BUILDING STONE
NEAR PIOCHE

John R. Cook and John G.
Brown have located a quarry Of
fine building stone near Bullion
vile. The composition of this
stone is pure SILICA and of a very
soft substance. 1t can be cut by
saving with ease, and tests have
been made showing it to be very
durable and suitable for build
ing purposes. The locators in
tend to quarry this rock out in
large quantities and haul same
to Bullionville, where water
power will be used to cut it into
the sizes desired. They claim
that it can be delivered at Phoebe
much cheaper than brick.
Messrs. Cook and Brown have
plans drawn for a large two
story building which will be
erected on the lot Immediately
north of the Hodges-Cook Mer-
camille establishment, and will
be constructed out of this ma
terial.

Magnificent samples of this ore
are being shown at the Office of
the Phoebe Brokerage company.
A contract for the sinking of
a 100 foot shaft on the Revenue
No. 3 has been let and the work
is now under way. The incor-
porators and owners are very en-
thusiastic concerning this prop
erty, and being men who have
had a large experience in the
handling of mines and develop
ing producers, their opinion is
sure to carry weight with the
mining public. One thing alone
which would bring attention to
these claims is the location, lying
as it does, Immediately south of
the greatest copper mines in Ne

NEVADA MINERAL
COMMISSIONER

The United States land office
has officially recognized the
newly created Office of mineral
commissioner for the state of
Nevada. This act of the de-
partment goes further than the
mere throwing open certain rec

means that the government ex-
poets to work largely in har-
mony with the state to protect
the prospector and miners of the
state against the patenting of
lands under non-mineral and
similar evasions when they are
mineralized.
At present there is an inves-
tigation going on by the govern
ment of alleged violations of the
law in regard to patents.
Further as relating thereto the
following letter, written by the
commissioner to the land office
at Carson City, is reproduced as
expressing the views of that of
fetal:
"Sirs: Your attention is called

Lincoln County to Re-

them the proposition of the bond
holders that have those bonds in
judgment, and it is more than
likely that the board will accept

raised as to whether refunding
acts are constitutional, and we
cite two cases: Esser VS.. Spauld-
ing in the 17th Nevada reports
and Thompson VS.. Turner, a case
tried before Judge Talbot in Lin
coin county. This case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court and
the decision of Judge Talbot sus-
tanned, holding refunding acts
constitutional. Under the pres

bright future of Lincoln county,
we believe that no better terms
can be had than those proposed
to the board at their last meet.
