RADICAL CHANGES IN
j. S. MINING LAWS

The Times is i'll receipt OF the new
mining bill introduced i'll the United
States Congress by Samuel s. Arentz
on July r. The title OF the bill is
"To Revise, Amend and Codify the
Laws OF the u. S. Relating to the Lo-
cation OF Mining Claims on the Public
Domain
In letter accompanying the bill Mr..
AREN'T says:
IcriHgton Times.
Icrington. Nevada.
1t is not contended that this bill is
perfect as it now stands, 1t is, however
the result of careful study and investi-
CATION on the part Of the committee
of engineers appointed BY the director
Of the United States Bureau OF Mines.
Their integrity and sincerity is un-
questioned
1t is hoped that all who are inter
ested in the development OF the mineral
resources OF the Western States will
give this bill careful attention, time
and study. SO that when it is presented
to Congress for final passage it will as
nearly as possible effect tie purpose
for which it is designed.
Anyone can tear down. but what we
want is the structure improved in the
rebuilding We invite specific COM
ment and constructive criticism from
everyone interested in this subject. Ad-

OPTIMISTIC TURN IN
POTATO MARKET

Potato growers are looking forward
to better market than indicated ear
lier in the season. Prices at Los
Angeles where the early potato crop
of California is produced were very
low for both growers and shippers
especially the farmer, A few early cars
were bought from growers at prices
higher than $l.00 per 100 lbs; but as
soon as active diging started the mar
ket slumped severely and by June 23rd
the prevailing price was $l.00 per 100
lbs 1t declined gradually to 75c per
100 fbs. At one time the market slump
ed so badly that few cars were pur-
chased for SEC per 100 lbs Only once
after the season opened was there
any real advance, which was on July
lS and 49, when few cars changed
hands at $40 per 100 lbs.
Taken as whole it has been dis
aSterous season for Southern California
growers. The quality has been only
average and III some cases poor, while
the price has averaged less than the
cost of production. A late frost cut
down the yield per acre and a heavy
rain during the growing season re-
suited in considerable second growth
or knobby potatoes. Many fields were
not dug on account Of low price com
bined with poor crop.
However, market reports on Aug,
10th from San Francisco which is the
principal market for Mason Valley
spuds no longer show depression
New river potatoes are quoted at $2,OO
and $3.50 and shipments have been
steady. The strong demand may be
temporary but is holding up so far and
market reports from San Francisco
dated Aug. 18th quote potatoes at S2.75
and $375 street prices.
According to word received at the
Farm Bureau office the bureau OF crop
estimates on Aug. lst., it was esti-
mated that this years potato crop
would be $40 million bushels for the
United States. This is a reduction OF
81 million over the July estimate II
will be interesting to note that the
crop estimate for this year is only
65.8 per cent. OF normal crop. The
average normal crop for five years
was 81 million bushels. From the
July estimate all states listed have re-
duced their estimate with the eNcep-
ton OF Colorado in whidh the full CROP
expected. Potatoes were selling II
Idaho on Aug Sth and 9th for IRON y
to 2.35 per hundred the larger ship
ments going to Chicago, Denver Lar
annie, Forth Worth, Cheyenne and
Butte.

punctured the lungs, while other intern

Louis Ferguson, who drove the 1ria-

accountable as the machine, when it
went over the grade. plunged at least
50 feet down one of the steepest en-
bankments OH the road. The auto was
absolutely lost to sight, being buried
in the thick underbrush iii the gulch.
Had both men been killed myster-
ions disappearance would have been
chronicled, as no one witnessed the
accident and there were no evidences
on the roadside OF one having taken
place.

MISS SHANKS To

Role in Going to Cam

WON'T GET UP AT
4 A. M. TO MILK

CAMBRIDGE. Nd, oct. 4.-Miss
Hilda Shanks, II years old, Of
Verona. N. j., is not going to re-
verse the fairy story of Cinderella.
She is not going to leave her foster
parents and their beautiful home to
live with her father, Edward Mar
shall, farmer. as has been reported.
The story was that Hilda. who
had lived a life OF pampered lux
ury' because Of the love lavlshed on
her by her foster parents, was ex-
pected Ito return to her fathers
quiet home near Cambridge to take
up life and experience at first hand
the sensation of waking up at a.
m. to help do the chores" The rea-
son given was that her aunt, Mrs.
Louis r. Shanks, and her husband,
well-to-do people of Verona, who
have been mother and father to
Hilda since the death of her mother
when she was 3. had written to
Hilda's father telling him of Mr..
Shank's illness and asking him to
take Hilda for the winter.
The inference was that this would
be a hardship for Hilda. but the folk
down in Maryland who thought out
that story didn't know Miss Shanks
