Especial to the Silver state.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Vietor
Barn t, of Tonopah, has fled with
the Commissioner o. the General Land
Office a protest sganst the granting
of a patent on alleged fraudulent To-
cations upon some $4,000 to 10000
acres at Searl S Lake. to the Califor-

owned by the American Trona Corpo.
ration, financed and controlled, he al
leges, principally by an English cor
poration, the Consolidated Goldfields
of South Africa He has recently
come to Washington and has appealed
to Senators Newlands and Pittman to
aid him in getting a hearing before
the Commissioner Of the Public Land
Office.
Mr. Barndt alleges that the valu-
ables deposits at Se8fl s Lake aetu-
ally cover only about $1,000 acres, but
he is convinced that these lands hold
some Of the most valnable deposits Of
soda, borax and potash in the United
States He holds that the equity of
the Trona company will be fully re-
eognized and that all present and fu
ture investments u;l be rendered
highly profitable t. the public if the
Trona company snail receive the first
choice of federal leases at Searl 3
Lake, as contemplated under the pend
ing conservation bill.
Helen Stewart, of Las Vegas, has
made an appeal to Senator Newlands
in behalf Of the Indians of that place,
numbering between I75 and 200, in
eluding 40 children of school age. She
writes that they need an allotment of
land and an artesian well, when their
knowledge Of agriculture and the art
of basket making viii enable them to
become self-sustaining.
The lady adds: - You, who have
done so much for the state of Nevada
by the conservation Of water and the
reclamation of lan1, could, by using
your influence, give to these Indians
homes and advanced civilization, and
a future for their children.
Senator Newlands submitted this
appeal to the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, with the request that he find
some way, if possible, to grant the
request.
