SENATORIAL CONTESTANTS
HELD TO PRIMARY LAW

June goth. and in reply / wish to
say that. contrary to the opinion
implied in your suggestion, 1 have
full confidence that the delegates
provided by law to be elected by
the people under the Australian
ballot system will honestly and in
good faith carry put the will of
the people. l personally favor a
simple, direct primary law. The
present primary law is admittedly
complex. The adoption of your
suggestion would needlessly COM
plicate it further and entail an
unnecessary expense and great adj
ditionaI labor upon both candi-
dates and election boards. i can
not SEE why we, the candidates
for n particular office, should
further complicate the matter by
asking for a special rule which III
granted to us, could not be denied
to candidates for any other of
flee, and which the law does not
recognize. The application to all
contests of the rule you suggest
would add complexity to the law
to the point of chaos. The re-
publican voters of the state would
probably be quite interested
to know why you seem to
hold the opinion that your
candidacy would not receive
fair consideration at the hands of
the delegates who are themselves
directly elected by the people. /
realize the necessity of following
the nominating procedure as laid
down in the existing law, and,
therefore, cannot adopt your sug-
gestion.
Sincerely yours,
A. H. HOWE.

HAS COPPER NINE
NEAR G%OODSpR|NGS
PROMOTER OF GREENWATER is
BUSY OPENING GROUND
OF PROMISE

Arthur KunZe, the man who first
promoted Greenwater, and who Sc
cured large capital for the ex-
ploitation of his prospects in that
camp from Charles M. Schwab,
Charles E.. Miller and other PEN
nsylvania steel magnates, spent
several days in G~oodsprings this
week purchasing supplies and hav-
ing repairs made to some Of his
machinery.
He has taken a bond from Gas
Hamstadt Of Barnwell on his En-
peror group, which adjoins he
old Copper World mine on Clark
Mountain. The property is rich
in copper deposits, and Mr.. KunAe
secured the bond from Mr.. Ham
stadt having persistently refused to
sell the property to any and all
applicants previously.
Mr.. Kunze tells some interesting
experiences connected with the ia
nous deal on Greanwaters, and
some inside history that has never
before been published. How he in
crested the big steel, crowd who
boosted the price of stock up to
$3.50 per share, the panic of 1907
that wiped his fortune clear off
the map at one blow, and the dou-
ble-cross administered to him by
his own associates, would tell a
story that would read like a novel.
But Kunze Is one Of the most
optimistic men in the world. He
Sc like his compatriots fighting
somewhere in Europe" If he's
licked, he don't know it. and A.
Kunze is on his way as he eX-
presses it, "to make another Green
water. and the next time / get
n I'll hold on to it.-Goodsprings

On June 29th Sam Plat addressed
communication in which he suggest
ed hat instead of having their con-
test for the senatorial nomination
decided in convention by delegates
chosen under the existing primary
law, that a separate ballot be hand
ed to each voter and that the candi-
date receiving the highest vote al
the polls be declared the nominee,
each candidate to share equally the
expense involved. This letter, &C
companied by Mr.. Platt's portrait,
was published in Mr.. Platt's news
paper, the Reno Evening Ga
zette, and copies sent. to other
newspapers. If Judge Noreross
has made reply it has not yet been
received. Mr.. Howe came home on
Sunday and found the Plat letter
awaiting him. His reply was mailed
yesterday. This morning he receiv-
ed from the district attorney of
White Pine county a communication
in the nature of a formal notice
served upon all candidates to the
effect that in that county, at least,
the election officers would be held
to a compliance with the law as it
stands and that the plan proposed
by Mr.. Plat would not be recog-
nized. Mr.. Zurich was elected as a
democrat.
Mr.. Jurich's rule conforms to the
position taken by the Tribune on
Monday, in which it was stated that
any legal voter could legally inter
rupt Mr.. Platt's plans of procedure
at any stage. The correspondence
and the notice from District Attor-
ney ZURICH follow:

District Attorneys Ruling

Office of District Attorney of
White Pine County, State of
Nevada.
Ely, Nevada. July /, 1916.
Hon. F. H. N~orcross,
Hon. Samuel Plat,
Mr.. A. H.. Howe.
Gentlemen:
My attention has been called to
the suggestion made by Mr.. Platt,
that the republican aspirants for
the nomination of United States
senator submit their candidacy to
an independent preferential pri-
mary.
| am not aware of any provision
of the statutes regulating and
governing primary elections and
the nomination of candidates for
office whereby the plans proposed
a be carried out legally.
1t appears to me that the sug-
gestion would entail considerable
additional work upon the officers
of election, and introduce compli-
cations into the coming primary
election not legally contemplated
and which might invalidate the
election.
I desire to inform you, there
fore, that l am going to instruct
the election officers of this coun-
ty to conduct the election as col
templated and governed by the
statutes, and to disregard any
agreement you gentlemen may en-
ter into in accordance with the
plan suggested by Mr.. Platt.
Further, l shall see that my in
structions in this regard are fol-
lowed by the election officers of
this county.
Respectfully.
(Signed) ANTHONY JURICH,
District Attorney in and for White
Pine County. State of Nevada.

