CANDIDATES MUST FILE
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS

Attorney General Thatcher has
rendered another important opinion
regarding the election law of the
State The impression seems to have
become general that the law passed
i'll 1915, had repealed the law requir-
ing candidates TO file verified and
itemized accounts of the expenses OF
the campaign. The attorney general
holds that the law still stands and
gives it as his opinion that all can
didates should file their expense ac-
count not less than five days before
the general election and then file an
other expense account not more than
fifteen days after the election. These
accounts should be verified by the
candidate. The penalties for neglect
ing this formality, are severe, one OF
them being fine amounting to TWEEN
ty-fve dollars for each day on which
the neglect. continues. Candidates
should not forget this duty. While
it may seem a needless inconvenience
il is safer to comply with the law,
and may save greater trouble and
annoyance.

NEVADA STATE DAIRYMEN FORMING
BUTTER TESTING ASSOCIATIONS

Associations for the improvement OF
dairy cows, which are SO plentiful in
other States, are rare thing in Ne
vada. Last year the farmers of Car.
son valley formed cow testing as
soclatlon and as a result of the re-
cords, disposed of 80 COWS out of zoe
as not being worth keeping. Some
of these cows were butchered and
some were bought by the butcher il
neighboring valleys where no testing
association cxi"ted. But at any
rate Carson valley is we'll rid O
about 50 cows that little more than
paid for their feed.
Attempts have been made, in other
Nevada valleys to form COW testing
associations. but as a rule, the dairy
men have preferred to continue in
bllssful ignorance of the poor produe-
ers in their dairy. Some, indeed have
said that if they disposed of any OF
their cows they would not have
enough work for the mixer, so il
order to furnish work they keer
several profitless cows. How much
more charitable it would be to give
the man the amount of his wages anf
stop feeding the cows at loss.
But after another valley is wakinf
to the needs of the dairy interests
The Truckee-Carson project is fas-
becoming a close rival to Carson val.

OPPOSES SHERIFF'S
INSURANCE

A fight has been started in the
supreme court of California, to cvadC
the payment >&f S5,9ll to the widow
of the late SheriS James Dolan, whc
was murdered whle attempting tC
arrest, single-handed,> two murder
Gus Mexicans in Mono county in July
1915. This sum was awarded he
by the industrial accident commits
sion of that State.
Through its district attorney, Q
T. Hawkes., Mono County asks tha
the law creating the California com
mission be declared unconstitutional
The action will be of interest to Ne
vada because the Nevada industria
insurance act is similar to the Cali
fornia act. Two other issues ais
are raised-is the sheriff an en-
ploye of the County within the mean
ing of the Legislative act; What i

when up against loaded rifles.
The commission award on S5'9l
to Sheriff's Dolan's widow was ac
companied by finding that two
Mexican bandits attacked and threat
ened ranches in July, last year, tha'
a call for Sheriff Dolan to "com
and get them" finally reached him
soon after midnight, that he kissed
his wife goodbye. climbed into f;
motor car and disappeared to do hi
duty-and never returned alive, His
chauffer testified he was shot by til,
bandits. Mono County asks for ;
writ of review on four grounds. Tha'
a sheriff is not an employee; that
when Sheriff Dolan went to his deatl
he was acting outside of his duties
as sheriff, that the evidence failed tc
show he was attempting to make ar
arrest, that the workmens compensa
tion act is unconstitutional in tina
It imposes upon the State industria

