Word was recei’ here yesterday
afternoon that a man answering the
description of Ed Hoyt, who disap

search has been made for several
days, had shown up there, asked for
a drink of water and walked off.
Sheriff Butler was notified and left

Brewery Begins Operation
With Yearly Capacity of
25,000 Barrels
Manufacturing industries are al
ways indicative to a greater or less
degree of the stability of a com
munity and the confidence which men
of means place in their future. The
Robinson district has been fortunate
in securing industries which have
helped its growth, and aided in its de
velopment but there is still room for
more.
This article calls attention to a
manufacturing industry that has
gradually been rounded into shape
with no question as to its success by
the promoters. Home labor has been
used in the construction of the build
ing. Cement blocks made on the
ground form the basis of its walls,
and as near as possible to do so local
men will be employed to turn out its
product. This industry Is the new
brewery, of which E. P. Silber is
president and manager, and which
has been in process of construction
for over a year. Yesterday the first
brew of beer was put through, and
from now on the finest product that
has ever been used in the district
will, according to Mr. Silber, be turn
ed out from this brewery.
A trip through the plant demon
strates to the visitor the care with
which the equipment has been pur
chased, and the up-to-date machinery
that has been installed. Entering
from the lower floor one sees a Cor
less engine which is constantly at
work forcing ammonia through the
pipes that are used for cooling pur
poses and which is also used in the j
manufacture of ice. Up one flight;
of stairs are found the mash tubs j
where the malt is mixed with water, j
the first process in the manufacture
of beer. The water is put into these
tanks at a temperature of about 100
degrees and gradually increased to
143 degrees when the starch in the
malt is converted to sugar. As soon
as this occurs the temperature is
raised to 170 degrees and the malt
and water is boiled between two and
one-half and three hours. The
mixture which is now called wort, is
piped to the brew kettle where the
hops are added. The wort is again
boiled for about three hours when it
is allowed to filter through perfora
tions into a false bottom which the
brew kettle contains. From the brew
kettle it is forced by pumps to the
hop jack and from there to the beer
cooler which is located on the top
floor. The beer cooler is composed
of a section of copper pipes which
are kept ice cold by forcing ammonia
through them, and the wort forced
up onto the top floor. The beer cool
er is composed of a section of copper
pipes which are kept cold by forcing
ammonia through them, and the wort
forced up from the hop jack comes
into a trough at the top of the cooler
boiling hot aud filters through, run
ning over the cooled pipes where it is
reduced to the proper temperature.
The wort is then transferred to the
settling tanks where the yeast is
added, and left to stand for about
twelve hours, or until fermentation
starts. As soon as this occurs it is
transferred to the regular fermenting
tanks, of which there are eleven, with
a capacity of 2,800 gallons each, and
allowed to remain for a period of
from eight to ten days. These tanks
are made of California red wood. The
wort at the end of this fermenting
period is now converted into beer.
From the fermenting tanks the beer
is piped to the storage tanks where
^t is kept between two and three
weeks. These tanks are also made of
California red wood, with a storing
capacity of 7,500 gallons each. There
are six of these large fellows. After
the beer has reached the stage desir
ed by the brewmaster it is trans
ferred to the pressure tanks which
| are guaranteed against a pressure of
thirty pounds. After standing in
these tanks for about two weeks, car
bonic acid gas, which is produced
from the malt and water combination
in the masher, which was spoken of
above, and which is a direct product
of the brew, is added to produce what
is known as life in the beer.
The apparatus used by Mr. Silber
to obtain this result was installed at
a cost of $5,000 and represents the
very latest in brewing science. As
soon as the carbonating process is
finished the beer is ready for the
market, and it is pumped up from
the storage room, into the keg filling
and bottling rooms. Automatic ma
chines are used entirely in this
process. No corks or stoppers of
any kind are used, the barrels being
filled automatically without the air
reaching the beer, which makes it
possible to retain all the carbonate
gas which insures the life in the brew
which every brewmaster desires.
The bottling room also contains
automatic machines, which are used
in the order of socker, washer, filler,
steamer and labeler.
One cannot but be impressed with
the cleanliness of every article which
is used in the manufacture of this
local product, and also with the gen
eral appearance of the plant, and
there is little doubt but that Copper
iking Eager Beer will have a wide and
popular distribution.
The capacity Mr. Silber modestly
placed at 25,000 barrels a year, but
stated that this could be increased
without undue effort to 40,000
should the demand require it. The
plant and machinery represents an in
vestment of $100,000 and a force of
from twenty-five to thirty men will
be employed at all times, meaning
an extra payroll in the district of
from three to four thousand dollars
a month.
NEVADA’S POPULATION.
With the exception of Nevada the
backward movement In population
among the states seems to have
been confined to the decade cover
ing the Civil war, as already in
stanced. Nevada, which will this
year probably exceed in relative
growth any of the 46 states and
two territories, except Oklahoma,
was subjected to a waning move
ment in population in the decade
from 1880 to 1890. A tabulation
of the figures will best tell the
story: In 1860, before Nevada had
even been recognized as # territory,
its population was 6857. This was
due to the bonanza discovery of the
Comstock lode. In March, 1861, Ne
vada territory came into existence
and in October, 1864 it was admitted
to statehood. As a result of the rise
of the Comstock lode. Its population
increased to 42,491 in 1870 and was
still increasing and reached 62,260
in 1880. Then came the waning of
the Comstock lode and the discredit
ing of silver, both of which factors
caused depopulation in Nevada. In
1890 its population was reduced to
45,761 and in 1900 the same in
fluences had caused it to decline still
more to 42,335—making it 156 less
than it was 30 years before.
The decade closing this year has
been, however, a most notable one
in the history of copper mining. In
the progress made by me red metal,
Nevada has conspicuously participat
ed. The opening up and develop
ment of Ely, Yerington, and other
copper camps have given the state a
permanency which it did not rest
upon in the days of silver and gold,
even with the riches of the Com
stock lode. While Goldfield and1
Tonopah remain large gold, silver
and lead producers the production of
copper has reached approximately a
parity in value—notwithstanding its
depressed price—-with gold and sil
ver, and the future indications that
it will outstrip in that state all the
other metals combined.
It is interesting to look over the
records and note the states which
are above the average of 19.8 per
cent for the country at large. Ari
zona-still a territory—shows an
increase over 1900 of 28.2 per cent;
Colorado, 23.4 per cent; Florida,
31.7 per cent; Idaho, 45.2 per cent;
Illinois, 20.6 per cent; New York,
21. per cent; North Dakota, 75.5 per
cent; Oklahoma, 322.1 per cent;
Oregon, 26.6 per cent; Rhode Island,
24 per cent; South Dakota, 26.7 per
cent; Texas, 26.6 per cent; Utah,
23.8 per cent; Washington, 31 per
cent; West Virginia, 20.4 per cent.
Alaska is estimated as having in
creased 49.6 per cent, and Hawaii,
41.5 per cent. To this estimate
should be added the forthcoming
figures of Nevada, which will prob
ably place its inhabitants in excess of
Alaska, with its population of 95,132
but not remove it from the foot of the
list among the states and territories
in point of population.—Gavigan’sFi

