Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Moore of Rhyo-

going north to one of the resorts. Mrs.
Moore is postmistress at Rhyolite.
The Rhyolite, New, ~postofice is a
year old, and during that time 1t has
done a business of $4,000, which is
Just IL times as much as is necessary
in order to receive the maximum salary
for a fourth-class office. If the govern
ment had furnished the office stamps
in sufficient quantities to supply the de-
mand, it would have done business
enough to have jumped from the fourth
class into the second. The postmaster
was obliged repeatedly to order large
quantities of stamps from neighboring
towns, for which he received no credit.
Mrs. Moore has given a very excellent
administration of the p~ostofhce.

questions considered, and the interests involved, this may well be termed the
most muortan session in the history of thu national legislature. N 10 other on

not only resented his domination, but which, as always in the past was con-

AS a result what did the president get?
Joint statehood, which he secured in a modified form that is expected td

The Handbook Of Nevada Mines is about to go to pressm much of the material
already being in type II is the desire of the publishers that every mining com
pany in Nevada be represented. and to this end al enormous amount Of work has
been one in collecting and compiling data. IL order to have 1t complete IS pos
sible and get it u without too much delay, The Goldfeld News has invited the
cooperation of the Mining Investor of Colorado Springs the well known mining
investment journal. and it is in collaboration with this paper that the Handbook
win be issued. The Investor and The News have beens securing the field and have
obtained data of several hundred companies, and 1t looks as If by tn time the
Handbook is issued it will have a oster of rot fewer than 1000.
The publishers have been embarrassed considerably by the dnatoriness of
nan If the companies in furnishing the data desired. There is N reason for
this. There is absolutely no expense attached to representation in this book 1t
is published for tn convenience of the brokerage and stock buying public, and
in or effort to supply this great need, we should have the hearty cooperation Of
the mining companies.
We are 10 issuing on last call for company data. We have done all we
could to make the booklet complete and If any company is unrepresented in the
publication, it viii not be tn fault OF the publishers The Handbook will be
about the size and shape If a No. 10 envelope, making it convenient for mailing
and for carrying in the pocket. The retail price Tor a single copy win be so
cents In large lots h price will be graduated. Brokers and others wishing
copies IN small Or large amounts art requested to file thero orders It the earliest
date possible.
Shortly after The Godfed News announced that it would publish a Hand
book of Nevada mines, another project ws announced from other sources Of
what was called a CONCEAL Directory OF Nevada Mines to be sold for $500
per copy What has become of this enterprise " re- do not know, but attention is
called to it. so that NJ confusion win arise in the public mind from confounding
the two They have n connection whatever.
This is the last call for company statements. If secretaries have not our
blanks, sent word to The Goldhed Publishing Company and they will be for
warded.

N exempifcauon of the spirit OF modern Nevada. OF course behind the town
