the way at Searles station and took
trip over the new line running to

GOOD RUN OF ORE REPORTED
AT JUSTICE MINE

AL. MINIS and partners who have
a lease on the Justice mine, recently
had 200-ton milling of ore from
that property which proved profit
able one. The ore was milled at the
McTigue mill in Silver City and the
bullion sold at Carson. 1t is said
that this ore showed average values
around 800 per ton. The ore was ex-
traeted from the upper levels of the
property above the Justice drain tun-
mel and near the early day workings.
II looks as If the Justice would come
to the front soon with a still larger
production, its total bullion yield to
date being above S3,000,000 Much
work is being done by the lessees
with very favorable outlook.-Vir

100000 ACRES
Of LAND SOLD IN
ELK0 COUNTY
ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT AT
LAMolLLE GIVES FARMERS
CHEAP POWER.

Vast quantities of the Nevada land
have been sold within the last year
and there has just been thrown on
the market many thousands more
which is being grabbed up. says the
Elko Free Press. Within the last
year there has been placed on the
market 275 900 acres of Central Pa
cific land in Elko county alone, ac-
cording to Land Agent Derbyshire OF
the Southern Pacific, whose head
quarters are at Elko. The Southern
Pacific controls the land as it owns
the old Central Pacific road and its
holdings. OF the more than a quarter
of million acres in Elko county of
the Central Pacific lands the differ
ent allotments during the year were;
$4,000 acres in Glover valley; 10000
acres in the Halleck district; $4,000
acres in Independence valley 10000
acres in the Wells district; $4,000
acres south of Elko. and 10000 acres
in the Cobre-Shafter district.
OF the 275,000 acres put on the
market in the last year in Elko coun-
1 ty, 100000 acres have already been
sold and the land is going very fast.
1t has sold from $3.50 to SIS an acre
and the average price has been $3.50
an acre.
For years there was popular
prejudice in the east that Nevada
was one grand, glorious desert. the
land worthless and that nothing could
be grown out here. But in later
years the public back east has been
shown that such is not the case, but
on the contrary we have the richest
land in Elko county to be found any
where in the United States, and that
! the crops here are the best and al
most anything can be grown in ElkC
county.
In the Glover and Lamoille valleys
, there is water in abundance, as wal
discovered when the Elko Lamoill'

TONOPAH A PHENOMENAL CAMP
AND 4 WONDER OF THE WORLD

nous crops in almost every line, the
people will not have as much money
to spend as they would under nor.
NAL conditions The profits this year
will go largely to paying up old OBJ
legations and loans contracted to
carry them through the years of de-
preston. This naturally curtails the
buying power Of the people and this
in turn reduces the jobbing trade
and general merchandising and hurts
the railroad traffic. The Southern
Pacific finds it necessary, in face Of
these conditions, to reduce operating
expenses by cutting off Trains Nos.
3 and and arranging the time table
so other trains will take care of the
local business that formerly was han
died by these trains.
Nevada is the most prosperous
state on the Southern Pacific. as 1t is
enjoying an era of expansion that is
truly remarkable. Every branch Of

new investments are beginning to

what to say, as it is camp of phe

wonderful in the world Your people
down here don't seem to understand
the greatness of the production and
the constant development that is
bringing in each day new producers.
Take the findings on the Extension.

material to boost this camp for an
other twenty years. Again ! repeat

fact that there is not another camp
on the continent that can line up
with Tonopah. Then | am told that
the Rescue, after ten years inter
mittent work, has come into ore and
the Halifax has ten years ore supply
in sight to justify the construction
of one of the largest mills in the
camp. Now, why don't the people
of Tonopah let the world know these
things? The only explanation J can

sensational developments and cannot
appreciate the steady progress max

MAY
LEAVE THEIR LAND
TWICE A YEAR
SETTLERS MAY LEAVE LANDS
TWICE EACH YEAR AGGRE-
eating FIVE MONTHS.

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Repre-
sentative Sinnott, of Oregon, by di-
rection of the committee on public
lands, has favorably reported to the
house bill amending the three-year
homestead law to permit entrymen
to absent themselves from their en-
tries for two periods each year. in
stead of one, as the law now stands,
provided their total absence does not
exceed five months. The bill, as re-
ported, has strong support among
western congressman, and there is
considerable hope that the bill may
become law this session. eThe in
terror department, in recommending
the passage of the bill. said:
THE three-year homestead act con
tains the apparently liberal provision
that the entryman may absent him
self for as much as five months in
each residence year, but that priv
ilege is allowed by "a continuous
leave of absence from the land for a
period OF not exceeding FIVE months.
This limitation on the manner in
which the absence might be taken
was intended to prevent sporadic
periods OF residence scattered
through each year OF the entry, and
so far as 1t sought to attain that re
suit, was undoubtedly a wise proyi
sion. However, il is manifest that
hardships may often be entailed on
entrymen by refusal to allow then
to divide the period into two parts.
ut is thought that the permission
OF such division would afford much
necessary relief. and that the restric
tion to two absences would serve al
+ the purposes of the present narrower
/ limitation. therefore recommend
that the proposed legislation be en-
acted into law"
In Ms report on the bill Sinnot
makes this further observation. "Th'
passage of this bill would enabl
homestead entrymen to obtain EN-
ployment away from their home
steads both during the harvest ses
! son and the winter season, when thei
services are not needed on thei
homesteads."
