another generation of life to this
great camp. Old Goldfield is grad
ually showing up better and there
may be some better things there. Ely
and White Pine county is coming
right along, and with a better copper
and silver market this state is bound
TO go ahead. Every district in the
state is doing something in a mining
way and while agriculture Is trimmed
down a. bit on account OF water con-
ditions it is not seriously hurt and
will come back to its usual form
another season. In fact | look for
much better conditions over the state
this next twelve months"

New Mining Transfer
Is Made At Goldbasin
Los Angeles Parties Take Over Ground. De-
velopment Plans Are Now
Under Way

Following a thorough inspection
aud investigation of properties at
Goldbasin deal for the Hunt Miller
and the Knight ground went to H. P.
Zumwalt and associates when the
bonds were signed up late last week.
On taking over the ground a new
mining company known as Gold
Basin Consolidated Mining Company
was formed with II. p Zumwalt, r.
P. Boyer and ]. e. Mcdonald as the
incorpOrators. The company has
been incorporated for $1,500,000
with no par value stock. N. 8. Erray
well known western mining man,
is president of the new company, r.
Z. Boyer secretary and treasurer and
James f. Kelby of Los Angeles first
Vice presiednt, with Wayne Young OF
this city as second vice president.
J. c. Phillips and Edward T. Fisk OF
Cineinatti are directors.
Heart of the District
By taking over the Miller-Hunt
ground and the Knight properties
this company together with its other
holdings commands the heart of the
Goldbasin section. The Miller-Hunt
ground is without doubt one of the
most promising gold properties dis
covered in the section of Nevada in
a number of years, as aside from the
high grade gold ore that has been
found and partially developed, a
large vein of milling ore has been
shown throughout the shaft working.
Some time ago some of the same
parties took over the Frank Wilson
ground, and this being the discovery
section 1t has given them command
of the richest section so far uneov-
cred in the mining district.

The purchasing parties before
leaving for Los Angeles stated that
they expected to carry on extensive
development work starting within

Democratic candidate Tor Congress
Tuesday morning, c. l.. Richards,
Democratic congressman from this
state, came into this city to renew
acquaintances and also look over his
political fences, which he found In
very good condition.
In a recent issue or one of the
Reno papers 1t was stated that he
had finished his state primary cam
paign. Mr.. Richards states that this
was a mistake, as he has not made
the west end of the state and that is
what he is here for From here he
will go to Virginia city, Lyon county
and other western sections.
In talking over the situation Con-
gressman Richards states that he
has found encouragements over the
entire state. Il believe that the peo.
pie appreciate the work that | have
done and also the plans that l have
for the future" he said. 1T has
been a pleasure to make another
state round, as everywhere l have
been my friends have been most 10y
al. There is a spirit of fairness found
in this state that is exceptional and
there is no atmosphere anywhere on
earth that is as refreshing politically
or otherwise. The people of this
state have habit of talking as free
ly with & candidate as they do with
q neighbCr, which is something that
ic not found anywhere else in Am
erica
Naturally l believe that have
done my best while In congress and
II is In order to finish out work that
| have in mind and in committees
that l want to go back. The primary
election naturally settles the ques-
tion between my Democratic oppon-
ent and myself and am seeking the
majority of the Democratic votes.
I'm case of nomination I expect to
make q state wide campaign for De-
moeracy and incidentally for myself
as well. 1t is big state to cover
and naturally II was and Is impos
sible to reach every precinct and
voter. As far as can find my friends
are active In my candidacy and
hope to be the Democratic nominee
this fall. which I believe is q right
ambition"
In speaking of state conditions
Mr.. Richards feels that better time:
are ahead. In this respect he said
"Tonopah is In better shape thar
in a number of years. The discover,

DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL

The little twenty ytwo-months-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred kirn
of this valley died at the home ranch
Monday night following an illness of
but few days.
The little girl was not considered
in a serious condition and despite
the work of attending physicians she
passed away. 1t is believed that death
was caused by some stomach trouble.
The funeral will be held this We'd
nesday at the farm home. The SYM
pathy of the many friends over the
valley is extended to the bereaved
parents.

