Romance Seen In Gold Rush

Boys Find Pay Dirt at Weepah in Time to Save Family Fortune. Tonopah, Nev.—ls the sun. that shone upon the waste lands of Nevada last summer bad been less Intense, the world would not have had to wait until March 2 of this year to learn about the gold strike at VVeepah. For the discovery credited to Frank Hortou, Jr, and Leonard Traynor was actually made last summer. The story of the strike has the elements of romance and today Weepah Is a carop of prospectors, fortune hunters and sightseers who use automobiles Instead of pack mules and are building a new gold town. Hortons’ father Is owner of the Electric Gold mines and the nineteen-year-old lad was exploring its property when he picked up a piece of rich “float" flecked with small particles of free gold. Frank Horton's pulse beat rapidly. With a hazy idea of locating a rich gold seam such as the one that made Goldfield famous 25 years ago. he began covering the ground carefully. As he worked, however, the sun beat down upon him as only a desert sun can. The Intense neat squelched his ambition for the time being and young Horton went on his way resolving to return when the weather was cooler. » ' . The Horton family consists of Frank Horton. Sr.; Mrs. Horton. Frank. Jr, a sister and twin baby brothers. The babies furnished Frank, Jr, the incentive to return once more to Weepah He wanted to make a stake for the babies. Leonard Traynor, another nineteen-year-old lad. joined Horton, and the two boys set out for the hills from Tonopah. Two Boy Prospectors. On the morning of March 2. after they had eaten their last rations, the boys returned to the spot where the gold float had been picked up the summer before. A badger hole on the ground at that time showed that goldbearing rock was jnst below the surface. It panned well and the boys began digging the little cut that has caused so much excitement since that time. In a few hours a trench had been dug into the hillside and two sacks of ore had been taken out. The ore had flecks of gold running through it and when crushed yielded a long string of yellow gold In the pan. But the boys were too excited to tarry longer. In a .short time they had staked some claims tn their mothers' names close to the Electric Gold ground and left tn a cloud of dust for Tonopah. In Tonopah they Created a genuine sensation by handing out several thousand dollars’ worth of ore as samples. Mining men made offers running Into thousands of dollars for the right of being told the district tn which the gold was first found. Prospectors who happened to be In the town of Tonopah that night hurriedly threw their packs together and waited for the news to break. Keeping the Secret. For two days the boys remained silent. The strike was on the ground belonging to Horton's father and they wanted to keep the location secret until he could return. It «o happened that in the days of Goldfield Mr. Horton had made nearly $1,000,060, which had been spent In water projects In the vicinity of Oakland and in the Southern oil fields. For years Frank Hortou. Sr., had been working the Gold Electric, developing ore. but after reaching the stage where 1t would make a paying proposition he was unable to Interest further capital. The ground at the time of the gold discovery! was under option to ahother company for money due, putting young Hortou tn the same position as little Nell when the villain was ready to take up the mortgage on the old homestead. Horton. Sr, had borrowed funds a few days before to take care of his family for a short time while be made one last desperate trip to lx>s Angeles, hoping to raise money enough to keep the wolf away from the door of bis home and of his comonny. It was then that Frank Horton. Jr, and Leonard Traynor found rich gold bearing rock The name of Horton was saved.

MARKED CHANGE IN FARM TENURE IN FIVE-YEAR PERIOD

- W Moro Tenant Farmers and Fewer Farm Owners, According to Department of Agriculture. Washington.—Marked readjustments In farm ownership and tenant farming In the United States between 1920 and - 1925 are shown in an analysis by the bureau of agricultural economics. United Staten Department of Agriculture. * The bureau reports that there were T T 24 more tenant fanners in 1925 than tn 1920. and 56.756 fewer firm owners. The net change, says the bureau, is not startling, but the picture to detail “is not at all reassuring." rarin owners bare increased In the Kew England. Middle Atlantic, and Pacific groups of states and decreased In ail other groups, the larger decreases being In the wesi north central, east south central, and west south central areas.

