SOME STARTLING FACTS

A very Interesting address was
given at the Presbyterian church
last nigh, by Hon. A. r. Merritt
of Churhill county concerning his
experiences at the last session Of
the state legislature and the
necessity for future reform
measures and progressive legislation
in the state. He spoke very
forcibly concerning the divorce evils
in Nevada and presented facts that
were astounding to the audience.
He quoted authority for his figures
in every instance.
In the course of his remarks, he
stated that during the past three
years there have been 1900
divorces granted in Reno. Only
ten Of these were native Ne
vadsns. There are $50 now
REGISTERED for divorce in the city.
He also stated on authority that
no divorce case would in the
future be handled by any attorney
for less than two hundred and fifty
dollars. OF the SS6 now registered
for divorce only 20 Of the number
are men. They consist mo silly of
women who have married in the
wealthy families Of the east and in
many cases lead fast lives. Their

A woman, about 50 years Of

trek walker. He heard a noise in
the car and opening the door found
a woman, thinly clad and without
shoes, pacing back and forth in the

days before, but thinking it W as a
hobo paid no attention to it. The
woman had been al! that time

She was taken to Truckee and

KING GEORGES GOLD MINES

The approaching coronation in
London, with is medieval pomp
and the relics of the ceremonies
of by-gone ages. brings to mind an
old mining statute which is still
among the laws Of the United
Kingdom, but which has not been
enforced for hundreds of years
past
Accordingly. there is in circulation
today 1854. 2S6. 600 of gold mined
in the British dominions in 1910.
TO which King George is legally
empowered to lay claim. Cor
respondingly. too, he is entitled
to several billions dollars Of geld
mined in British South Africa and
West Africa. Australia, India.
British East Indies and Guiana.
Canada. etc. in the past hundred
years or more, during which time
the crown has neglected to assert
its statutory rights.
1t seems safe to that
never in the future will these
statu tory rights be asserted. The
upheaval Of the British Empire
would be almost certain. The
opposition OF the colonies would
be enormous as well as well con-
certed, for manifest reasons; no.
would the opposition in England
itself be less pronounced. consider
ing that hundreds of millions of
dollars of coal and iron machinery.
food products and clothing are
shipped annually to British mining
colonies. and that this trade would
be deleteriously affected.
The statute is a relic of
medieval ages. 1t was in those
days considered that the possession
of the sources of gold in other
hands than those o; the sovereign
would be a continual and
threatening source of danger to
the king and to the safety of the
nation. Today the greatst source
of danger to any nation would lie
in concentrating in the hands of
its executive a yearly output on
gold as colossal as is that of the
British dominions. amounting.
indeed. in 1910 to 50 per cent Of
the gold output of the entire
world Chicago Mining World.
