WILL HAMMOND COMES
FOR co. COMMISSIONER

A late political announcement is
that of William Hammond of Ursine,
who aspires to become a member of
the board of county commissioners.
He is going to come before the vot-
ers, he declares, as an Independent
candidate for the long term.
Mr.. Hammond is a native of Lin
coin county, having been born and
raised in Eagle Valley, where he
now resides and where he is en-
gagged in farming. Il believe" de-
clared Hammond a few days ago,
that l can hold down the job Of
commissioner and render just as
good service as anyone to the peo-
pie. Therefore l am going to be a
candidate and will go before the
people upon platform pledging
economy and a Straightforward busi-
ness administration of county affairs.

may be, in an effort 30 devise a safe.
workable plan to be presented for the
consideration of the several candi-
Gates
Permit me now to present for your
consideration plan that in my

with the present law and will better
accomplish the desired result than
any voluntary agreement which the
candidates can enter into, an agree
ment which at the best would not be
sanctioned by law and is Of extreme
ly doubtful feasibility.
propose that the candidates for
delegates to the convention be re-
quested to publicly state their choice
for nominee for United States SEN
ator, SO that the voters may know.
where the candidates for delegates
stand; thus indirectly the voters may
accomplish the purpose which our
present law deprives them of. I have
already advised this course wherev-
er | have been and shall continue to
do so.
1t seems now that there will be
but one main contest before the Re-
publican state convention-that for
the nomination for United States
senator. l want the rank and file
OF the party to know whom the can
didates for delegates will favor so
that they may express their choice
accordingly. l shall continue to work
along these lines even though we
may subsequently be able to agree
upon plan to carry out your pro-
posal, in which event the voters
would have a double opportunity for
an expression Of choice.

Nevada Cavalry Is
Ready to M0bO|ize

The mobilization of the two troops
OF Nevada cavalry is going ahead.
II is stated that the new soldiers
will commence to arrive here next
Tuesday and that they are to be
auartered at Armory hall. Before
their arrival detachment of 10 men
under the direction of j. r. Curry,
recruiting agent at Reno, will be in
the city to make the necessary ar
rangements for the men.
Replying to a telegram sent by
Governor Boyle, requesting that the
department issue 200 Gold Medal
cots and 400 blankets for the 200
caYairymen Who had signed up and
We're now awaiting the equipment.

bilities of such injurious legislation
and the Commercial club of Reno,
which is practically the State Cham
Der of Commerce, we understand has
voiced itself in clear and emphatic
terms to our Washington representa-
tives. Action has also been taken
by the Nevada Mine Owners asso-
citation at a meeting just held in Ton
opah. In the debate on the meas
ure in the House of Representatives
one of the congressman opposing it's
enactment charged the south with
saddling the burden and cost of pre-
paredness upon the north. He might
have added the west also, for it is
the states of the west which are
vitality interested in that phase of
the bill applying to the copper in
dustry
1t is interesting to note that the
copper producers OF this state are at
the present time paying a three-fold
tax. They first pay the bullion tax
to the state and county, next pay to
the state and county tax upon their
property including mining equipment
Transportation facilities and milling
and smelling plant, all assessed at a
value which does not take into con
sideration the amount paid quarterly
under the bullion tax law, and they
then pay to the United States cor
poration income tax upon the net
proceeds of their operations. If the
proposed revenue measure becomes
law they will in addition have to
pay to the United States a tax upon
the gross receipts of the smelter
and thereafter a tax upon the gross
receipts of the refinery, the burden
Of which refinery tax will of course
be thrown on the smelter operators
by the refinery companies.
The air is vibrant these days with
talk about the principle of "Ameri-
canism." Would it not be we'll to
apply that principle to our domestic
affairs as well as in our relations to
foreign countries? 1t is essentially
un-American to single out certain in
dustries and impose upon them dis
proportionate burdens of the govern
ment.-White Pine News.

