To the members of the Nevada Legis-
lature, Twenty-slxth session. 1918:
As one of our State officials is an i'm

REPORTS ARE
GROSSLY EXAGGERATED
Mining Men Declare There Is
Nothing to Justify Rush to
Rochester In Winter

Persons who have visited the camp of
Rochester, in Humboldt County, worthy
Of reliance, are strongly advising their
friends and acquain tances against going
TO the camp at this time aud many
persons are deploring the character of
publicity that is being done to advertise
the district and attract to it a stampede
Of mining men and camp followers.
A man who has just returned to Gold
field from Rochester declares that there
are only 40 men employed there in the
miuing district and a large number of
idle men. who have little hope of Sc
curing any immediate employ ment. and
including a number who are ill. The
altitude is about 60O0 feet and while
the amount of snow has not been great
the cold has been severe st times. par.
ticularly the nights. which are always
cold in the northern part of the State.
Mining men who are not biased In
their opinions declare that there is moth

now regarded as one Of good promise.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
The Matter OF Refrenchmenf

Just now there seems little probabili-
y of the judgments of the statesmen at
Carson City giving away completely to
the passion Of the reformer. We heard
lot about retrenchment, a lot more
about the methods to be pursued in
bringing about this happy condition and
we were enwrapt in awe and admira-
ton at the patriotism that ran riot in
every nook and corner of Nevada. But
chill has come over the land, the old
game of you tickle me and I'll tickle
you to finish is on again; every body
almost, seem tn have poor relations oc-
cupiDg State jobs, and IL the elmina ton
process was begun ill feelings would be
eDgen 1ered with the result there is no
telling just where it all would stop.
So just to be on the safe side and
avoid unpleasant distur Dances it will
probably be concluded by the lawmak
ing body that the really proper way to
arrive at an enriched exchequer is just
TO raise the State valuations, gather in
more kopecs from the unsophistocated
and let it go at that. It's always so
much better to fool the reubens who
pay the bills than il is to discharge a
listless, SOW bellied office holder, who
would probably release his hold on the
public tit only to become an inmate of
an institution for incompetents.
The reconstruction of Nevada official
conditions is after all herculeau task
demanding master mind and follow
ing that will admit Of proper law modi.
fication and enforcement. and the time
seems not at hand. The deputies in
the State offices " i'll continue TO spend
most OF their time looking pretty and
drawing their salary warrants, their
only real activity being conserved for
the biennial Legislative sessions.
That the State is face to face with a
grave situation. there is no doubt. For
various reasons the OH ness
precepts have been neglected in our ad.
ministration Of State affairs. and plainly
1t is the States duty to reverse condi-
tions. abjure the present system Of easy
patronage and ally herself with what is
right and fair, making exactions of full
value Of services in return for the salar.
les expended and thus create a new
order of things in Nevada.
The matter Of State retrenchment
should not be neglected by the lawmak
ing body. Heads should be chopped off.
discriminatory of course, but many
basketfuls can be spared conveniently
by the whole State, with the exception
Of Carson City, whose life is dependent
upon the State patronage. Carson folks
launch all sorts Of theoretical platitudes
and plants against changing the "sys.
tem," aud unfortunately the trading
value of small legislative delegations is
great. .-Fallon Standard.

Says Willow Greek
Will Make Good

William Lawrence. the Kentucky
gentleman" who left last week for the
new camp of Willow Creek in Nye
County, about 40 miles south of Duck.
water. returned during the week. He
went over on leasing proposition, but
found that be was too late to get what
he wanted, as all ground had been leased
on the original location. He states that
the new camp Is only three miles from
the road connecting Ely aud Tonopah.
and is SO miles distant from each of the
towns. The camp first came into promi-
nence about three months ago when sew
eral wagon loads of very rich ore were
hauled to Tonopah and sold there, aver
aging better than 5000 per ton without
sorting. Tonopah people at once got
busy and secured the most valuable
holdings in the district, since which
time much leasing has been done. At
the present time he states there are
about 200 tons of highgrade on the
dumps, which will probably average
better than 5000 per ton in gold and
silver. There are about 80 men in the
camp besides those regularly employed
in the mines. The country has been
located for about five miles in every
direction from the camp. but so far
but little work has been done aside from
that ON the original locations. Mr..
Lawrence is of the opinion that the
camp will make good and will soon be
a heavy paoducer of highgrade ores

Booming Rochester

1t strikes the casual observer that the Reno
papers are rather OVERRIDING the attempt to
boom Rochester, and will be the means of
bringing in many men Of limited means who
will suffer much from hunger and cold.
Rochester may be another great bonanza

accommodate the large influx of people which
is now arriving and will continue to arrive

Make Haste Slowly.

