subsequently construed the act to mean
that both end and side lines were con
templated by the act. and that when
a patent was once obtained the paten
tee was not permitted to follow the
vein on its course bevond the surface
boundaries. This explains the nn.
why the Comstock lode mines were
fever patented. So, they still hold
their rights under the Uy-Laws and
i Rules and Regulations of Virginia
Mining District, adopted in 1859, which
have leen carefully recognized by con
gress. The act of 1872 exeatlv chamrrd
the miner's rights under his location,
and allows him all veins, lodes, and
ledges, the tops or apices of which are
within the boundary lines of !,; lo
cated claim, which must not be more
than 1MJ0 feet in leng'li and 300 feet
on each side ot the cemer of the vein.

night and returned early Sunday morn

annual tour of inspection made by
Grand Master Tate Williams of thp
grand lodge of Nevada.
The grand officers accompanying Mr.
Williams were Grand Patriarch Earl

and other grand lodge officers accom
panied the party, which consisted of the
inspecting party. Reno lodge No. 14,
the Odd Fellows band and the Can

of the lodge.
The number present in this city when
the meeting was called to order was
in excess of 200 and among this number
was a large class of candidates who
were given

San Francisco, and well known in th;
city, to the position of manager of the
Anita Baldwin oroDertv at Tii,

city from San Francisco.
Pearce is a former Virginia Tin

long been idntified with the hotel busi
ness in San Francisco.
The erection of the new inn at Tal-
lac will be completed this year, it is
oelieved, and Pearce will have full
charge.
Burhank, Messick and Risins were the
judges appointed in 1865 to preside in
the district court. Storey county, and
both Messick and Rising told me in the
eighties that fabulous prices, or fees,
if you prefer, were paid to mining ex
perts from I-Inglana and Germany to
testify during the litigation, and that
the miner's pick had disproved all the
theories advocated and advanced by
with reference to the Comstock lode,
and I personally know that miners re
fer to the west, east, and middle veins
on the lode, indicative of the particu
lar place where they happen to be em
ployed. In all probability the several
contending parties concluded to com
promise, and accept the one-lode theory
and issue stock on the basis of the com
promise in settlement. It is likely also
that the high price of experts forced
them to compromise in self-defense.
ALFRED CHARTZ.
Reopening of Lahontan Plant
As we go to press, plans are being
completed for the early opening of the
Lahontan Sand and Gravel Plant of the
department located on the Hazen-To-nopah
line of the Southern Pacihc
Company near the Lahontan dam. ThU
plant was built by the department dur
ing the year 1920 for the min.ose of
furnishing washed sand and gravel for
concrete highway construction through
out the western part of the state. It
has a capacity of about four luinchvil
to;:s of sand and gravel per dav, the
proportions running about sixty ner
cent sand and forty per cent gravel.
The sand produced at this plant is of
unusually high test, is washed abso
lutely clean, and is to be used exclu
sively , on all concrete highway con
struction. No other sand in the state
approximates this sand in hidi tcts
This plant was constructed during
the period of extreme hiuh costs of la
bor and materials and as a result prob
ably cost fifteen to twenty-five ner cent
more than if built at tire present time.
However, even so, it has proven a good
investment. The value of the plant is
written off over a period of vears.
against the jobs to which materials are
furnished in proportion to the tonnage
furnished, and two years' oneraiion of
the plant has demonstrated that we can
deliver materials at railroad points un
der the price of delivery from other lo
cal and outside points. It is antici
pated that this season's costs will be
lower than previous years because of
the lower labor and supplies costs
The immediate reopening of the plant
win also help to relieve the local un
employment situation, and as the need
for more materials arises the working
force will he increased to a double
shift.
Snow Removal on Highway
The unusually heavy storms of the
past month have presented unusual
difficulties to the prompt removal of
the snow from the pavement and the
keeping open of the Reno-Carson road
for motor traffic. The first storm was
so heavy that the snow-plows first
placed in service were too light for the
wrk and as a consequence were en
tirely demolished in a short time.
This necessitated a short delay until
heavier equipment was gotten ready,
and when caterpillars were sent out
with heavy plows no difficulty was ex
perienced until twelve-foot drifts in
cuts were encountered between Washoe
and Lowers. On of these drifts was
very deep and consisted of almost solk
uc, so mat the tractors in attempting
to ,co through would climb up on the
drift, the treads would cut ut the ice
aim leave the frame of the machine
hung on the ice. This one cut was so
bad that it required three tractors and
several days' work to break a road
through. For approximately ten miles
the snow on the level measured four
feet and. with constant drifting from
the winds, the highway when finally
opened presented a high wall of snow
on each side. The ruad was closed
exactly two weeks between Washoe and
Carson City. The heavy caterpillar
tractors received from the povp
........
have proven their worth on this sort
of work, and we arc now equipped with
heavy snow-plows, so that even should
the snowfall be equally heavy during
coming winters we do not anticinatc
much difficulty in keeping the road
open.
Application for Reduced Rates
The department is now nrenarintr for
niing with the public service commis
sion and the various railroad com
panies applications for reduced local
and joint through freight rates on ce
ment, crushed rock, gravel, and sand
to be used for highway construction.
In the year 1919 reduced rates were
granted over certain lines, but when
all rates were increased twenty-five per
cent under the authority of the inter
state commerce commission these spe
cial rates were increased in the same
manner as other rates, and it is now
the belief of the department that rates
should be established equal to or lower
than the 1919 rates. Special rates will
be requested on construction materials
from points of origin to the various
towns where paving work is contem
plated in order that the cost of material
may be held to a minimum.
