forcement of the law.
The measure provides that license
fees must be paid and also prescribes
the manner in which they are to be
paid, but it does not fix penalty
for non-payment This, however, ac-
eording TO the district attorney, in
no wise prejudices the states claim
against the owners of motor vehicles
who attempts to operate without n
license, to be prosecuted by civil ac-
ton. 1t was pointed out that to op-

Rich Strike at Luckyboy

J. H. Miller left this afternoon
for Luckyboy with a slab of ore
three feet long and foot wide that
was taken out of the new shaft at
Luckyboy which the company is
Striking. This chunk of ore is all
metal silver -lead-with silver pre-
dominating. The ore also carries
large percentage in gold.
The miners had sunk only five
feet below, the tunnel level when
the ore was struck. All hands and
the community generally are jubi-
liant, and Mr.. Miller is confident
that he is on the upper edge of a
big and rich ledge.

Simon and Omco

The Omco and Simon district
are in the Cedar Mountain, compara
lively low range in Mineral County
west-central Nevada, about 20 mile
northeast of Nina. The Omco distrie
contains the Olympic gold mine
which. although not large mine, ha
for the past six years yielded gold to
the value of more than 100000. The
vein ended against a fault, and the
owners have sought its continuation
without success. This Simon dis
trict, about foar miles south of Omco
centers around the Simon mine, III
which a large body of lead-silcer ore
has recently been developed. Both
these districts have lately been studied
by Adoich Knorf, geologist of the
United States Geological Survey, De
partment of the Interior. whose re-
port, published as Bulletin 725-H, may
be obtained from the Geological Sur
vey, Washington, d. C. Mr.. Knopi
gives an account of the geology of the
districts and describes the mines and
the ore bodies. He also discusses
the fault at the Olympic mine and
concludes that the movement was prob
ably in the opposite direction from
what had been previously supposed
If this conclusion is acted upon il
calls for an entire change in the plans
of operations to pick up the lost vein i.

NEW POPE ELECTED

Cardinal Archille Ratti, youngest OF
the members of the sacred college
in point of service as a cardinal, was
elected Pope Plus XI in Mondays bal
loting for successor to the late soy
erign pontiff, Benedict XIV.
The selection of Cardinal Ratti is
said to have come as compromise
when choice of Cardinal Gasparri
and Merry Del Val became hopeless
Friday.
The new pontiff was archbishop OF
Milan, and was named cardinal in
1921, when he became representative of
the Vatican to Poland.
A crowd estimated at 100000 re-
ceived the apostolic benediction from
the new Pope. Perfect weather
brought out one of the largest crowds
since balloting began and it was an
ordeal to move through the solid mass

STATE MOTOR LAW HAS
NO PENALTY PROVISION

Like a ship without a rudder the
Nevada motor vehicle act, passed at
the 1921 session of the legislature, and
repeating all previous measures OF
similar character, may be rendered in
operative so far as the application Of
its penal provisions upon license fees
is concerned, by reason of the absence
of penalty clause, says the Reno Ca
zette.
Discovery of the omission by the
legislature of this important section of
the statute was made known today
when L. D. Summerfield, district at
torney for Washoe county, prepared a
communication to Attorney-G General
Fowler, directing his attention to the
asserted defect and asking for a rul-

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The Board of County Commission
ers met in regular session Feb. 9th, all
members being noted present.
The minutes of the proceeding meet
ing were read and approved.
The county funds were counted and
found to agree with the Auditors bal
ance sheet.
On recommendations of the Deputy
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
M. J. Burr, the Rawhide school dis
trict was abolished and the money in
its treasury was turned into the gener
alcounty school fund. The Rawhide
district has been dormant for the past
two years.
The clerk was instructed to write
the Bureau of Biological Survey re-
questing information regarding the
statute providing for the determination
of noxious animals and the methods
of making appointments of trappers.
He was also instructed to inform F.
M. Johnson of Nina, who made appli-
cation for the position of county trapp-
er that there was no such position open
at present.
Fred Wilcox, who was seriously i'll at
the county hospital some time ago,
and who at the time was unable to pay
for treatment at that. institution, paid
at this meeting of the board $100 to
square up his old account.
Because of the shortage of available
cash in the Mineral County treasury,
the treasurer was authorized to sell
United States bonds amounting to $l5-
600 at the best price possible and put
the proceeds in the county general
| fund.
All bills against the county except
those for wages and salaries were held
up unit lthis money is available.
Because the funds of the Mineral
County power system have been ex-
hausted and the payment for power
consumed by the Simon Silver Lead
Mines Co., amounting to over $1,000
has not yet been received, it was nec-
etssary to transfer from the county
general fund sufficient money to pay
salaries and wages and hold up other
bills until such tnie as said payment
in received.
A communication from Brown &
Belford, Reno Attorneys, asking for
cost estimates for furnishing electric
power to the Thompson Smelter, was
referred to consulting engineer Beane
Should the smelter people decide to
take power it would mean the extern
sion of the power lines from Fletcher
through Wiehman, Cambridge, Mason
Valley, Wabuska and Thompson. This
would be taking the light into remote
places, indeed.
The clerk was ordered to submit a
copy of Consulting Engineer Beane's
report to each of the county papers
and request bids for printing SOC opies
in book form.
Clerk was ordered to notify J. R.
Parsons that the price set by the board
on the stove, desk and cupboard that
he removed from the Rawhide School
house is $40.
No further business coming before
the board, recess was taken until
February Is, 1922.
