EIGHT HOUR LAW PASSED
Only Two Senators on Record in
Opposition Bells Say.

The eight-hour law passed the
senate with only two votes registered
against it. The measure passed the
house several days ago. The debate
on the bill in the senate Thursday
was concise and to the point. Sena-
tor Jackson, who was not elected on
a platform declaring for the bill
spoke not especially against the bill,
but gave his views Of the subject
matter. He stated that while he
was in favor of short hours for labor
and labor unions, yet he believed
that the law as it reads attempts to
cover too much territory, and places
too many restriction on incoming in
vestments. He therefore registered
his vote against the measure.
Senator Bell was about of the same
opinion. He stated that he realized
that the platforms of both parties
were declared to be in favor Of the
bill, but as he voted against the bill
two years ago, and had no reason to
think differently at the present time
he would vote according to convic-
tons and against the bill, which he
did.
Senator Graham advocated the
bill in all its particulars. He believed
that it was intended for the better
ment of the miner and under the just
reading and execution of the bill that
it would work a benefit to that class
of workmen, and in no way be a hard
ship on the miner or the mine owner.
Members of both parties voted for
the measure, both in the senate and
assembly, as both parties were
pledged in platform and on the
stump to cast their influence and
votes for the measure. The bill will,
without doubt, be signed by the gov
ernor, as he was elected under the
same conditions as the enacting
members. Nevada is now ON record
as an eight-hour state and the effect
of the law will be keenly watched by
both the advocates and those who
have openly and silently opposed the
important piece of legislation.

GRANDPA MINING DISTRICT
The Facts Concerning an Entirely
New Gold Camp.

From data gathered by the Bo-
xANZA the conclusion Is Irresistible
That new Nye county mining camp
Is about 10 spring into popular notice
nv reason of its almost marvellous ex'
tent and solid worth independent of
any display Of specimen gold ores;
For no particular reason specified
the discoveries and mine owners have
named the locality Grandpa dis
trict IL is situated eight miles east

miles southwesterly from Tonopah.
The county is of easy access, we'll
wooded and "a mile and a half distant
from the first locations there is a
three inch flow of good water. There
has never been prospectors pick
stuck into the ground until the dis
coyery Of the lodges by II. G. Stimler
on December %, 1902. This is a
rather astonishing fact, considering
that the country all around under
went considerable prospecting and
mining activity in the early seventies.
A possible explanation may be that
the ore, such as we have examined of
it. very closely resembles the crop
ings of the Mizpah, and like it may
have been overlooked by the follow
ers of the burrO.
In general formation appears gran
tie. slate and lime. There are seven
distinct lodges, with north and
south trend, crossing one group OF
eight claims, which belong to H. c.
Stimler, ]. L. Butler, Thos. Kendall,
and W. A. Marsh. AT one point on
the Sandstone and May Queen claims
these lodges converge, where the
combined outcrop of ore has Width
of 300 feet. These parties own thir.
teen claims altogether the Others
being within a group Of seven claims
Four of these are traversed by sever
clearly defined lodges running east
and west. Separately, the width o
all may be averaged at three feet
The ore shows clear quartz, and from
appearance would be described a.
silver sulphides, but it carries bu
little more tran 81 per con of th'
white metal, the gold values ranging
from S. to $25 per ton There is I

Up to the present time there ba

soon as warmer weather come
along. Grandpa district will prov
the progenitor of many others. Their
will be no waiting for capital to effec
developments. This early instanc
is indie ltve OF the success which i
in store for the numerous exploring
and prospecting parties which are t
set out from Tonopah the comm
season. And it win not much mai
ter which way they go-the mine
and minerals are all around.
