s. P. PAYS VAST
sums FOR PENSIONS

Since the Inauguration Of the pen
sion department of the Southern Pa
ci6c company, January l, 1908, nearly
one million dollars has been voluntari-
ly distributed among the retired en-
ployes of that corporation. The pre-
else amount is $3.50, O,6O7.70.
The total disbursements for the
month of June, 1911, were $14,010.35.
This was divided among 420 men and
women, retired employees Of the South
ern Pacific company. The total dis
bursements for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1911, were $16s, 10000.
Since the organization of the pen
sion department the Southern Pacific
company has pensioned 616 of its en-
ployes. OF this numer 1875 were from
the operating and train service, 26S
from the motive power department, in
cluding enginemen, 102 from the main
tenance of way, from the stores de-
partment, 81 from the general Offices,
% from the Atlantic steamship lines
and 81 from the ferry and river steam
ers. Length of service is all that is
necessary to secure pension from the
Southern Pacific company. The en-
ployes are not required to contribute
anything toward the pension fund, all
payments being made out Of the gen
era funds Of the railroad company.

NEW INVENTIONS TO BE UTILIz
ED IN PREVENTING FIRES

Major Frank A. Fem, supervisor of
the Selway national forest, embracing
100000 acres formerly part of the
Nez Perce reserve in northern Idaho,
predicts that the time is not far dis
tant when aeroplanes and wireless
telegraphy will be important factors
in protecting timbered lands in the Pa
cific slope country. A man in fly
ing machine could do more accurate
and extensive survey work in the
mountains in few hours. he believes.
than is usually accomplished by 20
rangers in a week when fires are rag
ing in the rough country, and with
wireless stations installed on the high
peaks, he adds, it would be com
easy task to assemble men
and apparatus at convenient points to
extinguish the flames and prevent
spreading. Several hundred miles of
telephone lines have been constructed
this season to protect the forests and
one big timber holding concern is
making experiments with motorcycles
in northern Idaho. So far this season
there has been no srious fires in any
of the northwestern forests.

BIG DEAL ON FOR
COLDF|[LD Mines

The biggest mining deal that has
taken place in Goldfeld since the
days OF the consolidation of the Mo-
hawk, Jumbo, Combination and Red
Top, which occurred something like
five years ago, is now on in the sister
camp, and if it goes through, which
now seems more than likely, it means
not only the entrance into the camp
Of men who are at the head of the
mining industry in the United States,
control of the camp, which has been
vested in the Goldield Consolidated
Mines Co. for SO long time, will in
measure be wrested from them, and
Goldfield, instead Of remaining a one
company camp, will enjoy the same
freedom that obtains in Tonopah and
other places where control is divided
among several companies. In fact it
will be the making of new Goldfeld.
For several weeks past emissaries
of ex-senator William A. Cark of Mon
tana and F.. M. (Borax) Smith have
been in Goldfield in consultation with
the powers that control the Merger
Mines Co., and after considerable par
leying and submission of numerous
propositions, following the examina-
tion of the property by their experts,
arrangements have been concluded
whereby the ex-senator and the borax
king take over the control of the
Merger at price stated to be some
where near Is cents per share.
The Merger Mines Co., as will be
remembered by many of the old-time
readers of the Miner, comprises the
properties formerly owned by the st.
Ives, Velvet, Gold Horn and one or
two smaller companies, and includes
about 10 full claims and fractions.
It's ground lies little to the south
west of the Lone Star group, north
east Of the Atlanta. and almost east
of and bordering on the old Jumbo and
Jumbo Extension. Surrounded by
such properties and in such fertile ter
ritory, the ground has ALWAYS been re-
district, and in the past three years
numerous deals have been on for it's
sale, but intending purchasers, it can be
stated with some degree of accuracy,
have been scared off by threats of apex
suits. In the present instance, how
ever, threats have been Of no avail.
During the leasing system several of
the claims included in the deal have
produced many thousands of dollars,
but for the past three years, with the
exception of two leases. little has
been done on the ground, though many
lodges of milling ore have been open
ed up.
AS near as can be learned Clark and
Smith take over the balance of stock
remaining in the treasury, something
like 100000 shares, and have been
given an option on a slightly larger
amount of ownership stock, thus Civ
ing them control Of the capitalization.

