Oil Discoveries

From reliable sources comes the in
formation that the presence of oil has
been established In tina neighborhood
of Big Pine in Ovens Valley. The
formation in the foothills of the White
Mountains, east of Big Pine, chiefly
slate and sapd stone, is favorable for
oil depositions. A great number of
locations have been made, and seve-
raj parties have announced thsir in
tention to start boring Immediately.
Boring is still going on in the neigh
berhood of Owens Lake. The Roose-
welt Oil company has reached Q depth
of 1900 feet and struck white oil,
though not in gushing quantity. The
company Is now moving its ontht,

Mason Valley Honey Takes Prize.

Paul Gallagher and Phil Mann, of
this valley, who last year shipped
case of comb honey to the st. Louis
Exposition, last week received word
that they had been awarded the first
prize on honey exhibits. The prize
is simply q bronze medal and intrin.
sically, is probably not worth but a
few dollars, but it is worth hundreds
as an advertisement to the world that
Mason Valley produces the hest honey
in the world. The medals for all
prizes are now being struck at the
Philadelphia mint under a special act
of Congress. 1t is not surprising at
all that Mason Valley honey has dis
tanced all competitors, for it is the
finest article ever produced by bees.
1t is simply another illustration of our
wonderful soil and climate in the way
of producing the best of everything

believe they would find it profitable
and it would be an easy matter for
them to win first prize.

render available for agricultural devel-
lopment, 25,000 acres of land. At
the present time the water surface
covers only $1,000 acres, but it is
figured that the marshes adjacdnt to
the lake would furnish another 10000
acres available for homes.
Within the memory of many of the
old settlers the area of the lake was
more than twice the present size. and
its illumination has been due to the
elements. Its averag depth at the
present time is only three and ond-half
feet, which gives it more the charact-
er of marsh than lake.
1t is planned by the Reclamation
authorities to drain the water Of Car
son Lake into Carson Sink, several
miles, furthur north which feat is
rendered feasibly by reason of the fact
that the elevation of the lake is thir-
ty-three feet higher than that of the
Sink, which in turn is eighty. six feet
lower than the town of Fallon, and
comprises the lowest lands in Carson
Sink.
Should this new project be pushed
to completion it will be opened to set
tlement in farm units as soon as
practicable, and will comprise some
of the most fertile lands in the Carson
Sink irrigation project, the character
of which will be of a sedimentaFy
nature, reinforced by the vegetable
decay in progress for ages.
The most cursory observer cannot
fail to note the Importance of this
new move. In the meantime the work
of those in charge will be watched
with interest.

One Of the projected enterprises
planned by the Reclamation Depart

Sink irrigation project, that carries a
great deal of significance as regards
the future of the section, on account
of its magnitude, is the draining of
Carson Lake.
Arthur Keddie, district engineer
with headquarters at Saltwater has
charge of the preliminary surveys,
which are already in progress, while
Engineer Frickstad has direct SUPER
vision of the present work, which in
cludes the running of surveys to de-
termine the feasibility of the project
which when completed will be sub
mitted to Supervising Engineer l.. H.

the construction of the drainage sys-
TEN or its rejection. At the present

work will soon follow the completion

be approved.

MINERAL LAND NOT Ex.
EMPT IN R. R. PATENTS
Exemption Clause Stricken Out
Since Ruliug Of 1903.
Commissioner W. A. Richards Re-
plies to Inquiry Regarding this
Matter-0ther Points at Issue.

Desiring to obtain further informa-
tion regarding the question of rail-
road land patents, John T. Reid wrote
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, and received the following
answer:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GEN.
ERAL LAND OFFICE.
Washington, D. c.,
November %, 1905.
Mr.. John T. Reid,
Mining Engineer.
Lovelocks, Nevada.
Sir;;-I am in receipt of your letter
dated November IL, 1905, asking if,
in the Patents that are granted by
the U. 8. to the Central Pacific Rail-
road, there is any reservation made
for minerals contained in Patented
lands.
In reply you are advised that in the
decision of the department of Decem-
ber 10, 1903 (32 L. D., BAD, it was
held:
There is no authority for the inser-
tion in patents issued under railroad
land grants, of the clause Excepting
all mineral land, should any such be
found in the tracts aforesaid): and
directions are given that in all future
railroad land grant patents said ex-
cepting clause be excluded.
Those instructions have subsequent
ly been complied with by this Office.
Very respectfully,
". A. RICHARDS,
Commissioner.
From this it will be seen that after
the patent has been issued, there is
no chance for the miner to secure
title to mineral claims upon said land,
unless they can prove that said patent
was obtained by fraud. When once
the patent has been issued, the char
acter of the land has been determn,
ed, and the department cannot or will
not reverse it's self.
As the list recently published in the
TRIBUNE contained land located ad-
iacent to Reno and some near Fallon,
as we'll as near Lovelocks, Mr.. Reid
wrote to the u. S. Land Office at Car
son, to find out whether The notice had
been published in any other paper
nearer the location of some of these
lands. Following is the reply: De-

