SEEKS TO MAKE PRINCE
RAILROAD COMMON CARRIER

AS has been anticipated for some.
time, the Virginia-Louise Mining com.
pany has taken steps before the Ne.
vada railway commission to have the
Price Consolidated railroad declar-
ed cOmm3'l carrier.
The complaint in the case was for
warded to Carson several DAYS ago
and is no doubt filed with the COM
mission. Among other thing alleged
the plaintiff sets forth that the Prince
railroad is handling ore for inter-
state shipment coming from its own
mines, as we'll as handling merchand-
Use, machinery, etc, for hire and is,
therefore, common carrier and sub
ject to the provisions of Chapter Al
of the Nevada statutes of 1907.
The complaint further recites.
that the question herein involved,
and is the subject of this action, is
one of common and general interest
to the mine owners of the vicinity
OF Prince mine and that portion of
the Ely mining district adjacent

with one of the Utah smelters for
the shipment of 100 tons of ore per
day, which can be hauled over the
defendants railroad at a reasonable
rate, netting 4 profit of from ss.50
to $4 per ton.
The plaintiff prays that the de-
fendant be required to answer the
charges set forth in the complaint,
that the commission fix time and
place for the hearing and that the
hearing be held in the town of Pi-
oche at as early date as possible,
which place will best serve the con-
venience of witnesses and litigants.
That after full and complete hear
ing the defendant permit TIE piaia-
tiff to connect with the railroad at
suitable point near the Prince Con-
solidated; that the commission order
the defendant to carry ore or other
freight shipped over it's line to and
from Phoebe; that the defendant be
required to file with the railroad COM
mission, regular freight tariffs, etc.

THAT during the month of May,
1917, the plaintiff demanded of the
defendant that it be permitted to
enter in, over and across the
lands of said defendent for the
purpose of surveying a spur railroad
track to connect with the railroad
of the defendent, Prince Consolidated
Mining & Smelling Co., at conven-

of the defendant that it enter con-
tractural relations with the view of

service reasonable compensation

IRA MEN
UNDER LOCAL BOARD

The provost marshall general has
issued orders providing for the send
ing of men transferred from jurisdtc-
ton of one local exemption board to
another to the mobilization cam 8.
Under the latest instructions the
Lincoln county board, for example.
will assume control of direction Of
men it has examined an &C .epted
at the request of other boards, and
notify them to appear for entrain-
ment the same as in the case of local
men, nd make the same provision for
them with respect to food, lodging
and transportation. When such men
are accepted at the mobilization
camps, however the credit will be
given toward the quota Of the home
board, and not for the examining or
acting board.

the new strike is shipping ore. but
along side the rich shoot is a larger
quantity of low grade milling ma
terial.
The Greenwood Leasing company
has leased the property down to the
500 of the Amalgamated shaft and
late developments indicate that it will
have ore sufficient to keep a good
force of men busy for sometime.
The Amalgamated company, sens
ing the Importance of the new strike.
has begun driving for the same ore
channel on the 1900 level
The Greenwood development Is of
the greatest Importance to the camp
and should result in causing d Nv in

OSCAR CUNNINGHAM IN
LIST OF THE "SLACKER

In the compilation of the work Of
the Lincoln County Exemption
board an error made to appear that
Oscar Cunningham, who registered
at Caliente, belonged to the roll of
honor" list of young men called to
the colors from this couaty. The fact
is, Cunningham is stacker as he
failed to appear before the board on
the date designated for the physical
examination, or at any other time.
Instead, his nalue belongs in the
tdishonor roll" or Stacker list.
The name of Thomas Duia Of
Caliente should be in The "honor
roll" for he filed no claim for ex-
emption within the required time; so
he will help make up Lincoln coHn-

Greenwood Strike
Greatest Made
In Many Years

The strike made in the Greenwood
lease recently has developed into
what Is declared to be the most i'm
portant discovery of ore made in any
mine in Phoebe in a score OF years.
The ore body Is big one and
yesterday the drift showed fine
face of high grade silver lead mater
ial which will easily average 5000
per ton. Twelve mine cars of this
material was hoisted yesterday and
much more could have been had, had
the cage been available. This was
due TO the fact that at present the
ore must be hoisted from No. 1 Anal
shaft and the latter company
carrying on development work on the
1900, required the cage some of the
time for it's own use.

DEER SEASON OPENS
IN NEVADA OCT 1

The dear hunting season in Ne
yada opens October l and a number
of Lincoln county sportsmen are look
ing forward to that date with s"'G
deal of anxiety.
The department of agriculture urg-
es all persons to cooperate to s, !" ne
the best possible protection of deer
30 as to get the maximum amount OF
venison as a source of meat.
1t is estimated that about 10000
deer are killed legally in the United
States each year. These produce near
ly 10 100000 pounds of venison. The
biogical survey OF the u. s. depart
ment of agriculture says that this
number of deer can be very largely
increased since only two or three
states produce more than 10000
deer a yea-, and many less than
l.OO0deer are obtained in state as
densely populated as Massachusetts
II would not W difficult. says the de-
partnent, to increase the total IN the
other states by at least 25 per cent.
Every pound of venison brought in
from the woods should be made to
save pound CT beef. pork or nut
ton raised on ran.., or farm
The cooperation Of game cornmis-
sioners, conservative organizations
and other associations is eq.lested by
the department as an aid in securing
accurate reports Of the number OF
deer killed in each state his year
such reports should prove OF value
Tor comparison with the retdrns from
otner years and may tell whether
the number Of deer annually taker
IN any state may be increased with
out impairing the breeding stock.
