P|TTMAN EXPLAINS
OIL LEASING BILL

"Washington, D. G., Aug. %, 1919.
s'To the Press Of Nevada-Gentle-
men: | am receiving SO many inqulr-.
les relative to the general leasing
bill, particularly with regards to oil
lands, that | think little informa-
ton will be Of interest to your some
OF your readers.
On August Is, 1915, the committee
OH public lands Of the senate ulnanl-
mously approved senate bill PTS,
entitled "A bill to promote the min
ing OF coal, phosphate, oil, gas. and
sodium on the public domain Z
This bill has been placed OH the sem
ate calendar and made the unfinisl1-
ed business. All other bills have
been laid aside.
''1'he purpose OF this bill lis to
open up all withdrawn oil, coal.
phosphate and sodium lands for ac-
QUESTION under the terms of the bill
There are two phases Of the bill.
One provides, for a lease, not to eX-
ceed $40 acres, on known oil lands;
the other phase is to grant to a
prospector prospecting permit for
two years on $500 acres of land
not proven to be oil land. If the
prospector discovers oil within two
years he is given a lease on one
fourth of the land upon 5 per cent
royalty, and preference right to
lease the remaining threee- fourths
upon royalty to be fixed by the
secretary of the interior at not less
than one-eighth nor more than one
quarter of the oil produced.
AT the present time. and until a
general leasing bill has passed, oil
claims are taken up under the gen
era1 placer mining laws. They are
located in exactly the same manner
that a placer gold claim would be
located If, however, when the act
goes inte effect. which | think viii
be the case in about two or three
weeks, discovery has not been made
upon the oil claim, then the locator
simply has a preference righteto a
prospecting permit under the bill.
If discovery has been made before
the passage OF the leasing bill, then
the locator can go to patent under
the present existing mining laws.
Very truly yours,

NO CONSOLIDATION
OF PROPERTIES

The proposed consolidation of the
copper mining companies near Yer
ington which involved the joining of
the Mason Valley Mines company.
the Nevada Douglas Copper COM
pany, the Bluestone properties and
the Nevada Copper Belt railroad
failed to be carried out and indica-
tions are that it will not be carried
out, according to a statement OF A.
J. McNab, manager of the Mason
Valley Mines company,says the Reno
Journal.
Failure to agree on terms is the
reason given by Mr.. McNab for the
project falling through and he said
he was sorry that it was not carried
out
Plans to r3open the smelter at
Thompson have not been completed,
according to lMr MoNab, and he
would not say what the companies
plans were in this respect other than
to indicate that the smelter would
be started at some future date.
The consolidation of the properties
was confidently expected by resi-
dents OF Lyon county and it was
thought that great amount of work
would be done as soon as the prop
critics were combined and thus en-
abled to operate at better profit
