FEDERAL DECISION FAvORS
RENO WATER USERS

Judge harrington has handed down
a decision in the case of the Reno
Power & Light Company VS.. the Pub
lie Service Commission of Nevada.
The power company asked for a
raise In rates of 80 per cen and the
commission granted a 10 per cent
raise on the rates to consumers, bas-
ing its determination on a valuation
of 100000. Judge harrington sus-
tains this contention and also fixes
the valuation of the Highland ditch at
800, 900. He then figures earnings
at the rate of Z and 11-100 per cent
ON the total valuation, including de-
probation and incidentals.
This is a clean-cut victory for the
Public Service Commission and will
do much in the way of future ad-
justments OF corporation earnings.

r FROM HOME

The demand for disarmament ia
blowing like a hurricane through the
corridors of the National Capitol.
One gust is, of course. the size Of our
tax bills. Yet our largest taxpayers
arc not the ones hottest for disarma-
ment. Neither is there any demand
in the press comparable to the zeal
for disarmament in Congress. 1t is
the grapevine telegraph which is adj
monishing the congressman. They
have trusted advisers in their home
constituencies who let them know,
mostly by letter, what folks are say
ing"
And what are folks saying? Not
so much as they are thinking. And
what are they thinking? Something
quite plain, simple and straightfor-
ward: That there has been a war;
that young men have persisted init
a war avowedly to end ornaments;
and that ornaments are going right
on; that as long as this is so II is a
mockery against the sacred dead;
and that this thing must stop.-Bos-
ton Globe.

Tonopah Miner: How a grubstake
Of SIS brought in $4,000 and how
the moral support of a cowpuncher
supplemented by a few slapjacks and
slices of bacon realized $1,000 0 is
an epic of the desert that forms the
foundation for the sale Of the Clark
County colemanite deposits to Borax
Smith for s%250,O00.
The borax formation, roughly esti-
mated to contain 100000 IONS valued
at $50 a ton or 10000 900. was first
offered to an agent of the Pacific Bor-
ak Company, who is alleged to have
tried to take advantage of the locat-
ors by offering them $4,000 a year
for 20 years and deed the property
back to them at the end Of that per-
iod. The ~prospectors demanded
s250,00O cash which the Englishman
refused to entertain. II was then
that Borax Smith was brought on the
scene by one of his scouts who had
heard of the find and succeeded In
inducing the borax pioneer to rush
off to Clark County to see for him
self what was offered. Smith accept
ed the terms Of the prospectors with
the single reservation that he would
pay $4,000 cash as soon as the party
could arrive at Las Vegas. with the
balance in 80 days, protected by a
short mortgage on the borax deposit
which would revert to the locators IL
the payments were not made. At this
stage of the deal the Pacific Borax
agent began to make himself obnox-
iors. He had cabled the story of his
find to his London office and received
a peremptory order to get the proper
ty at any cost. At Las Vegas he en-
deavored to convince the borax men
that there was a flaw in their con-
tract with Borax Smith and offered
them $500, 900 spot cash for the de-
post. His coarse work did not count
and he was told to go chase himself
in the sage brush.
The man responsible for putting
over the biggest mining deal of the
year was Frank Lowell. He was pros
pecting around st. Thomas for borax
which he had been told existed there
in commercial quantities. Lowell ran
short of grub and a local cowpuncher
became interested in a full grubstake
on the representation that he knew Of
other sections where colemanite could
be found. Both men secured the VI
cinity of the Colorado river for some
time without improving their time.
Then 1t was agreed to return to Las
Vegas where Lowell met Pete Buol
who advanced SIS which, according
to his friends, was borrowed to make
the loan. With the SIS grubstake
Lowell returned and started out once
more with the cowpuncher. Luck
had changed and the first week the
pair ran on to the mountain Of cole

FAIR DIVORCES
MAKE FREEDOMS LEAP

In one of the late Southern Pacific
Company timecards a curious error
was discovered. Through some ov-
ersight of the proofreader the eleva-
ton of Reno is given at 4,497 feet In
one line and in the next line 1t Is
given as 4,944 feet, so that the west
bound passenger would appear to ar
rive in Reno at the first elevation
and leave at the second. On noting
this an Elyite was moved by the
spirit" to make certain inquiries, as
shown In the subjoined correspond
ence. Perhaps Reno can offer a bet
ter explanation than that rendered by
Mr.. Fee. 1t has been said that some
of the stuff in Reno Is calculated to
make a jackrabbit spit in a bulldogs
eye. and probably it will cause bal
loon ascensions as well. The corre-
spondence follows:
ely, June 81, 1921.-Mr. C. s.
Fee. General Passenger Agent South
ern Pacific Company, San Francisco,
CAL: Dear Sir-This is not a kick,
but an inquiry. In looking over your
folder. form s, Ogden route, June.
1921, and noting the elevations, l am
moved to ask how 1t Is that a passen-
ger coming from the east has an ele-
walton of 4,497 feet on arrival in
Reno, and on departure has attained
an elevation Of 1914 feet? What is
there in Reno that puts him or her
up in the air 447 feet before he or
she gets out Of town? And where in
hades-I mean Reno-dot they sell 1t?
"Of course I can readily see how 1t
might act as a depressant to one COM
ing from the west; this might be at
tributed to his mental condition on
being obliged to leave old Frisco
town.
"In coming from the east / have
sometimes gone up like a toy balloon
in Reno; but thus far / have only hit
the ceiling; never have been able to
attain an altitude of 447 feet above
the town. So again I ask Where do
you get that stuff?' Yours truly,
&c. F. FOREMAN"

Mr.. G. F. Foreman, Ely, New: Dear

Salt Lake Mining Review: Splendid
results are being had by Millick and
Baird Brothers in development of
their mining find at Osceola. They
have just completed a mill run of 80
tons of ore from which they secured
a $500 bar Of bullion. This is the
third mill run they have made this
year. The ore was taken out in de-
velopment work from a vein IS inch
es wide that is all good milling ore
and in which there is a streak from
four to six inches wide carrying av-
erage value of 100 per ton. The
property was discovered last Fall
and to date has produced $1,000.
Another mill run is planned for this
month. Heretofore the ore has been
taken to the Willow Creek mill, ten

owned by a syndicate of ten people
who have been putting up money for
several years for the development OF
the property, upon which a number OF
tunnels have been run with the hope
of cutting leads of ore. Recently the
company has confined its energy to
sinking on a vein from 10 to IL inch
