new SMELTER FOR
CAMP BULLION

contract was signed this forenoon
by Frederick Davis, manager of the
Bunker Hill Mining company, where
ty the site of the old smelter at Bull
lion were leased to T. X. Moe and as
sociates, of San Francisco, for the erec-
tion of fifty-tOn smelter, which is to
be installed and ready for business in
&C days.
This is indeed good news for the
camp, and in fact for the entire county
as what effects one section is felt by
ali. Mr.. Moe, who is one of the heavy
stockholders in the Dome Mining and
Leasing company, who are operating a
lease in the camp, says that the pria-
cipal reason they are putting in the
smelter is to handle their low grade at
profit. The transportation charges
from the camp to the Utah smelters
is so great that it takes $50 ore to
make profit, but with the smelter
right at the mine, ore carrying values
OF $15 can be mined at profit. The
mill will do custom work and will be
able to handle all the ores mined in
the camp, which carry copper, lead,
silver and gold At the present time
there are fully 100000 tons of ore in
sight and ON the dumps that will go
better than $l5 and will enable the
leasers to realize on their work. Fully
two thirds of the ore carries values
less than $50 and it is on the dump or
has been left standing in the tunnels.
The new smelter will be erected on
the site of the old smelter and the old
foundation will be used. There are
fully $4,000 tons of Stag on the old
smelter dump, carrying values as fol
lows: iron % per cent, lead per cent,
copper 21a per cent and a small value
in silver and gold, making the Stag
worth about $40 per ton. This will be
used in fiuxing and will return fair
value to the smelter. The Bullion ores
have been in great demand by the out
side smelters, owing to the fact that
they are practically elf-fuxing, as they
carry the proper percentage of fuxing
materials Then there are large bodies
of lime and iron right at the doors of
the camp, which will solve the diff
Guilty that most smelters have of ship
ring in their fiuxing materials.
The camp of Bullion is what is
known as a leasers camp, that is, the
camp is being developed by leasers
At the present time six properties are
being worked on this basis and the
paw roll carries so men. With the com
pletion of the smelter this force will be
more than doubled and the smelter has
enough ore engaged to keep it busy
night and day for over two wears if not
another ton were developed.
This insnres that the camp of Bull
hon will be put in the producing list
and the people of Elko are CORES
pondinglv happy.-Free Press.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL
COMING TO NEVADA

Although the midsummer dullness
all over the country has been reflected
by a general quietude in mining invest
ments, there is nevertheless q healthy
uhdertone and evidences of substantial
movements under way that foreshadow
great activity within a comparatively
short time, and a large increase in min
ing development.
Some of the foremost mining men of
other states are now turning their at
tention to Nevada and absorbing some
on the splendid opportunities that have
been neglected for years in old dis
tricts, and are also showing lively
interest in the progress of develop
1ent in the newer camps that have re
Gently sprung into prominence.
Among these people may be mention
ed such men as John MacGinnis, for
merly mayor of Butte, Montana, who
was for years associated with F. Au-
gustus Heinze; Thomas r. Kinds of
Toronto and AL Frank, now head of
the Ohio Copper company at Bingham,
Utah, who have recently acquired the
Delaware mine at Seven Troughs and
the Darby mill at Mazuma. They are
men of unlimited means and large plans
aud viii be prominent factors in future
operations in the Humboldt range
country.
Other capitalists who have commene-
Ell extensive Investigations of Hum
boldt county, and who will soon arrive
from the east by auto to make
personal examinations are Charles
Crane, of the Crane Iron and Steel
interests at Pittsburgh; Mr.. Til
der, son of the president of the
and join Gin the prayer of the com
Union Stock Yards at Chicago; Mr..
Griffin, of the Griffin Car Wheel com
psny and Walter A. Rehm, promi-
nent Chicago capitalist.
These are only instances of the big
men who are now adding their capital
and support to the mining interests of
Nevada, but it shows the trend of the
times and the confidence which men of
bg caliber and large industrial inter
ests have in the mining resources of
Nevada. 1t is an encouraging sign, and
the forerunner of a flood of invest
ments by Eastern capital.-Western