BOY SCOUTS ARE
ONE OF FEATURES
LOCAL TROOP MAKES FINE APP
PEARANCE AT HEAD OF
PARADE

The GOldfield troop of boy scouts
led by Scout Master Fred C. Thorn
son., marched at the head of the
Fourth of July parade yesterday
and presented an appearance hat
was a credit to their organization.
They were followed by a veteran
of the G.. A. r. and a veteran of
the Spanish-American war, the
front of the parade t~ypifying three
stages of the military history Of
the United States. The aged sur
vivor of the war between the north
and the south, the younger veteran
of a war at a cost of life pitt
strength of the antagonist, a loss
from disease and lack of prepared
ness, and the boy scouts standing
as the emblem of a nation awakened
to a need of preparedness for a
time when this country, though a
p~eace-loving one, may see the hour
when the earth is full of anger
and the seas are dark with wrath,
and the nations in their harness
go up against our path"
The prize given the boys yester-
day was a small one, but repra-
scented the result of the first pub
lie appearance of the scouts since
their organization and was given
them by the judges, not only be-
L their appearance earned it,
but to encourage them in their
work.

Referendum Petition Discussed

If Nevada votes in favor of the
referendum petition now being cir
culated in the counties of the state,
it will remove from the statute
books all the N ti-gambling laws
passed by past legislatures and re-
turn the state to the wide-open
condition of pioneer times, accord
ing to an unofficial opinion by At
torney General Thatcher. He holds
that killing the amendment to the
gambling law will have the same
effect as tabling an amendment to
a bill in the legislature-it will
carry the entire subject matter of
the original act with it. Carson
attorneys who are in favor of the
referendum petition assert that
the attorney general is wrong in
his Interpretation of the effect of
the referendum.

COPPER CANYON
MINES WORKING
PROPERTIES FORMERLY OWN
ED BY GLASGOW & WEST
ERN BEING DEVELOPED

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, June 30.
With the return from the east of
F.. Sommer Schmidt, manager for
the new owners of the Glasgow &
Western copper mine in Copper
canyon, active work Of unwater-
ing the old producer has been COM
menced. MI. Schmidt bought two
5O-horsepower gasorine engines to
run the generator which will sup
PLY electric power for the pumps.
The water level is at 440 feet
in the shaft. which is 500 feet
deep. The last stopping was done
at the 47O-foot level, where the
Virgin vein, according to legend,
which has been substantiated by
Mr.. Schmidt, was large and rich in
copper 1t is related that the ore
shat was mined was transported by
teams to Sacramento and there
loaded on vessels and sem to
Swansea, Wales, via Cape Horn.
Transportation costs necessitated
that ore of high grade only be
fhipped and the mine is believed
to contain much ore of a grade
that the present high prices for
copper will make profitable.
1t is the deeper level, though
that Mr.. Schmidt depends upon for
the realization of a fortune. The
ore shoot raked out of the shaft
below the 47O-foot level and the
cross-cuts which were driven from
the $50 to $50 levels encountered
a flow of water too strong for the
light pumps then in use. This
was in 1881 and the mine has lain
idle since. The dumps contain sew
eral thousand tons of rejects which
the Glasgow e. Western, a Scottish
company, reserved, and which are
new being shipped.

LIVELY TIMES HAVE
CONE TO S0OAv|LLE
OLD TOWN Is BEING REBUILT
AS RESULT OF PROS
PERITY

SODAVILLE, June 30.-If n
II of the old desert rats of
southern Nevada should pass this
way six months hence he would not
know this old landmark. The
days of gold, the days of old"
have passed and King Tungsten
now holds sway, with his modern
improvements, electric lights, new
buildings and shade trees.
Sodaville was the center Of
much mining activity in the los
and '80s, a supply point II 4
rich mineral rec'"C end :ha site
OF old stamp mills of the tyre
evolved on the Comstock. For a
time it dropped from notice D"t
again took position in the spot
light as the junction point from
whence the pioneers set forth by
stage for Tonopah.
A year or more ago Charles e.
Noble found tungsten deposits a
dozen miles from town, which he
sold to Atkins, Knoll & Co. OF
San Francisco. The buyers leas-
ed the Press mill at Sodaville and
the Del Monte mill at Boris, near
Lining, and have concentrated a
product in these two plants worth
a princely fortune. Recently the
company purchased nearly all o.
Sodaville from Bob" Stewart and
w. J. Douglass, who have been iden-
titled with Sodaville since very
early days.
The tungsten property having de-
monstrated its value, the company
has begun the construction of Il
2OO-ton concentration here which is
being rushed to completion with
three shifts, the night force operat-
ing by electric light. The once
sleepy town has awakened aul
the streets are filled with working
men, ore teams and tractors. The
working force numbers 100 at
Sodaville at 220 men are employed
at the mines.
Nearly all the old buildings are
to be torn down and new, commod-
lcus cottages erected for the e
But this is not all. The old horel.
which has sheltered the great AID
the lowly for these many years, is
to go. 1t is to be replaced with
a modern cement building, AID
worst of all, there is to be no bar.
The barroom of the old hotel for
years has been one of the institu-
4..o, g CAIoxillo NvnnrJy ~ VS.
in the evening the patriarchial
form of Bob" Stewart with his
long white beard could be found in
the bar, conversing with a friend
or some stranger. The new hotel
minus the bar won't seem like
trees which the company is setting
out will be poor recompense or
that bar.
Mr.. Noble, who discovered the
tungsten deposits now owned by
Atkins. Knoll & Co, and who
thereby is indirectly responsible for
the sacrilege now being practicted
on ~Sodaville. has located other
tungsten deposits in the same To-
cality and with N. V. Spencer will
build a concentration neal the city
limits. Mr.. Spencer has already
purchased the machinery and con-
struction will start as 500 as it
arrives. Between the Noble-Spen-
Ger and Atkins-Kroll properties
Edward Wagner of Wheeling. w.
", owns 100 acres which he is
developing.

out that Boyd was commandant of
