LOOKING UP LOCATION
FOR CALIFORNIA (OlONISTS

d. Mcmillan, of Scotia, Humboldt
county, California, is in town, looking
for land for large colonization
scheme. There are from 225 to 250
families in the vicinity of his home
town that wish to move in body to
where they can obtain cheap land. Of
this number about rs families are
Scotch and Irish, the remainder
Swiss Italian.
Mr. Mcmillan has visited Jungo
and vicinity, but conditions were not
considered favorable to his project,
and he continued on to the Quinn riv-
er valley, with which he was favorab-
ly impressed. During the present week
he will make another visit to this To-
cality, accompanied by R. M. Ed
munds. He states that each family
wishes to secure half section of
land, and placing the number at 200,
it would require 100 sections of land
for the colony. However, Mr.. McMil-
Ian states that this need not be all in
one body, as his people would prob
ably prefer to establish two eolonies,
with the Irish and Scotch in one and
the Swiss-Italians in the other.

GERLACH FORGER HELD TO
ANSWER TO DISTRICT COURT

After a long and strenuous trip by
automobile Saturday to Gerlach, Dis
triet Attorney Moore, Miss Callahan,
his stenographer, Sheriff A. A. Burke
and his son, Dewitt, attended the pre-
liminary examination of an alleged
forger, Robert L. McRea, who wept
during the course of the proceedings,
says the Gazette.
McRea is said to have a prison
record in Montana which has been
sent for. He as brought in to the
county Jail yesterday by w. T. Scott
Butler, deputy sheriff at Gerlach,
while the party of officials returned
more leisurely by automobile.
MeRea, posing as a cattle buyer,
was arrested at Sulphur, Humboldt
country, by county officer on whom
he is alleged to have passed a bad
check.
According to the stories told Dis
trict Attorney Moore, he passed a
check for $25 on Paul Butler, Of
Flanagan, who conveyed him to Ger
laeh where he passed a bad check on
J. T. Hamlin, securing $13 and pay
ing a debt of 81 left over from last
year. The name of J. F.. Maurice, al
legged to be fictitious person, was
signed to the Hamlin check and it
was drawn ON the Cook County bank
of Pineville, Oregon. 1t is further al
legged that Bert Moffatt gave McRea
$40 in return for another check and
that a check of $40 was left behind
when MeRea continued to Humboldt
county to pay an old debt owing John
Harnan. MeRea went through Ger
lach a year ago. On the trip from
Flanagan to Gerlach he stopped and
talked with number of ranehers
about buying cattle.
McRea had difficulty in making up
his mind to to whether to make a
statement in his own behalf. He tried
to get Hamlin to dismiss the com
plant, saying he could easily get the
money from the east and that his ac-
count was simply overdrawn, some
friend having been late in arriving
at the bank. He had an engaging
personality. The tears were shed az
the grand climax of an uneuceessful
appeal which followed his hearing
He was held for trial in the District
Court.

TIN AND GOLD DIS
COVERED IN NEVADA PLACER

Claiming the discovery of tin along
with gold in placer beds, northern Ne
vada is about to have somtheing new
in mining, besides bringing in the first
large dredging machine in that part
of the state, according to james b.
Allen, a mining man of Utah-Nevada,
who was in Salt Lake yesterday, a
guest at the Kenyon. He and asso-
ciates are forming the Goldville Plae-
er company. The property takes IN
fifteen full placer claims, or about
300 acres, located twenty miles north
west from Carlin. Mr.. Allen will be
manager. He said yesterday that IN
sampling the gravels he had found
uLdoubted evidence of tin. rms
makes in a nitrate of iron, which is
found in sluicing for the gold. 1t IS
the intention to have dredge in ope-
ration inside of sixty days.
Beautiful specimens of gold mug
gets were shown by the owner OF the
group. They were from the size of
pinhead to that of small bird s egg.
Mr.. Allen said that his tests convince
him that the richest sands will aver
age from So to $25 to the yard. These
gravels have been found to be ten to
thirty feet to bedrock. 1t is the ex-
pectation to at once put in a dredge
TO handle the sands on large scale
This will have a capacity of 80 ooo I
40 900 cubic yards month If tn
several tests now being made for tlr
prove up to the expectations of the
promoters, Nevada is about to wei
come the opening up of an entirely
new kind of mining for the state. In
fact, there is probably no known com
rnereial tin deposit west OF the Da-
kotas. -,
In the vicinity of the Goldville
group Spaniards and Cinnamon have
been washing out gold for many
wears. One Nevadan as said to have
cleaned up $4,000 in few years. rhe