Melon Shipments Heavy
From This Project
Warm Weather Ripens Cantaloupes. First
Shipment Brings Good Prices
Market Good

The peak of the cantaloupe season
will be on during the next ten days.
The past week of warmer weather
has hurried on the ripening and prac-
tically every melon grower on the
project is busy packing and shipping.
The ripening of the melons was
delayed possibly ten days owing to
the cool nights of the fore part of
August. The recent change has been
welcome to the melon producers as
1t is keeping full crews busy on the
farms.
In Excellent Condition
The cantaloupes over this end of
the project are In excellent eondi-
ton az there has been plenty of wat
er for the crop. On practically every
field good settings have been found
and the sugar contents this year will
range high owing TO favorable con
ditions.
Shipped Poor Melons
Some complaint has been received
here from Nevada and local points
of unripe and overripe melons being
placed on the market. which is "a
serious mistake. Melons that had
not received sufficient water have
been sent out from the drouth sec
lions and the Reno commission men
have had hard time explaining con
ditions. With the excellent crop over
the valley 1t is a blunder to send out
anything but the best. as the people
are paying top notch price for this
product.
Good Reports
The Weaver people, who are handl
ing the majority of the crop. have re-
ceived word from the first shipment
to Chicago. The car was disposed of
the latter part of the week and prices
ranged from 1926 for flats in poor
condition to $3.50 for the better
grade. Jumbos brought from 81 to
So per crate and the telegram re-
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-08-27

ceived by Mr.. Badger states that the
car arrived In fair condition while
the flavor is excellent and prices
good. This is encouraging to the
local growers and with the weather
Ia the east favorable there should be
good returns from the melon fields
OF this project.
Shipping Carloads
The Weaver people. who are ship
ping to Chicago In car lots, and from
that point east, are loading from
four TO six cars day. Ii Is expected
that during the next ten days that as
good as six or eight carloads of mel
ons each day will be leaving here.
This does not include the bench or
the Fernley section, where shipments
have been going out for the past two
weeks.
The local commission men and In
dividual growers are busy loading
and shipping Close to carload of
cantaloupes a day are leaving by ex-
press and parcel post. Those who
have established independent trade
are busy Grating and shipping. Many
orders from California in the melon
districts are being filled. which indi-
Gates the superiority of the Nevada
melon over that of the California
project. 1t is one of the few exports
sent to California in competition with
their own grown product
The finishing of the second crop
haying on the project comes in the
right time to allow attention to the
melon shipments. Practically all of
the hay is up and in stack and in
most instances the same farmers are
raising a few acres of melons To fill
in with.
From all indications this will be
the most successful melon year ex-
perienced on the project, as weather
and conditions have been unusually
favorable.

SOME EXCELLENT GRAIN
CROPS THIS YEAR

One look at the storage floor at
the Fallon flour mill will be con-
yincing proof of the grain grown in
this valley, and this is but one place
where grain is now stored. The Con-
solidated Warehouse is holding hun
dreds of tons and so is the Kent
storage plant.
Some exceptional grain crops are
being reported, ranging from close
TO ton to over a ton per acre.
Frank Cushman during the week
brought in a consignment of barley
grown on the home ranch. This bar.
ley cut considerably over a ton to
the acre and is as fine seed as has
been found on the entire project.
Some soft wheat is being brought
is but not near enough to cover the
wants of the local mill and orders.
Hard wheat is found on most of the
places and il seems a certain crop.
Plans for early planting are now un-
der way and ii is believed that there
will be water enough at the dam TO
start the grain. In most instances
farmers are figuring on breaking up
alfalfa land to make room for grain
owing TO the embargo on exports Of
hay. From appearances this valley
will within the next few years take
first rank as a grain growing sec
tion, as practically every district re-
ports excellent results in grain grow
ing
During the week grain buyers
have been in this valley looking for
wheat. 1t is probable that some hard
wheat will be exported while some
soft wheat will have to be imported
as was the case last year.

CATTLE SHIPPED IN
FROM WESTWOOD SECTION

The Red River Lumber Company
last Sunday shipped In 625 head of
cattle to be pastured and fed on the
project. This lot of cattle is to pas
ture at the yeneill farm until later
when they will be moved to hay
which has been purchased at Still
water.
This is the first OF several ship
ments of feeders and dairy stock
that will be on the farms this fall
and winter Cattlemen were hero
during the week looking for both
pasture and hay. 1t is understood
that some hay has moved and that
others are bargaining
There seems to be no hard rule as
( to price as hay In the stack has
brought all the way from s12 to S1i
per ton in the stack, depending on
feeding conditions and pasturage.

chill county students have been as
sisted in a number of instances and

is entitled.
