REMARKABLE SPECIMENS
FROM NEVADA STRIKE

w. G.. Adamson, the Salt Lake en-
gineer who a few weeks ago made one
of the richest strikes recorded in Ne
vada in many months, is in town for
a few days, bringing with him some
remarkable specimens of the rich rock
he and his partner, Turner, struck in
the hills near Winnemucca. One sam
pie weighs 80 ounces, and is said to
contain 20 ounces, about $500, in gold.
Veteran mining men pronounce it one
of the finest samples they ever saw.
Mr.. Adamson declares this rich stuff
is not found in isolated pockets, but in
a regular vein, which denotes that the
pay streak is both continuous and
should go down.-Herald- Republican.

NEEDED REFORMS
IN LAND LAWS
BODYBUILDING Bulletin No. 8.

The public land laws provide that
two persons may pointly take up pub
lie land under the mining laws, and
one person do the work on the claim,
the other furnishing the necessary
money to buy supplies. This is com
monty known as the Grub-stake law,
and each owns a half interest in any
land so obtained from the government.
There is no good reason why this prin-
ciple should not apply to land taken
up under the homestead law, and a bill
embodying this idea is now before
congress. If congress should pass
this bill it would give an opportunity
for labor and capital to work together
in the matter of taking up public
land, one person furnishing the neces
sary money to properly improve and
go through with the homestead and
the other furnishing the necessary
work and residing on the claim. This
would provide a means for very many
worthy people to acquire homes who
have no hoes of getting homes of their
own under the present. public land laws.
Payments Should Be Easy on Irrigat-
ed Homesteads.
The reclamation service requires
one-tenth cash payment on irrigated
homesteads at the time of fling, and
one-tenth each year until the full pay
ment is made. They also require one
years maintenance fee to be paid IN
advance. Where the water right IS
$40 per acre it requires a considerable
sum of money to file upon so acres,
and a man must have quite a little
money before he can undertake to go
through with an so acre homestead. A
bill is now before congress providing
in the future only 81 per acre shall be
required at the time of filing, 81 per
acre the next year, 50 per acre the
third, fourth and fifth years, So per
acre the sixth, seventh and eighth
years and So per acre each year there
after until the full amount is paid.
1t appears that congress hesitates to
extend these %payemnts for a period OF
more than ten years, therefore III TINS
easy payment plan was enacted into
law, as outlined by this bill, up to the
tenth year, letting the balance all fall
due in ten years, it would l1ghten the
burden upon many who now nave
homesteads and encourage others to
take homesteads, and there is no good
reason why all of this should not be
paid at the end of ten years, but there
is every reason for having the pay
ments light the first few years, par
ticularly the first FIVE years.
Pasture Lands.
The settlement of western lands
can be very greatly accelerated, and
each of the western states containing
a large amount of public land very
much benefited, if congress would pass
a law in line with the resolutions unan-
imously passed at the Billings Dry
Farming congress, providing for the
classification of the rough mountain
Gus lands that are valuable only fol
pasturage, by a commission to be ap.
pointed by the secretary of agrieul
ture, and such lands sold out in such
sized tracts as would be necessary foi

family, hat is, lands to be sold on ter
years. time in ten nnual payments

and not permitting a transfer during
the ten years time and requiring the
purchaser, when making final pay
ment, to show that he has pastured the
lane to a reasonable extent.

FIRE ORDINANCE
ACTION TONIGHT
New Alarm System Will Go
Before Council for Con-
SlderatlOn

Members OF the fire committee of
City Council exepct 10 have the pro-
posed new fire alarm ordinance in
shape to present al the meeting Of
Council tonight. There has been much
opposition TO the present ordinance
because OF the manner in which the
fire companies must respond to
alarms. There seems to be a mis-
understanding. and it is for the pur.
pose Of strengthening this out that the
proposed ordinance was drafted.
Under the new ordinance there will
be three alarms, the companies know
ing to which ones they must respond.
Under this arrangement each COM
pany will know just where II must
go on the first alarm, on the second
alarm, and on the third alarm.
The presidents Of the various FIRE
companies have had copies Of the
ordinance, and as yet no opposition to
the measure has developed.
