SCIENTISTS FIRST
IN GIVING AID

In an article in yesterdays issue
we stated that the Episcopal church
was first to start movement in El-
ko toward sending relief to the strick-
en- Belgians. This was an error, as
the Christian Science church sent in
its Offering on October 25th, which
was an appreciable amount. On that
day the offering of every Science
church in the United States was sent
to the relief of the distressed in Eu-
rope. In the Mother church the Of
fering amounted to $4,000, and all the
branch churches are said to have do
mated comparatively large amount.
1t was not our intention to overlook
this splendid act of charity, and our
excuse is that we were not apprlsed
of the fact. They did not let their
right hand know what their left hand
was doing. 20

CASE INVOLVED
PROPERTY RIGHTS
Court Declared That Habit of Lono
Standing Does Not Constitute
Right

Judge Taber handed down a decis-
ion in district court yesterday
which will interest every property
owner in this county. The case re-
ferred to is that of Charles H. Black
VS.. Samuel Davis and wife. The case
arose over the question of the plain
tiff passing through land belonging
10 the defendants. The plaintiff al
legged that he had been passing
through the gate for years and that
in May 1911, the defendant locked
the gate without any explanation
whatever and prohibited him from
passing through as had been his Gus
tom. The plaintiff Immediately ap-
piled for and received an Injunction
prohibiting Davis from keeping the
gate locked, and resumed his habit
of passing through.
The defendants since have sued for
an order prohibiting Black from pass.
ing through the land and asking
that the injunction issued formerly.
be dissolved The case was then
heard on its merits and yesterday
Judge Taber handed down the decis-
ion dissolving the former Injunction
and issued orders restraining the
plaintiff from passage.
The suit aroused a great deal of
interest in this county as the matter
of passageway through another's
land has been brought up a number
OF times and has been matter of
great Importance and interest with all
property owners as many people con-
tend that if they have been using
another's land for a private road for
any length of time, they have acuuir-
ed that right for all time. This de-
cision of Judge Taber's however, will
put the matter at rest to a certain
extent and settle matter which has
caused much litigation in recent
years.

THREE CORNERED...
BASKETBALL MATCH

Elko will have an opportunity of
seeing great three-cornered basket
ball match when Ely and Winnemucca
come here on the third day of Decem-
ber. On the night of the third the To-
cal lads will tangle up with Ely and
the winners of that engagement will
play Winnemucca the next night. The
local athletes were defeated by Win.
nemucca on the 21st and are aching
for revenge. Their strength, there.
fore, will be exerted to the utmost to
win the first game from the boys of
White Pine and then give Winnemuc-
ca the worst walloping they ever re-
ceived to make up for the recent de-
feat received from them. At any
rate, the games are sure to be hum
mers and all who attend will be sure
to get their moneys worth. Local
people are supporting the Elko team
in fine manner and there is no
doubt that a large crowd of rooters
will be on hand to spur the home
team on to victory.

FATSGR's ASSESSMENT
Was High AS Could Be Placed Just
Iy BY Assessor of This
County

a few days ago Recorder Greathouse
received instructions from the State
tax commission to raise the assess
ment of the land of w. w. Weathers
in Starr Valley over $1,000. Out of
all the taxpayers in the county, with
the exception of one other, Mr. Wealth
ers' property was the only one raised
AS Mr.. Weathers is the father of w.
Nj. tWeathers, the Elko county tax as
SCISSOR, 1t appeared as if the tax COM
mission believed that Mr.. Weathers
was holding down the assessment of
MS father in order to save him mon
ey on the payment of taxes. The
Whole matter tended to place Mr..
Weathers in a bad light and there
was no little comment over the mat
ter, although no one believed such
to be the case. However the matter
was set straight today when Record
er Greathouse received another order
from the commission saying the orig
1nal assessment on the property of
Mr.. Weathers, Sr., was correct and IN
ignore their order of few days back.
This order completely vindicated
Assessor Weathers, and his friends
as well as himself, are glad that the
commission has discovered their ar
ror and set the matter straight.

NATURAL PRODUCTS COMPANY
PURCHASES LAND IN SOUTH
FORK AND WILL CARRY
ON MINING -
MINES HAVE BEEN WORKED IN
THAT VICINITY FOR SOME
TIME BUT HAVE FAILED
FOR LACK OF FUNDS

AS was forecasted in the Independ-
ent a few days ago, the Natural Pro-
ducts Company, of San Francis CO,
Lave fieled their papers of incorpora-
tion in the Office of County Clerk
Voight and will begin to do business
in this county in short while. Ac-
cording to. reliable authority, this
company has purchased about three
sections of land from l.. M. Bellinger
and the Southern Pacific railroad
company This land Is in the South
Fork valley and is part of the land
on which lies the Soap King mine of
mineral soap. This company has
been interested in the mining of this
soap for some time and from time
TO time they have been getting sam
pies Of the mineral for testing pur-
poses. 1t is announced now that they
are satisfied that the claim will come
up to their expectations and that in
the near future they will put up a
plant in South Fork and begin the
work of mining and reducing the min
eral on large scale.
This mine is absolutely unique in
it's own line. There is probably not
another like it in the United States.
The soap derived from it is superior
to any soap manufactured and 1t is
confidently expected by all those who
know the property that 1t will work
great change in the soap industry
of the country. "
The Natural Products Company,
the company which has purchased the
property, is large one with capi-
tai stock of $250,00O and will be equip
ped in every way to give the venture
"a thorough trying out. They will
erect a plant with the necessary ma
chinery for reducing the mineral and
making 1t commercially valuable. All
this means that a great deal more
money will be brought into Elko coun-
ty. Their payroll will be a big thing
for the working people and for the
puoAhOSS llSu' " L mere Is no QOuDL mat
the advent of the new company will
mean big things for the county.
The situation of the property is
about 18 miles from this city and
some of the same land has been work
ed for some time by different people
and have found ready sale for the
product but as yet, the proper capital
to work 1t as 1t should be has never
been forthcoming. The taking over
of some of the same property by this
company however, has put an end to
that trouble and the lack of capital
will be no further hindrance.
The time of the beginning of ac-
tive work has not been announced by
the new company, but the popular ru-
NOR is that 1t will be as soon as the
spring opens UP sufficiently to permit
OF active work. "

