NEW RAILROAD WILL
OPEN LARGE AREA

The Journal of Commerce says of
the new Nevada railroad projected by
Walter Trent. John T. Reed and asso-
ciates:
This new railroad acquires much
more than local significance from the
fact that it will become a link in a
transcontinental line connecting the
Western Pacific and the Southern Pa.
cific on the north with the Tonopah
& Goldfeld, the Tonopah & Underwater,
the Santa Fe and Owens Valley rail.
roads on the south.
The main factor, however. that
governs Mr.. Trent and associations in
the prosecution OF this enterprise is
the extremely high price of lead. zinc.
copper, silver and other metals which
has led to the reopening of many old
mines which could make little or no
profit at the prices which prevailed
for some years. The Typo mine, for
instance, was a famous producer 30
years ago, and from 1872 to 1880 the
| output was valued at more than So.
| 100000 The principal values are in
lead and silver and for number of
years the quotations on these metals;
were so low that the mine has lain
idle. Recently the property has been
acquired by the Louisiana Consoli,

IMPORTANT LAND
RULING BY LANE

T. c. Short. attorney for Chair st.
Clair Thomas, has received word
from Washington confirming his eli.
ents title OF 160 acres OF desert land
entered for proof in 1915, and over.
rulin gthe order of the commissioner.
general of the land Office. says the
Nevada State Journal
The case Is one OF unusual interest
to Nevada homesteaders. Thomas. in
1915. made entry of $50 acres of des.
ert land. The year following. c. A..
Edwards contested Thomas annual
proof of the land, claiming Thomas
had not done dollars worth of work
an acre or spent a dollar an acre on
the land, as provided by statute. The
case was brought for trial before
United States Commissioner Anna
Warren, who rendered a decision in
favor of Thomas. The case was then
appealed to the commissioner.genera
of the land Office at Washington, who
reversed the Warren decision and
found for Edwards. The case was
again appealed. this time to the Sec.
rotary of the Interior Department
who reversed the decision of the com.
missioner.general of the land office
sustaining Commissioner Warren and
awarding the land TO Thomas, the
original homesteader.
In making this decision, Secretary
Lane declared that while there might
be some doubt as to the money value
of the improvements put upon the
land, in the matter OF house, barn
well, etc, there could be no doubt OF
the value of the three or four months
of labor put in at clearing the land
by Thomas, which was sufficient evi
dence, in his mind, to prove that the
entry was bona fide and not specula
tive. In other words, the Secretary
held that the labor of clearing the
land was of more actual value to the
government in getting the land set

ELKO COUNTY BOY
ARRESTED AT FALLON

William Swift, Guy Mitchell and Leo
Sepulveda have been arrested at Fal.
lon for cattle stealing. The last named
resided in Elko county for many years.
The case against these three men
was worked up by Sheriff wildes.
Four big ranch companies near Fallon,
the Frank Ranch and Cattle company,
II. Levi of San Francisco, the Western
Meant company and George Williams,
had been missing feeding cattle from
corrals near town for some time. Sher-
If Wildes, learning Mitchell and Sc.
pulveda had cashed voucher from
the slaughterhouse for about $500 for
cattle sold to VIM. Swift, the packing
house company's butcher and buyer
began an investigation of their activi
| ties.
AS the sheriff has the scheme fig
ured out, Mitchell, and Sepulyeda,
both well known in Fallon, would ride
out at night, it is charged, round up
bunch OF cattle from the feeding
corrals near town and drive them TO
the slaughter house, some little dis.
lance outside town. Swift, who lived
on the place, would buy the cattle, is,
suing vouchers for them. In the morn.
ing, before anyone turned up to see
the cattle he would butcher them and
destroy the hides in the offal inciner.
ating furnace on the premises.
The scheme had two weak points
the men concerned hadn't enough
cattle of their own TO make such sales
as they were making. and Swift, tc
avoid censure by his employers fol-
buying so freely without consulting
them, paid n price far below the
market. 1t was these two things that
first pointed the sheriff's suspicion to
