Investigations by "a, interior depart
ment have revealed groes land frauds
in Alaska Arizona. California, Oregon.

the land involved foots up Si1,ssS.SJo.
Gases involving these lands are now
pending either before the federal cour;s
or are in process of investigation before

says that there IS good rea>on TO believe
that every acre of this land. which is in
the hands OF private individuals and
corporations can be recovered
\ Washington dispatch of the 9th has
the following in regard to the Nevada
frauds:
Although there are fewer cases in
Nevada than in any of the states and
territories mentioned. the land involved
is worth Sio.364.oCo. more than half the
entire sum. And the principle involved
in these Nevada cases makes them un-
doubtedly the most important CASES
that have come up for years. II tie
government wins Its contention, the
Hartman lines will b. forced TO dis
gorge thousands of acres of wealthy
land that We're acquired from congress
when the late Senator Stanford OF Cali
forria and his coterie % inancierS
secured the nov famous Central Pacific
land grants by the act Of July =, 1852.
Three hundred and seventy thousand
dollars worth of Nevada lands that are
sought by the government are Royolite
township lands held under mining loca-
tions and the principle involved there
is almost as important As the principle
involved in the Central Pacific suits.
The Rhyolite lands are held by the
"Smelter Trust under miners locations
and II they are secured by the govern.
ment. this will b. the entering wedge

But so. uC1. CO., worth of the Nevada
lands are now in the possession OF the
Central and Southern Pacific railroads
and the suit 10 regain possession of
them will call forth the best energies Of
the Hartman attorneys and the trained
experts OF the government when they
are called in the Nevada courts soon.
Four cases have already been brought
involving lands valued c~ouservarivelv
al $4,000 900. This estimate OF the
value Of the lands is based upon mine-
actually operating on the lands. The
grant 10 Senator Stanford and hi.
associates expressly provided that No

they contained valuable minerals. 4

The A~NTI-GAMBLlNG BILL

The anti. gambling bill was introduced
into the assembly Monday by George
Mcintosh OF Carlin. The bill was
drawn in the Office of Cheney, Massey
& Price, prominent Reno attorneys, and
will doubtless accomplish its purpose if
enacted into law.
On motion of Allen OF Churchill
county, the bill was read the first time,
the second time by title and referred TO
the committee on public morals. Dodge
of Washoa. wanted the bill referred TO
the committee on claims because il
claimed to prohibit gambling in Nevada
when il does not. His motion was
defeated by a large majority II is said
that the committee will report the bill
favorably on Wednesday and that it
will pass the house
If the Nevada legislature is wise this
bill VIII pass both houses and go TO the
governor for his approval At this session.
II il does not. the prohibition of gamb-
ling will be an issue in the next cam
paign and those who are responsible for
its defeat will have TO answer To the
people.
a very large and influential element
in this state Is behind this bill. This
element is in deadly earnest and il will
not rest until licensed gambling games
are driven from Nevada. The issue
will have TO be met two years from now
if the present legislature fails in is
duty 10 the best interests OF the state.
There IS no doubt upon this point. Ii
would, therefore, SEEN that ordinary
wisdom would compel those members
OF the legislature who have political
aspirations, 10 enac the present bill and
by - doing remove the question from
politics This 70 the ordinary mind
seems the right thing for them to do.
From now on until this bill meets
defeat or becomes q law, the members
of the legislature Will be in the lime
light They will be- forced TO rake a
stand either for a higher plane of civic
righteousness OF for a continuance of
the blighting. whitening mrs. OF
licensed gambling. There is no middle
ground upon which they can stand.
The INDEPENDENT IS pleased that
the honor of introducing the bill fell to
Assemblyman Mcintosh Of this county.
He is an old resident of the state and is
thoroughly familiar with the evils this
bill attacks.
We are also pleased 10 know that all
Of Elko county's assemblymen are solid
for the bill, and We hope the senatorial
delegation will be on the right side
when the ena roll is called on the
pAsSlge Of the anti.gambling bill.

DEFEATS WARD AGAIN
Present Executive Wins by Margin
of 81 Votes Over Opponent Of
One Year AGO r.,
PANGBURN REELECTED
First Ward Alderman Wins BY Slim
Majority of One Vote Over
J. A. Johnson

The annual city election was held
Tuesday, resulting in the reelection
of the present mayor, F. E. Minette,
by majority of 81 votes over ]. w.
Ward. w. f. Keller was reelected
city treasurer without opposition. In
first ward VIM. Pangburn was reflect
ed alderman by majority of over
j. A. Johnson. In the second ward
Geo. r. Borgmann was elected alder
man without opposition.
The contest for mayor was a lively
one, inasmuch as the opponents of
year ago, +. E. Minette and J. W.
Ward, were pitted against eoch other
again. The supporters of both candi-
dates worked hard for the men of
their choice all day, two automobiles
and carriage being requisitioned to
carry voters to the polls. A heavy
vote was cast, Ill ballots being regis
tered in the first ward and 290 in the
second. One year ago the first ward
cast 134 votes and the second 299.
The only other contest was for al
derman in the first ward. Here VIM.
Pangburn, the Grand Army veteran,
who has served on the council for
several terms, was opposed by j. A.
johnson, who got into the race on
Monday. Mr.. Pangburn's name was
regularly on the official ballot, while
Mr.. johnson had to make his campaign
by the ''sticker'' and the writing in,
process. Two ballots were thrown
out as irregular by the judges. This
left Mr.. johnson with Is votes and
Mr.. Pangburn with IS, or just one to
spare. The two ballots thrown out
were probably intended for Mr.. John
son but were SO incomplete that the
judges decided not to count them.
Mr.. Borgmann succeeds c. D. Mars
hall on the council, the latter gentle
man having retired voluntarily. Mr..
Marshall has made an excellent alder
man. Mr.. Borgmann will undoubted-
ly serve the city we'll. He is hust-
ling young business man.
Tuesday was a cold, disagreeable
day and along in the middle of the
afternoon snow began to fall. The
weather did not interfere with the
election, however. The automobiles
helped materially in getting the vote
out. Each mayoralty candidate had
machine on duty during the day;
the carriage was working for Mr..
Ward.
On Wednesday evening the city
council canvassed the votes cast atthe
Tuesdays election, with the following
result:
