HIGH ASSAYS FROM
NEV. LINCOLN MINE
GOLD-SILvER ORE OF EXCEL
LENT GRADE Is OPENED
NEAR SURFACE

T. j. Flynn and Zeb Ray, Off
Gals of the Nevada Lincoln Mining
company returned from a visit TO
the mine Tuesday and brought with
them samples of the ore now being
developed through an incline shaft
on n of the three veins which
outcrop on the property. The ore
is hard quartz impregnated with
silver sulphides and showing oc-
c%asional specks of gold. Assays
across four feet of the best part Of
the vein returned $50 per ton, of
which $21 is gold.
This is considered by the Off
Gals to be the most important strike
yet made on the property, which
now has a large tonnage of good
mill ore exposed on two of the
three veins. Mr.. Flynn says the
shaft is down 20 feet and is fol-
lowing the vein, which dps into tn >
hill. The ore is solid and gives ev-
cry indication of persistence.
The discovery was made some
liIhe ago ana the ore SnOOL was
traced on the surface by trenching
for 125 feet to the east. The COM
any lately established an assay Of
flee and has been sampling all the
workings to determine the best place
TO sink a shaft. The returns from
tbs discovery were the best and
subsequent work has demonstrated
that a good selection was made.
Murray Scott is now in charge of
deJel tpment work and is thorough
ly prospecting the several outcrops
on the hill. Underground the
sodth drift from the main tunnel
s driving ahead in a faulted coun-
try, the broken mass of rock con-
Ia ming tale and some quartz which
is mineralized but cannot be called
ere. 1t will be necessary to drift
100 feet or more to get out of the
break, and when solid formation lis
reached it is expected that good ore
will be encountered. The main tun-
mel is in 500 feet and later will be
continued to cut the north vein,
which as yet has been given but lit
tie attention.-Gazette.

Won. a carload shipment of silver
ore left for the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company sampler at Hazen
recently, the first shipment for
several decades from this rich pre-
ducer of the early days, says a
report from Oreana.
1t is probably one of the FIST
instances noted in Humboldt county
where an old timer has been
brought back into the producing
class through the present rising
prices in silver.
The Humboldt Queen was one
OF the earliest producers of Ne
vada, flourishing in the days OF
the Queen of Sheba, the De Sofa.

all of them running up into the

Eiumboldts famous as the founda-
ton of the Hearst and other FRI
tunes of the coast.
The Humboldt Queen quit along
in '73 when silver was demonetiz
ed and has been practically idle
ever since with the exception Of
the work that was started there
some months ago and which re-
suited in the present shipment, and
which bids fair to put the prope 'ty
on a profitable producing basis for
some time to come.
Rowland and his partners have
opened up two excellent bodies of
ore in the old workings which were
either overlooked by the old opera
tors or were found to be of in
ferior grade for those times anC
conditions. One bf these veins
is showing several feet of $35 ore,
which was sacked for the presen.
shipment while another shows five
feet of a lower grade, which can
be shipped at a profit since silver
has advanced.

each must be entirely distinct and
of a different character.
THE purpose of the 7,000,0 900
acre grant bill is to raise rs large
a fund as possible for the support
of the university and the public
schools.
1.-THE bill that 1 have passed
through the senate to encourage the
settlement of the public lands IS
known as senate bill 2519. 1t pro-
vides that any citizen may locate
four sections of land. He SASH
months in which to commence to
prospect for water upon any of the
four sections of land. He has six
he develops sufficient surface OF
artesian water to practically irrigate
twenty acres of land. he is granted
any one of the four sections as a
bonus for such work and develop
ment.
GAS was stated by Senator Flanl.
gan, the surface water of the state
has been taken up and dry farm
ing has not so far proven a great
success in Nevada. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that, without water,
homesteading would be practically
impossible, and as has been demon
strated under the strict construc-
ton of the department of the in
terror, desert land entries in Ne
vada are quite impracticable. I'm

