NEW DISCOVERIES NEAR
THE MGIIL SMELTER

The discovery of extensive zinc
deposits over field from one and a
half miles wide to three miles in
length, in what has heretofore been
considered as lead district almost
adjoining the big smelling plant at
McGill lis matter of great import
ance not only in White Pine county,
but to the entire state of Nevada as
we'll The district has been worked
for it's lead more or less contin-
uously for the past 25 or 80 years,
but owing to the very low price OF
lead the operators were only par
TALLY successful During these years
there has been considerable am
cunt of work done on various prop
critics and shipments of lead, carry
ing small silver values have been
made running as high as 80 per
cent
Recently Henry Goodman of
Goodman Brothers of McGill, who
has had considerable mining ex-
perience discovered that some of
these properties carried zinc ore. He
| then secured lease on property
owned by Charles Holmes of Nc
! Gill, after which he induced Mr..
Buckley of Eureka, Utah to become
associated with him in the enter
prise Mr. Buckley was the first
the man to ship zinc from the mines
of Tintic, and is therefore familiar
with zinc ores and after an examin-
alton of the property and district
gave it as his opinion that the dis
trct would develop into an exten-
sive producer of zinc
j. F. Brim, who was formerly the
owner of a number Of propertiei
in the district and who is still large
ly interested there, was a caller at
the Record Office during the week,
anu SlOWeu d DuuCll VI ASSAY CSItii-
icates, probably twenty in number,
which gave values in zinc ranging
from 16 to 35 per cent. Mr.. Brim
states that he had long known zint
= was associated with his ores to some
extent but as it was always consid
cred as a detriment to lead ores, h
paid but little attention to it. Th'
ore occurs in an oxidiZed form ant
was therefore not recognized by west
ern mining men who were not fam
iliar with zinc. The miners were no
. lookingfi for zinc, and did not kno,
it when they saw it, neither did the
= want to find it, as it penalized thei
= shipments. But all this has mo-
;, changed, for one pound of zinc
= worth almost two pounds OF Leaf
. hence they are now searching fC
zinc instead.-Ely Record.

cavalry in the forces they intend to
send to that country. and that at the
present time they were finding it
more difficult to secure cavalrymen
than infantrymen
After the matter had been debated
from all angles the governor caused
the following message to be sent to
the war department:
Carson City New, June 10, 1916.

lary of War, Washington, D. C.
In event that the organized
militia of the country cannot proviGe
sufficient cavalry unit for service

EMMETT D. BOYLE,
Governor
Active work i 10 be commenced
q once in recruiting and the namcs
i number of prominent men in tre
various cities and towns of the state
were selected and they will be ask
ed to lend their assistance to the
effort to enlist the volunteers. In
addition to the signature blanks that
are to be sent to the recruiting
agents througout the state, there
will also be sent blanks for those
who are desirous of enlisting in a
state militia, the organization OF
which will be commenced immedi.
ately
According to the militia laws OF
the state the governor is the com
mander-in-chief of the organization
and as such shall have power Il
call out the militia to execute tn,
/ laws Of the state or to suppress in
surrection or to repel invasion. l
is the opinion of the governor an,
the other members who were pres
ent at the meeting yesterday tha
the state militia should not be use
for internal disturbances, such a
strikes, etc, and that the Nevad
State Police are amply able to tax
care of all such matters. The gov
ernor, therefor, in his letter to tn
various registering agents, ha
stated that he is opposed to calm
the militia out for any police sci
vice within the state.

ground since 1898, until recently.
Since the first of April last work
has been in progress and develop
ment has revealed some extensive
bodies of ore. Eight cars shipped
recently gave net smelter returns Of
about $4,000.
A shaft has been sunk to a depth
of 125 feet, all in ore from the sur
face; tunnel run 400 feet to inter-
cept the tunnel, practically in ore
the entire distance.
Sup't James Quirk of the Prince
Con. company, who made an in
spection of the mine last week, es-
Inmates that 100 cars of ore can be
taken out between the tunnel
and top of the shaft.
The vein can be traced across
the mountain and on the opposite
side, 1900 feet away, there is a
fine showing of ore right at the
grass roots. The Hamburg looks
like coming big producer.

