MOUNTAIN VIEW AND
RESERVATION HILL

N. w. Willis and c. M. Coddingtor
have TIE mill running night and day
grinding out the Yellow Metal. This
property Is In the old Mountain view
district. the mill is located about 2
miles from the mine, down near the
Walker River, but is high enough IN
value to pay handsome returns. N
w. is giving the property and mill
his personal attention, and with his
experience in mining and milling, will
without doubt make property thai

ing country.
G, w, Winckfeld was in from
Reservation Hill this week. He is op-
Grating his property formerly known
as the Esmeralda, is taking out some
very High Grade Lead Silver ore
and says that with every foot Of depth
the property is increasing its value
very rapidly, He will be shipping in

NEW TUNGSTEN DISCOVERY NEAR
TOWLE BROTHERS RANCH

Red Cline, the we'll known pros
pector. last week made a discovery
of tungsten, in scheelite, which is To-
Gated about one and one-half miles
due west from the Towle Ranch
formerly historically known as the
"Buckland". The discovery is near
the centre of the range on which the
former find was recently made by
James Nugent and Con Alexander
The location of the deposit will bt
recognized by the older miners and
prospectors who are familiar with the
north end of Lyon County when it i
stated thatthe "fnd" lies about fifteer
hundred feet north Of what is known
as the "Old Soldier Mine, which is
now owned and operated by Johr

Ferretti and his associates. Th.
ledge is about two feet in width and
contains undoubtedly high grade
tungsten ore. Other openings on the
surface make similar disclosures Of
values. A big rush is on and many
locations are being made by parties
from Dayton, Carson, Reno, Virginia
City, Ramsay and Yerington. The
first locations on the new strike are
held by the discoverer, Mr.. Cline, and
the Towle Brothers, of Churchill

occurred this month to this vicinity

stem deposits. are SO pronounced that

Since discontinuing operations
in October, 1914, it has not beer
deemed advisable for the best
interests of the Company to re-
sumo mining and smelling opera
tions until such time as the Com
pany could arrange for suffici-
ent and satisfactory supply OF
there ores in order to derive the
greatest benefit from the Mason
Valley ores. While negotia-
tions with this object in view are
still in progress, nothing definite
can, at this time, be stated as tc
the probable outcome.
During 1915, engineers employ
ed by the Company have canvas
sed the District tributary to the
smelter and have kept in touch
with all new mining development
t'lerein. This work is still being
carried on and as a result some
properties have been optioned and
are being. prospected and investi-
gated.
The Company's properties are
being kept in good condition and
ready for resumption operations.
The organization for this purpose
las been reduced to minimum.
The copper unsold at Decem-
Der 81, 1914, was sold early in the
year at prices which realized $751;

SHORT FRHGHTS
DO NOT BENEFIT

The executive committee of the
association of Western Railroads
has issued the following state
ment.
The argument advanced by the
train service employees publicity
bureau that if their demands for
higher wages were granted ship
pers would be benefited by a
more expeditions freight service,
cause the railroads would
|move thir trains faster and if nec-
essary run shorter trains, is fallac-
ious in the extreme.
1t is strange logic indeed that
suggests meeting an increase in
the hourly rate OF pay, abandon
ing the principal means by which
the railroads have increased the
efficiency of the operation. AS
a matter of fact, the shippers and
the employees have profited more
from the reductions in operating
expenses that have been made
larger train loads than have been
possible by handling freight in
in larger trainloads than have the
railroads, bcause rates have been
, steadily reduced and wages have
been steadily increased while the
net return on the capital invested
to make the improvement possi-
bic has been diminished.
The trains that take the longest
time to run between terminals
are not the longest and heaviest
rains, but the way-freight which
stop at every local station to de-
liver or receive freight, and which

tn number of stops. Many of
them are very lightly loaded.
The only effect OF the application
of the basic 8-hour day to this
service would be to increase the
pay of the employees in this class
of service, who are now paid the
highest wages of any in freight
service because their work is
arduous and their hours long.
The statement of the brother
hoods refers especially to mercan-
disc freight, which, it says, is held
5 up at terminals in order to make
G up long trains. The fact is that
t mercandise cars are not held al

Mining news FROM
Mineral COUNTY

Especially important was the
strike made by the Siri brothers
in North Canyon beyond Lucky
Boy. Here is wide cliff eqpos-
ing a surface of more than a
hundred yards in all parts of
which tests indicate the presence
of tungsten in varying values.
This deposit is of Wolframite and
to the chagrin of prospectors has
been passed over by hundreds of
them in recent years. Some Of
them facetiously remark that the
ledge was there when they first
came to the country in '82.
Another important discovery
and this time in high grade silver
and lead ore was uncovered by
John Fasche in the Dutch Greek
district. An option on a half in
terest in this claim has been
granted to J. H. Miller for con
sideration of S5,OO0.0O. 1t is un-
derstood that this discovery a.
we'll as the Gold Pen in which Mr.
Miller is interested and which
lies some distance back of it will
at once be developed to their full
est extent.
DIR. Fuller came in from Nina
the first of the week. He re-
ports renewed activity at camp

