HOW MEMBERSHIP OF
LEGISLATURE STANDS
NEW LAW OF APPOET1ONMENT
GIVES EACH COUNTY ONE
SENATOR

1t appears from an analysis 81
the new law governing Legislative
representation and reducing the
membership of the legislative
bodies of the state of Nevada, that
only four counties will have the
privilege of electing . state sena-
tor this year. The new law of ap'
rortionment provides for one sen
ator from each county.
All told there are Is holdover
senators representing ~ counties.
The people of the counties of Min
eral, Lyon, Nye and White Pine
will elect senators. OF the hold
over members of the senate there
are six democrats and m indn-
pendent and six republicans, so
that to control the senate the
democrats mus elect three merl-
bers and the republicans three.
The slash that was made by tho
last legislature in the aDportion-
mant of the members of both houses
will result in a bigger scramble
FOR fewer Jobs. The Legislature
was cut from Is members to As.

renator from eat ronrtv AMI 81

During the week the Tonopah
Belmont company tent to the mill
313S tons, the Tonopah Mining
1850 tons, the Tonopah Extension
1900 tons, the West End $40 tons,
the Jim Butler $50 tons, the Mid
way 1876 tons, the Halifax SO tons,
and the Montana Tonopafr a tons,
making the total production for the
week S454 tons, the estimated val
ue being $177,432. This valuation
is calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
The Tonopah Mining company
forwarded a shipment of 80 bars of
bullion, having an estimated valua-
ton of $4,000, to the smelters
on Monday, representing the clean
up for the two weeks preceding
that date. The value of the ship
ment is smaller than usual, but IS
accounted for by the fact that dur
ing the period mentioned the COM
ANY has been undertaking some en-
per.ments at the Desert Power &
Milling company plant at Millers,
in conse luence of which fewer
atamps were kept dropping and a
lesser tonnage than has ordinarily
been put through the mill was
treated.
1t is not to be anticipated that
this condition wilt be of long iu-
ration, but on the contrary, that
the reduction and treatment oper-
atoms will soon return to their
normal state. Unlike some COM
panies, which in the closing months
of their fiscal years, make stranu-
for the ostensible purpose of i'm
pressing the public with their
earning powers, but in truth and
rea .ity with the object of bringing
up the general average for the year,
the Tonopah Mining company con-
tinues to hold to it's policy of con
sentative development without over
looking n means of further in
creasing results.
In this connection it might be
well to call attention to the fact
that the estimates placed Upon
bullion shipments are always very'
low, and the returns, as clearly
Indicated ty the monthly and quar-
terly reports, are greatly in excess
of the figures quoted as the values
of the bi-weekly melts. For exam
pie, the last quarterly report. for
the period ending Nov. 80, 1915,
shows the gross value of the mill
products to be $456,309 while tn"
total value of the shipments for
the same period as estimated at the
time of shipment, is but $4,000,
a difference of nearly $4,000 or
about 20 per cent increase in act
ual returns over estimated values.
TonOpah Belmont
Shipments of unusually substah-
tial proportions have been made b.
the Tonopah Belmont Development
company from it's two plants. The
mill at Tonopah on Feb. 5 shipped
SO oars of bullion, weighing 107,-
642 ounces, of an estimated value
of ~$75,359.40 and SO dry tons OF
concentrates containing gold and
silver to the approximate value Of
about $10,35O, figuring the silver
contents at so cents an ounce.
On the same day, from the Mill
ers plant OF the company, there
was shipped 81 bars of bullion,
weighing 52,431 ounces, whose estl-
mated value is $~36,701.70, and
14.43 dry tons of concentrates, con
taining values to the extent of ap~
proximately $6975. The grand to-

BARRIERS Back to Old Prices.

The BARRIERS of West Union recent
ly agreed to raise their prices, and
did so, but one of their number fail
ed to fulfill his agreement, and con-
sequently they all went back to the
old price. West Union has four
shops. Out in Sioux City the BARRIERS
propose increasing the cost of a
shave from fifteen cents to twenty-five
cents, hair cuts from thirty-five to
fifty cents, with neck shaves and
mustache trimming extra. Increased
cost of razors and supplies on account
of the war is the reason given. But
if the war should happen to end in u
short time, wouldn't they hate to
drop back to the old prices, the live
and let live ones.

MEET AFTER FIFTY-ONE YEARS.
COmrade l.. L.. Caldwell in Florida
Meets Member of His Regiment
After Half Century Passes.

