Both leases on the Booth estate are
in very promising ore at this time. De-
velopments on the Weber Mclaughlin
lease have shown that the ore shoot
cut some two weeks ago, when some
very nice ore was extracted by develop
ment work, was cut on its apex. Sever
al raises were put up in the ore shoot,
and the formation proved almost con
clusively that the apex had been cut.
AS the operations were only at a depth
~f $50 feet this is very probable. A
winze is now being put down in the
ore, and the showings in this are very
favorable, indeed, and there is every
indication that the downward extern
sion of the vein will make a shipper of
the lease.

Pacific Bc-ax company was formed, the
Pacific Borax and the Redwoojs Chemi.
cal company practically merging. Later,
when it was desired to extend opera
tions, the Borax Consolidated Qimited)
was formed, and this is the real borax
trust of today, in which the Rockefeller
money largely figures, although it IS
an English company, reputedly. 1t was
made an English company to get hold
of the trade the English people already
had in borax, soda, salt and other such
necessities.
Got Patents.
Now, prior to 1901, the Pacific Borax
had secured government patent to
saline lands, evenly distributed between
Columbus Marsh, Teel's Marsh and
Fish Lake Valley, aggregating just
100 acres. Then the saline lands law
was passed, and invalidated the loca.
tions that were not held under its pro-
visions, viz: That no one person, his
assigns nor agents, could locate, during
their lifetime, more than 20 acres of
saline lands. The Pacific Borax and
Redwoods Chemical company (limited>
was at this time holding thousands of
acres for itself by the mere posting of
location notices. When the saline act
of 1901 was passed, it invalidated all
such titles, and the company saw its
holdings materially dwindle. Then
Borax Consolidated fiimitedj was
formed, for the more complete merger
of the American and English borax
supply.

this HOO acres, and depends upon SEN
ator George Nixon to pass a law legiti-
matizing the steal of SIS, 900 900.
Ingenuity of the Trust.
The trust has a very ingenious method
of describing its lands in the illegal
deed that has been recorded. 1t does
not hatfootedly say that it owns 1900
acres of saline lands, but the deed en-
braces all it's ''pre-emptions, locations,
franchises, claims, patents, properties,
rights, privileges" etc. That is, the
deed conveys its little block of HOO
acres that it really owns through gov
eminent patent, and all the lands that
have been illegally located by its squat
tiers, dummies, range riders and so on,
in case Senator Nixon is successful in
legalizing the locations on the $1,000
made by the above-named agents.
Steals in Other Counties.
just how much land is embraced in
the steal in other counties of Nevada
and in California is not known at this
time. But is safe to predict that in
Rhodes Marsh, and in all the enormous
acreage of saline lands in the Death
Valley, in California, the same process
is in operation, and that when the
Nixon bill is passed, if Nixon can have
it passed, 100000 acres of saline lands
will have slid into the hands of the
trust-lands worth 100000, 900.
1t is very doubtful if the Pacific
Borax and Redwoods Chemical COM
pany has even a possessory right to an
acre of these lands, save the HOO acres
patented, at the time the deed was
passed. When the trust was formed,
and the production of borax passed un
der trust methods, the plant in Fish
Lake Valley when borax had been man
ufactured, was dismanteled, and the re-
naming buildings, watts and equipment
allowed to fall into decay. For years
and years no assessment work has been
done on any Of the un~patented claims,
Locations, rights etc., in the valley,
and the same conditions have prevailed
not only there, but in Teels and Column
bus marshes, and in the Death Valley
country. All the work that has been
done has been for the range riders OF
the trust to date their location notices
up month by month-which in itself is
illegal. Obsolete records II surveys
are all upon which the interests con
cerned can bolster up their CLAIMS,
should the ownership of these lands be
tested in court. But the trust is not
anticipating any court action. 1t
Senator Nixon can just work that saline
lands bill through, the blanket steal
and the blanket deed for $l5,0o0,000
worth of Esmeralda property will have
been legalized, and the trust can
derisively place its thumb to its nose
and waggie its fingers at the Common
People" who have no Nixon working
for their interests.