Immediately on receipt of the

a message to Lieutenant-Gov
Morris j. Sullivan, acknowledgement
OF the state, to come to Carson City
Immediately for conference relative

posed the conference that it would
be possible to take steps at this time
for the organization of a state mill

able discussion, it was decided woult
reuire more time than to call 70,

Captain Applewaite gave as hi
his opinion, based on previous ex

troops, that there would be no trouh
le at this time to raise force 0
cavalry consisting of two squadrons
which would amount to $50 mer
and also one machine gun trooI
which would bring the total up t
$40 men from this state. He state
that there are many available me

GAMBLING INDICTMENTS
KNOCKED OUT AT VEGAS

The days of tedious work of the
grand jury was nullifed in a very
few moments Tuesday morning when
attorneys representing three of the
defendants succeeded in quashing
the true bills and having the indict-
tmens against their clients dismissed.
The other defendants failed to en-
ploy counsel to take advantage of the
technical errors, plead not guilty to
the charge and their cases will go
TO trial, being set for the Septem-
ber term of court.
The first case to come up was that
Of @. d. Hicks, manager of the firm
Rof o. d. Hicks e Co., who had re-
tanned the firm of McNamee & Nc
nance as counsel. Counsel moved
that the Indictment be dismissed on
the ground that it did not conform
to the provisions of the statute III
that the names of all the witnesses
examined were not included in the
itrue bill The provisions of the law
being clear in this respect, there was
no alternative for the court and the
case was dismissed Richard Busieed
representing Fred j. Pearce and EG
Van made the same defense in be
half of his clients and the cases
against these two defendants were
also dismissed
It is understood that the other
upon arraignment, objected to the
fees demanded by the attorneys to
take the cases into court and decided
to take their own chances, in con-
sequence of which they will be in an
uncertain frame of mind for many
months yet.
The responsibility for the faulty
indictments is not just clear 1t is
stated that the district attorney used
the names of witnesses as handed to
him by the grand jury, taking it for
granted that the lists were com
plete, and that the grand jury, not
being technically versed in the law
thought that the witnesses whose
testimony formed the basis of the
indictment were sufficient for the
purpose. 1t appears that the names
of all witnesses examined must bt
stated in the true bill in order t.
protect the rights of the defendan
as well as those of the state.
While the other defendants hav
lost their rights to demur to the in
dictments, there is possibility tha
, they may be able to escape tI.al b
, some other technical move. In an
: event, the fact that three of Z, g &c
, PENDANTS have been dismissed unde
the same sort OF in iictments woul
> the same sort of indictments wJul
be very likely to have considerabl
0 influence wi. the jury.

How Days Grow Short

A subject of frequent remark about this time of the year is that the days are growing visibly longer. It is a curious fact, to which many people nay no attention, that the shortening of the days is not accomplished by cutting equal lengths off both ends. The latest sunrise, last December, for instance, did not come on the shortest day. which was December 21. It came on the final day of the year. Look up the hours of sunrise in your almanac and you will see that on December Zl the sun rose at 7:26 a. m. and on the 22nd and for the two days thereafter at 7:27. and on the three following days one minute later, and on the 3lst the last day of the year--at 7:oO. It continued rising at 7:30 until the 11th of January, on which day 1t rose at 7:29. Friday, the 14th, it rose at TIPS, And on the last day of the pre- sent month at 7:16. But during the il days from December 31 to January 10. while the sun was rising at the same time, he was setting later and later. On the 31st of December he set at 4:36 D. m. and on the 10th of Janu- ary at 4.46. On the last day of this month he will set at 5:12. It is no wonder that even a slight lengthening of the day is noticed when for long series of days together it all comes at the latter end of the day.--Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

COUNTY TREASURER
 WANTS DELINQUENT TAXES

Several days ago the question was put up to the state tax commission by County Treasurer S. S. Acker, of Flagstaff, as to whether any penalty for delinquency should be charged on taxes not paid within the prescribed time limit as the semi-annual pay ments.
 In passing on the matter the tax commission has decided that the pen alty is legal and shall be assessed, and in replying to Mir. Acker, wrote as follows:
 "* E < Regarding penalties on first installments of delinquent taxes, it is the opinion of this commission that the county treasurer shall collect four per cent. on all taxes delinquent on the first Monday in November and interest from the time of delinquency at the rate of ten per cent. per an- mum until paid.
 However, the fees of fifteen cents for each tract of land or town lot sep arately assessed to be taxed as costs shall be collected only on such as ap- pears in the back tax book which shall be collected only on such as after the last day of June"
 Another problem that has con fronted number of the county treas urers is substantially as follows: If at any time a man pays his personal taxes the rate of taxation is some what higher than it was at the time valuation was made of his property, should the man be made to pay the higher figure, or be charged with a valuation similar to the one made at the time his property was assessed: or on the other hand, if the valuation at tax-paying time is slightly lower biiau " was Niltu lilC NdludIlOli was first made, should the taxpayer be rebated the difference.
 The commission has ruled that in cases where the rate has increased since the time of taking the valuation the state is not entitled to collect the tax at the current valuation but must be satisfied with taxing the man at the old rate.
 If, however, the rates of taxation have been reduced the taxpayer is entitled to the privilege of paying his taxes at the original or lower figure, and must be rebated to make up what ever difference there is between the original assessment and the curretn one.-Ex.
