APPROVED BY ASSEMBLY

CARSON CITY, Feb. 9.--Fulmers

to women in Nevada was passed by
the assembly today after a number
of amendments had been made to
the original measure and practically
every member of the house had
joined in the oratorical feast that

the inclusion of nurses in the gener-
al terms and his amendment exclud
ing all nurses end even nurses in
training from the eight-hour shift
were approved. Hanley of Elko
made a persistent effort to include
telephone and telegraph employees,
but was unsuccessful.
Speaker Luce surrendered the
chair during the debate and from the
floor strongly opposed placing women
working in telephone or telegraph
offices under the provisions of the
act. Protests had been received
from every part of the state, de-
clared Luce.

fighting the BILL" announced the
spenker, "but the women themselves.

fornia, asking the aid of this state
in inducing the government to pro-
vide funds for the maintenance of a
highway between the two western

coming through the White mountains
The car bearing the answer of Gov
ernor Boyle will travel via Reno,
Beckwith, Quincy and down the
Feather river to Sacramento The
Western Pacific railroad bed will be
used part of the distance This
route is known as the old Placer
vile road, and in the early days was
used by the stages plying between
California and Nevada. 1t was kept
open both summer and winter.
The message Of Governor Boyle
will probably be entrusted to Sena-
tor A. w. Keddie, president pro tenn
Of the senate, who is thoroughly IA
miliar with the route to be traversed.
Phil ellison of Reno is one of the
Nevada automobile men who have
been advocating the project. T. ].

tin and Eureka.
From the Utah line to Verdi, via
Wells, Elko, Winnemucca, Lovelock
and Reno.

lining LABORATORY HAS
MADE 1888 TESTS

Since the creation of the Nevada
state mining laboratory by an act of
the legislature in March, 1895, up to
January l, 1917, 57,353 determin-
ations on 14,S25 samples submitted
by 1854 persons have been made,
says the Reno Gazette.
During the first ten years, accord
ing to a bulletin sent out from the
laboratory, it was little used and it
was not until the year 19O1-19O2
that it's work began to be of import
ance. From then on the laboratory
began to take an important place in
mining in the state and during the
past three years the work has more
than doubled.
In 1915 the number of SAMPLES
handled were 25 per cent greater
than in 1914 and during the past
year an increase of over fifty per
cent has been made over 1915. An
average Of seven samples daily is

SHOE PRICES WILL SOAR;
WAR SAID TO BE REASON

Shoes will advance more than rs
per cent during the coming six
months, if the hide and leather COM
panies of the United States fulfill the
contracts which have been rendered
them by the warning nations of Eu-
rope. E. Kahn of Phoebe. New, has
been at the Hotel Utah buying shoes.
He said the wholesale price of shoes
has advanced so sharply in six
months that in many instances the
dealers are losing money and that
manufacturers had reported to him
that one of the European beliger-
ents had contracted for 100000, 900
worth Of hides in this country for
delivery within the next three years
and that others have contracted for

tie which are yet unborn
He was borne out in this state

OFFICE OF SECRETARY
OF STATE CRITICISED

CARSON CITY, Iat. 9.-Criri-
c'sri of Secretary of State Prodigan
by Renfro Of Churchill democrat
today resulted in Speaker Luce sur
rendering the chair for "a few min
utes and entering a vehement pro.
test against such action, especially
as the state officer was a member of
the Democratic party and the assem-
blyman making the attack being
member of the same party.
Renfro's criticisms were made
while senate bill No. 20, by Buol of
Clark, repeating the act authorizing
the secretary of state to employ a
stenographer, was under discussion.
Winters of Ormsby and Hardy of
Humboldt had both attacked the
measure declaring that it would work
hardship on the secretary, when
Renfro arose. The Churchill coun-
ty member announced that no stenog-
rapher was necessary for the secre-

secretary in his Office before IL
O'Clock noon," declared Renfro, land
in the afternoon it is also difficult to
locate him. He appears to have
more leisure time than any state
officer"
Speaker Luce then announced his
exceptions to the remarks Of Rem
fro, declaring that the assembly had
no right to attack or criticise any
state officer and that the remarks
came with poor grace from a Demo-
crat in view of the fact that the
secretary of state was a member of
the same party.
On motion of Heidtmann of

fore the senate. His point of order
was overruled by President Sullivan
and Senator Harrington then moved
that the measure be rejected. Huskey
interposed an objection and Senator
Thatcher stated that he had talked
the matter over with the attorney
general and was of the opinion that
the measure must be voted on by the
senate.

ELKO, NEVADA, MAY
GET BECKER BREWERY

OGDEN, FEB. 11.-Since the pas
sage of the prohibition bill, remov-
ing any doubt as to the status of
Utah on the liquor question after
August 1, several cities have fost-
cred plans to bid for the local plant
of the Becker Brewing & Mailing
company. Officers of the company
have virtually conceded that the
plant, or at least that portion of it
devoted to the manufacture of beer,
will be removed to another state. but
decision as to the city that will get
it has not been reached, according
to G. l.. Becker, president.
The Elko Free Press of recent
date is authority for a statement
that the company is favorable toward
that city as the new location of it's
brewery, provided the business men
OF Elko offer some inducement in
the way of site for the plant. The
Elko newspaper lists among the
towns resources which are favor
able for brewery an unlimited sup
ply of pure water, modern electric
plant. railroad connections with the
Western Pacific and southern Pa
ciffc and an ideal site. The editor
OF the Free Press urges the business
interests of Elko to make a bid for
the Ogden brewery before some
other city in Nevada or Wyoming
claims the plant.

The Amalgamated Phoebe M. & s.

but because the smelters of zinc ore
are in such an Independent position
that they can and do dictate what
ever terms they wish in the purchas-
ing of the mine-operators product,
says President Van Wagenen.
With every item of material and
labor which goes into the production
of the zinc ore at the highest price
ON record, and with almost no in
crease in the price at which the zinc
ore can be sold, even on the high
quotations prevailing, it is impossi-
bic to operate at other than a loss.

ore, and in good quantity, zirc ore
has come in, from which assays are
common running 80 per cent zinc,
10 per cent lead and ounces silver.
There is about foot in width of this
material. This ore so far, is about
$50 feet in length as shown by five
prospect shafts, and is about equal

on the north and the Groom South
end company on the south. The

contact, and has shown carbonate of
lead and iron from the start with
galena coming in with the last few
shots This is the first work in the
camp on one of these side, or paral-
lei veins and its development is
