HERBERT BURDIcK
SERIOUSLY INJURED

While working In a winze OF the
Eureka-Croesus mine on Prospect
mountain last Sunday forenoon, Her
bert Burdick was very seriously in
jured when an ore bucket loaded with
rock became uncoupled as II was be-
ing hoisted and dropped back a dis
tance Of about Is feet, striking Bur-
dick on his left side and back. This
bucket completed the loose rock in
the shaft. and Burdick was fortu-
nately STOPPING over and engaged in
cleaning up the bottom when the
bucket fell.
An examination by DR.. Bren.en
disclosed that two ribs on the left
side had been broken aid had pune
tured the lung; the left hip bone
cracked, and the muscles Of the back
severely confused. Burdick was
brought down to his home in Eureka.
and the Doctor reports that he is now
getting along very nicely and no SER
ious after effects are anticipated from
his injury. He is still compelled to
recline in an upright position, and
the Doctor states II will be some six
weeks or more before he is able to be
up and around.

SHEEHAN, HOLDS THE
BALANCE OF POWER

That Senator Sheehan OF Humboldt
County is in q particularly powerful
position In the upper House of the
Nevada Legislature is shown by the
following special dispatch from Car
son to the Reno Gazette: 7s
Few members of the Senate or
Assembly realize Just how near the
Republicans came to- failing in organ
izing the Senate Monday. As q mat
ter of fact they had no assurance of
clear majority till a very short time
before the caucus was held to deter
mine on the president pro tempore
and the appointment OF attaches.
Neglect on the part of any OF the
Republican members to invite ].
sheehan, elected in Humboldt Coun-
ty on an Independent ticket, to sit in
the Republican caucus was RESPONSE
BILE for the mixup. AS a matter of
fact the Republican caucus only con
tanned eight members, one short of a
clear majority. But Sheehan. who
was communicated with by telephone
Sunday afternoon, indicated his will
ingness to help the Republicans or
ganize the upper House. provided his
desires on committee appointments
were gratifled. AS a matter of fact.
Senator Sheehan made no demands
that were unjust and the Republicans
lost no time in making deal with
him. f5s>
Owing to the absence of Senator
Ducey the Democrats would have
been unable to organize the Senate
had Senator Sheehan found it incon-
yenient to line up with the Rapuh-
licans."

INCREASE DEFEATED

The National House of Represen-
tatives has voted against increasing
the number of its members. The
present membership is 435, and it
was proposed to increase the number
to 4S3. The Government will save a
million dollars or more annually by
reason OF the decision and there will
be less bother when the House is try
ing to enact legislation. More rep
resentatives from the congested CEN
ters of population would not add to
strength of Congress II fitness be
considered the guiding star. In the
days OF Reed. Dingley and Boutelle
the little State OF Maine was much
more powerful In the House than
New York, with all her representa-
tives, and It is not so many years ago
that a galaxy of Iowa stars outshone
the representatives Of the big cen
trail and eastern commonwealths. We
all remember the influence Of Dolli-
yer, Henderson. Hepburn. Cousins.
Hull and their colleagues. and we can
readily subscribe to the theory that
1t is quality. and not quantity. that
counts when legislators are consid-
cred, as we'll as In many other cases.
While we do not believe the public
was greatly interested in the fate OF
the reapportionment bill. we are. new
ertheless. quite confident that the
verdict of the House will meet with
approval.
The Salt Lake Tribune says Utah
will not lose representation under
the new arrangement. Missouri,
however. will lose two representa-
tives, and Indiana. Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Mississ-
ippi, Nebraska. Rhode Island and
Vermont one each. On the other
hand, California will gain three !;
Michigan, two; Ohio. two. and Con-
necticut. New Jersey, North Carolina
Texas and Washington. one each, the

BANKERS REPORT EUREKA
BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD

Winnemucca Star: ]. sheehan
and ]. @. Moore OF the First National
Bank returned Wednesday night from
Eureka. where they had been. to look
after business in the Eureka bank. of
which Mr.. Sheehan is president. Mr..
Sheehan speaks In very optimistic
terms OF business conditions in Eu-
reka and says the county in general
is very prosperous. Mining condi-
tions are very good there, he said,
and with the development work in
progress on some 81 the big mines of
the districts a greater production may
be looked for in the near future. He
stated that Eureka County had many
fine ranches and among the best
ranching and stockraising sections Of
the State.
He said that C. j. Travers, cashier
of the Eureka Bank, and Mrs. Trav-
ers. were well contented there and
liked the place very much. Both are
former residents Of Winnemucca and
wished to be remembered to their
many friends here.
Mr.. Sheehan, who is the new State
Senator from Humboldt County, is to
leave for Carson City Sunday.

