FABULOUS GOLD FIELDS

Huge Vein Streaked With Seams From
Which Enormously Rich Samples

-GOLDFIELDa New, April 2.-Sensa-
tiouai discoveries, which eclipse any
thing yet made in southern Nevada. are
reported from Round Mountain. fifteen
miles north of Manhattan. on jefferson
Canyon Road The strike has been
visited by prominent Goldfield opera
tors. and the reports are fully verified.
It looks like another great camp-the
third witnin the past month.

Rights of Squatters.

The House has good prospects of a
lively set-to over a bill recently passed
in the Senate. relating TO rights OF
squatters on reclaimed lands. Western
members have been looking into Il, and
there is a very general disposition TO
make a fight on IL.
The bill in itself is OF little impor-
tanee. save for the precedent 1t in
wolves. The townsites OF Hepburn and
Rupert. located on the lands tributary
to an Idaho irrigation project. are in
voIved. Squatters settled, without
right or color of title, on lands which
afterward were selected for towasite
purposes under this enterprise They
ton OF their equitable rights, 20 the
extent of providing that in the sale OF
the town lots they will have Iirst con-
sideration and be allowed 10 buy at an
appraised valuatiosz.
This would be equivalent, Western
members explain, 10 putting a preni-
um on the squatter, as against the set
tier who oDeyS the law As soon as
such measure passed. the work would
begin TO get the appraisal made as
low as possible. and IN the end the
law abiding settler and the Government
would alike lose.
After il had passed the Senate. the
bill went TO the House and WIS re-
ISsEeO' not 10 me OoHiAnittee On Afrl-
CATION, but to that on public Ia nds. A
number Of members who had been
watching for il were thrown on the
track for a day or two. but finally got
track of il and went in search OF the
measure. They decided that IL was
likely to be reported out Of the Public
Lands Committee and so took their
troubles TO the Speaker. asking him for
an assurance that IT would not be al
lowed TO be called Up. unless the op-
ponents were present and prepared for
their fight.
They declare that they will defeat IL

Real Departmental Economy.

Attention is called to one of the
lesser wastes of the departments by
the report just submitted to the
President from subcommittee Of
the Keep Commission OF the tele-
phone service between the depart
ments The recommendations con-
tanned in that document are not so
much measures of economy as means
of improving the service. But it is
10 be noted, nevertheless, that when
the supply of messages mas been en-
larged according to the maximum
needs Of the departments, the whole
cost is yet to be $4,000 less than
now.
1t is not long ago--two or three
years-that the Government paid the
Chesapeake ana Potomac Telephone
Company from $65,0OO to $4,000 a
year. The service was rated on a
general charge of $25 an instrument.
Secretary Morton undertook TO re-
.duce the outlay and was met by a
proposition from the telephone COM
pany TO charge three cents a mes
sage and $12 an instrument extra,
which would make a total, according
10 the number of calls then used. of
not less than $4,000 But before he
and his subor6inates snished with
the business, they had brought the
cost down to about sac, 900 by three
measures: First, by the reduction of
the charge per instrument from S12
TO So; second, by the reduction of the
rate per message from three cents to
two and one-half cents; third, by
measuring the tax for wiring accord
ing to direct distances and not accord
ing to the routes CT which the COM
pany happened to decide. The third
reform alone netted the Government
not less than $1,000 year.
The plan now proposed to the
President and approved by him pro-
vides that the Government shall
merely lease wires from the tele-
phone company and provide its own
service. Fifty-one "tie lines" are TO
be connected with, single switch
board, employees of the Government
are to conduct the system, and the
service is 10 be expanded as far as
the business needs of the depart
nentS (nOt the DprcOnal desires Of
the clerks) can possibly require.
In all its aspects, the Govern
ment's experience with the telephone
illustrates the great advantage of
buying for all its bureaus according
Ito a common standard and at one
time. What has been accomplished
with the telephone could be accom-
plished with vastly greater saving as
10 practically every other item of
supplies now in use among the de-
partments. Half a dozen prices are
paid for almost every article and
nearly all of the half dozen are in
excess of the rate paid by non-gov-
ernmental purchasers. The progress
made in adjustment of the telephone
service in the course of the last three
years is important but it is only a
promise of the progress which can
be made throughout the departments
by the general application of the
same methods.
