THE LIBRARY BUILDING
Good Progress Being Made on the
New State Building

Work on the new State Library
building IS progressing rapidly The
concrete foundation is finished and the
first line Of stone is being laid. The
basement of the building will be on a
level with the present floor Of the
main building, which practically gives
the building another story.
Since the fire and earthquake sand
stone as building material has been
shown to be one Of the most staple
CT articles. as it is not only with
stands earthquake shocks but is prac-
uoally fire proof. Unlike granite it
does not crack and check, but can be
used for fire hearths.
The stone is cut at the Prison,
which gives the masons a chance 20
rush matters along At the present
time there is a good supply OF cut
stone on the ground which will carry
the building well into the second
story.
1t is believed that the building will
be ready to turn over to the State
this fall as there is plenty of material
on hand.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION
Deputy Mineral Surveyors Held on
Serious Charge


Serious Charge
AS result of the investigation be-
gun under Surveyor General Matthew
Kyle in connection with the charges
lnade by Duncan B. Harrison against
Deputy Mineral Surveyor Menarii,
Deputy Minera Surveyors Lester -
bell and H r. Bruce OF Goldfield, are
uhcer ban at present and their
connection with the location OF three
valuable Gains in the Goldfiedl dis
trict is being looked into by, Federal
agents
According to evidences thus far al
duCed by the government agents, t
appears that Bell and Bruce, together
located the Berlin and the Berlin No.
l and ?. This was in 1904 The claims
proved OF great value and were TAX
en- by the Wheeling Goldfield Mining
Company, who later mad Attorney Hat
ton apply for an official survey.
r. A. Byier, was accordingly COM
missioned by Surveyor General Kyle
to execute the survey and ii appeared
then that the two deputy mineral sur
veyors Bell and Bruce. had located
| the claims
This, it Is believed, Will invalidate
| the claims of the present owners CT
| the three valuable properties and, like
| Menardi, the rights of mineral sur
| veyors TO possess themselves OF min
ing claims is brought into question.
Ii seems that Bell and Bruce loca,-
ed in 1904 The Berlin and Berlin No.
l and mines in the Goldfield dis
! trict which claims were subsequently
sold to the Wheeling Goldheld Min
ing Company. The latter firm, through
its attorney, Hatton, applied for Of
| fetal survey which was executed on
December 16, 1905. by E. E. Byeis
| Then it was found out that Bell and
Bruce had ben the original locators.
AS Bell was appointed Deputy Min
eral Surveyor N 1903 it was clear to
the authorities that he had no right
to make location in his private cap
acity, but Bruce was not at the time
of the original location, fedora
agent Subsequently and before the
claims were transferred to the Wheel
ing Gold Mining Company, both of the
original locators filed amended loca
tions This was after Bruce, too. hat
become a deputy mineral surveyor.
The question that the government
is now asked to decide is whether
ella -ns located by two men, one dep
uty minreal surveyor and one who Wa:
were men full dedged mineral sur
/ veyors. are valid.
In other words. does the Wheelin:
Goldfield Mining Company own the
