THE MONITOR" SPEAKS
OF UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA

The Christian Science Monitor
which is rapidly becoming to be one
of the most widely read dailies pub
lished in the United States, has the
following to say of the publicity cam
paign being carried on by Amos FL
lott, who is in charge of that depart
ment here:
"Athletic Director Amos Elliott. of
the University of Nevada, who has
been placed in charge of the publicity
department, is looking for an increase
in the number of students at the uni
versity at the beginning of the sec
ond semester. He knows several in
stances, he says, in which California
men are coming to the University of
Nevada. During the spring months
great deal of publicity work is
planned which, he hopes, will have the
effect of largely increasing the at
tendance next fall, says the Gazette.
Zone of the southern California
high schools, that at Norfolk, near
Los Angeles, has written letter of
acknowledgement in return for the
copy of the the Z. of n. Sagebrush it
has received. The letter says that the
students are glad to be brought into
touch with the University of Nevada.
The paper is being sent to many high
schools in California.

Will ERECT 5O-TON
MILL IN Spring

Col. Thomas Ewing, who is at the
riverside, resting from a long and
arduous trip across the desert from
Winnemucea to Pine Forest is in
clined to believe there will be plenty
of water in the latter district the
coming season, says yesterdays Ga
zette.
You have no idea how the storms
have cut up the desert roads. but they
were found passable to a certain ex-
tent until we arrived at the base of
the Pine Forest range, where my
mines are located" he said. "There
we encountered snow so deep we could
proceed no further
Signalling the superintendent of
the mine, he came down on snowshoes
and ] learned there is four feet of
snow at camp. Everything is run
ming smoothly. The ore is being drift
ed on at a depth of 500 feet and
about 10000 tons are exposed
As soon as spring opens, / will be-
gin erection of a mill of so tons ca
pacity. 1t will be a well-constructed
plant, most liberal amount of con-
crete being used. The mill will be
stamp crushing, plate and pan amalga-
mating, regrinding and concentrating
1.-The ore is excellent milling ore,
running between $40 and $50 ton. =
Col Ewing had little to say about
his smelter project except that the
plant will cost in tn eneighborhood of
million dollars.
81 would not unertake the enter
prise if I We're limited to a smaller
amount he said. "My prospective
hackers have delayed taking action
until it is found exactly what effect
the currency bill will have upon gen
eIal finance and investment, but / am
fairly assured of favorable action
before March /. OF course, / must in
the meantime continue to decline to
state the location of the proposed
smelter. 1t would not be good busi-
ness to do so at this time

AMERICAS PRE-EMINENCE
IN OIL PRODUCTION

Once more the twelve months prog
ress may be reviewed in comparative
detail without referring more than
casually to fields other than those
which have claimed the principal at
tention for several years past. The
United States easily maintains its
eminent position as producer
The production of approximately go
100000 metric tons represents 63 per
cent of the worlds output The in
crease during the past year has been
of very moderate dimensions. Califor-
mia, which otherwise is most favor
ably situated to contribute to the
increase, is hampered by the difficulty
of reaching outside markets. I'm
patiently it is awaiting the opening
of the Panama canal to pour its ac-
eumulated stocks of 50,000,000 bar
rels and it's immense reserves which
are still underground into eastern
markets, but already the highest au-
thorities are foreshadowing the time
when the stream of oil through the
pipe lines will be reversed TO meet
the requirements of the Pacific coast.
Last years California output is esti-
mated at nearly 100,000,000 barrels,
an increase of 10 per cent. The inn
portance attached to this field may be
guaged from the anxiety of the Royal
Dutch-Shell Transport group to obtain
a footing where the Standard Oil com
pany has hitherto reigned supreme.
Other additions to the output of the
United States are expected from the
Mideontinental fields of Oklahoma
and Kansas, only the fringes of which
have as yet been tapped. Indeed, ev-
cry single producing district on the
continent NAV be said to be ncreas-
ing its output. Feverish activity has
prevailed in the high grade regions
east of the Mississippi, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the output in the
eastern fields can be increased more
than mporarily.-London Times.

