CONGRESS- AGREES
ON OIL LAND LEASE

According to press dispatches from
Washington received at Tonopah dur
ing last week, the long-drawn-out
controversy between oil locators,
leasers, and the Navy Department and
Congress, over the respective rights
of the parties named to work the oil
lands Of California and Wyoming,
has been ended by the conferees of
the Senate and House reaching a final
agreement on the ~oil-leasing bill
which has been before Congress for
the past four years
1t is calculated that there will now
be thrown open for prospecting and
development under a leasing and
patent system SO, 900, 900 acres Of oil,
gas. coal. phosphate and sodium
bearing public lands which have been
held back pending a settlement Of the
dispute between the parties at inter-
est. According to reports, leases will
be granted for periods of twenty
years at nominal rentals, and those
developing oil will pay a royalty to
the government of one-eighth Of the

ENGLISH CORPORATION AND
Transfer FIGHT FOR TITLE

Litigation involving the legality OF
a score of borax mining claims in
Death Valley, now owned by the
United States Borax Company, a
$4,000. 900 English corporation. had
reached the turning point before
United States District Judge Trippet,
when the testimony was closed in be-
half of the company in the suit
brought against James p. Hughes to
quiet title to the property.
The case of the plaintiff has occu-
pied the attention of the court since
December II, 1918, but it is under
stood that the evidence in behalf of
Hughes will be much shorter. The
defendant at one time was a teamster
in the employ Of the borax company.
He testified that he filed locations on
the mines involved in the suit in 1916.
The evidence for the company shows
that it had done prospecting and i'm
provement work. year by year. on
these claims since 1900.

AURORA CLOSING
AGAIN EXPLAINED

In order to correct a wrong impress
sion that was created by a report in
a contemporary publication, the Min
ing and Scientific Press offers the
following report on the Aurora Con-
solidated Mining Company Of Nevada:
The workings of the Aurora Con-
solidated were reached through an
adit, so that all the water. only a few
thousand gallons per day, g~ravitated
into the storage tanks at the mill.
This supply of water from the mine
was insufficient for the milling of the
ore, SO that it had to be supplemented
by a spring two miles distant. The
veins are big quartz-filled assures in
andesite. The quartz contains enough
gold to bring it under the category of
low-grade ore, the physical and eco
nomic conditions being favorable to
cheap mining and milling. In conse-
auence, the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines Company acquired 81 per cent
of the 685, 500 shares in the old COM
pany during 1918. and started to re-
open the mines in June, 1914, at
which time it was estimated a re-
serve of 600. 900 tons Of ore, assaying
$4.S1. was available. The property,
including a 5G0-ton mill. was valued
at $S77, 600. During 1915 al output
of 1S0.529 tons. averaging $4.14 per
ton. was made, and from this a yield
of 1886 per ton was obtained. at a
cost of $3.56 per ton, exclusive OF
interest, current construction, and
royalties. In 1916 the output was
1920 tons. averaging 1892 per ton,
from which $3.50 per ton was extract
ed at a cost Of $2.46 per ton. showing
a profit of 43 cents per ton. In 1917
the output was 175,447 tons, averag-
ing 1892, from which $2.32 was OBJ
tanned at a cost of $3.48, showing a
loss per ton. In 1918, up to Septem-
Der, the output was 104.0S6 tons. av-
eraging $3.41 per ton. from when
$3.50 was obtained at a cost of $3,4S'
showing a loss of IS cents per ton.
Evidently the rising rate of wages
and the advancing price of supplies
caused the curves of recovery and
cost to cross each other during 1917,
without any immediate prospect of a
reversal Of their fateful relations;
therefore operations ceased in Octo-
Der, 1918. These facts may be useful
in days to come when the Aurora
Consolidated again invites resucita-
ton.

Winnemucca Is Years Ago Today
From The Daily Silver State
O HUMAN ANGELS

o The problem of flying has been solved, ii is claimed, by a rich scint- 9
Q list in Berlin, Otto Lintenthal, who. undsmayed by the failures of the 9
o hundreds who have preceded him in the same line Of effort, has expert 9
Q mented until he can now claim. apparently with some reason, to have z
o achieved success. 9
Q The Lilhenthal theory is that birds do not exercise great power in Z
Q flying, but keep afoat in the air by the particular way in which they 9
Q manipulate their wings. Reasoning upon these lines, a flying machine z
. has been constructed upon a variety Of angles, designed to catch the air 9
o in whatever direction it may come, or from whatever quarter. The {
o affair is built in almost exact imitation of a bat; the delicate ribs and
. body ar made of willow wood. which is tough but light; the wings are
Q covered with light sheetng. and when spread they have a circumference {
o of twenty yards. The entire apparatus weighs forty pounds. 4
Q LiIhenthal began his trials with the new flying machine from the
Q summit of a turpt which rises forty feet from the ground. Adjusting
o the wings and seating himself upon the skeleton of the mechanism, the
Q inventor pushed himself OF the towertop into space, as would push
o a boat away from the bank. Working the wings with little effort, the
Q man nuttered through the air. finally reaching a height of 200 feet above
" the ground. and then descended safely.
o After this experiment. which satisfied him of the practcabrity Of his
. theory, Mr.. LnlienthaI resolved gradually to increase the altitude, and
Q for this purpose he went o the steep hill of Rhinower, nea Rathenow,
Q which rises to a abrupt height Of 800 feet, its side being a stony cliff
. almost perpendicular. On the top of this hill he built a small tower,
o making the entire distance from the level $50 feet Then he adjusted
Q his flying apparatus and leaped on. Upon his first trial he sank perhaps
Q fifty feet, and then commenced to rise until he had reached 1000 feet
Q and then gradually noated down. alghtng gently upon the road.
o Repeating his experiments for several days, he eventually reached
2 such perfection that he was able to stand still in the air without moving
9 the wings. He also travels in circles steering himself by the appliance.
Q a semi-chcuar attachment doing the same duty as a rudder as that
. done by the tail Of a bird. To a moderate degree Mr.. Lfienthal APP
. pears to have accomplished the aerial movements of the bird, and it only
. to great heights, OF to remain aldt with the same endurance Is do the
. creatures designed by mature or that purpose.
o The scientists description of the sensation while sailing through the
. air is certainly attractive He says that the feeling of motion is m
. trely lost, 81 easy and free from fatigue is it, The absence also of any
. stationary objects. which would indicate movement in the human being,
. gives the sensation that the earth, instead Of the a himself, is In
. motion.
