Trying to Gust Boss Blakeslee

Reno Journal Some of the real wise politicians are talking
about the attempt made about three weeks ago to GUST Ia A.
Blakeslee $ agent, political and otherwise, for the Southern Pacific
in Nevada
Blakeslee, be it known, has no primrose path upon which TO
tread in his political in-comings and outgoings. He is called upon
very frequently to run the hand car over the form of some one-tlme
friend, and the way he does it always leaves that particular friend
aattened out for nearly all time to come.
Blakeslee handled the winnemucca convention without gloves.
He was johnny at the rat hole " every time any one tried to start
something, and the result is that he got himself cordially hated
He has done worse things than fix a convention, say his enemies,
but however these enemies hate Blakeslee, they are not for any
enforcement of the Southern Pacific and the Republican party, not
by any means, they simply want to down Blakeslee.
About three weeks ago a joint round robin memorial was sent
to w. F. Herrin, who is the political head of the Southern Pacific
machinery, in which the absence of virtue, honor, responsibility and
every other quality, including the efficiency of Blake" was alleged,
so that Boss Herrin was worried, for he knew a good many OF the
signers we're Senator Nixon's close personal and political friends, and
he put the whole matter up to Nixon to decide.
The doughty little Senator looked it over and without comment
he sent back his refusal to endorse the attempt to lay Blakeslee on
the shelf. Since that time there has been a sort of quaky feeling in
the shoes of several wouldbe political rulers in Nevada and
Blakeslee is going right along, fixing up things to suit the company
and incidentally trying to harmonic some of the very men who
wanted his scalp.
This is the story they are telling now. What the version will
be when the Goldfeld convention is over is an entirely different
thing. The lesson has not been lost on Blakeslee, however, and he
not half as cock sure about who will be who at Goldfeld as he
about the Winnemucca gathering.

Sothern Divorce Case the Shame Of Nevada

Under the above heading the Sacramento Bee has the following
to say editorially on the divorce laws of the State of Nevada:
The actions of E. III. Sothern and wife, Virginia Harmed, the
actress, in Nevada, should open the eyes of the decent people of
that State to the fact that its divorce laws need considerable
amendment.
If Mrs. Sothern can get a divorce from her husband under the
circumstances under the charge she has filed in view OF the fact
that he and she have evidently consulted over the matter, and that
the case has been amicably fixed between them; in view OF the
secret, faxed and morally if not legally fraudulent illegal residence
Mrs. Sothern has acquired as a prelminary-then the State OF
Nevada should hang her head in shame, and go and hide it with the
Dakotas.
Mrs. Sothern and her husband have been in Reno talking 1t
over. She is to get a divorce on "incompatibiity of temper" with
his full consent and connivance. Any idea she may have had to
name an actress is said to have been blocked by his threat that, IL
she did. he would name a New York millionaire. So they have
evidently agreed to keep their own shame from the world, and to
place all the shame of the whole proceeding upon the devoted head
of our sister State of Nevada
And it will be to the shame of Nevada If such a divorce is
granted under such circumstances, and in the face OF such COLLISION
"a shame which can be wiped out only when Nevada grasses the
stains on her statute books and provides a wholesome, and clean
and decent divorce law.

TO REDUCE THREE DOLLAR ORE.
New Process For Handling Sui
phide Ores Claimed to Have
Been Discovered

A recent Goldfield. Nevada. dispatch
says A discovery Of vastly greater i'm
portance than the finding Of gold In
Goldield or the unearthing Of fabulous
mountains of high grade is announced
by Manager Jack Mckenzie Of the Con-
solidated Mines Company through the
discovery Of o method Of treating sui
phide ores that insures the extraction Of
80 per cent Of their precious contents
without having to roast the ores. The
latter form of treatment is used to-day
all over the world. and no later than
last week one OF the greatest mill ex
perts of the country predicted that the
Goldield mills would be failures owing
to the fact that the management had
not made any provisions for roasting
the ores.
Manager Mckenzie does not attempt
to conceal the process. which is pro-
tected by patent. bot takes pride in tell
ing the results Of the experiments that
were conducted before the process was
fully determined.
By mean OF this discovery pre- run.

at a profit. Every mine can treat its
own ore, and every miner with q little
capital can install a plant that will rem.

railroads.

