small boy as he watched the ma
jestic procession of the Howe Great
London and Van Amburg Trained AMI
NAL Shows as 1t passed along the
main streets of Winnemucca, and he
was about right. The parade was the
most fiashy and the longest process
sion ever staged in this city and
brought forth no little amount of
favorable comment. The magnificent
horse display waB noteworthy and the
three hundred matched gray and
black equines reflect credit on their
grooms.
Another distinct feature of the pa
rade was the wonderful specimens of
| Gagged animals. There were open
cages galore which gave the 3pecta-
tor an opportunity to view the wild
animal performers at close range.

POISONED GRAIN
DOESN'T KILL HENS

Il. r. Sands, who is connected with
the Bureau of Biological Survey of
Nevada. passed through here Thurs
day and made arrangements with Joe
Wilson. county agent for the Farm
Bureau. to return here on the 10th,
when matters of interest to this coun-
ty will be taken up.
Sands has gone to Paradise for the
purpose of employing two men to dis
tribute poisoned grain over certain
portions of the forest reserve for the
purpose of eradicating squirrels. He
stated that many people were under
the impression that poisoned grain
kills sage hens, but 1t has been found
that such is not the case. He says
that a few years ago thousands OF
hens died in this section of the coun-
try, but that upon investigation it was
learned that this was due to disease
and at that time no poisoned grain
had been put out. Many sage hens
were dying in Idaho and Oregon from
the disease at the same time. It has
been further proven that in sections
where this grain has been distributed
no dead hens have been found
1t is estimated that sixty-five squir-
rels will eat as much as one COW and
their eradication will be a great bene-
fl to stockmen IN this community. II
is expected that upon Mr.. Sands re-
turn here he will bring some interest
ing data.

CROSS FERTILIZATION

We may also have to concede the cross fertilization of the male Humpy salmon with the female red or Sock eye salmon and the result my be the Jack salmon.

 "On August 31, through the cour- tesy of Mir.

 PROPAGATION WORK
 "ln my report, submitted herewith, 1t has been my endeavor to avoid any more than a brief feature of the work of investigation and the first year of propagation of the red sal mon in the district The field work and construction of the outdoor hatchery system occupied a period from May "A to August 31. During this period about three and one half miles of spawning grounds were in vestigated. It may be said that ap- proximately 3O,OOO red salmon reached their natural spawnirg grounds to seed the beds, wh..c the numbers that spawned around the shores of clear water arm of Eyak lake, and other small tributary streams that have subterranean or seepage flow of water. could only be guessed at.
 The first run of red salmon are smalled in size than following runs, with a reponderance of the male. about seven males to one female. Later in the season this condition is changed and the average Is about five males to one female and the size of both increases. Only a small proportion of spawning fish use the one mile, as its sources of glacier water. while it's tributary streams. at the forks and in Eyak flats. are some what cleared by various seepage wat CT, through gravel formation and rub- terranean springs. This condition is especially noticeable in the clear water arm district of the lake, as no red sal mon enter this stream for spawning, the stream going dry some distance above the lake, to enter its subtor- ranean passage to the lake. Along these shores the fish spawn in large numbers

OUTDOOR HATCHERY

"Nn outdoor hatchery was installed about July 10, at which time the pipe line, running about 1,4oo feet. from two springs. was completed. The water is also diverted from Surague creek al an elevation of approximate ly 700 feet which increases the \ lams and Steffgen streams, which increases the spawning area and run of red salmon into those waters.
 "A total of 100000 red salmon eggs were taken during the seasons. while the spawning area was cleaned of the trout. About onehalf of this allotment were fertilized and planted in a protected area on Spring creek, while the balance, or approximately 6.O0O,OOO were held in salmon boxes and baskets until the eyed staged was reached and they were then buried

