OLD RATES

After investigating the charge
that excessive rates were charged by
the Tonopah sewer company, the
State Utility Commission has decid-
ed that the rates must stand. They
stated, however. that should the peo
pie generally make connections. thus
giving the company sufficient pat
ronagc. that the rates could be re-
duced. The average charge for the
service in Tonopah is fixed at $4l
per month. Both the company and
the citizens are at war over the
problem. The company scored in

The Government has announced
for water or mineral discovery by
divining rod means. The bulletin
goes into detail regarding the talacy
OF this mode of locating water or
mineral.
The diving rod game is an old one
and it is likely that every section OF
America has been visited by some
water witch in its history Somc
strange discoveries have resulted,
but as a whole more money has
gone ont in the water or mineral To-
cations through diving rods than
ever came III.
This section has had Hs turn at
such an effort. The late Dave NOrle
did some wonderful stunts with his
mechanical dirining rod. 1t was not
possible to hide precious metals from
him in a room. He located it to the
wonder OF many and did it rcpated-
". This led to many attempts at
location OF precious minerals. Norie.

steam plant was erected to follow
the divining rod To water level. A
small stringer OF high grade gold
ore was opened up but never IN paw
ing quantities.
Other sections OF the state were
prospected by Kirman and Norrie
and in no instance was any great
mine opened up. Norrie and kir-
man joined the silent majority be-
lieving in the rod and only the hand
OF death stopped operations.

affairs, inflicting untold hardships on
poor people; and few things of that
kind; the real legislation of this pres

any of the burdens which rest heavily
on the shoulders of the masses, but
on the contrary, enacted by a Demo-
