QUEEN Of THE HILLS
MINE IS LEASED

The Queen of the Hills Mine. sit
uated near Hiko, in the Irish Noun
tain district has recently been leas-
ed by Jamees Wheeler of Phoebe and
operations have already been com
menced. The mine lies on the
Southerly lower slope of Mount Irish
and was a famous producer in the
early days when Hike was the coun-
ty seat of Lincoln county. After
passing through the hands of various
owners the mine was latter acquired
and patented by Mr.. Greer of Alamo.
Associated with Mr.. Wheeler are sew
eral other mining men of Phoebe and
the property will be intensively de-
velOped.
A great amount of interest is now
being taken in this well known min
eral bearing area than for many
years past and a number of prospec-
tors and mining men have lately
been looking over the distrit with a
view of acquiring property. The
Silver Prince company has been do
ing steady development work for
several months under the manage
ment of R. P. Jones and recent re-
suits indicate that a tonnage of prof
liable ore will be opened up on their
property Drifting from the 100 foot
level of the main vertical shaft is
now being done and the ore shoot
opened up in the tunnel will be pros

BIG HARVEST IN
LOVELOCK VALLEY

The farmers of the Lovelock val
ley have about completed the harv-
esting of their grain crops and cut
ting of the second crop of alfalfa
hay, which is the beaviest in the his
tory of the valley.
Fully 100000 bushels of grain
have bee nharvested this season with
sixty per cent of that wheat, thirty
five per cent barley and five per cent
oats. Thirty-five cars of wheat were
moved during the last week.
Many fields show an average of
sixty-flve bushels to the acre, but
the general average over the valley
estimated about forty bushels to the
acre. TIE farmers are receiving S.
or hushel for their wheat and 81
er ton for their baled hay on cars
"'he third crop Of alfalfa hay is be-
ing sold for pasturing purposes.
Outside stockmen are offering the
farmers IS for hay with verv faw
selling yet. With the beginning Of
last week outside stockmen have be-
kun to ship in stock for pasaturing.
Many of the farmers have leased
their pastures to sheep men, but no
! hoep will be brought in until after
the heavy frosts.

of profitable ore which will be an
important factor in the future pro-

MOVES TO STOP

George Anderson, Washoe county

here were not exaggerated.
IN one place on the Oregon side OF

in another fourteen had fallen. They
were left as food for the buzzards

about plans for the 1922 campaign,
comprehensive plans which do not
leave things to hit-or miss policy
of general hopefulness, but which
proceed with knowledge of the facts

beyond the organization purpose, the
committee meeting has no political

A general conference of all ship

establishment OF Just and reasonable
rates to cover the movement of ores

order that no mining district or mine
operator in the State may be over
looked full information should be
placed before the Commission. Get
your request in at once.
All shippers are invited to be pres

and to show the tonnage that they
have available and the rates under
which it can be shipped.
The conference is OF great import

JOBLESS WEEKS COST BILLIONS.

Washington, Oct. 11.--Losses in
earnings of workers throughout the
country during the past fiscal year,
due to involuntary idleness were put
at more than $500, 100000 in an
estimate prepared by economic ex-
perts Of the national conference on
unemployment.
This estimate, it was explained,
covered the loss in wages becauses of
unemployment of all the jobless in
the country from July, 1920, to Aug
ust 10, 1921, and was based on an
approximation of normal pay levels
rather than on the scales at the poaA
Of high wages. Efforts Of the con-
ference, it was said, would be turn
a toward a remedy for the economic
loss to the country from such reduc-
