ENGINEER ~INTERPRETs
ASSESSMENT WORK LAW

Goldfeld Tribune: The matter OF
| the new law on annual assessment
work or mining claims was brought
TO the attention Of j. K. Turner, Gold
| field mining engineer, and in a dis
cussion he called attention to the
Law. which in substance and effect
reads as follows:
The period within which the work
required to be done annually on all
unpatented mining claims located
since May 10, 1872, shall commence
at IL O'Clock noon on the first day
OF July after the date of location Of
such claim, provided that on all such
valid existing claims, the annual per-
iod ending December 81, 1921, shall
continue to IL O'Clock noon, July /,
1929"
Mr.. Turner said that in his opin-
ion this law should be interpreted
in the following manner:
THAT on all claims Wnere, unuer
the old law, the annual work should
have been done on or before Decem-
Der 81, 1921, the owner of the claim
shall have up to noon, July 1, 1922,
In which to do his work. In other
words, for claims located in 1920,
the claimants have until July 1, 1922,
in which to do their annual work.
For claims located on or after Janu-
airy 1, and before noon, July l, 1921,
the claimants have until noon, July
/, 1922, in which to do their work.
For claims located on and after noon,
July 1, 1921, the claimants have until
July /, 1923, in which to do their
annual work"

REMINISCENT OF THE
GOOD OLD DAYS

Nevada Mining Press: The spec
called this week wherever mining
men c~ongregate by news,o the pass
ing of James F. O'Brien, founder and
publisher of the Goldfield News, and
many a story was told of those siren
uous times, of which O'Brien was a
central figure. There were three eras
in the history Of G%oldield; the first
rich discoveries, in the Diamondfield
section of the district; the finding of
high-grade on the Jumbo and Red
Top mines and the Reilly lease on
the Florence; and the great strikes
in the Mohawk and Florence mines
In 1906. Each era brought to the
new gold camp a different class Of
adventures. Tents gave way to
wooden buildings and these to struc-
lures of brick and stone; the railroad
was built In from Tonopah; automo-
biles replaced horse-drawn vehicles;
we were served water through iron
pipes instead Of from old whiskey
barrels, had bath tubs and electric
lights, and fine bars in place of the
rude pioneer affairs made from rough
plank. After the earthquake and
fire of April 1906, in San Francisco.
hundreds of former residents of that
city came to Goldfeld to live. We
had our tragedies, of course, but
most everybody seemed to be happy
most of the time. The lure of this
desert camp drew the brightest talent
from every walk of life, and partic-
ularly was this true of the news
paper fraternity, which numbered
many brilliant writer's from all over
the country, mixed with the men of
mediocre ability, who had most of
the real work on the local papers.
Money was plentiful, food was good
and there was an abundance of the
best whiskey made. The camp final
ly became so civilized that a man
could o a dress suit m public in
perfect safety and many notable So
cial gatherings were held at the big
hotel. the public halls and in private
residences. For the less refined, or
more violent, there were dance halls
and cabarets galore. Denizens of the
camp worked hard during the day
and played hard until late at night.
At the height of it's glory Goldield
numbered twenty thousand people
and there was hardly a dead one in
the bunch. The old glories have
faded. the turbulent crowd has scat
tered far and wide. The four ia
nous saloons and gambling houses
that in the boom days occupied the
four prominent in the center
of the town are deserted; but the
picture of Goldfeld as she was will
live until the end with the men and
women who were a part of that life.