two years is not required upon the
land, but the claimant is given two
years in which to discover suffi-
cient surface or artesian water with
which to irrigate 20 acres of land.
This gives the settler a chance
to arm a living somewhere else
while he is prospecting for water
upon a tract of land. If he gets
the water he gets Gao acres. If
he does not get the water it will
not be fit for homesteading and
desert land anyway, and could not
be settled or cultivated. Do you
not consider this the most prac-
ticable way to encourage settle
ment, develop water and stimulate
production? In other words, in
considering the terms of the bill, we
must consider the object of the leg
islation.
The general bill is to build roads;
the 1000, 600 acre grant to endow
the university and the public
schools; senate bill 1929 to N
courage settlement in our state. 1
take it that they are all good bills,
each serving a different purpose,
but not Inconsistent with each
other, and that they must be con-
sidered together in determining the
result to the state.
"As ! realize that you are per-
fectly sincere in your suggestions,
n as the questions you have ask
ed are of general interest to the
people of the state, and as | am
anxious that they should lend their
support to the passage of all three
measures referred to through the
house of representatives, 1 am
sending a copy of this letter to the
press of the state for their infor-
nation.
with best wishes, I am very
sincerely yours,
"KEY PITTMAN.."
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-04-29

Senator Key Pittman has added to
the discussion of the land grant bill
10y a letter addressed to the editor
of the Carson Appeal, a copy of
which is received by the Tribune.
The letter touches generally upon
the points of objection raised by the
opponents Of the bill. The letter is
dated April II and follows in full:
Il am in receipt of the Appeal OF
April -, containing editorial en-
titled Let the Bill Help Highways,
Too
You desire to so amend the T..
100000 acre land grant bill as to
appropriate money for public high
ways in Nevada. You also desire
to strike out the proviso for COM
petitive bidding.
Il have already discussed in a
statement to the public the competi-
tive bidding provision. Whether
the provision is advisable or not,
the bill cannot pass either the SEN
ate or the house without such pro-
vision, and therefore it is useless
for me to discuss the question.
There is no question but that
the building of highways in Nevada
is a worthy cause, but it would be
impossible to obtain a grant OF
land for the federal government
for such purpose.
"At the last session of. congress
| introduced a bill to encourage
the development of subsurface and
artesian water, and to facilitate the
settlement of our public domain.
Certain land surrounding the grants
under this bill were to be sold for
the benefit of the roads in Nevada.
| passed the bill through the senate
in such form. When it reached
the house, the public lands COM
mittee of that body positively re-
fused to report the bill if the mon
ey went to a road fund.
They stated that congress was
le~gislating nationally for all of the
roads of the country, and they
would not grant land for such spe-
cial purpose in any state. They
therefore amended the bill by re
quiring that the money go to the
irrigation fund. After this expert
ence, I knew that any attempted
grant of land for the purposes of
roads in Nevada would be unable to
pass the house.
There is a general road bill now
pending in the United States sen
ate which provides for the distribu-
ton of twenty-five millions of dol
lars between the states for the
building of public highways. This
bill will probably pass, but whether
it passes or not, the fact that it has
been introduced and is now pend
ing and applies to all the states,
will prevent any special road legis-
latiOn. Congress contends that it
is taking care of road legislation
by this general act.
There are two other characters
of legislation that will undoubtedly
he of benefit to the state, and
which l am working upon. One OF
them is the building up of the pub
lie schools and the university, the
other is the settlement of the public
domain. They are entirely distinct
subjects, and the legislation for

A lively scene was that around the
L. & n. depot here Wednesday when
poultry and hay were being loaded
for shipment. Hundreds of farmers
were in town. They received money
for their goods and in turn bought
from local merchants. They were
our guests, but did we, and do we,
treat them as such? True there
exists a hearty spirit of welcome to
all visitors to Hartford. But we
should look to their personal COM
forts and welfare while here. To
make long story short, we should
cooperate by organizing that Ohio
county progressive club, not tomor-
row but now. Several of the farmers
here Wednesday were accompanied
by their wives and children who were
forced to wait where they could for
their escort. Don't say such is the
case in most all towns of our size for
an excuse. but let us get busy and
show the other towns how their
guests should be entertained. We
should maintain ladies waiting
room equipped with all modern con-
yeniences. where hours spent in our
little city will be looked upon with
pleasure and not dread. The best
magazines and papers should be
placed therein. and the rooms should
be SO constructed that cooking and
other helpful demonstrations could
be held occasionally. We have done
practically nothing along these lines,
but it's bound to come. We have the
