ing to the burdensome corporation
laws the par value of it's 1000, 900
shares was valued in the i%ncorpora-
ton articles at only ten cents a

a much higher figure and will doubt
less later be sought at a fancy
price, owing to the strength of the
company and the strategic location
of it's holdings.

lowing groups: Thelma, three
claims; Cash Entry, six claims, and
Manhattan White Cops Extension,
three claims and two fractions and

r. w. Cattermole, engineer of the

anxious to secure the best facilities
for handling the ore. The track
will extend from about the old
powder house directly north OF the
shaft on the main line a distance
of about 1000 feet, as il Is neces-
sary to AVOID a direct line in order
to secure all easy grade. The Mon
arch Pittsburc ore will be sent to
the Belmont mill at Millers. The
first shipments were treated at the
West End mill where they were de-
livered by trucks but with \ steady

making ventilating improvements,
the Monarch began hosting ore this
morning and it is presumed that
shipments will go steadily forward.
Streaks of good ore continue to
show in the face OF the 500 east
drift which is being extended upon
the breccia footwall. The 500 eas'
raise continue to show four feet of
good ore, which is being put into
he bin.
In the west drift which has here
tofore been in low grade quartz, a
crossing has been encountered which
gives promise of developing another
good shoot when the same is fully
penetrated, that is to say, the shoots
usually make between these ros
ings whose strike is north and
south or at right angles to the vein.
The vein has a horizontal width OF
% feet at this point and should
commercial ore be encountered on the
other side of this crossing, the on
mage will be immense. - Tonopah

j. NJ. Pine, one of the owners Of
the Anthony King mine in Cotton
wood canyon, and who spent the
winter in San Diego aai Los An
geles, arrived in Battle Mountain
last week. He was accompanied by
j.. j. Graft of Glendale, Calf, and
Don Petty of Azusa, Calf. The lat

some placer property in Crum can
yon.
They came by auto from the
orange blossom country and bucked
some hard snow storms in coming
over the White Mountains.
Work on Mr.. Pines property has
been going on steadily all winter
and with the addition of another
shift he expects soon to connect with
a 140-foot shaft with a 25O-foot
tunnel on which work has been
prosecuted all winter.
Mr.. Pine states that he has a 6 II
foot ledge of shipping ore in the
shaft and at an early date will be
able to make a carload shipment.
OF the interest now being taken
in mines by men of wealth he said:
II never saw the beat of it in all
my mining experience. Southern
California money and eastern money
never IA so eager for sound min
ing Investments and they are look
ing to such places as Lander coun-
ty for a chance to get in right. I
could have brought half a dozen
men with me who desire to see this
country. They will be along in a
short time and they are men who
can swing big propositions.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
USES PAIRING KNIFE
Cuts $307,200 From Amount
Asked for the University
of Nebraska. .
OTHER INSTITUTIONS HIT

Lincoln, Feb. 2S.-(Special 1.-The
finance, ways and means committee
Of the lower branch of the Nebraska
legislature has solved the problem of
the high cost of living. Great men
have studied the question, newspapers
have discussed it and congress has
wrestled with it, but the 'feenance"
committee of the house has actually
solved it. They simply cut down the
appropriations needed.
1t is such an easy solution of the
great problem that it is a wonder no.
body ever thought of it before. In
other words, if you haven't got the
money you can't spend it.
No Raise for "Profs."
The committee began the solution
OF the question Of the hour by cutting
the state university and its branches
s307 200 from the amount asked for,
leaving the total $l,042,500, which is
A little more than was given by the
last session. About 100000 Of the
amount was needed for additional sal
aries for added teachers necessary be-
cause of the enlargement of the uni
versity, and a part for Increases in
salaries OF the now poorly paid
teachers.
Then they took another whack at
the high cost of living problem and
lowered the amount asked for the
maintenance of the state medical col
lege at Omaha from $85,000 to $4,000.
The Curtis school of agriculture was
cut from $4,000 to $6s,000; the expert
ment station at the state farm from
$4,000 to $4,000; the sum to pur-
chase additional land for the state
farm from $4,000 to $4,000; state
entomology from $4,000 to $1,000;
conservation and soil survey, an insti-
tuition which has done more to adver-
tise Nebraska than anything else ex-
cept the newspapers, from $4,000 ito
SH,500; agricultural botany from
$4,000 to $1,000, and North Platte sub
station from $65,000 to $4,000.
The legislative reference bureau
was given the same as last session,
Sl6,50O, instead of $4,000 asked for.
The state medical hospital at Oma-
ha will be given 100000 for hospital
maintenance and $4,000 for a new
laboratory building.

Conservation of Forests Needed
To Insure Supply of News Paper

for paper we must first OF all eiimi-
nate as much as is feasible of the
waste in logging. Then we must re-
use old paper, and Develop woods
hitherto unused to any considerable
extent.
Both public and private enterprise
must take the lead in the intelligent
demonstration of the private lands.
We must provide for the development
of privately-owned timber lands by
compelling fire protection and thus
checking annual losses amounting to
millions of dollars.
Moreover, the public must recog-
nize the benefits to the community
afforded by the demonstration of pri-
waite lands as burdens imposed on
their owner in diverting income from
them. The community should sub
stitute for all other forms of taxation
what known as the yield or harvest
tax on forest lands which are man
aged so as to meet their public obi
cations.
There are plenty OF paper re-
sources in the United States. The
trouble is that they are undeveloped,
unorganized and unnationalized."

Washington, Feb. 2S,-Conserva-
ton of the country's forests as a
means of insuring a future paper sup

problem, he said, primarily is forest
problem, and can be solved by re-
forestration and scientific forestry to
keep up a continuous production OF
pulp woods.
AT the present moment" the state
ment said, "we are using daily 5000
tons of news paper, and this is in
creasing at the rate of 10 per cent a
year. We need about 100000 cords
OF pulp year for all our paper pro-
ducts, and at present only two-thirds
Of this supply is grown in our own
