This will be Mothers day, the day of

America should pause to venerate
the memory of the great heart that

Development to
Follow Litigation
Wilson Mining Property Controversy
Was Settled Monday and Work
VIII Be Started

One of the most important min
ing transfers occurring In this coun-
ty for a long time was completed
yesterday when Frank Wilson, ma
jority stockholder in the Nevada
Wilson Mining Co., claiming the
ownership of the Wilson mine in the
eastern part of this county, trans
of the Neyada-Lincoln Mining Co.,
also claiming ownership of the same
mining property.
The settlement occurred out of
court and came as a sequel to a
long period of litigation. The case
had been in the supreme court of
the state and in the district court of
this county and anticipating con-
tinued litigation both parties to the
controversy agreed to a sales ar
rangement that is said to be entire
ly satisfactory to all of those in
volved.
The Wilson mine was formerly
owned by the Nevada-Lincoln Co.,
represented by G.. S Johnson. Mr.
Wilson, the original locator, con-
tinued to work the mine for a year
without receiving a wage, according
to his contention, and the property
was attached and sold for delin-
quent wages. He later incorporated
the Nevada-Wilso Mining Co.,
with the mine as a nucleus, and was
afterward sued by the representa-
tiyes of the original company who
sought possession of tho mining
property on the ground that they
had been illegally deprived and the
claim was set up that title never
passed.
Under the terms OF the agree
ment between Mr.. Johnson and Mr.
Wilson a new company will be or
ganized with stockholders of the Ne
vada- Wilson receiving $4,000
shares and those of the original
company 100000 shares.
Plans are being made by Mr.
Johnson for the development of the
mine and experts generally who
have inspected the property assert
with surprising unanimity that mil
lions lie hidden and are easy of re-
covery. Undoubtedly one of the
states great mines is about to be
developed.

FARM BUREAU CENTERS
TO BE CONSOLIDATED

Four districts have expressed
their desire for a Community Gen.
ter which is to be consolidation of
three of the centers close to Fallon
and of those desiring to join from
the Fallon environs.
Soda Lake is without a meeting
place and the members feel they can
meet in Fallon once a month.
Old River district is divided by
the river and it is difficult for the
members south of the river to get
TO the school house.
The majority of the members OF
the Union community live closer to
Fallon than to the school house and
feel they can meet In Fallon to bet
ter advantage.
There have always been a number
of farmers and others interested In
farming in and around Fallon who
desire to be actively allied with the
farm bureau work
II Is for these reasons that the
Fallon community center Is TO be
established. With we'll attended

HENDERSON WILL NOT BE
CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR

Inc ElkO fTee ffesb says ludl
Senator Charles b. Henderson, who
returned from Washington to his
home in Elko a few days ago, an
nounced in the most emphatic man
ner possible that he would not be q
candidate for the United States SEN
ate at the coming election in 1922.
Nor would he express himself on the
rumor that he would be a candidate
for governor next fall saying that
he had not been approached on the
subject and had given the matter
absolutely no thought or considera
ton whatever.
II expect to give my entire time
and attention to my neglected busi-
ness" he said, land for a long time
to come will be busy at Elko, Reno
and in California, where l have in
terests, and politics do not interest
me at the present time"
Senator Henderson denied that he
intended to enter the practice of
law in Elko. as It has been reported.
In speaking of the general bust
ness depression throughout the en-
tire country he said that Nevada
was not in as bad a condition as the
eastern states. and that he felt that
from now on there would be a grao-
ual upward tone, but believed thet
IL would take time to get back on Il
good time basis, possibly moro than
a year When he left Washington
D. c., he said the general belief
was that congress would rush
through the emergency tariff act,
and this would do much towards
helping conditions. especially the
producer, the stockmen and the
farmer.
Senator Henderson carried 10 his
vest pocket the bullet fred through
his arm by Charles Crock, who at
tempted 10 kill him some weeks ago,
and the wound In his arm has just
healed. The bullet passed through
the right forearm, and lodged In the
wall OF the room where 1t was found
and presented TO the senator for q
pocketpiece.
Senator Henderson considers him
self very fortunate In escaping with
his life, as he believes that Crock
expected to find him In his private
Office and had planned to shoot him
as he was sitting In his chair. giving
no opportunity to escape.

