oil LEASING LAW IS
BEFORE CONGRESS

Because of so< many inquiries
relative to the general leasing bill.
particularly with regard to oil lands.
have been received. Senator Key Pitt
man of Nevada has volunteered the
following in formation on this subject.
On August Is, 1919, the committee
on public lands of the senate unani-
mously approved senate bill 2775, en-
titled, "A bill to promote the mining
of coal, phosphate, oil, gas, and
sodium on the public domain" This
bill has been placed on the senate
calendar and made unfinished busi-
ness. All other bills on this subject
have been laid aside.
The purpose of this bill is to open
up all withdrawn oil, coal. phosphate
and sodium lands for acquisition un-
der the terms of the bill. There are
two phases of the bill: One pro-
vides for q lease, not to exceed $40
acres, on known oil lands; the other
phase is to grant to a prospector q
prospecting permit for two years on
1850 acres on land not proven to be
oil land. If the prospector dis
covers oil within two years he is
given lease ON one-fourth of the
land upon five per cent royalty, and
a preference right to lease the re-
naming three-fourths upon q 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.
eral placer mining law. They are
located in exactly the same manner
that placer gold claim would be
located. If. however, when the act
goes into effect. which will probably
be in about two or three weeks, a
discovery has not been made upon
the oil claim, then the locator simply
has a preference right to prospect
ing permit under the bill. If dis
covery has been made before the pas
sage of the Leasing bill. then the To-
Gator can go to patent under the
present existing mining laws.

TWO INJURED WHEN
COUPLING BREAKS

Injured when a Southern Pacific
freight train parted while running,
conductor d. G.. Kinnell and Brake
man c. L. Tuthill were taken from the
train when it reached Winnemucca,
going to the county hospital for
medical attention.
The accident occurred at o'clock
yesterday afternoon when the train
was near Valmy. The sudden stop
of the train, due to the breaking of
a coupling knuckle and consequent
severing of the air-brake hose. threw
both men from the top of the cupola
of the caboose to the bottom of the
car. a distance of perhaps six feet.
Several cars were derailed.
Kinnells head was severely cut.
Tuthill sustained painful injuries to
his back. So severe were their in
juries the attending physicians re-
fused to allow them to continue to a
company hospital last night. None
of the other members of the crew
was hurt.
Both Kinnell and Tuthill left on
train No. S today for Sparks. Though
their injuries are not considered
serious, they may be sent to San
Francisco for treatment in the com
pany hospital there.

ELKO PRINCE NINE
FULLY DESCRIBED

A detailed description of the mine
and milling plant of the Elko Prince,
located near Midas. is contained in a
paper presented at the September
t1918) meeting of American Institute
of Mining Engineers and reprinted as
a seven page article in the latest is
sue of the Salt Lake Mining Review.
The article reads in part as follows:
The Elko Prince mine is in the Gold
Circle district, Nevada, about one and
one-half miles from the town of Midas,
fifty-five miles west of Battle Noun
tain and fifty miles northeast of Col
conda. The district is described by
Emmons in the United States Geolo-
gical Survey Bulletin in 408. 1910.
Little was said of the Elko Prince,
however as only small amount Of
work had then been completed.
The geological structure Of the re-
gion is simple. The oldest exposed
formation covering most of the erea,
which has a light-colored devitrifier
ground-mass enclosing phenocrysts of
feldspar. quartz and magnetic. 1t
has been somewhat weathered and
partially stained with oxide of iron.
There are several outcrops of fandesite
which cut .he rhyolite. The ore de-
posits occur in fissure veins, replace
ment veins, and sheeted zones. The
Elko Prince vein is OF the first type.
The rhyolite near the veins is silici-
fed, stained with oxide of iron, and,
at some localities, replaced by ore. or
Is so permeated by metals as to be
classed as ore. The vein consists
chiefly Of quartz, and the values con-
sist entirely of gold and silver. Part
of the gold exists as the native metal
and part is associated with pyrite.
Silver occurs free as argenite in band
ed streaks through the vein. These
veins trend in a northwesterly direc-
tion, with dips varying from sixty
five degrees to the vertical.
Gold was discovered in the district
in the fall of 1907, and characteris-
tic rush followed. The town of Midas
was laid out and shortly had 1000
inhabitants. Several small mills were
built, one of which, the Rex, ran sew
eral years. After the first excitement
the people drifted away rapidly. and
at present only about $50 remain. The
Elko Prince claims were located in
1907 by Paul Prince, a prospector, and
ten claims were patented in 1913 after
considerable work had been done.
The property was purchased in 1908
by the Elko Prince Mining Company,
l.. L. Savage, president, and was ex-
tensively developed between 1911 and
1915.
The outcrop of the Prince vein is
insignificant, only a narrow seam of
low grade quartz, or an obscure fis-
sure containing no quartz or metals.
The first work on the property was a
sixty-foot shaft sunk on the cropping.
A narrow seam of mineralized quartz
was followed. but nothing of impor-
tance was found; then a 240-foot drift
on the vein gave similar results. Lat
er, a 700-foot crosscut reached the
vein 270 feet below surface. and cut
an ore shoot almost in the center.
Subsequent work developed a vein
having an average width of fourteen
to fifteen inches, total tonnage of

FREE GOLD FOUND
IN PARADISE CANYON

Finding of ore carrying values Of
from 81 to $50 a ton in free gold is
reported by Domingo Laucerica. who,
with his son, has been here several
days ON business connected with the
find.
The ledge, he said, is from two and
one-haf to twelve feet wide, and was
found in Paradise Canyon, south Of
Paradise Hill. Because portion of
the vein is on a Southern Pacific
section an effort is now being made
to negotiate with company officials for
permission to operate the property.

ury certificates program might be
varied at opportune times by the sub
stftution of issues of tax certificates.
This obviously is an opportune time,
and accordingly the treasury is offer
ing two series of so-called tax GER

1919, series to. maturing March Is,
1920, and bearing interest at the rate
of four and one-cuarter per cent. and

of four and one-half per cent, pay

to say definitely when semi-monthl%

sumed. nor upon what terms they will
be issued; but such issues will GER
tainly not be resumed before Octo-
Der 18th, and the minimum amount
offered should not exceed $3.50, 000,0 900.
I'm view OF the important fact that
now for the first time in over year
certificates fof series To, maturing
March 15th), are offered at a lower
rate than four and one half per cent,
