ANOTHER BAD CHECK MAN
VISITS EI.KO AND LEAVES

A nicely dressed young man, with
a good appearance, came to Elko the
fore part of last week and took up
his quarters at the Mayer hotel. He
was one of these il-fellows-well- l-met,
and soon found many congenial
friends. He had money, in fact it
looked as if he didn't realize the
value of the filthy lucre that he so
carelessly threw on the bar
He went to the Hot Springs hotel
and stayed there couple of days and
when he left he paid with q check on
a San Francisco bank, with some
change coming to him, and signed the
name of j. A. Jones.
Coming to town he did the same
thing at the Mayer hotel, and about
this time he dropped from sight.
In a day or two the checks came
back from San Francisco marked
"N. Co." and the people who cashed
the checks are out just that amount
of money.
About the time the man left, the
sheriff's Office received a wire from
Winnemueca asking that q man be
taken into custody whose description
tailed with that of Mr.. Jones, but
when Undersheriff Lamon went to the
hotel to get his man he had flown
and up to the present no trace can be
found OF the rascal.
At Winnemucca he went by the
name of George Pickle, and it is said
that the check he passed in that town
was large enough to keep him in
funds for some time. The only safe
way is to cash no mans check unless
you know him, and even then you are
taking chance. .Elko Free Press.

MINING LAWS OF AUSTRIA
LA AND NEW ZEALAND

The interest and discussion lately
manifested in the proposal to lease
the public mineral and other lands
instead of disposing of them in fee
has called attention to the report of
the United States Geological Survey
on the mining laws of the Australian
states. A. c. Veatch, the author of
the report, visited Australia and New
Zealand in lS97-9s as special repre-
sentative of the American govern
ment to study the mining laws of
those countries, and his reports were
printed by the Geological Survey as
Bulletin sos. While not to be con
sidered as an exhaustive treatise, this
series of reports undoubtedly eonsti-
tutes the best available collection of
authoritative data bearing on the
practical working of mineral-land
laws that are essentially different
from those of the United States code
They not only give in considerable
detail the special provisions, terms
and conditions of the different laws
as well as statistical information re
garding the extent of mining opera
tions in the countries considered, but
also contain much testimony by prac
teal mining men who are operating
under these laws. On this account the
reports are believed to furnish a val
liable basis for comparison between
the leasehold and freehold systems il
their fleets upon mining development
A copy of Bulletin sos can be OBJ
tanned on application to the director
OF the Geological Survey, Washing
ton, ID. G.

EUROPEAN MANAGER
RETURNS TO DETROIT.

Mr.. II. F.. White, general European
just returned TO Detroit from Paris,
has some interesting observations on
! Ire Use motor ~Cars In the great
war.
The French government" said Mr..
White, has requisitioned only the
big cars-fom 40 to 60 horsepower,
and just those with inclosed bodies.
These are being used generally to
carry dispatches and reports between
field headquarters and transporting
STAFF officers. What one might expect
with such heavy cars Is happening.
On our run from Paris to Havre we
passed dozens of these big, heavy
cars out Of business and abandoned
on the roadside. l prophecy that in
two months most of them will be out
Of commission entirely.
THE light. strong Ford, before the
war began, had proved wonderfully
successful in army maneuvers, be-
ing able to go even cross-country-
Many Fords are armed with rapid-flre
guns. / believe that within three
months, IL the war continues, light
cars like the Portland all the Fords
that they can get--wili be in general
field operation in the war zone"
General Lyautey, commander-in-
chief of the French forces in Moroc-
co, has received shipment OF Ia
Fords which, because of their light
ness, strength and durability, have
been proved peculiarly well adapted
to operation in the sands of northern
Africa.
