SECURE LEASE ON
THE NATIONAL MINE
Continued from First Pager

National Leasing Company will start
to drive the eighth level of the Ma
tional mine southwark toward the
north end OF the National Leasing
property. The actual cost of the in
stallation. exclusive Of the buildings.
is more than $4,000. The equipment
could not be replaced today for more
than twice that amount, and the Ma
tional Leasing Company also obtains
at cost all supplies and repair parts
on hand at figures very much below
the present market rates. The un-
foreground workings which vii be
used by the National Leasing Com
pany cost more than 5000 1000. For
the use Of this property the National
Leasing Company has agreed to pay,
on or before the 10th of each month,
a rental of $500, and guarantees 10
continue these payments for at least
ten months, after which the National
Leasing Company may cancel the
lease upon sixty days notice. While
the lease runs but one year. the Ma
tional Leasing Company has the priv
lege of renewal from year TO year for
four years more. National Mines
Company retains a right of way
through all of the workings in its
property. and upon payment Of the
proportionate share of the costs. the
National Leasing Company agrees 70
handle any ores extracted in National
Mines Company property below the
fifth level.
II is stated that four months time
and an expenditure, including rental.
of / 1000, will extend the eighth level
of the National Mines Company. taken
over under the lease. into the prop
erty of the National Leasing Company.
To have reached the same depth on
the vein from the White Rock tunnel
would have required more than a
years time and an expenditure of
800, 900. ever if it had been found
possible to obtain the necessary min
ing equipment and supplies without
delay.
Engineer Parish leaves New York
Tuesday for Nevada TO join Mine SUI
p~erintendent Elmer Pfouts. who is
continuing the operations in the up
per workings and on the surface o.
the Charleston Hill Gold Mining Com
pany's property, which was laid out
and planned by Mr.. Parish when he
examined the property a few weeks
ago.

STATE ASSAYER WILL BE
NAMED IN A FEW DAYS

The matter of the appointment Of
a State assayer and inspector by Gov
ernor Boyle is to be settled during
the next few days, according to the
statement of the Governor yesterday,
says the Carson News.
There has been considerable specu-
lation as to the identity of the prob
able appointee, and numerous repu-
table possibilities have been men
toned. Among the last named was
F. c. Lincoln, professor of mining and
metallurgy at the State University.
This is for the reason that the bill
creating the Office failed to a%ppropri-
ate a sum for the equipment of an
assay Office for the use of the State
assayer. and it is therefore necessary
for the work to be done in the labora-
tory at the University.
There was a meeting of the board
of regents on Saturday and another
on Monday, and authorization was
extended to Prof. Lincoln to confer
with Governor Boyle and determine
on the appointment.
1t is possible that Prof. Lincoln will
be named, and employ a deputy. as
provided in the bill creating the Office,
Or that another candidate for the po-
sition will be decided upon by them,
with the distinct understanding that
the man appointed will have the use
of the University laboratory for he
purpose of doing the control work.

The wool market continues TO be
stronger, with higher tendencies, al
though there is considerable uncer
tainty as to thy future.
1t is the concensus of opinion among
conservative operators that prices at
the present time are too high and
that it would not take much to start
a very severe reaction in values.
Business has been draggy and sales
very light owing to uncertainty as 10
government action in fixing prices,
also negotiations with Great Britain
to secure Australian woods for uni
form purposes. The quietness in the
market may also be attributed par
TALLY to the present high prices, mills
being slow to take hold, feeling that
most anything might happen to cause
lower values to prevail.

ENGINEERS PERFECT POWERFUL
STANDARD AVIATION MOTOR

The Secretary of War has made the
following statement:
The United State aviation engine
Las passed its final tests. They were
successful and gratifying. The new
motor, designated by the Signal Ser.
VICE as the liberty motor is now the
main reliance OF the United States
in the rapid pro luction in large mum.
5ers OF high-powered battle planes for
service in the war. In power, spe,.i.
SerNiceability. and minimum weight
the new engine invites comps rison
with the best that the European war
has produced.
One Of Big Accomplishments OF U. S.
Il regard the invention and rapid
development OF this engine as one of
the really big accomplishments of the
United States since its entry IN the
war. The engine was brought about
through the cooperation OF more than
&C IRE OF engineers. who pooled their
skill aLd trade secrets in the ", EN-.
ersency, Hn!'ing. with the encourage
ment OF the :,iIcraft production board,
the war department, and the bireau
of standards
The story of the production of this
engine is a remarkable one. Probably
the war has produced no greater
single achievement
One of the first problems which
confronted the war department and
the aircraft production board after
the declaration of hostilities was to
produce quickly dependable aviation
motor. Two courses were open. One
was to encourage manufacturers to
develop their own types: the other
to bring the best of all types together
and develop standard.
Standard Motor the Objective
The necessity for speed and guam
tity of production resulted in a choice
OF the latter course. and a standard
motor became our engineering objec.
tive.
Two OF the best engineers in the
country. who had never before seen
each other. were brought together at
Washington and the problem OF pro.
ducing an all-American engine at the
| earliest possible moment was pre-
sented to them. Their first confer.
ence. on June 3. lasted from afternoon
until 2:30 O'Clock in the morning.
These two engineers were figura'
lively locked in room in Washing.

SHORTAGE
IS ALARMING
Favorable Ruling of Railroad
Commission Has Not Re-
IieVed Situation

Predictions made weeks ago rela-
tive to the impending fuel scarcity in
Reno and other parts of Nevada, ap-
parently are being borne out. Al
though the state board of railroad
commissioners few days ago ruled
that the railroads might contract to
deliver in any class of equipment
available, the freight congestion ap-
parently grows worse instead of bet
ter. In It's decision in this matter the
railroad commissioners pointed out
to the general public that owing to
| the eXigencies accruing as result of
/ the war and unsettled conditions gen.
orally, persons in Nevada to whom
fuel was consigned would be FORUM
ate to get delivery of any kind.
! In Reno, at present, the fuel short
age is marked. Local dealers de
clare their inability to secure delivery
| although orders have been in for
weeks. Apparently the difficulty lies
| in the lack of transportation facili-
ties for inquiry develops the fact that
! there Is plenty of coal at the mines.
| The situation, If 1t continues or grows
worse, will soon 80 serious in this
/ community. Every effort ID being
made TO induce the transportation
companies to use every available class
of equipment in the hope of relieving
! the situation.
