Nevada Publicity Committee
Requests Material For
Drafting Bill.

The NEvADAN has received the
following letter from the Nevada
Publicity Committee, the commit
tee desiring information both for
publication and to aid in the for
mutation of bills which are to be
presented to the present legisla-
ture. The committees letter is as
follows:
RENO, New, Jan. 81, '07.
Editor NEvADAN, Battle Noun
tain, Nevada-Dear Sir: At pres
ent, and until accomplished, the
main work of the Publicity Bureau
centers upon railroad legislation,
so far it has practically amounted
to nothing more than skirmishing
The sentiment, however, is main
tained alive, and results accom-
piished are evidenced by the fact
that the railroad requested a con-
fere ice. This will be held in the
near future and should the out
come be unfavorable, the real fire
will be opened up. In saying that
we expect to and must win, l am
merely voicing your own senti-
ments and that of every we'll bal
anced citizen in Nevada.
Will you be kind enough to eyi-
dence your good will by something
tangible in the shape Of a few
lines giving specific grievances of
Battle Mountain shippers against
the railroads? We need material
for publication badly, and in doing
your share toward contributing the
same you will render service to
Battle Mountain and Nevada at
large. Trusting to be favored with
a reply at your early convenience,
l beg to remain, very truly yours,
JOHN WHITsoN.
The grievances of Battle Noun
tain merchants are the same as
those of other shippers of the
State. On every class of freight
from the East Shippers here are
forced to pay the rate to the coast
and the local rate back.

Good Ore Being Produced on
the Grand Prize & Land
er Mining Compan-
les Property.

Word was received on Monday
from the Grand Prize and Lander
Mining companies of Lander, that
two more cars of high grade lead,
silver and copper ores are being
sledded down to Lander, it being
the policy Of the management to
pay for all development work with
shipments of this ore and at the
same time to block out an ore re-
serve. A shaft was sunk 80 feet
on the ore which produced four
cars and drifts were then run
north and south, proving the ore
shoot up 150 feet in length with
ore in each face of these drifts.
On various portions of the acreage,
Of the Lander and Grand Prize
company's property, comprising
10 claims, high grade lead-silver
ores were extracted in car load lots
by the early timers, known in that
section as chloriders or pocket
hunters, who gouged out IL or 15
cars of ore from the mere surface
cuts-in no case over % feet in
depth. These old timers mined
under discouraging conditions,
were paid only SO for lead and
nothing for their copper values.
The present expense for working
these ores will be cut down one
third when the Southern Pacific
railroad is extended down the
Cortez Valley, thence into Grass
Valley into the Smoky Valley to
Manhattan. This branch will tap
the Grand Prize and Lander mines
within a few miles. In addition
to the galena ore shoot which car
ries 100 ounces silver, 80 per cent
lead, 5 per cent copper and traces
of gold, they get returns in car
load lots for % per cent iron,
which makes the ore ideal smelt-
ing grade.-Correspondent to the
Goldfeld News.

Capitalization of $3,-

in Nevada has increased from seven
to forty-one, says the Reno Journal
This Is an evidence of the growth
and prosperity of the state, which
has not been overlooked by the in
vestor, and which when recorded
in the banking directory of the
United States, shows the most re-
markable rate of increase of any
section of the country. The total
capitalization of the banks in Ne
vada is SO, $4,000
The banks of the old days were
located at Reno, Carson, Virginia,
Winnemucca, Eureka and Austin
Changes have come since then; the
discovery of the gold camps of the
southern part of the state, the de-
velopment of the irrigable lands of
the Carson sink and the world-rec-
ognition which Nevada has gained
are responsible for the establish
ment of more financial institutions
in shorter period than has ever
been recorded before.
Now Reno has five banks, Car
son two, Gardnerville one, Virginia
one, Yerington one, Sparks one,
Austin one, Wonder one, Fairview
one, Fallon two, Eureka one, Elko
two, Winnemucca one, Lovelock
one. Tonopah three, Gold Center
one, Gold6eld three, Ely two, Man.
haitian three, Bullfrog one, Las
Vegas two, Rhyolite one. Caliente
one. Blair one and Beatty one.
The old banks, the ones which
were established before 1900, have
increased their capitalization. The
new institutions have done the
same. Nevada has five National
banks, they are Mt Lovelock, Elko,
Winnemucca and two at Reno.
Following is the capitalization of
the banks in Nevada, including the
branches: Bank of Austin, $40,-
600; Banks of Beatty and Rhyolite,
