Prot. Geo. B. csek

With the first announcement stating the candidacy of Prof. Geo. B. Cook. of Garland County for the office of State Superin- tendent of Schools, subject to the ac2ion of the Democratic c primary election, The Sentinel Record of Hot Springs makes the following editorial comment which, aside from being a strong endorsement from the home town of Prof. Cook, IS interest inf as a brief ou tline of his school work in Arkansas:
 Nearly twenty years ago, a young Kentuckian, armed with the best of certificates, diplomas, college and university honors and personal recommendations. ap. piled for the position of super intendent of the Hot Springs public schools. This man was George B. Cook. He went to work and secured the position by his own force of character.
 This was seventeen years ago and today the same man contin- ues in this position. While he was gradually building up in city and country a splendid school system, he was. also, wid. ening his field of activities. He became one of the leading edu, cators of the state and :has be- come prominent among the school men of the nation.
 At last, supported almost without expression by all who have been active in holding the public scoool system of Arkan. sas, he has announced as candi. date for State Superintendent. This means that the next state superintendent will be a Gar. land County man, and it further means the office will be filled by a man who will make good a man of whom not only Garland County, but the entire state may be proud"

 How can yon refuse support to an organization, which by pre- ventive and educational meas ures, is striking to remove or render harmless the pitfalls so thickly spread for tripping the unwary feet? Sisters, the on ward march of the white ribbon army means childhood protected, womanhood emancipated, man. hood purified and the whole race ennobled. Will you stand in the way of such a glorious conSuma- tion? No. No. But casting aside all ancient prejudice and unwor- thy fears fall in with the moving columns, and while life shall last, with your heart and life attuned to Gods great purpose, march with free, glad step to the mu- sic of the reformation of the world. Sister, if your heart is as our hearts give us your hand, " give us your name, your prayers and your labors, for no matter who you are or what your station in life may be; you cannot afford to remain out of the white ribbon army.

IN MARBLE DEPOSITS

E.. L.. Passmore. an expert in the en-
ploy of one of the largest marble and
granite firms of Vermont, was in Gold
field this week. He thinks Nevada's
wealth is not altogether in her mines of
gold, silver and copper.
Nevada is likely to prove a treasure
house for those who hunt rock without
mineral" said Mr.. Passmore. There
is no question of your having marble
deposits in Nevada that can be quarried
to great advantage. if properly taken
hold of. The trouble with marble prop
critics generally is the lack of experience
among the w~orkingmen, prevents the
blocking out of stock big enough for
general use. The most of the time
people try to ship marble taken out
almost on the surface, which almost in
variably crumbles. and which is not
good for building purposes and which
will not stand exposure. Properly
mined. Nevada marble would find a wide
market"

Vernon, New, June 9th. 1907

Vernon, New, June Sth, 1917.
To the Editor:
There are several questions at the
present time with relation to mining
claims in the state of Nevada, for which
official authority is absolutely neces-
sary. Among others:
Whether a prior locator has the adj
vantage of a subsequent locator in the
way of defining his boundaries, suppos-
ing he does not have his survey made
in the first place. A prior locator, for
instance. has his claim running north
easterly and southwesterly, $50 feet
each way, along the course Of the lode
or vein. A subsequent locator estab-
fishes a in an opposite direc-
ton and desires to have a survey made,
while the prior locator has not the
means to make a survey at the time
of location. or within ninety days from
the date of said location. After the
subsequent locator has had the survey
made and his posts established, can the
prior locator nave a survey made and
run across the boundaries of the sub
sequent locator, in which a considerable
portion of the latter's claim is forfeited?
There are many cases which we find
III tIio l III niitb -
found and no notices contained therein;
also posts of the regulation size On
which there are no notations. Are these
in which no notices can be
found to govern, when a locator states
that they are the monuments of his
claim? And how can a satisfactory sur
vey be made?
If a location notice Is stated as rum
ming northeasterly and southwesterly,
can the course in a transit line be de-
fined as any point between north and
east? For instance; north. no degrees.
one minute east: north. SO degrees n
SO minutes east? I do not understand
wherein a course northeasterly should
not run any point between north n
east.
There Is an idea prevailing in this
district, as we'll as many other dis
tricts in the state of Nevada, that as
long as $40 cubic feet of work have been
lone in connection with the location
work. such work constitutes a valid
location within the meaning Of the law.
and 1t is immaterial whether the work
is 10 feet long, 6 feet deep and 4 feet
wide. or 10 feet deep, 6 feet wide. and 4
feet long.
The law states tina a vein must be
exposed In place, but as the whole
country is mineralized, and in this es-
pecial part Of the district there are
simply a series Of blind lodges. It is
almost impossible to expose the vein
or lode in order to literally comply with

luLIlN0 PLANT
oTE1o HOIST

The plant of hosting machinery for
the Otero property, recently purchased
at Goldheld from lessees on the At
lanta estate. is now being installed at
that promising East Manhattan mining
acreage High grade ore continues to
associate with development of the ore
bodies discovered at nominal depth by
Superintendent Sheppard. and as the
quartz is showing sulphides the per-
manency of these deposits at depth is
practically assured. Quite a onnag
of high class mill ore is piled on dump
and will go to stamp in the near future.
By careful sorting no inconsiderable
portion of the rock on dump could be
brought vi to shipping grade. The man.
agement, however, deems It best to es-
tablish a uniform milling grade and
have the tonnage treated locally.