REASONS FOR EDITORIAL
ACTON IN M'INTOSH CASE

There might be some who think
that the action of the Nevada Press
association in passing a resolution OBJ
iecting to the appointment of c. H.
Mcintosh to the position of q. S. at
torney for the state of Nevada was a
harsh one. To those We make the fol
lowing explanation and show to them
why the action was taken.
The printers of the state of Nevada
have long desired the passage of a
transcript law within the state-that
is, that transcripts of cases on ap-
peal be placed in printed form when
submitted to the higher courts. The
better class of the attorneys of the
state favor the law and many of
them thus have their eases prepared
when they submit them to the higher
courts. The cheaper attorneys. those
who seem to think that any old thing
will do oppose the law and in their
actions and words accuse the printers
of the state of being robbers and
grafters
Bill after bill has been prepared
and submitter to thee lawmking body
and has always met with reversals.
During the last session of the legisla-
ture a bill was prepared and submit
ted, passed the lower house and was
meeting with a favorable reception in
the upper house until C. II. Mcintosh
appeared upon the scene and In every
way fought the measure. He used the
power which was his as state chair
man of the Democratic party and pre-
vailed upon few of the senator's to
down the bill. The printers appeared
and tried in every way to have the
law amended and changed to suit Mr.
Mcintosh hut he boldly stated that
- the printers were set of grafters
and he would make them eat cut of
his hand before he was done with
them.
The editors of the state are thus
opposed to Mr.. Mcintosh as one who
would be against them in every way,
shape and manner and bv his actions
toward them would be detrimental to
the interests of the state and do not
desire him in the position of power to
which he aspires. The Nevada Press
association has no candidate for the
office and cares not who is appointed
as long as he is an honest upright
man who will attend to the duties of
the office and work for the welfare of
the nation and the state.-Carson

NO NECESSITY FOR
SPECIAL SESSION

Winnemucea, New. Feb. ~, 1914.
Editor of the Silver State:
Referring to the inquiry which you
have made to the members of the bar
of Humboldt county, asking their
opinion as to whether the act of the
last session of the Nevada legislature
making a change in the judicial dis
triets of the state can be construed so
as to stand, and thereby dispense
with the necessity of calling a spec
ial session of the legislature before
the next general election to cure any
supposed defects in such act, would
say ] have examined the act with
some care, and while | find some
words have been left out in the en-
crossed bill, evidently through mad
vertance, yet | am of the deliberate
opinion that the act is good as it now
stands and that there is no just ground
for the hysterical apprehensions that
some of the newspapers of the state
seem to be now undergoing on account
o. the supposed defects in the act
| have not given the reasons for
this opinion, as | take it for granted
that the public in matter of this
kind do not care to be burdened with
the dry details of legal technicalities.
| am glad you have taken up this
question with the bar of Humboldt
county, which has among its members
some of the very best lawyers in this
state. ] need hardly add that my own
individual opinion on this matter is of
little weight, and | will be happy to
learn that | am sustained in my opin-
ion by other members of the bar of
this county.
Yours respectfully.

Lines Affected By suit.

The lessee of both the Southern
Pacific and Central Pacific roads is
tie Southern Pacific company. The
lines have been practically one ever
since they were built, the same own
ers constructing the Southern Pacific
railroad that had built the Central
Pacific. The Central Pacific includes
the main line from Sacramento to
Ogden, the old California Pacific from
San Francisco to Sacramento by way
of Benicia and Davis, the old Western
Pacific from Stockton to Oakland by
way of Lathrop and Port Costa and
the entrance to Oakland by way of
Niles canyon. The ferry system on
San Francisco bay is also subsidiary
to the Central Pacific. The Southern
Pacific includes the coast line, but its
main line is from Lathrop or that
neighborhood to Los Angeles and
thence to New Orleans.