AUSTIN MINKS AUK <
RECEIVING SUPPLIES.
In order to expediate the work at
the Ophir shaft, the Austin Manhat
tan company is Installing a complete
sawing plant in the carpenter shop
for sizing timbers, says the Reveille.
The plant will have one 4-foot rip
saw, one 30-lnch cut-off saw and a
20-inch saw for wedges and other
small work. The timbers that are
being aelivered are 10x10, and these
will be sized 8x8 for the Jack Pot
and Ophir shafts. Enough timber
has been collected together to fit the
collar of the Ophir shaft and for two
additional sets, which will be put in
before the timbers arrive that are
now on the road. Two cars of board
lumber and two cars of distillate for
the company arrived this week. The
first consignment of equipment for
the mill arrived this week. It con
sisted of motors, transformers and
other electrical apparatus. The main
4-inch pipe-line from the tunnel is
being carried down to the engine
room, where it will be connected with
the big compressor, which has been
overhauled and reinstated in the
main building. Work is still in pro
gress in connecting up the water
supply with all parts of the buildings
and grounds.

WHICH WILL YOU PLANT?
Cheap trees, grown by unskilled nurserymen, or will you plant Stark Trees, the
best trees that modern nursery science can produce and insure yourself a highly
productive and profitable orchard?
“Stark Trees are the Best Trees Grown”
Is the unanimoui opinion of orchardists in ail part* of the country—the thouiandt of lettera in our file* prove it. Thia year
our stock ii better than ever. Never before in our history of 84 year* have we put in our packing house* such fine treea aa
have come to us this fall from our nine branch plants. These trees are absolutely dependable, quality the very finest; in fact,
we challenge comparison and competition. Stark Trees have been proven and tested for many years by orahardista in all
parts of the West and Southwest and our trade in that wondrous section is increasing each aeason.
Stark Delicious Apple
Brings 50% More Than Grimes or Jonathan
in quality, size and color, Delicious long ago proved itself the queen of dl quality apples. This year hat seen its greatest
triumph, which you will understand by reading this letter.
• H. WOODS CO., Commission Merchants, Chicago.
"Last year we secured one car of Delicious and aold them in Chicago nnd large Eaalern citiea at 401 more than other varietiee we were handling
at that time. We are telling Delicious this year at 501 more than Jonathan. Crimea Golden, Rome Reauty, Alexander, etc. We have lound
Delicious to be just what particular people want in a fine table apple, it being neither too sweet nor too sour, a fine looker, and haa good
keeping qualities. Delicious should head the liat of all fine apples." Rigncd, C. W. Wilmeroth, Treasurer.
Can You Afford to be Without an Apple Making Such a Record?
If you have never seen or tailed this variety, we will gladly gend you a box containing thiee specimens if you will pay the ex
press charges. We make no charge! for the fruit. After you have received the apples, retain the receipt you get from the express
company and we accept it as that much cash on the first order fo' trees you send in. This offer for free specimens is also good
for such of our other leaders as, Staymaii Winesap, Senator, Black Ben, Spitzenburg etc., etc., as long as the supply lasts.
Other Stark Leaders for Western Planters
Besides Delicious, our varieties such as King David, Senator, Stayman Winesap, Black Ben, etc., are making good everywhere
and commanding highest prices. Muir, Lovell, Levy Cling, Crawford, Elberta and Kriimme! peach are extra fine this year—treea
are the finest we have ever seen. In Apricot, guch sort* as Royal, Blenheim and Tilton are extra choice. Bartlett,
Cornice, Easter Beurre pear, etc., are excellent; in fact our whole line of general nursery stock is most complete and unex
celled. The prices are right too. And remember that every Stark Tree has our reputation of 84 yeara behind it.
_. _ From our grtpe nurseries >t Portland, N. Y. (in the very heart of the famous Chautauqua Grape Belt) are simply
