and girls from the high schools, who
crowded the galleries, indicated the in

Much bitterness was manifest when

oeeisatloa Measures.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature. introduced
by Senator Carringer and Represents
tives Clark and Weiser. Senator Car
penter Of the agriculture and irriga-
ton committee called . meeting Of
those interested in irrigation. at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
tion districts agreed to submit their
written opinions to the committee on
the legal phase of the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions will
aid the committee greatly in consider
ing which bill to advocate. The three
bills under consideration Of the COM
mittee greatly concern farmers and the
state n well.
1t Is proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two Of the bills and in the third to
allow owners Of desert and homestead
government lands to come In under the
benefit Of irrigation districts. while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because 1t
would give . more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance Of state lands into irrigation
districts. It 10 backed by the Land
board. which in one county has 10000
acres Of land entered. The value Of
the land to the state IL increased te-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits Of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
land just ~ it would tax any other
land held by . member of the district,
thereby adding to the revenue OF the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district. al
though not becoming q member upon
the same footing as other members of

IN NEW CAMP

Joe Maracci, Of Goldfeld, who
has been on a visit to the new Ban
mock district, passed through Tono-
pah Tuesday enroute to his home
at Goldfeld. He says that he has

AS he describes it, the values are
found simply in a pocket of very
rich rock, without the presence of .

which is traceable for any distance
He says the rich pay streak which
gave rise to reports from the dis
trict, measured no more than seven
inches at the bottom of the pros
pect hole in which the discovery
was made, and that other parties
who have sunk to a depth of 25
feet within a very short distance OF
where the rich strike has been en-
countered, cannot find the slightest
trace of gold.

says the rock shows the free gold
in goodly quantities, but the alb

judgment against the find, and in
