Mining.
Mineral found in the surface rock,
alone, will not amount to discovery.
unless the same contains ore in pay
ing quantities.
Discovery cannot be claimed sim
ply because the surface indications,
combined with the geological inferenc, g
indicate that other and unconnected
veins or lodes lie at greater depth.
The following elements are neces-
sary to constitute q valid discovery
upon lode mining claim. 1. There
must be vein or lode of quartz or
other rock in place. 2. The quartz or
other rock in place must carry gold or
some other valuable mineral deposit.
3. The two preceding elements, when
taken together, must be such as to
warrant a prodent man in the expendi-
ture of his time and money in the ef-
fort to develop valuable mine.
Note-The above two mining decis-
ions are Of great Importance. The de-
partment reaffirms the rule in East
Titanic Mining Co. (4O L. D. 271) and
thus reverses a rule of departmental
construction which had prevailed for
thirty years.
Under the mining regulations, re-
lating to publication, the notice must
be advertised in each issue Of the
paper published during the required
period of publication except the first
day Of issue.
If the designated newspaper be one
that is published weekly, the adver-
tisement must be in nine consecu-
tive issues OF such paper to fulfill the
requirement; if in a daily paper, the
notice would be required to be ad-
vertised in sixty-one consecutive is
sues of the paper; if lin a tri-weekly
paper, the notice would be required to
appear in each issue for sixty days.
The cast deposits of low grade ore
in the public domain which possess no
special or peculiar value for sturctur-
al building purposes are not subject to
disposition under the placer mining
laws and the act of August 4, 1892.
An. individual owning two or more
contiguous placer mining locations
cannot, by the amendment of one or
more of such locations embrace in
such amended location an area larger
than could have been included in a
single original location. Such attempt
ed amendment, however will not be
held to constitute abandonment of the
original locations
Land withdrawn and classified by
the government as coal land while it
raises a presumption as to the char
acter of the land does not necessarily
question the right of state thereto
under its school grant, being part of
school section identified by the pub
lie land surveys.

ROUS|NC MASSEY
RALLY AT ELKO
Especial to the Silver State.)

ELKO, Oct. 17.-During yesterday
afternoon this town rapidly filled up
with residents from every part of the
county, attracted here by the an
nouncement that Senator Massey
would deliver an address in the even.
ing.
Last night the streets were ablaze
with light from one end to the other,
numerous Nonires adding to the bril-
liant illumination. A procession com.
posed of more than 200 citizens march
ed in line to do honor to Nevada's IL
lustrious citizen. Bankers, lawyers,
business and professional men, and
citizens from every walk of life We'd

strating their belief that he is the
right man to represent them in the
United States Senate.
Massey Heads Procession.
The parade was formed in front of
the courthouse early in the evening
and, led by Senator Massey and es-
corted BY troop of horsemen, march

playing and drums beating, Senator
Massey led the parade through the
brilliantly lighted and decorated
streets, and the crowds lining the
sidewalks were treated to an old
fashioned torchlight procession.
Judge Taber Presides at Meeting.
The stage at the opera house was
handsomely decorated with the Ma.
tional colors, Judge Massey's portrait
occupying prominent place. All of
the Republican candidates for county
Offices occupied seats on the platform.
Judge Taber opened the meeting with
one of his characteristic speeches, pay
ing an eloquent tribute to Senator
Massey, whom he said was beloved by
the citizens of Elko county and need
ed no introduction to his audience.
Senator Massey spoke for fully an
hour and half, holding the close at
tention of the audience, and was in.
terrupt"d by frequent applause. Sell
dom has political speaker had the
sympathy of his hearers to the same
degree ns did Senator Massey last ev-
ening. Speaking extemporaneously,
he seemed to say the right thing at the
right time in order to make his points
clear and clneh his arguments.
Senator Massey put himself square
ly on record last evening, pledging
himself to certain things that the vot-
els of Nevada cannot afford to over
lcok when casting votes for United
States Senator. He explained and
justified his votes on certain measures
that came up before the Senate while

statement, 81 will do it again if the

TOMORROW Will
Be CRITICAL DAY
Especial to the Silver Stats.)

1
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Although Col
onel Roosevelt's temperature rose to
80 degrees during last night, he is
resting easily today, with chances in
favor of his speedy recovery. The
physicians, however, state that tomor.
row will be the critical day.
1t was learned yesterday for the
| first time that the fourth nib on the
fright side of the patient had been
fractured by the bullet, which ac-
counts for his difficulty in breathing.
The X-ray plate made in Milwaukee
failed to locate the bullet, and another
one will probably be taken.
President Taft issues Statement.
President Taft issued a statement
on board the Mayflower Tuesday after.
noon relative to the shooting of Col
onel Roosevelt
81 cannot withhold an expression Of
horror" he said, cat the act of the
maniac who attempted to assassinate
Colonel Roosevelt.
"When / briefly expressed my re-
gret last night" the president q state
ment continued, az had been informed
that Colonel Roosevelt was then speak
ing and had escaped injury. The news
this morning, however, is of q more
serious character. I feel the deepest
sympathy for Mr.. Roosevelt and his
family, and ] pray that the wound
may prove to be only flesh wound,
and that, as the surgeons predict, there
may be no complications.
"This assault, following the shoot
ing of Mayor Gaynor two years ago
and the assassination of three out Of
the last nine presidents elected BY
our people, are events that must cause
solemn reflection by all Americans
upon conditions that make it possible
that such dastardly deeds may occur
in country affording to it's citizens
such complete advantages of civil
liberty.
1T is, of course, difficult entirely to
avoid the malignant purpose of the
cunningly insane. The severe inforce-
ment of the laws against the carrying
of concealed weapons and the more
rigorous and certain prosecution of all
such attempted crimes, whether
against prominent or less conspicuous
persons, are, of course, helpful; but
the condemnation of all good citizens
of such acts and their cooperation in
preventing the spread Of vicious doc
trines which would excuse or palate
an attempt to remedy fancied wrongs
by resort to violence will be more
effective.
81 speak for the American people in
expressing the profound hope that
Colonel Roosevelt may speedily recov-
er from the effects Of this dastardly
act.'
Mr.. Taft sent messages to Colonel
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt, respec-
lively, as follows:
81 am greatly shocked to hear Of
the outrageous and deplorable assault
made upon you, and / earnestly hope
and pray that your recovery may be
speedy and without suffering.
"W. H. TAFT
''I extend TO you my heartfelt sym
pathy in your present distress. |
hope and pray that you and
your family and the country may be
promptly relieved of suspense by
news that all danger is passed.