It Is tn a country where roads can be better classified as trails off the highways. Traffic, road and rail, goes to Tonopah first; that is an established town capable of taking care of the influx of fortune hunters and sightseers. Then it pours into Weepah. For that reason those who make money at their business or trade and those who have ground near the strike are the only ones who are living in Weepah. although a number pitch camps there nightly while on the road. The town is a squalid little camp■ at the base of a low bill spreading out onto the flaL No townsite has been staked out yet. and the inhabitants have picked out their locations for their homes by using the squat-, ter's rights. Most of the inhabitants sleep in tents ranging from the small one-man dog tent to the large and spacious dwelling (20 by 10 feet) of the cook shack, store or club room. Scattered among these outfits are the brown homes of the regular tourist or city earnper, whose tents are always newer and contain many ftiore conveniences than do those belonging to the prospector. Four frame dwellings were already on hand at the camp, which belonged to the Gold Electric Mines company. Since the camp started the majority of dwellings have been tents. During the last week or so there has been an Influx of building supplies, as all the available trucks in Tonopah were brought into service, and now the frame buildings are becoming more numerous. These buildings spring up in but a few hours after the supplies arrive in camp. Fast Work. One of the best examples of such work is the Weepah club, where “Hard Rock Jack" jovially greets all comers. It is a flat-roofed structure with a canvas sign bearing the words “Eats and Drinks." The material for this place was brought into camp at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. By six o'clock there were three poker games going full blast, and another famous old character of the camps, “Smiling Jack." was standing behind a short Improvised bar ready to dispense cigarettes or liquid refreshments. Pouring In and out about the tables and counters is a • steady stream of prospectors, miners, brokers, sightseers and newspaper men. The speech is rough, but the men are happy. There is always a good group hanging around Frank Horton, Sr, when tie is in Weepah, and he is accepted as being the father of the camp; for it is he who has been trying to “sell” that particular section of the country for a long time. Having won and lost one big fortune he handles his work now with admirable capability. The sudden visions of wealth and the immense quantities of mail offering him help do not bother him tn the.least. He is always the same jovial man each day Each day Horton takes a trip out to the camp to see that everything runs smoothly there. He listens to the fickle praise of those who come to Weepah. and attends to his duties on

kvueu yvu “Huck" and "Tom” getting readv to co fisiiin'. you may sure that spring has arrived.

I Tenant fanners have increased tn the west north central, west south central, and mountain states, and decreased to all other areas. The Increase in tenant farming baa been especially notable to the newly developed cotton areas to the Southwest. An analysis of the various tendencies appears to indicate that the increase to owner farmers has occurred mainly to regions sufficiently close to cities or to mining and other industrial enterprises to create a demand for farm homes supported largely by wages earned in nonagricultural industries. In regions mainly dependent on agriculture the agricultural depression appears to have resulted to a relative increase In tenantcy. Full details of the bureau's analysis have been published in a mimeographed report entitled ‘-Changes to the Tenure of Farm Land. 1920-1925," copies of which may be obtained from

Recipe Found for Spain’s “Lost Bread” Malaga, Spain.—Spain’s “lost bread” has been discovered in the recipes of an old monastery and now is all the rage as a table delicacy. It is a sort of fritter with a cinnamon flavor. The recipe is: Cut ordinary white bread into Angers and pour over them the yolk of one egg beaten up in a glass of Malaga wine. Dip the soaked strips In beaten egg and fry to a golden brown in deep tailing lard. Drain well and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

the ground until early evening. Back in Tonopah at night he smilingly rejects more offers to help him, and at the same time listens gravely to the plans of others who are eager to show him how he can make a fortune. Young Horton and Leonard Traynor do not say much. They answer all questions as courteously as possible, and then return to their prospector friends to do their talking. Thirteen Sacks of Ore. Up on the side of the hill where the cut has exposed the gold ore are 13 sacks of ore. They weigh approximately 80 pounds each and have an estimated value of somewhere between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO. according to the elder Horton. These are left for public inspection each day, and at night they are placed in the cut once more, covered with an qld wagon top and guarded by a man who sleeps there. No work is being done on the pocket or vein of ore for two reasons. One is that there is a possibility of its petering out, and the other is that people are looking at it most of the time. Although there Is no established law in the camp at Weepah, there is a very trustful attitude among the residents there. Stories concerning claim junipers are sent out occasionally, but such cases are few and far between. The average man who has lived in the desert for any length of time realizes the value of helping rather than hurting the other fellow, and he lives by that rule. His tent is always open to any one who may need it or anything in it. Whether or not Weepah will prove to be a camp great enough to produce millionaires in the same manner that Tonopah. Goldfield. Virginia City and other famous Nevada towns did is at Ulis stage of the game problematical. Until enough" work can be done in the field to prove that the district is a really rich one there is always the doubt that it may be just a “flivver."

