New Orc
C|lutcS In
Greenwood

The management Of the Combined
Metals company, operating the Green
wood lease, reports new exposures of
mineralized soluble beds at the east
end Of the property now under oper-
alton; also the opening of new high
grade stope of ore near No. l shaft
of the Amalgamated-Pioche company.
Formerly these ores were exposed
and tonnage developed at the west
end Of the property only. 1t is now
fair to expect continuation of these
beds for the entire length of the leas-
ed ground. Future expectations ex-
tend as we'll into possibilities Of other
soluable beds being located on the
lower levels.
Past shipments from the Green
wood lease have only been from high
grade shutes opened in the Green
wood fault and development work to
the mineralized beds has been pros
ecuted with the proceeds of these
shipmnts.
E. H. Snyder is conducting ex-
perimental work In Salt Lake City at
the laboratories of the U. S. Bureau
of Mines with the idea of determining
the best method of recovery of the
values contained In the large tom
mage of low grade ores developed In
the mine. This work Is practically
completed and Mr.. Snyder reports
very favorable results. The percent
age of extraction of the metals has
attained exceeding past expectation.
The management considers the
condition Of development In the mine
sufficient to warrant temporary sus-
pension of such work until the ex-
perimental tests being conducted in
Salt Lake are concluded and the pro-
posed reduction plant Is we'll under
construction. Following out this pol
icy it has been decided to close down
No. l shaft on January / but op-
erations will be continued at the
Greenwood shaft and effort directed
to the mining of high grade ores only
This reduced operating program,
with the continuation Of figh grade
shipments, should place the company
in a very strong position financially.
and when the reduction plant Is COM
. pleted TO new financing should be
necessary to begin mining Oh large
tcale the great tonnage of so-called
low grade ores which have been ex-
posd in the GrsenWou mine.

Virginia-Louise
Plans Mature

Judge Chas. Lee Horsey who re-.
turned from Los Angeles Christmas
morning, reports that the Virginia.
Louise Mining company has succeed
ed in working out details regarding
the financing Of its property and
it is expected that the operation of
the mine will be undertaken upon
somewhat extensive scale about Feb
ruary l. The management has placed
an order for a new engine, much
larger than the one which has been
used at the mine heretofore and when
it arrives and Is installed, right

Expecting to hear of Judge Averill's
decision in the damage case against
the Prince Consolidated, which was
tied before the TonoDah Judge, to
be handed down almost any day This
case involved the question Of tres
pass and alleged unlawful extraction
OF ore from the property OF the
Virginia-Louise company.
When asked concerning this case
to be argued before the Nevada Rail
road commission in which the ques-
tion Of making a common carrier
out of the Prince Consolidated rail-
road is involved, the judge said, "this
matter will come up sometime in jan
uary, the exact date not yet having

The trial Of the case Of the Prince
Consolidated against the Virginia
Louise company to determine the
question Of apex rights raised by the
plaintiff company Is scheduled to
come up in the federal court at Car
son City in the near future. George
s. Brown, former Judge Of the dis
trict court of this district, but now
an attorney for the Southern Pacific
Railroad company, has been employed
as associate consel for the Virginia
Louise company and will assist F.
R. McNamee, who Is in charge. It
is understood that both contestants
have employed some of the best ex-
pert mining talent in the country for
this trial.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
VISITS CARSON CITY

Our own district attorney, William
E. Orr, slipped quietly out of town
last Wednesday-following the an
nouncement of the death of Senator
Francis G. Newlands-for Car
son City Just what the object of his
mission was confded to only few
close friends-and they won't tell.
or course, over at Carson and
Reno, there has been some lively
doings in democratic politics the past
few days. There Is general shifting
of positions on account of the SEN
ator's death and it may be that our
district attorney figures in getting in
on the shift with the object of win
mig some position in the state coun-
ellis. Meanwhile, Governor Boyle is
hurrying back to the state capital
from Washington.
Should Gov. Boyle conclude to ap-
point Hon. Pat McCarran to fill
the place made vacant by the demise
of Senator Newlands. there will be a
vacancy In the supreme court and
1t Is conjectured that in this event
the governor might be disposed to
fill this place with man from the
county which gave him one of the
| biggest pluralities in the last guber-
material election; SO William seeks to
be on the ground while these inter-
esting things are taking place.
1t may be that Gov. Boyle will con-
clude that the best way to get Attor-
ney General Thatcher out Of the way.
as he aspires to succeed Boyle as gov
ernor, is to appoint him senator In
that event there will be vacancy
to fill in the attorney generals office
and 1t is just possible that the Lin
coin county man might get look-in
there.
Some contend that his mission Is

Horsey, who declined to run for cong
ress two years ago against Ed. Rob-
erts. Persons of this view declare that
Horsey stands high in Democratic
circles in this state and that governor
might be induced to appoint him
senator. because he Is counted on as
a leader in Democratic politics and
was a close friend of the dead SEN
ator. II this should come to pass,
Horsey would resign as district 1ud-
ge there would be Bill Orr's chance
to step in the latter's shoes on the
district bench and put him right IN
line for the Democratic nomination
next fall. Anyway, the district attor-
ney declares that he Is done with
running for county office; so the nat
ural assumption is that he is out FOR
bigger game. To be sure nothing Is
gained unless one tries.
Should the district attorney land
something, would open the question

four other attorneys in the county
his place would be filled by either

COUNTY BOARDS
HAVE AUTHORITY

In an opinion given to the chief
engineer of the state department OF
highways by the attorney general the
belief Is expressed that the board OF
highway commissioners, created by
virtue of chapter 275 Of the Nevada
laws Of 1913, has the right to lay out
and improve roads in any county IN
which the act has been adopted and
pledge the credit of the county for
the expense thereof.
1t Is further stated In the com
n.unication that Elko county has ad'
opted the terms and provisions OF the
act in question and the entire admin
stration of road matters In saic
county Is within the province OF sale

each built up its own machinery for
reaching the public. The difficulties
of reaching the people of the Ninth
reserve district, when fully 80 per
cent of the entire area is farm land,
were considerable, and necessitated
that in order to bring home the i'm.
portance of the loan, committee men
must visit every section of land and
personally discuss the subject with
the farmers. With more than a week
to- complete the campaign, the out
look is encouraging Preliminary re,
suits are sufficient to justify the belief
that notwithstanding the size of the
territory, the thinly settled character
of many districts, the great distances
to be covered, and the difficulty of
getting into touch with individual
farmers, the district as whole will
make an extremely satisfactory re-
spouse and subscribe a very heavy
amount.
