MINING LAWS ANT|QUATED
Present Paralysis Is Partly Due
To Laxity In Enforcement of
Assessment Work

Proposed amendments Of the well.
established laws relating to metallifer-
ous minerals always raise the warmest
discussion. With the opinion of mining
tnen in general favoring the revision Of
mining laws of the United S ates and
with commission after commission ap-
pointed by various bodies to suggest
improvements. the statutes have re-
mained practically unchanged for
nearly 40 years. while the geology of
ore deposits and the technology Of
metal mining have made marvellous
progress.
Most important, perhaps. in any
amended mining law would be provision
for enforced development. principle
expressed, il 10 true, in the present law
but not made affective in it's workings
A requirement of actual use as a condi-
tion of occupancy Of mineral land can
not be regarded as either novel or radi.
cal. As regards the large acreage of
undeveloped land in many mining
camps to which patent has already been
issued, it IS perhaps true that the situa-
tion is without relief. unless the west
ern Australia plan is adopted, whereby
the government steps in aud permits
mining under lease. the proceeds of
which are assessed, collected and paid
over to the owner. The principle invok-
ed seems to be that no property owner
can rightfully oppose the developments
of the resources Of the State.
In the case OF unpstented claims q
remedy should be sought for what
has been termed "the paralysis of
mining Districts" and the rigid re.
quirement of annual assessment
work should be made actual and ef-
fective by inspection and supervision,
in order to put an end to the present
procedure of allowing claim to lie
idle for practically two .=ears after
it's location, not to mentie the many
localities where claims ass held year
after year with only perf1nctory COM
pliance, or even without any perform
ance of assessment work-a type Of local
disregard for law that is in striking
contrast to the observation accorded to
the district customs aud regulation Of
earlier DAYS. whereby the right OF pos
session was made absolutely dependent
upon continuous operation. Financial

Husky Male Teacher Wanted

Miss Margaret Walker handed her
resignation as teacher in the Bixby
School to the Board of Education yester-
day. Miss Walker is the fourth Young

"rhose boys not only threatened me, "
declared Miss Walker tearfully, "but
they proceeded TO break mp the furni-
ture."
Superintendent Graham of the Long
Beach schools has been requested by
the Board of Education to secure a
"big husky male teacher with o punch
In either hand" to take charge, and

SELLING EXPLOSIVE CARTRIDGE
Sale of Death Dealing Ammuni.
ton That Should Be Sup
pressed At Once

The Carson Appeal was recently
shown q new cartridge manufactured
by the Remington Arms Company that
should be suppressed either by State
law or city or county action. 1t is Q
new .22-calibre cartridge with an ex-
plosive bullet. Samples of the work
performed by this bullet shows that it
Is most deadly. The bullet is cast with
an air chamber. This upon hitting an
object. explodes, sending the lead in
every direction.
The .22 rifle Is mainly handled by
boys. There is not q season but that o
score are wounded In this State by this
small rife. Accidents from this small
rifle are reported daily. AS rule.
unless the bullet enters vital spot. the
youth or other party injured RECEIVERS
rapidly as the hole Is clean and small.
Cattle, horses. dogs and other animals
unless injured in q vital spot recover.
Not so with this new bullet. Should q
boy wound himself in the hand with
the new bullet IL means the amputation
of that member. A wound near the
abdomen is death. One in the head is
absolutely fatal A COW or horse shot
with this tiny explosive means the de.
struotion OF the animal with the lead
scattered in a hundred directions. II is
the most fatal instrument that has been
offered on the market.
The .22 rife is regarded as pleasure
gun. Why an arms company should
introduce such fatal and vital instru.
ment in connection with pleasure is
hard to understand. 1t should be abol.
ished by every means Of law and the
firm fined for ever making the instru-
ment Of torture and deadly effect.
The small bullet is worse than the
dreaded dun dun in comparison to size.
What has been introduced in this city is
being done over the State IL should be
suppressed. Every father should use
his influence. Every armer should see
that such q weapon is kept clear OF his
farm and the county and city authori-
ties should pass an ordinance forbidding
the sale within their Jurisdictions
There 10 fair chance for recovery
under the old style lead bullet, bat this
explosive bullet is more deadly than the
plague.