CONGRESSMEN MUST MAKE
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES PUBLIC

The most drastic campaign of pub
licity legislation ever passed in either
branch of congress has been adopted
by the senate with practically not one
dissenting vote. Using the prediction
publicity bin passed by the house as a
basis, the senate constructed a pro-
posed law with the following import
ant features:
"No candidate for the senate or
house shall spend in the election more
than the sum equal to ten cents for
each voter in his district or state.
"No senatorial candidate shall spend
a total of more than $4,000 in the
primary and general election, and no
candidate for the house shall spend
more than $4,000.
publicity must be given all pri-
mary campaign contributions and ex-
penditures.
"All general election expenses must
be made public before election, begin
ming fifteen days before election and
making a publication each day until
election.
Gan promises of political jobs must
be made public.''
The bill further makes illegal the
promise Of political places in order to
secure the election, support or in
fluence for the election of any men,
ber of a state legislature. The bill
probably will be subject to prolonged
conference between the two houses. It
originated in the house as part Of the
Democratic legislative program and
was designed to require publication Of
expenses before election which is not
required by the existing publicity law.
Republicans in the house unsuccessful.
ly ATTEMPTED to extend the bill to cover
primary election expenses. In the
senate the primary election amend
ment, coupled with more radical
amendments, was adopted with little
opposition.

SWELL WEDDING
AT SAN FRANCISCO

The San Francisco Chronicle Of July
1S contains the following account Of
the wedding of Miss Lottie Ransome
Porter, of Winnemucca, to DR.. Clarence
O. Patten, which occurred at the St
Francis hotel Monday evening:
"The wedding of Miss Lottie Ran
some Porter and DIR. Clarence o. Pat
ten took place last evening at the St
Francis at an elaborately appointed
cermony.
"The red room, where the marriage
service was read at o'clock by Rev
William Fisher, was transformed into
bower of bloom for the occasion
Roses and carnations were artistically
arranged with masses of feathery
ferns with harmonious effect.
tThe bride was attended by her
cousin, Miss Mabel Stabel of Redding
who wore dainty bridesmaid gown Of
pale lavender satin trimmed with lace
"The best man was DR.. Frederick
Scott.
"The brides gown was of soft
white satin, elaborately embroidered
and trimmed with rare lace. With il
she wore a lace veil and carried q
shower bouquet of lilies of the valley
''The bride is the daughter of DR.,
and Mrs. w. 8. Porter, of Winnemuc-
ca, New, and for the past two years
has been studying music in San Fran

Change IN BAND
CONCERT DATES

1t has definitely been decided that
hereafter the weekly band concert will
be given on Sunday instead of Satur-
day nights on the lawn of the court
house. This move is the result of
agitation that has been going on for
some time and should prove eminently
satisfactory to the music lovers of the
town, as well as the business men.
The pleasanter surroundings CON-
bined with the marked improvement in
the performances of the band under
the leadership of Dan Loncici should
materially heighten the interest in and
increase the attendance at these af-
fairs. The efforts of the members of
the band who are showing splendid
public spirit cannot be given too much
encouragement.

WILEY RETAINS POSITION
AS PURE FOOD EXPERT

A Washington dispatch of the 18th
says that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, pure
food expert, the peoples doctor, will
be retained in the public service.
That President Taft has practically
made up his mind to this effect was as
eertained last night from an authori-
tative source.
From the same source it was learned
though it may tax the creduilty of
the public to believe it---that Attor-
ney General Wickersham will not re-
sign If the president sustains DIR.
WHEY. There is a perfect understand
ing between the president and Wick
ersham, it is said, which was reached
before the latter left for the west
Sunday to FIJI speaking engagement.
The president reserves the right al
wavs. il is asserted, to act on his own
Judgment, irrespective of the views of
any or all of his cabinet advisers. They
so understand il and are prepared al
ways TO submit to his judgment.
In the Wiley case, moreover, 1T is
observed. the president merely sub
mittted a point of law to the attorney
general. who rendered an opinion on
the law. He was not asked to pass
upon any facts.
This NAV be special pleading in
teuded TO "save the face of the at
tornev general. for whom the president
eptertains a very high regard, but it
ia undoubtedly the view of the situa-
ton that is taken here.
Nevertheless there is well-dfined
view in Washington that despite all
that has been said the retention OF Dr.
Wiley would leave Mr.. Wickersham no
other alternative but retirement.
In the ease of Secretary of Agrieul.
tnre Wilson. no one would be surprised
n ace him retire from the cabinet.
There are difficulties between him and
nr Wiley that cannot easily be recon
ciled.
DR.. Harvey Wiley's answer to the
ebaroes made against him by the per
sonnel board of the department. OF ag,
r;culture was presented to President
Taft today.
Secretary Wilson received the pa
,e~s from DR.. Wiley just before he left
mo department for the regular cabinet
meeting. Hh had had no time to read
them before the cabinet meeting be-
can and declared he would not be able
80 make n recommendation today.
The outline of DR.. Wiley's defense
was NOT known at the White house. Al
