BOTH SIDES REST
in STOWE CASE

The taking of testimony in the
case Of State of Nevada VS.. A. W.
Stowe, which has been in progress in
Judge Robins court for the past week
came to close last evening.
The last witness called for direct
examination was X. d. Farr, chief
clerk of the government assay Office
at Boise, Idaho. This witness testified
in substance, that during the early
part of last September one A. w. Stowe
came into the government assay Office
at Boise, where he produced brick
of bullion, containing 81 95-100th
ounces Of gold and silver, which he Of
fered for sale. This was purchased,
the sum of $2s5.4S being paid for
same. Witness also identified a pho
tographic copy of the assay Office IS
records, which showed Stoves sigma
true receipting for the money, and
which was offered in evidence.
Witness Block was then recalled to
identify the Cecil hotel g register bear
ing Stoves signature.
j. l.. Workman was recalled by the
defense for further cross examination
as to dates he claimed to be in Nation
al on his direct examination.
Defense Offers No Testimony.
Upon the completion of Workman IS
cross examination the State rested. AS
was generally expected, the defense
waived the Introduction of testimony,
and both sides waived argument, and
the case rested in the hands of Judge
Robins.
Today the testimony is being read
the witnesses, after which they are
required to sign same. 1t is thought
this will take the balance of the week,
and that decision may reasonably be
expected by Monday.

SMALLPOX QUARANTINE
RAISED AT LOVELOCK

County Commissioner Stoker, in at
tendance upon the meeting of the
board, now in session, reports that the
smallpox quarantine at Loveloek has
been raised. All told, there were some
so or 60 eases. with but two fatalities.
1t is supposed that the dread disease
was brought to Loveiock by an Indian
coming from Fallon.
That the disease did not spread
further and occasion greater loss of
fife is no doubt due to the prompt
quarantine measures enforced by Com.

los ANGELES CHAM.
BER OF MINES

The first regular meeting of the new
board of directors of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Mines was held Friday,
February 25, fourteen of the recently
elected directors being in attendance.
The first business Of the meeting
was the proposed excursion of the
Los Angeles chamber of Mines to
Arizona. The board enthusiastically
endorsed the excursion and it 10 an
ticipated that all of the directors Of
the Chamber Of Mines will attend. G..
M. Swindell, secretary Of the organize.
tion, has been designated as the on
cial representative of the Chamber OF
Mines On the excursion, and has been
instructed by the directors to secure
all publicity possible while in the ter
ritory as to the plans of the Chamber
of Mines to increase it's present exhibit
of the ores, minerals and geologic pro.
duets of commercial importance to tbs
southwest and while on this trip bend
every effort to securing a comprehen-
sive exhibit from the various mining
districts to be visited.
The Chamber of Mines will have on
exhibition during the convention of
the National Association Of Stationary
Engineers, May 1928, portion Of its
| by the board of directors at the last
meeting.
Pending the preparation Of legisla.
ton which will regulate the issuance Of
assay certificates based upon results
obtained from so-called "secret pro-
cesses,' the committee of the Cham.
ber of Mines having this matter in
charge was authorized by the directors
to take immediate steps to investigate
the methods of assayers in Los Angeles
and vicinity, who are furnishing sucn
certificates, and make recommenda-
tion to the board as q result OF their
investigations. The board OF directors
wishes to be understood as being abso-
lutely fair and impartial in this, as In
all other matters of interest to the
mining industry of the southwest.
They are aware, of course, that all
secrets of metallurgical science have
not vet been solved; that every one,
working along lines which will tend to
improve the reduction problems now
confronting mining men, and generally
reduce costs of milling and treating
ores. deserves whole-hearted support
from the mining fraternity; but, as
the methods of these so-called "secret
process men" have met criticism, it is
absolutely necessary for the protection
of ill-advised investors and even pros
pectors that their methods be investi-
gated, and the public generally advis-
ed as to the results of an investigation
of an absolutely impartial committee.
The Chamber of Mines also passed
resolutions supplementing its previous
recommendations as to the necessity
for the creation of Bureau of Mines,
and also insttructings Secretary Swim
dell to urge upon the California repre-
entatives ana members OF the house
ommittee on mines and mining the
assare Of Senator Flint's hilll nrovid-
ng for the establishment ard NAM
enance of federal assay Office in Los

SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS
DEVELOP IN REED CASE

A week ago A. +. Reed, manager of
Robinson s barber shop, was taken i'll
with erysipelas, as mentioned in Sat
urday's Silver State. Sunday the case
was complicated by the appearance of
kidney troubles, when consultation
of physicians was held and the services
of a trained nurse called into requisi-
tion
Since that time there has been no
noticeable improvement, and today Mr..
Reed is a very sick man.