MAKE VICIOUS ATTACKS
ON LINCOLN HIGHWAY

The suggestion that another at
tack may be made on the Lincoln
highway seems to be gaining some
ground, according to an editorial that
appeared in the Tonopah Times,
wherein 1t Is pointed out that mo
torists of southern Nevada should be-
stir themselves so they will not be
deprived of highway improvements
under the Phipps-Dowell bill provid-
ing for construction that meets with
the approval OF the secretary OF agri-
culture"
1t is further said that from all ac-
counts emanating from Carson City
it appears that the strongest boosting
Is for the northern route, with the
Arrowhead trail a strong second. Un-
der the provisions of the law each
state must designate one or more
routes. There must be transconti-
mental routes. In Nevada this means
that the highway must have outlets
at the California and Utah ends, with
the object OF connecting the other
government undertakings and finally
and eventually establishing a system
OF inter-communication from trunk
lines following a general east and
west or northerly and southerly
course. II Is suggested that citizens
OF southern Nevada get busy and
make a showing which may lead to a
change of heart on the part of the
Nevada highway commission.
The more good roads that are con-
structed the better for the country
at large. However, the Lincoln high
way is OF such vital Importance to
this district that the active citizens
will not permit IL being deprived of its
just share of any money that may be
made available either by federal or
state legislation. White Pine county
has kept up its end on this great
highway. and il any attempt is made
TO slight it those responsible for the
attempt will doubtless be called to ac-
count
This would seem to be another
good job for the Ely Chamber of
Commerce to keep In close touch

BUY SOMETHING MADE
OF COPPER, THE SLOGAN

Buy something made OF copper,
and thereby help your self as well
as help to take the copper surplus
off the market and hurry the start
ing of the great copper properties,
which is a matter OF such vital inter-
est to this district.
The many uses to which copper
can be advantageously put opens a
wide field. 1t is not only necessary
for the construction OF such great
enterprises as the telegraph and
telephone lines OF the country, but
all realize the fact that 1t Is the
most desirable metal that can be
used for vessels such as are always
needed In the household kitchen. A
copper boiler, for example, will out.
wear dozens OF the tin variety and in
the end is found to be far the more
economical.
A copper kettle is much more de-
sirable than many OF the other met
ais used in the construction of such
vessels, and when considered from
the standpoint OF durability has the
additional featue of being the cheap
est In the long run.
il the Christmas shoppers will ask
their dealers to show them some
thing made of copper they will in all
probability have exhibited to them
some useful article and presenting
such an artistic appearance as to
be Just what they are looking for.
One more fact to be considered Is
that the copper market is going up.
and when the surnlus now on hand
has been taken off the market pur-
chasers will not be able to procure
either such vessels as are needed
for the kitchen or the more artistic
things made OF copper at the prices
prevailing today.
II 100, ,0O0,0 people were to pur-
chase one small article made of cop
per. what would be the result? II
requires but little on the part of a
great number to accomplish a de-
sired result.
The desire OF this district is to see
the surplus copper taken of the mar
ket which will mean the starting ur
of the mines and the smelter and in
general a return to prosperity.
IL any person will stop and con-
slider what the opening up of the
copper properties means to the coun.
try he Will Immediately conclude
that any purchase he may make OF
an article made OF copper will bring
to him personally a, handsome re.
turn, because the opening up of the
properties in this district would
bring to every man increased Gaming
power. which would but in a few
days return to his pocket q Ia
greater sum than he might expent
in the making OF his purchase. HI
would therefore have his article
made OF copper and be money ahead
BUY something made of copper
and you will make gold for yourself