NffADA SHEEPHERDERs'
WAGES CUT TO $50

Wages paid to sheepherders and
camptenders by the large live stock
concerns with headquarters in Elko
County are to be reduced to $50 per
month on February according to q
statement given out by II. A. Agee.
of Wells, Nevada. president Of the
Oxyoke Land and Live Stock Com
pany and also of the Steptoe Live
Stock Company.
The reduction has been approved
according to Mr.. Agee. by the Utah
Contraction Company. o'Neil Bros.
the Union Land and Cattle Company.
the companies represented by him
self and number Of other concerns
in that section. and is expected to be
adopted by the smaller outfits with
out delay.
"At present wages paid to these
classes range from SIS to $50 per
month";" Mr.. Agee said. but they
reached that figure when wool was
selling from SO to Sc cents q pound
and when living conditions we're en-
tirely different from those prevailing
at the present time. Most OF the out
flts are now paying $75 per month.
but such wages cannot be continued
IL the sheep industry is to survive
and the owners escape bankruptcy.s
According to Mr.. Agee. Eastern Ne
vada sheep companies are unabie to
dispose of their wool except at .
heavy financial loss. =
I'VE were recently offered twenty
three cents q pound for q lot of
graded fine and medium-fine wool
which we have in a Boston ware
house." ne said, (which is equiva-
lent to 20 cents in Nevada for these
grades, and which would mean a
price of from IL to i3 cents pound
upon the lower grades of Nevada
wool. We could not accept the offer
but it was interesting as an index to
the present state of the American
wool market"
Eastern Nevada. says Mr.. Agee,
has had an excellent Winner. The
ranges are in good condition and
there has been an abundance OF snow.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
LET'S TRY AGAIN

Elko Independent: At the last
session of the Nevada State Legisla-
ture a most meritorious bill was re-
ported out of committee favorably.
That meant that when it reached the
two Houses it would become a law.
The bill provided for the establish
ment Of State smelter. Before the
bill could be gotten out of the COM
mittee a member thereof put 1t In his
pocket and took French leave. Aa a
consequence the bill with its far
reaching benefits for miners and pros
pectors of this State, never saw the
light. 1t is needless to say, Of course.
that the gentleman who eloped with
the bill was nicely rewarded by the
smelter interests OF our sister State,
Utah.
There seems to be but one draw
back to favorable reconsideration
of the Act at this session, that draw
back at all times of course being con-
sidered without regard to the eco
nomic status of the States finances.
II the plant of the Silver State
Chemical Company Is erected at Win
nemucca it is generally conceded that
the demand for a smelter will be re-
moved for the Winnemucca people
will be able to reduce all sorts of ores
to every valuable basis and will be
generously patronized by all Nevada
mining men. II this plant is not
erected. however. the mining men Of
the State are entitled to ask for such
a plant in Nevada.
The small leaser and prospector in
this State has been horn swoggled
and sand bagged too long. The smelt-
er has filched our small operators,
and our big ones as well, out of a
decent return upon their time and la
Dor for the last fifty years. The In
dependent actively supported this bill
two years ago. and unless the finan-
cial condition Of the State makes 1t
out of the question to build the
smelter at this time, we are going to
support the bill again. and every
newspaper in the State ought to do
the same thing.
During our former comments in IA
vor of the State smelter bill we called
attention to several concreteinstances
where mining men had been little
short of robbed on their ore returns.
The ore is there and the value Is
there In every shipment sent to the
smelter from this State. Where does
that value go? Into the pockets OF
the smelter men. There are hun
dreds, yes thousands of mining prop
critics in this State that would pay
their owners wages. and good wages
II an honest deal from the smelteI
were assured them. A State smelter
operated upon q legitimate basis oi
returns. would be the greatest ster
toward developing the mining indus
try ever registered in Nevada. II
the Act comes up again for attention
guard should be placed over tbs
bill so that no Representative Of ths
people" can steal It.

The roads to the mine have been

!, account of drifting snow, and the
"a shipments have been delayed for
~. reason. 1t is expected that the
,ssms can commence hauling to the

The mine workings are proceeding
through favorable ground, and there

report.
The last raise in railway and smelt-
a, charges has caused the manage
meut OF the Eureka-Croesus to fur
ther investigate the problems that
must be considered in the erection of
their mill next Spring for the treat
msut Of the various kinds OF ore that
are now extracted from the mine.
Ne Accompany has made extensive re-
searches and experiments in this mat
ter. and a compilation of the results
indicates that a large portion Of the
higher grade ore can be milled at the
mine at much smaller expense than
is now incurred by sending II to the
smelter. There are exposed In diff
ferent places in the underground
workings, many tons of low grade
lead ore, that carries fair values in
gold and silver. that can be treated
very successfully by the cyanide
method. There is now being worked
out a process fof milling that will
yield satisfacir-v returns on both the
high and meolum grades OF ore. and
all details of the mill plans will be
ready as soon as the mill construc-
ton can begin In the Spring.
EUREKA-HOLLY
At the Holly mine this week two
shifts Of miners and muckers are
kept busy driving drift on the 600
foot level to get under the known ore
body, while the other men OF the un-
derground force are engaged in other
work. Another large dynamo is be-
ing installed to supply additional
lights for the surface mine plant, the
new mill and the underground work
ings. Bad weather and drifting snow
has somewhat retarded the hauling
OF ore to the local railway depot.
Two brick masons arrived from
Salt Lake City Friday to lay the a.
600 new fire brick in the furnaces
and roasters of the new mill plant.
and 1t is now figured that the new
mill will be completed and ready for
Its initial run about February Is.
