new Mill SOON
TO Be STARTED

Frank C Everett, president and
general manager of the Carson Gold
Mining Company, returned last Sat
urday from San Francisco, where
he spent several weeks on business
for his company. He expects to have
things in shape at the property to
commence milling ore within very
short time, having overcome many
perplexing and unexpected obstacles
thrown in his path. Considerable ore
has been blocked out at the mine that
assays on an average of $3.50 per
ton and this will be the first ore to be
milled.
Among some of the obstacles that
Mr.. Everett has been forced to COM
bat, was to secure permission to
build wagon roads over Indian land.
At first 1t seemed that one of his
mining properties was located on In
dian land, but through search OF
records and maps 1t appears that the
mine is on an eighty acre tract OIL
land that was held in private own
ership before the Indian land was
surveyed and allotted. This is property
that is being developed in connection
with the willard Mcdonald mine, the
latter not being involved

CARSON VALLEY GRAIN MEN
GET THRESHING UNDER WAY

Threshing of the Carson Valley
grain crop started this week and VIII
be in full swing in all parts OF the
county within the next few days.
Farmers who have completed thresh-
ing report the yield to be satisfac-
cory and of excellent quality, owing
to the extremely favorable weather
for grain that prevailed during the
growing season.
Threshing in Carson Valley is car
ried on in much different method
than was in vogue a few years ago,
when two or three big outfits hand
led all of the grain crop. Dozens
of small outfits are now owned jointly
by neighboring farmers and in this
manner the crop is threshed in
much shorter time.
The electrical storm Tuesday after
noon held up threshing for day, but
| the rain did no great damage to
either hay or grain crops.

WESTERN TARIFF
CONGRESS CALLED

The movement of Western produc-
ers, aided by bankers. Chambers of
Commerce and other Civic bodies in
an effort to take the tariff out of
partisan politics and secure the adop-
tion of a permanent tariff policy suit
ed to the needs of the West, took
definite form today when Governor
Sweet of Colorado and other Western
governors joined with the producers
in a call for a Western Tariff Con-
gress. The Congress will be held in
Denver early in October, the exact
time to be announced at an early
date.
The officers of the Congress are
E. NJ. Ammons, former governor Of
| Colorado, Chairman, Frank J. Ha-
gendarth of Salt Lake City, chairman
of the organization committee and j..
A. Arnold of Ft. Worth, Texas, active
head of the Southern Tariff Associa-
tion Manager.
The movement is declared to be
strictly non-partisan with the pri-
mary purpose of taking the tariff out
of partisan politics, creating med
ium for the discussion of the tariff
and other economic issues which
may affect the welfare OF Westerin
producers and to assist in maintain
ing the present tariff upon Western
products.
at is to be Congress in which
free traders, tariff-for revenue, COM
petitive tariff and protective tariff
advocates can participate without sur
rendering their views" former Gov
ernor Ammons stated in explaining
the purpose of the Congress. IRE.
gardless of our convictions on tariff
lpolicies of government, We can surely
all agree that the tariff should be
treated as an economic issue; thai
the farmers of the West are entitled
to the same treatment as the manu-
facturers of the East; that the mer
who toll upon the farms, in the
mines and factories of this countr,
Ishould not be brought into des.ruct
live competition with the pauper labol
of foreign countries and that thu
rates on our Western products il
, the present tariff act should be sivel
} fair trial before making any reduc

