ThE GOVERNMENT INSURES
PERMANENT TIMBER SUPPLY
FOR TKEELESS EEGIONs :

Things are appreciated most keeniy
when missed, and people in this country
1 already experiencing pinch in the sup
ply Of timber used tor both construction
AID fuel purposes are saying that they
had little idea of the value of wodd as
neee ssity OF life until compelled to go
ON with scant allowance or made to
exorbitant prices Tor their supply. The
United States has not yet suffered
greatly from the pangs of timber fam
inc, but forest experts and praeticxi
lumbermen who nave studied the situa-
tion say that this country has only Is
to 80 years supply of the best timber
left.
At present, the communities suffering
most from a lack or timber are in those
regions where there is little or no nat
ural growth. The people in these Sec
tlons view the timber situation with
increasing apprehension each year, for,
as rapid as prices of both lumber and
fuel wood rise In cities near the source
OF supply, they rise with even greater
rapidity In the treeless regions.
In the southeast corner of Montana
and the northwest corner of South Da-
kota, there is a section of the country
where there is little tree growth and
where the increasing scarcity of timber
is severely .elt. 1t is fortunate that
the Sioux national forest is located in
TINS section. The area on this forest is
small and there is little commercial tim
Der on it. One would think that it was
OF little consequence, but this is far
from the tact Even this scant forest
growth is OF vitai Importance to the
welfare OF the people ana the economi-
cal development OF the region because
there is no other accessible supply near
or rnan 2u0 miles to the north and east.
settlers are rapidly Gaming into this
region. for their log houses, tor roof
iogs for their "sodies,' and for fence
posts anu 1uei these settlers turn to the
national forest. Here, under the system
OF free use, they may obtain annually
timber TO the vaiue of $40, without a
cnalge OF any kind oy the Government.

lit is naId to tell wLat the region, with
IT'S greatly increasing popuiation, would
DO for timber were it not for the per-
manent supply insured by Uncle Sam.
NOW, every suck is used, and used for
the purpose tor which it is suited. Be-
SIDES caring tor the wise and equitable
use of the present timber, the forest
servise is looking to the future and con-
.inueu supply. he torested area is in

so that the material development of tho

NATIONAL SHOWING
UP WELL

G. b. Holleran, of Goldfield, with his
party, returned from National yester-
day, where he had been to inspect the
property recently bonded by the Mac
millan-Holleran companq, from J. L.
Workman. Sam Gundaker and Mr..
Workman are expected in town some
time tonight, when payment viii be
made on the property and sufficient
money advanced to pay for the devei-
opment work called for by the terms
of the bond. Messrs. Gundaker and
Workman will then return to National,
while Mr.. Holeran will proceed to
Goldfeld.
When seen at the Lafayette today
and asked by Silver State News re-
porter how things were looking at
National, Mr.. Holleran replied:
very good, indeed, considering the
age of the camp. On the Workman
property quartz ledge has been open
ed up for distance Of 700 feet, and
shows up remarkably well. The sur
face indications are excellent, and
while quite number of leasers are at
work on the property, no great amount
of work has been done as yet, owing
probably to lack of sufficient funds"
X. Bradford, who represented Ma
tlonal in the county convention, reports
that on the Harvey lease, the latter
part of the week, at depth of $50
feet in an incline, 4-foot vein Of ore
was encountered that will run from
SO to $50. 1t contains 7-inch streak
of high-g grade tlat will 60 approximate
ly $4,000 to the ton. There are speci-
mems, however, that are nearly pure
gold.
On the Combination lease, in which
Mr.. Bradford is interested, they went
aown 40 feet, and then started cross
cut, and at a distance of between two
or three feet encountered high grade
ore that assayed $4,000 to the ton. A
specimen taken by Bob Montgomery
to Los Angeles assayed 100000 to the
ton.
The ore is found in true fssure veins,
strike north IL degrees west, with q
pitch to the west of so degrees from
horizontal These veins are found in
mineralized andesite having the same
trend.
The Combination has about three
tons of high grade on the dump, sackel !
ready for shipment that will 60 from
$25 to $3.50 per sack, which will be
hauled to Minnemucca ~ soon as
carload is taken out.

'UNTERRIFIED" GO THROUGH
MOTIONS OF NOMINATING A TICKET

Some 80 delegates outside of the
Winnemucca contingent met in conven
tion at the Nixon opera house Wednes
day and went through the motions of
nominating Democratic county ticket.
w. G. Pitt of Lovelock was elected
chairman.
"A noticeable omission was the ab.
sence of a chaplain to invoke the divine
blessing on behalf of the gathering. 1t
is possible that the convention looked
for its inspiration to the opposite
source.
The modus operandi employed was to
place a man in nomination for an
office when he would be laid hold of bv
an escort of two, and marched up to
the platform, where he settled his
assessment with the chairman, and
after assuring the convention that he
liked it, marched down again and re-
sumed his place on the floor. These
preliminaries having been thus salts

dress to the convention Mr.. Ducker
persisted in addressing the gathering
as Gentlemen of the jury and after
he had subsidized and his nomination had
been made by acclamation, an ironical
spectator was heard to remark: "For
once in his life the district attornev
secured verdict, even though it was
by default.
When the Office of county clerk was
reached, Bert Kibbee placed Jim Davey
in nomination, which was seconded by
a delegate claiming to represent the
railroad men. 1T looked like such a
cinch that County Clerk Hill, who had
been cautiously poising for the effort,
made leap for the band wagon By
seconding, or rather thirding, the NOM
ination as "'the present incubus of
the Office Subsequent events, how.
ever, proved that he had missed his
footing and landed in the hearse, which
was trailing close behind, for Roy
