CARSON RATE HEARING
ALREADY BEARS FRUIT

The hearing on ore freight rates
which was held before the public SER
vice commission at Carson City No
vember Is and 10 has brought forth
good results and will be of pro-
nounced benefit to the mining inter
ests OF Nevada, and particularly the
prospectors.
Following the conference new tar
IFS were filed with the public SER
vice commission, effective tomorrow
which will make possible the ship
ment of ores in small quantities at a
freight rate 30 per cent in excess OF
the charges on carload lots. The new
rates filed by the Pacific freight tariff
bureau are binding upon all railroads
operating in Nevada and are the same
in principle as those withdrawn by
the carriers some time ago.
The conference called by the pub
lie service commission was attended
by prominent mining and railroad
men and the discussion of rates prov
ed most interesting.
The largest delegation present was
from Phoebe. which shows that the
men of that section are alive to all
things affecting mining. which is OF
such vital Importance to the pros
perity of Nevada.
At the opening of the session Chair
man Shaughnessy of the commission
said that in his opinion the time was
ripe for a general agreement on re-
adjustment of rates. He said that
rate schedules in effect had curtailed
shipment and thus deprived carriers
of revenue. Many letters to the COM
mission on the subject of freight
rates were read
1t was pointed out by one speaker
who addressed the conference that
ore shipments from Nevada in 1918
amounted to approximately 4S,0e0,-
900 tons; in 1919 and 1920, "a, ,00O,-
coo tons and the total tonnage for
1921 was estimated at 10000, ,0oG
tons.
Last Wednesday the public service
commission of Nevada received tel
egram from the general solicitor o
the National Association of Railwa,
Commissioners at Washington sayinf
that the Interstate commerce commits
sion had rendered a decision in the
Mason Valley Mines case. which was
seeking a reduction in joint rates fol
ores and concentrates moving from
easterns California points to the
smelter at Thompson, New.
By this decision the Western Pa
ci'ic and Southern Pacific railroads
are ordered to establish before Feb
ruary 23, 1922, on thirty days notice
Joint rates on ore and concentrates
from Engels and Paxton, Cal, to Wa
buska as follows:

Speaking of this latter decision the
Carson City News says: "The decis-
ion is of unusual Importance to Ne
vada, as it will result in the reopen
ing of the Mason Valley smelter with
in the next several months, or as soon
as they can install new reverbera-
tories at cost in excess of $500, 900.
1t will also result in the opening of
the mines in the Yerington district
and. in fact, the reopening of the
Sierra Nevada range in Nevada and
California.

Copper Shipments
Nearly Completed

Sixteen cars of blister copper from
the smelter al McGill were shipped
yesterday on the regular outgoing
freight train. This probably leaves
less than fifty cars OF the original
1C ,0Gn tons on hand. and Mt the same
rate that shipments have been made
recently all should be moved within
the next two or three weeks.
The remainder of the train was
made up of ten cars of feeder cattle
consigned to points in California,
where they will be fed for the mar
ket: one car of gold and silver ore
from the Lake Valley Mining Com
pany consigned to the United States
smelter at Midvale. Utah. and two
cars of local merchandise consigned
TO various points.

INvENTS new DEVICE
FOR AUTOMOBILES HERE

The Kehrer Distributing Company,
consisting Of Chase Kehrer and Emil
Stremlau of this city, and Frank
Koch of Arlington, New Jersey. has
been incorporated under the laws of
The State of New Jersey, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing Kehrer dis
tributors for automobiles.
The distributor Is designed espe-
cially for Ford cars. and it is claim
ed by the inventor that his article
will eliminate a great many troubles
now existing in the automobile by
reason of the imperfect timing de-
vices.
The distributor very much simpli-
fes the operation of the automobile
and 1t is claimed will save consider
able gas and at the same time give
more uniform and greater power.
Mr.. Kehrer has been working on
this invention for the past three and
one-half years. He received his pat
ent from Washington a few days
ago.
The company has been organized
to manufacture and sell the kehrer
Distributor. From present indica-
tions. it looks as If there will be a
great demand for this device. 1t has
been tested on a number of cars and
has worked very successfully. All
the parts used to make up this dis
tributor are manufactured in Perth

MEXICO
So intimately connected with the
history Of Audrain county, is that
of Mexico that necessarily a
portion Of its history is
woven into that of the county. 1t
was first incorporated by special act
of the Legislature, approved March 8,
1856. By this act it was styled The
Town of Mexico" and the corporate
limits confined to the original town
and the county addition as accepted
by the commissioners when the county
seat was located. The corporate
powers were vested in a board of trus-
tees, consisting of seven members
chosen by the qualified voters. This
board was authorized to select a chair
and also a town clerk, and the
court had power to appoint for
the town, a justice of the peace, who
should have the anne power as other
justices of the peace in Salt river
township. This board also had power
to appoint an assessor, collector,
treasurer, constable and any other Of
ficer as might be necessary. Of
course this board had power to enact
ordinances for the government of the
town. The act provided for the cleo
ton of the board of trustees on the
first Monday in April, 1855, but the
organization of the town under that
act, was neglected and as a conse-
quence the town was not oragnized
until the legislature passed an amend
ing act providing for the election of
the board of trustees yon the first
Monday in january, 1856. This act
also provided that the trustees hold
their offices for a period Of sfe year,
and for the election of trustees there
after.
