ALUMINIUM IN TYPOGRAPHY.
Some Advantages OF the Metal
Plate Over the Cumbersome
stone,

A steady demand for aluminium is
springing up in various kinds of print
ing processes, as we'll as in lithography
When its surface is properly prepared
II is capable Of replacing the ordinary
lithographic stone. The advantage of
having, instead of cumbrous and heavy
stones, which can be printed only on
special slow-running "litho" machines,
thin sheets of metal, which can be bent
into a circular form and printed on ro-
tary presses, is evident. In Germany
five-pound sheets of aluminium are be-
ing used as a substitute for the usual
Solenhofen limestone slabs, weighing
so to 100 pounds. After being polished
with ground pumice, the aluminium
sheets are dried and washed with a
patent acid solution, and after a second
drying are ready for the imprint. The
sheets cost only one-third of the stone;
to correct an error the ink has simply
to be washed out with acid; there is no
liability to fracture under heavy pres
sure; and both space in storage and
labor in handling are saved, The quail
ity of work done on the metal plates is
excellent, and many establishments in
this country are now using aluminium
plates and rotary presses.

Mines Bonded Near Reno.

The Reno Journal reports that
the claims comprising the Tri-Metal-
lie mining property in the Antelope
range north of Reno have been
bonded by Captain Griffin. The
price to be paid in case the property
suits the bonders is $40, 900.
A sale will undoubtedly be con-
summated as the ore from the mine
is good shipping material and is ex-
tensive in quantity. Recent tests
made at Selby's and at the Reno
Reduction Works demonstrate that
the free gold alone would pay the
cost of extraction, shipping and
milling. There is considerable sill
yer and good percentage of cop
per is the rock as well.

LYING ABOUT JAMAICA.
the Island in Some of Our Amer
tcan Newspapers.

The authorities of Jamaica have been
greatly disturbed by alleged news,
printed in this country. Some of these
items, says the New York Sun, have re-
ported that severe drought has caused
widespread distress; that the coffee,
orange and corn crops have been de-
stroyed and famine impends; that the
starving country people:are fleeing into
the towns; that the use of putrid water
has caused sn outbreak of typhoid ma
larial fever, and so on. These state
ments were all very inaccurate and
some of them entirely false, and were
calculated TO injure the island by pro-
ducing a most unfavorable impression
in regard to its condition.
Colonial Secretary Evans, therefore,
wrote to Vice Consul Springer calling
attention to these erroneous statements
and asked him If he could assist the
Jamaican government to put stop to
such continued misrepresentation, or
at least to counteract their injurious
influence. He said they were already
doing much mischief to the colony.
The vice consul accordingly sent
specimens of these falsehoods, together
with the letter which Mr.. Evans had
written to him, to our state department
and they have just appeared in our con-
sular reports. Somebody seems to be
interested in libeling Jamaica, and has
found a medium in this country for the
promulgation of his falsehoods.

lnhospitabIe Regions Which Are Now
Prolific Bullion Producers.
A few years ago the Mohave and
Colorado deserts we're among the
most inhospitable and unpromising
regions on the face of the earth.
Outside of the mining camps that
had been developed in them they are
SO still. But on the confines of the
former are mines which will run out
this year from $4,000, 900 to "a, $780,
900, most of which will be net gain
to the owners.
One mine there which has been in
operation four years has yielded divi-
dends to date amounting to $275,-
900, and others in San Diego county
ON the confines of the Colorado des-
ert is developing into one of the
most productive mines in the State,
although two years ago through mis-
management it had been placed in
the hands OF a receiver. Silver State.

STATE LAND OFFICE.
A Synopsis of the Business Transacted
During 1899.

During 1899.
The State Land Office in the year
1899 just closed, issued 1898 con-
tracts for land, beating all former
records since the opening Of the Of
fee. These contracts were issued in
duplicate and sent by mail to each
applicant for approved lands to be
signed and returned to the Land
Office. When dated, signed, and
recorded duplicate is sent to the
applicant for reference.
The new lands applied for under
the 2-Million Acre Grant aggregat-
cd 53.167 80 acres. The reverted,
or forfeited lands applied for dur
ing the year aggregated 20,25l AZ
acres. situated mostly in Lincoln
and Elko counties. Lands applied
for under claim of preferred right
aggregated 100 acres. making total
acreage applied for in 464 applica-
tions of 80.539 80.
The RECEIPTS of the Office amount
ed 10 s1s7, ,355.46, which was paid
into the school fund for the eduoa-
ton of the youth OF the State.
One hundred and eighty-nine pa
tents were issued for %, 1906 SO acres
which is less than the average for
1897 or '98.
Ofthe 2-million Acre Grant, 1888
372 90 acres have been selected, and
of these selections 1897. .743 Al acres
have been approved to the State by
the General Government, leaving
IS, ,629 50 to Re approved and 6,627-
on to be selected though about one
ninth Of all the contracts entered, in
to BY the State With applicants for
land were made in 1899, the receipts
Of the Office were not as large as in
some former years for the reason
that much of the land for which con-
tracts were entered into last year
were applied for the first payment
on the same made under previous
administration. This yesr, by rea-
son Of the many contracts entered
iuto in 1899, the interest payments
should exceed those Of any former
years.
There is no trouble whatever ex-
perienced in disposing of the State
lands. and in q few months, at the
usual rate ofiapplication, the 2-Mil-
lion Acre grant will be exhausted.
There are, however, several hundred
thousand acres Of reverted land that
have been forfeited for the non pay
fnent of interest and other causes,
which are subject to entry. These
lands have been approved to the
State by the General Government
and are subject to coAtract when ap-
piled for.
There are. according to the records
of the State Land Office, about IT,
600 acres Of land due the State under
old grants but selections under these
grants were suspended years ago by
the general land Office. Correspon-
dence with Nevada Land Agent G.
j. Happier leads to the belief that
when the 2-Million Acre Grant is dis
posed of the Commissioner of the
General land Office will reopen the
Internal Improvement grant, and
permit selections under that grant
until it is exhausted. Carson Appeal.
