EUREKA MAY HAVE
DIRECT TELEPHONE SERVICE

Mondays Ely Tines states that II.
L. Thomas of the Utah. Nevada and
Idaho Telephone Company has about
perfected arrangsments for taking
over the control OF the White Pine
Telephone Company.
The Times says that should the
controlling company's plans conform
to the opinion held locally as to the
purpose of the company In purchas-
ing the system. Il will prove great
beneft to Ely and surrounding coun-
try. II Is the accepted opinion amone
those whose ideas must be given
weight. that extensions will be af-
fected under trafic agreement to
the outside districts such as the White
River valley county, Phoebe. Eureka
and Austin. Then will come the con.
struction OF line. by way OF wend.
over. to connect with the Bell Tele-
phone Company. This. of course
means that Ely and these other towns
will be placed In Communication with
the outside world. The tremendous
value OF this can readily be realised
and this community will heartily vel
come the new enterprise and lend II
full cooperation In the carrying out OF
these plans.

ASSESSMENT
WORK REQUIREMENTS
Important Information In State
msnt Issusd BY Senator
Pittman

Word from Senator Pittman states
that he 10 receiving 90 many letters
seeking information with regard to
the annual assessment work law. he
asks the State press TO give this in
formation to the public.
Under the existing law. assess
ment work on mining claims for the
year 1890 must be performed prior
to July LIST. 1891.
''if new legislation IL not obtained
at this session Of Congress the annual
assessment work Of 1891 will have to
be done In 1921. and prior to Janu-
AIRY !. 1929.
The annual work done In 1891 for
the year 1920 will not serve as as
sessment work for the year 1921.
NOW ~ TO pending legislation:
Two bills have been introduced In the
Senate. The first bill was introduced
by me and has been favorably re-
ported by the committee on Mines and
Mining. II provides that the annual
assessment year shall begin on the
lst day Of July each year instead Of
on the 1st day of January. In other
words Il makes permanent the law
that was passed in 1920. This bill
will probably become law. However.
II will hot affect assessment work
required for the year 1920. It will
mean. however, that the claim owner
will have until July 1. 1922, In which
to perform the 1891 assessment work.
There IL another bill now before
the Committee on Mines and Mining
providing for the extension Of one
years time In which to perform the
assessment work for 1920. At re-
cent meeting. the committee on Mines
and Mining reported adversely on
this bill. The committee will. how
ever, give reconsideration to the bill
ut its next meeting at my request. /
may obtain enough votes In 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 SEN
ate and the House before J1iy LIST.
/ therefore recommend that all claim
owners do their assessment work for
1920 prior to July /, 1891"

ample sinking pump capacity, cleaned
out the shaft to the bottom. and
