DUE CREDIT
FOR HONEST ACT

The following story published in the
White Pine News of August chron-
icles a har oening out of the usual
trend in the every day affairs of life
and brings to the notice OF the pub
lie our esteemed citizen and hotel
proprietor Edward Herrera:
While Judge c. ]. McFadden was
in Eureka last week, Landlord Her
rera of the Europa hotel handed him
pocketbook containing a sizable
roll of bank notes. which the land
lord had found under his guest's 8
pillow and asked the judge IL he
could locate the owner. The pocket
book bore the name Of &c. A. Pons,"
and as Judge McFadden is well ac-
quainted with Fred c, Pons Of East
Ely he at once associated the names
and brought the pocketbook and con-
tents with him on his return to Ely
and made it point to hunt up Fred
Pons.
Everything was at once made clear
as C. A. Pons and Fred C. Pons are
brothers and the former, who had
attended the Nationl convention OF
Elks at Los Angeles, had stopped al
Eureka on his way from southern
California to his home in Utah. He
had not missed the pocketbook until
his arrival home and had no idea as
to where he had lost it. On arrival
at his home he had written his broth.
er Fred in East Ely, where he had
| stopped for short visit, telling hin
of the loss and asking him IL he hat

AS 1t turned out Fred Pons was en-

| ward pocketbook and money to his
brother. The sum of money was s7s
in bills.
1t is a fortunate circumstance fol

HOUSE M!ME BILL
IS MADE CLEAR
Claimowners, If New Law Il
Enacted, Will Have Until
1922 to Do Work

Doubt as to the intent Of the mine
assessment bill. which passed Con-
gress recently. with regard to the
performance OF labor required by law
for the year 1921 was cleared away
Monday. says the Salt Lake City Tri-
buns, by . bulletin received BY A.
@. Mackenzie, secretary Of the Utah
chapter Of the American Mining Con-
gress, from the washington Once Of
the organization According to this
bulletin, which reports the debate on
the bill when being considered In the
House, claim owners viii have until
noon Of July /, 1922. to do the annu-
al assessment work for the year 1921.
In passing the bill. says the Mining
Congress bulletin. changing the per-
iod of doing assessment work ON un-
patented mineral claims from the cal
endar to the flscal year. the House
accepted an amendment proposed by
Representative Arentz Of Nevada.
providing that the end OF the annual
period shall come at IL O'Clock noon
ON July OF each year instead Of At
midnight. Representative Mann Of
Illinois entered into debate on the
bill with the opposition that the sole
motive Of the measure was 70 grAnt
an additional six months for the COM
pletion of assessment work In 1871.
This was denied by members Of the
committee and the author Of the bill.
who showed that the committee was
forced to choose between curtailing
the assessment period by six months
or extending 1t six months. choosing
the latter course. Representative
Summers of Washington said that the
main argument In favor of the bill
was the opportunity afforded those
doing the work to combine the work
of two years In one visit to the claim
site in midsummer BY. doing part Of
the work before July / and part for
the next year after July Les
Representative Mann declared that
he had never heard any complaint
about the present system, although
he had heard complaints about ev-
erything else by men from the min
ing States" Representative Wingo
Of Arkansas explained how the COM
nittee avoided complications which
might arise through the passage Of
| the bill before the end of this calen-
dar year. This was accomplished
through the provision that assess
| ment work that might be done up to
December 81, 1921. might be extend
ed to the end of the present fiscal
year. Then, beginning with next
July the assessment work will be
done on the basis Of the fiscal year
and not on the basis Of the calendar
year. W

SHELTERS WORKING FOR
LOWER ORE FRE|GHTS

Saturdays Elko Independent says:
]. c. Brumblay. field representative
of the United States Smelling, Re-
fining & Mining Company, is here
from Salt Lake looking over the min
ing situation in theis district. He
states that his company is doing
everything POSSIBLE in the effort to
secure lower transportation rates on
ores sent to the smelters and have
already secured some substantial con-
cessions in the Utah, Idaho and Mon
tana territory, says the Humboldt
Star.
The question of obtaining lower
rates from Nevada points has been
taken up with Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific officials and as the
result of the negotiations. Mr.. Brum-
blay says, the. roads have been
brought to a realization of the ne
cessity for reductions in this terri
tory and substantial notifications
in rates are expected in the near fu-
ture. He desires to have mining
men and prospectors OF Nevada real
ize that the chance of obtaining lower
rates on their ores is now very bright
and confidently expects to see mining
operations in Nevada resumed on a
considerable scale in the near future
which will mean a return of prosper
ity to the mining industry of the
State.
A reduction in the bullion freight
has been obtained to take effect Au-
gust IL. AS a consequence the Uni.
ted States Smelling Company has re-
duced the transportation and refining
charges one-quarter of a cent pei
pound of lead and one cent per ounce
of silver.
Reduction in ore freight rates from
Phoebe mining district, British Colum-
bia, Occur d. Alene, Montana and
Idaho mining districts to Salt Lake
| valley smelters. amounting to 25, 80
and 35 per cent, have already beer
obtained, Mr. Brumblay says.

ANTHRAX EPIDEMIC
REPORTED TO Be
UNDER CONTROL
Prompt Action by the State
Authorities Checks Dis
ease in Livestock

The recent epidemic of anthrax
among the horses. cattle, sheep and
hogs along the Humboldt river in Eu-
reka and Humboldt Counties, is now
practically under control. according
to DIR. w. II. Hits, veterinary in
spector for the State Board of Stock
Commissioners. who has just returned
from Beowawe.
The veterinarians of the State Vet
erinary Control service were on the
scene as soon as the disease was re-
ported and have been vaccinating all
animals in the infected area for the
past ten days. All animals in the
area known to be infected have been
vaccinated, excepting those on one
ranch near Battle Mountain. These
animals will be vaccinated Monday
and Tuesday. The prompt action Of
the State Veterinary Control service
is expected to head off the further
spread of the epidemic within the
next few days. Fortunately there
were comparatively only few ami
mails in the infected area and the
losses are slight, compared to what
they might have been, most of the
cattle being up on the high ranges
above the infected area.
AS far as is known officially this is
the first time that anthrax has ever
appeared in that vicinity. The source
of the infection has not been deter
mined, although 1t Is known that the
recent high water along the Hum
boldt river has been a contributing
cause. Anthrax has been known to
exist in the western part of the State
for some time, but systematic vacci-
nation against anthrax will also have
to be practiced among the animals

Anthrax has made its appearance
on a number of the ranches on the
Humboldt river. At the Mule Shoe
ranch, five thoroughbred bulls and
one COW had died up to last Tuesday.
At the Williams & Danielson ranch,

cattle, horses and pigs dying of the
dreadful disease. At the T. s., or
Dunphy fanch, the disease has killed
eighty head of choice white-faced cat

airy surgeons are at the last two

vaccinated to check the spread of the
disease.