EXPLAINS STATE SCHOOL TAX
State Superintendent Bray Says
Large State Tax Is Most
Equitable Plan

State Superintendent of Public In.
struotion Bray has the following expla.
nation of the State School Tax In the
last edition Of the, Nevada School
Journal:
Many inquiries have been received
by the Superintendent Of Public In.
struotion as to The January. 1912. State
distributivs School Fund. Many ex.
pected that 1t would be much larger, as
the State school tax had been raised
from six cents on the 500 to 10 cents.
IL is well to note here that only one
half Of the counties paid in their taxes
on the basis OF 10 cents for the State
School Fund and that. in the case Of
some counties that made the levy. COM
plications on other matters prevented a
full adjustment in the State Controllers .
office. In addition to this, q consider
able amount in interest due on bonds of
other States. in which school moneys
are invested, Was not received at the
time for making the Controllers report
to the State Superintendent. and so
could not go out TO the schools.
There was sll7. .42s 80 spportioned to
the various counties IN January, 1911.
The amount so spportioned in January.
1912. was tl02. 500. 40; q falling of Of
sl4. 1853. "a. or l219 per cent.
In some OF the counties, Washoe, for
instance. the county school tax levy was
lowered to is cents on the 800. result.
ing in q falling off of $4,000 or more for
the schools of that county.
So low o county tar as Is cents on the
500 will be impossible hereafter as the
school law now fixes the minimum for
such purpose at 20 cents. The reason
for putting the school tax so low in
Washoe County was the fact that sew.
eral districts were carrying large sur.
plus. That will not occur again. how
ever. as the surplus funds are nov, by
law. required TO be redistributed in July
OF each year.
The State Distributive School Fund
Is q variable quantity In January.
1907. It was sso,542.S9; in January,
1908. si59. .3s7.I0; in January, 1909,
si49. .562. SO; in January. 1910. $780,
272.5S; in January. 1911, sll7.42S 80;
in January, 1912, sl02 $50 46.
We are gradually getting on saner
basis for financing the schools All
who have studied the question concede
that larger State tax for school pur-
poses is the most equitable plan. as it
makes the entire property Of the State
contribute to the State fund, which is
for the education Of all the children Of
the State. Aud this was the view of
the law making department Of the State
in 1911, as embodied in the new school
code.

SMOOTH OUT ROUGH PLACES
Its the Long and Strong Pull
All Together That Lands the
Business

Lack Of harmony in different depart
ments of your business is my diagnosis
Of your trouble" said the Business
Doctor. THE manager Of the diff.
ferent departments are not pulling
together. The greatest necessity in the
modern business house is absolute co-
operation on the part of every indi-
vidual. from the proprietor down to the
man who sweeps the place.
"The trouble is generally with some
one man, aud it is your duty as the
proprietor of the establishment to find
out who that man is and get him out
of the place quickly, no matter how
valuable he may seem to be. The old
Biblical statement that house divided
against itself cannot stand is as true to-
day as 10 was when written.
II know of one merchant who re-
Gently had problem of this sort to
solve. The managers of two depart
ments got at loggerheads and were

merchant one day called them both IN to
his Office and told them that he had
discovered that they were causing lot
OF dissens sion aud that he hadn't time
TO listen to their troubles any longer.
That before they had come to his office
he had taken q coin out OF his pocket
and named the heads side for one oI
them and the tails for the other, and
had Tipped it on his desk. making o
memorandum of which side came up.
He did not want to discharge either, as
they were equally valuable to him, bu,
the very next report of trouble coming
from either Of them he would instantly
discharge the man whose name he had
on his memorandum. The trouble was
never repeated.
"It's the long pull, the strong pull
and the pull all together that lands the
business. It's what the French call
esprit de corps which makes success.
