ESTABLISH A MINING BUREAU.

one Of the things which Nevada
needs now is q mining bureau, and
that would be one Of the things that
the present Legislature should take in
hand At once and push to . successful
issue. Nevada Is coming to the front
a. . great mining State, in fact she
has always been such, but today she
is attracting more attention than any
other mining State in the union. Cap
ital IL seeking investment in all our
mining districts. and mining bureau.
and q mining bureau presided over BY
a competent mineralogist, would be
Of great benefit Such bureau
should be equipped with ores Of all
characters from all sources in the
State; mining properties should be
listed there and their true v(orth
known and given to seekers for in.
vestment; and all other Information
for those coming to Nevada. Such an
institution would add much to pro-
noting legitimate mining. and it
would also be the means Of squelch-
ing q lot of wildcat mining operators
and saving outsiders from loss in in
vesting in wild cat properties. This
matter should be taken up and ad-
vocated by the press for the good Of
the country.
If our memory serves us right, such
a measure was presented to former
legislature and it was turnd down.
For what reason we know not. How.
ever the time is now at hand when the
State should have a mining bureau,
and the present Legislature will no
doubt be called upon to establish
such an institution.

When he wended his way homeward his
thoughts were confused, bitterness mixed
with a strange sensation Of elation.
Should she receive the letter 1t was a
satisfaction to know that it was properly
worded He doubted If either Of her
former husbands could have penned such
another note.
But Immediately following his elation at
this reflection he shuddered, and cold
perspiration broke out on his forehead.
II she did not love him-what presump-

No, the letter had not come by post or
by tramp delivery. And each succeeding

some of his former poise and self conf