Comrade l.. l.. Caldwell, of DEBORAH,
who went to st. Cloud Florida a
short time ago to spend the winter,
met an old comrade there, whom ne
had not seen in fiftylone years. A
copy of the st. Cloud Tribune reaches
our desk with the following interest
ing article in:
when Comrades l.. l.. Caldwell OF
DEBORAH, Iowa, and Gus Highly, Of
Aurora, Mo-, arrived in the Wonder
City, they never dreamed they would
be greeted by comrades of the sixties
that had fought side by side and lived
as neighbors before the conflict, but
this is what happened when these two
veterans registered at the Farris Ho-
tel last week for their winter sojourn
Comrade Caldwell was first lieuten-
ant in Co. B. Second n. Y. Vet. Cav
airy, and is eighty years of age, but
looks only half that age, while Com
rade Highly was first lieutenant II
Company E. of the same regiment,
and is seventy-eight years of age but
looks much younger. They were
comrades for two years and seven
months. Just at the close of the war
Mr.. Highly went West and nevcr
greeted Comrada Caldwell until the
meeting here few days ago. They
are delighted to be comrades once
more in such a splendid place to live
and will remain with us probably
permanently. tt ey, of course, have
had much to talk about, for Lots Of
things can happen in fiftylone years,
but that's just how many tines they
must tell about to get their paths
running alongside once more.
Comrade Caldwell is one of only
three members of the roll of honor in
the state of Iowa, and has been hon
ored by congress with a handsome
medal for his gallant service"

Ford Car as Security on Eggs,

If we were not harnessed I'D in
the newspaper business with all we
can do and more too, after reading
the last Ozona Stockman, we would
secure basket or two of good lay
ing pullets and pull for Texas. The
following VIII explain why we'd get a
hustle on us.
"A ranchman brought a half doz-
en- fresh eggs to town this week, but
had to carry them back home again.
He demanded all cash down. One
man said he would pay part cash and
the balance in sixty days, with a new
Ford touring car as security; but
the ranchman said who could tell but
he might have to take the Ford. A
few moneyed men talked of organic
ing syndicate and buying the eggs,
but this plan was reluctantly aban-
doned The owner of the eggs hired
strong armed guard to return home
with him and the treasure"

Held a Gravel Day.

In Algona they had a gravel day
recently which resulted in the plac,
ing Of 800 loads of gravel on certain
roads running out of that city. For
ty farmers donated the use of their
teams and many more joined the
business men of the city in shoveling
and spreading the gravel Such days
are on the whole very sensible There
is room for much more voluntary
work on the roads and it is much
wiser than issuing bonds to build
them. In this county, for instance,
a thousand farmers could we'll afford
to give few days use of their teams
and wagons and men in the cities and
towns could well afford to donate Il
few days work. 1t would make
lot of difference in the roads.

Gifts That Count.

We often hesitate to make gifts to
our friends because we are not able
to make expensive ones. We say,
They have everything. There is
nothing | can give which will add to
their happiness. We forget that it
is often the smallest token, charged
with the spirit of real love, that
most deeply impresses us. Jesus
said of the widow that her small gift
was more than the total of all the
others.
In our camp in the country, among
the hills of Pennsylvania, just across
the road lives a farmer whose fine,
generous+hearted wife has only once
in her life been to New York, AMI
whose advantages of education or
whose means would seem to make
the value Of her gifts almost useless.
Yet we have seldom been more deep
ly impressed with the love behind
gift than when, on baking days,
some one OF the numerous little
brood is seen coming down the path
with platter of cookies or of fresh,
crisp doughnuts, and with a shy lit
tie remark: Mother sent you these
with her love"
AS the ministry Of Christ could be
summarized under the word "giv-
ing" so the deep and abiding i'm
preston of most Of our lives de-
Ponds upon what and how we render
our gifts to others. The important
question is: DO we give ourselves
with our gift? "-The Christian Her

CHAPTER XIV.

"There Is No Law for a Genius"
March came in like a lamb with
delicate weather. crystal clear and
opal bright, and with 1t came Miss
Ordway. Sandry was glad to. see her.
but the critical point was at hand and
he scarce took time to eat or sleep
from the great work Of the contract
The mammoth raft was ready, the
largest. according to Daily. that the
camp had ever sent out in all it's life.
and special boat from the Portland
Mills company would lay off Yaquina
to receive it on the sixteenth.
On the night of the second. Daily
caught glimmer of white on the lin
tel. 1t was a paper. stuck in with a
thumb-tack.
Watch your raft" it said, "for pow
der"
That was all. and It was unsigned.
Daily told Sandry Of the incident and
showed the warning.
So for the remaining nights the
great raft was lighted from end to
end and tour of the Indians patrolled
IL n shifts, armed with rifles and un-
das orders to shoot at the first sign of
trouble.
The work went forward rapidly. The
Siwsshes, born and raised in the tim
Der r~untry, knew all the work of the
camp and they needed no driving.
Thee were a godsend to Sandry In
the nFegsing DAVIS and he came to look
upon them with a wide tolerance.