shipment of copper from his com
pany's mine at that place netteo

JUSTICE HUGHES
PEOPLES CHOICE

In spite of his vigorous pro
testations, Associated justice
Hughes has become the candi-
date of countless thousands OF Re.
publicans throughout the length
and breath OF the United States
The count in Nebraska shows
that many Republicans went to
the ballot after it had been re
moved by the secretary OF State
in accordance with the wishes oil
the iurist. Undoubtedly Ne5,
raska would have in the Hughes
column had he been an active
candidate for the nomination
The same is true OF number 81
other states.
AS an example OF the strength
of the Hughes movement the ac'
ton of the supreme court OF Ore.
NAV be cited. The associate just
ice had twice requested that hr
name be left off the primary bal
lot and the secretary of state had
concluded to comply with the re-
quest. The Oregon Republicans
however, refused to take no foi
an answer and an application foi
writ of mandamus was hled
against the secretary OF state
The supreme court, after consl-
dering the matter, issued the writ
directing the secretary to ignore
the request of Mr.. Hughes and
place his name upon the primary
ballot. Perhaps an appeal to the
courts would have been followed
by like results in some OF the
ether states where primaris are
held. However, the number oi
instructed delegates is compare
lively small and the votes are di-
yided between a number OF active
candidates, the favorite sons wit
are almost invariably deserted by
their supporters when the band
wagon rolls around and the
choice of the convention seems
apparent. 1t has been said by
SEINE OF those who have no lii,-
ing for Associate Justice Hughes
as a presidential candidate, that
he could have won the prize had
he come out for the nomination
This is probably true, although nc
would not have been supported
by some of these same peopl,
who flourish the "if," AS we looI
at 1t, his chances are above par a

ment in his favor constantly grow

JUSTICE MCCARRAN
CR|TlC|SES PTTnANS DEFENSE

| Hon. P. H. McCarran recently
gave the following interview on
Ipolitics and the Senator Pittman
land grant bill to the Gardnerville
Record Courier. Mr.. McCarran
is a candidate for the democratic
nomination for United State
Senator.
Conditions up to the present
time are most surprising, and j
was never more encouraged in an
aspiration, nor was / ever moro
determined. ! appreciate the fact
that | am opposed by one of the
most formidable machines evei
organized in this state; machine
enhanced by federal appointees
1t is a question for the people Of
this state to determine whether
or not few constituted leaders
that now compose the machine
shall indicate to the mass of the
people of this state as to whom
shall be their nominees for the
highest political Offices.
To Wait on People
Il propose to succeed in this
matter by and through the en-
dorsement of the mass of the peo-
pie of my state, and when elected
| will be the representative OF
those people and of their inter
ests.
On being questioned as to his
attitude on the seven million acre
land grant Judge McCarran said:
"A matter of public moment
such as the granting of great
tract of public land is either right
or wrong in It's inception; there is
no mediatory ground.
Pittman Endorses Bill,
Senator Plttman, the author
of the seven million acre grant
L -
Through his telegram to Governor
Boyle, tacticly endorses the terms
of the bill as 1t passed the United
States senate, even against the ex-
preston of the people of this
state,
Strike at State Welfare
"The bill in its present form
presents provisions which strike
at the future welfare OF the conf
monwealth. The bill as introduc-
ed by Senator Pittman, was made
known through various sources
in this state in the first instance
and | am Informed that copies OF
the bill were sent out to many
people within the state. The bill
was amended during its passage
through the senate by Senator
Pittman himself, and 1T WAS
HIS AMENDMENT THAT IN
lCORPORATED INTO THE
MEASURE THE PROVISION
THAT THE LAND SHOULD
JBE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUG
TION TO THE HIGHEST BID

This amendment, regardless O
how it may be justified, closed the
door to opportunity for the de

"The land of the earth is the
inheritance of mankind, and when
by the provisions of a measure
such as this, the declaration is
officially made that successful
competition with others can only
be accomplished by and through
the power of wealth, and man's
industry and individual effort i,
not to be encouraged, blow is
struck at one of the first laws o.
nature, and the development O.
communities is thereby retarded
No Politics In It
My opposition to senate bill
zs2O is not based on political lin
es and whether or not | am a can
didate for any Office the pass

because | know, and it cannot b,
successfully denied, that it is vi
tai to the welfare of the state
and / am more interested in tn,
welfare, upbuilding and develop
ment of this-my home and the
place of my birth than | am ii.
my own aspiration.
Not in Receptive Mood
Senator Pittman, in a state
ment made public through the
utterances of Governor Boyle, ha
declared that those who opposl
this measure in its present form
must take the liability for the de
feat of the bill. This was not al
expression on the part of the
senator which would indicate thai
hv was ready to accept sugges-
tions from the people of the stat,
which he represented as to thei'
desire on matted applicable i
their future welfare, and in which
they were most interested.
Challenge to Opponents
This was a challenge to those
in the state who dared to oppos,
this measure in its present form
If such was the intention of thu
learned gentlemen there are
some in this state, of whom | an
one, who are willing to accept th'
challenge and say now that
oppose this measure in its presen
form, and will continue to oppos
it as long as it is pending and a
long as its author refuses to &C
cept suggestions from the peopl
of this state as to proper safe
guards to be incorporated i
