PRESIDENT BUSH HEADS
MIGHTY RAILWAY SYSTFM

Under the heading, "Great Rail

makes the following comment:
"That President Bush, of the Mis-.
souri, Pacific railway system, is strong
ly human is well known to those who
have had intimate acquaintance with
an and quite equally so to those
who have even cacually observed his
conduct of the intricate affairs of the
system of which he is president, aggre-
eating about 1000 miles of track
a distance equal to Iour times that in
.volved in trip from New York to
London; or, if that is not impressive,
then consider travelling continuously
night and day at the rate of thirty
miles per hour and not being able to
cover the straightaway mileage of the
railroad in fifteen days.
president Bush, speaking for his
directors, always says something
worth while. He frankly tells the
people of the thirteen states served
by those lines to look out for their
the railroad secures a square deal. for
if the railroad under astute manage
ment does not prosper then it is the
fault of the very people whom it
serves and who likewise suffer. There
are many inviting bits of evidences of
forethought in the annual report just
pubnshed for the year ending June
30, 1913. 1t AYERS that-sinee

the United States can firmly stand-no

striking statement that the company
uring the past year expended over
500 100000 in wages and it adds the
pertinent comment: 1T is obvious
that the benefciaries of such disburse-

defenders in the solution of all these
complex factors which go to make for
our mutual and inseparable success. -

INyFNTS CHEAP
REDUCTION PROCESS

L. st. ID. Roylance, San Francisco
mining engineer, is registered at the
Hotel Lafayette. In 1856 Mr.. Roy
lance was connected with the New
Era Gold Mining & Milling company,
at Kennedy, of which corporation l..
B. McMurtty was president. The COM
pany failed for the reason that it
could not treat the low grade rebel.
lious ores of the district at profit,
and they would not pay to ship.
Mr. Roylance went to San Francisco,
since which time he has been expert
menting on processes on handling
these ores at profit. He now has two
patents, which have been allowed but
not issued, and two more pending, on
electro-ehemical processes for ex-
tracing precious metals from rebel
lious and free milling ores. BY this
method, it is estimated, the Kennedy
ores can be handled lor $3.50 per ton,
after reaching the mill. Rights to use
the patents in the United States, Can
ada and six other foreign countries
have been disposed of to the Califor-
mia Extraction company, of which l..
B. McMurtrie is presiuent.
Seen at the Hotel Lafayette this
morning by a Silver State reporter,
Mr.. Roylanee stated that never for a
moment since 1896 had he lost sight of
the Kennedy district, and that when
he disposed of practically the entire
mining world to his patent rights, he
reserved Humboldt county, Nevada.

days stake,o said Mr.. Roylance, Gin

shall remain N the district until !

| can secure contracts for a daily ton
mage of 200 tons for one year, 7 will

FIND BIRTH NOTICE OF
MRS. PORTER CHARLTON

Since Porter Charlton, who is ac-
eused of numbering his wife at Lake
Como, Italy, has been taken back to
that country to be tried for the crime,
the Italian authorities have been en-
deavoring to secure proofs of the birth
of Mrs. Charlton, who was the daugh
ter of II. III. Scott, of Elko. In re-
sponse to a request from the Italian
consul general at San Francisco the
county clerk of Elko county searched
the records but failed to find any ref
erenee to the birth of Mrs. Charlton.
A later letter from the consul gave
the date of the birth as in July
1872, and the files of the Elko Inde-
pendent were searched with the re
suit that copy of tn eissue of July
l3, 1872, was found that contained the
following:
"Born-In Elko. July Z. 1872, to the
wife of III. III. Scott, daughter.

graphed and a copy sent to the consul.

MUST PROVE DISCOVERY
TO PATENT MINING CLAIM

Discovery is a prerequisite to the
patentng of mineral land in the Unit
ed States, and the Supreme Court has
said: "While the statute does not
prescribe what is necessary to consti-
tute a discovery under the mining
laws of the United States, it is essen
tial that it give reasonable evidence
of the fact either that there is vein
or lode carrying precious minerals, if
it be claimed as a placer ground that
it is valuable for such mining and
where there is not enough in what the
locator claims to have seen to justify
a prudent person in the expenditure of
money and labor in exploitation this
court will not overthrow a finding of
the lower court that there was not dis
covery. 1t is the policy of the gov
ernment to favor the development of
mines of gold and silver and other
minerals, and every facility is afforded
for compliance with the conditions re-
quired There must be a discovery of
mineral and sufficient exploration of
the ground to show this fact bevond
question. If the lands contain gold or
other valuable deposits in loose earth.
sand or gravel, which can be secured
with profit, that fact will satisfy the
demand of the government as to the
character of the land as placer
ground.' Mining and Scientific

FENCE IN RAILROAD
TRACKS AND CARS

Tn order to establish his title to
certain land he purchased from the
Pacific Improvement company, a
subsidiary company of the Southern
Pacific. j w. Puett, an Elko rancher,
fenced in the land this week, and in
doing so fenced in some of the South

Puett found that several cars
containing sheep were on his land

company's attorney, he released the
