RICH GOLD FIND
REPORTED HERE.

Following closely the reported rich
find made In .Minnehaha canyon In
which district at least three hundred
mining locations have been made, e.
W. Carman of the Detroit Gold Mining
company, now operating the old Long
fellow property In Red canyon, an
nounces that new find has been made
on the company's property, the extent
of which has not yet been determined.
Finding that the shaft on the Long,
fellow mine had caved at the 20O-foot
level, the miners were put to work
developing a prospect pending the
time that repairs to the shaft could
be made. and from all indication the
caving of the shaft was a fortunate
occurance. In an open cut a ledge has
been uncovered, sample of which taken
at the surface show values exceeding
$500 In gold per ton. The extent of
the find is not known as the miners
have been unable to work on the new
ly discovered ledge because of con-
tinued snow and rain storms that have
prevailed throughout the week in that
high elevation. However, Just as soon
as the weather permits. work will be
continued on the newly discovered
ledge.
The Red canyon district Is but a
short distance from Minnehaha canyon
where rich strike was made two
weeks ago.

THINKS WELL OF
CARSON VALLEY

Louis Springmeyer of Oakland, Cal,
federal appraiser for the Federal Land
Bank of Berkeley was an arrival last
Saturday and spent several days in
this valley visiting relatives before
proceeding to other sections of Nevada
on business connected with the ap-
praisement of land.
For the past several weeks Mr..
Springmeyer has been in Churchill
county where he made examinations
OF Twenty-Five farms for which loans
have been asked through the local
board. Applications received for loans
in that county total $119,3O0 according
to statement made by the appraiser.
From this point Mr.. Springmeyer
went to Mason Valley and upon COM
pletion of his work there will proceed
to White Pine county.
Mr.. Springmeyer was born and rear
ed In Carson Valley and stated to a
reporter of this paper that until re-
Gently he never realized what a won
derful agricultural empire this section
embroced. That the farmers In my
old home section are prosperous is
self-evident from the fact that while
all other districts have organized fed
eral loan boards in order to secure
needed loans, the farmers of Douglas
county have not applied for federal
aid, but have been able to finance their
farm projects through local capital" 1"
The Federal Appraiser has had occa-
sion to visit many farming districts
on the Pacific Coast during the past
year, and nowhere has he found a
community that will compare with
Carson Valley. This does not imply
that there is depression and farm fail
ures because such Is not the case.
There are hundreds OF thriving farm
ing centers throughout California and
Nevada, but none OF them carry the
outward expression OF continued pros
perity that is today evident in Carson
Valley.

CARSON ROAD
MAY BE PAVED

The Nevada highway department Is
the United States bureau Of public
roads a request that the project en-
bracing the three and one-half miles
Of gravel-surfaced road this side of
Minden be reopened. and that the fed
eral government participate in finance
ing an asphaltic wearing surface for
this particular portion of highway.
According to Howard M. 10y, as
sistant chief engineer. the proposed
improvement or addition will cost ap-
proximately $500 per mile. The cost
to the county would be about twenty
per cent of the total, the state and
federal government both participating
In the balance.
Should the project be approved at
Washington the manner Of giving the
road a wearing surface will be first to
loosen the old gravel surface, smooth.
EN- it and fill depressions, and then to
apply printing coat Of oil. Between
twenty-fo and forty-eight hours lat
er hot asphalt will be spread over the
surface and a threefourths' inch top
ping of screened gravel or crushed
rock applied and rolled. No curing
process of two or three weeks, as In
the case OF concrete, is necessary

MACHINERY ON
WAY TO ALPINE

The giant steam shoyels of the
Western States Gas and Electric COM
pany were put to work last week load
Ing the heavy pieces of machinery onto
the freight wagons at Minden and
Tuesday the steam shovels which are
mounted on track laying type OF tract
ors. started out under their own power
for the reservoir site at Twin Lakes
In Alpine county. Owing to their great
weight and 1l-foot width. 1t was found
impossible to cross the main county
bridges and they were taken through
the Dangberg home ranch field to
avoid the river bridges. All of the
bridges crossed were strengthened
with heavy timbers to carry the weight
OF 30 tons. The shovels travel at a
speed of two miles an hour and sew
eral days will be required to reach the
mountain roads in Woodfords canyon
Above Fredericksburg the shovels will
be put TO work widening the road In
order that the giant machines can
NAL ke the trip over the narrow roads
A crew Of men were sent up last
week to blast out the lodges above the
road and the shovels will clear the
rocks from the road.
The six Holt tractors and other
machinery will be taken to the snow
line and from that point the road will
be widened and rebuilt I'm order to get
the outfit to Silver Lakes.
A large electric plant is to be put In
operation at the reservoir site and
work will continue throughout twenty
four hours OF every day until the win
ter storms set in.
The storage system to be built is but
one unit Of vast electric system of
the Western States Gas and Electric
company for furnishing power and
lights to coast cities.

one came up smiling but shivering
somewhat from their narrow escape.
The young lady climbed onto the back
OF the steer and the next moment she
was rolling in the dust. She made a
game attempt to hold her seat on the
hurricane deck of Mr.. Steer but the
tidal waves of steerdom were a little
too much for her to master with any
degree of success.
Following the bucking exhibition. a
series of races were held on the main
street of Minden and prizes were
awarded the winners.
In the evening q dance was held at
C. v. l. c. hall and was attended by a
record breaking crowd. In fact the
crowd was so great that 1t was i'm
possible for all to dance on the big
floor at the same time. Tony's orches-
ira furnished the music for the occa-
sion. while supper was served at the
Minden Inn. Through the expert man
agement of Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw, the
great crowd was cared for in the best
possible manner. both the large dining
room and grill being thrown open, and
with extra help the diners we're serv-
ed in remarkable short time and In a
manner that was highly satisfactory
to all.
While all of the committees In
charge OF the big celebration did their
part we'll. the success Of the affair
rested upon the shoulders Of VIM
| Dangberg and for his untiring work
he is not only to receive the commen-
dation OF the people Of Minden, but
the residents of Carson Valley in gen.
eral., 1t was William Dangberg that
started the movement for the erection
+, OF a memorial tablet and for months
he worked untiringly for the success
Of the undertaking.

BALL LEAGUE
FALLS THROUGH

II. II. Boone. manager of the Gard
nerville ball team, gives it as his opin
ion that the Sagebrush League. has hit
upon a snag that virtually means its
DEATH
When the league was first proposed
teams of Sparks, Fallon, Carson, Vir-
ginia, Yerington and Gardnerville,
agreed to enter the organization. A
meeting was held at Fallon and arti-
cles of agreement drawn up. The vir-
ginia City teams was the first to show
hesitancy in signing up, and the
Northwestern team of Reno wanted tc
fill the vacancy. The Sparks players
threw the second monkey into
the machinery of the newly formed
organization by demanding $75 for
each game played when 1t had been
stipulated that each team receive
travelling expenses and certain per
cent of the gate receipts. Following
the demand of Sparks, the Carson
team refused to post forfeit of $50 to
guarantee their appearance as called
for by the arranged schedule. Fallon.
Yerington and Gardnerville are the
three teams that stand willing to abide
by the articles of agreement drawn up
at the meeting held in Fallon, but
three teams cannot make successful
league, and the organization has been
abandoned.
However, Manager Boone, reports
that his players will be able to ar
range for a series of games to be
played on the local diamond and else
where during the summer season.
