Justice Dunn will open the books for
registration of voters for the school
election to be held on Saturday, April
l. Voters may register at any time
up to Saturday evening of this week.
Thus far no candidates have filed
their nomination papers with the coun-
ty clerk for school trustee, but it IS
understood that Mrs. Mary G. Rose

Rose will have the support of great
majority of the new voters, as well as
that of the old, as she is a teacher of
experience and thoroughly qualified
for the position.
The law provides that nomination
papers must be filed with the county

the day of election. As this viii make
Sunday the last day, election day fol

W. P. WILL ENTER RENO
OVER TRA(KS OF MO-.

Two contemplated railroad projects,
one by which the Hill lines might en-
ter California and the Western Pacific
extend a feeder to Reno, New, were
disclosed in an argument before the
California state railroad commission
Yesterday. An attorney for the Neva-
da. California Oregon railroad said that
tentative overtures had been made by
the Hill lines for the use of the Ne
vada- California Oregon rails from
Lakeview, Ore, to Alturas, Cal. He
said the Hill interests had made sur
veys from Alturas through the Pitt
river canyon to Sacramento.
The Western Pacific, he is credited
with saying, wants the use of the
tracks of the Nevada California Ore
gon from Doyle, Cal, to Reno.
The Nevada-C California; Oregon asked
the state railroad commission for au-
thority to issue $4,000 in bonds to
cover the cost of extensions already
under way.
Where the Western Pacific and the
Hill lines are to use the Nevada Cali.
fornia- Oregon rails a new rail would
have to be laid to convert the road to
broad gauge.

INTERESTING RECORDS
OF CARSON COUNTY, UTAH

In recopying the records of Esmer-
aida county's portion of the records of
Carson county, Utah, several interest
ing documents have been unearthed by
County Recorder Johnson, says the
Goldfeld Tribune The whole of the
state of Nevada was portion of Utah
and this portion of the state was en-
braced in the boundaries of the Car
son county until Congress created the
territory of Nevada.
The last record in Esmeralda's S por
ton of the records of Carson county
was entered October 2, 1868. Septem-
Der 10, 1864, Orion Clemens, then sec
retary of the territory of Nevada, GER
titled to the authenticity of the por-
ton of the records of Carson county,
Utah, which were copied into the
books of the county of Esmeralda. On
the certificate is affixed fve-eent war
stamp.
One of the first documents recorded
in the books of Carson county for this
section of the state was power of
attorney issued by Brigham Young to
w. B. Smith and signed by men whose
names have since become famous
throughout the country. The power of
attorney was recorded April 20, 1857,
and was signed by 7. d. Brown, G. ID.
Grant and Abraham o. Smoot.
Following this bit of historical paper
comes another document pertaining TO
the head of the Mormon church, who
at that time was governor of the ter
ritory of Utah, Brigham Young. This
document is deed of trust entered
into April 20, 1857, between William
II. Hooper and Brigham Young of
Great Salt Lake City, as the metropolis
of Mormon Utah was then called.
The county record books abound in
interesting bits of information regard
ing historical characters who made the
West and have since become known
throughout the world Nevada was
admitted in the Union October 81,
1864, and was the twenty-third state
to be granted statehood. The Virginia
City district entered into the role of a
history maker just before the last rec
ord was recorded in the books of Car
son county, Utah.

RELIABLE TEST IN PROS
PECTING FOR MOLYBDENUM

In view of the rapidly increasing de-
mand for molybdenum ores, the Colo
RADIO School of Mines at Golden is con-
tinually receiving requests from pros
peetors and miners for reliable test
for molybdenum, says Mining and Sci
entifc Press. In response to such re-
quests the following test is suggested:
Pick out carefully the supposed mo-
lybdenum mineral, grind fine, and take
quantity equal to pea in size and
put it in glass test-tube with a speck
of paper 1882 of an inch square. Add
three drops of water and five drops of
concentrated sulphuric acid, and boil
slowly. If molybdenum is present the
solution will change to a dirty green
color when almost dry, and on cooling
will turn a beautiful ultramarine blue.
This color changes Immediately on the
addition of few drops of water to a
dirty gray. Care must be taken TO take
the pure molybdenum mineral, 10 boil
the exact quantities specified, aud to
bail slowly. Tests in the 'aboratp..es
of the school cf mines prove that this
method gives splendid results with the
n.clyhdcnum minerals.

