Mormon Stakes

Sections fo southern and eastern
Nevada have been recognized as the
stronghold of the Mormon church
in this State. That this church is
growing there is no question as the
following from the Clark County
Review shows something along this
line: Persons attending the Moapi
Valley railroad celebration last week
perhaps observed the presence of
several high dignitaries of the
Church of Latter Day Saints. The
Review has learned that the reason
for their presence was the fact that
a stake" was being organized to
comprise the Mormon population of
Clark and Lincoln counties.

Primary Election Law Should Make a Change

With the coming on of the pri-
maries and elections to select both a
member of congress and a senator
in congress this fall, considerable
interest has been aroused in
recent national legislation limit
ing the amounts to be lawfully ex-
pended by candidates in their cam
paigns and requiring publication of
all contributions and expenditures.
The act now in force on the sub
ject is the act of June %, 1910, as
amended August 10Th, 1911, and is
to be found in volume 36. United
States statutes, page S22 and fol-
lowing. 1t is a comprehensive law
and its provisions do not seem to be
generally known.
The law provides a limit of 5000
to the expenditure of a man seeking
the office of congressman, including
expenses of both primary and gen.
eral election. For a United States
senatorial candidate the limit for
primary and general election ex-
Penses is 0,000. Not only is the
limit fixed, bet there are numerous
requirements providing for state
ments before and after election as
to all expenditures in detail.
No penalty ) named in the law
but all statements are required to
be filed upon oath, affording a way
of prosecution for false swearing,
and it is possible that there may be
a prosecution and penalty under a
provision covering all cases where a
penalty is not named. At any rate
the violation of such provisions
when brought to the attention of
congress would be sufficient evidence
upon which TO deny seat.

If Nevada would convert its low
interest-bearing bonds of Eastern
states and municipalities that rep
resents the surplus of the State
Treasury into cash and loan it to the
farmers of the state at fair rate of
interest, the value of the state and
its development would be beyond all
description, estimation or conception
says an exchange. Now this is ex-
actly what is going on in Oregon,
the most progressive state in. the
Union, when legislation is being
figured. Something like Sc, 800, 600
of Oregon money is now being used
by the farmers of that state, who
pay six per cent per annum for the
privilege, and it is noteworthy that
though the rules are strict, not a
single farm loan is in the process of
foreclosure. The small borrower is
preferred and the interest money
goes into the state school fund.

CURTZ CONSOLIDATED
TAKE OVER ALPINE CO.
Now In Shape to Commence
Reduction of Ores on a
LARGE Scale.

The Curtz Consolidated Mines Co.
in Alpine county, have purchased
outright all the real and personal
property belonging to the Alpine
Mining company, consisting of four
partially developed mining claims,
aerial tramway, three-fourths of a
mile in length; with a 100-ton stamp
mill, cyanide plant, dam, power
plant, fumes, ETC., situated on the
main Carson river. The price paid
for the property is not stated.
The Curtz Consolidated Mining
company's property lies Immediately
above the Alpine property and ad-
joins the same. This company in
tends to improve and develop more
power and transmit the same to
their mines at Mogul and erect a
large concentrating plant directly
on their property, to reduce the
immense bodies of ores now develop
ed in their mines and ready for
extraction. This company has de-
veloped two bodies, one 40 the other
go feet in width. for distance of
600 feet in length. Both ore bodies
carry high values in gold, silver and
copper and the development is made
at perpendicular depths under the
surface ranging from 200 to 500
feet, showing an enormous tonnage
of highly profitable concentrating
ore. The work of developing these
properties hasbeen prosecuted con-
tinuously for over four years under

MACHINERY
ARRIVING
LuhrS Brick and Tile Plant Will
Soon be Ready to
Start Up.

The first consignment of ma
chinery for the Luhrs brick and tile
factor arrived in Carson this week
and is rapidly being assembled into
place at the yard. In all thirty-fve
tons of machinery has been pur-
chased for the plant and it will re-
quire rs horse power motor for its
operation. The machinery is de-
signed for making brick and tile.
The tiling is mainly for use among
the farmers in irrigating their lands
and draining swamps and low spots.
Large tile for sewerage is also to
be manufactured and there should
be a good field in this state for such
product.
The Appeal closes a long article on
the plant, saying: Henry Luhrs,
who is among those financing the
plant, knows what he is talking a.
bout and realizes the Importance of
tiling in the modern farm and irriga-
ton sections. Orders already have
piled in and this new industry can
be placed along with the winners in
the future of Carson and the whole
state. The machinery will be set
up within the next few weeks and
before fall the first lot of things will
be on the market. The plant is one
of the busy places in Carson and
will be more so in the near future.
Twelve men are now employed and
that number will soon be increas-
ed"

the management of Capt. P, Curtz,
a mining engineer whose experience
on the great Comstock mineral belt,
(which extends from the Comstock
mines through Pinenut, Alpine and
Mono counties,) dates back to the
early bonanza days when millions of
money was extracted, bringing
prosperity to the whole Pacific
Coast country. Mr.. Curtz has
maintained for years that under the
great outcrops existing in Alpine
county would be found immense
bonanzas of gold, silver and copper
ore which, when developed would
equal the production eff any copper
property this side of the Rocky
mountains. The developments
made in the Curtz Consolidated so
far have gone to prove his conten-
tions are correct.
The Gurtz company has over 5000
feet of tunnel, cross drifts, shafts
completed on their property and are
now pushing developments north on
the two great lodes named, which
in the near future will open con-
tinuous deposits of profitable con-
centrating ore. From ten to fifteen
miners have been constantly en-
ployed by this company in the de-
velopment of their mines and capt.
talists, mining engineers and pro-
moters are looking for successful
business in that section very soon.

REGISTER FOR
PRIMARIES

The registry books for the pri-
mary election this fall will open on
the first day of July, and all quail
fed voters must register no matter
whether they are on the old register
or not. Unless they do they will
not be permitted to vote at the
primaries. In addition to register
ing for the primary election the
voters will have to register again
for the general election to be held
in November. This is in accord
ance with the provisions of the new
law and the warning is now given
50 that all voters will not forget to
register and thus be deprived of
their rights Of franchise.