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
MUSSING UP LAND LAWS

The interior department is always
mussing up our land laws to suit itself
and every few weeks or so some new
ruling comes out which completely
subiugates and eounteraets the statute
and undoes the former mandates of
the Office
The latest of these rulings applies
to desert land entries. It requires an
entryman to show title to water with
which to irrigate the land and he
must have a certificate from the irri-
CATION company showing that the wa
ter right has been purchased and that
the water is available.
Heretofore is has been customary
in fling an entry of a desert claim
not to be too particular about the
source from which it was expected to
obtain water for the reclamation of
the tract.
Some have drawn circles on their
entry blanks to indicate wells, others
have scratched a line to indicate a
ditch which might be built at later
time and leaving the more serious
business of obtaining a real water
right to be worked out later.
The new ruling, it is believed, will
bar any further entries under the
desert act on projects where there is
no certainty of getting water and this
means that great areas of land will
revert to goat pasture.-Review-

AN INADEQUATE
PATENT OFFICE LIBRARY

A representative of the Engineer
ing Record, in investigating the con
ditions under which the patent on the
high-pressure boiling Cor autclace)
cements test was granted, has found
that, though the German patent OF
Miehallis on high hpressure steam
test was on file. as were also card
index references to descriptions of the
test in books in the library of the
office, these antieipations were not
cited against the claims made by the
proposer.
1t is worth noting that the present
commissioner of patents, who, during
his year in office, has made greater
progress than during any similar
period in its history, has reported to
congress that the library is in need
of reorganization and enlargement;
that the material in the library is not
and never has been in condition for
ready reference, and that much of it
is practically unavailable for refer
enee. He recommends that a salary
more commensurate with the respon-
slbilties be paid the Librarian and
assistants, and that members of the
examining corps be given special
library training in the library of con-
gress. Furthermore, he requests an
increase of ten in the examining
force, and an increase in the number
of the more highly paid positions, so
as to make it possible TO hold higher
class of men in the service. Finally,
the crying need of better accommoda-
tions-a new building or an addition
to the present structure-is again
urged upon eongress.-Engineering

MAN KILLED IN WESTERN
PACIFIC YARDS AT ELKO

Late Yesterday afternoon a man by
the name of N. NJ. Salisbury, who was
evidently beating his way from the
east to the west on the Western Pa
cific railroad, was run over by a
freight ear in the wards at this place
and instantly killed.
During the afternoon he arrived
from the east freight train, and
as is usual with this class of men, he
got off and went up town for some
thing to eat, returning to the yards
in order to get the first train out. The
afternoon was quite warm, and in or
der to get in the shade he sat down
Oh the rail at the end of a long string
of box ears on one of the side tracks
IN the yard and leaned up against
the wheel. A companion who had
come in with him was talking over
their proposed ride to the west and
neither one noticed that switch en-
CINE had been shunted over onto the
track ON which he was sitting am
was coming after the ears. The en-
CINE, in making the coupling, hit the
ear on the other end, there being pos
sibly 20 or more freight and oil ears
IN tne strlnS, the impact stdftihg the
ear against which he was sitting, the
wheel knocking him flat across the
rail and passing across the lower part
of his body, completely severing both
legs close TO the body. He gave a
yell of fright when knocked down,
but was dead when his companion and
the switching crew reached him.

about 80 miles, in Churchill. Lyon and
Washoe counties, extending from
Browns station, on the Southern Pa

1t must be remembered that the
burden of the road repairs for the en-
tire distance from Montello. on the
Utah line, to Washoe county, has
fallen on the shoulders of Elko and
