by Theodore Tobiish, who managed
Springmeyer' campaign IN the recent

he will start the contest proceedings.
The final count as announced on
Monday by the secretary Of state,
shows Springmeyer to be 65 votes
behind Baker. The contest will
probably call for recount of the
votes cast in Washoe, Esmeralda,
Nye and Clark counties, although
the entire ballot from every county
may be counted. The expense OF
the recount will have to be met by
Springmeyer and the work will be
done by secretary of state. Jno. w.

Expressing His Views On The Anti
Gambling Aet--Thouoht DIFF

Justification OF the position takea
by District Attorney Augustus Tildsa.
says the Goldfield Tribune, concern
Ing the use OF slot machines under
the new gambling law was had yss-
terday when Attorney General Sted-
dard In letter addressed to Mr..
Tilden, admitted that the local man
had the right on his side In stating
that slot machines as opeated here,
did not come under the law.
The following IL the opinion rsA-
dered to District Attorney Tilden:
Again referring to the question -
to whether or not slot machines mag
be lawfully maintained for the pur-
pose of playing for drinks or cigars
which was a matter of correspon-
dence some weeks ago, beg leave
to advise that have carefully consid-
cred the views then entertained by
you to the effect that the parucu-
lar enactment In Section | Of the
Act OF March "a. 1910, declaring II
to be unlawful Ito play, maintain
or keep any slot machine played fog

In my opinion Of this office rsn-
dered to the governors office sset

not given the full consideration 1t
deserved as 1t was necessary ct that
time to dispose OF the question ~

ate attention.
AN examination OF the authorities
leads me to conclude that the above

clear, this Is to advise you that tAis

so that the same may be In accord

LAW Is UNJUST AND
eHOULD BE AMENDED

One of the things the next legis-
lat ire should do. and do it quickly,
is to amend the present law requi--
ing that all corporations doing bust
ness in Nevada shall annually publish
In some daily paper of the state
statement of their operations for
the preceding year. There is no
mere reason for the publication OF
these statements in daily news
paper than there is for the publica-
ticl of other legal notices In daily
ne gspapers solely. And the discrim-
ination against the weekly papers
is unfair and unjust Evidently the

GREAT DITCH PROPOSITION
Dry Greek Property Is Declared by Surveyor Davidson to Be One
 of Best He Has Seen

The ditch proposed by MT. Will jams is IS miles long and will take it's water from the Little Delta. For it's entire length it will run through solid rock and gravel. There are thousands of acres of bearing gravels in the vicinity from which gold can be banned, and the gold is of the substantial kind that stays in the pan. On the other side of the hill from the Williams property, on Por- tage creek, several men have been working for five years shoveling in and making money. This is in the same character of ground as oc- CUTS on Dry creek.
 The ditch will have fall of feet to the mile and it is figured that 5000 inches of water could be secured by turning in the current of the Little Delta. The ground in sight, it is es- timated, would take hundred years to work out and should yield vast amount of money.
 MT Davidson started from here on August 25 and returned yester- day. He reports having seen lots of sheep and other game in the coun- try and that there is quantities of

OCCURS
 AT OLIVES
TOUCH FIGHT TOOK PLACE ON SATURDAY NIGHT IN
 POOlROOM.
MAN HAS SKULL CRACKED
Dave NageI Is Laid Up At Chatani- ka With Badly Damaged Head piece and Ole Olson Will Be Be- fore Commissioner Here Today.

With a crack in his skull about three-quarte"s of an inch long and a half inch wide, Dave Nagel, a res ident of the creeks, walked eight miles from Olnes to Chatanika on Saturday night and got Dr. Danforth to make the repairs necessary. The accident is said to have been the result of somewhat heated alter cation between the injured man and time is in the calaboose at Chat anika awaiting transportation to Fairbanks. where he is scheduled to tell Commissioner Dillon all about it some time today.
 The trouble occurred about mid night Saturday in Jim Morgan's s poolroom at Olnes. While no deti- mite account of the fuss can be se- cured it is gathered that Nagel was struck with some blunt instrument blow with sufficient force to cause the injury described He did not even drop to the ground, but was knocked helpless. So that Olsen would not get into any more trOu- ble, someone is said to have hit him over the head with a bottle. As soon as he could Nagel started off and walked to Chatanika and saw the doctor. He is now at Shorty Smyser's place and the doctor says so far there is no sign of any pres sure on the brain and that he hopes for the best although such injuries are always dangerous. At first Nagel did not want to give anything out in regard to the trouble or make any complaint, but the news of the affair leaked out and Deputy Marshal Snipes went to Olnes and arrested Olsen, who is a teamster located in that burg. It is understood that neither of the men had been drink ing at the time.

CharacteriZing it as one of the most ideal mining propositions that he ever saw, Surveyor c. E. David son returned yesterday from trip to the Dry Creek district property owned by E. A Williams, which he went out to make a survey of. It is MT. Williams intention to com mence work on this proposition on large scale just as soon as the necessary preparations can be made In the meantime he is going out side to study hydraulic mining and purchase the necessary plant for the working of the ground.
 Dry creek is between 30 and 35 miles from the mouth of the Little Delta. It is about 75 miles long and heads into the Alaska range, emptying into the Panama flats above the Salchaket To get to it it is necessary to go to the Little Lelta and cross the hills. MT. Davidson says that these gravel hills are from 1000 to 1900 feet high. The forma- tion is schist and porphyry. A dike crosses the heads of all of the small creeks in which granite is found all through the gravel.

IDITAROD OUTPUT $6OO,OOO

That the output for the summer In the Iditarod will be in the neighbor hood of half a million dollars, Is the belief of John Roman, who arrived steamer Tana on Saturday night MT. Roman estimates the output for the summers operations at between three and four hundred thousand dollars and that from the winter dumps at about one hundred.
 One of the best buys yet made in the Iditarod, says MT. Roman, has just been effected by Dave Cascaden, who, for S50,000, purchas' ed the whole of creek at the head of the Iditarod The cash consider ation was only $500 and already ex cellent prospects and some pay has been found. Dave is being congrat- ulated by all of his friends.
 Roman X Thorns have a 1 100O-foot lay on the Bonanza group, on Flat creek. This adjoins the ground be- ing operated by George Friend, Law son and Bennett James, which Is running from 8 to SS to the foot. They propose to opencut the ground but as yet do not know how wide their paystreak is, although they have to think it is wider than anti cipated In one hole they have sunk they have found pay running $S to the foot and are more than satis- fled with the outlook.
 The strike recently reported from the Kuskokwim was made on the headwaters of that river, about 40 miles from Iditarod City. Several creeks are prospecting fine and pay has been found on some.
 MT. Roman expects to leave for the new camp again on the last trip of the Minneapolis, about the 25th of the month.
