HEAVY PENALTY FOR NOT
FILING ANNUAL REPORTS

Officers of all foreign corporations doing business within the
limits of the state of Nevada should read the Nevada state law print
ed below, which REQUIRES them to file annual reports, as their failure
to file these reports means a monetary loss to the companies they rep
resent that, in the aggregate will amount high.
The new law passed last winter by the Nevada Legislature makes
it obligatory upon all mining companies dong business III NeVau
both foreign and domestic corporations, to file reports in November
and June of each calendar year hereafter, but as the attorney gen
eral has construed this law to mean that the mrs epoH
does not have TO be filed until next June, and as the old law was not
repealed by the new law, but will supersede it only after Jul mex
year 1910. the old law remains still in force and no company VIII

SMOKY VALLEY co. STRIKES
ORE AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

A good strike was made a short time
ago on the property of the Smoky Valley
company at Round Mountain. 1t is
stated that nine feet of milling ore has
been opened and that it will go from $40
a ton up. The shaft is down 210 feet
through wash, and work there was sus
pended over two years ago, except to
keep up the assessments.

company, on an examination recently
stated that in his opinion the apex of

MUCH MATERIAL IS
GOING TO KIMBERLEY

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Feb. IA
carload of lumber was unloaded at this
place Monday by the Western Milling
& Reduction company, for their mines
at Kimberly and four teams are at pres
ent engaged in hauling it to that place.
The machinery, pipe and corrugated iron
that is to be used is expected to arrive
the first of the week and will be i'm
mediately taken to the camp.
Twenty-Five men are at present en-
ployed building a new grade which
will make easy access for hauling to
the mines.
Mr.. John Murin, one of the best
known millwrights in this western coun-
try, who is now in charge is certainly
doing justice to the camp and the COM
|pany with his able management of hand
ling the men an3 the progress he is
making on the millsite. In his report
to the company he outlines his policy
very clearly and the same has been re
ceived by them as being most satisfac-
tory and they have implicit confidence
in his ability to fulfill every article of
the contract by which he has agreed to
have the mill in running order by the
first of April.

DONOVAN TO GET
$4,000 FOR
HIS WORK

Many months ago when the squatters
of Goldfeld brought suit to prevent the
issuance of patents to the townsite com
pany and their ejectment from the
ground which they occupied, General
James Donovan entered into a contract
with the ~"Squatters Association for
so much a lot if he successfully prose
cuted the suit.
Since then the squatters have won out
and the whole town, practically has
been turned over to Judge Stevens, as
trustee for the government, with direc-
tons to issue deeds to those claimants
who can comply with the requirements.
Applications for deeds were filed with
Judge Stevens last month and he is now
compiling the expenses of the trustee
ship so as to determine how much to
charge each applicant for his lot, the
expenses being pro-rated among the lot
claimants.
Some days ago Gen. Donovan filed
his bill for service; also his contract
with the settlers association, which
called for $40 per lot for all the lots
in the disputed territory. There are
about 1900 lots, which at $40 per lot,
would bring the fee up to $4,000. This,
according to Judge Stevens, would be
an unreasonable fee and work a hard
| shin upon lot owners. Judge Stevens,
as trustee for the government, was ad-
verse to being bound by a contract
made years ago by some of the squat
tiers. although recognizing that Gen.
Donovan had a just claim for services,
but Just the amount of that claim they
could not agree upon. 1t was finally de-
eided to leave it to arbitration, each
one being allowed to name two arbltra-
tors. Judge Stevens named +. +. Car
new and Charles S. Sprague; Gen Dono-
van named w. II. Bryant and County
Clerk Hamilton. The referees met Sat
rdav afternoon, and after carefully
considering the amount OF WORK IN
volyesd. covering three years, nearly
made an award of $4,000. As both
Judoe Stevens and General Donovan
had agreed to abide by the decision OF
tba arbitrators, this will be the fee. In
Guiding this among all the expenses Oh
the trusteeship, Judge Stevens says the
cost of lots to applicants will still be
not over $40 per lot and possibly less
ua expeets to begin issuing deeds the
latter part of this week.

SALT REFINING OPERATIONS

Company Starts Actual Work of Converting Salt Deposits of Great
Marsh Into Real Money-An Outline of the Process to
Be Used in Obtaining the Salt

