Three men are employed about the Cordova camp during this win ter doing assessment work and some prospecting and will have the camp in readiness in the spring for the summers operations.
 The Cordovado Company this last year completed it's 10 mile hydraulic ditch and used 1t for the first time in their mining operations. The ditch has a carrying capacity of HOO miners inches and from the time that the water was first run thru until the end of the season the mining operations were amply sup piled with water
 Notwithstanding the lateness of the season the company reports very satisfactory mining period. About 20 men were employed dur ing the summer, using a hydraulic elevator to recover the gold.
 Supplies for this camp are freight ed from Deering, a distance of 20 miles, using team of horses own- ed by the company. During the winter months the bulk of supplies are hauled to the camp, for at this time the trail permits heavier loads being carried with less trouble and expense.
 Work this last summer was pros ecuted on No. ? below Pinnell, on the Inmachuk River and this next summer work. will be continued, be- ginning where last summers opera tions ended. This last summer many delays were experienced due to much dead work being necessary to place the mine in shape for oper- ations, however, the coming year will be free from these delays and from all indications the net returns should be most satisfactory.
 Regarding operations being con- ducted by other miners in the Inma- chuk district MT. Hover states that Escholt Brothers and small crew hydraulicked on the river

MUCH RIVER WATER NOW
WASTING NEAR LOVELOCk

Haying in the Lovelock valley is
now in full swing. Most of the
ranches are working with short
handed crews. While the labor
situation is not as difficult as was
at first expected during the early
part of the season, however, there
is work for many more men.
Most of the ranchers are rushing
cutting in order to take advantage
of the vast amount of water flowing
down the Humboldt to waste into
the sink.
The Humboldt river is fuller now
than it has been at any season at
this time of the year for many sea-
sons. From $4,000 to $4,000 inches
of water is flowing down the river
and going to waste into the Hum
boldt sink.
The canal flowing into the Pitt
and Taylor reservoirs is running to
full capacity from $4,000 to 10000
inches and it is expected to refill
the reservoir within the next three
weeks.
1t is predicted by those familiar
with water conditions that there is
sufficient in the Humboldt to ir-
rigate the entire valley for the
second crop without drawing upon
the storage waters in the reservoirs.

HUMBOLDT WATER
RULING is MADE

Judge George A. Bartlett, in a
ruling handed down late Saturday In
the suits contesting the adJudica-
tions of the state engineer in Hum
boldt river water rights, claims the
right to hear and determine all
questions concerning the water
rights of the stream and the state
engineers findings. Objections made
by counsel for some of the water
users as to the jurisdiction of the
court in all matters that might be
questioned, are overruled.
Objections which have not yet
been filed have been set for hearing
at Winnemucca, September 3. 1t is
probable that this date will be
changed. however, as it falls on
Labor Day.
There is much to be considered
in the case before the actual con-
tests of the adjudications are heard.
1t was said that the ruling of
Judge Bartlett on the right to hear
and determine all questions may be
taken to the state supreme court by
counsel for some of the water
inasmuch as some allege
the district courts jurisdiction is
limited.-Gazette.

MEETING OF SILVER
MEN IS IMPORTANT

To draw to Reno notable rep
resentatives from South America,
Mexico and everywhere on the
American continent where interest is
taken in white metal, the approach
ing meeting of the silver men here
looms up as one of the most i'm
portant ever held in Reno, says the
Gazette.
Henry M. Rives, secretary of the
Nevada Mine Operators association,
in a speech which covered the his
tory of the Pittman act, so told the
members of the Kiwanis club at
Gheir regular weekly luncheon at
the Y. M. C. A. building.
A great work in behalf of the
silver producing industry which is
expected to be brought about at
the conference is the formation of
the much discussed silver export
commission, calculated to give
Americans some part in fixing prices
on silver, now done by handful
of brokers in London, the center
from which "the great silver sink"
in Asia is controlled, as Britain con-
trolls the eastern exchanges.
Mr.. Rives said that the mine OPP
orators had not yet given up their
fight to extend 81 silver purchases
by the U. S. mint. He gave various
reasons why he says the govern
ment is still obligated to buy about
$40, 100000 worth of the metal ex-
tending the period over which pur-
chases must be made about three
months.
He also told of readjustments in
the industry whereby the larger
mines, at least, will be kept in oper-
alton.
No definite date has as yet been
fixed for the Reno conference, which
was announced for July or the first
part of August.
DR.. G. S. Steinmiller, delegate to
the recent Kiwanis convention at
Atlanta, gave an interesting &C
count of that meeting, telling of
the high rating nationally of the
Kiwanis. He also described his
visit to other cities, including Wash
ington, D. c., and the Shriners'

100 CYPSIES JAILED AT

AS gypsies apparently speak nc
English of the kind that narrows
down the number of prisoners, the
situation is stationary.
A woman, who was alone in the

she can identify five of them. She
is not certain about the other 95.

PADLOCKED DOORS OF
RENO MAY REOPEN

George Springmeyer, United States
district attorney, is working on a
plan whereby the many stores now
under abatement in Reno may be
opened for legitimate business. 1t
is understood that one of the pro-
visions for reopeneing is that no
soft drink vendors will be allowed
to re-establish themselves in the
places now closed.
Mr.. Springmeyer preached the
suggestion that abatement be lifted
to Judge E. s. harrington of the
United States district court after
several business men had approached
him with the assurance that legiti-
mate business was their object.
Judge Harrington is said to favor
the plan, provided that such as
surances are presented in writing.
