Washington. President Wilson's
refusal to furnish the Industrial Rela-
tons Commission with copies of CORE
spondence with former Governor Am

part in the controversy between
Chairman Walsh and John D. Rookie
feller, Jr., over Walsh's assertion that
an agent of Rockefeller had written a
letter to the President for Governor
Ammons to sign.
The Presidents friends understand
he believes the commission should
conduct the investigation into indus
trial conditions. for which it was ere
atcd by Congress. without getting into
newspaper controversies
While he has not gone into the mer-

and Rockefeller, it is said he thinks

BIG SUM RECEIVED
FROM FOREST RESERVES

Governor Boyle is in receipt of a
check from the United States treasury
department at Washington for $16,-
244.53. This represents 25 per cent of
the amount the government has receiv-
ed from the sale of wood and rentals
of grazing lands on the forest reserves
within the state of Nevada.
Under an act of Congress this money
is apportioned to the state, to be dis
tributed pro rata in each county ae-
eording to the number of acres of for
est reserves, for the benefit of the pub
lie school system. Accordingly Douglas
county will receive $12.69; Elko, S.
394.55; Mineral, $3,044.54; Esmeralda,
$S3.33; Lyon, $20.6s; Nye. $541.S5;
White Pine, $1,161.31; Humboldt, $2,-
081.59; Washoe, $157.67; Eureka,
$2I504, and Lander $471.2S.
1t has been the custom with former
administrations, when this money was
received, to place it to the governors
individual account; he would then draw
personal checks for the several amounts
in favor of the counties to which 1t
was apportioned. This was done TO
money for which the state received
nothing in return, thereby making it
appear that the expense of state gov
ernment was greater than 10 really
was. However, Governor Boyle has de-
cided to place the money in the state
treasurer 3 hands and payments will be
made through the regular channel, so
that the counties entitled to their share
of forest reserve money may expect q
soon to receive eheck.-Appeal.

GOOD NEWS FOR OLD
TUSCARORA MINING CAMP

The arrival yesterday of the party
composed of Messrs f. X. Stallo, Nash
lockwood, III. w. Ketchen and Mrs. C.
\. Sweet, people who are interested in
the Tuscarora Nevada Mining compa
ny, means a great deal to the old min
ing camp of Tuscarora, and incidental
ly to Elko, says the Free Press. This
company has control of practically all
the mining property in Tuscarora, but
for the past two years it has been In
the hands of receiver and nothing has
been done. About year ago the big
mill was burned to the ground, and
the mine was allowed to be flooded
Last evening Mr.. Stallo, in an inter
view with the Free Press, stated that
he and his associates were here to look
over the property and that they ex-
pccted to make the trip to the mine
today, returning this evning and con
inuing their journey o to the east to-
light. He said:
eve who are interested in the Tus-
earora mines, have never been dis
eouraged nor have we believed the
property to be worked out. We have
spent thousands of dollars testing out
the values of the ore bodie htdnase YIN
the values of the ore bodies and the
immense dumps, and find that there Is
enough to justify us in going ahead.
The mistake in the past of those who
have taken up the property is that
they went on the supposition of high
grade proposition, but we have come to
the conclusion that to make a success
Of the property we must work it as a
low grade property, and have worked
out treatment whereby we can make
five dollar ore pay, and We all know
that there are thousands of tons of ore
that will go more than this already
blocked out.
"The first and main thing to settle
is the title to the property. 1t is In
the hands of receiver and the plan
is to put it through the courts and have
the receiver sell the property, and thus
the courts can give a good title. Then
we will put in a mill, generating the
power by means of oil-burning engines
IN Elko, carrying the electric power to
TusearOra by wire. The mill will have
large capacity, and the mines will be
worked to their full capacity. 1t will
probably be early in the spring before
We can get things to moving

REDUCE TOWN TAX
RATE 45 CENTS.

