A STATE LABORATORY.

The Reno Journal has this TO
say of Bells Laboratory Bill;
Assemblyman Bell Of Nye county
has a bill before the Legislature
W lich appropriates So O00 for the
establishment of a laboratory at
the State University for assaying
ORES and analyzing minerals free
OF charge to prospectors. That
such a laboratory would be a great
benefit. not only to the prospecto +,
b 1t to the public generally, there
can be little doubt, as it would
determine the character and value
of ores and minerals found in the
State and with which neither the
prospector nor the ordinary assay
er is familiar. Years ago ores
were discovered near the line of
Chuchill and Humboldt counties
which were generally supposed,
from their appear ance to be itch
in copper, but the assayels of that
time were unable to find any of
that metal in them by the ordinary
tests. Subsequently, it was as
certained that the ores contained
nickle, not copper a fact which
would be demonstrated at once
by al alysis. Doubtless there are
other metals, as well as many
minerals, in the mountains and
valleys Of Nevada the character
of which is yet unknown, though
they attract the attention of the
prospector because they are differ
ent from the general formation Of
the country.
The only objection that can be
urged against Mr.. Bells bill is
that it might interfere with the
business of private assayers but
if proper restrictions are placed
on the work to be done at the
University laboratory it will result
beneficially rather than injurious
ly to the ordinary assayer, as it
will certainly be the means of
developing valuable ores and min
erals which are not yet known to
exist in Nevada.
