GOVERNMENT STATIONS
FOR ELKO COUNTY

Elko Free Press: Three valuable
stations, two thoroughbreds and one
Arabian, arrived in Elko Christmas
day from Front Royal, Virginia, af-
ter being on the road for Fl days.
Four animals were shipped but one
contracted pneumonia en- route and
died on the road. These animals are
shipped to different sections of the
country by the cavalry branch OF the
army for the purpose of inducing the
stockmen to breed a strain of horses
suitable for cavalry purposes and at
the same time to eliminate what is
known as the "buzzard" type, a cross
between a mustang and heavy draft
Last week Major Holiday of Sac
ramenti, and Chester Bremen, man
ager of the Elko Farm Bureau, made
a trip through the country inspecting
the mares in the different valleys,
with a view of placing the stations,
and on the arrival of the stations a
representative from each valley was
notified to come to Elko to meet with
Major Holiday and make choice of
the three stations.
These stations are very valuable
animals, and are placed with the
stockmen for use without cost, and
are to be used by the stockmen who
obligate themselves to care for the
animals, the Government asking only
that they be given an opportunity to
buy the colts when they have reached
the age of four years, agreeing to pay
the market price.

LYNN MINE OWNER
ARRESTED FOR BICAMY
PrOmiscuOus Attention to Ladies
Causing Trouble for Eureka
County Promoter

Elko, Dec. 27.-On charges of vio-
lating the Mann Act and of bigamy,
Charles S. Seymour, a we'll known
mining promoter Of Eastern Nevada
and son of Mrs. Caroline Seymour,
prominent Carlin resident, was ar
rested at Lynn, Eureka County, last
week by Federal officers. Seymour
was arraigned in Salt Lake City last
Friday before H. Y. VanPelt, United
States Commissioner, and released on
$4,000 bail. His case has been set
for hearing on January 19 at Salt
Lake City.
Seymour is said to have wife and
child living at Los Angeles, Califor-
mia. United States officers say they
have been hunting for him for a
year. The information on which the
complaint against him is based was
given by Helen Witt, an Atlantic
City, N. j., woman, who represented
to the officers that Seymour travelled
with her through a number of East
ern States, taking her to Washington,
D. c., Baltimore, Nd, and Philadel-
phia, Pa, finally marrying her at Ell
licott City, Md, June 8, 1919. She
claims he deserted her at Chicago 10
days after the marriage.
On December II, 1920, Seymour
is alleged to have come to Elko with
a woman and to have registered at an
Elko hotel as r. X. Sears and wife of
New York City. He then went to his
mothers home near Carlin from
which place he was later taken by
United States officers to Salt Lake
City for arraignment.

MINE ASSESSMENT
UNDER NEW ACT

Asserting that assessment work on
mining and shale claims now comes
under the provisions of the new Leas-
ing Act, and, therefore, becomes
question for the land office to deter
mine, Clay Tallman, Commissioner of
the United States general land office,
Friday gave out statement, through
Harry Lindsey, Denver attorney, ex-
planning the purpose of the assess
ment provision says the Denver Post
of Saturday.
"Mr. Tallman says that assessment
work is such work as tends to i'm
prove claim or a group of contig-
uous claims and that such work per-
formed on one of group may be
considered as applicable to the entire
group, provided all are benefited
thereby" the Posts article contin-
ues. ''The improvement need not
necessarily be made on the claim it
self, according to Commissioner Tall
man, but will be allowed as assess
ulent work if it is done near enough
the claim to benefit the latter and if
it is patent that such is the purpose
of the work"
A diamond drill hole for testing
purposes may be applied for patent
Improvement. it is held by the de-
partment, since such holes are analo-
gous for assessment work, the Post
says.
''Under section thirty-seven of the
Leasing Act" Tallman said, "the per-
formance of assessment work be-
comes a question for the land de-
partment, for that section excerpts
from the effect of the leasing act
only valid claims existing at the
date of passage of this act and, there
fore, maintained in compliance with
the laws under which the claim is in
itiated'"

I enacted bill. The Arizona Senator
said claim jumpers were sitting like
blackbirds on a fence waiting to
jump the claims at midnight Friday
night if the new bill was vetoed by
the President.
Senator Ashurst said that If the
President vetoed the bill at the last
minute, holders of mining claims
would lose their property, as the law
requiring that the assessment work
be done before midnight, December
81. If it is done then "elaim jump
ers" could take possession, he said.