STOCK VALUES
GIVEN BY METCALF

Speaking of the importance of the
live stock industry to the future Of
Nevada, Vernon Metcalf, secretary of
the Nevada Livestock Association,
made a ~forceful address before the
Rotary club Of Reno at the weekly
luncheon, lays the Reno Journal.
The three main Industries Of Ne
vada were compared by Mr.. Metcaif
throughout his talk in regard to their
total income to the State. their tax
able property and as to whether they
advanced the State. These three in
dustries were agriculture. which in
cludes live stock, the railroads and
the mining industry.
Showing how this State was lin
tied to those three industries Mr..
Metcalf then showed how these in
dustries compared In income and
amount of business. About rs per
cent of the total area of Nevada is in
range lands hat raise only forage
crops which are now used by the live
stock men. Most of the other agri-
cultural products are fed to the stock
and shipped out Of the State as hides.
mutton, beef, wool and other pro-
ducts of the live stock industry.
The number of head of live stock
In Nevada in 1920 was 1000, 900
sheep and $4,000 cattle, and in
1921 the cattle had decreased innum-
bers about 5 per cent, while the sheep
had increased about Z per cen The
output of the live stock yearly aver
ages 100000 pounds Of wool, AGO.
900 lambs, 100000 ewes and 49,
600 fattened lambs. Among the cat
tie it averages 10000 steers and
cows. The dairy income for last
year was sS33,O00.
The total live stock income in 1920
was $10,103,000, and agricultural
$3,627,000. With the income from
horses and swine it would be about
$4,000 900. The railroads brought
in $35,000,0 900, but the mines only
s23,000.000 Last year, due to the
drop in prices, live stock was nearer
5000, 000.
OF the total number of persons en-
ployed in the State as shown by the
census, 21.5 per cent are engaged In
the live stock, IA per cent in rail-
roads, Z per cent in mining; Of the
money returned from each million
dollars invested the mines showed
t~hree-tenths of 1 per cent, the rail-
roads IL per cent and live stock 2.
per cent. OF the percentage Of taxes
in the State in 1921 the agriculture
and live stock interests paid 81 per
cent, mining 7 per cent and the rail-
roads AZ per cent, 4 per cen of which
should be credited to live stock as
payment the cattlemen make for
rental on railroad lands.
Mr.. Metcalf also showed how prices
had fiuctuated during the war, how
they now stood in regard to price re-
ceived and cost and how they would
be at the end of the year. In the
sheep industry prices will be back to
normal this year; the cattlemen will
still be on an unequal footing, prices
being lower and cost higher.

Would rNJuRE MINING

Winnemucca Silver State: A com
munication printed in this issue Of
the silver State, written by an inter-
ested party and pointing to dangers
existing in a bill now before Congress
called the Denison bill, is perhaps of
greater Importance to Nevada's pros
perity than has yet been brought out.
and for that reason requires more
than casual investigation. The Deni-
son bill would prohibit sending of
stock certificates or s~tock-seiling lit
erature, lei newspapers with pro-
motion advertisements into States
now having blue sky" laws. unless
the would-be stock seller had first
complied with the provisions of the
blue sky" laws of different States.
AS there are some thirty-five States
that have all sorts of regulations
along this line 1t is patiently impos-
sible for any save a dividend-paying
mine company to offer stock meeting
requirements, and these do not need
to sell stock.
Denison, sponsor of the proposed
law, halls from Illinois, the State
with the most stringent blue sky"
laws in this country. The purpose
OF the law apparently is to prevent
stock sellers from disposing of GER
tifcates in blue sky" States by s
of the mails, and to prevent evasion
the bill is worded so that stock GER
t~ificates could not be shipped into
such States even by freight. The
law, If passed, would really be pro-
viding Federal means of enforcing
laws of the States involved.
The Silver State will not say that
strict enforcement of certain blue
sky" laws would not be a good
thing. In fact we heartily favor
anything that may do away with
the fraudulent stock salesman. But.
through the lack of understanding of
mine development requirements, com
mon in the east, the proposed law
would undoubtedly have the effect
of completely killing most of the
mine development in this and other
mining States, If passed.
The Denison bill, as with many
of the State blue sky" laws, is
wrong because practically every mine
is first a prospect hole which consti-
tutes in a large measure a gamble as
to whether 1t will ever develop into
a paying mine. Often times expendi-
lures mount into hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars before commercial
production is started. On the Com
stock to-day, in this State, there is a
mining proposition being put forward
wherein more than four million dol
lars will be spent before one dollar is
produced.
1t Is always the prospector with
little money, often g~rubstaked, who
goes into the hills to find mines.
Without the poor prospector in the
field mines would never of been
heard of in this or any other State.
Under laws that prohibit him from
doing business with people willing
to take a chance he would find 1t i'm
possible to carry on and the conse-
quence would be that the number Of
new mines developed would be prac-
tically nil.
Some other means of curbing the
crook can be found without resort
ing to anything as stringent as the
Denison bill, and the Silver States
correspondent is right in saying that
every endeavor should be put for
ward to defeat its passage.
