INDIAN LANDS
TO BE OPENED

w. E. Casson. special allot-
ing agent in the Government
Indian service. spent three or
four days of this week in Fallon
in the interests of the Govern
ment regarding the throwing
open to settlement of the Indian
reset vation in this county. This
reservation comprises about
10000 acres of as fine land as
can be found anywhere. Some
years ago Congress set apart
this dom ain and reserved it for
Indian settlement. yet in only
one or two instances was the
reservation taken advantage of,
due in the main to the absence
of water.
Last summer Mr. Casson re-
commended that the allotment
of 160 acres toeach Indian. head
of a family. which the Act pro-
vides, be reduced to 10 acres
and the remaining land thrown
open to settlementby fffe whites.
1t is generally understood that
Mr.. Casson has not changed his
views regarding this important
matter to Churchill county and
that hc will send in the same
opinion this year.
1t is a we'll known fact that
the Indians have PRACTICAL ig-
nored the provisions of the Act
and have failed utterly to COM
ply Herewith.
This land would have long
ago been under cultivation had
not Congress taken the action
it did. 1t is regarded by all the
farmers as excellent land and
capable of producing an abun-
dant supply of almost any of
the farm products. However. it
is better late than never and by
the time water reaches that To-
cality it is anticipated that the
land will be open for bona fide
settlers and furnish homes for a
great many citizens.

TO INSPECT
MARGIN NINE

Walker Brothers, the Salt
Lake City bankers, and who are
heavily interested in the great
mining camp of Tonopah, will
arrive here the fore part of next
week. In company with Sheriff
Shirley they will go to Eagle
vile and inspect the Margin
mine with a view to purchasing
the property. Returns from
eight assays recently made from
rock picked promiscuously along
the ledge averaged $I3 per ton
in gold, the highest one being
$40 in gold.
Should the Walker Brothers
conclude to purchase the prop
erty, it means great deal for
that section of the country.
They have the money necessary
to scientifically treat the ores on
the ground and a section will be
opened mp that has long since
been known to be fairly alive in
gold and silver. Their decision
is anxiously awaited by the peo-
pie of this county.

VIII Invest Here.

A. A. Bass, a business man OF
Tonopah, was a visitor last
week looking over the field for
investment. Mr.. Bass was quite
favorably impressed with the
future of this section. He will
in all probability dispose of his
holdings in the bonanza camp
and invest in Churchill county
ranch property,
