LAME HOGS ARE AT
WORK IN TWO STATES

That game hogs in northern Nevada
and southern Idaho are killing game
in Idaho when the season is on there
and shipping it to Nevada and killing
it in Nevada during the open season
and shipping it to Idaho during the
Idaho closed season is the statement
made by O. II. Barber, state game
warden for Idaho, in letter to
George Mills, chairman of the Nevada
fish and game commission.
The Idaho warden asks for co-opera-
tion on the part of the Nevada com
mission to apprehend and prosecute
the guilty persons, saying that Twin
Falls sportsmen have promised their
aid in the matter.
Commissioner Mills also received
communication from J. l.. Hunter, of
the fish and game commission of Cali
fornia, in which Hunter asserts that
undersized striped bass are being ship
ped from California to Winnemueca,
where they are being marketed. The
California official asks that steps be
taken to prosecute the offenders.

COMMITTEE BEGINS
CAMPAIGN WORK

The Republican congressional cam
paign committee is preparing to begin
at once the fight for control of the
house and senate next year, says a
Washington press dispatch. The Maine
election is pointed to as an indication
of how the political situation is shap.
ing itself.
One of the most important members
OF the congressional committee is
Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire. Discussing the recent Maine
election he said:
1t means that the reaction has al
ready set in. 1t foreshadows the
doom of the Underwood tariff bill and
also indicates the disappearance of
the Bull Moose vote.o
Among other members of the con.
gresisonal committee are Senator du
Pont, of Delaware, Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, Senator Catron.
of New Mexico, Representative Gard,
ner, of Massachusetts, and Represen-
tative Kahn, of California.
"The result in Maine was a Repub-
llcan victory because the voters in
that district, which is a typical one.
are repudiating the Underwood tar.
iff,' said Representative Kahn.

MINERAL BELT OF
BATTLE MOUNTAIN

ing plants or even smelter provided

ager of the Marie Gold Mining &
Milling company, expressed his views
on returning yesterday from northern
Nevada.
"This district includes Copper Bas-
in, Galena, Iron canyon and down in
to Copper canyon and Bannock, not
saying anything of the big properties
over at Hilltop" he continued. "Hill-

know of several experts representing
large capital who have been over the
district, not examining any property
in particular, but the section in gen
eral. One company has had not less
than three such men in there.
1.-THE only reason / can see of the
past neglect of this mineral zone is
that there are only a few places where
the ore is rich near the surface, and
companies of sufficient strength to de
velop large low grade propositions
have yet to get in there and find out
just what good things await them
After all it is the large low grade
mine which makes the money and
keeps making it, and that is what the
south Battle Mountain districts offer
to the investor, and these are the kind
of propositions which should Justify
the erection of smelter.'

BOARD OF EQUAL.
IzATION AT WORK

The county commissioners met yes
terday as a board of equalization,
with Chairman Haviland, Commission
ers Byrnes and Cooper present. Aside
from ordering chattel mortgages added
to the assessment roll, very little
was accomplished.
Assessor Leonard submitted to the
board list of stock assessments he
had received from the state tax com
mission, with instructions to add to
the roll. Several of the stockmen af-
fected by the order were present and
protested, stating they did not own
the number credited to them by the
commission. It was stated that the
commission had probably secured its
information from permits issued by
the supervisors of the Forest reserves,
which were misleading. As an illus
tration, it was cited that firm in the
eastern part of the county some time
ago purchased a permit for grazing
$4,000 head of sheep on the reserve,
and paid for that number, while as a
matter of fact at no time during the
past year did it own to exceed 1000
head
The board finally decided to COM
municate by wire with the commission
and ask that a representative be sent
here to help straighten the matter out.
This morning reply was received,
stating that Commissioner Colburn,
who had Jurisdiction over the matter,
was out of town, but that upon his
return today the commission would
send detailed instructions.

was accompanied from Elko by James
G. Allen, president of the Humboldt
County Chamber of Commerce. Seen
yesterday by a Silver State reporter
and asked if the Lincoln Highway
route had been selected through Ne
vada, Mr.. Larson replied:
"ft has not, published reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. 1t has
been definitely settled that the high
way win enter Utah through the
Ogden gateway If it goes to Salt
Lake at all, it will be as a side trip,
the same as from Cheyenne to Denver,
and will come west by the north end
o. Great Salt Lake.
"The principal object of my present
trip is to look over the routes through
Nevada and report my findings to
Vice President Fisher, of the Lincoln
Highway. My return from Reno to
Ogden win be via the southern route,
and l shall then be in a position to

of the two routes.
"Strange as it may appear. the

also in the next International Log and

'The Northern route through Ne
