NEVADA'S
SENATORS

Nevada was admitted into the Union
as a state in 1864, and its first repre-
sentatiVes in the United state SEN
ate went to Washington in that year.
They were William NJ. Stewart and
James w. Nye. Forty-one years have
elapsed and William NJ. Steward was
still the senior representative of Ne
vada in the senate until the 4th of
March, when he became private cit
izen, and now Hon. George S. Nixon
wears the senatorial toga. Stewart has
not held the place continuously, how
ever, for WIN. Sharon and James G.
Fair served term each, between 1871
and 1887, when Senator Steward was
again chosen. Senator Nye was sue
eeeded by John p Jones, and he in
turn by Francis G. Newlands, the pres
ent senator, whose term will expire in
1909.
Mr.. Jones, "A Welshman, was sena-
tor from Nevada for thirty years, from
1873 to 1903, when Mr.. Newlands sue
eeeded him. He was not candidate
for another term, and his name was
not presented in the caucus which
chose Mr. Newlands
II is an unusual thing for an Amer
lean state to have so few changes OF
representation as Nevada. Oregon,
admitted only five years before Ne
yada, has had fifteen United States
senator's. California, with fifty-four
years of statehood, has had twenty
three, and Utah, which became state
nine years ago, has had five.-Tono

Water is running into the Daily
Fraction shaft at the rate of about 80
gallons an hour. Water is in abundance
in the Quartzite and the Highland,
but it is being handled about as rapid
ly as it appears. In view of the preva-
lence of water in such close proximity
to tbs town the ACCESSIBILITY of securing
a diamond drill and sinking on the
townsite has been talked of by Dia-
rlondfield Jack Davis and his asso-
ciates. In the event that they carry
out this intention there seems to be no
doubt whatever of securing sufficient
supply for the domestic use of the

RENO INVENTOR.

What is called a carpenters ''tri-
square" has been invented by ID. b.
Lynch, a prominent Reno carpenter
and contractor, who recently applied
for letters patent which will probably
be granted as the tool is one of the
most original and convenient that has
ever been designed for mechanics of
the various trades.
The square is constructed some
what similar to the ordinary carpen-
ter's square, but is hinged at the joint,
enabling the mechanic to describe any
angle or circle with the one tool. 1t
is simple in construction and is pro-
nounced by local mechanics as a
splendid device Headlight

DEMAND FOR PLATINUM.
c illogical Survey will TRY to Locate
More of Metal.

Washington, April Sowing to the
increased demand for platinum, the
United States geological survey is
about to make an examination of the
platinum resources of the United
States. 1t is proposed to collect the
heavy sands from all placer mines in
the United States where evidences of
platinum have been observed. The
samples thus attained will be used IN
determining the best methods of ex-
tracing the various minerals which
have economic value.
| AS help to prospectors, the survey
publishes the following facts about
the qualities of platinum:
| Pure platinum is silvery white
metal with specific gravity of 21.5.
With the exception of iridosmium it is
the heaviest metal occurring in nature.
| 1t is almost as hard as iron and is very
maleable. Platinum does not ANAL
gamate with quicksilver, is not attack
ed by acids except the mixture of nit
ric acid and hydrochlor acid known
az aqua regia. 1t is more difficult to
melt than gold.
| Native platinum has been found
most frequently in gold bearing sands.
On account of its weight it remains in
the sluices with gold and other heavy
material. 1t is most readily distin-
guished by the following character
istics:
| % Its great weight-In panning it
remains behind even gold in the pan.
CD Its white color-It is whittier
than lead and is distinguished from
amalgum by its smooth surface,
whereas the surface of amalgum as
seen through good glass is rough.
Native platinum is usually very i'm.
pure; occasionally it contains so much
iron and so many other impurities as
to be dark in color and not easily dis
tinguished from chromite, with which
it is commonly associated. Platinum
grains are usually smaller than gold
grains. Large nuggets are very rare.
Platinum seems to be more generally
distributed through California than
through any othre state. Curry, Coos
Lincoln and Josephine counties in Or
egon have produced platinum. 1t has
been discovered in Nez Perez county
Idaho. Platinum has been reported
from Custer county, Mont, and from
the beach north of Lituya bay, ALASKA
The richest producer of platinum il
the United States is the Rambler mine
of Albany county, Wyoming.

PACIFIC HERRING.
Government Will Probably Make Ex.
perimentS in CurinQ.

Washington. April 3-Experts in the
curing and marketing of fish believe
there is a great future for the herring
trade on the Pacific coast. 1t is prob
able that experiments will be made
late in the coming summer or early in
the fall in putting up some North Pa
oific herring according to the best
Scotch method, for the purpose of as
pertaining definitely the eating and
keeping qualities of these fish when
properly cured. For this purpose it is
proposed to seud to Puget sound sever
al Scotch expert curers, and these men
may be employed to give instruction
to Americans desiring to learn the
business.
The Scotch are very skillful in cur
ing fish, especially herring. An expert
of that nationality Investigated the
herring industry OF Nova Scotia last
summer, and afterwards made a trip
to the Pacific coast to inquire into the
same industry there. 1t is the opinion
of this expert that the Pacific herring,
generally speaking, are smaller, but
contains much more oil than the At
lantic herring. The Pacific herring,
he concluded, are not as suitable to
pickle in barrels to compete with the
! best Scotch and Norwegian species,
and do not possess the kee ping quail
ties of the Atlantic herring.
He believes, however, that the west
coast product should have good mar
ket in China, Australia and the Straits
settlements, as we'll as in our own
Western states. A lot of Pacific her
ring were put up in barrels last year
according to the best Scotch method
and they sold we'll, but the best salt
was not used, so the experiment was
not fair test in every respect. TIE
same markets as those mentioned
would probably take large quantities
of dry sailed herring.
| 1t is certain that the North Pacific
and Alaska fisheries are capable of a
much greater development. Some
weeks ago mention was made in these
dispatches of the growing halibut in
| dustry in Southeastern Alaska. Fresh
balibut from Alaska are shipped as far
east as Boston, where they command a
good price in competition with the
Eastern article.
The Alaska halibut fisheries are pro.
ductive every month in the year.
Even in the month of January of this
year there were shipped from Alaska
to the United States fresh halibut
weighing nearly 200, 900 pounds, and
valued at $2S, 1862. The halibut fish
cries are increasing their output every
month. The shipments from Alaska
in January of last year were valued at
$22, 1873. In the first seven months of
the current fiscal year the shipments
amounted to 4 ,545,OOS pounds, worth
at the points of shipment Sl16,27l, as
against l ,4S1 900 pounds, worth $780,
8S4 in the same months of the fiscal
year 1904.
