WILL ERECT PLANT
TO EXTRACT GOLD

Thos. II. Ruddy returned from
Mono Lake last Sunday very much
pleased with the outlook for the COM
ing seasons work i'll extracting the
gold from the waters OF Mono lake.
Mr.. Ruddy located a mill site on the
shore of the lake as well as locating
Black Island Associated with Mr.
Ruddy is c. T. A. Peck. who at pres
ent is operating a plant at Owens
Lake i'll lnyo County. Mr.. Ruddy
also owns an interest i'll the latter
plant.
1t is the intention OF Mr.. Ruddy to
erect his plant as soon as climatic
conditions will permit so that the
operation OF recovering the gold by
the secret process OF Mr.. Peck may
be begun. II is Mr.. Ruddy's belief
that Mono lake is richer in gold and
platinum than Owens lake, and he
states that tests already made have
netted very neat return.
Mr. Rudy has filed the necessary
maps for a towhsite to be located at
Warfqrds springs on the eastern side
of the lake

CHEAPER RATES
ON CARBOLIME

For more than year past the Pub
lie Service Commission OF Nevada has
been endeavoring to secure the publ
cation OF rates on Carbolime, icrtil-
izcr produced in Nevada. which would
enable the producers to market their
products in California. the point OF
consumption. Heretofore the rates in
effect on the Southern Pacific Com
pany railroad have been such as to
be prohibitive for shipments of this
material but through the efforts OF the
Commission the railroad has arranged
to publish and make effective on
statutory notice the following reduced
rates:

Alfalfa Cost on Six Ranches

For purpose of securing some def
mite figures on the various items en-
fering into the cost of producing al
alfalfa grower on the project stated he
with six alfalfa growers in different
parts OF the project, who agreed to
keep careful account OF the various
items OF expense entering into the
cost of producing their 1921 crop OF
alfalfa. This data was secured and
worked up with considerable care, and
has proved to be very interesting.
1t is hoped to gather similar data
for the 1922 crop. Alter few sea-
sons accumulations OF production costs
OF alfalfa hay on the project, we should
at least be able to see whether our
system of prodution and marketing
is established on sound financial
basis.
Previous to war prices an extensive
tensive alfalfa grower on the pro-
would be willing to contract his out
put OF alfalfa hay for a number Of
years for SIS ton in the stack. At
this time that was generally considered
fair price. The various cost items
entering into the production of alfalfa
production was not very different then
from what it is now 1t is very evil
dent that this alfalfa grower was very
ignorant of the cost OF producing his
crop.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1922-05-06
Should Know Cost of Production

1t is not always easy to predict in
advance each year just what will be
the exact cost OF farm products. but
from close observation of previous
seasons operations with the same
crops, the producer should be en-
abled to closely approximate the cost
Of producing any particular crop,
Unfortunately many alfalfa growers
feel obliged under stringent circum-
stances to sell his years crop for
whatever he is offered regardless OF
whether or not he is making a net
profit This system tends, OF course,
to lower the market on such COM
moditics.
There is little doubt but that il
the producer had actual figures to
show that a net loss was sustained
by his years operations he would have
gumption enough to change his crop
ping season or seek a more advan-
tageous market.

I, up as collateral at the bank for fair
amount. As you know tho dividend has bcc r
cut from to per cont Would you advise
making a change To anything "lsc7 Also
what do YOU think OF Great NortlNrn ore
Certificates? Would change To that bo
advisable? DO you think tho s. dividend
in 1t is secure = 7. {.
Answcr-As we have told numerous
holders Of Northern Pacific stock since
the dividend rate was reduced, VIC think
the stock is more secure as q dividend
payer now than it was when the rate
was 7 per cent. We see no reason for
a change unless you believe that 1872
shares Of the stock constitutes too
great part of your investments as u
whole. You should not carry all your
eggs in one basket. If you decide to
make change and do not want to go
in for bonds we would suggest Pcre
Marquette prior preference stock, pay

Not Suitable for Woman

oucstion-Would you kindly give TO me
your advice rs to whether tho following
bonds are safe Investment, non C ALA bl .

cent series A. due 1861; Denver 4 RIO
Grande per cent duo 1855; New York;,
SusQuchanna & Western per cent duo
1897. As daily reader I would greatly
appreciate II II YOU would quote 4 few
low priced. non.callablc first mortgage
bonds either railroad or Industrial, as an
investment A. p. II.
Answer-None of the bonds you men
ton can be considered suitable invest
ments for woman. and we do not be-
heve they are the kind of security that
many business men would be willing
to purchase and worry about. In com
plying with your request for bond sug-
gestions. we would make n wide detour
around the class Of bonds in your Sc
lection. Our suggestions are United
States Rubber 5s. 1947, yielding ap-
proximately 5a4 per cent; Public Serv-
zee Corporation Of New Jersey 5s. 1859,
yielding approximately per cent;
Bush Terminal Buildings 5s, 1860,
yielding SO per cent; Virginian Rail
way 5s, 1862. yielding sd per cent.
These selections would be less difficult
II you would realize that many deben-
ture bonds are better than some first
mortgage bonds.

Durant company, The terms are $50 cash,
balance In equal monthly payments OF $50
on twenty shares. They do not sell this
stock on the cash basis. and the purchaa aers
agree TO hold Same one year after delivery
makes the proposition appear rather un-
usual. and would be pleased 10 receive an
expression from You on tho matter OF the
purchase Of two lots OF twenty shares each.
They only allow twenty shares to one per

This seems unusual proceeding, to offer
stock to the public az lower price thnn

tion and advicc.--C. s.
Answer When this offer of the
Durant Motor Company was first made
the market price was about the same
as the subscription price. This is the
kind of security that one should watch
closely, not only macketwise, but as to
developments bearing on the value Of
the stock. No dividends have been
paid as yet. The disadvantage OF buy
ing on this instamcnt' plan is that
your hands are tied for long period
as far as marketing your stock is con
cerned. Thus, should something de

which the current market price of the
stock refccts-you might have to
stand by and watch developments with

Answer-We think YOU understand
that Liberty bonds and state and mu-
nicipa issues Of good grade arc the
soundest kind of securities that you
could possess. and that in exchanging
any Of them for something of higher
yield you would be sacrificing safety to
some extent. We believe In govern
ment and municipal bonds even for in
vestors who do not need any great
amount Of tax exemption. However. you
already have among your corporate Sc
ourtics 50 many bonds that are either
in or near the giltLedge class that we
think you can afford to reach for
slightly higher income on come Of your
low w-yielding bonds. Before making
your suggestions along Jhis line we
wish TO call your attention to the
American Telephone IS, 1925. These
are good bonds, and it is desirable to
hold some short-term securities in a
list as large a yours. But the present
