Pendulum, clocks were invented
after Calico stood observing the

by the observation that pieces Of

be traced to the boy who sat

There is no more government

proved up recently. As . con-
sequence the secretary of state
will at once testify to the various
counties where government land
was formerly to be had by home
steaders, 1881 acres. which will
be added to the land subject to
taxation. This acreage is scat
tered over q number Of counties
iD Ozark regions. But two very
small pieces Of realty, one in
Nodaway and the other in Lin
coin county, are north CT the
Missouri river. This is the first
time since Missouri became al
part Of the United States that
there was not some government
land open to homssteaders or 10
purchase. The best land .wasI
taken up many years ago, but in
the Ozark regions there was al
ways some land, Of little or no|
value, subject to homestead. -

WHY NOT A MINING
EXHIBIT AT COUNTY FAIR7

THIS is u first county fair at the
Rodeo this ear. Provisions are be-
ing made for an exhibit of stock and
agricultural products.
But almost nothing has been said
as yet about having n mining exhibit.
We should not forget tina in times
past t!lko has been a great mining
county.
And there are those who believe
that the era of our mining develop
ment has just begun. The feeling is
in the air that we are on the eve of
a great mining boom.
Discoveries have been made that a
few years ago would have set the
country wild. Even so short Il time
ago as the discovery of Tonopah and
Goldfeld would have seer a stream of
people setting towards Elko county to
participate in the new finds.
The strikes that have been made at
Bullion, at Rock creek and at Lone
Mountain, though classed as yet only
as prospects. are enough t excite the
most conservative of mining men.
In the old days of Colorado these
discoveries would have started a STAN
pede. Even now if these ore bodies
had been uncovered in far away Alas
ka people would have struggled across
the snow barriers to found new min
ing camps.
But here in placid Elko with the
sagebrush plateau open as the day
these rich discoveries are taken as a
matter of course. The war has di-
verified attention for one thing. Farm
ers and stockmen are too prosperous
to engage in mining. Money is being
held In New York banks to buy Eu-
ropean bonds.
But 1t is a mistake to think peo-
pie have lost interest in mining. FL
ko d mes will yet come into their own.
ly enhanced in value. The prices of
lead, copper. zinc and antimony are
soaring.
Nevada is rich in all these metals
and we may confidently believe Elko
will yet be the banner mining county
Of the state as it is now in stock
raising.
However; this Is almost beside the
question of having a mining county
OF the state as II is now in stock rails.
ing.
However, this is almost beside the
question of having n mining exhibit
at the Rodeo in September. Let each
prospector and miner bring in his
samples and the thing is done. A stall
can be set aside for an exhibit room,
From Hicks mountain on the north
to Bald Mountain on the south the
miner and his samples will be well
come. Jarbidge, Bruneau. Rock Creek,
Gold Circle, Bullion, South Fork, Ruby
Valley, Contact, Tuscarora, Mountain
City, Van Duzer, White Rock, Aura,
Edgemont, Bull Run, Lone Mountain
and other camps can all send exhibits
Of ores that will sustain Nevada's rep,
utation as the gold medal winner at
the Panama Pacific exposition.
And there Is also our neal neigh,
bors at the Union Mines, Buckhorn
and Mineral Hill over in Eureka coun
ty. They need not feel barred. The
Rodeo and the county fair are open
to all Nevada.

CHI ENGINE
NEEDED IN ELkO.

1T WAS felt the county commission,
ers acting al a town board at their
recent session would take some action
looking toward the purchase of a
chemical engine for Elko.
Perhaps the board thought the de-
mand from the citizens of the town
was not strong enough to warrant the
investment at this time. The board
is ready to meet the wishes of the PEG,
pie but does not want to lead them.
When a chemical engine is purchas-
ed 1t should be a good one. We need
an auto engine, n of modern make.
This will cost several thousand dol.
