DEADLY ENEMIES
FAIL To DO BATTLE

The supposition that king snakes
and rattlers are deadly enemies,
was exploded here Tuesday even
ing when specimens of both species
were put together About fifty men,
who had anticipated a fight to
death, were keenly disappointed
when the two reptiles fraternized
and rubbed noses without betray-
ing the slightest sign of enmity.
Some weeks ago a truck driver
captured a king snake and brought
him to Gardnerville. 1t was then
stated that the species had little
difficulty in dispatching a RATHER.
But this is the month of August
and rattlers are supposed to be
blind. However, Robert Maltry,
game warden exploded another snake
theory by declaring he would bring
in RATHER with his eyes wide open,
even though it was August. In the
Horseshoe Bend country he captur-
ed two splendid specimens Of the
rattler species, a male with rattles
and female with eight rattles.
After keeping them in a box for
several days it was finally decided
that were sufficiently trained for
the big fight. In the crowd that had
assembled were a few that at diff
ferent times in their lives had had
occasion to step lively to avoid the
poisonous fangs of a RATHER, were
of the opinion that the rattler
would have the best of the battle.
Others took the stand that the king
snake would crush his opponent to
death with ease, and difference of
opinion makes horse racing and bet
ting. All bets, however, on this bat
tie, were declared off when the rep
tiles refused to go to the mat in a
deadly encounter.

Something to
Think Ab0uf
MANAGING MEMORY

TT is observed that the educated
1 have, as a rule, better memory
than the uneducated. The reason for
this is obvious.
The one class exercises Its capacity
for carrying things In its mind and
thus gives memory strength. endur-
ance and ability to recall events,
names or dates at a moments notice
while the other class permits memory
to become fiabby and Indispensable.
Each Individual has within his or
her brain q certain amount Of reten-
tive power. beyond which he or she
cannot 20 without unusual effort. And
II the effort il not put forth regular
", with persistent determination to
Improve, memory will not Of itself
make notable progress.
There are. 1t is true. native differ
ences Of retentive power.
One child Is from the first capable
Of retaining impressions Of all kinds
more easily than others. A child with
a good natural ear for musical sounds
will be likely to retain sounds and
their SUGGESTIONS better than another
child deficient In this sense endow-
ment, and so It goes through child
hood to old age, with memory playing
fast or loose as II has been taught.

especially In adults who have become

And these usually are the people
who habitually complain.
They have ceased to see the sun
light or to move forward. They sit
dejectedly at the crossroads. while
others pass them and go on their way
rejoicing.
A man or woman Is not better than

BIG POWER PLANT
IN CLARK COUNTY

Ira Mcfarland, former deputy
state engineer. well known through
out Nevada, accompanied by Harry
Van den Heaven, a resident of the
Imperial valley, are spending few
days in Reno in the interest Of a
large project in Clark county which
involves the building of a hydro
electric plant and the irrigation of
1000 acres of land in the vicinity
of Indian Springs, at cost of ap-
proximately 100000.
CONSTRUCTION work on the project
has already started" Mr.. MacFar-
land said this morning. In outlining
his plans for the development in
Clark county, he said:
"Our plans call for the building
Of hydro-electric power plant on
my ranch at Indian Springs, forty
five miles from Las Vegas, which
will develop 5000 horsepower which
will supply power and light to Las
Vegas and the adjacent territory,
much Of which will be used for
pumping purposes from artesian
wells that are now used for irriga-
ton but do not throw sufficient
water.
1.-THE water for our power plant
comes from eleven springs in the
Charleston mountains which will be
brought to one point of contact and
will be stepped down 5000 feet
through three generating units and
finally merged in one pressure line
at Indian Springs, twelve miles from
the source. A sub-sation. for dis
tributing is to be built at Las Vegas,
from which the supply to that town
will be provided, and lines will also
run to the gypsum and borax plants
in that region.
AFTER the water has supplied the
power plant it will be impounded
in large reservoir now under con-
struction and used for the reclaim
ing of 1000 acres of land taken up
under the Pittman act.
1--WE figure it will take from
eighteen months to two years to
complete the project and following
that we contemplate the retaining
Of additional land by a pumping
process but the amount of land to
be reclaimed will depend entirely
upon the water supply and the
heighth Of the lifts which are yet to
be determined"
Mr.. Mcfarland said he had been
experimenting for some years in
growing semi-tropical fruits and
vegetables at Indian Springs basin
and finds it is adaptable to such
cultivation from a standpoint Of
altitude, climate and soil, and also
that large crops can be produced.
Much interest has already been
taken in the starting Of construc-
ton work on the project, he added,
and he is assured there will be no
difficulty in settling up the lands
as soon as the water for irrigation
Is available.

SILVER MEETING
PLANS DISCUSSED

Discussion of the plans for the
coming Pan-American silver confer
ence in Reno, September to 8, in
elusive, to follow the hearing by the
senate commission on gold and sill
yer inquiry, took place yesterday
between the committee selected to
arrange for the gathering and
Senators Oddie and Pittman, chair
man and vice-chairman, respectively,
of the senate commission.
1t was decided hat the program
for both the hearing and confer
ence should be worked out by Sem
ators Oddie and Pittman, and this
will be undertaken next week, upon
the return of both senators from
Elko. Some of the most prominent
metal producers in the Western
hemisphere will attend the meeting,
according to acceptances already
received by Senator Oddie, he told
the committee. The possibility of the
organization of a silver export as
ISOLATION was discussed by Senator
Pittman, who declared such an or
ganization was a necessity if the
silver mines Of the continent were
to be permitted to continue.
The work of the gold and silver
inquiry commission is receiving such
wide attention, nationally and inter-
nationally, Senator Oddie said, that
the opinion is becoming general
among mining men that it will be
one of the most important govern
ment commissions ever created.
While the commission has no author
ity to negotiate with foreign coun-
tries and governments, it is author
lied to negotiate with individuals
and organizations of foreign coun-
tries and governments, and through
influence it is hoped and expected
that steps will be taken by various
foreign countries towards stabilizing
their currencies by the use of more
silver.
Senator Oddie received telegram
from Senator Gooding of Idaho to-
day that the latter would attend the
hearing, with other Idaho mining
men, and also a letter form C. F..
Kelley, president of the. Anaconda
Copper Company, to the effect that
he expects to attend the conference.
at has become necessary to study
the copper, lead and zinc mining in
dustry," Senator Oddie said today,
"silver being a by-product of these
ores. 1t has been necessary to secure
the assistance of technical experts,
and in this connection the commits
sion has just arranged for the SER
vices of Fletcher Hamilton, former
state mineralogist of California

NATRON CUTOFF WORK

San Francisco.-Work on the Ma

President William Sproule of the
Southern Pacific Company.
Mr.. Sproule said that survey
parties had been in the field for
several weeks and contractors had
been asked to submit bids for con-
struction work. He expected con-

alton company for the purpose of
taking over all the mining proper
ties owned or optioned by him in
southeastern Churchill county and

been developed by three shafts,
each 40 feet deep, and a 200-foot
tunnel. The first shaft is on top of
mountain, the second about 1000
feet distant and the third abut $50
feet from the second shaft. In shaft
No. l a nine-foot vein shows $35
ore Just as it breaks, while sorted
ore goes around $50 a ton. About
40 sacks of ore are on the dump,
all mined in development work.
At present the work being per-
formed is the sinking of vertical
shaft, with H. C. Aldridge as SUI
perintendent and Engineer Arentz as
general manager. Superintendent
Aldridge is now working two shifts
and will put on a third as soon as
the work of installing the hoist is
