ITO make matters worse con-

RICH TUSCARORA
STRIKE KEPT QUIET

Mrs. A. X. Rose, formerly owner of
the group of mining claims bearing
her name, is in Elko from Tuscarora,
says the Elko Free Press, and is au-
thority for the statement concerning
a recent rich strike which has been
kept quite by the owners. According
to Mrs. Rose, it was made in the
tunnel, about 300 feet in, and con-
sists of streak of quartz about FIVE
inches wide. gold being so plentiful
as to make the ore appear solid metal.
The tunnel is now in over 800 feet
and they expect to open up the big
ore shoot with every shot. The rock
has changed in character and now re-
sembles iron ore, very hard and diff
ficult to drill, but the men are making
good progress and should tap the big
ore body any day. Mrs. Rose sold
the claim last fall to the Rose Silver
Gold Mining Company, which COM
pany expects to install mill this
season.

will be one of the most active and
most important departments of the
chamber. with a capable staff and fa-
cilities for compiling statistics and
general information on mining in Ne

CASE MAY SETTLE
WATER QUESTIONS

An action that attorneys in the case
believe will result in the only sections
of the state water law, about which
there is any question as to constitu-
tionality, being passed upon, was
argued and submitted to the supreme
court Tuesday. The suit was one for
an injunction brought by w. C. Pitt
and associates oe Humboldt and Per-
shing counties, to enjoin J. G. Scrug-
ham, as state engineer, from adjudi-
eating rights and determining con-
tests. The constitutionality of the
adjudication and contest provisions
of the water law are attacked by Pitt
and associates. The case first was
heard before District Judge Hart, who
granted a temporary injunction pre-
venting the state engineer from pro-
ceeding in the adjudication of rights
and determination of certain contests
along the Humboldt river. A motion
to dissolve the injunction was made
in behalf of Scrugham and was
granted by Judge McFadden, to whom
the case was transferred. An appeal
was taken by Pitt and associates from
Judge McFadden's order and was ar
gued Tuesday Gazette.

THE SILVER STATE SEVENTY
ONE YEARS OLD THIS ISSUE

For long time people have been
asking how old The Silver State is.
The best information so far obtained
by the present owners is contained in
an issue of twenty-five years ago to-
day, in which 1t is stated this news
paper was forty-six years old then.
which means a present age of seventy
one years. Volume fifty-two appears
in the running head now, but that is
caused by time lost while the paper
was called Silver State News" etc.
Just what Nevada newspaper still be-
ing published is the oldest in this
state has not been learned, but it is
thought that if The Silver State is not
the oldest it is second in age.

POTATOES REPORTED AS BEING

With potatoes selling at $3.50 per
hundred pounds, says the Elko Free
Press, and almost impossible to OBJ
tain, even at that price, this mainstay
of the common people will soon be
found only on the tables of the rich.
Yesterday a man bought sack of
"spuds' at one of the local grocery
stores and Immediately shipped them
by express to San Francisco to a
friend who had telegraphed that none
could be obtained on the Coast. The
man paid $3.50 for the sack, and on
top of that the friend had to pay the
express. If reports are true. the res

PLANNING SUIT TO
ANNUL MARY'S CURE
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
THINKS SUIT WILL BE FILED
NEXT WEEKS BOYLE ALIBING
THIS STATE IN CALIFORNIA

The Reno Gazette says a suit to set
aside the decree of divorce granted to
Mary Pickford will be filed at Minden,
Douglas county, about the middle of
next week, Robert Richards, deputy
attorney-general, has announced.
The suit will be based on the con-
tention that Judge Langan was with
out jurisdiction in the case and that
the divorce was secured as result
of collusion and conspiracy.
The deputy attorney-general said
that he had practically completed his
investigations and that the result has
been that he is satisfied that ON ac-
count of the insufficiency of the resi-
dence of either party and the methods
used In conducting the case the court
failed to acquire any jurisdiction.
l will present the results of my
investigation to Attorney-General
Fowler" said Richards, land l am
convinced that the suit will be filed at
once.
1T probably will be filed about the
middle of next week and will be
brought in the district court of Doug
las county, where the decree was
granted"
Governor Boyle, who is in Sacra-
mento, gave out the following state
ment to the Sacramento Bee relative
to the Pickford case:
The people of Nevada are consider
ably worked up over the Pickford-
Moore divorce. 1t was such palpable
fraud that the people think an effort
was made to make joke of the states
judiciary.
ION the face of the proposition,
there certainly was collusion. Moore
and the sheriff chased each other
around the lanes of Gardnerville, the
sheriff armed with a summons and
Moore anxious to be served. until they
almost lost each other. Moore was
supposed to be in Gardnervill on
location
"The attorney-general and Judge
Langan, who granted the decree,
would be delighted to get the chance
to annul the divorce. The attorney
general Is earnestly investigating the
proceedings in the hope of finding
some way to cancel the divorce, while
Judge Langan is literally frothing at
the mouth.
Miss Pickford evidently is worried
over the turn in affairs, as have been
flooded with kilograms and letters
from influential people all over the
country. requesting me to use my
influence to call off the investiga-
tion."

HUMBOLDT MEN TO
ATTEND TAX MEET
MEETING CALLED BY GOVERNOR
CONFLICTS WITH REPUBLICAN
CONVENTIONS; 3 DELEGATES
FROM HERE TO BOTH MEETINGS

A lot of birds will be killed with
one stone in Reno the Gath of this
month. That is the date specified by
Governor Boyle in his call for a con-
vention of Nevada taxpayers in hope
of organizing a state taxpayers asso-
citation to include representatives of
all large tax-paying interests. In a
brief way of expressing the purpose
of the meeting, it is thought this
means will be used to settle the ever
arising question of who should stand
the brunt of taxation in Nevada, the
mining. public utilities, land, live
stock, banking, business, or town
property owners. 1t is interesting to
note the Governor chose the same date
as that set for the Republican state
With the governors call it is an
nounced that w. H. Abel of Paradise
Valley will represent livestock in
terests for the Humboldt County Tax
payers Association. Abel is also
likely to be named a delegate to the
Republican convention, complete cleo
ton returns not yet having been COM
piled. W. C. Noteware of Lovelock
has been named to represent the land
interests, accredited by the Nevada
Livestock Association, which organi-
zation will name one more represen-
tative from this district and will take
advantage of the meeting to hold
meeting of their executive committee.
C. L. Tobin of the First National Bank
is prominently mentioned and may be
the second representative named by
the Nevada Livestock Committee. He
is also almost sure to be delegate
to the Republican convention. NJ
Reinhart of the Winnemucca State
Bank & Trust Company will attend as
a member of the State Tax Commits
sion. His name appears near the top
of the list of Republican delegates.
Nothing has been said about ar
ranging time for the meetings, which
will not conflict.
