RICH GOLD STRIKE
MADE NPINE
NUT RANGE
Ne1O District Has Been
Visited by Hundreds OF
Mining Men During
the Past Week

What is said to be rich gold strike
was made in Minnehaha canyon in the
Pine Nut range last week by Johnson
and Morgan of Gold HILL The discov-
erers left the scene of the strike last
Wednesday and the same night gave
out brief announcement at Carson
City and continued to Silver City
where they told their friends of the
find. Before morning a string of auto
mobiles were on the way to the scene
Of the new strike. reports of which
reached Gardnerville but were lacking
details.
Sunday Earl Christensen, F. r.
Howard and Harry Winkelman made
trip Of inspection to the scene of
the reported strike and found that the
district had been visited by many
prominent mining men of Nevada, and
that the entire country adjacent to the
find had been staked. To reach the
district, they proceeded on the Well
ington road to point few miles be-
low the Mountain House, turning to
the left up Minnehaha canyon. Leav-
ing their machine at the end of the
road they proceeded on foot up the
side of the mountain to the shaft
where the ore was found. Mr.. Chris
tensen found no one at the property
but took the liberty to make an in
spection of the ledge which was un-
covered in the bottom Of an eight
foot shaft. A small seam of ore starts
near the surface but In the bottom of
the shaft widens out to a fair sized
ledge.
Conversing with several men in the
district he was unable to ascertain the
values Of the ore as reports differed
greatly and ranged from $24 to $17S
per ton.
The find was made In highly min
eralized zone and the outlook is very
encouraging. The property has al
ready been visited by mining engi-
neers representing Geo. Wingfleld, and
according to one report the owners of
the claim have bonded the property
to e. ]. Roberts of the Vita Grande for
100000, with substantial cash pay
ment, but the report is not verified.
According to one of the nrospectors
holding claims in the new district, not
less than fifteen outfits are expected
to arrive at the scene of the new
strike not later than next week to do
the holding work on their claims.
Otto Muller and Carl Syll of Genoa
have located property in the new min
ing district and are optimistic over
the recent discovery.
From the rush that was made tn the
new find 1t is evident that the mining
men of Nevada are on edge waiting for
new find to be made within the state
and should the discovery in Minneha-
ha canyon be what is claimed for it,
1t may develop into the next boom
camp of this state.

STOCK DIPPING
NEARLY FINISHED

The dipping of livestock in Carson
Valley in accordance with stipulations
of the quarantine order. has been pro-
ceeding with rapidity during the past
week and nearly 10000 head of stock
have been run through the dipping
vats owned by the II. F. Dangberg
Land and Livestock company and To-
Gated near the stock yards below
Minden. The dipping has included all
stock cattle, dairy cows and young
stock, the arrangement for dates and
time Of dipping being regulated by
Harold Hussman, who was placed in
charge of this part of the work.
Through this arrangement it has been
possible to dip on the average of 500
head of stock day.
Since dipping started many new and
novel methods have been devised to
expedite the work, the most interest
ing of which is the ''hot point" an
electrically charged steel rod which
is used to urge balky critters into the
vat of sulphur solution which is heat
ed to a temperature of above 100 de-
grees. Through this little device. the
most obstinate critters do not hesitate
for one second in taking the plunge.
1t is believed that the completion
of the dipping program will come to
an end within the next few days when
all of the stock in this county will
have been treated for the prevention
Of the spread of the scabbies.

The Carson river reached its highest

vast lakes. During the week the water
has receded somewhat and 1t is gen.

made unsafe and continues without in

FAVORABLE CROP CONDITIONS
PREVAIL THROUGHOUT STATE

Warm weather with abundant sum
shine prevailed during the past week.
The temperature averaged about de-
grees above normal. Alfalfa, wheat,
oats, barley and grass are growing
rapidly, due to the favorable weather
for plant development There is plenty
of water for all purposes, as streams
are discharging more than the normal
flow. The Humboldt river is falling
slowly. Range feed Is plentiful, and
stock are gaining. Lambing is COM
pleted In nearly all sections of the
state, and shearing is completed in the
south and making rapid progress in
other districts, reports the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture.
The roundup is completed in the
vicinity of Alamo, and the calf crop is
poor due to the late spring. The
range is in fine shape, but there is too
much water in the valleys. Corn
planting is two weeks late, spring
grain is doing well, and the fruit crop
is about rs per cent of normal. In
the Beatty district, the first cutting of
alfalfa is being harvested, barley is
being cut for hay, and wild hay will be
ready to cut in ten days; the hay
crops are heavy. Streams are high In
central and northern counties, but
plentiful on the range, and cattle and
sheep are in good condition. Shearing
is completed in some localities, while
1t has not started in many districts.
Alfalfa is growing rapidly and cutting
will start In some districts about the
18th. Grain crops are backward but
doing we'll.

DEFEATS RENO
Locals Wins First Game of
The Season-Jepsen
Knocks Ont Home
Run

On the Gardnerville diamond Sunday
afternoon the Carson Valley team de-
feated the Northwestern Athletic Club
nine of Reno by a score OF II to II.
and while the score indicates that
many errors we're made by both teams,
the game was exceedingly exciting and
many good plays we're made.
Mute Christensen, who has been
signed up with the Valley team. oc-
cupied the pitchers box and famed
the first three men up.
Hans Jepsen was the first man up
when Gardnerville went to the bat and
clouted out homer, making tho only
home run of the game.
In the fourth inning Christensen
walked three men and with the bases
full the next Reno man to the bat
knocked out two-bagger and before
three men were out six runs were
scored by the visitors.
At this stage of the game the
chances for the home team were ex-
tremely unfavorable, but by knocking
out series of grounders that got by
the short stop, the local team soon
tied the score and IN the sixth and
eighth inning made ten runs.
The Reno team was composed OF
Moore, Pillizani, Brooks. Wilson, Har-
rison, Kuhn, Childs, Frazini, Webb,
McInnis and Berrasoni.
The home players were A Clock,
Hussman. A. Jensen, Jepsen. J. Clock,
H. Lange, Nelson, Brown. Christensen,
N. Jensen and Stodieck.
Arendt Jensen pitched the 7th inn
ing. while Henry Lange occupied the
box the following inning.
Fred Brenzel acted as umpire and
during the league games that will be
played here will fill the same position
The schedule of games to be played
by the Sagebrush League Of which the
Carson Valley team is a member, have
not yet been fully decided upon. but
the complete schedule will be announc-
ed soon.
Virginia City decided not to enter
the league and the vacancy will be
filled by the Northwestern Athletic
Association Of Reno, who played here

Manager Boone states that his team
will go to Sparks Sunday to play the
first game with the nine of that city.
