ALT CHARTz ON
THE DIVORCE LAW

Extreme cruelty in either party"
is the sixth ground for divorce in
the State OF Nevada, and it is nothing
different from most of other states
in the Union In Nevada. service
of summons may be obtained where
the defendant can be found. If the
defendant cannot be found i'll the
state, service can be had by publca-
ton, after residence of six months
i'll divorce cases. Residence can be
be obtaind as quick as successive
thought. 1t is a question of intention.
successive thought. There is not a
whimper in our statutes against col
lusion in divorce cases any more than
any other class of cases. Collusion
for a good purpose, lis encouraged
in all courts For instance, it is pro
per for dsputants with reference to
property rights, to collude one with
the other to settle their difference out
OF court and have DEGREES entered ac-
cordingly. But it would be improper
for bankrupt to give a preference,
and allow a judgement to be taken
against him for an unjust or illegal
claim. In para materia it is pro
per for husband and wife to collude
one with the other for one to obtain
a divorce from the other when there
a substantial and legal cause that
could not be defeated. In such cases,
the least the wrong doer can do to re-
pair the wrong is to submit for SER
vice of summons because wrong
can be repaired too soon. SO the
whole question of divorce depends up
on the grounds. or causes fort di-
vorce That question lies within the
breast of the chancellor. No one
can be convicted for perjury unless
they knowingly and falsely swear to
material matter In Nevada. it. is
immeterial whether person swcars
he intends to reside i'll Nevada. as it
is not material question in actions

RkWH|DE AGAIN
IN L|MEL|GHT

The old boom camp of Rawhide,
benefited largely by the high silver
prices and by the steady operations
OF lessees whose work is guide
to the geolgy and ore deposition i'll
the district, promises to play an inn
portant part in the production figures
in 1920, says the Nevada Mining
Press. Captain Alexander Proskey,
who spent several days i'll the camp
recently with L. F. Taylor, of New
York, says the mines are looking bet
ter than ever and that the lessees are
shipping ore Of good grade, with oc-
casional lots of high grade.
Captain Proskey has interested New
York men in the Regent mine, which
was discovered and worked before
the camp of Rawhide came into ex-
istance Operations have been re-
sumed at the Regent under the di-
rection of l.. F. Jordan, Tonopah
mine superintendent, and crosscut
is being driven to cut the big vein on
the 400'foot level of the shaft The
mine is equipped with hoist and air
compressor and the company owns
2O-stamp mill in Rawhide, about four
miles from the mine.
Fred c. Schaff, one of the veteran
lessees of Rawhide, is working the
Morning Star mine under lease from
the owners, Dunning, Grutt and
Mcleod Last week Schaff sent a
50-ton lot of ore to the sampler at
IIazen that sampled $50 per ton i'll
gold and 2l5 ounces silver. Included
in the shipment but sampled separ-
atcly, was 500 pounds of genuine
high grade, containing SO ounces of
gold and $50 ounces silver per ton
At the Nevada Victory mine Fred
Grutt has force of men working
on the 200,foot level, where a drift
is being made in nine-footvein.
Panings the last few feet show some
"colors.' indicating that an ore shoot
is near. The Victory is equipped
with l5-horse power gasoline hoist
and has a full complement of tools
in a substantial and well arranged
blacksmith shop.
Captain Proskey was told in Raw
hide that an eastern engineer mad
made an exhaustive examination of
the property of the Nevada New
Mines Company, and the impression
gained there was that he was favor
ably Impressed with the mines. 1t IS
believed that the property will soon
be reopened and mill constructed
near the mines Under the old re-
gime the ore was hauled by wagon to
the mill down on the flat, six miles

BIG WORK ON
NEVADA HIGHWAYS

Theofficers of~'the United States
land office il Carson City have been
notified that 100000 acres of Nevada,
lands have been designated as sub
ject to entry as stockraising home
steads,. says the Carson City news
The descriptions so designated i'll
cluds 81 tracts for which applications
have already been made by would'be
homesteaders.
1t is said that applications for
entry from the Carson City land Of
flee have been pending ever since
January, 1917. annd that applicants
have died while awaiting word Of ac-
tion of some kind or other by the
officials at Washington. 4 great
many who have filed papers and. paid
the required fee have grown tired OF
waiting and withdrawn their applica-
tions. For time the local office paid
not less than several hundred dollars
a month in refunds to persons who
come to the conclusion that prospects
of getting stock-raising homesteads in
their day and generation were slim.
1t is claimed that the delay was
due to the slowncss OF the u. S

ting around to pass up the lands as
to their value or non-value as miner
