NEW BLOOD

Fallon Standard: Following the
rounds OF the State, which is big
enough and rough enough to suit any
wandersr. the old mining camps with
dismantled machinery, empty houses,
and monuments looking downward,
are the outstanding features. 1t is
the comeback, the injection Of new
blood into the dormant veins that
brings back the hope that keeps the
desert dweller an optimist.
The recent announcement that Eu-
reka il coming to its own, Is q fair
bit of news. New York, Boston and
French capitalists have financed a
corporation, with some real money
back Of It, and have planned a smelt-
or in the old camp with a capacity
that will take care of the generous
products of fair grade of ores in the
camp.
At the present time the ores from
Eureka 30 to Salt Lake City, where
the profits Of the miner are exacted.
BY the establishment Of q smelter
within the district, that which is
worth reducing leaves its profits to
those who finance the movement.
Over the State It has been found
that there Is a quiet but steady de-
mand for abandoned mining proper

From Candelaria to Eureka, from the
Colorado to the Idaho line, scouts are
busy rounding up properties that
have had a past in hopes of building

Agriculture goes hand In hand

Of the mining camp is welcomed by
the agriculturist.
Virginia City, through the efforts
of the Buckley Wells people. and
the expenditure Of some I'VE million
dollars, has already had its effect in
reyiving business In the Lyon and

WHY THE METAL MINING
INDUSTRY Is SHORT OF LABOR

The greatest problem confronting
the metal mining industry to-day Is
probably that of obtaining an ade-
quate supply of labor. A correspond
emit, who has been but no longer is a
miner, gives his view on the subject
in the current number Of the Engin-
eering and Mining Journal-Press of
New York. He says:
First, we were fortunate in having
the mining industry brought down to
where 1t had to curtail production
and lay on men by the thousands.
That was the first time that an old
time miner was brought to his senses.
Like the vast majority. I was under
the impression that I could not do
anything else but mine.
Nov you ask why did they quit
the game? This question is answered
by the above paragraph. We were
simply thrown out Of employment.
We quit for the simple reason that
our pay stopped. The question you
should ask is Why did they stay
quit?' that Is what is bothering most
of the operators to-day. Now, let me
tell all the mine owners and oper-
ators In q fair and concise manner.

INCOME.TAX FACTS.

Thousands of letters have reached
the Bureau of Internal Revenue rela.
tive to changes in revenue legislation
| Taxpayers desire TO know the benefits
to which they are entitled under the
revenue act Of 1921 by way Of in
creased exemptions, lowered surtaxes
and allowances for deductions for
business expenses, losses, contribu-
tons. and bad debts.
The purpose Of the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue is to answer the ques-
tons presented in a series of news
pape rstatements, of which this is the
first. Taxpayers are advised to pre-
serve the articles as they appear, In
order that when they begin prepare
ton OF their income-tax returns for
the year 1921 they may have before
them a comprehensive summary OF the
requirement sof the new revenue act
To the person OF moderate income,
probably the most important change
Is In the exemptions, or credits
Under the revenue act Of 1921 a mar
ried person or head Of a family whose
net income for 1921 was $4,000 or less
is allowed a personal exemption of
$4,000. II the net income is more than
$4,000, the personal exemption is
$4,000 The exemption allowed mar
ried person oor head of family under
the revenue act of 1918 was $4,000, re-
gardless of the amount of net income.
Exemptions for dependents, also, are
increased from 5000 to $500. Thus, a
