ALL EYES ON NEvADA'S LEGISLATURE
Mining and Engineering Review

Mining and Engineering Review
1t is scarcely to be conceived that the legislature of Nevada will ait to n
act sch laws as will give protection to the leading industry of the state. The
body is called together in extra session in circumstances that demand action.
Esueradac county, in which are located the mines that are threatened with indef-
Importance to the welfare of the whole people. Apart from consider
lions of right and wrong, and the obligations resting upon the state to protect
all its citizens in the conduct of their business, it is imperative that the mem
bers of the legislature divest themselves of prejudice, steel themselves against
political influences nd proceed to % the thing that is necessary. Yeti is under
stood that there ire senatorsan and assemblymen- who ire opposed to action in the
desired because of political reasons. They will be subjected to strong
pressure by representatives of labor, who are present at Carson in force. Union
labor Of the state asks that 10 steps be taken to police Goldfeld, because the
Miners Union at Goldfeld is involved, and presumably could not win its strike
if lot permitted to resort TO those methods which the law does not sanction
In this it is apparent that the representatives of labor att Carson ar wrong, and
the legislators car scarcely fail 20 know that fact If they are turned from
their duty it will be because they are amenabe to improper influences, for the
duty is plain.
As a contributor to the wealth of the state Esmeralda county is at the head of
the list. It collected and paid into the state treasury more bullion tax than any
other county In fact it paid seventenths of all the tax collected from this
source its quota being 1885,, 50326. The county pays more money into the treas
uy for special licenses and liquor licenses than any other county, and nearly
twice as much as any other county except INT
In addition, not only is Esmeralda county nw a large supporter # the
state government, but she is just starting upon the period of her greatest pro-
ductivity. If permitted to operate her mines she will double her output of
1907 in the present year. Last year u Of 365 days her mines were idle 100 days
of the state. Without them there would be no move forward f4om the lethargic
conditions of the past twenty years. To permit any band If men to arrest the
growth of the state by threats of violence would be a crime.

GOLDEN ARROW

There is increasing activity in the
Kawich country as a result OF the an
nouncement of the extension or the
railroad from Ely to Tonopah and GOLD
field. saws the Tonopah Miner. The sur
vey of this line passes through Golden
Arrow. Bellehelen and Clifford. and the
road would greatly benefit all of these
camps. which now have developed a
large tonnage of ore which could De
Skinned If proper transportation facfli-
ties were at hand.
The Kawich Consolidated Mining COM
pany last year uncovered eight veins on
its property and found good values In IL
different places. The work Tor this
wear will consist in sinking on the
lodges which show the best values. The
development so far has proven the ex-
istence of plenty of milling ore and the
indications are favorable to finding
shipping ore with depth.
The shaft on the Cotter mine Is down
225 feet and the values are holding out,
demonstrating the fact that the lodges
of the district carry permanent values
with depth. This company intends TO
eouip. the property in the near future
with a hoist and mill.
The Colder Arrow Mining company
has five shafts from so to 10 feet deep,
with considerable drifting on the Page
vein. All of this work is in milling ore,
and some rich ore has been encountered,
which augurs we'll for the future OF the
mine.
Taken all in all, the outlook for the
Golden Arrow district is very bright
and promising.

The Nevada-California Power COM
pany this week notified Captain Hassell,
chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
municipal committee. of a reduction in
meter rates to go into effect imme-
diately. The new schedule makes a re-
duction of about 25 per cent from the
previous rates and applies only to me-
ter users, the fiat rate being the sam
as heretofore. which will probably in
duce everyone to install meters.
