Capitalism's conspiracy to crush

So fragrant has been the campaign
Of Misrepresentation in the capitalist

there has been an insistent demand

In response to this demand Frank

NIXON AMENDS
SUNORY CIVIL Bill

On February 3 Senator Nixon intro
duced in the senate the following
amendment to the bill making appro-
priations for the sundry civil expenses
of the government for the fiscal year
1912, and for other purposes:
"That an additional two million
acres of arid lands within the state of
Nevada be made available and subject
to the terms of section four of an act
of congress entitled "An act making
appropriations for sundry civil ex.
penses of the government for the fiscal
year ending June thirtieth, eighteen

be necessary for the purposes and un-
der the provisions of said acts.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on public lands, which reported

KILLS TWO BIRDS
WITH one STONE

:
Yesterday afternoon, with o force OF
men and teams, Commissioner Havi-
land began work on the new improve
ment ordered by the county board at
its last notwithstanding the grade
of Bridge, from Fourth to Railroad
streets.
AS it was necessary for the county
to have dirt for reinforcing the re-
tanning walls Of the new bridge, the
commissioners considered the time op-
perfume to change the grade of Bridge
street, without expense to the owners
of abutting property. While i 10 I'M
derstood that there is considerable
complaint on the part Of property own
ers along that portion cf Bridge
street affected, it would seem that
they are particularly fortunate in
having the work done at the expense
of the county, instead Of having the
cost charged up to their property in
the shape of special assessment.
When completed, with a seyen.inch
covering of gravel, the new street
grade, established by County Surveyor
Sheldon, will be as follows: Starting
with the present street level at Fourth
and Bridge, the cut on the west side OF
Bridge and Fifth will be 2.3 feet; at
Sixth street there will be a fill of one
foot, and from there to Railroad the
street will be levelled and graded.

MORE REGARDING
RECENT STRIKE

Indications are that the strike made
on the north side of Winnemucca noun
tain two weeks ago win prove to be
of permanent character. The find was
made on the A and 7 claims, owned by
w. G. Adamson and associates, situate
a few hundred feet over the summit
the mountain, and distant from Win
nemueca, by direct trail, some four
miles.
The ledge is from IA to Is feet wide,
the ore for the entire distance carry
ing values, in the proportion OF two
ounces of gold to one in silver. In
places, however, the rock is nearly
solid metal, running in value from SIS
to $40 per pound. A small force OF
men is at work on the property, get
ting out and sacking ore, and 1T ID
probable that shipment will be made
in the near future.
To representative Of the Silver
State, today, man who is well ac-
quainted with this section of the coun-
try, said: 'sIn the locality of the re-
cent great strixe made by Adamson
and associates there has been less ac-
tual prospecting done than in most
any other part Of the state. | believe
it to be locality rich in gold and sill
yer, and that, with proper work, it will
develop into one of the greatest camps
in the entire state. Extending from
the mountain to Barrett Springs, north
and south, and for an equal distance
east and west, the entire country Is
heavily mineralized, gold and silver
predominating, and wherever one may
sink, uniform values are encountered
at a certain depth.

returned Sunday afternoon from a

that while in the City the business
connected with the transfer of the
Auto Hill group of mines at National
to Phil Blume and associates was at
tended to.
When asked by representative Of
the Silver State if he had disposed of
the ''Chefoo' during his absence,
Mr.. Workman replied that, while there
had been no money paid on account OF
the deal, it was probable that the
mine would be shortly taken over by a
syndicate of eastern and San Francisco
capitalists.
Mr.. and Mrs. Workman will leave