/ the modern world who had almost
everything that can be thought of She
lived alternately in each of half a dozen
marble palaces, upon which had been
exerted all the art and skill and ingenuity
that money could buy. When she trav-
eled she lived in the handsomest private
car in the world, and her yacht was more
luxurious than anything afloat.
She had only to express wish and it
was granted, Her jewels were unequaled.
The earth had been ransacked to add to
| the pleasures of her table She had been
everywhere, and enjoyed just enough of
the intellectual without producing mel
ancholy. Moreover, she was young,
beautiful, in the best of health, and with
admirers by the score.
And yet this Princess of the modern
world was unhappy. The cause of her
unhappiness she did not know There
! seemed to be no reason for it.
So she summoned her three principal
advisers and requested of them a remedy.
Said the first: Your case, oh Prin-
cess, is not unusual. Happiness requires
for its full enjoyment the law of contrast.
You are surrounded by everything that
is pleasant, and have absolutely no
means of knowing how really happy you
are This knowledge can be obtained
only by associating with those who are
worse off than you. By the contemPla-
ton of their sufferings you will experience
constant satisfaction in the thought
that you are so much better off than they
are Ny advice, therefore, is for you to
leave your present associations and live
with the afflicted"
Said the second: ooh Princess, the
trouble with you is that you are selfish.
Those who are absorbed in themselves
cannot be otherwise than unhappy
True happiness can be obtained only by
associating with those who are worse off
than you are, and by giving up your life
to make them happy My advice, there
fore, is for you to leave your present
beautiful quarters and live with the
humble the lowly and the suffering"
Said the third ooh Princess, the
question which l have to discuss is too
sacred to talk about in public, SO with
your permission we shall keep it strictly
confidential"
To this the Princess agreed, and the
third day afterward she disappeared.
No one knew whittier she had gone.
Everything was kept up in her absence,
just the same as if she was there
At the end of the year, while the three
advisers were wondering what had be-
come of her, she suddenly reappeared.
She was in the garb of a peasant girl;
but her radiant face told her story

have lived for a year with the humble,
lowly and afflicted"
The first adviser sprang forward And
was it not as said?" he asked eagerly
The Princess shook her head.
Then the second adviser rushed out.
WAS it not as l said?" he asked.
Again the Princess shook her head.
1t is true" she replied that l fol-
lowed your advice; but not for the reasons
you gave me.
Then she turned to the third adviser
1T was YOU" she said. For you
told me that where have been l would

WANTS HIS RESIGNATION
BACK FROM GOVERNOR

Sheriff J. w. Dreger called on Govern
or johnson today and asked for the re-
turn of the resignation, which he sent
Monday. Altho attorneys hold that
the resignation to the governor is of no
effect, Mr.. Dreger did not want to leave
any chance for cloud on his title or on
the legality Of his official acts, and de-
cided to call in all his designations.
Governor johnson said that the resigg-
nation and the acceptance had been
made part of the office records, SO he
would ak letter withdrawing the
resignation, and would>write one in re-
ply, filing both letters to make the record
straight At the time the resignation
was sent him the governor expressed
the opinion that it should go to the
county commissioners, and advised Mr..
Dreger to consult the county attorney.
He accepted the resignation merely at
the sheriff s request, considering that it
would do no harm even if it should turn
out to be void.

WOLF PRONOUNCED TO
BE A CR0SS.BREED

All the wolf experts in the state cap
itol were called in today to pass on the
marks Of big black and white pelt
sent to the state auditor by County Au-
ditor Gaynor Of Meeker county. It was
presented to him by a man who killed it
near Forest City, who claimed wolf
bounty. The auditor questioned the
claim.
Peter E. Hanson, secretary Of state,
pronounced the animal to have been a
cross between a wolf and dog. He
said that he had killed such half-breeds
in years past. It's head is short like a
dogs, and the pelt glossy. AS this
was the general opinion, no bounty will
be allowed.
The law only allows us to pay boun-
ty on straight, standard bred wolves, -
said Auditor 1verson. "This animal has
doubtless done just as much damage as
wolf, but the law says that cross bred
wolves cannot be presented for boun-
ty.
Tt is reported that several more ami
mails Of the same sort are running wild
near where this one was killed.

without thinking Of himself, ran to
Mrs. Wirtensohn's bed and grasping
her hand in his teeth began to arouse
her in no gentle manner. At first,
thinking that he was in playful mood,
she shook him off, but he returned with
renewed vigor and almost dragged her
from the bed. Knowing then that
something must be wrong, she went to
the door and found the lower part of
the house filled with smoke.
Running to the front door, she hailed
passing policeman and the department.

MILWAUKEESLASHESRATE
CUT ON CORN FROM KANSAS CITY
TO LIVERPOOL SURPRISES
GRAIN TRADE.

The Milwaukee road today cut the
export rates on corn from Kansas City
to Liverpool to -281a cents. AS the
ordinary Kansas City-Baltimore rate. is
% cents and the Liverpool rate
30 cents, this is a material reduction.
The grain trade was surprised that @
leading line should begin to cut rates at
time when it is difficult to find enough
cars to move the grain tonnage offered.
Minneapolis grain shippers when ad-
vised of the action Of the Milwaukee,
were inclined to view the situation as
containing the germ Of trouble. In no
important manner could the present cut
hurt Minneapolis, but there might be
serious reflex effect in the event of de-
moralizatioN Of rates in the Omaha dis
trict. The Milwaukee has to meet the
competition of the gulf linse, and, not
being. on originator Of east bound Kan
sas City traffic, is compelled to get. the
business by concessions. Should the
other lines retaliate and slashing Of
rates follow, the Minneapolis coarse
grain exporters would feel it.
