their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in

The information available on the

While Mr.. Pheby declined to dis

A sharp comparison was drawn by
Mr. Moss of conditions past and

dry in the west had attained its
growth. The grievances of the flock
master. who under the conditions
imposed by the officials of the ma
tional forestry bureau has been dis
possessed of a free range off from
which he realized immensely profit
abe returns: who complains of the
heavy feeding expenses during the
winter months: the complaints of
alleged discrimination in the matter
of apportionment of summer range;
dissatisfaction over so called red tape
measures and the ever recurring dan
ger of forfeiting his lease We're
some of the conditions which Mr..
Moss declared he had investigated
and inquired into with the view of
presenting the sheepmen S side of the
controversy to the nttional assoeia-
ton.
Il would suggest, said he. that
there he appointed from each west
ern state in which such forestry
reservations are located, by the gov
ernor of each state. a non-partisan
committee consisting of three men
whose range knowledge and business
record should be a part of their
qualification for such position. and
that the forestry service should also
appoint one member of such board,
making the full board consist of four
members that said board shall be
vested with power to appoint all en-
ployes, to remove them for cause, to
hear all complaints and endeayor to
make amicable settlement where pos
sible to do so. thus avoiding the
nessity of court expenses, The term

i'm hand for some time.
The association of the name of MIR.
lIernheimcr with the new railroad
enterprise lets in some very interest
ing light. He il known as a million
aiIe who has expended large sums
of money in the development of
properties in the Tybo and Reveille
districts, and as an associate of the
Schwab, Gillies. Malcolm Mcdonald
crowd. all more or less affiliated with
Amalgamated and Cole-Ryan inter-
ests.
Mr. Bernheimer's active associa-
tion with Nevada mining interests at
present is as vice president of the
Nevada Smelling & Mines Co This
company holds the big lead-silver
properties of Tybo and Reveille. In
terested in these are Messrs. Schwab,
Mcdonald. Gillies and associates.
These same gentlemen are also inter-
ested in Tonopah properties, and il is
fact very worthy of consideration
that Mr.. Smith is very heavily inter-
ested there. having the West End.
MacNamara properties, all large pro-
ping their ores to Salt Lake, a haul
that is several hundred miles longer
than will be that from Tonopah to
Ely district.
From this ii will be gathered that
the arrangement for the construction
of the new road Is one that all the
parties at interest are concerned with
from the standpoint of actual service
desired for the benefit of mines they
have; also that this service would not
be complete without the presence
here of a custom smelter, equipped
not only for copper and gold ores but
also with lead stack And it may
be mentioned that lead stack in
operation in this district would bring
about boom in the development of
nearby lead territory and in the re-
sumption of production by many old
time lead properties that would mean
great deal in the matter of increas-
ed mining activity in big area of
nearby territory, including Hamil-
ton, Cherry Greek and a number of
other camps.
In connection with the association
of Mr.. Bernheimer with the new deal
1t will be recalled that Bert Rusk.
superintendent of the Bernheimer
properties at Tybo and Reveille. and
Charles Kirchen, general manager
were here last summer 1t is also
significant that Mr.. kirchen is "a
brother of the general manager of
the big Montana and the Tonopah Ex-
tension mines at Tonopah and the
Montgomery Shoshone at Bullfrog.
These gentlemen were here for the
ayowed purpose of sizing up the sit
uation and to inspect the route of
the railroad survey between the city
and Tonopah They visited Hamil-
ton, Muncy and practically every
other mineralized district along the
way, and It is known that their visits
to these We're for the purpose of ex-
amining properties with intention of
acquiring holdings all along the line
of the proposed railroad. The con-
elusion to be reached. In the light of
late developments, is plain.
