give Mr.. Voight all opportunity to
compare this basin with. some of
the present producing coal and oil
basins in Wyoming.
Mr.. Voight, who had been in this
section i'll charge OF crew of G. l.. O
surveyors, had heard frequent state
nents regarding the very marked
similarity between the oil andcoal

Wyoming, and having surveyed and

trip on Sunday to satisfy his curiosity.
On reaching the basin he very soon
saw the same sandstone and sha1es
and other formation as he had plated
in Wyoming, and after reaching the
the PIT being sunk on the coal vein
identified the surface Ignite of some
what shalely structure as exactly
similar to the Wyoming deposits. On
going down the incline with Mr.. Lewis
the party saw that at point about

Mr.. Voight, from high point, looked
over the dome arrangement of the
basin, and said it bore the most re-
markable similarity to one of the best
producing basins he had surveyed in
Wyoming. as above stated.
Our latest information is that the
coal is now Dituminous and of good
commercial character. and Mr.. Lewis

BOSTON COMMERCIAL LETTER

Following a fractional reaction i'll
prices and week OF comparative
dullncss, copper has become firm
again at producers prices OF 13 cents
for Lake and II 3-4 to l3 cents per
pound for electrolytic. No great
amount Of new business in finished
copper products has as yet developed
because of the slight improvements III
building operations, or the ambitious
plans of many public utilities.
Building operations are still hamper
cd by high labor and capital costs
nd public utilities must first finance
heir plans ior expansion. The Ger
man situation remains practically un-
changed although recent develop
ments give rise to the belief that some
sort OF settlement will be arrived at.
in which case buying OF copper from
thai quarter OF the world should ma
teriaily increase.
AS near as can be learned deliveries
of copper in April amounted to rising
7O,OOO,OOO pounds or about one hundred
ten million pounds including foreign
deliveries. These deliveries slightly
exceeded domestic production. AS
many of the announced shut-downs
of copper properties were to take ef-
feet in April, the next few months
should see steadily declining smelter
output until by midsummer not over
bO,OOO,OcO pounds OF new copper, in
cluding imports, should be coming for
ward per month. At that time the
statistical improvement OF the metal
should be clearly discernable to the
consumers.-From the Boston Com
mercial, May Z 1921.

RITA D. MILLAR is
MINERAL CO. RECORDER

Holding that failure to allege that
the contestant is a qualified elector
was fatal, the supreme court Saturday
reversed the district court Judgment
declaring Mrs. Agnes B. Crownover
the duly elected recorder and ex-
officio auditor of Mineral county. and
holds that Mrs. Rita ID. Millar is
entitled to the Office.
This case has been Ipending i'll the
Supreme Court for more than six
months and during the greater part of
this time Mrs. Millar has resided in
Yerington She will leave for Haw-
thorne to assume her duties at the end
of the present week.
Mrs. Millar was elected at the No
vember election by three votes on
the face OF returns made by the vari-
Gus precinct boards OF MineralI
county. Mrs. Crownover instituted
contest and the district judge, after
the recount, gave her certificate OF
election finding that 800 legal votes
had been cast in her favor and 3O4 for
Mrs Millar. From this Judgment
Mrs. Millar appealed. A demurrer
to the statement of the contestant
Mrs Crownover, was interposed and
the supreme court holds that II
should have been upheld. 1t Is
pointed out that the contest was
brought under the provisions OF Sec
tions 68 and 70 of the 1917 law pro.
viding that such proceedings may be
instituted by "any elector." Accord
ing to the unanimous opinion writer
by Justice Ducker, ''lt is nowhere
alleged that the contestant (Mrs
Crownover) is qualified elector Of
Mineral county, in conformity witt
the requirement in Section 70 ane
the failure to alege this statutory
essential is, under the well settled
principles of law. fatal to the juris
diction OF the court.

WHEN TO DO YOUR
ASSESSMENT WORK

The following letter from Senator
Pittman will be of interest to the
owners OF mining claims at this time:
Il am receiving SO many letters
seeking information with regard to
the annual assessment work law that
! ask the privilege of your columns
for the purpose OF giving this inform
alton to the public.
Under existing law, assessment
work OH mining claims for the year
1920 must be performed prior to July
lst, 1921.
If new legislation is not obtained
at this session of Congress the annual
assessment work of 1921 will have to
be done in 1921, and prior to January
/, 1922.
The annual work done iii 1921 for
the year 1920 will not serve as assess
ment work for the year 1921
Now, as to the pending legislation:
two bills have been introduced in the
Senate. The first bill was introduced
by me and has been favorably report
ed by the Committee on Mines and
Mining. 1t provides that the annual
assessment year shall begin on the
1st day of July each year, instead of
on the 1st day of January In other
6epInleS lx9u suszn!o 10 SuloouI
words, it makes permanent the law
that was passed for 1920. This bill
will probably become law. However,
it will not affect assessment work re-
quired for the year 1920. 1t will mean,
however, that the claim owner will
have until July 1922, in which to
perform assessment work.
There is another bill now before the
Committee Oh Mines and Mining
providing for the extension of one
years time i'll which to perform the
assessment work for 1920. At a re-
cent meeting, the Committee on
Mines and Mining reported adversely
OH this bill. The committee will how
ever, give reconsideration to the oil
at its next meeting at my request |
may obtain enough votes i'll the COM
mittee to have the decision reversed
and have the bill favorably reported.
| am very doubtful, however. whether
the bill will be able to pass the Sem
ate and the House before July lst.
| therefore recommend that all claim
owners do their assessment work for
1920 prior to July /, 1921. Very truly
yours,
KEY PITTMAN.
