State Aid for Prospectors

State aid for prospectors in pro-
posed in a bill introduced Monday by
Assemblyman Evans of Esmeralda.
Assurances of support from various
sections of the State have been given
Evans and it is expected the hill will
secure early action in the house.
Under the provisions of the pro-
posed act a prospector may apply to
the State for assistance in developing
a claim. The State Mine Inspector,
when he happens to be in the vicinity
of the property. will conduct an in
spection and, if in his judgment the
prospector has a claim that looks
promising, the State will pay sum,
estimated at about $50 monthly, for
five months. This sum will enable
the miner to continue with his work
for that period. when the mine in
spector will again make an inspection.
No additional aid will be given unless
it is specifically requested by the
State officer.

fees. beg leave to report that 1t has
visited and inspected the following
county Offices: county clerk, county
sheriff and Jail, county assessor, coun-
ty recorder and auditor, county sur
yeyor, and county treasurer. We found
all the offices neat, the records well
kept and of easy access, and all the
work of the Offices up to date and
apparently we'll conducted and regu-
lated as these offices should be.
We note with pride the improve
ment in the offices of the county clerk

the county commissioners continue to
cooperate with the various county Of

County buildings


To the Foreman of the Humboldt
County Grand Jury:
We. your committee on county
buildings, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
We have examined the county hos
pital, which we found kept in an ex-
ceedingly neat and orderly condition
and found no complaint amongst the
patients of that institution.
The following is what we find Is
needed at the county hospital: A new
sink in the kitchen, a steam sterilizer,
and a cement walk leading from the
front gate to the front steps of the
hospital. We suggest that plates be
furnished by the county for the X-ray
machine.
We have also examined the county
high school and find ii well kept and
in a creditable condition, excepting
the roof of same. which leaks and
should be repaired at once.
We have also carefully examined
the courthouse and find the walls of
the courthouse in very bad shape, III
that the plaster is cracked and broken
in many places, principally caused by
the earthquake of 1915. We also find
the walls of other rooms in the court
house in like condition, also find that
the ceilings of the courtroom and
other rooms to be badly in need of a

RECOMMENDATIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS OF GRAND JURY

Following are the reports of the
various committees and the recon-
mendations of the grand jury:
Roads and Bridges
To the Foreman of the Humboldt
County Grand Jury:
We, your committee on roads and
bridges, wish to report as follows:
We find that in the past a large
amount of money has been spent for
the maintenance of our roads and
bridges and very little accomplished
for the same. We therefore recon-
mend that the county commissioners
give this road and bridge work more
of their personal attention, so far as
possible.
