MINERAL SURVEYORS UNDER FIRE
Government Begins Investigation
of Charges That They Locate
and Sell Mining Claims.

A Reno dispatch of March 20 says:
George L. Hunt. Government Land
Inspector, will begin Immediately an
investigation here of the charges
brought against Captain J. b. Menardi
aud other Deputy Mineral Surveyors,
who are employed in the Southern
part of Nevada. The matter will be
first taken up with Surveyor General
Matthew Kyle of Reno, and afterward
Inspector Hunt will proceed to South
ern Nevada, where Menardi and his as
sociates are alleged to have located
mining claims while serving as depu-
ties, violation of the rules of the In.
terror Department.
Entries VIII Be Forfeited.
"If Captain Menardi or any other
deputies have been locating claims, -
said Surveyor General Kyle this morn
ing, "they will be dismissed and their
entries forfeited. The laws Of the
United States regarding the location of
public lands by Land Office employees
have been construed by Secretary
Hitchcock to apply to mineral survey
ors.''
An Alleged Confession.
w. s. Williams is said to have con.
fessed to receiving 100000 shares Of
Redtop stock at Goldfield for locating
that property while employed as a
Deputy Mineral Surveyor, and many
sensational developments are expected
as result of Government inquiry.
Menard Denies the Charges.
A Reno dispatch of March 30 says:
Captain J. B. Menardi. who is ac.
cused by Major Duncan b. Harrison of
being at the bottom OF the alleged con-
spiracy in Southern Nevada to lille gally
locate mining claims, arrived in Reno
yesterday afternoon from New York
and Washington, where he had been
comforting with wealthy Eastern people
who are said to have been induced by
Harrison to invest in a mining
property owned by Harrison and
Menardi jointly. Menardi enters
a fat denial to the charges made
against him. He says that while
acting as Deputy Mineral Surveyor
he never located or authorized the To-
cation of single claim. He says fur
ther that he never profited by inside
information he obtained while acting
in his official capacity and that no man,
acting as dummy. ever made a loca-
ton for him. The facsimile location

which contains his name as the locator
of the BIRD" claim in the Hawthorne
mining district. he denounces as a
forgery.

PIUTES IN UGLY MOOD.
Oppose Having Part of Their Reser-
walton Given Up to Miners.

News comes from Hawthorne, Esmer-
aida County, that there is much dissat-
isfaction in the Piute tribe located on
the Walker River Reservation over the
action of the Interior Department in al
lotting the agricultural lands to the
members Of the tribe preparatory to
throwing open the mountainous Sec
tions to the whites for mining purposes.
There are about 700 Indians on the res
ervation, including $50. 900 acres. includ.
ing Walker Lake, the largest in the
State.
The Indians say they will be de-
prived of their game and fishing as
soon as the whites are given free access,
and some of them are disposed to be
ugly about the matter The greatest
objections come from the younger mem
bers OF the tribe.
For many years the Indians ON the
Walker Lake Reservation have guard
ed their splendid tract with jealous
care. Whites have been vigorously ex-
cluded when found prospecting or
hunting in the hills by the Indian po-
lice.
1t is not improbable that several of
the older Indians will be induced to go
to Washington to enter a protest with
the Interior Department.

why MINING ATTRACTS THE EAST
Government Investigations Have
Led Investors to Put Their
Cash Into New Channels

There have been numerous theories
presented to explain why investors in
New York. and the East generally. are
so anxious to get in ON mining prop
ositions of the West. says the Salt
Lake Tribune. and . prominent Salt
Lake mining man just returned from
the East suggests one Of the best
reasons why this is so. ~ he has talked
with many prominent investors on this
subject.
Aiasays an Attraction.
1t has been said that the tremendous
advantages Of modern day mining have
placed such . glamor around mining
proportions that the temptations are
too strong to be easily overcome.
There has always been an attraction
about mining. however, that no other
business known to the world possesses,
and this attraction is not much stronger
now than heretofore.
Tired eF the lndssfsisls.
The real reason is given that Eastern
investors are tired Of the old line In.
dustrials. So many huge corporations

have come into such unfavorable promi-
nence during the past few months that
men Of great means are ~ adverse 70

panies a. they are Of becoming directors
of the same.
Too Much InUsstigatioN.
Insurance. railroad. oil, coal aud
other lines Of enterprise into which the
inquisitive eye Of the law has been
peeking have lost much of their attrac-
tiveness and il is but natural that men
with money are glad for an excuse to
place their means into other channels.
Under the lead Of the copper stocks. the
gold and silver mining stocks are at
tracing the Eastern money. This
business in New York is practically In
its infancy. but it has great start and
1t is thought 1t will develop into one Of
the most prominent features Of the year.