STATE EQUALIZATION
BOARD HARD AT WORK

The state board of equalization YES
teTtlay made but very few changes IN
the assessed valuations placed on the
railroads and public utilities by the
tax commission for the year 1915.
says last evenings Carson Appeal
In Douglas county. where the assess
ment roll was practically male up be
fore the order of the tax commission
was received. and did not conform to
the commissioners valuation, it was
ordered by the board that
the valuations made by the commission
be upheld.
In the absence of G. E. Mccarthy,
assessor of Clark county, nothing will
Le taken up concerning that county
until he is present.
The assessment of the Virginia
Ranch, Land and Water company of
Douglas county, was also passed in or
der to give Mr.. Dangberg, the head IF
the company, an opportunity to be
heard.
The Goldfeld Consolidated Water
company was assessed in 1914 for
$3.50 900 and for 1915 has been raised
To $210,000, an increase of TO per cent.
The question of the assessed valua-
ton on live stock is scheduled for TO-
dsy and promises To be quite spirited
and interesting affair, on account of
the vast amount of money invested in
that industry.

(SpeC1ai 0OrTeSpOnuence)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 16.-As
business managers the Democrats have
been a conspicuous failure.
1t has already been shown that the
three laws the last Congress enacted
to raise money, namely, the tariff, in
come tax, and twar tax laws, each
failed to produce the amount needed.
A study of the record of laws enact
81 to spend money shows that careless
methods of appropriation insured
wasteful expenditure.
Examine the history of appropria-
tion bills during the time the Demo-
mratic House has handled them. and
you will find that fifteen regular appro-
pliation bills have failed to pass be-
fore the necessary date, and that ff-
teen times a resolution extending the
appropriation of the previous year had
to be passed.
This method of appropriation is an
admission of ineompetency and ineffi-
cheney in itself 1t causes a tremen-
deus financial loss in the work of every
department of government. 1t compi-
Gates accounts, hinders the making of
plans in advance, prevents the execu-
ton of contracts for necessary work,
and prevents allotting funds equitably
for the different seasons of the year.
member of the present cabinet,
Secretary of Commerce William c. Red
field, severely criticized Congress for
this kind of extravaganza. in his last
annual report.
Finally, money loss arises from
failure to make appropriations in time
tc keep the work of the government
moving said Secretary Redfield
1.-The serious results of these latter
losses are probably not appreciated.
They undoubtedly amount to more than
some of the economies thought to be
effected by clipping estimates. -
In this connection it should not be
overlooked that during the sixteen
wears of Republican control preceding
the present administration, the appro-
priation bills were invariably passed
before they were needed, and an ex-
tension resolution was never resortd
to.
Two of this year s great supply bills,
enc apprOpriating funds for the Post
office department and the other for the
Indian bureau, failed of passage last
March. All the work of preparing esti-
mates, planning new projects, and the
intelligent continuation of former work
Las been absolutely wasted by the fail
ure of these bills. The affairs of those
two branches of government must now

years old, which are absolutely foreign

FUSES TO TESTIFY

The preliminary examination of
Jsmes O'Donnell on the charge Of

Gay morning, at 10 o clock.
Judge Dunn overruled defendants ,
objections to Mrs. Elma Forquer tes-
tifying for the State, and the witness
was directed to answer questions of
the district attorney.
The first question by Attorney
Powell was: 'What is your full
namef'' which she gave. The second
question put was: How old are you2v
The answer was: 81 have no desire to
be eontemptuous to the court but un-
der instructions of my counsel ] re-

Justice Dunn again instructed her to

whereupon the witness again refused
to testify. Thereupon the court pro-
nouneed her in contempt of court At
this stage Attorney Robins stated to
the court that "the witness was acting
NJ der the advice of counsel and did

Counsel for defendant raised the
objection that the witness was illegal
~ in court; that in order to secure
the attendance 'of a witness in court
who is confined in the county Jail an
order must be first secured from the
District Court. The objection was taken
under advisement by the court until
