PATRICK ACQUITTED BY
JURY AT CARSON CITY

Saturday afternoon jury in the
Patrick case, after being out about
ten minutes, brought in verdict of
not guilty and the defendant was freed
from the charges preferred against
him.
The case has been one of the most
important ever tried in the state and
was the outcome of the wildcat
mining practices of the early days of
Goldfeld.
The stock of the Manhattan Miz-
pah Mining company was put upon
the market and the entire promotion
stock was placed in the hands of the
Patrick, Elliott and Camp company,
together with the treasury stock of
three hundred thousand shares. The
stock was held in escrow in the John
the payment of Is cents by the brok-
ers to the bank, share of the stock
was released and sent to the purchaser.
The stock was not sold for less than
twenty-five cents and the difference
between the two figures named, was
the profit of the brokers.
No money was placed in the treas
ury of the company but the greater
portion, if not all of the promotion
stock was sold. The stock was adver-
tised as treasury stock for sale
over the country and orders were rush
ed in from everywhere.
Later on the buyers of the stock
found that there was no money in the
treasury and after investigation found
that there never had been any and
that the money received from the sale
of the stock had reverted to the pro,
moters.
AS an outcome, Patrick was indict-
ed for the crime of using the mails to
defraud and the two first juries failed
to agree upon verdict, and this last
one freed him.
Patrick was defended by Attorney
Key Pittman while the interests of
the government were looked out for
by u. s. Attorney Platt.-Carson City
News.

PELTONS RESIGN
THEIR POSITIONS

John +. Pelton, president and gen
eral manager of the National Mines
company, has rendered his resignation
for the latter position to the board of
directors of the company. George s.
Pelton has also resigned as secretary.
The board of directors will meet at
National, in regular session, on We'd
nesday, April 5, at which time the
designations will be acted upon and
the positions filed by election. No
reason is assigned for the designations,
but the fact that Mr.. Pelton still re-
tains the presidency of the company
would indicate that strained relations
with the balance Of the board do not
exist.
John f. and George s. Pelton were
elected to their respective Offices on
August 81, 1909, the day the present
owners of the property acquired con
troll. Since that time the estate has
been developed from a prospect into
one of the greatest mines of the
world. Machinery has been installed,
reduction plants and new buildings
erected, until today it is possible to
mine and reduce the ore on the ground
at Hihiihum cost anu Win the sihdn
est possible waste.
Aside from paying for these inn
provements out of the mines pro-
duction, frequent dividends have been
paid to the stockholders. Including
the 10 per cent which will be paid on
the first of April, the total dividends
paid will approximate so per cent. Un.
der the Pelton regime the stock has
advanced from value of few cents
share to the neighborhood of $500
As yet no names have been talked
of as successors to the Peltons, and it
is not probable that the public will
have any intimation of who the new
officials will be until they are an
nounced by the board of directors.

DEMOCRATS BEGIN
T|NKER|NC TARIFF

Advices from Washington are to the
effect that Chairman Underwood ex-
poets that the Democratic members of
the house committee on ways and
means will begin work on the tariff
this week, and that when the extraor-
dinary session meets on April some
plan will have been mapped out to
govern the procedure after the bill to
carry out the Canadian reciprocity
agreement has been framed.
The most complex question to come
before the committee is whether any
tariff questions will be placed upon
the Canadian bl-i as riders, or whether
such schedules as the committee de-
cides should be revised shall be treat
ed as separate measures.
The certainty that hearings will be
demanded by producing and manufac-
turing interests may determine the
committee not to complicate the Cana
dian question with consideration of
such schedules as wool and woolens,
cotton or agricultural implements. The
majority is unit in favor of the
Canadian agreement, and is believed it
will be kept separate from other tar
III HndJIeTS.
Contrary to the general report, Rep
resentative Peters, of Massachusetts,
will not introduce the Canadian bill to
be presented almost Immediately upon
the convening of congress. That honor
will fall to Chairman Underwood, fol-
lowing the practice of having revenue
measures presented by the chairman
of the ways and means committee.
Although the prospects are that the
Canadian bill will not carry general
tariff revision as a rider, it is not i'm
probable it may go a great deal furth-
er than the Mccall bill, which passed
the house in the last session. At the
same time the Mccall bill will be fol-
lowed so far as it was designed to
carry out the terms of the agreement
with Canada. The difference between
the measures probably will be in the
nature of an additional provision
which would give the president power
to enter into freer commercial rela-
tions with Canada regarding articles
not named by the agreement.

