RESUM
OF Rose County Local Option Law,
Penalties For Violations.

Penalties For Violations.
Columbus, Sept 15.-A resume Of
the Rose county local option law may
be interesting at this time on ac-
count OF the pendency of many elec-
tions under this act. 1t provides that
whenever thirty-five per cent. of the
qualified electors of any county petit
tion either the commissioners or any
common pleas judge for an election
to determine whether or not the sale
of intoxicating liquors as a beverage
shall be prohibited within the county,
that a special election shall be Or
dered, to be held in not less than 20
nor more than 80 days. The result
of the election determines the policy
of the county on the proposition for
a period of three years.
The penalties for disobeying the
provisions of the act are severe. For
the first offense the fine is not less
than fifty nor more than two hundred
dollars, and for the second or any
subsequent offense is not less than
two hundred nor more than $500.
After the first offense- the premises
where the liquor was sold may be
abated as a nuisance or the owner be
compelled to give $1,000 bond as
guarantee that he will not violate the
law. II he fails to do this he forfeits
the money. The validity of the elec-
-tion may be contested In the probate
court and the decision of that tribunal
is final. This gives the probate Judge
high power. He is the sole arbiter of
the case. In almost every other litiga-
tion and appeal from the lower courts
may be carried up to the Supreme,

SECURE CONTROL
OF RICH LEASE

Another consignment of shipping
grade ore is being prepared at the
famous Truett lease on the estate of
the Coalition Mines company. 1t is
being broken from the Slopes at the
70-foot level and has an average val
ue of about 500 per ton. A large
tonnage is being broken in the
Slopes, one of which has been eX-
tended from level floor to surface.
The greater portion of the ore is be-
ing piled on the dump, only that part
going to the smelter that lis put
through the grizzley and screen. The
dump ore has an average value of
$40 per ton. No attempt is to be
made to ship it until such time as
the Coalition company erects mill,
or more adequate custom mill facili-
ties are established locally.
The control of the Truett lease is
now vested in Messrs. Wingfield and
Nixon of Goldfield, who likewise hold
4 ntrol of the Goldfield consolidated
~Under their direction a more COM
prehensive campaign of development
is to be in force than that marking
the Truett regime. With that OBJ
iect in view the ore body exposed
in the east drift is to be more
thoroughly explored and tests made
of the area lying to the north of the
supposed wall of the ledge. 1t ap
pears probable that the procedure
will demonstrate the presence of pa!
rock in a section hitherto considered
of little value.

ORDERS TO RUSH
WORK ON ROAD

The contracting firm of Shattuck
G Edinger, who have the grading
contract for the Keeler-Mojave road,
are authority for the statement that
they have orders to rush the work
on the line as fast as men and teams
can do it, and they are putting on
larger gangs than ever before, in the
hopes of completing their work to
the end of the line at Keeler by or
before the first of next year. Their
work is already nearly finished as far
as Little Lake, which is only about
40 miles from this end of the road,
and over two-thirds of the distance
up from Mojave, and the track laying
gangs are following close upon their
heels. 1t is this unusual haste which
is giving rise to the assertions that
the entire line will be completed by
the first of the year, and that trains
will be running over the entire dis
lance connecting With main line
trains at Mojave on New Years day.
| The road as contemplated, how
ever, cannot be finished by that time,
and possibly not before the end of
at least another year, because of GER
tain difficult pieces of work that must
be done. One of these is long tun-
mel at Volcano Hill, which in itself
is very difficult task and may re-
quire long time to finish. But for
the immediate present, however, the
company is contemplating tempo
rary switchback over this range
which can be used until the tunnel
is completed, and if this means is
resorted to there is every reason to
hope that the road will be open for
travel by New Years.
At the present time the road is
completed as far as siding 3, which
is about 43 miles out from Mojave
and covers one-third of sthe entire
distance. The work to Little Lake
will be completed in about another
month, which will finish two-thirds
of the distance, and there will be
nearly three months left in which
to build the other and last third
from Little Lake to Keeler. This
however, is the most difficult portion
of the road, and it is in the estima
ton of this part of the work tina
opinions differ
: G. H. Hudson, superintendent o
| the aqueduct commissariat, keep
, closely in touch with this work, be
cause of the interest his company ha
in the transportation of provisions t
) the apueduct camps, and he state,
: this week that they were makin
> their plans in the belief that the roa
/: would be open for business mex
9 January. He said
' "The work to Little Lake is nearl
| completed, and F. S. Edinger tells m
that they are likely to construct
Y switchback over the difficult rang
t in order to finish the work thi
y year."
