BREEDING WILD TURKEYS

Ten pheasants from Ontario, Ore.
are domiciled in a temporary aviary
at the residence of j. Grant Crumley
on the Goldfield road. The birds are
the nucleus of what the Nye County
Fish and Game Protective Associa-
ton hopes will prove the collection
from which 1t is proposed to propa-
gate enough birds to start a regular
game breeding farm somewhere In
the southern end OF the county. The
birds are beauties and the associa-
ton, according to President j. @,
Thompson, will attempt to increase
the colony by using the incubator
system. 1t is almost impossible to
procure pheasants. as they command
a premium wherever they have been
introduced and the growing birds are
active demand by clubs anxious to
assist In stocking the country. Three
more birds r expected from a re-
serve in New Jersey and word has
been received from North Carolina
hat three Wild turkeys are on their
way to Tonopah.-Tonopah Times.

PAYS A TRIBUTE 70
THE MINING INDUSTRY

There IL one bank in San Fran
cisco that has the courage to openly
voice its endorsement Of the mining
industry, and pay out its good money
in advertising to let its sentiments on
that subject be known. That bank
Is the Bank Of California, and this
bank knows well the output Of the
mines. especially those Of the Com
stock lode, with the development and
history of which this bank was so
closely identified, says the American
Mine Reporter.
In . big display advertisement in
the daily press last Monday. the
Bank of California went on record
In favor Of mining in the following
statement:
The West pours from Its mines q
diversity Of minerals which not only
form the basis Of our Nations wealth
but also the backbone Of the indus
trial life Of the land. The demand for
such wealth will always exist and it
will always be the fortune Of the
West to contribute its share to meet
the demand.
There IL every reason for the bust
mes nce and individuals of the
West to face the future with con-
fidence and courage and a determine
lion to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities that q return to the state of
healthy prosperity holds in store"
This is the most striking declara-
ton OF faith In the mining industry
by q great banking institution that
W . have seen for many a day, and is
an event that is worthy Of more than
passing notice. 1t comes from an in
stftution that has been closely identi-
fed with mining for many years. and
still has an abiding faith In the in
dustry upon which its fortunes were
founded.
That 1t is not unappreciated is evil
denced by comments expressed by
every mining man to whose notice
this declaration has come, and 1t is
heralded In unstinted terms Of APP
and approval Of the cour-
ageous stand that great banking in
has taken.
The influence of this declaration
cannot fail to be far-reaching and of
great moral and financial benefit to
the mining industry.

ONLY ONE WAY
TO ENFORCE LAWS

Elko Free Press: Years, yes GEN.
turtles have taught US that the only
way to make q criminal respect the
laws was to enforce them. that to
show lfenency was to invite further
violations. The bill before the Leg
islature repeating the indeterminate
law has been reported out Of COM
mittee favorably and every member
OF both the House and Senate should
vote for this bill. There has been
entirely too much coddling Of the
criminals for the good Of the GRIM
inals themselves and at the expense
of the public. Nowadays 1t is a COM
mon expression among the criminal
class that a term in the State peni-
tentiary is nothing more or less than
a Joke and not a punishment.
1t costs money to prosecute a man
for q crime; the trial takes men Away
from their business and work: and
when finally a conviction is secured
and sentence il passed. it il discour-
aging to the average citizen to have
the prisoner turned loose even be-
fore he has served his minimum sem
tence. Just that happened in the ia
nous ham and bacon" case, when
Miles and Mcmahon were convicted
after thousands OF dollars had been
spent. They were sent to the State
penitentiary under the indeterminate
law and to serve not less than
two nor more than fifteen years. The

MINES OF DEATH
VALLEY INACTIVE
High Freight Rates Make OPP
erations of Many Proper
ties Quite Possible

Salt Lake Tribune: High freight
rates and the prevailing low prices
of copper and lead have caused the
shutting down Of many mines in the
Death Valley district, California, ac-
cording to a Salt Lake mining man
who returned recently from an ex-
tended trip to southern Nevada and
California camps. Travel now across
the desert roads is even more unusu-
al than IL was. because of the mac
tivity of the mining prop
critics in this district.
Operations at the plant of the Pa
cifc Coast Borax Company has been
suspended and a large amount Of the
manufactured product is on hand, it
is reported. Prevailing freight tariffs,
with the present price Of the mineral,
have made impossible the shipment
of the product to the company's re-
finery at Perth Amboy, N. J..
Although metal mining is at a low
ebb in the Death Valley region, sew
eral industries are developing
rapidly. One of the most important
of these new Industries is the mining
of i~nfusorial earth. Infusorial ~or
diatomaceous earth is an earthly sub
stance or soft rock composed Of the
siliceous skeletons Of small aquatic
plants CALLED diatoms. This mineral
is an important product in the re-
fining of petroleum. Twenty miles
from the Death Valley station the
Standard Oil Company is working a
large deposit of diatomaceous earth.
This deposit, which lies in large
stratum, is being worked by the
open-cut method. AS soon as mined
the mineral is shipped to San Fran
cisco and other California points for
use in the various refineries Of the
Standard Oil Company.
At Hart, California, a large deposit
of kaolin is being mined. Kaolin, a
white, soft. earthly mineral. consist
ing Of a hydrous silicate Of aluminium
and forming a large part of clay, is
used in the manufacture of porcelain.
Most of the best kaolin is shipped
from England into America. The de-
posit at Hart, however, is said to con-
tain a very high grade of the min
eral.
The company which is mir;ng the
deposit at present is using the pro-
duct mined in the manufacture of in
sulators for high-telsion electrical
power lines. Most of the deposits in
England lie in the strata, but that
near Hart is found in a vein. The de-
posit has been formed, it is said, by
the deterioration of a very heavy
feldspar. Nearly all of the insulat-
ors used in the United States are
manufactured in New Jersey. If this
industry succeeds in California, it
will mean the building up of another
profitable and important industry for
the West.