GetsFirstL Labor
Lahontan Valley Sugar Company
Receives Its First Labor
Contingent Yesterday

The first contingent of laborers,
a dozen in number, arrived In Fall
Ion yesterday to work in Newlands
project beet fields. Hindus, with
turban covered heads, they formed
the vanguard of a small army that
will be at work shortly making beet
fields spick and span that the maxi
mum of production may be obtained
next harvesting time. Beets have
in no instance reached the thinning
stage and Manager Fred Hinze pro-
poses to busy the late arrivals at
tasks around the factory where
much cleaning up remains to be
done.
Every sign points to very heavy
yield of beets per acre this fall
Never in the history of the Fallon
factory have farmers striven 30 as
siduously TO place their lands in
prime condition, nor has care ever
been exercised by our farmers to the
degree that has characterized the
initial stages of the season this year.
A large number of the farmers of
the project have come to realize that
raising sugar beets is a process
which insures ready cash in the fall
and the assurance of the receipt of
a due reward is complete. II is one
crop giving return that may be
anticipated almost to the dollar and
farming plans may be made with a
complete certitude. 1t thus happens
that farmers, not now In the list of
beet raisers. are figuring on engag-
ing in beet raising next season, for
prudent land owners figure and lay
plans for the future and many hun
dreds OF acres of alfalfa lands,
too long in this leguminous crop,
will be plowed up this fall and made
ready for beet seeding next spring.
Other farmers now raising beets
will double or triple their acreages
of this season. Auguries exist which
point emphatically to the perma-
nency of the beet industry In this
valley nd insure a degree of pros
perity from this joint farming and
manufacturing enterprise that will
make of Fallon and its surrounding
neighborhoods q section of unex-
ampled prosperity.
The Lahontan Sugar Company
has a number of agricultural men
In the field to give instructions and
help and encourage the farmers In
every way possible and the high
class of these associates of our farm
ers is going a long way to encour-
age the beet raising idea.
The Newlands project farmer is
coming to realize that sugar beet
crop is one of the best forms of
routine production that co-ordinates
perfectly with the dairy and with
every form of intensive farm crop.
Pulp and molasses are dairy ad-
juncts that bring splendid results
and cannot be excelled as winter
months foods, forming a balanced
ration that is unexoelled. Farmers
not only receive value for their
beets, topped and delivered, but the
item of tops should not be over
looked. 1t is estimated that this
by-product of the beet field is worth
easily one dollar for every ton of
beets topped.

Cirac Device to
Be Manufactured
Fallon Invention Proves Very Useful
and Promises to Completely
Change Auto Driving

