Investigating Power
Quin River farmers are investigating
the feasibility of installing hydro elec
tric plants on several of the small
creeks in that section of Nevada. The
power generated is to be applied to
pumping for irrigation purposes.
A recent bulletin issued by the Unit
ed States geological survey states that
owing to unfavorable market conditions
that the metal production from this
state for the year of 1921 will be ma
terially reduced. The total output for
the year 1920 was $23,878,512, of which
$12,008,879 was in gold and silver.
The bullet hi states that owing to the
strike conditions in Tonopah and Di
vide that the precious metal production
will be considerably decreased from
that of last year.
There was a decrease of approxi
mately $1,000,000 in gold production
from 1919 to 1920 and this will show
even a greater decrease this year.
Copper production" for this year' will
be at the lowest point in a number of
years owing to the closing of practic
ally all of the mines and smelters.
The low price of lead has closed
practically all of the large producers of
the state, while zinc is in the same
condition. Some lead is being produc
ed in the Pioihe district and a number
of ttie silver-lead 'districts are operat
ing.
By United Press
SEATTLE, July 15. The bandits
who robbed the bank messenger of $25,
000 and escaped are believed to have
been from Chicago. The police have a
code message which they think was
sent by one of the party, suinmonirg
his pals.
In relation to silver productions the
bulletin states :
"The production of silver in 1920 was
7,745,093 ounces, valued at $8,442,151, an
increase from 6,863,580 ounces in 1919.
The strike at Tonopah and Divide will
certainly reduce the output of silver in
the state for 1921, as the production
was small in May and June. In 1920
Nye county produced 4,903.987 ounces
of silver, most of it from mines at
Tonopah. The Tonopah Divide mine,
in Esmeralda county, was idle early in
the year, as the custom mill at Millers !
was closed on account of the labor
strike. The capacity of the Mexican
mill, -at Virginia City, has been increas
ed so as to' treat more custom ore, as
development continues to open the ore
bodies of the Comstock lode. At
Rochester the Nevada Packard mill
was idle until May, but the Rochester
Nevada silver mill was being operated
with only slight interruptions. In Lin
coln county, which produced 567,678
Lpunces of silver in 1920, ore. shipments
were curtailed during the first half of
1921."

Its High in
Foreign Born White Fanners
The buerau of census at Washington j Others arc credited on the list, but
has compiled a list of the foreign-born
white farmers in the different states of,
the Union.
Nevada, considering her population,
bears a high percentage of foreign-born
white farmers, as the nuibcr is given
at 884.
Many of the southern states have but
a scattering of foreign-born farmers as
such states as South Carolina show but
141, while Georgia has but 328.
Italians lead in this class, as 198 are
credited, while but 45 Irishmen till the
soil. Of Germans, 124 are farmers,
while but one Hollander is credited
with tilling the -soil. France has 49,
Norway is lucky with 13, Sweden 37,
. and' Switzerland 58. .
many feel that there has lieen some
mistake, as. for instance, the crediting
of but one Hollander in the farming
business does not bear out the state
ments made during the war times when
many supposed to be Germans proved
to be Dutch.
