Edwin E. Caine, Elko, Nevada.
"Bill legalizing Central Pacific
conveyanes passed senate last night
with Pittman's cooperation.
Francis G. Newlands.
1t appears that the original
grant to the Union Pacific gave
them the right to 200 feet on each
side of their track making a strip
400 feet wide. There seems to have
been some misunderstanding which
was entertained by the railroad
company it self as we'll as the
public and in many cases only 100
feet on each side of track was
fenced and appropriated by the
company. In all such cases up to

been cultivated fenced or used in

tant in the State. Its Success Will Revou. 49,.
ionize Conditions in Nexaaacsr

r. M. Catlin of New Jersey an
old time Tuscarora mine manager
is stopping at the Mayer Hotel. He
is accompanied by Walter Stalder,
an expert in minerology.
They have started force of
men 10 work on the immense coal
deposits just outside of the town
limits. These deposits are large
enough to last hundred years and
while tne coal has no commercial
value AS fuel, it has been ascer-
tanned from experimental tests, so
it is reported, that it will make as
much gas as any coal produced in
the United States.
While there is considerable re-
ticence maintained it is thought
the county of Elko has an unex-
pected source of wealth at the very
door of its -four ishing county seat.
rhe Importance of such a dis
rovery can not be over-estimated.

ORE SHIPMENTS ARE
s..~er NOW MADE BY MAIL

Shipping. ore by mail is a new
feature in mining. However, this
method of shipment was used asst
week by MIR. Watelet, manager of
the South Nevada Mining Com
pany near Las Vegas, when he sent
twenty sacks of ore weighing a
total of 21O pounds by parcel post
to the Beer Gold Mill & Extraction
Company at Sacrmento for testing
purposes. ...s-g .s1z
This ore which is samples from
the high grade ore running about
$500 per ton is for testing pur-
poses., to ascertain if the values
can be saved by the milling plant
which has been purchased and which
will be delivered on the ground in
March. or whether some additionl
machinery or appliances will be
needed for this grade of ore

Ben SwaYo, a restraint man who
was shot this week at Rochester by
Bert Scott, a bartender, died yes
terday, taking a quick turn for the
worse after message has been re-
ceived here that he had u good
chance of recovery.
Word received here this morning
is to tn effect that Swango will be
buried at Truckee. where he for
merly owned property. He was
also well known at Virginia City,
and in Rochester had an interest
with M. E. Fouts of Reno and M.
Mitchell of Virginia City in the
Brookhill saloon and restaurant
where the trouble occurred.
Scott, who waived preliminary
examination before Justice Staun-
ton, is held to the grand jury at

Swango has died, that bond will be
denied.

In Elko the Pacific Improvement
Company and the s. P. railroad Co.
sold lots on the 4oo foot strip

They had no right to this land for

effect of quieting title in all such

HOW YOU MAY THROW
AWAY YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. If you are one of
these unfortunates. then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead of
helping them. Thousands who wear
windows may prove for themselves
that they can dispense with glasses
if they will get the following prescrip-
ton filled at once: Go to any active
drug store and get a bottle of DIPLOMA:
fill two-ounce bottle with water and
drop in one DIPLOMA tablet. With this
harmless liquid solution battle the
eyes two or four times daily and YOU
are likely TO be astonished at the re-
suits right from the start Many who
have been told that they have astig-
matiSm, eyeStrain, cataract, sore eve
lids, weak eyes, cOnjunctivitis and 9TH
er eye disorders, report wonderful
benefits from the use of this free pre-
scription. Get this prescription filled
and use it: you may so strengthen
your eyes that glasses will not be
necessary. Thousands who are blind
or nearly so, or who wear glasses
would never have required them if
they had cared for their eyes in time
Save your eyes before it is too late,
Do not become one of these victims of
neglect. Eyeglasses are only like
clutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the ever-in-
creasing weakened condition so better
see if you can, like many others, get
clear, healthy, strong. magnetic eyes
through the prescription here given.