ANTICIPATING PASSAGE
OF THE NIXON BILL

inner circle, in the main, of the Pacific
Borax and Redwoods Chemical company.
So, believing that Senator Nixon will
get the bill passed validating these
blanket entries of saline lands, the
Pacific Borax, etc, slips n over on the
smaller stockholders, sells worthless
property to Borax Consolidated, and
then, when the Nixon bill is passed, the
inner circle will own the whole thing
and the little stockholders will be out
in the cold.
In Esmeralda County.
Only a comparatively small acreage
of these saline lands are in Esmeralda
county. OF this land the Borax Trust
owns but 100 acres, yet it IS holding
under location notices now illegal, 15,
900 additional acres by means of range
riders, etc, who merely, every 30 days,
date the location notices up another
month. And the trust is so sure that
Senator Nixon will put through the bill
.legalizing such locations that it actual
iy sells IL, 300 acres that belong to the
United States, receives the money
therefore, and has the deed for this
illegal sale recorded in the books in the
office of the recorder of this county.

NATURAL RESOURCES FROM THE
COUNTY OF ESMERALDA ALONE,
WORTH $4,000, 10000. Unless Sen
ator Nixon has that saline lands bill
passed, the lands will be held for the
people of the county and state, each
citizen being able to take up 20 acres,
worth, when developed, $1,000 per acre
based upon a price of three cents per
ton, in the ground, of the mineral salts
held in these lands.
The deed from the Pacific Borax and
Redwood Chemical company, Qimited),
to the Borax Consolidated (limited) ex-
posed the enormity and the audacity of
the steal in this one county alone. In
that deed, which was executed Decem-
Der 9, 1909, sent to England for ratifi
cation, and returned to Goldield, by
the Wells-Fargo Express company, and
recorded April 8, 1910, approximately
II, 900 acres of saline lands are trans

ty show hat the borax trust owns but
HOO acres of lands, to which patent
was issued prior to the act of 1901. All
prior locations, u~npatented, were in
validated by that act. That is all the
saline lands that the trust can OWL
under the present laws, anywhere in
the United States. 1t cannot buy more,
ia cannot locate another acre, nor can

BELIEVES OIL
Will BE FOUND

Ira Mcfarland. who is interested in
promising oil lands at Indian Springs,
has returned from a trip to the Blair
oil fields and his opinion is that the
well now being sunk on that ground is
going to get into the oil within a short
time after the tools, still stuck at 1850
feet, are released and the well driven
ON down. MI. Mcfarland is an ex.
perienced oil man and states tina. in
other fields which have later become
producers he has seen just such show
ings before the strike was made as ex.
ist at present in the Blair well. This
showing made by the bailer is a sort
of a dark parafine vasaline and is fore.
ing up from below the tools as the
same are being loosened by the imple
ment recently brought up from Los An
geles.
MI. Mcfarland states that he would
not be surprised if the force Of gas
below would at almost any time drive
the tools up into the well. He looks
for oil, some oil at least and maybe a
big producer. The finding Of oil even
to a small extent in this particular well
would encourage capital to sink in ether
parts of the well defined belt to the
end that goodly quantities would most
likely be encountered.

Nixon Gets in the Game.

Recently. the American branch of the
business. through Borax Smith and
Senator Nixon of Nevada, has managed
to quietly smuggle through two read
ings in the United States senate aud
into the senate committee ON mines and
mining a bill which, If passed, will
again open all the saline lands to
blanket entry.
At the present time, however, of the
II 900 acres in Esmeralda county alone
claimed by the Pacific Borax company,
BUT HOO ARE PATENTED, AND
THE REMAINING $1,000 ACRES ARE
NO MORE THE POSSESSION OF
THE BORAX COMPANY THAN is
THE SOUTH POLE. 1t is very easy
for the men in control of the Pacific
Borax company to explain to their
stockholders that an inimieal national
law of the United States has wiped out
l $4,000 acres of their holdings, that the
Borax Consolidated does not know this.
and that it is much better to sell to the
Borax Consolidated and let the latter
company take the risks of loss than it
is to stand the loss alone. And, at the
same time, Borax Consolidated is the