Betty NANSfN IN FEATURE
FILM TOMORROW NIGHT

Betty Nansen, who is seen at the
Nixon opera house tomorrow evening
in the William Fox production of ''The
Song of Hate" powerful modern
photoplay based on Sardou's famed
"La Tosca,' is today a beautiful
queenly woman at the full height of
her marvellous dramatic powers. She is
slightly more than medium height with
a splendidly proportioned and serene
ly graceful figure. Her face is marvel
ously expressive, rejecting every pass
ing emotion as a smooth millpond re-
fleets the cloud shadows and wind rip
pies. Her forehead is that of the stu
dent and a keen intellectually radi-
ates from her every feature. Her lips
are mobile and her smile most infee-
tious; but the most extraordinary eff
feet she produces upon all who see her
is with her large, strangely moving
pearly gray eyes.
Her supply of tears seems mex
haustible. All she has to do is to think
of something sad and the pearly duets
open and the tears roll down her
cheeks like fresh rain On the contrary
when it is necessary for her to be
happy she is glad as a carefree child
playing in the bright May sunshine.
There is certainly no actress on the
stage today who can equal, or even ap-
proach Miss Nansen's marvellous yer
satility of passion. Off the stage, or
out of the studio she is very far from
the average person's idea of tragedi-
enne. She is always laughing and is
splendidly happy and extremely devot
ed to athletics Her favorite sport is
horseback riding and at her villa in
Copenhagen where she is leading wo-
man of the Royal theatre she main
tains stable of splendid thorough
breds which are known throughout
Europe as well as the actress herself

PAPER AND PRINTING
MATERIALS ADVANCE

The printing trade is being hard hit
by the advances in prices on materials
due to the European war. Hardly a
week passes without notice of some
advance. Last week the paper houses
gave notice that all previous price lists
were wholly cancelled, while the limo
type metal supply houses quoted a price
go per cent higher than those in force
eighteen months ago.
The paper makers say that paper
pulp has advanced 60 to 100 per cent;
alum, used in the process, costs $500
a hundred, as against the former price
of 81 cents; China clay costs double
what it did; eoloring matter more than
three times the former price, and so on
through the whole list of paper making
chemicals and materials.-Appeal.

NEVADA ALWAYS READY
TO SUPPLY NttDED MtTALS

A great old state is Nevada. just
when Austria was considering the
proposition to demohetize gold-it was
becoming so plentiful-Nevada made
known the fact that she had the big
gest silver mine in the world. But it
was not all silver, forty-four per cent
of its value was gold.
Then when the interest gatherers be
came alarmed lest men would pay
their debts and there would be no
chance to loan any more money-as
though that time could ever come
and schemed until they persuaded the
poor devils who vote, that half the
money in the world had better be de-
stroyed as money; it gave Nevada A
temporary black eye. But a little later
lead was needed and Nevada as usual
supplied much more lead than her full
quota amounted to.
Next copper was wanted and Nevada
promptly responded during all the days
when the thieves-about 1S9S-ran ii
up to 2s cents, and cleared s100000,000
then jumped upon it and broke it
down to 10 cents and cleared another
sl00000,000.
T'he next great demand was for goli
and in three years Nevada supplied
the world with more gold than eth ar
The Rand, West Australia, or Cripple
Geek during the same time.
When the present great war came
on, the first cry was 1or antimony and
Nevada promptly responded, sending
out more than any other state.
The next cry was for copper and #
it keeps up for two mere years, Ari-
2una, Utah and Montana will have tn
lock out or Nevada will rank either
of them.
The writer was tdll'ing YESTERDAY
with a scientist, wins is moreover a Sc
erely practical man, and he expressed
the belief that it was probable in the
coming year and half fer Nevada to
be producing more tungsten-the most
valuable of metals-than all of the
outside world combined.
What more treasure chambers Neva-
la has still to open cannot yet be
Imagined, but if demand for some
thing new is made, we suspect she will
find a way to produce it. She certainly
has been equal to the demand for fifty
six years past
Her treasures have made a leaven
which has been one of the chief fac
tors in the forward march of the bust
ness and financial world, and had not
the shortsighted knaves and fools de
monetized silver, our country would
not only been far better off, but would
now be dominating the Pacific and
Oriental trade.-Goodwin 3 Weekly.

as usual greatly enjoyed by all.
The l. o. o. F. lodge is planning on
giving dance and play in eelebra-
tion of their anniversary day, the goth
of April.
A dance a week and sometimes two.
The Boweryv dances seem to be the
most talked about by the men. Parents
should at least be careful. Young peo-
pie need their protection.
The road grader reached Paradise
Saturday afternoon. From all accounts
it seems to be doing the work.
Merle Prussia s auto truck makes
the trip to Winnemucca and return

A GOOD LAW FOR NEVADA ALSO

The state of Arizona has a law on
its statute books compelling all com
panies to publish their articles of in
corporation. It is mandatory that these
articles be printed in newspaper in
the district in which the company is
to operate. Such law is a protection
20 the investors. 1t is death to wild
eating. The mystery and secrecy sur
rounding so many Nevada corporations
and the attendant losses that have been
suffered by investors would have been
obviated if Nevada had such a stat.
ute. 1t is to be hoped that similar
'aw will be enacted at the next session
Of the Nevada legislature Bonanza.
