SENATOR'S MEET
TO FRAME SLATE
I.ANGUM Is TO GO BACK AS SEC
RETARY OF SENATE.
Thirty-six Republican Senators United,
with Thirty-six Places to FIJI
There, Are Seven More Republicans,
However, Yet to Be Heard From.

Samuel A.. Langum Of Preston. Sec
rotary Of the state senate for seven
consecutive sessions, will serve in the
same capacity for the next legislature.
This was determined at meeting Of
newly elected senators in st. Paul yes
terday. There were seventeen present.
and all took lunch together. Most Of
them were old senators reelected, and
they had with them letters and person
al assurances from thirty-six republican
senators-elect, all but seven Of the re-
publicans. All the thirty six agree to
support Langum for another term.
/ Nothing else was determined yester-
day, but meeting will be held later on
at which the rest of the senate slate
will be decided on. There are Just
thirty-six places to be filed in the SEN
ate organization, SO each of the thirty
six represented yesterday can have an
appointment. This does not include
stenographers and pages, who are
named by the lieutenant governor.
The old senators would like to have
the same old desk force back, but A.
D.. Countryman of Appleton, assist
ant secretary for six sessions, has no
sponsor in the republican caucus, as a
democrat was elected from his district.
The senator's would like Mr. Country
man in his, old position and it may be
arranged after ALL G. B.. Wollan, who
was second assistant, was chosen from
Glenwood, but now lives in st. Paul.
He is a candidate for his old place, and
NAV be chosen again, altho he, too, is
without senatorial sponsor. W. A.
Simonton of Glenwood is a candidate
for one Of the desk positions.

Amendment
Carried.
Law to Tax Patented
Mines Has a
Majority.

Sufficient of the election returns
are in to show that the proposed
Constitutional amendment placing
an arbitrary appraisenent of $500
upon all patented mining claims
has carried by a large majority
and that it is now a law. The
amendment was proposed by the
legislature of 1908, ratified by the
legislature of 1905, and in the re-
cent election was adopted by the
people, thus making it a part of
the State Constitution. The pur-
pose of the amendment is to CON-
pei the owners of patented claims
to work them and 70 deliver into
new hands patented claims that
have been abandoned permanently
by the owners. Scattered all over
Nevada are thousands of valuable
claims that we're taken up and
patented many years ago. They
have since been lying idle, the
owners having no intention what
ever of working them again. They
cannot be legally taken by pros
pectors who are anxious to reopen
the mines, inasmuch as they can
not be sold for taxes as the present
mining tax is upon the bullion out
put alone. Next year, when taxes
become delinquent, these claims
will be offered for sale as delin-
quent property. They will be sold
at auction, and for many of them
will be sharp bidding. In antici-
patton Of the sale next year min
ing mon are now searching Che re-
cords to spot" claims of value
which they think can be bought
for a song. While many men sup
ported the amendment for selfish
reasons the people of the State
consid cred it a necessary addition
to the Constitution.

A Big Fire at
GOldfield.

A fire at Goldfield last Friday
night destroyed the Goldfield Ho-
tel and burned two people to death.
The dead are Judge j. NJ. Ellis of
Denver, mining man, and A. Fl.
Heber, a capitalist of Los Angeles.
Mrs. Bolin of San Jose, Cal, and
f. b. Young, residence unknown,

persons were injured. The fire
broke out at IL o'clock and was
soon beyond control. The total
loss will be about $4,000 with
$50, 900 insurance. The hotel be-
longed to the State Bank and

Nevada and Copper.

Nevada is destined soon to rank
as one of the greatest, if net the
greatest copper producing State in
the Union. From nearly every
section of the State copper discov-
cries are reported. The recent
rush to Walker Lake has resulted
in several big copper finds, and
the country around Battle Noun
tain is being developed for its cop
per showings. Superior Mountain
in the Manhattan country promises
an enormous production, while
other sections of the State are on
the verge of boom occasioned by
recent discoveries of red metal.
The prospector in search of wealt h
is examining every section of the
State thoroughly, and the man in
the hills is keeping his eye open
for copper as we'll as other metals.
The camp Of Ely has shown itself
to be known quantity in the cop
per world, and Yerington at the
present writing is another copper
camp which is coming to the front
rapidly. Montana, Arizona and
other states must now look to
laurels if they desire to keep their
positions as big copper producers.

Voluntarily Increase
the Wages of
Timers.

All miners employed by mining
companies at Bisbee and Tomb
stone received notice last week of a
raise in wages to date from Novem-
Der 1st. The scale has been ad-
vanced twenty-five cents a day all
around. Miners now receiue $3.75
per day, and shaft men S4.25. The
new scale means the expenditure
OF half a million dollars per an
mum by mining companies.
All of the large mining corpora
tions of Butte at noon la4 Satur-
day posted notices at their proper
ties that beginning November Is,
the wages of all underground men
would be increased from $3.50 to
$3.75 day. At Anaconda, where
the works Of the Washoe smelter
are located, and at Great Falls,
where the Boston and Montana
smelter is situated, notices we're
posted that, beginning November
18th, all men receiving less than
So a day will on end after Novem-
Der 18th receive that sum. In each
case the notices state "that this
notice is made on account of the
satisfactory condition of the metal
market and it is understood that it
will be allowed as long as the price
of eleotrotypic copper remains at
13 cents per pound or over"
Ten thousand men in Butte
alone are effected by the increase
and more than 1000 in Anaconda
and as many in Great Falls. The
increase was made voluntarily. No
increase had been requested by
the men. John ID. Ryan, manag-
ing director for the Amalgamated
Copper company, made the in
crease at the request of III. I'll.

Thanksgiving
Proclamation.

In the providence of God, the
energy of the people and the assist
ance from outside investors, the
State of Nevada has prospered dur
ing this year beyond all prece-
dents.
Our population and wealth have
greatly increased, mainly through
world wide attention to our min
eral belts. and we willingly concede
their vast and steadily increasing
wealth. Nevada, however, is also
rich in tie possession of hundreds
of thousands of acres, with soil as
fertile as can be found on the globe;
a government water-storage sys-
tenn, complete with canals and
laterals, which secure a home to
the home seeker; and all other
branches of business equally thriv-
ing and prosperous, inviting all
who may so desire, to engage in
the various business pursuits, with
assurance of comfort, contentment
and peace, which prevail within
the borders of this great Common
wealth.
In view of this condition and a
custom long established, setting
apart a day each year for thanks
giving and prayer to the Ruler of
the Universe for the many favors
and mercies vouchsafed, Thursday
the 29th day of November, 1906,
is therefore designated Thanksgiv-
ing Day and it is recommended
that it be observed by the people
of this State in manner comply
ing with the proclamation of the
President of the United States.
1t is also recommended that the
poor and needy be amply remem-
bered by gifts from those whose
means will allow, and that the day
be passed in friendly intercourse be-
tween relatives, friends and neigh
bors, to the pleasure of all, and
honor to the State.

Of which contains many of the prominent