produced and this year wide awake
bunch of farmers have organized a
COW testing association with men,
bership of u men, furnishing 600
cows to>b tested. The present at
titude of these men is for permanency.
They know that the Cow Testing As
sociation is not merely a means of
showing up the poor producer. They
know that the association, if made the
most of will assist its members in
better dairy methods, will stimulate
interests in the dairy industry and will
advertise the valley as the home of
wide awake farmers.
In order to bring about these desir-
able results the association must be
permanent This does not mean that
the same cows are necessarily tested
over and over, year after year. Some
of the cows will show definitely in one
year that they are valueless as butter
fat producers, others will show beyond
doubt that they are of high value as
dairy animals. There will be large
number which need a second and pos
sibly third year determine their
value and there are always new cows
freshening to take the place of those
which are called out.
Some of the members will think that
one year gives them all the informa-
ton they need but we hope enough
new members will want to come in
each year to keep the thing going.
then the third and fourth year will
see the old members again coming
back. In this way the association
will gradually spread its influence
over the whole valley and when this
State becomes a seller of dairy cows
! instead of buyer as it is now, the
valley with the permanent Cow Test
ing Association will get from 10 to
20 per cent more for the stock sold
than will the neighboring valleys
which have maintained the time hon
ored custom of milking old Bossy
merely because she produces a cali
and to give the mixer something to
do. +

OLD ARTESIAN WELL NEAR
SAND SPRINGS NOW OPEN

Several years ago a few wells were
bored in various sections OF Nevada
to prospect for an artesian Mater
supply, among them being one on
Seven Mile Flat, about 25 miles cas-
of Fallon on the Lincoln Highway
Not being properly protected this
particular we'll became blocked and
covered deep with sand 1t is sait
the well is 800 feet deep and the
quality of water was pure and pal
atable.
Recently the Savage Tire Company
has undertaken certain improvements
to the highway in this section and
employed w. X. Maull, the veteran
prospector to investigate the water
supply possibilities, and take the
necessary steps to secure it. A few
days ago, while digging at a likely
spot a board was encountered at 9
depth of about three feet, and fur,
ther probing uncovered the casing
of the long inactive we'll above re
ferred to. A little excavation un-
earthed the mouth of the bore anC
the water flowed freely into the shall
low pit dug about it. So the ques
tion of a water supply is settled, Sc
far as the capacity of this one wei
can solve the problem, and the deptl
necessary to secure more if needed
is defined. Men and teams are now
on the ground to begin work on the
highway improvement

CLAIM PURCHASED FOR $780,
600, NETTING BIG RETURNS

Forbes Richard, upon whose report
the II. NJ. Byllesby Company of Chi
cago purchased the Ragged Top tung-
sten property several months ago for
$250,000 when the deepest workings
were but 10 feet from the surface was
in Reno and stated that the mine Is
developing a great tonnage OF tung-
stem and that the companys concen-
TRAITOR at Toulon will be completed
and in operation early in November.
The Ragged Top property hold
the record for a quick sale at big
price with practically no ore develop
ed Mr. Richard staked his profes-
sional reputation on the outcome and
the daring session of one of the larg-
est and most valuable tungsten min
es in the West. The first action Of
the II. M. Byllesby Company after
the papers were signed was to send
and give orders to develop. A big
$4,000 by wire to Lovelock bank
acre was opened and now exposes
glory-hole covering one-fourth OF ar
50-foot face of ore. The Byllesby
Company shipped 1000 tons of ore to
the Utah Minerals Separation Com
at Eureka, Utah, which yielded a o.
per cent concentrate. The experience
gained in milling this ore guided the
company's metallurgist in devisinf
the mill that is now being construct
ed. The plant, which will have capa-
city of Is tons per day, is mode
of its kind and will turn out high
grade concentrate free from impuri-
ties.