After maintaining his "siege" for
more than an hour the Senator start

Henderson Explains Need of Action
Wednesdays Reno Gazette says
Henry Rives, secretary of the Nevada
Mine Operators Association, received
telegram to-day from Senator Hen
derson saying that the latter called
on President Wilson yesterday to
urge the necessity of prompt action
on the bill extending time to do the
1920 assessment work on mining
claims to July 1, 1921, but was told
that owing to the fact that it was the
Presidents birthday no action would
be taken. The Senator urged on the
Presidents secretary the necessity for
prompt action and was promised that
the matter would be taken up with
the chief executive to-day. Senator
Henderson expressed the belief that
the bill would be signed to-day.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator AS
hurst, Democrat, Arizona, went to
the White House to-day for the pur-
pose getting what he described as a
frank and manly" announcement
from President Wilson as>to whether
the executive would sign the bill ex-
tending for six months the provision
of the law requiring 500 worth Of
work on mining claims before mid
night on December 81.
Contradictory Information
The Senator went first to the execu-
tive offices where he was told that
the President had the bill. He then
went to the White House and said he
was told there that the bill was at
the executive offices.
Returning to the executive Offices,
the Senator took a seat with the an
nounced purpose of remaining until
he got some sort Of statement as to
what the President proposed to do
with the bill.
Must File Notices
Senator Ashurst said that, while
there was nothing in the newly enact
ed bill about the filing of notices by
claimants with the county recorders,
yet such notices are required by the
old law suspending assessment work
during the war.
He said they must file notices set
ting forth that the assessment work
has been done or that exemption is
claimed under the new bill.

Senators from Western States have

EUREKA NEVADA. JANUARY l. 1921
FORMER EUREKAN WILL
LOCATE AT SAN FRANCISCO

Mondays Ely Times says Ed Whit
more, who has been making an ex-
tensive trip in the East on business,
returned to Ely to spend the holi-
days with his parents.
Mr.. Whitmore in speaking of the
business conditions in New York and
Boston said that many of the largest
stores and factories were preparing
to suspend business for at least sixty
days in order to meet the readjust-
ment which was in full swing in the
eastern cities, but he said that there
was no alarm felt among business
men, as all realized that the period
of inactivity would be only tempor-
ary, and that when conditions be-
came normal again business would
be on a sounder basis than for years,
and would move ahead steadily.
Mr.. Whitmore has resigned his po-
sition as manager of the Lincoln
Highway Garage and will leave for
San Francisco in the morning, where
he will engage in business for him
self. The firm will be known as
Whitmore & Co., and will handle
California food products. The busi-
ness will be in the nature of COM
mission business and will represent
New York merchants in the purchase
of California products. The firm will
specialize in butter, eggs and poul-
try and will have Offices both in New
York and San Francisco. M. M.
Johnson will have charge of the Now
York end of the business and Mr..
Whitmore the San Francisco house.
Mr.. Whitmore and Mr.. Johnson
have made a thorough investigation
of the possibilities of this business
and both feel confident of success.
The business is not an experiment, as
Mr.. Johnson has tried it out in San
Francisco for the last year and met
with such success that they decided
to extend the business by opening a
house in New York.

NEW COUNTERFEIT
FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES

Attention is called to new counter
felt SIS Federal Reserve notes, de-
scribed by the Treasury Department
as follows:
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia, check letter "B"; face
plate No. 144; Carter Glass, Secre-
tary of the Treasury; John Burke,
Treasurer of the United States; por-
trait of Lincoln.
This counterfeit is apparently
printed from photo-mechanical plates
of amateurish workmanship, on two
pieces of paper, between which few
red silky threads have been distrib-
uted, to supplement the imitation
threads printed on the back of the
note. The blue seal on the specimen
at hand is too heavy, and the lines
are not we'll formed. The number on
this specimen is C-2014252S-A, the
figures of which are we'll formed and
printed, the blue ink used smears un-
der the wetted finger. The portrait
of Lincoln is poor, and should lead
to the ready detection of the counter
felt.
On the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Chicago; check letter "D"; face plate
No. 143; W. G. McAdoo, Secretary
of the Treasury; John Burke, Treas
urer of the United States; portrait of
Lincoln.
This counterfeit Is printed from
hoto-mechanical plates, of poor
workmanship, on fair quality OF
paper, without silk threads or imita-
ton of them. The number of the
specimen at hand Is G-3061324-A.
The figures of this number are large
er than the genuine, and more wide
ly separated. The portrait of Lin
coin is much darker than the genuine.
The seal is green, instead of blue.
The back of the note is more decept-
i've than the face.