DR.. Gustaye a. Gayer Says He
is Being Benefited by Fast

New York, May %. After a fast
of eight days, DR.. Gustave A Gayer
finds himself sixteen pounds lighter,
but stronger, he says, clearer in mind
and with better memory and eyesight.
He will consult an oculist for an
opinion on the improvement Of his
eyesight.
The doctor sleeps outdoors and
drinks water freely. He acknowledges
that for the first three days the smell
Of cooking drove him out Of the house,
but says that harder still he found
the deprivation Of tobacco. He used
to smoke ten cigars a day. His hair
has stopped falling out, he thinks it
is turning darker.
Throughout the test the doctor has
continued his daily exercise and bis
lectures. He undertook the fast to
study the influence of autosuggestion
on the body, and is 50 pleased with
the results that he says now he will
prolond bis fast to fifty days instead
of thirty days, as first planned
Physicians will watch him for any
dangerous impairment of vitality, and
should such be noted the fast will be
discontinued,

didn't treat her right when told her
that I wanted to leave home"
That is what Eunice is saying now,
from reports that reach us. She
wants to stay in the old parish, in
case Eyangeline wins out, and advan-
ces the argument that 0pelousas is
more accessible for Eunice people
than is VILE Platte. In this Eunice
puts forth strong point, because it
is a fact that it is much easier for
the people in the Eunice vicinity to
come to Opelousas and transact busi-
ness than it is for them to go to Vile
Platte. AS the great cry for division
was accessibility to the parish seat,
Eunice is hammering on this point,
and we are told its representatives
have made favorable impression on
the legislators.
AS we said last week, Mallet and
Plauuemine Point have been restored,
by agreement, to the old parish.
Such an amendment will be made
to the original bill. The including OF
Eunice would still leave Evangeline
with more than the required territory.
While it is the general impression
that the bill creating Evangeline will
pass both Houses, the fight has not
let Up, and desperate effort will be
made to defeat it. Should it pass,
we are informed that the battle will
continue, and that the Courts will be
appealed ia. Lawyers for the anti
divisionists say that the bill is fatally
defective. Of course lawyers for the
other side say it is perfect and will
hold water"

we're Id Baton Rouge the early por-
tion Of last week, and from appear
ances now there seems very little
prospect of a truce between the war

Representative Yves Fontenot made
fight to leave the question of the
parish seat Of Evangeline to vote
Of the people, but this motion was
laid on the table. There is no doubt
but that the House will pass the bill
creating EvangeIine, and making
Vile Platte the parish seat, with {

CROWLEY NEXT MONTH
Experimental Stallion Has Planned 4 Great
Tlns for lhe Rice People.
500 VARIETIES OF RICE
VIII Bs Exhibited In Growing Stale..T the
Meeting Of Importance TO The
Whole Bell.

IN view Of the fact that this sec
tion of the State this st. Landry
section destined to be very prob
ably the real rice country Of the
world as soon as the schell Canal is
in operation, the Rally Day to be held
al the Louisiana Rice Experiment
Station at Crowley on Saturday, June
18, will be an event of great impor-
tance to our people, as we'll as to the
people Of the entire rice belt.
At this demonstration will be
shown the work of the Experiment
Station, what it has accomplished.
and what practical knowledge it IS
ready to impart to the rice farmers,
knowledge gained by the experiments
carried on at the station.
The visiting rice farmer will have
a chance to see in actual operation
the methods Of developing new types
Of rice. The authorities of the sta
tion are developing new type suita-
bic for our soil and climate, which
will have the good qualities Of Japan
and Honduras without their bad quail
tiles.
There will be practicable and easily
understandable demonstrations Of the
value Of good soil preparation, Of the
value of drainage, of the value OF
good seed, Of the value Of fertiliza-
tion.
The rice farmer who keeps his
eyes open will get many valuable
hint about the management Of his
Ievees and the handling Of water.
On the experiment farm will be
found growing dozens Of different
kinds Of forage crops, and the rice
farmer will be able to draw his own
conclusions as to the feasibility Of
raising them in the rice belt.
All kinds of vegetables will be
found in cultivation and the farmers
Wifa will find many valuable idea
about the maintenance of kitchen
garden.
The farmers boy should visit the
experiment station on Rally Day. He
will learn something about the man
agement Of every crop raised in the
rice belt and many crops that are
not raised but that may be raised
proftably.
There will be a big barbecue and