SAYS ROCHESTER
IS MAKING GOOD

A. A. codd returned yesterday
from brief trip to Rochester, where
he went to inspect progress on the
Codd lease and the Nevada short line
railroad, which he is constructing in
to that camp and will soon have
completed says the Reno Journal.
Mr. Codd states that the laying of
track up Rochester canyon will be
finished to the Rochester Mines Com
pany's mill by December 10, and that
by the first of the new year he expects
to have the road completed to the
terminal in Upper Rochester, Which
Is within short distance of the big
mines.
From the upper terminal a wire
tramway will be constructed I'D the
hill to the mines for the purpose of
transporting the ore without the
necessity of continuing the railroad
along most prohibitive grades to
reach the mines. Big ore bins will be
constructed at the junction of the
tramway and railroad, and the ore will
be automatically dumped into the bins
as it comes down the hill, and from
there will be drawn off into the ore
cars of the railroads
The shipping ore will be conveyed
to the Southern Pacific railroad at
Oreana for transportation to Salt
Lake directly to the new mill that is
now being constructed between Up.
per Rochester and Lower Rochester
by the Rochester Mines company. A
new organization headed by l.. A..
Friedman, the famous mining man of
Seven Troughs, has recently taken oy-
er the interests of Cowan and other
small Salt Lake mining men, in the
mill and the Rochester Mines com
pany and will speedily carry on the
big work so well inaugurated by Mr..
Cowan and associates. It Is believed
that the new mill will be ready for
operation not later than February /.
Some new equipment, including a
Shea engine, will soon be added to
the transportation facilities of the
Codd railroad, which will then be
able to handle all the ore the camp
can produce.
Mr. Codd expresses himself as
highly pleased with the present show
ing of the entire camp, and of the
Codd lease in particular. The new
vein opened some time ago by cross
cut on the 400-foot level is showing
large body Of 5000 ore, which con.
tinues strong with development, and
good production is being made from
four different workings in the mine.
The Big Four lease adjoining the
Codd lease, Is making fully as good a
showing, being traversed by the same
vein system
Some excellent discoveries have re.

NEVADA AT THE
FRISCO FAIR

The Nevada mineral exhibit which
is to be shown in the palace of min
ing at the. Panama-Paciflc exposition
is rapidly rounding into shape, and
from the present outlook will rank
with the most potentious. In, the
southern part of the State, Mark
Bradshaw is making the rounds of the.
mining camps. while j. H. Price is
canvassing the northern Districts.
Since Nevada contains, ,,Tfthin her bor
ders practically every mineral' of
economic Importance, in varying
quantities., an adequate exhibit is
certain.
= One OF the most striking features
OF the Nevada mining and mineral
exhibit will be large relief map of
the State. 1t will be made on a scale
OF four miles to the inch, with the .ap-
proximate dimensions of seven feet
wide by ten feet long. On it will be
shown the mountains and valleys in
their correct position and relative
height, the lakes and streams, the rail.
roads and principal auto roads, The
location of the different mining camps
and prospects where useful minerals
are found will also be placed, in their
correct positions on the map. The
ores obtained at the various camps
will be shown by small flags of diff.
ferent colors. Thus, for instance, if
a camp produces silver, lead and cop
per, 1t will be shown by three small
flags of appropriate color.
The map is in the course of prep.
aration and will occupy a space at the
entrance to the booth where it will
give good idea of the varied mineral
resources of the State to the many
visitors at the exposition.
One of the plans is to have a uuan.
tity of alfalfa on exhibit in such shape
that the people not only may see it,
but take it in their hands and make
sure 1t is real. Another plan is for
a moving display of potatoes from the
various potato districts. Still an
other plan provides for special dis
plays of vegetables and garden truck
Sheaf displays of grains and grasses
will be under glass, but full displays
OF grains will be both under glass and
in the open. All displays will be in
competition for prizes.
One of the features of the agricul-
tural exhibit will be a relief map,
standing against the wall of the booth
at an angle. 1t will show all lands
now under cultivation and all water
supplies.
Soil samples down to a depth of
four feet are to be shown in glass
cylinders and in the open. The dairy
industry in Nevada will be demon
strated by miniature model farm.
There will be full displays of dairy
products and wool, and revolving
maps to give required statistical in
formation.
One of the difficulties experienced
In preparing the mining exhibit is
that of convincing the prospective
exhibitor that his samples will be re-
turned. Fears on this score are being
overcome, however, and replies to
letters asking for cooperation from
the mining interests are being receiv-
ed.
