Settlers on national forests under
the act of June II, 1906, will no
longer have to pay for a survey,
as they have had to in the past
on unsurveyed lands, when the
claim goes to patent. This re-
lieves many settlers under the act
commonly known as the forest
homestead law, from burdensome
expense. Relief from this burden
has been brought about by an
agreement between the secretary
of the interior and the secretary
OF agriculture, whereby surveys
made by employees of the forest
service will be under the super
vision of the surveyor general, so
that they can be accepted by the
general land office as final.
Hitherto it has been necessary
to make two surveys. Under the
terms of the forest homestead law.
national forest land cannot be open
ed to settlement unless the score
ta'E Of agriculture has rec :nlmend-
ed to the $, cretary, of re interiu"
that it be listed for settlement;
and listing is not possible until a
survey has been made. The Sec
rotary of agriculture has no au-
thority to list any land unless an
examination has shown that the
land is more suitable for agricul-
ture than for forest purposes. So
when land is applied for, employees
of the department of agriculture
are sent to ascertain its character,
and at the same time make a sur
yey of it by metes and bounds if
a survey is necessary.
This survey, however, could not
be accepted by the land depart
ment as basis for patent, because

new DISTRICT
HAS JUST BEEN
ORGANIZED

The miners of Gold Basin dis
trict, in the southwestern part of
Lander county, held their first meet
ing at Carroll last Monday night
\ name for the town and camp
was decided upon; a district record
er was chosen; the boundaries of
the district were determined and
several other matters of Importance
We're settled. The new mining
town was christened Carroll, after
the name of Charles Carroll of Aus
tin, says the Reveille, who was al
the discovery; who has stayed with
the camp like a mother with a new
born babe; who has spent one Win
ter there and is now in sight of
the fortune he has earned
Some wanted to stay by the
name of Gold Basin, but it was
pointed out that there is already in
Northern Lander camp by that
name, and that the postoffiee Off
cials have put the ban on new
offices in Nevada having a name
beginning with Gold. From Gold
field to Gold Circle there is gold
and this and gold that until a mail
clerk can scarcely direct letter
to its proper destination.
SO it will be Carroll. Lander
county, Nevada.
The district formed will be known
as the Gold Basin district. 1t is
bounded on the north by Smith
creek, on the east by Smith creek
valley, on the south by Burnt Cabin
summit and canyon. and on the
west by East Gate
c. V. Rockville was chosen as
district mining recorder.
The meeting voted for the strict
enforcement of the Nevada state
law as to the amount of location
work required on mining claims.
1t was also voted that all illega
claim jumping be discouraged in
every way possible and that such
jumpers be summary dealt with
A committee of inspection to de-
termine whether or not the re-
quired 24O cubic feet in shaft or
cut has been done within the time
required by law, was appointed.
This committee consists of Steve
Chatlos, j. A. O'Brien, James Watt,
Joe Borrego and V. c. Rockville.
The new camp of Carroll is II
miles east of East Gate, and the
prospectors report free gold pan
nings over wide territory. The
locality is pretty well staked.
The Gold Basin Mining company
the principal operator, has taken
out close to 900 sacks of high
grade gold ore in "a shaft less than
80 feet in depth.

Stop pinu an Artery.

The prompt application of the tour.
niquet or even of the finger to stop the
bleeding Of an artery before the doc
tor comes will often save life. A
wound anywhere below the middle OF
the upper arm or below the middle of
the thigh may be easily stopped by a
tournisuet. The simplest improvised
form of this implement. which may be
always found ready to hand, is linen
handkerchief and strong stick. The
best place to apply the tournlquet for
wound OF the arm Is above the ell
bow, where the pulsations of an ar
terry may be felt by any one. The
handkerchief should be tied around the
arm rather loosely. The stick Is thrust
in and turned to tighten ii until the
blood ceases to fow or course this
Is only a temporary relief till the com
ing OF the doctor, who, in case of seri-
GUS bleeding. mast be summoned as
soon as possible. When you have moth.
ing at hand In case Of sudden acct
dent even the pressure OF the forefin-
ger and the thumb over the wound
may arrest the flow OF blood for the
time.
