MAY TRY FEDERAL
CASES IN ELKo


Senator Plttman has introduced in
the senate and had referred to the
committee on the Judiciary a bill pro-
yidIng for an additional United States
federal judge for the district of Ne
vada. The bill also provides that
terms of the federal court shall be
held at Tonopah, Goldfield, Winnemuc-
ca, Ely and Elko.
The passage Of this bill will greatly
expedite litigation In the federal court,
and will be source OF great saving to
litigants in such court. So many OF
the mining companies, being foreign
corporations. and entitled to try their
suits In the federal court, the present
court at Carson City is now congested
and many cases have been pending
for year or longer. 1t is an enor-
NOUS expense, for instance, to take a
great number OF witnesses from Elko
to Carson City for trial that involves
questions arising IN Elko county. II
such cases could be tried In Elko there
would be no expense OF transportation
of Witnesses, nor OF litlgants, and wit
nesses would not be tnterfered with I'm
their ordinary business except for the
brief time that they would be giving
their testimony. At the present time

ever gathered at the local ball
grounds. the Elko baseball team de-
feated the Montello team by a score OF

people OF Elko for the support given
in attendance at the game and the
management state that they cleared

The Montello fans and players were
most confident of victory and put up
considerable money to back their
team, which was eagerly gobbled up
by local fans who this morning were
jingling considerable Montello kale in
their jeans.
However, the Montello boys ex-
pressed their appreciation of their re-
ception and entertainment in Elko and
promise to scalp the Eiko bunch at
their next contest.

WASHINGTON, May s1.-As was
predicted some time ago. the note
from Carranza, demanding and asking
the withdrawal of the Mexican expa-
dltion of the United States. has been
delivered at the state department.
WASHINGTON, May S1.-Mexican
diplomatic attache Arredondo outlines
to interyiewers- the main. points of
carranza's note in which 1t is stated
that the United States is asked to set
a date In the near future for the with.
drawal of troops. Carranza places the
blame Of recent raids squarely up to
the United States because of Ameri-
cans operating in Mexico and leaving
own territory unprotected and makes
it plain that there will be further in
vasion as long as the United States
troops remain In Mexico.
He says there is no reason for our
troops being In Mexico and declares
that the administrations delay in with
drawing them really contradicts the
friendship claimed. The note leaves
room for suspicious of Carranza's real
intentions and the state department
believes in bringing the situation to a
head.
1t is eonjectured that Carrlnza is
planning to use force II the demands
are not complied with. The answer
Of the administration is greatly profile

BUSINESS MEN AND

TIMELY AND EFFICIENT ADVICE
GIVEN BY WARREN 3. BULLOCK
OF MILWAUKEE, IN ADDRESS AT

CHICAGO, May 81.-"American mer
! chants and manufacturers have los,
great opportunities TO advance Ameri
can. business because of their failure
to appreciate the pride of American
newspaper reporters In their profes
sion." was the declaration of Warren
d. Bullock of Milwaukee, when he
asked the lumber men to help them
selves by helping the newspaper re
porters to get the news.
AS an average newspaper man

OF the business world, the business
man of the country have lost great op,
portunitfes, and instead of making
friends they have often made enemies.
There are two ways in which this
condition can be remedied, rather is
being remedied. One is by more lib,
eral attitude of the business man to.
ward the reporter, the other is by ad-
yertising.
Long years of refusal of business
men to give the news to newspaper re.

antagonistic, on the part of the news
paper reporters toward the men oil
business. This habit of years of think
ing cannot be overcome in day. You
can help remove this habit of thought,
indicated by the use of such terms as
lumber barons' by different attitude
toward the newspaper reporter. You
can help remove the attitude of the

papers, by advertising the character

ance in the nation, by advertising.

OF the Industrial Insurance commits
sion, expressed Saturday when asked
by the Appeal to give 1t some mining
news.
Mr.. McFadden's work with the In
dustrial commission keeps him In
close touch with mining and kindred
industries and In the past two months
he has visited nearly every mining
camp in Elko. Humboldt, Lander and
Eureka counties, and at no time In
their histories, he says, has mining
proceeded with such zeal as now.
Tungsten seems to be the metal most
sought, because Of the high figure that
is being paid for 1t, and its production
is fast assuming proportions. In the
osceola district. forty-five miles south
east Of Ely, several companies are
working tungsten properties and en-
ploying 800 or more men. Twenty
miles east Of Golconda another big
tungsten property is being worked and
forty.two miles northwest of Lovelock
a newly organized company, supposed
to be an auxiliary OF the United States
Steel corporation, is employing about
fifty men. A vast amount of ore is
being hauled to railroad by traction
engines.
Rochester, Mr.. McFadden states, is
coming to the front rapidly and In the
camp probably 200 men are employed.
In Contact district, in northern Elko
county and close to the Idaho line, the
Seattle-Contact company and the Me-
vada Mining company are working two
promising properties and shipping TO
railroad points in Idaho. The ore Is
averaging about per cent copper.
In Spring valley. forty miles south
of Wells, a great deal of development
work is being done by several COM
panies. and the mines have opened TO
such an extent that shipping will soon
be in order. Gold, silver and copper
are the metals being produced. The
old camp at Bullionville twenty-five
miles southwest of Eiito, is again COM
ing into prominence by reason of new
discoveries, and couple Of companies
now operating will begin shipping as
soon as the roads can be put in shape.
Promising work is being done on Mag
gle creek and at Lone mountain, both
districts being situated In Elko county.
Twenty-Five miles southeast OF Bat
tie Mountain the National Mines coni-
pany, the same outfit that controls the
camp OF National Is wording big an

At Willow creek, twenty-five miles
from Battle Mountain, Ralph brothers
are working over an old dump and
shipping the better grade, auto trucks
hauling the ore to the railroad. From
Copper Basin several dumps recently
oyerhauled are also being shipped to
market by Frank Paul.
Golconda, one of the old.time camps
OF the state, is again coming to the
front and a number of properties in
that section are being worked. At this
place the Nevada Mines company. for

work the product from those zones.

AcoUIsITIVENEss NOT 1T.

A British lord lis quoted as saving

America, on account of their alleged
superior intelligence If so, the stan
ard OF worth as we'll as ability would
be acquisitiveness. In the animal
kingdom the Woodpecker which puts
In Its whole life pecking holes in

marked for it's acQuisitiveness next
comes the chipmunk, which gathers
beams and grain all the time, storing
it in holes in the ground. I'm the
chpmunk and the wOodpecker, this
acquisitiveness is rudderless instinct;
in the man hungry to gather in more
and, more dollars, it may be cross
between instinct and mono-mania
Ceraimly it does not require much
ability and that which itdoes require
in no way approaches statecraft. In
the animal kingdom we do not find
the chipmunks and the woodpeckers

useful elephants, the wonderful ST.

noble varieties of the canine race;
do these@samples of acquisi-
