FEARS A POLITICAL issue
IN THE SENATE
Senator W. J. Bell Says Friction
In Upper House Is
Probable

Senator W. J. Bell arrived from
Carson this morning, having been
granted temporary leave of absence
until the legislature convened again
next Monday. Interviewed this af-
ternoon in reference to the measures
pending at the sapitol, Mr.. Pei stated
that the railroad bill, which is known
as Senator Boyd's bill, will pass TO
a vote in the assembly about next
Wednesday. After its passage in this
body, for one can announce ewith as
surancee that it will pass the lower
house, il will 60 to the senate about
Friday, where it is to meet its SEN
tcnce whether it MS to become law
or to be snnffed out. h.,n:.ts: Bell
states that there is some anxiety felt
by those favoring the bill that 90
litical issue over tn, measure will be
sprung in the upper house and that
this will cripple the bill, if MT kill
it.
He says some onliticll feeling has
already beer manifested over The
measure and that Republicans are
calling the railroad measure a bill be-
gotten by Democrat. The fact that
the twoprime movers on the commit
tee on railroads are Democrats, that
Democratic caucus was held over
the measure, and that Senator BOYD
has had much to do with the framing
of the bin, has aroused the resentment
of the Republicans, and when Re-
publican caucus was called to consider
the bill not Republican showed up
However, it is believed the bill will
pass the upper house, but that it Will
have small majority, probably of
one.
Speaking of the bill introduced in
the assembly by ssemblyman .Scott~
Senator Bell condemned it and said
instead Of the law being repealed, it
should be strengthened and adequate
provision made for keeping the mis-
demeanor prisoners of Lovelock IT
that place. Under the present law,
no fixed amount is made for this,
which leads to difference in beliefs
between the Lovelock constable and
the commissioners as to the latter
bill for keeping the prisoners.

Three distinct stringers of ore -un-

the supposition is that at slight
depth these stringers converge into a

ers of the property will be realized,
and another good mine evil be aided

The location on the Graz Eagle
group of mines was made early last
summer. Previous to making the To-
cations Lazarro Guiterres had found
some good looking float in the vicin-
ity, and he spent some time in search
ing before the ledge from which the
float issued was found. During the
period Of his search he was aided fl
nancially by the partners in the
claims. An assay of the rock was
made about two months ago and it
was found to run high.

Gray Eagle property has causeed a
rush to the mountain. G. Carly and
