SIX NEW WESTERN
PACIFIC DIRECTORS

After eonferring with the receivers
of the Western Pacific railway and APP
pointing six new directors for the com
pany, Benjamin f. Bush, president Of
the Missouri Pacific and its allied
lines, accompanied by Vice President
+ l.. Brown, departed Thursday night
for the East, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The new directors are:
Perry Evans, Ray h. Barrows, Ar
thur l.. Dahl, Thomas K. Palmer, Chas.
i. Craig, and W. 6. Bruen The other
directors are: b. f. Bush, f. l.. Brown,
George j. Gould, Kingdom Gould, Il. T..
Jeffery, Charles w. Slack and E. l..
Marston.
The directors residing on this coast
who resigned were Warren Olney Jr.,
G. M. Levey, Charles Elsey and J. F..
Evans. 0lney resigned when he was
appointed to act as one of the re-
ceivers of the Western Pacific. The
other directorate designations were
made in order that the stock and bond
holders might have representation on
the board by men who were not EN-
ployes of the company.

Local Legislation

Bills providing for the county high
school and Winnemueca grammar
school were enacted. The high school
win have at it's disposal the sum Of
$4,000 with which to purchase a
site and erect a new building, or en-
large its present quarters, at the op-
tion Of the county commissioners. In
case new school building is decided
upon the present building may be sold
to the grammar school for $4,000. In
case the high school building is en-
larged, the $4,000 will be available
for enlarging the present grammar
school. As all the school officials ex-
press themselves in favor of purchas-
ing a site and erecting new high
school building, that viii probably be
done.
a law was passed fixing the salary
OF the deputy county recorder at $500
per year.
1t is understood that the bill re-
ducing the salaries of justices of the
peace in the county was killed by the
Humboldt county delegation.

ALUMINIUM RARELY
FOUND IN NEVADA

The price of aluminium is higher
than that of copper, being 19Hc per
pound instead of 14hc, so it is per-
haps natural that the prospector should
think that 5 per cent of aluminium in
rock would make it valuable as an
aluminium ore. As matter of fact,
however, aluminium is the commonest
metal in the world and is present in
the average rock to an extent of 7.S4
per cent. It is apparent from this that
If ore containing per cent of aluml
mum were of value for the extraction
Of aluminium, most of the rocks on the
earth IS surface would constitute alu-
minum ores.
The high value of aluminium is not
due to a scarcity of that metal, but
due to the difficulty of extraction. Or
rinary clay contains a high percentage,
ranging from per cent in sandy
brick clay to 1913 per cent in the pure
clay mineral, kaolinite. But, although
methods exist of extracting aluminium
from clay, the cost of such extraction
is so high as to be at present prohib-
tive, although there is strong pos
sibility that some recent methods may
prove cheaper and become of CONNER
cial Importance. The minerals which
are in use for the extraction of alu.
minum at the present time and the
percentage of the metal which they
contain are as follows:
Corundum - A1(2)O(3) oxide OF
aluminium, 53.3 per cent aluminium.
Cryolite - A1F(3)3NaF - fiuoride
Of aluminium and sodium-12.S per cent
aluminium.
Bauxite = A1(2)O(OH)4 - hydrat
ed aluminium oxide-39.13 per cent
aluminium.
Gibbsite - A1(oH)3 - hydrated
aluminium oxide; 34.6 per cent alumi
num-
OF these ores corundum is so rare
and so hard that it is more valuable
as an abrasive than for its aluminium
content Before the discovery of baux
ite, eryolite from Greenland was the
chief source of aluminium. Bauxite was
discovered in Baux, France, but has
since been found in large quantities
in the United States. 1t occurs in
Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee and New
Mexico. Small amounts of gibbsitt
are sometimes associated with it
Commercial bauxite contains from q
to "a per cent metallic aluminium. Al
is used not only for the extraction OF
aluimnum, but also for the manufae
ture of aluminium salts, of alundun
Cor artificial corundum), and of baux
ite brick (which are used as the lining
os basic open hearth steel furnaces)
Bauxite has never been found in thf
state of Nevada
The production of bauxite in the
United States in 1913 was 210,2i1
long tons, vaued at $997 ,59S, so that
the average price per ton was $4.75
1t is therefore apparent that even if
high grade bauxite were discovered in
Nevada, it would not pay to mine and
ship it, although if extensive deposits
were found it might possibly pay to
erect an aluminium smelter in their
vicinity In other words, Nevada pros
pectors should not spend time search
ing for aluminium ores, because there
is very little probability that even if
found they could be made of any com
mercial value.

COYOTES AT SIS PER
MORE VALUABLE DEAD

Coyotes at five dollars head prom
ise to make the erstwhile sport of
hunting the varmint a irst-class pay
ing profession since the senate passed
tho assembly bill offering larger boun-
ties on noxious animals. The bill
passed IA to 6. Senator Keddie said
it was the purpose of the bin to en-

other noxious animals that they might
be exterminated as a class.
The stockmen and sheepmen will pay
a considerable part of the bounty, but
the state appropriates $4,000 as its
share in the work.

FIRST RACE MEETING
AT RENO IN JULY

After an all-day meeting Thursday
the Nevada state racing commission
fixed July as the time for the first race
meet and Reno as the place. 1t will
follow the Denver meet, which will
close on July 5, and will precede the
Panama Pacific Exposition meet, which
will open August 1, says the Gazette.
C. T. Boots, of Franktown, was
made chairman of the board; w. H.
Moffat was made vice chairman and
Louis Henderson was made treasurer.
David Staunton, who is secretary of
the Nevada Cattle Owners association,
was named as secretary.
Reno was named as the headquarters
of the racing commission and the rules
of the Kentucky state racing commits
sion were adopted for race meets, ex-
cept that horses will be allowed to
compete in races even though not reg
istered thoroughbreds, provided the
owner produces satisfactory sworn
affidavit for the Identification of the
horse. Also, it was decided not to per-
NIT the racing of two-year- r-olds before
May l of each year.
1t is explained that the rule in re-
gard to thoroughbreds was changed be-
cause. since racing has been neglected
in Nevada and California, and regis
tration of many of the thoroughbreds
raised in California and Nevada may
likewise have been neglected, it was
desired to permit the unregistered
thoroughbreds to compete in races.
Rules for the races are to be pub
lished later so that they may conform
to the rules adopted in other states.
Bylaws modelled after the Kentucky
bylaws were adopted. They provide
for the licensing of racing associations
in the state, according to prescribed
farrn

ANTI-SHIPPING LIQUOR
BILL BECOMES A LAW

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 9.-Deliv-
cry of more than one quart of whis-
key or other Intoxicating liquor to
any one person in Alabama will be
prohibited after June 30 under the
benson anti-shipping bill which be-
came effective today. The measure be-
came law automatically, having re-
mained unsigned by Governor Hen
derson for seven days after its pas
sage by the legislature. The law
directs transportation companies not
to make liquor deliveries oftener than
once month.
A bill which would prohibit news
papers in Alabama from publishing
liquor advertisements was returned
to the legislature with the COVER
nor's veto. 1t has been made the
special order Of business Wednesda,
when an effort probably will be made
to override the veto. The state
wide prohibition bill recently was
passed over Governor Henderson's
