THERE is considerable com
ment about different measures
Governor Johnson is to present
to the next session Of the legisla-
ture. Does il mean at the last
moment he is going to call an
extra session? Surely a repub-
lican paper is not going to con-
cede the election of a democratic
governor at this time. His
message to the next legislature
should be treated as a thing of
the past.

Senator TiIIman Says Supreme Court

Washington, March S.-When Mr..
Clapp (Minn.) concluded his speech on
the railroad rate bill Mr.. Tillman
asked him several questions about his
construction of the right of the courts

reply indicated that he did not be-

that "if this is true we are face to face

will have to reform the supreme court,

ironing the State

Nevada Is now making history so
rapidly that it makes ones head swim
to keep up with the march of progress
and prosperity to be seen on every
hand. There will be more miles of
steel laid in this State the next two or
three years of any State in the union.
Nevada continues to be the center of
attraction in the railroad world and the
opinion prevails that in few years it
not only lead all others in the matter of
construction, but that it is more than
probable that next years mineral ton
mage will be something enormous, even
beyond the expectations of the most
optimistic. The new camps promise to
yield wonderfully in tonnage, particu-
larly the new copper camps.
The old mining camps of Caliente and
Phoebe are to be connected by rail,
work to begin as soon as men and teams
can be secured. Rails and ties are be-
ing unloaded at Caliente and work is to
be rushed. BY the entrance of the road
to Phoebe one Of the Oldest gold pro-
ducing camps in the State will receive
n redivivus.
Western Pacific people are making
all haste in the matter of surveying
and securing rights of way through the
State. At several points grading is in
progress, but difficulty is experienced
in the mstterof securing men and teams
as the mines are demanding more at
tention, with better salaries attached.
Another transc ontinental line is being
talked about which, if carried out, will
divert much freight and passenger traf-
fic from the Los Angeles way through
Nevada and to The coast. The proposed
line is to be built from Prescott, Ari-
IONA, direct to Las Vegas, Nevada,
through the State to Reno and on to
the San Joaquin and Sacramento val
leys, thence to San Francisco.
The Clark road has reached Rhyolite
and the event was celebrated in that
camp on the 22nd Freight trains have
begun handling traffic and the tonnage
is expected to be something immense
both ways.
The demand is so great for trans
portation facilities over the Nevada
Northern, just completed to Ely on
September 29th., that great difficulty
is being experienced in handling the
great amount of outgoing and incoming
freight Coal is getting to be a com
modify of grea value in the county of

FACTS REGARDING The COPPER
SITUATION

The Amalgamated Company has not
pound of copper on hand and the pro-
duct is sold far in advance through the
United Metals Selling Company of New
York, says the Mining World.
During the first six months of the
present year the Washoe smelter pro-
duced 1924, Oil pounds of copper, 3D.
81l, 735 fine ounces of silver and 22,567
fine ounces of gold. The Boston &
Montana smelter at Great Falls pro-
duced during the same period about a
third as much as the Washoe.
At present the Washoe smelter is
producing copper at the rate of liz per
cent of the total production of the world,
and % per cent of the total in the United
States. The Washoe production last
wear was tenth of the worlds pro-
duction. Last year the smelter produced
l65, 2O5, 144 pounds of copper, 7,O46, 4S5
fine ounces of silver and 1855 fine
ounces Of gold.
