TRIBUTE TO GENERAL KELLY

At a special meeting of the Nevada
Historical Society held Saturday, the
following resolutions of respect to
the memery of the late General
Kelley. president of the society, were
adopted;
In the City of Carson. on the
morning of March Is. 1908, Edward
Davidson Kelley. the president OF this
society. passed from earth. In spite
of his long illness. the society had
hoped to enjoy his leadership for at
least another year, and that a partial
recovery of health might enable him
to record for the society and for the
state much of his valuable detailed
knowledge of our early history as
commonwealth. Within the past
three months efforts were made In
this direction. but General Kelley was
too feeble to dictate consecutive
narritave.
1.-The loss of man so noble IN
character. so generally respected as
General Kelley and SO warm friend
and supporter of this society deserves
from his survivors in charge of the
State Historical society an appropri-
ate recognition"

DESERT CLAIMS ARE
NOT TO BE ASSESSED
General Land Office Makes Important
Ruling TO Guard Against Fraud.

SALT LAKE, April 4.-The land
office has just been notified OF two
new laws passed by congress during
the present session relative to desert
lands. Significant in the new rules,
that go into effect Immediately, is
the regulation which will hereafter
forbid all persons assigning their
claims on desert lands to corporations
and associations. Land frauds have
been prevalent in the past, and con-
gress evidently intends to prohibit
further exploiting of the public do
main. Desert entries on unsurveyed
lands have been prohibited.
The right of second entry was ex-
tended to include desert entries just
about two months after congress
passed law permitting second home
stead entries. The new law permits
those people who have legitimately
lost their first entry to take up land
and make a second entry. AS in the
case of homestead entries, the per-
son making second filing must re-
port complete details of the first en-
try. In case the first entry has been
disposed of for consideration, or 1t
has been lost through fraud, sec
ond entry is not permissible.
The wording in the act relative
to desert land entries Is exactly the
same as that used in the act per-
hitting second homestead entries.
All rules applying to second home
stead entries will apply with equal
force to desert land entries.
Though protecting the country
from monopolies of desert lands. con-
gress is generous with the individual.
The act provides that the commits
sioner of the general land Office may
extend the time limit for improving
desert lands for a period not exceed
ing three years This new ruling
has been made in order to assist
those persons who, because OF I'M
avoidable delays, have not been able
to cultivate their land. Failure, or
rather lack of success, in bringing ir-
rigating water upon the fling, If JUS
| tilted by proper excuse, will be con-
sidered ample cause for an extension
of time.
Lands in unsurveyed districts of
the United States have been eomplet-
ly withdrawn from desert entries.
The law provides, however, that a
person who has already made filing
upon desert lands and whose filing is
compact and not greater than 800
acres in extent, shall be given pref
erence to file upon the desert lands
when certified plat of the unsur-
veyed section shall have been filed
in the local or general land office.

The narrow mouth of the canyon,
with room for little more than team

those animals which were in the
worst condition. These they turned
up the canyon to get will or die. In
case they got well they could be pick

The canyon itself came into prom

ground were discovered, several
claims staked off and the water right

an animal burying ground.
