CONCENTRATOR INCREASES OUTPUT

The output of the concentrator at
McGill was increased on Friday by
putting into operation of another
section of the great mill. This makes
seven sections now being operated;
something which has not been done
since early last year. The concen-
traitor has four units, each unit be-
ing composed of two sections. so
that now the big mill is being run to
very near its utmost capacity.
The Steptoe Smelling and Mining
company is taking advantage cf an
abundance of water at Duck Creek,
caused by the thaw and the recent
storms to work its concentrator; and

concern will be running in full blast.
This is good news for the district;
the best kind of news; sor 1t means
that for the present the output OF
the Copper Flat pit must be increas-
ed to 5000 tons a day. TO 10000
tons. II not more when the four
units are all in operation.
1t means more work for the pit;
more men to be employed; and 1t
means the same thing for the plant
at McGill; it means the expenditure
of more money in the district; and,
incidently, the manufacture of about
100000 pounds of copper by the
Nevada Consolidated.

More Than Three
Hundred Bills

APPORT|ONMENT BILL PASSES
Fmmer's Measure Increasing
Membership of Law Making
Body Meets With Favor

CARSON CITY, New, March 10
The present session of the Nevada
legislature will come to a close at
midnight March 16, and 1t will be a
memorable one from the standpoint
of the number of bills introduced
Over three hundred bills Will have
been submitted to the consideration
of the assembly, and IL Is more than
likely that not more than one out
of every six will receive favorable
action at the hands of the members
of both branches. During the past
several sessions, the number of la
Dor bills introduced, have been con-
stantly growing, but during the ses-
sion of 1911, the number of these
bills greatly exceeds those OF former
sessions.
A sensation was sprung IN me as
sembly when Hacke intro
.duced a resolution anding an
yt Yestigation of the charges made
the Exy Exposi.cr sad Goldfield
sws. TO the effect that members of
i. e. legislature had been guilty of
misconduct. 1t has been charged
that members have been having their
board and lodging in Carson PEI
corporate interests. owing 10
fact that Hackers resolution di1 not
give the committee the necessary
power TO paEe 4 thorough .investi-
cation. a second resolution for the
same purpose was introduced by
Merritt of Churchill. This measure
was carried by an unanimous vote
in the assembly and there is no qnes-
tion but what those who are res
ponsible for the charges will be given
an opportunity of telling the COM
mittee all they know concerning
them.
One of the most stubbornly con-
tested fight in the assembly this ses-
sion was over the Fulmer apportion-
ment bill. Several of the committee
were scheduled TO lose representa-
tives, and as a result. did all in their
power to block legislation along ap-
portionment lines. Nye, Storey and
Ormsby counties were among those
and they took advantage of every
parliamentary tactic TO postpone or
defeat the bill. In order TO placate
several of the counties and get them
into line for the bill, Fulmer and
Enslow consented to give up one of
the five assemblymen they had ask
ed for. for White Pine county and
Washoe cut out one of the three
senators asked for The represen-
tatives from the counties losing
legislators offered many cross
amendments and after several hours
had been spent in roll calls on the
different amendments, a substitute
was offered by Schmidt of Nye,
which received the same treatment
as the different amendments and was
voted down. On the final vote for
the passage of the bill. the vote was
yeas 81. nays 13, absent 3. not vot-

every direction Before the enemy
realized it. ample time had been Sc
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was a
great auditorium in which free con-
certs, lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be-
completely cut off from the other
business Every afternoon he assem-
bled in the auditorium the workers
and speakers. and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion of the issues, of what was to be
said in the speeches of the night, OF
the places to be covered The man
showed a genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de-
veloped a power of succinctly pre-
senting the facts, which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers
Livingstone Haldane's example had
been followed by not a few young men
of fortune and position. 1t became in
a certain sense among a certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly.
Automobiles of all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers. and
classes and social distinctions were
wiped out in the greater issues in
volved. By these methods what was
picturesquely described in the city pa
pers as a whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated

opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had it's activities been so great.
its energies SO manifestly put forth
1t had welcomed with Joy the news of
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate of the minority party. Lift
fey had at once decided in his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest. and
ablest of the group, was not con-
WINGED, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party in power to make a
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. 1t was hailed on one
side as an evidence of the fairness
of the party in power and the Sachem
society, which many people imagined
| needed no alliance of that kind. 1t

fact that the party in power had moth

outs to its councils, and that it was

that would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people

litical manifestos, had been printed
in every paper in the city. They were
paid for as other advertisements are

journals which owed much to its influ-

they had summarily refused any more
