EVIDENCE STRONG
AGAINST HOID-UP

The postal authorities are conf
lent they have sufficient evidence to
convict Ben Kuhl. Ed Beck and Will
liam McGray, the men arrested for
holding up the Jarbidge stage and
numbering the driver, says the
Humboldt Star. e.
1t is said that one Jarbidge saloon
keeper sustained a loss of about
$500 by the robbery of the mail.
One package which contained $500
in silver has not been located. This
package was being sent through the
registered mail to meet the payday
run on cash when checks are pre-
scented over the bar
Nearly $500 of this silver was
found under the bridge with the
bIoody overcoat, which the evidence
at the preliminary hearing OF the
accused men proved to belong to
Kuhl. Postal rules do not permit
of the acceptance of more than 800
in any one package for transmission
through the mails. As the whole
amount was in one parcel the party
to whom IL was directed can recover
from the government only the sum
of 800.

as the forest reserves at present are
not self-supporting and are a drain
on the national treasury.
In this connection, Secretary S.W
Mcclure of the National Woolgrow-
ers association, said: Considering
that sheep and wool have increased
in value during the past year or two,
a slight advance in the grazing rates
would not meet with any great op-
position, but ! do not believe that
those interested in the sheep and
wool industry will submit to any ex-
travagant Increase
The matter will be taken up at the
meeting of the association in Janu-
airy and, no doubt, some sort of pro-
test will he made.
Under congressional enactment
25 per ZEN of all national forest
receipts are paid to the several
states In which the forest reserves
Are located.

MINERAL DEPOSITS IN
EASTERN NEVADA

Twenty-Five mining districts in
eastern Navada are described in a
report recently issued by the U. s.
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior, as Bulletin GAS, Notes on
Nevada" by ]. NJ. Hill. These dis
tricts are widely scattered through
an area extending from the north
ern part of the State to the extreme
southern part, in southeastern
Clark County. Not much has here
tofore been known about the geo.
logic features Of the ore deposits in
these districts, because they are rela-
lively inaccessible or undeveloped.
Silver, lead, copper, and gold are
the principal valuable metals found
but tungsten and bismuth also are
known to occur. Many of the de-
posts we're found in the early sixties
when the rich oxidized ores we're
worked, but others have since been
discovered from time to time. val
liable ore bodies having been found
as recently as 1911.
According to this report most OF
the ore deposits occur in sedimen-
tary rocks that border intrustions
of GRANTEES or porphyries. Gold and
silver are found in Tertiary volcanic
rocks of other parts of Nevada, but
only one deposit of precious metal
a free-milling gold ore-has so far
been found in such rocks in this re
gion.
The report Is chiefly n record OF
facts. most of which are of local and
practical interest. II is intended as
a guide to those who wish to know
something OF the geologic occurren-
&C. character. and stage of mining
development of the ore deposits in
the districts examined