The Soldier and His Girl

the only kind of feminine company
he can find. And the soldier who
runs away from camp without leave
usually does so because he al no
longer endure social life in which a
lot of men are herded together with
out women.
SOCIAL LIFE SAVES MONEY
The hard-headed practical execu-
tives of the army therefore favor
hostesses and dances and all that
sort of thing because they saw mon
ey in hospital costs and in time loss
of men through Interpretation and
absence. The argument which has
been made by some directors, that
our soldiers should not be coddled
and that pink teas are not necessary
for fighting men, seem to them ir-
relevant. They do not care whether
you call 1t coddling or not. as long as
the result is gain in practical eff
cheney. - ~ ffet
At Camp Dix, in addition to es-
tablishing a hostess house and i'm
porting a bevy of girls every Satur-
day from Philadelphia. and smaller
bevies on other days from neighbor-
ing towns, the bureau has also ar
ranged a unique club in Philadelphia
for men from Camp Dix who are on
leave. In this city they have been
assisted by several women prominent
in Philadelphia society. Mrs. George
w. Drexel has taken charge of the
work and Mrs. Hapgood has given a
large residence to be the home of the
club. This club is capable of taking
care of from sixty to 100 men, which
is about all the enlisted men that are
to be found in Philadelphia from
Camp Dix at a given time. These
men certainly are coddled, IL you
want to call 1t that, to Judge by all re.
ports. CHARTERED in one of the fin
est residences of the city, they are tax.
an to dances. movies and the theatre;
they r introduced to pretty girls;
they are, in a word, treated as guests
at a house party.
One result is that they have a good
time and decide that being in the
army has its compensations, even il
1t is a life Of much restraint. An
other result is that they drink nc
wood alcohol. get into no fights and
fall into the clutches of no vampires.
On the whole, the idea that a sol
der should not be shown a good time
seems to fall to the ground. Es-
pecially when you remember that a
soldier of the new American army is
a young chap. just up from the coun-
try, avid of life and knowledge, CIV
ing himself for three years to his
government and trusting it for every
thing.

getting down to a proper basis. 1t is
going to return to practically its normal
state, and from that basis the new de-
velopment will come.
The auction market was never In a
more healthy condition than IL is at
preeent and home seekers who expect
to buy lots for their own homes will
no doubt find an opportunity TO build
homes on their own terms. as Gov. Smith
has signed bill exempting new build
ings from taxation for a period OF ten
years. and our sister state, New Jersey.
has also had a similar bill signed by
Gov. Edwards which exempts new
dwellings from taxation for a period or
Ave years. People are being crowded
out OF New York daily. and as the popu-
lation IS increasing at the rate of 2O0,-
600 year there is an average OF about
$4,000 crowded out of Manhattan each
year to make room for business. and as
everybody knows the greatest need OF
the community Is for homes.

Bidders are usually we'll versed In the
merits of properties which have been
advertised for such sales. and they rare

The buildings were designed by Wal

When completed they will furnish the

The lack of residential construction in
New York city. due chiefly to the pas
sage of the rent laws. made the commit
tees task comparatively easy in this
particular field. IL was decided that the

from every point of view the most nota-
BILE of its kind In the city. That struc-
ture. also designed by the architectural
firm OF Warren & Wetmore. probably

1t will occupy the block front in the
west side of Park avenue from Forty
ninth street to Fiftieth street, owned by
the New York Central Railroad. The

1927 WILL SEE MANY
BIG AUCTION SALES
BY JOSEPH p. DAY.

The auction market of 1920 will go
down in history as the most remarkable
ever recorded in New York city. l
consider the results obtained a clear
demonstration of the faith of the large
and small investor in this method of
buying and also Of confidence on the
part of the seller that the auction block
is the only logical method of dlsposing
of large numbers Of properties at
wholesale"
Without going into statistics l think
that il is pertinent to give a few figures
so that the magnitude OF offerings at
auction during the past year may be
realized at a glance. Since January 1.
1920 I have sold more than 10000
vacant lots and plots in New York city
and the suburban zone. also 73S build
ings of all classes. for a total slightly in
excess of s20.000.000.
Lack of space prevents the enumerat-
ing of a complete list OF sales held but
no review of 1920 activities would be
complete without passing mention of
such important offerings as those belong
ing to the Henry Astor estate. Russell
Sage estate, A. d. Juilliard estate, L. w.
Woolworth estate. Coster-Walsh estate,
Interborough Rapid Transit Company,
Burke Foundation, Eastchester Syndi-
cate, Jamaica Estates. King estate,
Scheiffelin estate and Hartman estate.
Among the Notable Auctions.
The principal auction sale Of the year
of improved properties i'm New York
city was that involving the holdings of
the Henry Astor estate. comprising a
large part of old Eden farm. now Times
square. A total of ISL buildings Of all
classes. including the fee of the land
under two theatres, were included in
this sale and the total obtained was
$5,159.075. The largest single sale of
unimproved realty in the city was that of
the Interborough Railway~~holdings. in
volving 240 lots and a few improved
parcels, the total being $S29,175.
In addition there MAS the Margaret
o. Sage sale. totallng S2,619.250: the
A. d. Julliard estate sale. $1,s9S,500.
and the sale of 404 dwellings, at Bridge
port. Conn. aggregating s1,44l,302.
The outstanding feature of the vacant
lot market was the new purchasing
power which has been created through
