Bill which Claims Attention Genuine Novelty and
Merit
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1910-11-19
RULING ON PLACER LOCATIONS

Mining circles are very much in
terested in a decision reported to
have heen rendered short time
ago by the Department of the In
terror at Washington, which de-
cision has been affirmed by the
Secretary of the Interior. This
decision. as near as can be gather
ed, is in effect that in securing a
patent on all placer ground is must
be shown that the mineral deposit
his been uncovered on each ten.
acre subdivision of the claim.
Should this decision cover all
placer locations, and it is said to
so do, it then involves everything
from the Florida phosphate lands,
on through locations of lime and
other deposits, to the gold placer
diggings of Alaska. The former
basis was twenty acres, so under
this new decision double the
amount of work must be done and
double the expense incurred on a
20 acre tract over past conditions.
Conservationists see in this decision
a step forward, while placer pro-
perty owners see in it an element
of increased expense in reaching
the coveted patent stage of mining.
The west is naturally very much in
terested, for a considerable extent
of locations in the western phos-
pate field has been located under
the placer law, and practically all
deposits of stone have been chosen
by this MISUNDERSTANDING.

A peculiar situation has arisen
in regard to the political COM
plexion of the coming Assembly.
Up to yesterday it was thor ght
that the democrats would have a
majority Of one. But as the
official returns came in it was
shown that the lower house is
evenly divided between the two
parties. -
If no changes are made it is evil
dent that an unusual situation will
rise and the fight for control will
be as hard fought as the senatorial
contests of days gone by. In nearly
every country in the State party
line are closely drawn and it is
doubtful if one side, or one men,
Der even, would give way to the
other. The primary law brought
out high class list of candidates
which cannot be tempered with as
has been done hitherto in the legis-
lat i've history of Nevada.
Each side is hopeful of change
ing this condition. In Storey and
Clark counties two republicans
were electd by small majorities.
In both cases contests. In case
the Bourbons are successful it will
mean that they will have work.
ing majority of two and the house
will be easily organized. But il
they are unsuccessful in the con.
test the case will remain in status
quo, and from this 1t is evident
that the matter is no nearer solu
ton. Each side is receiving
strong support and it is evident
that the contest will be as bitterly
fought as any case ever before the
courts. In the case of w. H
Kearns of Storey County, who i,
contesting the election of Bulmer
the republican elected, numerou.
offers of legal assist ance have been
given. The question is a serious
one and will undoubtedly occup,
the attention of the courts anc
possibly the Assembly when it con.
