UNIVERSITY PROSPECTOR'S COURSE

The short course for prospectors
at the Mackay School of Mines, which
was successfully inauguated last year,
will hold its second session from Janu-
airy 80 to February 26, 1916. 1t is ex-
pected that the attendance of rs,
which was realized last year, will be
greatly exceeded this session, as in
quiries about the course are already
coming in from Nevada and neigh
Dor States. 1t seems worth while
to recall at this time some of the
words of resolution adopted by them
a, the conclusion of their work
The members of the 1915 pros
pectors' class, desire to acknowledge
the great value of the course of lee
lures delivered by Professors Lin
coin, Jones and Adams, Assistant Pro-
fessors Palmer and Campbell, Judge
Price and Drs Boyd and Frandsen
of the faculty of the University of
Nevada. and our sincere appreciation
for their generous and painstaking
efforts in our behalf"

estimable benefit to every man even

knowledged paramount industry of

The month of October is generally
a lean month in point of. dividend
payments of American mines and
works, yet al companies made dis
bursements during the month total
ing $7,6o1,o ,ol9 This does not include
coal mining nor the so-called indus
trials, nor does it include the secur-
ities-holding corporations owning
stock in American mines and works.
Added to the disbursements made in
the preceding nine months of 1915, ac-
cording to reports made to Mining &
Engineering World, dividends were
paid during the 10 months of 1915 to-
falling $78,058,034, with l20 companies
contributing Disbursements made
by these companies since incorpora-
ton total $o77, 7,837,832. The combined
issued capital of these companies is
$741, ,70l,2 ,255, a return of $3.50, l36,577
in excess of capital. The 1915 divi-
dends exceed those of 1914 by approx
mately $7,0O0,0OO
The coppers had a slightly better
l0-months' period in 1915 than in 1914
for 80 companies have dividend pay
ments to their credit in 1915 of $34,7
l0l .454 : as against $33.559, ,488 by Is
companies in 1914. Since incorpora-
ton those companies paying dividends
in 1915 have to their credit total dis
bursements of $488, 389, ,82o, which is
$2l5.639,377 in excess of issued cap

20 pumping plants are already in op-

ration, believing, as we do, that every
man who in future, avails himself Of

The work includes lectures on pros
pecting, assaying, mineralogy, geol-
ogy, chemistry. hygiene, sanitation,
and mining law, and laboratory work
in assaying, mineralogy. prive NOV
ers, and first aid to the injured. Pros
pective students should register in the
registrars Office in Morrill, Hall, on
the morning of Monday, January 81,
1916. They will be expected to pay a
fee of $5 to cover part of the expense
of supplying them with material for
laboratory work.
So far as it is available, room and
board at Lincoln Hall, the dormitory
for men students, may be secured at
cost of $40 per month. In town it
will cost from, $5 to $40 more than
this.
Certificates will be issued to those
students who satisfactorily complete

won distinction with their brethren
of the army. II is the gallant little
corps that has SO ably assisted in
fighting Americas battles in every
corner of the globe for more than a
century; its members are the first
men on the ground in case of trouble
with foreign power, and the first
men in battle in case of hostilities
They have at all times served their
country faithfully, both in peace and
war, and have reflected great credit
upon themselves as Corps and on
:he nation which they represent.
Ever have they lived up to the let
ter, as well as the spirit, of the motto
of the Corps, 'Scmper Fidelis," Ma
rines serve on both land and sea, but
are trained, clothed, and equipped very
much as are soldiers of the land
forces.
The military and naval services Of
the United States are divided into
.three separate and distinct branches,
the army with its duties on land, the
navy at sea, and the marine corps,
which serves both on land and sea.
The marine corps is separate organ
ization entirely, and is under the di-
rect supervision of the Secretary OF
the Navy, and usually serves with the
navy. In time of war or other public
necessity the President is empowered
to detach the marines for service with
the army.
There have been so many instances
where the press has confused the sew :,
eral services of the government, one
with another, it is hoped that we may
be given the opportunity at any time
to enlighten you on any point con-
cerning this subject which may not
be entirely clear.

Fish Lake Valley, about 65 miles
west of Goldfield. is one of the most
attractive valleys of the State from
the standpoint of irrigation and ag-
ricultural development possibilities. 1t
has an area of approximately 10000
acres. OF $4,000 acres more than is
provided for under the Carson Truck
ee project at Fallon, of the United
States reclamation service.
Just what the water resources OF
The valley are can be determined only
by an exhaustive survey and the gath
ering of data that will more complete
ly determine the amount OF rainfall
and the area of the watershed drain
ing into this valley and the depth at
which the water can be found for
pumping If we assume that even
40 per cent of the area could be sup
piled with water, the magnitude of the
possibilities OF the valley become at
once apperent One well drilled to
depth OF q feet and tested for period
nf AZ hours showed an undiminshed
flow of one second-foot. which would
be sufficient for the irrigation of 100
acres OF land
Lands in that valley already sup
piled with water have sold at varying
prices and while. OF course. there is no
fixed value prices have reached $1,000
per acre. The several ranches already
partially developed include the Oasis,
or Stewart ranch, Patterson Broth
ers, the Mill and the Chiatovich.
Probably not more than 1000 acres are
really developed in all.

of those who mislead by giving in
correct information is reprehensible to
the last degree:
Frequently in press dispatches We
note that marines are called sailors,
sailors are called marines, and some

However, may we invite your at
