NO LONGER KNOWN
AS EASY ODD|E'

Since Governor Oddie took Office
four years ago he has had many .
hard nut to crack and it was usually
his Democratic friends that got him
in trouble. Being of a sociable and
affable disposition and believing that
he was under obligations to some Of
his Democratic as well as Republican
friends he found it hard at times to
say No, and for this some of his ene-
mics fastened tn ename of Easy
Oddie' on him. But in the last year
the governor has demonstrated that he
is not the Easy Oddie' they would
have the public believe, as on numer-
Gus occasions he has been firm in his
denials. He was the only members of
the board of pardons to deny the ap-
pl'cation of M. r. Preston for a par
don and it is due to his firm stand
that the murdered of John Silva was
not granted an unconditional pardon.
This matter was made an issue in the
last election in certain sections of the
state and the voters of the state will
not forget the action of certain MEM
bers of the board in nulIifvinO the
judgment Of our courts.-Eko Free

LOvELOCK WINS SUNDAYS
BALL GAME FROM RENO

After having its game on ice, the
Reno baseball team lost the contest at
Loveloek Sunday when the home team
made three runs in the last half of the
ninth inning. The catastrophe was
due to little wildness on the part of
Raines who was the third Reno pitch
er to take the mound and to gen.
eral blowing up of the team behind
him. 1t was the best game ever seen
on the Lovelock grounds. The score
was 4 to 3, in favor of LOvelock.
Smith, Reno's former catcher and
now on the receiving end for Love-
lock, sent out Texas Lacquer over
econd, good for two bags, and drove
in the three men who were on bases.
Loveloek had made single run in
the eighth inning off delivery of
Nease. Sollenberger pitched for Reno
up to the end of the sixth inning and
held the Lovelockers tight, allowing
few hits and no runs.
In the first inning Pittson accident
ally eolided with every man on a
base and injured them all slightly.
Five minutes lntermision was requir-
ell to allow Smith to recover his
wind. He was struck in the stomach.
Josephson sprained his ankle in the
eighth inning
All of Reno's runs were made in
the first inning. The Reno lineup:
Burhans, catcher; Fitzgerald, first
base; Abbot, third base; Crew, short
stop; Taber, left field; Josephson, cen
ter field; Rice, right field; Sollenber-
ger, Nease, Raines, pitchers.

WTNGFIEID'S MINING Elk
PERT GOES TO JARBDGE

G. 9. Starr a well known mining
engineer of Reno, Nevada, and one
of Geo. wingdeld's consulting ex-
perts, accompanied by c. c. Winter,
arrived Thursday from Reno, and left
the following day for Jarbidge where
they will spend some time making a
thorough investigation of the camp.
1t is intimated that Mr.. Wingfeld
may yet become interested in the
camp which is now giving indications
of becoming a big producer. There
is less noise made about the camp
now than at any period of its history,
but the development work of the past
year has resulted in several properties
booming producers, and several new

GEOLOGY ROCKY
MOUNTAIN COUNTRY

The United states west OF the lO5d
meridian. comprising the Rocky
Mountain. Plateau, Desert and Sier-
ra Nevada regions, is one of the most
important producers of precious and
allied metals in the world. Within
this area are many mining regions or
camps which are known as Ginning
districts In most of the states the
boundaries of these districts are well
recognized, some of them are legally
recorded, and nearly all eau be plot
ted ON state maps with a fair degree
OF accuracy. In the Mother Lode
country of California, however, there
are no thinning Districts in the
sense that the term is used in the
other states.
The output Of the mines in the
United States is reported yearly to
the division of mineral resources of
the United States Geological Survey,
and by study of the district reports
for a number Of years the values of
the most important metals well deter
mined. In some districts, notably
those in Colorado, the values of sew
raj products are nearly equal, but in
most of the districts the output of one
metal has a greater value than that
OF the rest.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has published reports on the
economic geology of a large number
of the mining districts of the country.
In 1908 the survey included in its an
nual volume, "Mineral Resources of
the United States" map of the
western states showing the location
of the mining districts. A later pub
lication, Bulletin 507, Ginning Dis
tricts of the Western United States, y
b. J. M. Hill, contains a revised edi.
tion of this map, together with much
new material, and is an index of the
gold, silver, copper, lead, zine, quick
silver, iron and rare-metal mining dis
tricts of the western states.
A geologic introduction to this re-
port, by Waldemar Lindgren, gives a
general summary of the geology of
the states and describes in some de-
more important camps as well as some
of the less widely known mining re-
gions. This part of the report in
cludes a small map of the western
United States showing the general
distribution of the mining districts.
The report contains a separate map
of each state, showing the location OF
the mining districts and by appro-
pirate symbol the principal metals
products in each. There are IA OF
these state maps, which show the -
cation and area of over 1,400 mining
districts. The map including the
largest number of districts is that Of
the northern counties of California,
which contains 222 districts; the
smallest is the map of trans Pecos
Texas, which shows only IL districts.
With every mining district symbol
on each of these maps is number
which refers to its name in an accom-
panying list. A photography of the
publication of the U. 8. Geological
Survey on each district is included
in the text, as well as condensed
statement of the geology and nature
of the ore deposits, list of the
metals produced, and the shipping
point of the camp.