"The Congress will afford non

new HAY LOADER
DOES GOOD WORK

The shortage of labor during the
past two or three years has caused
farmers to look more and more to
labor-saving machinery and this sum-
mer more equipment has been used In
Carson Valley than ever before.
Besides the side-deliyery rake and
the automatic buncher, three types
of hay leaders are being used with
more or less success. or the three
the rear delivery loader is less sue
cessful in the handling of alfalfa hay.
However. two farmers at Lovelock
took a Deere rear delivery loader and
converted II into a side delivery ma
chine by the invention of an attach
ment and one of the machines has
been used at the George Hnssman
ranch this summer with great sue
cess The Deere loader is attached
10 an elevated platform on which
is draper running at right angles.
The, hay is carried to this platform
where a man is stationed in a
"crow's nest. As the hay drops
from the draper to the wagon he
guides the punches and distributes
them to different parts OF the wagon
and in this manner load OF better
than a ton is handled. The wagon is
divided into two sections. The wa
gon man has nothing to do but drive
the team and keep his wagon beneath
the draper of the loader. High RACKS
ara built onto the wagons and nay
nets are used to unload the nay
which Is done in two operations
With a crew of eight men, between
6fty and seventy loads are handled
and stacked in one day, and Mr.
Uussman declares that the new out
] fiji has greatly reduced the cost o
handling hay and has also solved th'
labor shortage to a great extent.
The side delivery hay loader nov
being used at the Hussman ranch Il
operated with two horses and ha
several novel features. In order tha
the burrows In the alfalfa field viii
not interfere with the smooth opera
tion of the loader, two sets of wheel
set about six inches apart are used
The front end of the machine rest
ON two large wheels and through tn
use of goose-neck frame, tn
machine can be turned in its owl
length. making possible the pickin
IN OF hay in corners of fields. Th
attachment was invented by Stocke
and Taylor, two well known farmer
of the Lovelock Valley, and sell
for about six hundred dollars, eS
elusive of the cost of the Deer
rear-end loader.
The Dangberg Land and Livestoc
company has just added two OF .hes
machines to their haying equipmer
an many other Carson Valley fsrn
ers who have viewed the Hussma
machine in operation have declare
that they will use this type of mi
chine next season.

JURY SAYS DEATH
Was BY SUICIDE

At Jackson, Cal, a few days ago, a
coroner's jury arrived at verdict
tht d. r. Armanasco came to his
death at Twin Lakes from a gunshot
wound self-inficted, thus lifting the
shroud of mystery supposed to sur
round the death of the man as re-
ported in the Record-Courier last
week.
The hearing at Jackson was prob
ably the first of it's kind ever held
in the state of California, district at
torneys and sheriffs of three coun-
ties taking part in the investigation.
The act was committed in Alpine
county and the man died after he
had been taken to Jackson for med
ical treatment His home was in
Placerville and for that reason, the
officers of the three counties were
more or less interested in the case,
and o. X. Graw. district attorney OF
Alpine, Abe Darlington, district at
torney of Ell Dorado and f. G. Ned
rick, district attorney of Amador
carried on the investigation.
| 1t appears that ID. r. Armanasco
left Placerville and went to Twin
Lakes to find his wife. He stopped
in Gardnerville on his way and learn
ed that a former husband of his wife
a man named Kline, was also al
the Lakes. Arriving there he met his
wife, and she, fearing trouble, left i'm
mediately for Oroville, Cal, giving
her address to the office before leav-
ing. After she had left, ArmanascC
secured a rifle and went a short dis
tance from the camp and fired Q
bullet into his body, which resulted in
his death.
These facts were brought out at the
hearing and were substantiated by the
] testimony of the woman's daughter
The tragedy was the result of q
love triangle and while at first moro
or less mystery seemed involved In
Armanasco's death, murder even be
ing limited, the investigation, car
ried on at Jackson by the coroner
proved conclusively that the wife hat
left the camp before the shootins
took place.
The residents of Alpine county, whit
have long prided themselves as be
ing law-abiding citizens, were greatly
relieved at the verdict rendered il
this case. They greatly disliked thu
thought Of a murder taking place il
their county and also the expeas'
, that they would have been forced l.
shoulder in that event

that the live boys who completed the work
in the Agricultural Department of the high
school last year, have each undertaken the
production of a small crop of their own.
William Chambers has promising crop OF
beans. After harvesting and threshing he
will sell his crop to a local store. John
Frevert, Edward Anderson, Arthur Settel-
meyer and Milton Sorensen, each has patch
of potatoes. Upon recommendation of the
University of Nevada, these boys sent to
Reno and purchased excellent certified and
guaranteed seed of the Melted Gem variety
These fields have proven to be free from
disease, and the seed will be excellent for
planting another year. Those desiring some
good seed should make reservation early
from any one of the boys.
AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING
Several minor improvements are being
made at the high school building during the
summer vacation. The exterior of the
building is receiving several coats of paint.
The new color, rich terra Gotta, greatly
improves the appearance of the building.
The installation of an oil-burner in the
furnace is almost completed. The original
plans of the building called for an oil-burner,
and its installation had been talked of many
times; however, it is only recently that the
need has been found almost imperative and
funds made available. Considerable saving
of both fuel and labor will result.
The Home Economics department will be
equipped with new lockers which will add to
the attractiveness of the kitchen. The sew
ing and dining room has new floor and the
walls and woodwork are being redecorated.
A new twenty-four volume set of New
International Encyclopedias has been re-
Eceived, and will be added to the reference
shelves of the library.
/ Those who are interested in commercial
work will be anxious to TRIP out the new
typewriters which have replaced the four
J old machines.
