GOVERNMENT ISSUES
BULLETIN FOR MINERS

The United States Bureau of
Mines has issued a bulletin devoted
exclusively TO a review and alb
stracts of decisions based on the
laws governing the rights and dat
les of mine owners, operators, min.
ers and persons trafficking in all
kinds Of mining properties. It in
cludes abstracts OF current decis-
ions of all the Federal and State
courts of last resort on questions
relating to the mining industry.
The Bureau proposes to issue sir1i-
lar bulletins with sufficient fire.
quency to keep the reports Of the
courts mentioned reasonably cur
rent.
There is no present medium
known to the Bureau by which the
information is conveyed immed-
lately to miners, mine owners or
other persons interested in mining
and mining industries. The inter-
est manifested in this bulletin by
the persons for whom it 10 intended
will be taken as a basis for deter

publication OF similar bulletins is

cognition of Nevada. whose nomen-
clature of the "Battleborn State"
is one Of the highest compliments
that could be paid to patriotic
body of men on the outskirts OF
the nation. Up to this time Me-
vada had been q shuttlecock be-
tween two contendiDg factions and
for years it had been 3 mooted
point whether the territory would
recognize the government at Rich
mond or the government at Wash
iugton. The most acrimonious
fueds occurred over the contentious
and arguments of followers OF the
Union and Confederate causes.
Nevada has had stormy and
troublous career, filed with stirr-
ing events Of worldwide interest,
ranging from the discovery of the
Comstock to the discovery of Tono-
pah and Goldfeld. No other state
in the Union has approximated the
silver production Of Nevada, as it
is estimated that the Comstock
alone contributed $5O0,0OO,00O to
the wealth of the world.
One of the most serious disturb
ances in the early history was the
dispute over the boundary line on
the west, where Mono county is
situated. This led to some serious
incidents involving litigation as
late even as 1881. Others were
tragic in their workings, while ms
at least, was phenomenal in The
history of politics. 1t was not de-
termined whether the town Of Au-
rora was in California or in Nevada
until in 1868. Aurora was claimed
by two states and became the coun-
ty seat of two counties, that of Es-
meralda for Nevada, and Mono
County for California. The town
was represented in the legislature
of Nevada and California, both
candidates in rival commonwealth
being elected by the same voters,
neither of whom were probably en-
titled to their positions because of
their having been chosen by nom
resident voters.

KILLING The SALMON

A Washington dispatch Of the
30th says that railroad blasting op-
erations along the Fraser river in
Alaska have killed more than l.
100000 salmon and prevented the
spawning of more than a hundred
times as many moro. The depart
men Of commerce today announced
there would be a great shortage of
sockeye salmon within five years.
The department pronounces the
slaughter of the fish to be a catas-
trophe. The effects of this catas-
trophe, it declared, will be seen
from three to five years from now,
when the 1913 progeny comes back
to the river to spawn. How SER
ioHs the outcome will be can only
be surmised.

TABLE BIRDS OF
THE RIGHT QUALITY
Houdan Males Take Kindly to
Fattening Process and Flesh
Up Rapidly.

Houdan males are good breeders.
and seldom fail to produce chickens
that grow without much trouble. and
when the time arrives for the Bepara-
ton Of the sexes the cockerels will
take kindly to the fattening process
and put on flesh rapidly, and make up
into table birds Of good quality. The
flesh of the Houdan Is Of good color,
fine in grain, juicy and of fine flavor.
and on that account 1t has gained for
itself the premier position as q table
bird in its native country. The breed
has been used with advantage in the
production of cross-bred fowls both for
table use and egg production. To
reproduce fine table birds Houdan
males are mated to buff Orpingtons,
whilst to produce good laying Cross.
Houdan co kerels are mated to Leg.
horn or Minorca hens. The Houdan-
hite Leghorn Is undoubtedly the best
cross known for egg production, and
the crossing of these two distinct
breeds not only accounts for increased
proliticacy in the progeny, but the
process Of crossing improves the fat
tening qualities of the cockereIs pro-
duced. 1t may be truly said that the
Houdan is capable of improving the
progeny of most fowls with which #
is crossed, and on that account it is
an excellent breed to turn down with
view to the Improvement of farm
stock of a nondescript class. A few
male Houdans mated to mongrel
hens will stamp their likeness on
the progeny, and not only will the
chickens produced excel over their
dams meat properties, but they will
Prov better layers.

GETTING BACK At The

Several taxpayers of Hopewell
borough in Pennsylvania, the small

WORKING OLD M|LLSITES

The Comstock Recovery Com
pany which recently acquired the
Brunswick property on the Carson
RIVER, below Empire, is getting its
preliminary work we'll under way,
in fact it is now working several
men and securing big values daily,
according to the Appeal. Four men
are now engaged IN sluicing being
able to run out about ton a day
from which average values of $500
per ton are assured and this work
will continue until cold or severe
weather puts an end to it for the
season. This work is mainly in the
nature Of cleanup around the
old mill site and also making pre-
parations for the outlined big work
that is to follow.
A little later the cleanup o1
the mill spillway will be made anc
from prospecting and sampling il
is almost certain that values OF
fully $1,000 per ton will be saved
from this point.

JOYS OF MINING
IN DEATH VALLEY

A mining engineer who recently
visited the camp of Carbolite in
Death Valley, where the Chafey.
Salsbery mine is situated, has sent
the following description to the
Tonopah Miner:
"The property is situated in Cal
ifornia in the foothills about 400
feet above the floor Of Death Val
ley, which at that point is 235 feet
below the sea level according to
the United States geological bench
mark at the wall where the wagon
road starts from the bed of the val
ley, four miles from the mine and
is reached by way of Zebriski, a
station on the T onopah & Underwater
railroad, 25 miles south of the old
camp of Greenwater and four miles
north of Tecape.
"II is unnecessary for me to
make any comment on the climate
Of Death valley further than to say
that saw enough to convince me
that Hades would be considered
summer resort when compared
with this climate in August and
"At the mine, Mr.. Bruce, the
who is well known
in Tonopah and Goldfield, informed
me that he put the thermometer
out in the sun one day, but it ran
up so fast that he was afraid to
leave it out long, fearing that the
mercury would. break the glass in
its haste to reach the top. 1t had
reached 164 degrees before he
took it into the tunnel, aid tbis.is
at an elevation of about 1900 feet
above sea level. For this reason,
the men employed at the mine
live and sleep in tunnels, and the
kitchen and boarding house is also

EVOLUTION OF
FRICTION MATCH

The first American patent for
friction matches was granted to
Alonzo D. Phillips of Springfield,
Mass, seventy seven years ago.
The first crude friction match had
been made some years before by
an English inventor named Walker,
residing at Stockton-on-Tees.
"Lucifers," they were originally
called, at first sold for a very high
price, and flint and steel and tin
der-box continued in use for many
years after the introduction of fric-
tion matches.
The Walker and Phillips matches
consisted of splints of wood coated
with sulphur and tipped with &
mixture of sulphide of anthony
shlorate of potash and gum.
The production of matches Wa'
much cheapened in 1912 by Reuber
Partridge's invention Of machiner!
for the manufacture nf spliuts.
Three years later Schrotter o

mated the dangers to the worl

 Offerings were well taken however, and the market rallied during the middle of the morning. Predictions of Ibullish ginning figures for the period ending last night probably helped this advance, while there were also reports that interior fac tors were refusing to follow the de, cline in futures.
