In response to a petition sen to the
general land office of the Interior De-
D ,rtment by miners and prospectors in
the Bullfrog mining district. in which
they ask for a survey of section lines Of
the mineral lands OF Southern Nevada.
the department. has Replied that the
prayer of the petition cannot be granted
at this time inasmuch as the law forbids
the expenditure of the Nevada appro-
priation for running section lines on
any but agricultural lands. Township
lines will be run in the southern Ne.

but until action is taken by a future
Congress for running of section lines

LUCKY sHEEPMEN.
Next Years Wool Clip Being Con-
trseted for at Over 20 Cents.

tFdcttu lOF NJ OtcH ~ VENTS
There is considerable comment in
local railroad circles over the fact that
railroad men are already in the field
soliciting shipments Of wool that has
not even yet been grown on the backs
Of sheep. and that cannot be handled
until xt May. says the Salt Lake Tri-
bune of Aug. %. There is much Sec
recy about 1t, and there are many
denials, and yet it is positively asserted
that many Utah s~heepmen have already
contracted for next years clip at prices
ranging from 20 to % cents.
st. Louis and Boston buyers are said
to have signed up contracts with Utah
and Idaho sheepmen. who are naturally
jubillnt over their good prospects. Re-
cent returns received from st. Joe, Mo-.
state that 7S2 lambs from Idaho were
sold there for 50. IS per head. while Sec
onds sold at 1915. The question OF
sheep ranges is b coming a serious one.
Already more sheep are raised than can
be advantageously fed. and the railroad
lands adaptable for grazing purposes
are passing into the hands Of private
owners. With the price Of wool above
20 cents and sheep averaging 81 a head,
the sheepmen are fast getting rich.

THE REGENTS EXPLAIN
Tell Why Librarian from Cali
fornia Was Selected.
Faculty Committee Knew of No
Qualified Resident of Nevada
Who Would Accept Position.
RENO, New, Aug. %. 1905.

KENO, New, aug. 20, iSOO-
Editor Gazstte-The following squ:b
appears in the Carson Appeal of this
date:
The Regents Of the State University
have elected Miss Alice Z. Armstrong
Of Fresno, Cal, Librarian of the Univer-
sity at a salary of $500 per annum
Many of the supporters of the institu-
ton will wonder why the Regents went
to California to get a Librarian. There
are plenty of young ladies in Nevada
who are entitled to the pos. tion.-Wells
Herald.
Ii the above is true the appoint
ment is one of the mos impolitic things
ever done by the Regents of the Univer-
sity. 1t is a marked and deliberate dis
courtesy to every lady graduate Of the
institution.
From all the Nevada girls who have
graduated at this institution it would
seem strange if one could not be found
capable by her experience and mental
equipment to fill su Ia a position.
1t would seem just as strange if a
hundred could not De found well quail
fed for the place. Yet the Regents
deliberately give these graduates a
public snub and send to California for a
librarian.
Messrs. Booher. Smith and Starritt,
what explanation have you for this sort
of work?
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1905-08-26

While these criticisms seem to be
worded in a distinctly unfriendly man.
ner, and are not the first of that sort
from the papers named therein it may
be well for me to reply on behalf Of the
Regents of the Nevada State Uni
versity:
The position was offered to a young
lady graduate Of the University who
refused it. Then the Faculty Com.
mittee recommended Miss Armstrong
as being so far as known the only
trained librarian obtainable ut the sal
airy. The Committee knew of no res.
ident of the State sufficiently qualified
who could be persuaded 10 accept.
AS matter of fact it is impossible to
secure sufficient graduates to fill the
pos tons as teachers in the various
counties of the State. and frequent APP
plications of County School Superin-
tendents are returned with the infor.
nation hat teachers no a be obtained
from among University graduates.
II anybody knows of a single person
in this State who is qualified and who
viii accept the position of librarian at
the sa airy, please name the person and
have him or her make application. II
is not too late to correct the oversight
if such has occurred.