Quoted through the Kinkead mill. and
those who had charge Of the plant
showed no desire to hide any Of the
results obtained on a large scale. In
the presence of half a dozen men high
up in met illurgy. as well as in mining
circles, one declared
1--WE have it to a certainty, and
there will be no further need to talk
with the smelter trust. as the products
of our mines can be reduced at the
shaft and the bullion shipped to the mint.
1t is the greatest discovery that has
been made in extracting gold from
quartz since the Macarthur Forrest
process was discovered"
The new process is q wonderful step
in the forward movement of metallurgy,
and especially in the treatment Of re.
fractory ores without roasting. As one
Of experience both in mining and gold

Will Smelt Sulphide Ores

Salt Lake Tribune July 81: By the
18th of August the management of the
United States Smelling, Refining &
Mining Company will place in COM
mission the battery of roasters at the
Bingham junction smelter.
There is nothing of the remarkable
in that simple statement to the world
in general, but to the mining centers Of
Utah it means volumes. IL means that
the United Statss Company will be
ready to receive heavy sulphide ores,
with which many mines of its custom
ers are clogged. and for which there is
not a market at present. The United
States Company is now operating three
furnaces on oxidized ores. but the pre-
dominating ores of the State are sui
phides. The intended step. therefore.
means a sale for ore that has been ig'
nored in the mines of the State for
nearly a year.

Nevada Officials On Anxious Seat

Carson News; Things are bidding in many OF the official
families of the State of Nevada all because of a little paragraph in
the Nevada Railroad law which forbids State, county, district and
municipal officers of Nevada from holding any passes or free trans
portation IN any of the commonc carriers of the State, and providing
a fine r Imprisonment and also the vacating of the Office OF the
offender. Some way the little section appears to have been over
looked by the assiduous office holders in some parts of the State,
and consequently when a chance was discovered to annex a little
piece of pasteboard insuring a quick, safe and easy transportation,
the aforesaid chance was eagerly accepted. Now the common
carriers are sending in their reports to the Railroad Commission OF
the State, and in that report it is necessary for the companies to
state who holds passes, along with other information.
Under the State law any State, district, county or municipal
officer who holds a pass is liable to a heavy fine or Imprisonment
also the possession and using of it, ipso facto vacates the office
which he is holding in the State, district, county or municipality
The latter phase is one which is rubbing.

JOINT COULD HARTMAN TRACKS
Arr.nsins a Double System For Many

Miles Through Neveds
Wells, Nevada, July 3o.-The West
ern Pacific is building Q "shoofly," or
temporary road over Flower Lake Pass
in order to hurry the laying OF racks
to Wells from the East. IL Is INTENDED
to have track down this far BY the and

This makes it evident that the West

to q point where it can carry its own
rails and supplies to the front instead
of shipping over the Southern Pacific.
The Western and Southern are jointly
grading sections of roadbed along the
Humboldt Valley from Wells west to
Winnemucca, and this cooperation

double track, and it 10 the belief that
they will be used jointly as such by the

Marriage, Divorce, Death Valley and He'll

Goldfeld Chronicle The State of Nevada, after generations of
Statehood, is still on the frontier, and more popular as a divorce
center even than South Dakota used to be. In Nevada one may find
salve for every marital infelicity, for our judicial machinery operates
in striking contrast to the domestic discord which it so rapidly
sradicates. No matter how many marriages are made in heaven,
Nevada is willing to establish a record for severing the bond. In
the West we are great on records it matters little what kind Of
records, however. California, for instance, has the record of never
having convicted the murderer of an editor.
Possibly there is some excuse for the State OF Nevada, since a
scientist has discovered that He'll underies Death Valley. If we
are 10 near the brink of fire and birthstone, we may at least console
ourselves with the knowledge that we shant have very far to travel
when this life departs.
Meantime, in an effort to escape punishment by our sins and
not for them, as Ebert Hubbard says, wouldn't it be a good idea to
change our divorce laws just a little?
