NO ASSAYS MADE BY
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Atttenion IS called by the United
States geological survey to the fact
that it does not make analyses or as
saws of ores or metals for the public.
MANY specimens and samples are
received by the survey, accompanied
bys requests for such treatment, with
which it is impossible to comply. The
most that can be done in such cases
is for the survey geolog;st to give an
off hand opinion based on a simple
examination of the specimen: but if
an assay is desired the proper course
is to employ a private assaver or to
send the specimen to one of the gov
ernment assay Offices. where a regu
lar charge is made for such work
When specimens are sent to the sur
vey for examination, applicants should
be particular to state whether they
wish them returned, as otherwise they
will be destroyed. Government assav
Offices are located at Carson, Neva
da, Seattle Washington. Boise. Idaho.
Helena, Montana, Deadwood, South
Dakota, Salt Lake City, Utah, and
Charlotte. North Carolina.

GOV. .ODDIF'S ARBOR
DAY PROCLAMATION

The planting of a tree returns to
the world the largest interest on the
cost and labor involved of any in
vestment it is possible to make.
The acorn, planted by some hand in
an idle moment, becomes the giant
oak, and generations of men and
women, in childhood, youth and age,
will find it's sturdy symmetry grateful
TO the eye, and its shade refreshing
during the summers of unnumbered
years. The act which brought the
tree forth was little, few moments
or an hour to the task; but who can
compute the value, throughout the
cycle of life, of majestic tree?
It is the absence of trees and shrub
berry grasses and flowers, which cause
the desert s spell of fear and dread to
men. Nowhere else on earth, as in the
desert country, does man so rejoice
at the vision of trees and foliage.
For they declare life in an otherwise
lifeless landscape.
Every tree, planted and cared for,
in Nevada is a blessing and an heri-
tage to the state. I wish we could
more fully appreciate the economic as
tnesive tree planting; of thos varie-
ties most adapted to our soil and
climate. 1t is matter of greater
public moment than we as yet appre-
ciate. For Nevaa' s primary demand.
today is for settlers, and the home
seeker is attracted as well by the
things which grace human living, as
those which appeal to his desire to
prosper. 1t us make it a point this
year, to plant as many trees in this
state, each man, woman and child of
us, as we can, and care for those we
plant.
Therefore. 7, Tasker L. Oddie, Gov
ernor of the State of Nevada, in pur-
suance of the act of the state legisla-
ture. approved March %, 1911. do
hereby proclaim Friday the nineteenth
day of April, 1912, as Arbor day, to
be observed with appropriate exer-
cises by the public schools of the
state. as contemplated by the law. and
by the voluntary observance of as
many of our citizens as NAV be will
ing to aid in tn egreat work of beau
tifying the Nevada landscape
Tn testimony whereof. ! have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the State of
Nevada. Done at Carson City, this Sd
day of April. in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and
twelve.

which occupied every pew and chair
which had been placed in the aisle

ed with lilies, while large bouquets of
roses were placed at intervals inside
the chancel. The Pascal candle. stand

brilliancy to the occasion.

ist, Mrs. F. Hearn, Miss Lucy Lave
aga, Miss Electa Hurst and Miss
Rolalie Roberts.

REPLY TO "ROOS.
EvELT REPUBLICAN,

Winnemucca, Nevada, April 8, 1912
Editor Silver State:
In last evenings issue of the local
organ of the Democracy I notice what
was no doubt intended to be rather
humorous accaunt of the Republican
mass convention, held last Saterday, at
which delegates were selected to rep
resent Humboldt county in the Repub-
lican state convention, to be held at
Fallon on the 9th prox That the
writer, who styles himself "Roose-
welt Republican, is true disciple
of the Big Wind himself, is shown
by the self-evident fact that he is
a hard loser, and the further reason
that he finds it necessary to break
into an opposition paper to air his al
legged grievances.
The writer shows that he is a
stranger to Humboldt county political
conditions, for instead of Republicans
falling over themselves in an endeav-
or to secure an opportunity of repre-
senting the county at the state con-
vention, as one would infer from a
perusal of his article, it is extreme
ly difficult to find nine men who are
willing to incur the expense of making
the trip.
The time and place for holding the
meeting had been advertised for two
weeks and was known to every voter
in the county. Roosevelt Republicans
had an opportunity to be in attendance
and voice their sentiments. Had this
particular Roosevelt Republican
been present. he would have heard the
reasons for the committees s action in
appointing th edelegates explained in
the opening address of Chairman Mel
son, who stated that it had been
deemed advisable to choose the dele
cation in the manner selected owing
to lack of sufficient funds in the com
mittee treasury to bear the expense of
primary
In conclusion, let us express the
hone that long before November there
viii be no factions in the Republican
party. but that all its members will
be found working in harmony for the
success of the nominees of the Chi
eago convention, whoever they may
