The restriction which most seri-

CONGRESSMAN EVANS
RETURNS TO HOME
FINDS HE is PRESIDENT Or
FOUR DIVIDE COM
PANIES

Congressman Charles r. Evans
returned to his home town today
from Washington, the president of
four Divide mining companies, one
of which he learned the name Of
only since his arrival here. The
congressman's return at this time
was due largely to his inability tn
remain in the east with a mining
excitement such as the Divide
boom within a few miles of Gold
field and says he intends to spend
all his spare moments in southern
Nevada while attending the next
session of congress. His family is
still in Goldfield and will accom-
pany him on his return to Wash
ington.
Mr.. Evans answered many in
quiries today regarding his airplane
flight from Washington to New
York, an account of which recent
ly was carried in ASSOCIATED Press
dispatches.

not required to SO inform consum-

THE increasing magnitude of
the goat market may be somewhat
attributable to the fact that goats

Goats are coming to market here

SWEDEN OPENS
COAL DEPOSITS
MAY AID IN SOLVING DIFFI-
CULT INDUSTRIAL UROB-
LEM

LONDON, April 10. - Deposits
of coal in Sweden, discovery OF
which was reported recently from
Stockholm, may help to solve one
of Sweden's most difficult indus
trial problems.
Sweden has an almost inexhaust-
ible supply of very fine iron ore
and Swedish scientists for years
have unsuccesfully attempted to
devise means of working 1t by
electricity. With a coal supply at
home it is pointed out that Sweden
has an opportunity to become one
OF the greatest industrial countries
of the world.

The rising cost Of labor in Great
Britain already has placed England
at a disadvantage with the United
States in the Italian coal trade,
and II Sweden could produce coal
in quantities warranting export she
doubtless would become a competi.

The coal contained in the new
ly discovered Swedish deposits is
