State Bounty For
Finding ArtGSian Water

There is a law on the statutes of
this State which provides for a bounty
to any person who secures artesian
water. 1t has been overlooked and
there are probably those who do not
know of its existence. The law was
approved in 1901 and provides that a
bounty of $1,000 be paid for the first
well to produce five barrels of crude
petroleum; $1,000 for the first well
to produce 1000 feet of natural gas:
and $500 for the first we'll with a
diameter of not less than six inches
that brings a flow of not less than 60
gallons of artesian water per minute.
1t is understood that parties who have
bored a well in Railroad valley will
apply for the reward as they have a
well that more than meets the re-
quirements, as it flows 400 inches
of water.

Marshal Makes First Arrest

The new United States Marshal,
A. B. Gray, has made his first arrest,
and it proved to be quite an import
ant one. He got on the track of a
Utah sheep man who was trespassing
on the Government reserve in north
ern Elko County and hauled him into
camp with the result that the Gov
eminent will probably receive
enough In fines from this first case
to run the Marshal's office for some
time.
For trespassing the sheep owner is
liable to a fine of from so cents up
for each head of sheep and as the
man had in the neighborhood of
100 on the forbidden territory, it
can be figured that the Marshal has
made quite a cleanup.

10 Issue Pamphlet
On Revoked Patents

With reference to the numerous
inquiries received concerning the
cancelling of patents of lands to the
railroad companies, Register Coin
has received no notice from the
Land office of such cancellations.
His books are complete up to date,
and as soon as he is notified by the
Land Department such %revocations
will be duly recorded and any one
can have access to the same.
A letter received from U. S. At
torney Sam Plat by the editor of
the Enterprise says that the Depart
ment has directed him to prepare a
pamphlet showing exactly the lands
recovered by the Government in its
litigation against the Southern Pa
cifc and Central Pacific railroads,
This pamphlet will be readyin about
six weeks. The attorney says that it
will be to the benefit of the mining in
terests to have exact and accurate
information in this regard generally
circulated in pamphletform through
out the State.

WILLOW CREEK ORE VALUABLE
Twelve Thousand Dollars Worth of Ore
From Thirty eight-foot Shaft

Salt Lake Tribune: j. E. Bevis, a
well known pioneer mining man of
Nevada, is in Salt Lake recuperating
from the effects of a recent opera
ton. and from him was obtained
some interesting information on
Thursday regarding the Willow
Creek mining property of Nevada,
about which there has been much
talk of recent weeks. Mr.. Bevis is
associated with Zeb Kendall in the
ownership of this property, the con-
troll of which about two months ago
passed into the hands of George
Wingfield. The consideration for
the deal was somewhere between
$50, 900 and a $1,000.
The Willow Creek property is To-
Gated about 80 miles south of the
Tonopah district, and engineers as
sert that the formation is closely
akin to that of the famous Bullion
Beck and Champion mines of Tintic,
Utah. Messrs. Bevis and Kendall
drove a shaft all the way in ore for
SO feet, taking out in this short dis
lance $12, 900 worth of silver and
gold ore. In places in this shaft
work there were four feet or more
of ore that ran several hundred dol
lars to the ton, the values being
principally silver, while the average
of the whole body SO far disclosed is
5000 per ton. This does not contem-
plate any sorting whatever, and
sorting would produce a very high
grade quality of rock.
Upon taking hold of the mine Mr..
Wingfield equipped the property in
a modern manner, including an assay
office and clubhouse facilities for
the men employed, and at the time
last reported there were about 20
men at work. Messrs. Bevis and
Kendall still retain a substantial
interest in the company, and the
former believes that it will become
one of the big producers of ore of
Nevada. The property is splendidly
provided with both wood and water,
an item that means a great deal in
that State.

ranchers and stockmen had shown
him letters from the Tax Commission,
accompanied by blanks for the pur-
pose, demanding statements from
them of descriptions of their lands in
detail, the number in detail of all
live stock on hand January l, 1913,
the number purchased since that
date, the number sold since that
date, the natural increase, and the
number owned July l, 1913, with
same in regard to wool clipped, sold
and on hand, etc., and directing that
the owners fill out carefully, swear
to statement before a Notary or
other officer authorized to administer
oaths, and return within 30 days to
the Nevada Tax Commission.
Mr.. McTerney said that he had adj
vised all who have shown him these
letters that as the Tax Commission
were acting quite in accordance with
the law and the powers conferred
upon them thereby, they would bet
ter make any report demanded by
that Commission, fully and complete
ly, regardless of any statement made
previously to him for assessment
purposes

ElkO RanCher Accused
Of Stealing A Horse

Elko County is having all kinds of
trouble over cattle and horse thieves.
A determined effort is being made
to wipe out rustling in that section,
and nearly $4,000 standing reward is
being offered for convictions in the
county.
A few days ago Fred McComb,
one of the prosperous farmers OF
Humboldt Valley, was arrested for
stealing a horse and changing the
brand. He was released on $4,000
bail. 1t is claimed that he %appropri-
ated the horse, changed the brand
and sold the animal. AS all parties
connected with the affair are promi-
nent, a lively preliminary will result.

TO CALL EXTRA
LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Governor Oddie has addressed a
communication to Attorney General
Thatcher regarding the correspond
ence he has had relating to the state
Bank and Trust Company affairs, and
in the second paragraph says:
81 do not find in your report any
allegations that the existing affairs
of such receivership constitutes an
extraordinary occasion within the
meaning of the Constitution when
would justify me in convening the
Legislature by proclamation"
The Governor discusses the con-
vening of a special session of the
Legislature and says:
eff an extraordinary occasion ac-
tually exists, of which | am at pres
ent in doubt, which will necessitate
the converting of the Legislature
before the next election, arising
from the adoption of the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States in respect to the
election of Senator'S by direct vote, |
shall so convene the Legislature IN
special session at the earliest practi-
cal day. But in view of the condl-
ton of the States finances, this will
not be prior to the receipt of the
December installment of taxes"
The procedure of the Legislature
in impeachment proceedings is dis.
cussed at length, and the Governor
says:
"The question must rise in the
minds of intelligent people, however.
whether, if | believed from the evi'
dence presented that Judge Hangar
is guilty of malfeasence, the same
should not present itself to me as ar
extraordinary OCCASION for which
the Legislature should be convened.
If | so believed, | would convene the
Legislature for such purpose.
81 believe that certain salaries and
attorneys fees have been excessive.
believe that the receivership should
be terminated and the assets placed
in the control of the depositors and
creditors at the earliest practicable
moment. In all this | concur. But,
on the other hand, | fail to discover
in your report a specific instance OF
malfeasance charged against Judge
Langan or any general charges &C.
companied with specific proof; or any
allegations hat he has in any way
directly or indirectly proited or tried
to profit from his judicial admins

rect and specific charges | shall not
presume that the same exist or are