As Maysville street is about
hnished-in a wayne think it
proper to suggest to the Com
mittee having charge of the
work and the city council, in
view of the fact that a portion
of it has been done in cold
weather, that the work be not
accepted until some time next
summer so as to see whether it
is alright or not. The contrac-
tors have not been in a hurry
and we see no occasion for the
city to be.
Several competent attorneys
have informed us that when
work is once accepted by the
city, as the agent for the prop
erty owners, it is practically
impossible to ever again raise
the issue as to whether the
work comes up to contract or
not. This, in our judgment, is
a sound rule of law, as the ac-
ceptance of work by ones agent
ought to end all question about
it the same as if one accepted
it personally.
We therefore think it very
necessary that no mistake be
made. The Citizens Of Mays
vile street ought to get what
they pay for and a hasty ac-
ceptance of this work might
deprive them of their rights and
do them, as well as the public, a
great injustice.

Be a Big Brother.

Last year just before Christ
mas, we took occasion to edi-
torically endorse what is known
as the Big Brother Movement,
inaugurated by the Benevolent &,
Protective Order of Elks. It's
purpose is to provide for the lit
tie boys and girls who otherwise
might be forgotten by Santa
Claus and we have since been
told by one of our most esti-
mable citizens, who, with his
good wife, followed our sugges-
ton, that never before had so
small an investment brought to
both givers and receivers so
much real pleasure.

Package tree.

The wholesale drug houses of
Kentucky have recently import
ed from North Carolina new
treatment for all forms of cold
understanding that is a
little out of the ordinary.
They have authorized the Mt.
Sterling druggists to refund the
purchase price, $3.50 or $I.oo, to
any user who does not find this
new external" treatment the
best thing they have ever tried.
The method of taking this
treatment is a novel one. In
place of being swallowed in the
form of a tablet or syrup, it is in
the form of a salve and is ap-
piled over the throat and chest
in severe cases being covered
with warm flannel cloth.
This salve is so made that the
heat of the body releases vapors
of Pine Tar, Thermol, Eucalyp-
tol, Menthol, ETC., which arise
from the chest and are inhaled
with each breath direct to the
lungs. At the same time the
preparation is absorbed through
the skin, taking out the soreness.

MIGHT DO WORSE

One of the best informed Dem
ocratic politicians from out in the
State, who was in Louisville this
week in discussing the political
situation in Kentucky, said that
boom had been started for
former Appellate Judge James
H. Hazelrigg for Governor, and
that it had already assumed
formidable proportions. Judge
Hazelrigg lived at Mt. Sterling
when he was elected to the Court
of Appeals bench, but since his
retirement he has been practic-
ing law at Frankfort. He is one
of the best-known Democrats in
the State and regarded as one of
the ablest jurists in the State.
Some time ago Judge Hazelrigg's
name was mentioned in connec-
ton with the United States SEN
atorship, but he promptly denied
that he had any such intention S.
According to report, Judge
Hazelrigg is not only strong in
Eastern Kentucky, but that also

FIVE THOUSAND
MILES OF CHILDREN

The procession of working
children in America, il placed
twelve feet apart in single file
would reach from San francisco
to Boston and thence to New
Orleans. To shorten the process
sion until it dwindles and disap-
pears, the National Child Labor
Committee says it needs to have
not $500 members, but 10000
or one for each half mile of
these children.
The last number of the Child
Labor Bulletin gives not only
several articles of general inter
est, and the Annual Report OF
the National Child Labor Com
mittee, but also a brief review
of the Committees plans for the
future.
First and foremost an abso-
lutte ID year limit for all gainful
occupations without exemptions
must be fixed in all States. AT
the same time, in order to make
the legal age limit an establish
ed fact, and a sufficient protection
to the child, every State law
needs to be amended in some
point concerning work permits.
1t is of next Importance to regu-
late the work of all minors by a
limit of hours, a 70 or IS year
limit for dangerous trades and
by medical inspection of minors
at work. The committee says
that no minor should be allowed
as night messen ger, and points
out that only seven States have
fixed Fl year limit for this work.
Reference is made to the need
Of discussing the option of edu-
Gators and social workers that
there is no gainful occupation
which a child under 10 years can
enter without harm. And a
