NEW SETTLERS SAID TO BE
MAKING HOMES AT FALLON

During the last few days several
prospective settlers have arrived in
Fallon, looking for home on the Car
son-Truckee project. The number
of returned soldiers interested in
filing there is noticeable, and it is
hoped that additional units will be
opened up as fast as needed by these
applicants. says the Reno Gazette.
There is considerable opposition de-
veloping to the recently announced
plan of the government to let the
pasture lands in the vicinity of Car
son lake to the highest bidder, as it
is argued that this plan will result in
few stockmen gaining complete con-
troll of this pasture, which has been
so indispensable to the small ranch
ers and farmers of the valley.

WASHINGTON THINKS MINING
TROUBLES ARE GROWING LESS

A press dispatch from Washington
contains information that any special
governmental or international action
is not necessary to stimulate produc-
tion of gold now that peace is in
sight, according to the report of the
committee appointed to investigate
the entire question of the gold stand
ard. The report, which will soon be
submitted to Secretary Glass, says
the principal problems arising out of
fear that the gold standard through
out the world might not be main
tanned, have been largely removed by
cessation of hostilities.

TOM HARNEY WAS
REAL 'OLD-TIMtR'

Thomas Harney, known to mining
men all over Nevada for nearly half
century, passed away at a Reno
hospital this week. He had been i'll
several months. tom" Harvey was
reared in Wells, Elko county, and in
early life engaged in railroading, run
ming on the road out of Wells. Later
he left the railroad to engage in min
ing, and was one of the early arrivals
IN many Of the Nevada boom camps.
In 1902, soon after the Tonopah
strike, he went there and was town
marshal for two years, leaving the
silver camp in 1904 to accompany
ARIZONA" Charlie Meadows on a pros
pecting trip to the island of Tinuron.
off the coast of Sonoma This adven-
ture did not prove much of a success,
and Harvey returned to Nevada, resid-
ing in Elko county for short time.
Thence he went to Bingham Canyon,
Utah, where he had charge of the
watchmen on the Highland Boy mine
for three years. Illness forced him
to retire from active work, and he
went to Reno in 1915 to reside.
His widow, Mrs. Anna Harney of
Reno; two brothers, Jay of Carlin
and Phil of Wells, and three sisters,
Mrs. Lizzie Baum of Ogden, Mrs. Kate
Conger of Long Beach, and Anna Har-
ney of Evanston, Wyo., survive. He
was fifty years old, and known to all
old-timers in this part of Nevada as
a rough-and-ready adventurer of the
romantic type.

NCTORY LOAN TO
BE S6,OO0,OOO.OOO

The interest to be paid by Victory
bonds to be issued in April is not
known. And we don't care. We are
informed that the next and last Lib
erty loan will be a whopper-probably
six billions - and that's enough to
start US preparing to raise it, Ameri-
cans with the reputation of being
dollar chasers will pay but little at
tention to the interest on these short
term bonds, because there is always
bobblng into our mind the thought of
the interest our partners-the Yanks
received on their investment
When our boys went into the Ar
gonne Forest, st. Mihiel, Chateau
Thierry, Cantigny, and Belleau Wood,
they did not stop to ask the platoon
commander what bonus they would
get if they won the objective, nor ask
for a guarantee against loss. They
sacrificed when they became soldiers,
and they were willing to make the
supreme sacrifice.
Regardless of financial drains for
the government OF for charity, it has
been pretty soft for u.s.; and If the
government chooses to start its last
Liberty Loan drive on the second an
niversary of our entry into the war,
or before, you can bet your last dol
lar that the fellows who are wisely
shaking their heads and saying Its
going to be a hard job" will buckle
down and have a part in the glory of
showing our fighters that the folks
at home are bears" at big jobs them
selves. It's not matter of interest.

mittee of the Twelfth Federal Reserve

LOCAL firm BUYS
CATTLE TO BE FED

j. F. Asst and F. Frey went to Para
disc Tuesday for the purpose of buy
ing cattle for slaughter in the Winnie
mucca Market house. A carload was
bought and arrangements made to
feed them cottonseed cake and alfalfa
hay until time for delivery, thirty
days hence. Mr.. Asst states he is of
opinion these cattle will be of the
best grade ever put upon the local
market
Mr. Asst will leave tonight for Fallon
and vicinity to purchase enough cattle
to supply this community for four
months, until cattle are available in
this section. These also will be put

ONE JUROR PAYS S25 RATHER

One juror drawn to serve on the
trial jury in district court this year
has taken advantage of the statute
which provides that anyone SO drawn
may secure exemption upon payment
of $25 to the county clerk A. T. Lay
was the first man to make cash pay
ment in lieu of service, and the clerk
is informed of DEMO man who will
do the same thing. Generally there

PAY FROM GRASS
ROOTS NOT OFTEN

In the biennial report of State In
spector of Mines A. ]. Stinson, fo1
1917-1S, just issued from the State
printing office, is contained an idea
which If put into effect would be OF
inestimable value for bringing more
mines to production stage in the
State of Nevada, If handled by a
capable and honest man. Mr.. Stin-
sons scheme, as propounded in the
report, is as follows:
1T seems to IN that some agency
could be invested with power to semi
| officially approve enterprises where
there WIS even a remote possibility of
the prospect becoming producer.
This agency should be headed by a
technical geologist, and his approval
need not go farther than to state that
the enterprise is in a mineral bearing
zone. or that the development should
continue. Even a geological report of
actual facts, without conclusions
might serve the purpose. Such
agency could also be The medium be-
tween capital and the prospector
After it is once established hundreds
of inquiries will be received, some OF
which no doubt will be beneficial, both
to the State and to the individual
prospector.
n mr. ft. xNf
direct touch with capital and many
meritorious properties are lying idle
simply because the ordinary miner
has not sufficient funds to develop a
mine unless it pays from the grass
roots. This is especially true at the
present time when powder and sup
plies are beyond the reach of the av-
erage individual prospector.
Unless some state action is taken
TO encourage the development of min
ing during the coming years, fear
there will be depression owing to
the conditions above stated"
In the report it is shown that there
was a decrease in the number of ia
talities in Nevada mines in 1918 over
1917. although there were more men
employed in the mines in 1918 than
in 1917 In 1918 there were 6,295 men
employed with 26 fatalities: in 1917
there were 6,091 GOO less) with 81
fatalities. During the past ten years
the highest number of fatalities oc-
CURED in 1911, with a total of AZ.
After thoroughly covering the work
accomplished bettering conditions in
Nevada mines. Inspector Stinson con-
cludes his report with:
Il shall without doubt cause to be
introduced in the coming Legislature
bills affecting changes in the present
law covering details which have not
been mentioned here, and trust that
/ will have your full support in carry
ing them through. They will all be
for the better protection of the work
ing men in and about mines.
II wish, also. to again state that we
welcome the receipt of letters from
calling attention to those por-
tions of mines which they believe un-
safe. for who is in q better position to
detect details than the miner who
passes through the mine to and from
his work each day? And mines can
lend immeasurable aid to the inspec-
tor and owners by such cooperation,
with the ultimate result that their
own safety will be insured. The law
protects the miner in the matter of
such protest. in that complaints of
this character must be confidential,
as relates to the divulging
