Big PLACER
DEPOSIT IS
OPENED UP
Nuggets of Great Value Are
Found South of Old Camp
of Galena
BIG BOOM TO FOLLOW
Primitive Mining Methods In
Use But Men Are Making
Fortune Rapidly

Finding occasional gold nuggets
running as high as S72 apiece, while
with average sands three to four
men are clearing up better than
500 a day at the new placer de-
posits twenty miles south of the old
camp of Galeua promises big things
when worked by modern methods
wherein large tonnage with high
recoveries may be handled. Lee
Lakin. we'll known Utah-Nevada
mining operator, came in from
that part of Nevada says the Her.
aid Republican. He says that u
great deal of interest has been
created at the mouth of Copper
Canyon. The discovery was made
by Messrs. Dahl and Christensen
They are now operating the prop
erty with the best contrivances at
hand, the old fashioned hand rock
ers and crude dry washer pro-
cess. Yet in spite of these slow
methods they are making money
fast. For the rockers they are la
boriously hauling their water a
distance of five miles. Yet it pays.
= Much of the gold is coarse, and
the sand deposit seems to be a
large one. The best results have
been found at the edge of the foot
hills. Here they have evidently
opened up an ancient river channel.
Some of the gold is still clinging
to quartz particles. Nearly all the
gold shows more or less iron stain.
Some think it an old pleistocene
or glacial deposit, probably drag
ged down there from a rich neigh
boring out cropping quartz ledge.
The fact that the auriferious bars
lie crosswise Of the gulch prove
that they antedate the flow which
slashed out this particular canyon
cut. At any rate the boys are clean
ing up a good thing and their sue
cess is attracting considerable at
tention.

OUR OWN MAJOR MILLER

Attorney General Thatcher in his
report to Gov. Oddie, made public
yesterday, pays a high tribute to
Major Miller our popular and effic-
lent county Treasurer. The report
is not as flattering to some men
high in the Offices of the State.
The paragraph referring to Major
Miller says:
MIR. H. M. Miller, bank exami-
ner, did not take kindly to the
action Of the bank commissioners
in annuling and resembling his or
der which prohibited trading ac-
counts and on March 13, 1908 tend
cred his resignation as bank exami-
ner, which was accepted. The
records, proceedings and actions Of
Mr.. Miller throughout his official
connection an hank examiner show
that he was an honest man and did
all within his power for the pro-
lection Of the depositors of the
bank. and had his instructions been
carried out the depositors would
have recovered practically all that
was due them and dark blot on
the fair name of the State avoided.

In reference to Judge Laugan the
report says:
If grounds for impeachment
should not exist against Judge
Frank P. Langan, grounds for his
removal do exist, as shown by the
foregoing record, and it is the duty
of the legislature, under the facts
which can and will be presented,
to remove him.
In view of the fact that it will
be necessary that a special session
of the legislature be called before
the naXt election, we deem it nee
essary that such special session be
called at as early a date as practic-
able in order that the charges
against Frank P. Langan may be
presented to the legislative body,
and, if found true that he be
removed from the office of district
judge of the first judicial district
court of the state of Nevada.
Several recommendations relative
to the manner in which the affairs
of Receiver Wildes should be hand
led are made. Wildes is accused
of misfeasapce and malfeasance
in office and among other things
it is recommended that he be held
to strict account for his wrongful
acts.

10000 SETTLERS ON PROJECTS I'm
WEST AFFECTED BY COURTS
RULING. q

Washington, May 30.-More than
10000 farmers on reclamation projects
of the west will be affected by the fsu-
preme courts decision this week that
they must pay to the government the
cost of maintaining and operating the
various reclamation projects, pending
their completion.
Enormous expenses in the reclama-
ton service in maintenance of the
great federal irrigation projects hing
ed upon this weeks decision. The
federal courts of the northwest decid-
ed the government must pay the costs
and could not levy assessments upon
the water users until their contractato
purchase the arid land and water
rights was completely paid up and the
projects themselves turned over to
the homesteaders.
D. P. Baker, settler on land in the
Sunnyside reclamation project, in the
Yakima valley of Washington, brought
the test case. He enjoined the recla'
nation service from assessing taxes
to pay operating costs of supplying
water to his land while it is being
operated by the government and be
fore he and other settlers acquire alb
solute title to the property and author
ity to operate the "big ditch them
selves. The lower federal courts held
that the government must pay such
maintenance charges out Of the gener
al reclamation fund.