RICH STRIKE
IN BOSTON.ELY MINE

Perhaps the most important fac
tor in mine development in this dis
trict for many months past was that
at the Boston and Ely Consolidated
this week, when on the top of the
raise east of the tunnel a crosscut
was driven which developed thirty
three feet OF commercial ore averag-
ing 6 per cent copper.
No. 2 shaft Is now down depth
of 12S feet. At depth of 104 feet a
crosscut was driven west seventeen
feet. disclosing limonite with copper.
AS development work progresses at
the mine the orebodies uncovered ex-
ceed all expectations, and while it
has been conceded on all sides for
some time past that the Boston and
Ely has one OK the great mines OF the
district, 1t simply grows larger day
by day.
Under directions from the New
York Office of the company the local
management has already engaged the
necessary men to increase the force
and these will be put to work during
the coming week. The work will
hereafter be driven ahead on Sun
days as well as all other days during
the week, as the instructions from
headquarters are to push develop
ment 10 the limit.
While the management OF the Bos-
ton and Ely is what might be termed
ultra conservative, the property is at
all times open to visitors and prac-
tically every day some of the we'll
known mining men of this district
visit the property to confirm in their
own mind the discovery of another
great copper producer. Practical
miners, as we'll as those with techni-
cal training, after going through all
the workings. where they are permit
ted to wander as though In depart
ment store. are unanimous in their
expressions of amaZement at the
great bodies of commercial ore which
the persistent and judicious develop
ment work on the part of the COM
pany has uncovered.
Ono OF the best known mining men
In this district. who some years ago
amassed a fortune in mine develop
ment. yesterday visited the property
of the Boston and Ely. He stood at
the portal OF the tunnel and when he
saw ten successive cars of high-grade
copper ore thrown over the dump he
simply said: "She Is a whale beyond
the shadow of doubt" and he re-
turned to his automobile and drove
back to town. where he expressed the
UNQUALIFIED opinion that 1t was one
of the greatest properties so far de.
developed in this great copper district

UNEXPLAINED DELAY N
STARTING ROAD WORK

The delay In starting the road
work in Robinson canyon has been
a general topic of conversation dur
ing the week.
The difficulty seems to be entirely
due to the routine matters necessary
to procure federal money. This
naturally is the one big item and
the county commissioners have been
earnestly endeavoring to locate the
seat of the trouble.
The most encouraging news was
that received by Commissioner F. N.
Clark from Federal Highway Engi-
neer Lynch. with headquarters at
Ogden, late last Friday in reply to
one OF the wires he had sent out in
an effort TO get the work started

P|OCHE AND CAL|ENIE
BOOSTERS TO VISIT ELY

The highway boosters who are
coming to Ely as representatives o,
the Pioche and Caliente Commercial
Clubs. as told in the News two weeks
ago. are expected to arrive in Ely
next Wednesday. according to tele-
grams passing between the coming
visitors and II. S. Sturdevant of the
Ely Chamber of Commerce
The representatives from Phoebe
and Caliente in their wire asked II
IL would be convenient to arrange A
meeting with those interested in the
welfare of White Pine county. to he
held in Ely next Wednesday. To this
President Sturdevant replied that the
date was agreeable and Ely citizens
would be pleased 10 make such ar
rangements. He further asked as to
the number that would probably be
in the visiting party, and as to this
has not been definitely informed. Ii
is thought more than likely that the
southern bosters will be ACCOMPANIED
by their wives.
The Eastern Nevada highway Is
one that viii no doubt come up for
discussion. In connection with this
route. as formerly told in the News.
the commissioners OF Clark county
are building a highway from the Lin
coin county line south through Clark
county by way of the Muddy river
and Moapa TO Las Vegas. By con-
tinuing that route north through the
Pahranagat valley to Alamo and from
there to calient9. where II would con-
meet with the Eastern Nevada high
way. and thence on through Phoebe
IN Ely. most desirable route would
be opened through White Pine. Lin
CON and Clark counties, which would
make touring through beautiful
section OF the county natter of
pleasure instead OF hardship. which
IS always attendant upon travel over
roads not properly improved.
Just what arrangements will be
made for the entertainment of tho
visitors has not yet been definitely
decided. but the matter under con-
sideration is to give the good roads
boosters banquet and furnish them
with an evenings entertainment
which Will not soon be forgotten.
Good roads means good towns all
along their route. Good towns means
good business The Ely district is in
4 position 10 attract an enormous
tourist travel during the greater por-
tion OF every year. Whenever the
question OF good roads is under dis
cussiou let all get IN and boost. 1t
means prosperity for the district. and
all hope TO enjoy their share OF that
prosperity II Is then the duty of
every individual to do his part in
bringing II about.