Utah and Nevada members OF the
American Institute Of Mining Engi-
neers have been granted a charter
by the national organization provid-
ing for the organizing Of local
branch to be known either as the
Utah local or the Utah Nevada local.
Letters have been sent to the min
ing engineers in Nevada who are
members of the national institute ask
ing if they will join with the Utah
members in organizing the new local.
If they prefer to organize q local Of
their own the Utah members Of the
national association will at once per-
feet branch to be known as the
Utah local.
President B. B. Thayer of the ma
tional organization notified r. r.
Gemmell general manager of the
Utah Copper company, of Salt Lake
this week that the charter had been
granted and named Mr.. Gemmell as
chairman Of the organizing commit
tee. Mr.. Gemmell has suggested to

who are members of the organizing
committee with him: Duncan Nc
Vichie, G. w. Ritter, L. Hanchett, Geo.
Blood and Ernest Gaylord.
The Utah members of the National
Institute of Mining Engineers are ex-
ceedingly anxious to get the new local
organized and under way in order
that work may be started ON prepa-
rations for entertaining the delegates
to the national convention of the as
sociation which will meet in Salt
Lake in August. A fund of $4,000 is
being raised among the mining COM
panies to provide for the entertain
ment of the visitors, and elaborate
preparations are under way for the
convention.
Many mining engineers who have
not heretofore been members of the

ENORMOUS FRUIT SHIPMENTS
FOR THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC

A strong rumor is current that the
Southern Pacific company has con-
tracted for 10000 cars of fruit to be
handled during the present season.
The entire canteloupe crop is said. to
be contracted for. The movement of
these ears will mean an enormous
piece of business and will result in
the employment of every available
piece of machinery and every man
that can be procured. Forty thous-
and ears at so cars to the train will
mean 800 trains of fruit to be moved
on manifest time, and about half that
number of trains to be returned

Report of Expert WorSwick.
f.. A. worswick, county expert,
submitted his full report on township
and county officers to date. He states
that all are in good condition, with
the exception of those of the auditor
and recorder and county assessor,
concerning which the report says:
Auditor and Recorder.
The work of the recorder is up to
date and carried forward each day as
the demand requires. The work is
iournalizing and posting the accounts
of the auditor is going forward as
rapidly as possible and the work is
now completed to the third quarter Of
1912. At the present progress the
work should be completed to date in
about six weeks. The auditor should
then be able to keep the work up in
full.
County Assessor.
Since my last report the bullion tax
record has been posted and additional
reports received. This record now
shows the total bullion taxes for 1913
to be s1,336.75. OF this amount ST.
2s9.62 has been collected and paid to
the treasurer. Since my last report
there has been $252.00 deposited with
the treasurer on 1913 poll taxes. A
receipt book (No. 101 to 125, inc.)
has been found, containing 25 receipts,
for which the assessor is entitled to
credit for $500. This reduces the
bullion taxes to be collected to SALE
and reduces the amount still due on
personal property, and poll taxes for
1918 to $1,642.00
Such recommendations as / deem
Of Importance were taken up fully in
my previous report.