READY FOR COMMISSION

The Bullionville mill, construct
ed recently by the Prince Consoldat-
ed M. & s. Co., was given try-out
during the week and it is expected
that the plant will be placed in reg

NOTED NEVADA RESORT
GOES OUT OF BUSINESS

On account Of the fact that he il;
unable longer to give the business
his personal attention, AL. Fisher has
decided to close his place of business
in Wells. For the first time in about
thirty-flve years the doors are barred
and the famous old place, conducted
during all that time as one of the
most orderly bars ever existing in
any state in the American union, is
and astate in the American union, is
silent. This bar, in reality a museum
of the wonders and curios of the
world, is known from the Pacific to
the Atlantic, and from the Rio Gran
de to the border line of which the
Great Lakes form part. It's wonders
have been viewed by thousands of the
most refined ladies of the land, safe
from insult or molestation 1t has
always been hobby with Mr. Fisher
that ladies could, without fear, cross
the threshold of his bar to view the
curios within the double room. NJ
blinds have graced the doors and
windows of his place-it being his
rule that the business must be con-
Quoted with such precision that there
could be no cause to hide the scenes
from an observant public.
1t seems strange to note the closed
doors. The establishment is one Of
the old landmarks of the west From
all portions of the civilized and unciv
ilized world Mr.. Fisher has gathered
some curio or specimen of natura
history and science, grouping and dis
playing the specimens in the cases
and on the walls in an inviting man
ner, where they could be seen by al
where they could be studied by thu
student of nature, examined by the
seeker after knowledge, and admired
by those who appreciate beholdint
evidences Of the wonders and achieve

hottest and the coldest countries on
the globe, there were curios A cab

markable and valuable display of

the Pacific slope to the snowy fast
nesses of Alaska, adorned the walls,
as natural as life, owing to the treat

1t is remarkable collection, but
no more remarkable than the stall
wart owner, now bent under the
weight of nearly eighty years, the
greater portion of which heve been
passed in Elko county.
Allen Fisher and his place of bus

expected that in a short time the
consumers of tungsten will do some
thing to fix the price so that a
producer will know where he is at.
1t is not expected that metal will
continue to bring the fancy figure
now had, but will relaize enough
to make tungsten mining profitable

getting out fine bunch of silver ore
and will ship as soon as the trans
portation problem is solved. Mr..

NORCROSS REPLIES TO
PROPOSAL OF SAM PLATT

Judge Norcross has made reply to
Sam Platt's recent communication in
the following;
Hon. Sam Platt,
Reno, Nevada
My dear Mr.. Platt:
Your letter of June 29th address,
ed to A. II. Howe, Esq, and myself
as candidates for the Republican
nomination for United States sena-
tor, received / take this first op-
portunity to reply.
You make the following main
proposition:
THAT a separate ballot be handed
the voter at the Republican state
primary election containing each of
our names, so that the voter may
designate thereon a choice for Unit
ed States senator and that the dele
gates to the state convention vote for
the candidate receiving the highest
vote at the polls"
Permit me to say that if any prac-
teal means, which will protect the
rights of all concerned, can be de-
vised whereby such plan can be car
ried out, | will most heartily approve
Of the same
assume that you have considered
that your proposal not only involves
the approval of the several candidat-
es and delegates who may be

plished must require the co-opera-
tion of thousand or more election
officers and public officials in no way
legally obligated to observe the CON
ditions of the proposal and that you
are prepared to present feasible
scheme to carry your proposal into
execution.

views you have recently expressed
were not made public during the ses-
sion of the last legislature and that
those who were opposing the passage
and approval of the present law
which abolished the direct primary,
could not have had your active CO.
operation. | have heretofore as
sumed that you favored the passage
of the present law. Such assumption
which | deem reliable, to the effect
that your partner, Mr.. Sanford, urg-
ed the legislature to pass and the
governor to approve the act now in
force. If | am wrong in my assump-
tion, | will be glad to be corrected
and | would be pleased to have you
state what, If anything, you did in
the way of opposing the passage or
approval of Substitute for Assembly
Bill No, 5, which is the present law
That my attitude towards the
present law may be known, permit
me to state that l prepared the pro
posed amendment to the bill intro
duced by Senator Harrington ant
