i TONOPAH HONANZA. SATl'HDAY, FKMIM'AUY 14. M An i: ll. nt Kill. Scimt.ur Hmujlicr liu introduced a lill providing fur the ttpointmeiil (if a state iiiiiif rulnffiht and ujfricul tmist. Should this hill .puss both houses and become u law, it will sup ply u nct'd of irniny years gtiuidinjf. Nevada illicit to have a bureau of in fiiruiutiiMi to encourage the mining and agricultural resources of the state. Senators and assemblymen of both parties signify their intention of voting for the bill, for they recognize its merits. The bill provides for the establish ment of such a bureau at Carson City, Nevada; makes provision for the appointment of a separate state official and recommends that the ag ricultural pavilion be set apart as the offices and laboratory. Provi sions have been made in the bill whereby the several county recorders of the state are to furnish the state mineralogist all the information and data concerning the location, name, the quality of vein or lode of all min ing properties in the state and makes separate provision for the collection of a large mineral cabinet duly ad vertising the mineral resources of the state. The large and valuable mineral cabinets now in the state capitol are to be set apart for the exclusive use and control af thestate mineralogist and agriculturist. The bill also provides that this official is to get all the information possible concerning the agricultural resources of the state, the price of cereals, fruits, etc., and the markets open for investment and speculation. The bureau will solicit from all prospectors, mining investors and dealers in agricultural supplies to submit to the state mineralogist and agriculturist what mining or agri cultural properties they may have for sale and the bureau will be used as a means to place the poor pros pector and humble farmer directly in touch with outside capital. In this manner their goods aud wares may become properly advertised and both industries become greatly encour aged. The state mineralogist and agri culturist will keep two records in his office, always open to public inspec tion. These records shall contain in detail all the information concerning the various mining and agricultural properties in the state, and the man who wants to dispose of any of his properties can come to the bureau and find out where a ready sale may be made. The bill especially encourages the development of rare and uncommon mineral and earths. It has been shown time and again that there are other minerals besides gold and silver which only need proper development to be brought to the notice of the world. In this manner new mining industries will be speedily developed and the undeveloped resources of Ne vada properly brought to light. All mining and farming interests throughout the state should work for the passage of the bill and when the bureau is ultimately established should do all in their power to make it as valuable a source of information as possible. The bill carries a sal ary of $2,000 per annum and leaves the appointment of the Official exclu sively in the hands of the governor of the state. In years to come undoubtedly the duties of the official may be enlarged and the work of the bureau corres pondingly increased. It is believed that the present bill is a step in the right direction and will accomplish everything possible for years to come. (one to Tonomh. Jack Davis was a passenger south this morning on the V. & T. after spending the last week in Reno visit ing friends. He expects to follow mining in ,he new camp. "Diamonfjeld Jack" has had several theatrical engagements offered him since his parllon and has received some very liberal offers from publish ing companies to write a book, but he has. 'declined them all. As Jack . puts it: "I mive Impimni the stage long enough ami want to retire for a while." Carson S'" : " New Corporation Im. Shiic Miple rail agaiuvt cor Mralion In nioM cases they li this without a ch ar uiuleiXatidiug of the iMMiefits derived from the prose cut inn of certain kinds of work by a combination of persons, rather than by an individual. The prospecting and opening up of a mining country such as ours is found to need corporal capital. Individual fortunes that can be risked are too few. This is one of the reasons why it is proposed at the present session of the Nevada legis lature, to extensively amend our cor poration act, following the laws of other states, already found to work well, and promote the organization of corpoiations under our own laws, both for work out of the state as well as in it. Assemblyman Hardin of Humboldt has introduced a bill con sisting of CO pages, and as it contains many ood points, it ought to pass both houses and become a law. Trouble at Butter Plant. About the middle of January three eight hour shifts were put on at the Butters plant in Sixmile canyon. When the men received their checks they were for eight hours work at thirty cents an hour. The employees protested, saying they should receive $3 per day for their services. The men refused to go to work and the plant was tied up. The company signed an agreement with the labor union when work was fi-st com menced to pay their men thirty cents an hour for ten hours' work, and as the Uutters company has broken that contract the matter has been taken up by the union. A Theory. Adam and Eve had been expelled from the garden. "I can't think one little apple is the cause of all this," complained Eve. "No," assented Adam, moodily. "Probably England and Germany want the land." And they sat in silence while Adam tried to figure out whether the Mon roe doctrine was applicable. A parent writes that he is annoyed and pained by his son staying out nights and asks us if we can present a remedy for this rapidly grow ing evil. The boys spine can be broken with an ax, or he can be nailed to the floor with a red-hot railroad spike driven through his abdomen ; but the most effectual way is to com pel him to wear patched clothing. OveVland passsenger train No. 3 last Tuesday went through the tun net between Moleen and Carlin and all the trains now pass through it The tunnel is 1900 feet long and cuts off a mile and a half of distance. The new track between C i rlin and Pali sade is also being used. Owing to the new track not being thoroughly settled the trains run over it slowly. The checking up of the books in the railroad office at Reno showed a shortage in the office of $1,026, and as it was positively known that there could not have been more than $500 on hand the morning that the rob bery was committed, suspicion was immediately directed to crookedness in the office. The Western Federation' of Miners have won their strike at Keswick and Iron Mountain, after a long hard fight. The company recognizes the union and will not discriminate against the strikers. Easter Sunday will occur on April 12th, which is a little earlier than the average date of that great reli gious festival. On that date there will be a partial eclipse of the moon. The San Francisco Chronicle says: "The gold production from Tonopah during the present year will equal theoutputof Alaska for three years.' Paper is now being manufactured in large quantities from corn stalks. The farmer is thus becoming a power in literature as well as in finance.
