WATER SHORTAGE
AT FERNLEY, NEVADA

The acuteness of the water short
age is attracting the attention of all
sections of Western Nvada, and the
fear of an epidmic is rapidly gain
ing ground.
In Fernley section, the residents
are preturbed over the proposition
of securing proper drinking water.
The low level of the river stagnates
the water to a considerable extent,
and does not give the proper oppor-
tunity for the impurities that are
gathered along the way to be thrown
off.

carried when they fitted for warmer
climes last autumn. Ivan Stefanoff,
school teacher of a nearby village,
wrote a message in French reading
Greetings from wronged and unhap-

the wing of swallow that nested In

returned recently he noticed one had a
wrapping on its leg and capturing 1t
he found the following written in Eng
lish: "Good times will come for us,
the wronged and ill-treated of the city
of Melani, India, Feb. 49,"
Another experlmenter received
more romantic reply to a message sim
ilarly dispatched. He is an official in
Haskovo and his swallow brought him
the following from Medina, Arabia:

MEAT PRICE SCARS

The consumers will now begin to
pass the hat and pay the farmers the
extra $1,000,000,000 which it is said
the farmers are to receive for crops
at the higher prices.
Meat dealers report that prices at
wholesale are going up by leaps and
bounds, in line with the terrific adj
vance of the last few days in the hog
market. Hogs which sold at 81 20
$3.50 a few days ago are now selling
at $40 to 5000, due to the active
shipping demand for foreign mar
kets. This is an advance of approx
mately one-third.
The new wholesale prices show an
advance of Az cents in lard, rise in
bacon and ham of 31a cents a pound
and a rise in pork loins of a cents.

ORE SMUGGLING is
VIRTUALLY STOPPED
Buyers Must Try to Learn
Source of Metal.

Denver.-The game of "highgrad-
ing" which has been an annoyance to
the mining Of precious metals through
out the world, has been virtually
stopped in Colorado mining camps
during the last nine years as a result
of the efforts of special agents work
ing under the direction of the secre-
tary of state in enforcing the Ore
Buyers act passed by the Colorado
assembly in 1915.
The term "highgrading" came from
the practice originating in the theft
and sale of high-grade metal ores by
miners and the subsequent conversion
Of the ores into gold and silver bull
lion for sale to the United States
mines. Colorado mine owners had
tried in every conceivable way to put
a stop to the practice, but apparently
without success, according to their re-
ports to the authorities.
Change Rooms Installed.
Some mines operating with extreme
ly valuable veins installed change
rooms" where workmen were required
to change clothing on entering and
leaving the mine, but even this scheme
was said not to have been entirely
effective as the certain small percent
age of dishonest miners managed to
find some way to smuggle ore outside.
The Ore Buyers act, passed after
a bitter struggle between the Mine
Owners association and alleged "high-
grading" interests, provides that buy
ers of precious metals must be IL
censed by the state and must post a
bond Of $1,000 for the faithful OBJ
servance of the act. The law requires
such a buyer to make a diligent effort
to learn where the vendor acquired
his ore and with what authority he Is
selling it.
Penalty for FaIsifylns.
Giving false information to buyer
is made a punishable offense. In this
way the special agents have been able
to check the activities Of unauthor'
lied sellers. The virtual bottling up
of the Illicit market is said to have
had the effect Of stopping almost en-
tirely the surreptitious removal of ore,
Since the law was adopted the mum.
Der Of licensed ore buyers in the state
has decreased from 80 to Z.
Definite enforcement of the statute
dates from 1917, when eight of twelve
alleged "highgraders" were giyer
prison sentences of two, years each
At the trial more than a score of min.
ers testified that they had sold ores
to the accused men.
The successful operation of the
Colorado law has brought about the
passage of similar laws In other west
ern states
