RANCH
GETS BIG WELL

Beatty, Nevada, Sept. IA sensa-
tional flow of artesian water is re-
ported to have occurred at Pahrump
ranch during the past week according
to Patrick Miles, superintendent of
Paddy's Pride mine near Shoshone,
who is considered one of the best
posted men on the Death Valley re-
gion.
The flow tapped last week is pro-
|ducing more water than all the origin
al wells which have been utilized for
irrigating the immense area of the
Pahrump Ranching Company's hold
ings. amounting to over 500 acres un-
der actual cultivation.
The value of the flow cannot be
over estimated since the company is
one of the largest ranching corpora
tions west of the Wahsatch and has
the money to carry out any project
that may be sanctioned by the board
of directors.
Last June the company engaged
the services of one of the best drillers
on the Coast who was instructed to
bring in his own outfit in order that
the company might make a final test
of under flow of the valley In order
to extend the scope of its operations.
The first hole brought In a pumper
at a depth Of 500 feet with the water
rising to within fifty feet of the sur
face, leaving an easy lift. Then the
drill was changed to the mesa. where
the company owns close to 1000 acres
with the idea of determining II this
land could be put in crops.
The company went to 500 feet
without securing any flow and then
concluded to sink to 1000 or 1900
with the prospect of striking oil as
the section had been favorably rec
ommended by biologists. At 500
fet the artesian belt was penetrated
and the water shot clear to the top of
the drilling rig.
Miles did not have the exact data
about the quantity but, he said, 1t
was currently reported in the south
ern end of the county that the deliv-
cry was much greater than the orig
inal Pahrump well which flows in a
ditch fifteen feet wide and four feet
deep.

A GLANCE At THE
BUSINESS SITUATION

[From the September monthly let
ter of the National City bank of New
York
General Conditions.-Littlec change
during August as compared with July.
Numerous bad earning statements
and dividend suspensions by big con-
Germs show that industry and trade
are taking their losses as we'll as the
farmer.
Stocks and Bonds-Weakness Of
whole list of stocks indicates little
general confidence in early business
revival. Bond market showing good
strength.
Money-New demands light. Bank
clearings off about one-fourth as
compared with last year. Evidently
people have their minds fixed on get
ting out of debt.
Iron and Steel-Activity still low,
with both wages and prices yielding
W tue SlIdlu VI uuuci-COuSuiHpliOu.
Textiles-Industry shows conspicu-
Gus exception to prevailing depres-
sion, and is making very good show
ing. Prices, particularly for cotton
goods, have moved upward.
Grains-Late estimates make to-
tai of wheat for United States and
Canada about same as last year.
Movement to about unusually heavy.
Corn crop 5000, 900 bushels, with
large carry over and market price un-
profitably low.
Cotton-With acreage reduced ap-
proximately rs per cent, and low
yield per acre, predictions are that
this years's crop will be from 7,000.-
600 to 100000 bales. Estimated
that carry-over of some 100000
bales is held in this country, but
much of this is low grade.
Live Stock-Market recovered dur
ing July but lost in August. Unde-
sirable feature is light movement OF
feeders and stock cattle from central
markets to farms.

EUREKA SCHOOLS
RE.0PENEO TUESDAY
Enrollment In High School Is
IS, and In the Grades 81

school opened Tuesday with a spir-
Il and an attendance that promises a
wear of work well done. The number
registering in the High School the
opening day was the same as on the
first day last year. The grade at
tendance was nine more that at the
beginning last Fall, with the heaviest
enrollment in the first and eighth
grade rooms.
Comparative figures are not yet
obtainable for the grade attendance
over the State, but reports for at
tendance reports in the high schools
of the State show that the Eureka
County High School stands first. Reg
ular and punctual attendance is one
OF the best guarantees that successful
work will be done. The pupils and
homes OF Eureka gave this element
Of success last year. and the begin
ming week this Fall proves that we
will have the same cooperation again
this year.
The boys and girls are much inter-
ested in the improvement of the play
ground on the vacant lot owned by
the district. With Miss Eichelberger,
they are making plans for completing
the work started last Spring and for
getting apparatus for the playground.
The phonograph for the grades
should be here in a few days. This
will not only give a great deal of
pleasure. but will be used in a prac-
tical way by the selection of special
records, to make the physical exer-
cises more interesting and as an aid
in Miss Browns music classes and in
Miss Henderson's penmanship work.

THIRTY TEACHERS STILL
NEEDED in ELKO SCHOOLS

The Elko Free Press says: In the
county OF Elko there are seventy-nine
school districts, or rather there are
that number of school houses where
the art OF readin'. ritin' and 'rithme-
tic is pounded into the ivory dome of
the young by the energetic teacher.
But this year there is lack of teach
ers. even though some of the wages
paid in the districts reach $40 per
month. The very lowest is s110 and
that is at places where there are but
three or a half dozen pupils.

The game on Monday was delayed
for few minutes, as A. Smith, catch
er for the Lund team, injured a finger
on his right hand, and he was unable
to catch, and as Lund had no other
catcher with them, Captain Travers
of Eureka took r. Laird off 1st base
and Laird caught the game for Lund,
and he was trying-at all times to give
the best he had in the catching line.
The batteries for the day were Lew
is, Merialdo and Rebaleati for Eu-
reka, L. WINS and Laird for Lund.
This was the first appearance of
Lewis in the box for the local team,
and for six innings he held the Lund
team scoreless. He weakened in the
seventh and three scores were chalked
up against him. After walking the
first man in the eighth, he was pulled
and Captain Travers put his main
stay P Merialdo in the box. One run
but in the ninth the Lund team did
not have a look in.
p Merialdo played first for the
home team, in place of r. Laird, and
when Merialdo relieved Lewis, the
latter went to first base. Both boys
played the bag we'll.
The home team did not play as
good a fielding game as on Sunday,
Cline shortstop making his second
error of the season and Travers had
two errors chalked against him, and
Sullivan three at third. The out
field played errorless ball in both
games, and turued many hits in to

EUREKA MINING NEWS
EUREKA-HOLLY


High grade ore for shipment is be-
ing extracted from two different
shoots on the 400 level. The shoot
to the south on the 400 improves with
depth both as to size and metallic
content. The branch of the main
Holly shoot, which is also being
worked on the 400 level at the point
where the main shoot passed below
the level, improves daily.
BULLwHACKER
The main Bullwhacker 43O drift
penetrated the lime last Saturday.
The contact of the limestone and
porphyry is of such character that it
is expected that further development
along this contact will determine the
position of the downward extension of
the Bullwhacker ore shoots, on this
level.
EUREKA-UNCLE SAM
The ore shoot that was struck in
the main tunnel about two weeks ago,
assaying from $3.50 to $1,000, has
been drifted on for distance of ga
feet and is still continuing strong. A
we'll mineralized cross fissure is be-
ing drifted on towards the shale,
which promises to open another body
of ore. At present the ores are only
being blocked out, as no ore bins have
as yet been built, and with the pres
ent condition of the county road from
Eureka to the mines and the town of
Prospect, 1t would be impossible to
get through with a load. Our Coun-
ty Commissioner in charge of the
roads in this end of the county has
been prevailed upon to remedy this
condition. but with no avail. 1t would
seem to be a shame when outside cap
ital is willing to come into our dis
trict and develop its resources, that
our Commissioner will absolutely re-
fuse to put the county road in condi-
tion so that supplies can be gotten to
the mines. d. STATES,