On Monday February 7, 1916, ii
continuing his knock of Nevada Sena,
tor Pittman described the ''undesir.
ability of that land" saying. From
personal knowledge Of the State
know it is fact that all the known
supply of water has been tak en- up and
is now held and owned and the lane
that is left which is subject to selec-
ton, is simply arid land without any
known water supply"
This is the land which Senator Pitt
man would take out of the public do
main and infict on unsophlsticated
settlers, according to the bill or tc
be added to the estates of presen
large holders, as popularity believed
In one speech he decries the farming
possibilities Of Nevada and in an
other extols Nevada as a land of fer
tility, sunshine and opulent soil ever
comprising a semi-tropical zone where
pomegranates, figs and olives may b.
cultivated. Like a fash of lightning
he destroys the beautiful fabric of
new Nevada by telling the world tha
this State is the outcast common
wealth bristling with repellant fea
lures, an area OF desert and unrespon;
i've land, where settlers will venture
only on the penalty OF failure.
Which OF the foregoing statement
is the more acceptable or the NOR,
probableo
Every Nevada voter knows the in
terests are backing the 100000
acre land bill. If any one is skepti.
cal take the other side. That is thr
argument of Sam Platt who is NAL
ing his campaign on the principle tha
the bulk of Nevada acreage may b
reclaimed by Government aid and tha
without government aid nothing ca
be trusted to private corporation
whose chief interest is in keeping on
settlers.
Fifty per cent OF this government
land can be reclaimed through gov
ernment aid This course is perfect
. " feasible. according to Senator New
lands who says the Reclamation Ser
vice is planning to Concentrate its
energies in four States, one of which
is Nevada. For the past ten years
Senator New1ands says, the none,
and energies of the Reclamation Bur
eau have been dissipated over fiftee1
States, but beginning with 1917, the
Reclamation Service will come close;
to the people of Nevada. Throug
experience and greater efficiency
engineers say, the cost of waterin
the arid lands will not exceed 80 pc
cent of the cost of the Carson
Truckee Recalamtion project.
The new Elephant Butte dedicat
ed this week by the joint people
New Mexico and Texas is an illus
tration of the growing efficiency o
the Reclamation Service This pro
ject contains over 2,63S000 acre fee
of water or sufficient to cover the en-
tire State of Delaware two feet deep
and the cost OF the land to the set
tier in deferred payments will no
exceed $40 an acre.
Nevada is rext in line, providin;
these 100000 acres are not taker
out of the public domain.

FRANK MANSON HAS RICH
C|NNAbAR MINE

No time has been lost by the Ne
vada Quicksilver Company in getting
new furnace on the ground that was
taken over 10 days ago from Drew &
Farnham. Frank M. Manson, manager
of the venure, states that a 12-hole
Scott furnace has reached the pro-
perty, IA miles east of Nina, and is
being set up.
The old furnace has been treating
| about ton and half of ore per "a
hour day. but the ore is so rich that
an average of three TASKS of 76 pounds
per day has been maintained The ore
treated has been running about 10 to
IL per cent quicksilver. The new
furnace added to the old equipment
will enable the company to roast
about II times the tonnage the old
furnace could handle.
AS quicksilver is now worth $lO0

The marked decrease in our op-
Grating is due to the increased water
supply secured through purchase Of
the Round Mountain Power & Water
Company several months ago. Up to
this time there has been but partial
recovery represented in the gross
yield of $4S,l76 from $4,000 yards Of
gravel. The bedrock cleaning has
been made on only about one-eighth
of the area hydraulicked and it Isl
believed that the ambount remaining
is from $4,000 to $4,000. In ad-
dition there will be recovered from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the branch races
and main failing flume which can
not be cleaned while active opera
tions are in progress. 1t is believed
that the total value recovered will
approximate so cents per yard. An
exceptionally dry season contribut-
ed to the decreased earnings of the
company. Operations in 1917 will
be conducted with many improve
ments calculated to obtain tie maxi
mum efficiency of the water supply
and it is believed that hydraulicking
costs, already reduced to l9,o cents
per yard, will be cut to IS cents pc
yard. Operations in 1917 will b" in
territory that is already proved 70
have values of 81 or more per yard.
The water rights and system of
power and water company. together
with other property, were purchased
for $4,000, of which $4,000 has been
paid, the balance being due annual

Relative to candidates serving or

the county commissioners remove an

The deputy encouragement ais
gives it as his opinion that candidates

draw at any time but holds that tn
withdrawal should be made earl
enough so that the printing of e'ec

Under the primary election laws can