This morning County Treasurer
Hoenstine received a telephone mes
sfge from Secretary Adamson, of the
Nevada Tax commission, stating that
the order had been made reducing the
town tax rate of Winnemucc,, and that
same would be received here this af
ternoon. By this order the total tax
rate of the town is reduced from So Is
to $1.70 ON each 800 of assessed valu-
alton, or 45 cents. Upon receipt of the
telephone message Treasurer Hoen-
stine began the collection of taxes un-
der the revised rate of $3.303, and all
who have paid at the former rate of
$3.753 will be refunded the difference
upon application.
Although there was a quorum of the
county board in town today it was not
considered necessary to call a special
meeting of the commissioners, and the
matter will go over until the regular
December meeting, when the formal
order will be made.

INSURANCE RATES ON
BREWERY WORKERS CUT

A reduction of 35 per cent in en-
ployers' liability insurance for en-
pioyes of Missouri breweries went into
effect last week. This virtually is the
only industry in which the rates were
cut. The new schedule, affecting all
Missouri industries, which became eff
fective November /, recorded an av-
eIage increase of about 33 per cent in
rates.
The brewery rate was reduced from
AZ cents to % cents per 800 of pay
roll, and the distillery rate was in
creased from IS cents to $1.25.
The companies did not decrease the
brewery rates out of friendliness to
the brewery owners, was the declara-
tlon of E. V. Thompson, president of
the Insurance Federation of Missouri.
"The cut in rates was ordered after
reports showing the experience of all
the casualty companies in Missouri had
been filed with the Workmen IS Compen-
sation Bureau of New York; Thomp-
son said. "The reports showed that
the accidents in breweries have been
constantly decreasing.
"The lowness of the new brewery
rates indicates that the insurance COM
panies do not regard the drinking of
light beers as causing any addition to
the hazard involved in the insuring of
a factory full of employees.
GIN fact, the companies have long
impressed upon their agents in cities
and towns throughout the country that
their experience has been that an al
most negligible number of accidents
have been caused through the employs ,
drinking of light beers, although many
accidents are attributable to overin-
diligence in more intoxicating beverag-

INCREASED VALUES
IN ROCHESTER MINE

ROCHESTER, New, Nov. ls.-The
great strike of ore in the Friedman
tunnel in Rochester Hill which was re-
ported a few days ago at a point 1342
feet from the portal has been constant
ly increasing in magnitude and unques-
tionably assumes an Importance rarely

reported last night the bore had gone

nearing a richer zone which indicated
tie probable pr ,sence of the footwall
AS officially re2mttd by L. A. Fried
man of the Rochester Mines co lpany
in letter going o1t to stockholj, rs
today, the vein may be properly termed
contact vein with an adeslte fu: 4
wall and rhyolite hanging wall ly'rg
almost fiat. The tunnel passei througJ
this for 81 feet, whi..n is all very high
lv mineralized rratt'r, but carries vul-
les only from 81 t. sc a ton. At this
point very goll Quartz vein vas en-
eountered which stands as near rs can
be told at this time at an angle of
about 45 degrees and is from Gig to
tai feet in wild h, rith values ranging
from So to $50 ton. The last sample
taken yesterday and which WIS taken
very conservatively across the greater
portion of the vein, gave returns of
S7.20 in gold and $5.45 in silver.
f'I am satisfied that the average of
this vein will yield ore of much better
grade,' says Mr.. Friedman, "as we
40 not figure that we cut it in the ore
shoot, judging from the rake of our
ore shoots above.
"After passing through this vein,
the tunnel again advanced through this
contact for a distance of Is feet and
the face of the tunnel is coming into
very good looking quartz of which
there are no assays as yet.
"In our opinion this is by far the
most important discovery ever made in
Rochester Hill, as the finding of this
vein in addition to the vein which we
cut at the 1917 point absolutely dem
opstrates the deep-seated ore bodies of
Rochester, and in our opinion makes
the Rochester as big gold-silver mine
if not the biggest in the state of Ne
vada.
The tunnel is to be forced ahead to
the 1500-foot point, after which they
will raise to connect with the ore
bodies between 400 and 600 feet below
the bottom of the present WINES.
Wine 301 near the 400lfoot level is
in 26 feet of excellent ore running ten
to thirty dollars, with occasional assays
cf $50 to 500. Winze 300 is in 10 feet
of clean ore on the same vein of about
the same value.
The company is opening up the west
vein in the old Four J block, known
as block 8, approximately 400 feet
north of Wine 301, and giving five
feet of $40 to $36 ore. The west vein
az also being opened in the old Codd
lease in block with excellent results.
On account of the Immense tonnage
that is now being opened out, plans
are announced for increasing the ca
pacity of the mill. Good streams of
water have been purchased in Relief
and Buffalo canyons, making it neces-
sary to pipe but 1900 feet to connect
with the present line.

