MINE REVIEW OF
NEVADA ISSUED
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GIVES OUT
REPORT OF CONDITIONS
IN STATE

Mine reports received nv the
United States Geological Survey
from ". c. Heikes of the Salt Lake
field office indicate that during the
last six months the mining industry
in Nevada has experienced Il of
its greatest REVEALS. Old mines
closed down for Years have re-
srmed or are being put in shape
for production. and the regular pro
ducers have increased their output
to the fullest capacity
At many points the use of trac-
tor engines, hauling on each tip
as much as 80 ions of ore between
mine annd railroad, have helped to
improve conditions, as formerly
there were not teams enough FOR
all purposes. The many milling
plants of the state are reported to
be in full operation, and a number
have adopted the flotation process
for increased saving.
In the Yellow Pine district five
dry mills are operated on zinc ores.
Only one of the two copper smeltefs
in Nevada was in operation.
Gold will likely show little in
crease. The declining production
at Goldfeli may be made up -
some extent from the general in
crease in output of ores. No ne
gold deposits of note have been
found. TIE placer geld producticn
at Manhattan and Round Mountain
is about the same, the latter MAX
ing up for any decrease in the for
mer.
Silver may show a gain from in
creased operations made at Roches-
ter. but the increase will probably
be offset by the idleness of the
mines in Churchill county. Little
if any of the silver output is held
in storage for higher prices COM
pared to the quantity so held in
1915.
The production of ore containing
lead has been greater than in re-
cent years, principally from Phoebe,
Goodsprings and Eureka. Ely pro-
duced most of the copper, and at
the rate of production for the last
six months will yield $4,000 900
pounds of the metal in 1916.
Copper properties in the vicinity
OF Luning and Warrington have
been active in shipping low grade
ores to the Salt Lake smelters at
the rate of about 1000 tons month
ly. Deposits Of zinc ore have been
opened in Elko county, where about
600 tons is being produced and
shipped to eastern markets every
month. In Clark county, around
Goodsprings, about $500 tons OF
oxidized zinc ore was shipped in
May and as much during the pre-
vious months. At Phoebe a small
output of zinc sulphides WAS re-
corded. -
AS the copper output has been
increased more than so per cent,
the value of the output as present
prices will be double that of the
past year.

The merger was natural result OF

other cities in the matter. The city Is
not large enough to support two paying
daily papers, but one should be finan.
cial success and the. paper be worthy OF
the patronage it will undoubtedly re.

Look Out for County's Interest.

Corunna, September 11.-Road
Commissioner Roy Bailey hopes to
take good sized delegation with
him TO Lansing September 27 to at
tend the meeting in that city called
by the state highway department for
roadway commissioners and others
interested in the road building move
ment. At that time the distribution
Of $2,1S6,755 in federal road money
will 30 decided upon.
There has been considerable talk
in Lansing of giving the counties
with the bad roads the bulk of the
appropriation money and it is such
all act that Shiawassee county good
road boosters wish to protest against.
They reason that each county should
share alike upon a comparative basis
based upon the county valuations.
Bailey reasons that half Of the fed
eral money is raised by taxation in
the state and that therefore the local
property owners should not bear the
burden of improving other parts of
Michigan.
The road commissioner hopes to
take a large number of prominent
men from this vicinity to Lansing
with him and register a kick"
which will have the desired results.

Real Machinery for Manual Tralnin,
Department. ..S


Machinery for mill work. valued at
81 200, has been installed in what was
the old lumber room of the manual
training department of the high school.
The machinery consists of band saw,
resawer, jointer, planer, rip and cross
cut saw, together with the necessary
tables.
The new work is for young men who
do not expect to follow any profession,
but who rather will be equipped to
earn living at trades on leaving high
school. The young men will be trained
80 that they may receive higher wages
at trade on leaving school than they
otherwise would without any previous
training.
MIR. Carr. manual training teacher,
believes that the machines will in q
short time pay for themselves. Rough
lumber which had previously been
dressed at the mills will be dressed by
the students.

ALTON SEWER BONDS ARE ILLEGAL
Court Decides Technical Point Against
the City.

Afton.-The decision of the supreme
court Of Oklahoma knocks out the
sewer bonds voted here a year ago.
Bonds amounting to $4,000 were voted
by the citizens Of Alton about year
ago to build sewers with. An injunc-
ton against the work was issued, and
on appeal to the supreme court the
town lost the case.
The case was appealed on the ques-
ton Of the legality Of the bonds, which
bonds called for a tax OF the entire
town for construction Of the sewers.
II was held that to vote sewer bonds
districts must be formed and only the
property that got the benefit Of the
sewers was to be taxed. The court
held that the main sewer system could
be put in at the expense of the entire
town. but no laterals could be con.
structed under taxation Of the entire
town. A new election will now most
likely be held and the election and
bonds gotten up properly and legally
so that the bonds can be sold and ap'
proved by the court.