Word has been received by the
local officials of the Western Pacific
that regular passenger service will be
resumed on the 25th instant. Al
though the line is now open and
freight and special trains are running
through, it was considered advisable
to delay opening the regular passeng-
er service until the roadbed had again
been placed in a first t-class condition,
after the damages resulting from the
snow and landslides of the past win
ter.
1t has been announced from the gen
eral offices of the company that there
will be no further delays in freight
traffic and that the company is now
prepared to accept all freight offered
which will be delivered to its destina-
tion ON schedule time.

GREAT ROOSEVELT DAM
OPENED IN ARIZONA

Roosevelt Dam and Power Plant,
Salt River Valley, Arizona; decated
March Is, 1911, by former President
Theodore Roosevelt; first stone laid
September 20, 1906; completed Feb
ruary 5, 1911. Type of dam, rubble
masonry arch gravity; maximum
height, $50 feet; length of crest, 1850
feet; contents, $4,000 cubic yards;
develops 1900 horsepower, transmit
ted to Phoenix, rs miles distant. Res

stores ~ times more water than ia
nous reservoirs in the east, New Gro
ton Waehusett and Ashokan reservoirs
combined; insures ample supply for
irrigating 100000 acres of land in Salt
river valley.
When Colonel Roosevelt journeyed
the seventy-fve miles from Phoenix to
the Roosevelt dam there was every
evidence of the advancement the west
has made in recent years. All the
ranchers turned out in automobiles and
so popular was the new mode of travel
that all horses and all vehicle traffic
except motor ears was ordered off the
splendid roadway that has been built
for travel between the Capital CITY
of Arizona and the dam. 1t is
a splendid tribute tao the success OF
reclamation that the farmers are so
nrosnerous What the Salt riv-
er valley can do in products was PLAIN

MANY IMPORTANT
MEASURES PASSED

The state legislature closed its SEES
sion Thursday night and thus passed
into history. Many needed laws were
enacted, and while several bills were
left in committee at the close, or fail
ed to be acted upon, none were OF
pressing Importance.
So far as the state at large is con.
cerned, perhaps the most important
enactment was the bill introduced in
the senate by Senator Bell, of this
county. 1t provides a minimum as
sessed value of $1.25 per acre ON all
lands in the state. Heretofore, in
some localities, railroad and contract
lands have been assessed as low as ten
cents per acre. Under the new law
the assessed valuation of the state
will be materially increased
Among other important laws passed
was the banking act, which dispenses
with the state bank receiver, turning
his duties over to the state bank ex.
aminer.
A law was enacted which gives the
state jurisdiction over the 100000
acre land grant from the Federal gov
ernment and assures a revenue to the
commonwealth from this source.
What is known as the Publicity
Bill creates a commission, to be ap-
pointed by the governor, which will
have control of the duties of state
publicity commissioner, abolished by
the same act.
Primary Law Amended.
The primary election law was
amended in several particulars. Here
after the sample ballots will not be
published, which will have the effect
of saving hundreds of dollars to every
county in the state. County conven-
tions may be held by each political
party, for the purpose of adopting plat
forms and naming committees. Under
the old law candidates had until ten
days after the primary for fling petit
tions for places on the ticket, but now
that must be done not later than the
day of the primary. Parties wishing
to have their names placed on the
ballot, may do so by fling an affidavit,
signed by FIVE qualified voters. Here
tofore it was required that petition
be filed containing the names of Ger
tain percentage of the qualified vot-
ers of the petitioner political party.
New Anti Gambling Law Passed.
A new gambling law was passed
which does not expressly prohibit the
playing of cards in clubs or other
places for pastime. Gambling for
stakes, however, constitutes a felony,
as under the old law.
Local Legislation
Considerable Legislation of local
character was secured by the Hum
boldt county delegation.
A bond issue Of $4,000 was author
lied for the construction of county
high school at Winnemucca, and a
$4,000 bond issue by the town for
building an addition to the public
school building.
The county commissioners were
authorized to fix the salaries of jus
tices of the peace and constables at
Paradise and National.
The county clerk was given authori-
ty to appoint deputy during those
portions of the year ms services may
be required, at a salary of $500 per
day.
During the assessment season, for
the purpose of assessing and collecting
taxes on itinerant bands of sheep,
the county assessor is authorized to
appoint a deputy ut salary OF $500
per day.
For total of four months during
the year the county treasurer is allow
ed deputy at salary of 800 per
month.
