John HAYS HAMMOND ON.
ON INDICATING

John Hays Hammond is generally
conceded to be the head of all the
worlds mining engineers. Recently
in New York he was interviewed on
the subject of validating, and here
IL what he had to say:
There should be some drastic leg
isiation ON the question OF flotation
of mining companies. Before flotation
exhaustive reports of mining engi-
neers should be published and COM
panies should also be compelled to
2ub.ish monthly reports of their fl
naucial status, ore reserves etc.
81 have great faith in the safety
Of good mining Investments, he con
tinued, but as to those which are
not so good | hold out the red flag
of danger. Such companies ought to
print skull and cross bones on their
rrospectuses as is done on poison la
bells
Ire last legislature of the state
did pass bill which will aid mater
Tally in driving this element from the
commonwealth. The new law makes
il compulsory upon mining com
panies to furnish stockholders with
semi annual reports and these re-
X rts must be filed with the county r,
cofder and secretary of state. A fail
ure to dc so subjects officers of the
delinquent corporation to heavy fine
or Imprisonment, or both.

LINES THAT DON'T COUNT.

Once upon time it was general
ly assumed that the boundary be-
tween Nevada and California was
line of demarcation, separating argen-
tiferous from auriferous formations.
But this has been proven an error
by the development of the gold camps
in Nevada and the opening of silver
mines in California.
The magnificent production OF the
Comstock down in the superheated
depths, coupled with the pinching Of
the mother lode at comparatively
shallow depths was esteemed another
logical difference between the states.
Lut this was also found to be errone-
Gus.
Exploration work at greater depth
proved that the great lode on the
western slope of the Sierra was con-
tinuous toward the bowels of the
earth; while it has only recently been
demonstrated that the noble metals
exist below the 1000-foot level at both
Goldfield and Tonopah.
In tie days Of old, the days Of forty
nine California was placer mining
state. Gold in this form was not
known to exist in Nevada, but the de-
velopments at Golconda, Spring val
ley, Manhattan, lone and Round Moul
tain have proven differently After
all, Mother Nature has little respect
for man-made imaginary boundary

FROM SENATOR NIXON.

Senator Nixon has directed a COM
n,unication t othe editor OF the Reno
Gazette defining his position on the
Nevada primary law. Here is what
he says:
II have noticed several articles re-

alive to possible test of the con-
stitutionality Of the law known as the
primary election law which was pass
ed by the last legislature, and in
all Of these articles eminating from
the Democratic press, my name has
been mentioned as the party inter-
ested in having the law declared UNI
constitutional.
While l am not in the habit of
paying much attention to criticism of
tkis character, | have decided to
make the following statement:
The law as it now reads cannot
legally determine the result of the
senatorial contest; that power only
being in the hands of the legislature
Of the state, therefore, personally,
have no interest whatever as to
whether the law remains on the stat
ute books as it is now reads or Is
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court.
i will add, however, that | always
have been and am now willing to ac-
oept the same conditions that are
melted out to others, and in the APP
preaching campaign, whether we have
a primary election law or not, | am

Our friend Graham of the Prospec,

halluciation that Phoebe is trying to
wipe Caliente off he railroad map.
Not at all. Phoebe is working for
the interest Of the whole of Lincoln

nounced by officials of the Salt Lake
Route that the Meadow Valley wash
would be abandoned, Phoebe then took
immediate steps to offset the eff

While the citizens of Phoebe sympa-

has befallen them knowing what it
means to those who have invested
their all in property there. wouldn't
1t be better to pull with Phoebe and
keep the road in Lincoln county now
that 1t has been decreed that the
Meadow Valley wash is to be avoid

HAlLEYS COMET WILL
BRUSH EARTH MAY ts

Halley's comet will give the Pacif-
ic coast a close brush this year on
May Is, between the hours of land 10
p. NJ. and the phenomenon will be
something spectacular, says Profess
sor Charles Burckhalter of the Cha
bot observatory, because the earth
will pass through the last third OF
the 20,000,000 mile tail of the celes-
tial visitor. The result ought to be
as dazzling piece OF heavenly fire
works as this generation has ever
Witnessed. The news that Halley's
comet will be seen only on the Pacif-
ic coast has not hitherto ben given
out, although the fact has been know
for sometime to the astronomers OF
the world, many of whom will journey
to California to be on the scene
when the great event takes place.