Increase Potato Yield Per Acre Farmers Do Not Make Efficient Use of Knowledge in Growing Spuds. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Last fall a firm of California’s potato growers harvested an average of 1.000 bushels of potatoes per acre from nine acres. The rest of the country. if previous production records are a reliable index, harvested approximately 113 bushels to the acre. Farmers in Great Britain have been producing an average of 200 bushels per acre for a number of years. It ‘t evident. says William Stuart, potato specialist of the United States Department.of Agriculture, that the genera) run of farmers who grow potatoes in the United States do not make efficient use of the available knowledge on increasing acre Cause of Low Yield. Os the many factors causing a low average potato yield in this <x>untry, poor seed is one of the most Important. says Mr. Stuart. The American potato grower, generally speaking, pays too little attention to the quality and quantity of the seed used. The California record was due in part to the use of 40 bushels of seed per acre, almost twice the quantity generally used even by the most progressive growers. ' Perhaps the best way for the average grower to be assured of good seed is to purchase “certified seed.” Certified seed is being produced by groups of growers in twenty or more states, who give special attention to the production of seed that will pass state inspection as to yielding ability, uniformity. trueness to name, and freedom from disease. Improved Seed. There is abundant evidence that certified seed is improved seed, and that it will yield much more than common or “grocery store” seed. For instance, the average yield in Michigan last year was 122 bushels per acre, while the average production from certified seed was 256 bushels per acre. This represents a gain of 134 bushels <>u each acre plamed with certified seed. In comparative tests made last year by the Tennessee state experiment station certified seed produced an average of’ 183 bushels to the acre, while the yield from uncertified seed was but 102 bushels per acre. Sweet Clover Excellent as a Cow-Pasture Crop Sweet clover hay ‘is a satisfactory substitute for alfalfa in the ration of the dairy cow. If it is well cured and not too coarse, it supplies nutrients quite similar to alfalfa in quality and quantity. It Is not so palatable a dairy feed as is alfalfa and because it, is somewhat coarse and stemmy, the high-producing milch cow should not be required to clean up all that she Is fed. In localities where both legumes can be grown successfully the usual practice of dairymen is that of relying upon the alfalfa crop foY hay and upon sweet clover for pasture. With a few exceptions, sweet clover seems to give excellent results as a pasture crop. Several experiment stations report no ill effects on dairy cattle when pastured on sweet clover. Furthermore, these reports show that milk flow was maintained satisfactorily and no complaints were received reporting the odor or flavor of the milk as being disagreeable. Occasionally the loss of a cow from bloat is reported when sweet clover is pastured. Unless the crop is pastured closely the growth will become rank, coarse, and unpalatable.

Soy Beans One of Easy Crops to Grow on Farm Soy beans will grow on all kinds of soils. Soy bean hay Is more nutritious than cowpea hay and stock like It better. As a milk-and-butter producer, they are equal to alfalfa and superb*to cottonseed meal. A bushel of soy bears Is worth more for feed than two bushels of corn. They can be hogged down without any harvesting expense. When cut at the proper stage of growth, the hay is equal to alfalfa for dairy cattle. Drought and excessive rainfall affect them less than cowpeas. It Is one of the easiest crops to grow and harvest. They make a fine hay pasture. They can be grown with cowpeas to bold the pea vines off the ground, and will improve the quality of the hay and make it easier to eure. They increase the yield of the following crop. They make a rich and nutritious hay and one of the cheapest. One can always find ready sale for both beans and hay. They are one of the most economical of soil improvers. They require no fertilizers except acid phosphate. Plant more soy beans.
