Mexican Mining Company Of Comstock
Arranging to Erect New Mill

s. f. Journal of Commerce says:
The action taken by the Board of
Directors of the Mexican Gold and
Silver Mining Company at a special
meeting Monday, in voting to invest
approximately $145, 900 of the COM
pany's surplus in the Rochester dis
trict is hailed with delight by those
who expect that locality to become a
great mining camp.
The Mexican directors voted to
assume an Indebtedness of $45, 900
which the Rochester Mines Company
and the Rochester Weaver Mining
Company owe to the Tonopah Bel
mont people. In addition the Mexi-
can directors have contracted to
build mill to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $l00,0OO to treat the ores
of the Rochester Mines and Rochest-
er Weaver Mining Companies, and
to have the plant completed and in
operation by July 1. 1914.
On their part the Rochester COM
panies have agreed to furnish 100
tons of ore day for 1000 days.
The Mexican Company is to charge
Sc per ton for milling these ores, and
at the expiration of three years the
Rochester companies agree to buy
the mill at the cost price of $780, 900.
The contract with the Mexican in
these matters has yet to be passed
upon by the Boards of Directors OF
the Rochester Companies, and the
Mexican Company has until March
/, 1914, to accept or reject the final
terms.

No Bounty On Badgers

For a number of years past the
State has paid bounty on badgers
and this year when the scalp certif-
Gates began coming in the officers
allowed the old prices on badgers to
be figured in, says the Elko Free
Press. But County Clerk Voight has
discovered that this is all wrong and
the thousand scalps taken from the
inoffensive badger will be worthless
to the owners. While if left on the
skin the scalp enhances its value. but
in the past more money could be
made by selling the scalp separate.
A law passed. dated February Is,
1913, places the amount of the diff
ferent bounties as follows: Coyote,
80 cents; lynx or wildcat, 81; noun
tain lion. $5. These are the only
bounties allowed by law.

Appendix a Useful Organ

That the appendix is a much
abused organ and of the utmost i'm.
portance to man, was the gist of a
paper read at Paris, France, recent
ly before the Academy of Sciences,
Submitted to the academy by Ed.
mund Perrier, the thesis was the
result of experiments conducted by
DR.. R. Robinson, of the Museum OF
Natural history.
DR.. Robinson maintained that the
appendix can not be removed with
out injury to the system because il
discharges, under normal conditions,
liquid called "hormone" which aids
the work of the intestines. "Hor-
ONE is name given any substance
derived from an organ and able to
stimulate function of the body. The
removal of healthy appendix, DIR.
Robinson concluded, is a great mis-
take.
