The patent issued To +. Beriiner Of

seventeen years, is the subject Of much
litigation and newspaper comment
The application was filed June I. 1877.

law allowed two years for the appIi-
cant to reply to adverse action of cx-

applicants to SIX months in place of
two years as heretofore allowed.
The validity of the Rerlincr patent

NEwLANos FOR REFLECTION.

There has been more or less talk
of late to the effect that Congress
man Newlands intended to contest
with Senator Stewart for election to
the Senate. This matter is set at
rest now by an official statement
through the Reno Journal which
says:
The Journal is authorized to say
that Congressman Newlands publicly
declared ON the streets of Reno that
under no circumstances would he
cross swords with Senator Stewart
for the Senatorship and it would be
calamity to the State and the
nation to defeat Senator Stewart at
the present time, as he is recogniz-
ed as leader by the advocates of
bimetalism throughout the coun-
try.
Mr.. Newland's own chances of re-
election are good for he has been a
careful and earnest representative
and has made a particularly good
record for himself during the last
session.

Water Company incorporated Under
the Laws Of Nevada and Getting
Down to Business.

The Lincoln County Water Stor-
age and improvement Company, is
the name Of the new organization
which proposes to reservoir the
water flowing down the upper part
of Condor Canyon and of which re-
cent mention has been made in this
paper.
1t is organized on a capacity of
$25, 100000, dividend into 5000
shares of the par value of $500
each.
OF this amount 1000 shares will be
reserved as treasury stock subject to
such future disposition as the oper-
atoms Of the company justify.
II is believed that the site affords
capacity for water to reclaim at
least 1000 acres of land, and posi-
bly, more. This quality will form
the base of calculations for the pres
ent.
1t is intended to extend the bene-
fits to as many individuals as possi-
BILE, and to that end 40 share sub
scriptions predominant in the call.
The shares will be divided at the
rate of one share to each acre of
land.
The articles of Incorporation now
on file with the County Clerk show
the following subscribers, and the
list is still growing:
Joe. Delmue takes 200 shares in
payment of his land right to the
reservoir site. VIM. Atchison and
Bros take 100 shares. Each of the
following take 40 shares, viz: Geo.
L. Edwards, f. G. Walker, Geo. X.
Riding, Il. r., Phillips, Levi Syphus,
Gus Blaad, John Edwards, A. HI.
Wedge, S. G. Galloway, f. 9. Lee,
Phil Mathews, Hose Edwards, Ed.
Gentry, A. o. Lee, Dan Mathews,
ID. L. Findlay and @. @ Ronnow,
while the 20 share subscribers are
N. j. and Geo. Wadsworth, Lon.
Nelson, and w. II. Edwards.
The whole stock will be subscrib-
ed for from Panaca alone if neces-
sary.
The first list of trustees are Levi.
Syphus, e. r. Phillips, VIM. S.
Atchison, Geo. l.. Edwards, and
Philip. Mathews.
There is some preliminary work
to do but from present appearances
dirt will begin to fly about the LIST.
of October.
The site selected is an ideal one.
1t is at the narrows Immediately
above the house of Joe. Delmue's
Round Valley ranch, and wall
sixty to seventy feet long and thirty
feet long will dam back the water
for two miles in length by about a
mile and half in width.
The enterprise starts out with
every assurance of success and it
promises to do more for the materi-
Il advancement of the county than
the best mine ever found in it.

For County Assessor.

Herman E. Freudenthal announ-
ces himself in this weeks issue of
the Record as a candidate for re-
election to the Office of Assessor.
He makes his announcement sub
ject to the determination of the Sill
yer Party County Convention.
Under the vote cast in this county
in 1896 the Offices of Sheriff and
Assessor will be separated, as many
believe they should always have
been, a separate incumbent for each
will be voted for in November.
Mr.. Prudential has now filed
the office for two terms and has
given very general satisfaction. The
work of this Office embraces a mass
of detail which is surprising to one
who has never given it attention.
The system of checking through
the State Land Office, in order to
insure that every land claimant
shall be listed, is largely response
BILE for it, but Mr.. Prudential has
systematised the work and an inspec-
ton of his books and Office will con-
vince any average man that he
understands his work and that
the best interests of the county
will be subserved by keeping him
at his present post.
We do not know what other pos
sible aspirants there may be for this
office, but feel no hesitancy in say
ing that the present incumbent is
we'll deserving of recognition and of
reelection to it.

Silver Party Delegates

The mass meeting called for last
Saturday evening at the court house
to select three delegates from this
precinct to attend the Silver Party
State Convention which meets at
Reno on Sept. 9Th. was not very
largely attended. II afforded fair
means however for Silver Party i'd
herents to satisfy their preferences.
No particular amount of election
eering has been done hereabouts by
prospective State candidates how
ever, so there were no factions at
work and no particular end to be
attained.
Hon. Geo. S. Sawyer was select
ed chairman, and H. E. Freuden-
thai Secretary of the meeting.
BENZ. Sanders suggested that it
would be well to elect those who
could, or would attend personally,
as it was desirable not to have a
proxy representation.
7. ]. Osborne, A. S. Thompson
and H. E. Prudential were selec :
ed as the delegates.
Mr.. Osborne left on Wednesdays
stage. He will go to California and
will attend the convention on his
way home.
This opens the ball and the next
arrangement will be for county
convention and the election of dele
gates to attend it.

The Mining and Scientific Press
says: James G.. Fair was probably
as good a miner as was ever on the
Comstock. Twenty years ago he
said he had prospected Hale & Nor
cross, and had swept the walls with
broom, yet, afterward, Superin-
tendent Heating struck body of
ore within five feet of one of Fairs
prospecting upraises, from which
ore to the value of over $4,000, 900
was taken. No one is invaluable,
and the men who now scout the idea
of unwatering the Comstock levels
are particularly fallible."
A Kansas farmer who could not
get harvest hands, put this sign on
the fence: "Harvest hands wanted;