The association is a mutual
tive body organized under the laws of
the United States, which permit a citi-
zen to locate twenty acres only of salt
ground and combine along certain
strictly defined voluntary membership
lines with others to develop it. Nearly
fifty members are already enrolled in
the organization.
Following are the officers of the as

eral manager, Frank r. Porter.
A force of eight men, with a four
horse team, started work ON Monday,
although the task of surveying and
stalking out claims had been done pre-
viously. These claims, each consisting
of twenty acres, extend from a point

road as possible, for convenience in
shipping the finished product.
1t is anticipated that the first crop
of salt will be secured next October.
After the solution has been pumped
into the completed vat on each claim
and allowed to evaporate for a period
of about ninety days it is broken up
by a harrow with teeth three and a
half inches in length, then gathered
by a three inch scraper and conveyed
to the crushing plant.
In some sections of the marsh are
encountered "~playas,' or huge masses
of salt raised above the level of the
marsh bed. The method of dealing with
these will be to surround them with
dykes, into which solution will then be
pumped and left for about eight days
to soften them, after which the sluice
gates will be opened and the entire
contents will be washed TO the com
mon level. From these ~''playas' will
be secured the very finest quality of
salt, almost 80 per cent pure, due to
the long exposure of these masses to
the sun s rays.

about a mile south of Silver Peak to g
point nearly opposite Blair, two and
half miles, in a %northerly direction
from thence they extend one and a
half miles east. Each is $50 feet in
width and 1920 feet in length, and
they are in a long double row. Be
tween this double row is a 30-foot right
of way, secured by each claim holder
voluntarily giving fifteen feet off one
entire side of his claim.
Just east of Silver Peak and at a
point in the marsh where is quite a
depression in the surface, a stump 80
feet by 60 feet in size will be excavat-
ed to a depth of ten feet. Work on
this is now proceeding. In this stump
will be installed a powerful China
pump, to be driven by an electric
motor. Power will be furnished by the
Nevada-C California Power company,
whose wires cross the marsh close by.
All the belts and buckets to be used
with this equipment will be made of
rubber, as the strong saline quality of
the solution would soon cause ordinary
equipment to deteriorate and would
make the latter very costly to maintain.
From this stump the solution will be
pumped into a 12-inch sluice-box with
a fall sufficient to carry it along the

~laterals connecting this sluice box with
the various claims.
Before pumping is started the claims
will have been prepared for receiving
the solution by the very simple process
of converting them into watts. This is
done by blowing four burrows around
the claim and afterward using a
"go-divel,' or heavy wooden drag,
which heaps the dirt into an embank
ment eighteen inches in height in the
center of the burrows.
Into these watts a thin layer of solu-
ton is pumped and allowed to evapor-
ate in the rays of the sun and crystal
ize. The process is repeated again and
again until a depth of about four inches
is secured. When this is given the
proper time to harden it will "set'
almost as solidly as concrete and will
serve as a retaining bed for any quaint
ity of solution up to the capacity of
the retaining entertainments.
The work of thus preparing the
claims will be pushed vigorously and
completed before the heated summer
season comes around, and pumping will
be kept up steadily, leaving old Sol to
do the work of producing salt. A plan

STATE BANKS In
GOOD SHAPE

NJ Van Fleet, state bank ex-
.m;,er. who arrived Monday from Car

in that camp. Yesterday Mr..
~, Fleet spent the day in going over

titan and after completing his task

savs the Bonanza.
", Van Fleet has occupied his Of
e.. not mite a year, but during that

:..orast and welfare of the state banks
-, for the state of Nevada as well. He
has established a record during his

,bo started his labors under many diff
s~onlties. In conversing yesterday
ahout the banking conditions of Ne
vada. the bank examiner stated that
his opinion the state banks were
carving at the present time, a larger
roserve than ever before in the history
of this commonwealth.
"The required reserve said Mr..
Van Fleet, is 10 per cent, but the
majority of the banks are carrying up
wards of 25 per cent. The financial
conditions which were somewhat the
worse for wear at the time | accepted
nv office. have of late shown a decided
Improvement. The prosperity of a Sec
ton can usually be told by the condi-
tion of the different banks, and it is
by this course that | am able to voice
nv opinion. The different state banks
may not all show an increase in de-
posits but on the whole there is a gen
eral tone of better business.
"During my Investigations l have
often noticed where a banking in
st~itution has fallen into a rut. This,
of course, is unknown to the bankers,
and it is my duty to make suggestions,
which have always been received ia
vorably."
Regarding the move for better and
adequate banking laws, Mr.. Van Fleet
said: "At the close of the last legis-
lature there was considerable antagon-
ion, On 4bo nar+ nf Soma of tho hankarS
who, having conducted their business
for a number of years under the old re
quirements, felt that new legislation
would result in a hardship. Since that
time they have had ample time to con
slider the matter and now are the fore
most in favoring new and better laws.
These bankers have arrived at the con-
%clusion, which is manifested by eastern
capitalists, that protection should be
guaranteed both depositors and the
banks when the interests of both would
be better safeguarded.
MANY of the points that have
arisen during my incumbeney, l have
brought out in my report to the gov
ernor, which is now in the hands of the
printer. This report covers nearly
every phrase of banking legislation,
either in force, or that which could be
adopted for the betterment of condi-
tions, and the most of it has been con-
strueted from actual observation and
experience" !
