story, THE Rescue" Popular stories
make popular photoplays-a fact that
has often been proven-and motion
picture magnates are using up good
novels as fast as they can be found
and made adaptable to the screen.
"The Rescue" is a work especially
fitted to photoplaying. 1t is a society
drama, set in sumptuous drawing
rooms and reception halls, its out-of-
door episodes calling for some of the
most beautiful houses and grounds in
southern California. The radiant sun
shine of the west coast has been
caught by the camera as it floods ap-
pealing vistas of lawns, flower beds
and stately mansions. Ladies in at
tendance will be especially delighted
with the sartorial display. more than
a score of handsome gowns being
used by Miss Phillips and her pretty
associates during the progress of the
story.
A special Charlie Chaplin comedy,
"By the Sea-" has also been booked
for tonight.

SCHOOL OF MINES
4-WEEKS SESSION

The fourth session of the short
course for prospectors at the Mackay
School of Mines at Reno is now being
held. 1t opened on January with a
registration of seventeen, which was
slightly more than that for the pre-
ceding year, and is most encouraging
when the war conditions, which have
cut down the regular attendance at
the Mackay School OF Mines, are taken
into consideration. The work of the
class will continue until Februarya 2,
covering period of four weeks. The
subjects which are taught, together
with the name of the instructor and
the time devoted to each, per week,
are as follows:
Prospecting f. c. Lincoln,
five lectures.
Geology-Prof. ]. C. Jones, three
lectures.
Mineralogy-Prof. J. c. Jones, two
laboratory.
Assaying-Prof. w. S. Palmer, one
lecture, two laboratory.
Mining Law-Vice-P President E. Lew
ers. one lecture.
First Aid-Dr. j. J. Sullivan. one
laboratory.
Surveying-Prof. H. P. Boardman,
one lecture.
Chemistry-Prof. Maxwell Adams,
one lecture.
Hygiene-Prof. Peter Frandsen, one
lecture.
Gas Engines - Prof S. G. Palmer,
two lectures, one laboratory.
The majority of the men who are
attending the present session of the
prospectors' short course are miners
and mining men, for whom the course
is primarily intended, while the mi
nority is made up of members of other
trades and professions with whom
prospecting is of subsidiary interest.
BY far the larger number in this class
came from Reno. but there are four
from other Nevada towns. one from
California, one from Colorado, one
from Ohio, and one from Alaska.

CLASSIFICATION OF
WAR RECISTRANTS

To the Press of Nevada
1t appears that the minds of many
registrants and of their relatives are
somewhat confused on the question
of classification by local and district
boards in the administration of the
selective service law; and in order
to relieve such confusion it is thought
best to make the following explana-
ton:
Where there is a dependency claim.
and an industrial or agricultural
claim, if the classification by the local
board on claims other than Industrial
or agricultural is more deferred than
the classification by the district board
on industrial or agricultural grounds,
the classification of the local board
would hold, as it is the most deferred.
Or, vice versa, if the classification by
the district board on industrial or
agricultural grounds is more deferred
than the classification by the local
board on claims other than industrial
or agricultural the district board
classification would hold.
In cases appealed to the district
board by a government appeal agent
from the classification of the local
board. the reclassification by the dis
trict board on such appealed cases
would hold.
This office will appreciate any pub
licity which you may see fit to give the
foregoing. Respectfully.

Rumors of a wonderful strike of

made between Black canyon and John

years ago that was worth 5000. The

cost her one dollar. She wanted to
sell her house on Lay street because
Mr.. Twist has gone to Walla Walla,

GRAZING PRIVILEGE
MAY NOT BE SOLD

The Secretary of Agriculture is no
tifying holders of permits for grazing
livestock on national forests that the
payment of any bonus or allowance
for waiver of grazing privileges In
connection with sales of livestock or
ranch properties will be cause for
cancellation of the permit.
One of the regulations governing
the use of national forests for grazing
privileges provides that permits will
be granted only for the exclusive use
and benefit of the owners of the stock.
Permits so issued will be forfeited II
sold or transferred in any manner or
for any consideration. However, in
order to protect permittees who may
wish to dispose of their stock against
losses which sacrifice sales would
bring because of no permit rights,
the custom has been to allow the new
owner to continue to use the national
forest ranges used by the former per-
mittee. Grazing officials of the For
est Service point out that, without n
transfer of the permit with the pur-
chased stock holders of permits wlo
wish to go out of business or dispose
of a portion of their stock would not
be able to obtain fair value for their
property. The procedure all the way
through has been to prevent the secur-
ing anything approaching vested
rights in the public property either by
individuals or companies.
Owing to the great and ever-grow-
ing demand for the use of forest
ranges, which now in most localities
is beyond their carrying capacity. the
grazing privilege has become of large
value. However, because the Govern
ment applies a system of regulated
use to encourage production and pro
mote the upbuilding of the country
thus securing the greatest good to the
greatest number. only a moderate
charge is made for the grazing per
mits. The grazing officials, therefore
believe that ii would be entirely un-
fair for the Government to forego .
maximum return for the use of ITS
ranges and then allow those granted
the privilege of use to collect this
value from others for surrenderins
the privilege Such a practice. they
maintain. would make competitive dis
posal by the Cover
ing privilege the Sc
Secretary Houston points out in his
notice to holders OF permits that the
payment of bonuses or the giving OF
any consideration to secure the filing
of waiver of the grazing privilege
would be a consideration for a privi-
lege the granting of which is wholly
within the discretion of the Govern
ment and for which no one is entitled
to receive compensation. Any such
payment, therefore, will be sufficient
cause for the revocation of permit cr
forfeiture of all grazing preferences
based upon the purchase of permitted
stock. This ruling, however, will not
prevent the transfer of privileges in a
legitimate manner.