The name of the Cirac invention,
originally called the automatic re-
verse control, is now the Shaftlock
and as such will shortly be placed
on the market for sale to owners of
cars. c. p. Cirac, who perfected
the invention in collaboration with
his brother, George, arrived in Fall
Ion Saturday from San Francisco,
driving a car equipped with the con-
troll device. Since his arrival Mr.
Cirac assisted by c. w. Foote, has
been busy making demonstrations
and an incline platform erected on
the corner of Maine street and Will
liams avenue has been utilized for
the purpose.
Fallon people who have witnessed
the functioning of the devi agree
without exception in the conclusion
that automobile accidents through
loss of control will be eliminated
completely with the general use of
the device. Western distributors of
cars who have beon shown the ap-
pliance are so enthusiastic over its
possibilities that the matter of mar
kets seems fully assured.
The officers of tho original COM
pany have perfected a subsidiary
corporation known as the Shaftlock
and the new organization will bene-
fit solely from the manufacture and
sale of the control for used cars.
For every share of stock sold in the
new. company the parent company
is to receive a share for it's patent
rights.
1t is planned to commence work
In the near future on a machine
shop to be built in San Francisco
where the parts of the shaftlocks
will be assembled and finished and
sale rights will be sold for western
districts, a very encouraging situa-
tion existing as to agencies.
There seems to be no question
whatever but that the Shaftlock
Company will find a far greater de-
mand for its product than can be
filled for a long time to come. More
than 100 orders were received by
Mr.. Foote as a result of his demon
strations made on the occasion of a
recent trip to San Francisco.
Plans made earlier for the build
ing of the projected FIRST machine
shop unit have been lately greatly
enlarged as a result of the encour-
agement received from representa-
tives of the automobile industry and
smaller plants will be erected
In Portland and Seattle
To encompass the aims now en-
tertained II is planned TO sell treas
ury stock to tho amount of about
$4,000 which will go in its en-
tirety into construction. There are
no brokers, no premiums, no COM
missions, no promotion stock, and
the investor who wants what seems
TO be certain income returning in
vestment seems to have an avenue
for his money In the shaftlock Com
pany

New Drilling
For Oil Here
Fallon OIL Field Goes Ahead Under
Stimulus of New
Capital

Much new development occurred
In the Fallon oil field In the last
week. The period has been ban
ner one In more ways than one. The
Calneva we'll on the Branch farm
west of Fallon reached q depth of
S35 feet on Saturday aud heavy oil
showings were encountered. 1t was
believed that oil sands had been
penetrated and preparations were
being made to prove up the hole
when the drill bit was lost and time
was lost in recovering the tool.
Manager A. L. Robinson Is Alto
gether optimistic but was frank to
say yesterday that the possibilities
of the we'll as 1t is constituted re-
main undetermined, yet he expressed
strong hopes that he would be able
to show oil production In very ap-
preciable quantities In the next day
or two.
The Syndicate oil company. organ
ICED a short time ago under the d.
rection of True vencill and count
ing some of the strong men of the
state within its directorate, is max
ing all plans for carly drilling In the
Fallon field. w. C. Noteware, we'll
known Lovelock citizen, is secretary
of this company, and has announced
that he will take UP his headquar-
ters In this city in order that he
may look after the operations OF his
concern. II is given out that two
rigs, one a standard and the other
an Okell rotary, will be purchased
within the next few days and
brought and set to work with all
possible expedition. Tho Syndicate
oil company is now completing cer-
tain land leases and a stockholders
meeting will be held In Reno on
next Monday.
The Churchill County Oil and
Gas company is prosecuting work In
an energetic way on the George B.
Williams farm east Of this city. A
depth of more than 100 feet had
been reached yesterday and eight
inch casing has been put In place to
depth of $40 feet. The men be-
hind this company have been en-
couraged with heavy oil seeps for
weeks and Driller Gregory Is a most
optimistic man as a result of his
work
The Fallon Oil and GGs company
is down to a depth of more than 600
feet with its new well which is be-
ing bored of the diameter of 12
inches and President Wayne Young
9aid yesterday that the discovery
we'll which electrified Nevada a year
ago is shortly to be eclipsed by a
real producer which will fully prove
the field
The Fallon-Nevada Union enter
prise at the Clarence B. Rico farm
north of Fallon is making good
progress and although not down to
great depth is expected to be among
the first to complete a we'll. Driller
T. w. Clarke has charge of the work
and his drilling outfit is the largest
rotary In the field. His we'll Is
down to depth of IT'S feet.
The Pioneer Oil company is ap-
preaching the 1000-foot mark with
a IL and 10 inch hole. Work is
progressing daily and the company's
officials expect to be able to make
within the near fu-
ture which will carry conviction
that oil underlies the eastern part of
the Fallon field in paying quantities.
The Pioneer has repeatedly en-
countered oil seeps and shales
of proven oil fields
and seemingly only depth is re-
quired to proftably mature the pro-
ject In hand.