WILL ERECT MILL AT THE
OKLAHOMA MINE IN SPRING

Col. Tom Ewing returned yesterday
frem a trip to San Francisco. Several
weeks ago he took 1000 pounds of low
and medium grade ore from the Okla
homa mine, which ne had worked out
b the Vandercook system, at the
California Extraction company The
ore was divided into three equal parts,
one of which gave returns of $79.42
in gold, being within one per cent of
the assay, and the other 1854, saving
9S.7 per cent of the values.
Col. Ewing left for the mine today
and upon his arrival will put an in
creased force of men at work. As
early in the spring as weather condi-
tions will permit, one of the Wander
cook system mills will be built on the

called this morning in the District
Court. When asked if the State was
ready for trial, District Attorney
Powell replied in the affirmative, and
asked that the name of NJ. B. Moore
be entered of record as associate eoun-
sci for the State, which motion was
granted
When defendants counsel were ask
ed if they were ready to proceed, At
torney Robins, on behalf of defendant
Elma Forquer, requested that she be
given separate trial, quoting section
7l67 of the Statutes in support of his
motion. Attorney Frame, on behalf of
defendant James O'Donnell, then made
similar request. Upon consulting the
section of the Statute cited, Judge
Dueker stated that evidently the court
was allowed no discretion in the mat
ter, and accordingly the motions were
granted.
The court inquired of District Attor-
ney Powell which case he elected to
proceed with, and after consultation
with his associate counsel, Mr.. Powell
announced that he wished to take up
the case of State of Nevada VS.. Elma

MISSION
FOR WINNEMUCCA

The preaching mission of the mis-
sionary district of Nevada will be held
Sunday, November 2s to Sunday, De-
cember 5, inclusive. The mission will
he preached in Reno, Carson, Tonopah,
Las Vegas, Fallon, Sparks, Winnemuc-
ca, Elko, Ely, and other places.
The general theme is "The Holy
Spirit.o This nationwide preaching
mission is the result of the action of
the last General Convention, where the
suggestion was made and acted upon,
and suitable committee appointed TO
arrange the plan.
The movement supposes that in GER
tsin large centers and in the larger
parishes, special missioners will be se-
cured for a series of services extending
over period of eight or ten days. N
other cases, certain parish clergy In the
diocese will undertake the work for
some one parish in the diocese, taking
few days from his usual duties. In
many cases, the rector must care for
it himself, be his own missioner, aided
by the use of suitable literature, and
the hearty cooperation of his own peo-
pie.
In the state of Nevada the mission
is being held by the method of ex-
change, and following this plan the
missioner at st. Mary's church will be
the Rev. Ernest H. Price, rector of st.
Paul's church, Elko. The program of
services will be printed in full in an
other issue of this paper.
Come to the mission-and let each
one give the most thoughtful attention
to the message of the missioner who,
with "passion for souls,' makes his
voice ring out in deepest earnestness
to bring men into the way of Christ.
