ONLY REFERENDUM CAN
REPEAL. STATE POLICE LAW

Assemblyman Hayes of Esmer-
aida introduced bill to repeal the
law creating the state police force,
which brought out the facts in the
history of the bill that it cannot be
repealed except by a direct vote
of the people. The law was en-
acted in 1908 following labor
troubles in Goldfeld by special
session of the legislature called by
Governor Sparks for that purpose.
1t was later submitted to popular
vote upon a referendum petition
and ratified by vote of 1854 for
the law and 9087 against it. The
constitution in reference to the ref
erendum vote reads as follows:
When a majority of the electors
voting at a state election shall by
their votes signify approval of a
law or resolution, such law or reso-
luton shall stand as the law of the
state, and shall not be overruled,
annulled, set aside, suspended, or
in anyway made imperative except
by the direct vote of the people.
When a majority shall SO signify
disapproval the law or resolution
so disapproved shall be void and of
no effect.
This, however, does not apply to
laws initiated by the people and en-
acted by their direct vote, which
may be repealed or amended by
the legislature after a lapse of
three years.-Ely Record.

EIGHT CARS OF FINE
BULLS FOR RANCHES

Eight carloads of thoroughbred
bulls were purchased at the Denver
stock show by H. Peterie and James
Russell of the Union Land & Live
stock Company for stocking on the
ranches Of that company in this
county, according to Mr.. Russell,
who was visitor in this city yes
terday. Mr.. Russell states that the
assertion of Winnemucca paper to
the effect that three cars had been
purchased did not give the company
half the credit to which it was en-
titled for the purchase. The bulls
will be distributed as follows: Three
carloads for the Deeth ranchers,
three for the Spanish ranch and two
for the Topaz ranches owned by
the company. The total outlay of
the corporation for these animals
was $4,000. Mr.. Russell stated
that Colorado ranchmen were
amazed at the purchase when it
was made-they being in the habit
of buying eight or ten animals
where the Nevada shipment totaled
lSS.-Elko Free Press.

AFFECTS
MARRIAGE STATUS

Common law marriages will no
longer be recognized by the laws
Of Nevada if a bill introduced in
the assembly by Garavanta's bill
would amend section one of the act
relating to marriages and divorce
approved November %, 1861. The
full text of the bill follows:
1.-THE people of the state of Ne
gada represented in senate and as
emily, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section / of an act
entitled "An act relating to mar
riage and DIVORCE" approved No
vember 28, 1861, is hereby amended
so as to read as follows:
Section 1. That marriage, so
far as its validity in law is concerned,
is a civil contract, to which the
consent Of the parties capable in
law of contracting is essential.
Marriage contracts shall be entered
into in the manner prescribed in
this act and no marriage hereafter
contracted in this state in accord
ance with the rules or practice of
the common law, and without COM
plying with the provisions of this
act, shall be valid.'"

ROADS WILL ADOPT
WAR Time PLAN
SHORTLY
S. p. and w. p. Said to Have
Arranged for Better Means
OF Handling Passenger
and Freight Service

That the Western Pacific Com
pany and the Southern Pacific Com
pany have planned an arrangement
whereby traffic over both roads will
be handled in practically the same
manner in the future as it was dur
ing the time that the railroads
were under government control, was
the contents of an article published
recently in an eastern newspaper,
according to information received
from George Schwartz, acting chief
dispatcher at the Western Pacific
Offices in this city.
The Western Pacific railroad, it is
reported, will handle all freight
shipments for both roads over their
line, between Wells and Winnie
mucca, while the Southern Pacific
road will handle passenger service
for both roads between these two
points.
In the opinion of many Western
Pacific employees the agreement be-
tween the two roads, if carried out,
will mean extensive improvement
of the Western Pacific road between
Wells and Winnemucca. All steel
bridges will be constructed between
the two points, it is said, and a
block signal system will be in all
probability be installed.
Because of the increased volume
of business over each railroad, the
change is planned, it is said. The
easier grade of the Western Pacific
makes the transportation of freight
over the road between Winnemucca
md Wells easier, while the better
roadbed of the Southern Pacific line
between the two points makes their
road more desirable from stand
point of passenger service.-Elko

