Laws Responsible for Frauds.

| am gravely concerned AT the ex'
tremely unsatisfactory condition OF
the public land laws and at the prev
alence of fraud under their present
provisions. For much OF this fraud
the present laws are chiefly RESPONSE
BILE. There Is but m way by which
the fraudulent acquisition OF these
lands can be definitely stopped, n
therefore | have directed the secre'
tary of the interior to allow no patent
to be issued to public lands under n
law until by an examination on the
ground actual compliance with that
law has been found to exist. For this
purpose an increase of special agents
in the genera. land office is urgently
required; unless it is given, bona hde
would-be settlers will be put to grave
inconvenience, or else the fraud Will
In large part go on. The present coal

troll the right to work bodies Of coal
land large enough for profitable dc.
vclopment. My W belief Is that
there should be provision for leasing
coal, oil and gas rights under proper
restrictions. If the additional force of
special agents and mining experts
recommend is provided and well used,
the result will be not only to stop the
land frauds, but to prevent delays In
~patenting land claims and to conserve
the indispensable fuel resources OF
the nation.
Government Control Of Grazing.
The control of grazing In the ma.
tional forests is al assured success.
The condition OF the ranges is improv.
ing rapidly, water is being developed,
range controversies are settled. opp"
! sition to the grazing fee is practically
| at an end, and stockmon are earnest
" supporting the forest service.
The situation on the open govern
ment range is strikingly different. Its
| carrying capacity has probably been
reduced onc.half by over.grazing, and
Is still falling. Range controversies
in many places are active and bitter
and life and property are often In
danger. The interests both OF the
live stock industry and OF the govern
ment are ncedlessly impaired. The
present situation is ~indcGensihle from
any point OF view, and it should be
ended.
| recommend that n bill be enacted
which will provide for government
control OF the public range through
the department Of agriculture, which
alone is equipped for that work. Such
n bill should insure to each locality
rules for grazing specially adapted to
its needs and should authorize the col
lection Of n reasonable grazing fee.
Above all, tho rights Of the settler
and home.maker should be guaranteed.
Much OF the public land can only
be used to advantage for grazing when
fenced. Much fencing has been done
for that reason and also to prevent
other stock owners from using land
to which they have an equal right un'
der the law. Reasonable fencing which
promotes the use OF the range and
yet interferes neither with settlement
nor with other range rights would be
thoroughly desirable II 1t were legal
vet the Law forbids II, and the law
must and will be enforced. I will
see tn it that the illegal fences are
removed unless congress, at the pres
en- session. takes steps to legalize
proper fencing by government contro

seldom in making homes on n LAND
that it demands radical amendment.
That provision which permits assign
ment before patent should be repealed
and the entryman should be required
to live for not less than two years at
home on the land before patent Is
sues. Otherwise the desert land law
will continue to assist spectators
and other large holders to get control
of land and water on the public do
main by in~defensible means.
The Communication clause or the
homestead act serves, in a majority
of cases, to defeat the purpose OF the
homestead act itself, which Is to facii-
itate settlement and create homes.
In theory the Communication clause
should assist the honest settler, ana
doubtless in some cases it does. Far
more often it supplies the means by
which spectators and loan and mort
gage companies secure possession OF
the land. Actual-not constructive
living at home on the land for three
years should be required before com
mutation, unless it should appear
wiser to repeal the commutatiol
clause altogether.

Two plans are contemplated in
order to bring it about, either one
of which would double the pro-
ductiveness of the valley at once.
One is by securing governmental
reclamation assistance and the
other involves the operation of
water system under private own
ership and management
The further possibility that
struck me during my recent visit
was that of extending the meat
and packing business. The val
ley is now raising splendid cattle,
hogs and sheep, but for the same
reason as already named, is not
half what it should be in this par
ticular. 1t is fact that locality
capable of raising the finest quail
ity of hogs is now a great pur-
chaser of pork from the big east
ern packing houses.
But the people of that section,
encouraged by the era of prosper
ity which commenced when the
southern gold fields began to yield
supplies, are awakening to the
possibilities, and Yerington, in my
opinion, is entering on a new and
larger career.
A strike was made in the Lud-
wig copper mine while / was
there which shows something of
the unexpected possibilities of the
mineral wealth of that country. A
prominent mining man, and a pio-
neer in the business, told me that
in his estimation the Ludwig is
now just where the Anaconda was
in 1879. Other producing prop
critics are the Bluestone, Dyer and
Douglas groups.
This mining industry is receiv-
ing boom already, caused by the
proximity to the Walker Lake
Reservation, which is about to be
opened. Yerington is full of
prospectors waiting for the word
to be given that throws this rich
reservation open to mining oper-
atorS.
For all these reasons I went
into Yerington, locked the place
over carefully and as result
have, for my firm, ]. A. Bonham &
Son, taken an option on forty
acre tract in the heart of the little
town and will doubtless have a
branch Office established there

Douglas Affairs.

There were rumors afoat this
week that the Douglas mine had
been sold to Boston parties for a
fabulous price. Upon running
the rumor to earth it was found
that there was no truth in it. The
fact of the matter is that every
mining man who visits the Doug
las is stuck after the property and
wants an option on it. This is the
case with two different parties at
the present time, but neither of
them has yet come up to the own
er's terms with payment. A
deal is on, however, for the prop
erty, and will undoubtedly be
consummated before the end of
next week.

Rich Gold Strike.

Considerable excitement has
prevailed here during the past
week over some rich gold strikes
that have been made in the Alkali
Flat district, about twenty miles
west of Yerington. Word of the
strike was brought to town last
Saturday, and rush began for
the new diggings. The first dis
covery was made by Messrs.
Campbell and Kennedy, the form
er Cripple Greek prospector and
the latter from Goldfeld. They
have a fve-foot ledge of ore which
pans freely, and assays give re-
turns of from $40 to $500 per ton.
The ledge runs east and west and
can be traced on the surface for a
distance of several hundred feet.
There are other lodges and crop
pings in the vicinity, and people
from this place have made from rs
to 100 locations in the new dis
trict during the week. A dozen
tents are pitched in the vicinity,
and w. L. Brandon has located a
townsite at the lower edge of the
hills in which the strike was
made. The discovery is in the
low range of hills at the north
eastern edge of Alkali Flat, about
two miles east of the wagon road
running from DAYTON to Yelling
ton. The nearest way to reach
the country is from Yerington,
which is about twenty miles dis
tant to the east. Samples of ore
from the ledge of Campbell and
Kennedy show it to be a brown
iron-stained quartz and porphyry
with some lime, and presenting
the appearance of burnt-up mass
but it carries the gold. People
are still f1ockipg into the district.
