THIS MAY REDUCE
HIGH COST OF COAL

Several Nevada men have perfected
a coal dust saving scheme that PROM
ises to revoluntionize coal mining, as
it will practically do away with all
waste and turn fine and low grade
Goals into commercial fuel.
The experiments have reached a
stage where outside concerns are ask
ing to get in and foreign countries
are asking for information on the sub
ject
Under the invention fine dusts and
low grade Goals such as are found il
Nevada, including the lignites, arc
ground. subjected to a concentrating
scheme, or rather a flotation action
which clears the coal of earth and ash
matters, leaving high product which
in turn is pressed into briquetts. 1t
has been found that no binder is nee
cSSdTy ana that the IllleS are cleared
OF the dust and n-inflammabe ma
tcrials it offers a superior quality OF
coal for all purposes.
Thousands OF tons of such low
grade Goals are found in practically
every state which promises within a
short time to be OF commercial value.
The discovery. it is said. came
from watching hotation processes on
ores. Oil being the base to catch the
fines and the oil is pressed from the
coal to be used over several times.
George Wingfield, Walter Trent and
number of other Nevadans are at
the head of this big scheme, which
is attracting attention all over the
Union and foreign countries where
the fuel problem is serious.-C Carson

secured a lease on lot Of emulsifed

When all oil we'll fills with water
it generally puts the oil out of bust
ness. but through a recent invention a
centrifugal separator is used. on the
plan OF a milk separator. which takes
the water out of the oil and renders it

Young Reading was hunched off on

BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION OF NEVADA

The Public Service Commission
has instituted proceeding against
the Southern Pacific Company, the
Western Pacific Railroad and the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, di
recting them to show cause why their
present intrastate, passenger fares OF
l-5-& cents per mile should not be
reduced to SO cents per mile and why
meals should not be served in their
espective diners at more moderate
prices.
The interstate passenger fares from
within to without and vice versa on
these railroads have been increased
20 per cent by the Federal Commits
sion's order in Elk Parte "a, effective
August 20, 1920, therefore, range from
rs cents to 7.2 cents per mile, while
10Th the interstate and state fares i'll
practically all other states are but SO
cents per mile Compared with pre-
war times the Nevada fNes are ex-
,eedingly high because all round trip
tares and scrip books have been with
drawn.
An application for reduction in
passenger fares was filed sometime
ago by the Commission of Arizona
Nevada and New Mexico directed
against the unreasonable interstate
rates. and is now pending before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Nevada case is set Tor hearing
at Carson City, Nevada. on December
Is. 1920 ut 1890 a m =, and all who are
interested i'll the question should ap-
pear at the hearing and demand their
rights. or write to the Nevada Rail
road Commission stating their views
fully.

TRAPPING SEASON
HAS OPENED

The trapping season this year has
opened very auspiciously, SO far as the
prospects for good catch of both
coyotes and bobcats is concerned.
and the quality of fur taken thus far
of both cats and dogs is exceptional
ly fine quality Trappers report that
in every direction coyotes are NUM-
erous, and being in the main young
ones are not as wary as the old gray
boards. The rabies seems to have
about run it course in this section, az
the pups and younger coyotes are
wearing fine, glossy coats. The price
of skins this season. however. is all
unknown factor. In November OF
each year. big fur sale is held III
London, which sets the price and in
dicates the demand for furs, and until
this sale is heard from the American
wholesalers are cautious about max.
ing offers No catalogues as yet
been issued by the dealers.

MONO LAKE OIL
LAND TO Be SOLD

Considerable interest is being mani
tested by oil men of Yerington on
reports concerning activities in the
Mono Lake oil fields.
The Mono Lake basin was the first
of the oil formations in this section OF
Califor MIA and Nevada to receive the
serious attention OF oil men, and drill
my operations have been in progress
ntermitcntly for the past dozen years,
an done we'll was shut off by boiling
water at depth OF 1000 feet
The past few months have seen
another revival of interest, and the
Survey yor- General of California has
been so favorably impressed with the
prospects in this field, that he has
ordered the sale, at p,sflic auction of
24,S24 acres of school lands in order
that the prospective oil development
thereon might not be delayed
The sale will be held in the supreme
court room of the Union League build
ing in Los Angeles under the direction
of w. S. Kingsbury, State Surveyor
General.
The reason for holding the sale in
Los Angeles is stated to be the proba-
bility of blustery weather in the Mono
basin during December.
J. +. Hastings is in possession oi
data concerning this section.

WILL THEY INCREASE
FARES AND FREIGHT.

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion hearing on advance rates and
fares which was originally set tor
Carson City on December |. 1920. has
been changed to Reno on December
9th This case involves the attack OF
the Nevada Railroads upon the Rail
road Commission OF Nevada on ac-
count of the refusal Of that Commis-
sion to grant horizontal increases on
intrastate business corresponding with
the 20 to so per cent horizontal in
creascs i'll rates and fares by the fed
cral commission i'll intertate business.
1t will be recalled that the railroads
at the hearing before the state COM
mission rrfused to submit any evidence
upon the issues. but it appeared that
the Nevada rates and fares were al
ready higher than those OF other
states. and. without any showing If
necessity for All increase, the applica-
ton was denied.
i MS case Is OI Vital llltclCSl W tIS
people OF Nevada and the coming
hearing will be one step in dctermin
ing whether the internal railroad mat
ters OF the state will be regulated by
local officials. or by federal officers in
Washington who cannot know and
will not be greatly interested in the
needs OF our people. In every case
where producers. shippers and con-
suincrs have an interest in rates and
5ares and in preserving their local
government. they should send at once
to the Railroad Public Service Com
mission. a strong statement regard
the matter aud requesting such ad-
ustment may be necessary to their
community or industries.

VALUES OF CLUBS

The value of the Churchill County
Commercial Club has been brought
home to the local minds on more than
one occasion, but never more emphat-
ically than in the case OF the motor
service. The basis of successful pro-
test against the abandonment OF the
service. rests with the commercial or
ganization which may be made still
more effective by more earnest cooper
alton on the part Of the local people
Like any other civic organization the
personnel of the club dictates its
effectiveness. There is really no limit
to the functioning OF such body
properly handled.-Fallon Standard.
