VALID LOCATION MUST
HAVE MINERAL IN SIGHT

Location of a mining claim is not
valid unless based on a mineral dis
covery within the lines and on the
actual ground of the claim, although
it is known that a large number of
locations are made without mineral
discovery. 1t has been held by the
land department at Washington N
by many courts that a valid lOca-
ton of a mining claim may be made
whenever the prospectOr has discOv-
cred any indications of mineral, so
that he is willing to spend his time
pectation of finding ore. Applicants
for mining patent have their ground
examined by a federal government
mineral examiner. The position OF
a locator attempting to hold a loca-
ton without a mineral discovery
cannot be fully defined. The locat-
or is entitled to be protected in his
occupation of the ground, especially
while trying in good faith to make a
mineral discovery. Under the law
other locators are also entitled to go
upon the ground, so long as it can
be done peaceably and without in
terfering with the first claimant and
under such conditions to attempt to
make a discovery. In the case OF
these rival claimants, the claim goes
to the one making a discovery first.

WHITE PINE COUNTY
SCENE OF ACTIVITY
NEW DISCOVERIES BEING MADE
AND REDUCTION PLANTS
BEING ERECTED

With copper above 19c, with sill
yer above soc and with lead selling
from sc to &c per pound White Pine
county is placed in a most enviahle
position. There is no reasonable
doubt that silver will go to 75c per
ounce soon after the close of the
war. The lead and silver mines of
Hamilton will soon come into their
wi while Ward and other lead-sil-
yer producers will also have an in
ming. The sale of the Piermont
mines, which was consummated last
week, is an evidence of what is in
store for other camps in the county.
The Piermont will soon have a mill
in operation and will then give en-
ployment to a number of men.
The high price of tunsten ores
has already brought an era of pros
perity to the eastern portion of the
county. There are now three mills
operating on tungsten ores, another
building at Warm Springs, and a
fifth will soon be under way at VII
lard creek.
1t is known that there are large
deposits of antimonial ores in this
county, which now command a good
price in the market. The probable
tiles are that something will be do
ing in this line in the near future

COMMISSIONERS ARE USED
FOR LOCATION MONUMENTS

News of a rich strike of tungsten
ore about half a mile from Sodaville
was brought to Reno last night by
Lew Rogers, official court reporter
in Judge Moran's court, who was
called to Hawthorne to report a
mining case. Rogers says there was
a big rush to the district as soon as
news of the find leaked out. Bould-
ers with which to build location
monuments were scarce and one en-
thusiastic miner took all the tomb
stones out of the district cemetery
and used them for monuments. The
original strike was made by II of
the pioneer prospectors of the dis
trict and Rogers say he is on the
road to a fortune. Thirty-five men
are employed on the original strike
and there are many other men work
ing in the district.-GaZette.

Big Loss by Fire

The roundhOuse and machine
shops of the Nevada Short Line at
Nenzel were burned to the ground
recently by a fire which was started
from a gasoline explosion. The line
runs from the camp of Rochester to
Nenzel and A. A. Codd is president
of the road. The loss will be very
large as there was nothing saved
from the building and two locomo-
tive were destroyed, together with
two automobiles, as well as the ma
chinery in the shops.

THREATENED
IN COAST BASKETBALL
CONFERENCE AT SAN FRANCIS
co DEVELOPS AN INTER-
ESTING SITUATION

Representatives of seven of the
largest colleges of the Pacific coast
recently met in the Palace hotel at
San Francisco and arranged the
schedule for the coming basketball
season. The intercollegiate tour
ney will he played through the wan
ter and early spring months and
will occupy the space left void by the
closing of the football season. The
meeting was called in order that the
teams in the tourney might reach a
definite understanding in regard to
rules and other matters of a techni-
cal nature.
The meeting was not at all har-
mcnious and the threatened disrup-
ton of the conference is likely to
ONE to a head at any time. The
trouble is a result of the stand TAX
en- this year by the University OF
California in regard to the eligibil-
ity of freshmen to participate in the
varsity sports.
California will not permit her
competitors to play freshmen and
has a special agreement with Neva-
da whereby this state comes out
side Of the pale of the first wear
ruling, but it is with the other
members of the conference that the
rupture is likely to come. Santa
Clara and st. Mary's colleges also
added a bit of fuel to the fire by
refusing to play each other. 1t IS
possible that Nevada will head a
five-team league, in case the rupt-
ure comes to an open break.
Nevada has material on hand this
year Tor a championship team and
the outlook for the Blue and White
squad is brighter this year than It
has been at any time in the past.
This is assurance that the state unit
versity will be. a real contender FOR
first place hOnors, since Nevada
has for the past two years, held sec
ond place in the tourney and has
always been a leader in the indoor
game.
The Reno boys have no doubts
at all as to their college winning
the bunting this season. The sched-
ule for the Nevada team is a hard
fone, as the four outside games come
all together without a days rest be-
tween them, but despite this handi-
cap the prospects for Nevada are
most encouraging.

POTASH FROM COPPER TAILLNGs

A possible source of potash is sug-
gested by Director Smith of the geo
logical survey, in a statement point
ing out that the copper tailings OF
copper mines contain several times
as much potash as they do copper.
This potash however is locked up in
the form of silicate minerals. The
commercial extraction of potash from
silicates has been for several years
the subject of study by industrial
chemists.-Mining World.