How the Second grade practices
thrift.
The pupils in the second grade
spent pleasant hour Tuesday
afternoon making Valentines. This
plan had been decided on by the
teacher and pupils so that the PEN
MES, nickles and dimes could be
saved for things more useful. A
number Of the mothers co-operated
as Wednesday morning many of the
little tots came to school with
Valentines made at home. The re-
suit was the second grade basket
held nothing but Valentines made
by the pupils at their homes or at
school. This is a good example
of thrift which the other grades
would do well to follow next year.
The Eighth and Seventh grades
rendered a Lincoln Washington pro-
gram this afternoon in the assembly
room. One of the most interesting
features of the program was a
debate on the topic, Resolved,
That Washing did more for our
country than Lincoln did," Two
Eighth grade girls, Magdalene Selby
and Bernice Rossier, matched their
forensic powers against two Seventh
grade boys, Girwin Bulls and Frank
Ford.
The A-Fifth grade won both the
arithmetic match and the spelling
match from the B-Fifth grade last
Friday afternoon.
Last week Stones Standard Rea-
soning Test in arithmetic was given
to all the pupils of the Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth grades. Frank
Ford Of the A-Seventh grade dis
tinguished himself by making a
score Of 1872, the highest score
made by any pupil in the school.
Willie Henly ranked next with a
score of 10. AS the third highest
score was only 90, these two boys
scored distinction for themselves.
In the B1Eighth grade Lois Gala
han and Alice Gartiez were the
only pupils, besides Willie Henley,
who made above the standard score.
In the Sixth grade, Marion Lorentz,
Robert McClain, Thomas Howard
and Tedy Moore were the only pu-
pills whose scores were above the
standard. In the Fifth grade only
Lawrence Tilden and Charles Brant-
ing made the standard score.

NEVADA MINES
PRODUCTION 1922

The value of the gold, silver, cop
per, lead and zinc mined in Me-
vada increased from $12,137, 1886 in
1921 to $14,712,00 in 1922, ac-
cording to preliminary figures COM
piled by v. C. Heikes, of the United
States Geological Survey Depart
ment of the Interior. This was
greater than the value in 1921 but
much less than that in any other
recent year.
The output of gold decreased
from $3,312,,757 in 1921 to 3d.
$4,000 in 1922. The gold from the
Tonopah district increased from
1893, 094 to $1,199, $50, and that of
the Goldfeld district from $146,782
to $4,000. The Elkoro mine at
Jarbidge was the largest producer,
and the West End Tonopah Extern
sion, Tonopah Belmont, and Tono-
pah Mining followed. The gold
produced from copper ore decreased
slightly, owing to the burning of
the mill of the Nevada Consolidated
Mining Co., and the output from
Round Mountain, Gold Circle and
Rochester was also less. In spite
of the general activity in the Com
stock district, the gold output de-
creased from $324,827 to 5000, 900.
Other mines that made an output
of gold valued at $4,000 .or more
were the Goldfield Consolidated,
Virginia. Gold Canyon dredge,
United Comstock, Round Mountain,
Nevada Consolidated, and White
Caps. The White Caps mine, at
Manhattan, resumed milling opera
ton in September.
The mine production of silver in
creased from 7,,0S3,782 ounces in
1921 to 8,198,000 ounces in 1922,
as the mining companies made every
effort to take advantage of the
Pittman Act. The Tonopah district
produced 5,665,00O ounces, as
against 4,623,901 ounces in 1921,
and the development of several of
the mines at depth was most en-
couraging. The largest producers
were the Tonopah Extension, West
End, Tonopah Belmont, Tonopah
Mining, Tonopah Divide, and Roch-
ester Silver mines. The mines Of
the Comstock district increased their
output to about $4,000 ounces,
partly owing to the work of the
United Comstock Mining Co., which
operated its new cyanide plant in
October. Mines at Rochester pro-
duced 100000 ounces, and those
near Phoebe 241, 900 ounces. Other
large producers were the Leadville,
Halifax, Montana Tonopah, Betty
O'Neal, and Simon Silver Lead
mines. The new cyanidation mill
of the Candelaria Silver Mines Co.
was completed and operated in
October.
