REPRESENTATIVE BURNETT.

REPRESENTATIVE BURNETT.
Capacity to earn living is thus re-
moved as possible excuse for the ad-
mission of mentally undesirable.
A decided amplification Of the scope
and exhaustiveness Of the psychiatric
and psychopathic examination of in
coming aliens is provided in section 16
Of the bill. After setting forth the char
acter Of the training which the exam
lining medical officers shall possess
with view to insuring thoroughness
in the examination, as in the Burnett
bill, the senate committee has inserted
this provision: ...s
Gall aliens arriving at ports of the
United States shall be examined by
two such medical officers" which in
creases the insurance Of thoroughness.
Under the Burnett bill this medical
examination was provided for all
"large ports of entry" The senate
committee has stricken out the Qualify
ing ''large." The examination must be
made wherever aliens may enter.
The senate committee while endeav-
oring to make the law more certain in
its provision for exclusion Of the unde-
sirable has shown humanitarian dis
position along some other lines. It is
provided that immigrants found to be
suffering from tuberculosis in any
form or any other loathsome or dan
gerous contagious disease other than
that of quarantinable nature must be
at once deported, but the following
leeway is given to the secretary Of la
Dor:
Unless the secretary Of labor is, sat
isfied that the existence Of the disease
could not have been detected by com
petent medical examination at the time
Of foreign debarkation and that to re-
fuse treatment would be inhuman or
cause unusual hardship
This proviso admits the alien to hos
pital treatment.

SOME MINING
GOING ON AT OLD
RESERVATION CAMP

There is quite little mining activ-
ity just now at the old camp of Iona,
or Reservation Hill The Golden
Fleece Company, whose property is
located just above the Capitola prop
erty, is doing considerable work. This
company is installing a 25-horse pow
er gasoline hoist The shaft on the
ground is down 100 feet and it is the
company's intention just as soon as
the hoist is in commission, to sink
to the 400-foot level, cutting stations
in this property are gold exclusively.
The vein is three feet in width all
the way down Several carloads of
lumber are o II the ground and con
struction of quarters for men is un-
der way. The property is controlled
by San Francisco capitalists and the
operations at the property are in
charge of Mr. George Hedges, min
ing man OF much experinece who gen
orally meets with success.
George Winckfeld has started work
on the Claberack Company's prop
erty, which lies near the Golden
Fleece and Capitola ground. He will
soon have hoist installed and will
then begin sinking the shaft to the
300-foot leel, in the meantime opening
up the l00-foot level for production.
This property is near the railroad and
when production begins the profits
will not all be aten up by a long wagon
haul of the ore.
The Captola shaft has reached a
depth of Us feet A station is being
cut and as soon as il is finished cross
cutting and drifting on the vein will be
pushed ahead. There is merit in the
property 1t was located by VIM.

COMMISSIONERS
MEET AND LOWER
LYON TAX RATE

The Board OF County Commission
ers held a special meeting in Yering
ton on Wednesday of this week and
fixed the tax rate The roll had been
gone over by the Nevada Tax Com
mission and that body raised the val
uation of lands in Lyon county about
$S00,000 Lands that had heretofore
had valuation of 81 per acre placed
on them were raised to 450; those
that had been valued at $4 to $40 were
raised to SIS; those that had been val
ued at $l2 to $40 were raised to $24,
and cultivated lands that had been
assessed at $50 to $40 per acre were
raised to $45 and 500 per acre. This
is a pretty stiff raise for this county
and the aggregate is about $S00,000
as above stated In view of this fact
the County Commissioners shaved
their budget quite bit and reduced
the tax rate for State and county Is
cents on the 500 valuation. This
makes the rate 81 IS instead of 81 10
on each $l00 valuation. A reduction
Of 10 cents on each 500 valuation
has also been made on all property
in School District No 9. This makes
the special tax in School District No
9 4G cents instead of so cents, or
total reduction on all property in this
district of IS cents. 1t is going to take
few days to extend the roll on this
new basis and taxes will not become
delinquent unil December 2l this
year, or possibly later. The 18th is the
date set in Washoe county by the Tax
Commission.
Commission This morning Recorder
Guild received word from the Tax
Commission to again extend and com
pute the roll to see if further reduc-
ton could not be made in the rate.

UTAH MAKING
EFFORTS TO SHIP
COPPER ABROAD

/
contraband of war England wants
copper, and has made known her
needs to producers of New York.
There has been in the market since
l,600 tons of electrolytic, but owing to
the quite general policy of demand
ing cash f. O. b. New York, there has
been some delay in placing the busi
ness, according to an eastern writer,
Domestic manufacturers also have
been buying, although not heavily
The demand has come chiefly from
ammunition manufacturers who have
record breaking orders on their books
One producer says there have been
number of ll-cent bids in the mar
ket but none of them has been ac-
cepted.
Cables from London to Washington
strongly intimate that if American
copper shippers will send their export
copper in British bottoms touching
first at English ports the cargoes will
reach their destination.
Italy took from the United States
during the first six months of 1914
about 25,000,000 pounds of copper
which was regarded as normal con
sumption requirements. Since that
time there has been an extraordinary
demand, as the Italian ammunition
plants have been put on full time.
Freight rates to Mediterranean
ports more than doubled the past
week, the present tariff on those lines
still accepting copper being 40s
against lSs two weeks ago. A great
scarcity OF accommodation has de
veloped, owing to the delay of boats
held up at Gibraltar Some of the
companies absolutely refuse to ac-
cept a pound of copper in their car
goes, even if accompanied by consular
guarantee,
The two Italian steamers detained
at Gibraltar, last week have been re
leased with their copper cargoes
Prior to their departure efforts were
made in behalf of the British govern
ment to buy the copper but the pro-
ducers who had exported the metal
refused to sell, preferring to make a
test case IS TO England's right to
hold up neutral cargoes.
In Utah, strenuous efforts are being
made to have the copper exports go
forward unhampered to neutral ports
for it is shown that at least one-ffth
of the entire population of the State
would be made to feel the effects. 1t
is shown that l6,5o0 people are en-
ployed and upon these workmen over
1900 people are directly depnedent
least S5,000 Practically every branch
of mining will be affected if the cop
per metal market is wiped out by the
recognition of the doctrine that cop
per is contraband of war. Thus by
cutting off the supply of the red metal
all mines would be forced to close
down Smelters cannot operate if
there is no market for copper, as 90
per cent of the tonnage treated is cop
per ore. During 1913 Utah mines pro
duced 100000 tons of ore, valued
at $44,S00000. OF this tonnage 9,070,
600 were copper ores, of value OF
$25,024,000
Last year the mines of Utah paid
out in wages $l7,000000, 100000 in
railroad freights, 100000 in taxes and
$l0,000,000 for material and supplies
"a total of $32,000,000 OF this, at
least 90 per cent paid out by the
copper mines.
