DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
BECOMES A QUESTION
OF CURRENT ISSUE
Reported that Humboldt Legislative
Delegation will fovorably Consider
Matter at Present Session

1t is reported that the Humboldt del
egation at the state legislature are
agreed that il the citizens of the coun-
ty desire division of the county, that
they will return favorable report 80
the Legislature, upon a bill to that
effect, and the division of Humboldt
county can be effected at the present
sition at Winnemucca to county divi-
sion has materially lessened and if the
southern end desires to withdraw. the
privilege to do so is granted.
Senator w. !. Bell of Winnemucca IS
the directing mind of the northern end
delegation, and he, as recorded in an
interview in the Tribune last summer,
is not opposed to county division. 1t
is said that the northern end of the
county fears the rapidly growing
strength of the southern end, and
would consent now to division of the
county rather than run the chances of
a not remote possibility of the county
seat being moved into the southern
end at some future date.
There is no question but what the
citizens of the southern end of the
county are dissatisfied and would
gladly welcome a division of the coun-
ty, could such division be equitably
and satisfactorily arranged. A com

A sensational strike on the Stoker
lease on the Murray Frampton- Mato-
vich properties in Black canyon, is the
third in series of rich strikes made
by leasers on this property and demon
strates the permanency of the ore vein.
The strike ON the Stoker lease was of
the same character as that made on
the Cruise lease last summer, and the
much more recent one on the Borland
Mccormack lease. All three of these
leases join end lines. On all thhee the
ledge has been crosscut with Il tunnel
and ON all three specimen rock has
been encountered on entering the ore
body.
Specimens of rock from the Stoker
lease were shown in town early in the

A NATIONAL TARIFF COMMISSION

The National Tariff Commission con
vention, which is to meet in lndianap-
oils, beginning on February 16, is of
especial Importance to business men in
general throughout the country, for
more than one reason.
1t will be the first national gather
ing ever held for the cypress purpose
of promoting the movement for COM
prehensive, scientific tariff revision.
1t has called out from President
Roosevelt an expression in favor of a
tariff revision.
And, what is of more direct conse-
quence, it has drawn out note in fa-
vor of the commission from President
elect Taft who will have to deal with
it as practical proposition in the
extra session of congress, which he
will call in March.
Manufacturers and other producers
who need protection at all ought to
get what is required to give them a
fair profit, and at the same time to
guard against all exigencies like trade
disturbances abroad, which might cut
prices of foreign goods down to abnor-
mally low figures, and thus expose our
home producers to destructive compe-
tItion. We need this in the interest of
our workers, and thus of the general
public, as well as in the interest of the
employers.
Then there is the revenue side to
consider. The government needs cash

HAVE STRANGE
EXPERIENCE

While out hunting last week at the
head of the Humboldt lake, Dave and
Sam Pugh, Nathan Green and Steve
Burns, made remarkable discovery,
which would bear investigation from
the Nevada Historical society. In an
old cave near the headwaters of the
lake they found lot of relics. They
brought home with them fully one
hundred arrowheads of various colors.

kets with the barrels eaten away at
the point where they entered the stock.
In addition to this they brought home
the top of "A skull, presumably an
Indian S. There were plenty of these
scattered about the cave, which is fully
so feet long by 40 feet wide and 30 in
height.
The entrance, however, is small, be-
ing about three feet high and twelve
wide, necessitating one S crawling to
get into the cave.
There is an old legend to the effect
that band of Navajo Indians drove a
number of Piutes into the cave and
massacred them. Hence the relics.
The hunters had quite an experience
and portion of this experience as
detailed by Tribune reporter is as
follows:
On inspecting the largest and most
perfect musket, Sam Pugh decided to

proceeded to load it lightly with nine
