Desert Land Entries.

Following is a resume of the law gov
erning desert land entries, by John w.
Corbell, S. Land Com. that NAV be of in
terest to those wishing to take lands under
the act:
Every citizen of the United States and
those who have declared their intention To
become such, over I'll years old, or the
mead OF a family is entitled to 3zo acres of
agricultural public land. Every male
citizen is entitled to 100 acres as a home
stead, il he so desires, which limits his
rights to a desert claim to 100 acres. A
married woman is entitled 10 a desert claim
OF 100 acres. In other words, a man and
his wife are entitled to $40 acres. A Des-
ert claim must be in compact form unless
good reasons can be shown why it is better
to take in another form.
Desert land costs SI.25 per acre in mon
ey and at least $500 per acre in work.
The sum of twenty-five cents per acre must
accompany the application and one dollar
per acre is payable on final proof. At
least sI.oo per acre must be expended each
year in permanent improvements for a
period OF three years and a yearly state
ment, corroberated by two disinterested
witnesses. showing how money was ex-
pended must be made. Any thing in the
way OF permanent improvements count in
this required expenditure If desired, fnal
nFOOt Tnn hn rrnda -. -.
payment is not required until four years
after date of filing.
a map showing the completed plan of
irrigation must accompany the application
and this map must show the actual plan
contemplated. 1t is required to put water
on all the land in sufficient quantity to re-
claim it and if there are any high or un-
ever places on the land, impossible to irri-
gate, this map should show them. With
the hnal proof. another map, showing
what has been actually accomplished, is
required. 1t is required to cultivate at
least one eighth of the land.
Desert lane is construed to mean anv
land that will not, in an ordinary season,
when unfed by grazing animals, produce
a crop OF hay, sufficient in quantity to pay
for the cutting, or will not produce an
agricultural crop of any kind, in an
ordinary season, without artificial irrigation
IN sufficient quantity to be remunerative
Desert claims can be filed on either sur
veyed or unsurveyed land, Homesteads can
filed only on surveyed land. While
there have beer no material changes in
the Desert Land Laws recently, on account
SO much fraud connected with it, the
policy of the government is to give desert
claims special attention to the end that the
must be complied with in every re-

Nixon Wants Nevada Transit.

A company, composed Of Senators
Nixon and Newlands, ?. l.. Flanagan.
James Dunn and T. B. Hickey, are
said to be after the Nevada Transit
property, which operates the street
railway system in Reno and Sparks.
Two hundred thousand dollars is
said to have been offered for the prop
erty, which Is now controlled by the
Fleishacker- Martin Buck. Waller syn.
dicste Of San Francisco, and is one Of
the best paying properties in the
State. Salt Lake parties are also
after this property and are bidding
lively against Nixon and associ ates.

with varying depths to the outer
edges. From this reservoir the water
will be taken to various points down
the canyon, to float a dredger, or sup
ply giants for hydraulicing.
The canyon has yielded millions to
the Cinnamon, burrowing and tunnel
ing in their crude way. Tests have
proven that the wash and gavel con-
tains placer gold in paying quantities.
1t is an immense proposition and, now
that the question of water supply Is
again settled, the company are going
right ahead with the arrangements
of placing a dredger at work in the
canyon as soon as possible.

GOVERNMENT TO AID PROSPECTORS
in THEIR FIGHT AGAINST RAILROAD
Will Set Aside the Patents Granted Railroad on Min.
eral Lands, Claiming That They Were Obtained
Through Fraudulent Representations.

1t looks though the Government had at last awak
ened to the gross injustice being done the prosector and
miners in this State and others, in granting patents to
the railroad upon lands containing mineral other than
coal and iron In the bill known as the Railroad
Grant passed by the U. S Congress to encourage the
building of the Pacific Coast lines the roads were given
every odd numbered section within twenty miles on
both sides their track, excepting those valuable for
mineral oer than coal and iron than for agriculture.
These agricultural lands and coal and iron lands
were thus given the roads to encourage the settlement
of the great West The mineral lands were reserved
for the miner and the prospector The first patents is
sued the railroads contained this mineral reservation
clause but in later paents this clause has been omitted
in accordance with ruling Of the Land Department.
The TRIBUNE takes upon itself some credit for this
action for through series of articles written byJ.T
Reid and published by U.s. the matter brought to the
atteution of the Department Furthermore petition
prepared and sent to Washington asking that some
means be adopted to stop this great injustice. Through
these articles the of the Sutherland antmony
mines Loveock and of the Leete salt works on the
Carson sink informed of the fact the railroad was
AT THAT TIMF making application for patents to the
lands they claimed mineral, hence they were ena-
bled to enter ter protests at Carson and their
claims

suited for agriculture. Notice OF ap-
plications for patents have been in
serted in papers of limited circula-
tion and often located at great
distance from the lands sought to be
patented. By this means the Com
pany secured patents 10 one instance
to the famous old mines at Onion
vile that were opened up forty years
ago and which produced millions of
dollars. They also obtained IN 1902.
in the White Horse patent, a govern
ment title to section of land In
which mine and its quartz mill was
then in active operation. The Com
pany also recently obtained patent
to the nickel mines located near Love-
lock, in which large force Of men
were employed, and made an effort to
patent lands at Leetsville. upon which
the Leetes were operating a salt
plant.
In all Of these instances the agents
of the Company made oath that the
lands were not mineral bearing.

Interesting Buckskin Briefs.

The following items regarding the
camp of Buckskin, in which many of
our readers are interested, are from
the Lyon County Times. the paper
published nearest that camp:
Miners are still scarce in camp and
number of good men can find steady
employment at good wages.
Tie gasoline hoist and other ma
chinery for the Original Buckskin Co.
of which g. F, VonPolenz is president,
has arrived at Wabuska and is being
hauled TO the mine.
A gasoline hoist has been ordered
for the Buckskin Consolidated Co., of
which Mr.. Benham is president, and
when it arrives and is installed work
will be pushed with all possible speed
to develop the ground.

in the camp, adjoing the Pierce prop
ertv. made quite a sensational strike
on one cleim last week. A ledg. sew

WATER AGAIN RUN.
MING INTO RESERVOIR
Federal Mines Preparing TO Put
Dredger on Their Properties.
Water Carried from Indian Creek
Over Summit Into Spring Valley
Through Large Pipe Line.

Geo. W. Dyke, superintendent of
the Federal Mines company. of Spring
Valley, was in town from that prop.
erty ovr Sunday. He states that
the work of repairing the pipe line,
which conveys the water from Indian
creek over high divide into the CON-
pany's reservoir at the head of Spring
Valley, has been finished and water
is running into the reservoir.
This pipe line, about four miles in
length. was constructed by the COM
pany several years ago at an expense
of over a hundred thousand dollars.
The pipes at the intake are % inch
and from that they are graduated
down to ID inch at the outlet. From
poor construction, or some other
cause, the pipes on the original line
gave way, the pipe separating at the
joints and leaking 80 that it would
not convey the water.
This fall Superintendent Dyke has
had q force of men at work on the
repairing and re building of this line
The work has been done in a most
thorough and substantial manner.
"Slip joints" have been placed in this
new line, to allow for contraction and

AMENDMENT CARRIED.
Law to Tax Patented Mines Has a
Majority.

Sufficient OF the election returns
are in to show that the proposed
Constitutional c amendment placing an
arbitrary appraisement Of $500 upon
all patented mining claims has carried
by large majority and that it is now
law. The amendment was proposed
by the Legislature Of 1903. ratified
by the Legislature of 1905. and in
the recent election was adopted by
the people, thus making it part of
the State Constitution. The purpose
Of the amendment is to compel the
owners of patented claims to work
them and deliver into new hands
PATENTED claims that have been aban-
doned permanently by the owners.
Scattered all over Nevada are thous-
ands Of valuable claims that were
taken up and patented many years
ago. They have since been lying
idle, the owners having no intention
whatever of working them again.
They can not be legally taken by
prospectors who are anxious to re-
open the mines, inasmuch as they can
not be sold for taxes. as the present
mining tax is upon the bullion output
alone. Next year, when taxes be-
come delinquent, these claims will be
offered for sale as delinquent prop.
erty. They will be sold at auction,
and for many of them there will be
sharp bidding. In anticipation of the
sale next year mining men are now
searching the records to spot
claims of value which they think can
be bought for song. While many
men supported the amendment for
selfish reasons, the people of the
State considered it necessary ad-
dition to the Constitution.

The matter was taken up BY the
Interior Department Monday when
Secretary Hitchcock issued an order
directing that hearing be held at
Carson, Nevada, at an early date pre-
liminary to the government filing suit
TO cancel the patent to $4,000 acres
of land held in the White House
Mining District by the Central Pacific
Railway Company, located thirty
miles east of Reno.
The order was issued after oral
argument had been made by s. s.
Downer and 4. c. O'Brien of Reno be-
fore the Assistant United States At
torney General and four of the sblest
lawyers of the Interior Department.
The Nevada attorneys scored q COM
plete success. and the suit to which
the government has committed itself
will be farreaching.
1t is believed that when this suit
has been disposed of the government
will next proceed to attack the pat
ents held by the Central Pacific in
the mining districts in the vicinity Of
Unionville, Mill City, Ryepatch, Love-
lock, and elsewhere along the line of
the road in Wsshoe, Story, Lyon,
Humboldt and Elko Counties in Me-
vada.
1t is reported in Washington that
the Nevada parties succeeded in in
teresting President Roosevelt In their
case and that he gave it his personal
attention before it was laid before
the Interior Department.
The attorneys in the. case are in

Company, and have 1been represent
ing J. "A. ingalls, against whom Q suit
was lodged by the railroad company
which was trying to deprive him Of
valuable mineral lands near Oling-
