Our note published in this column on Peel s contempt for literature re calls the fact that it was Peel who ob- ' talned Tennyson his pension of ?200. It was not, however, from lore of po? try ? Sir Robert in fact never read a poem of Tennyson's. Monckton Mllnes, prompted by Carlyle, was the lever. One is reminded how Mllnes at first demurred, protesting that his constitu ents would think the affair "a job." And of Carlyle's persuasion: "Richard Mllues," he stormed, "on the Day of Judgment when the Lord asks you why you didn't get that pension for Alfred Tennyson it will not do to lay the blame en your constituents; it Is you who will be damned. ?

FOR LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER PORPOSES The Industry Promises to Become One of the Most Impor tant in the State. Its Success Will Revolu tionize Conditions in Nevada R. M. Catlin of New Jersey an old time luscarora mine manager is stopping at the Mayer Hotel. He is accompanied by Walter Stalder, an expert in minerology. ? They have started a force of men 10 work on the immense coal deposits just outside of the town limits. These deposits are large enough to last a hundred years and while ti.e coal has no commercial value as fuel, it has been ascer tained from experimental tests, so it is reported, that it will r^ake as much gns as an.v coal produced in the United States. While then is considerable re ticence maintained it is thought the county of Elko has an unex- ; pected source of wealth at the very dcor of its flemishing county seat. fhe importance of such a dis covery can not be over-estimated. If it lurns out, as it is now expected, cheap gas for light, heat and power will be the most valuable usset with which this magnificent county has been endowed by nature It will mean the complete revolution of Conditions in Nevada. Fact-ries and manufacturing en terprises requiring cheap power, and cheap fuel are ever ready to commence operations were condi tions appear satisfactory. Mr. Cathlin is no idle dreamer. He represents large financial in terests and his return to develop, what has hitherto been considered a worthless range of hills, may mean much to the whole community and the stat" at large. If the result of development work and experiments now in operation meet expectations Elko is on the verge of a boom which will make for a greater Elko. TITlE TO NEVADA LANDS QUIETED DY DNITEO STATES SENATE The following telegram received this morinng will be good n ws to every town along the lir.e of the S. P. in Nevada. Washington U. C. Feb. 28. 1913. Edwin E. Caine, Elko, Nevada. "Bill legalizing Central Pacific conveyanes passed senate last night j with Pittman's cooperation." Francis G. New lands. It apoears that the original] grant to the Union Pacific gave them the right to 200 feet on each side of their track making a strip ?100 feet wide. There seems to have been some misunderstanding which was entertained by the railroad company it self a? well as the public and in many cases only 100 feet on each *ide of track was lenccd and appropriated by the company. In all such cases up to within 100 ft. of the track which has been cultivated fenccd or used in any manner by the occupants or owners of adjoining lands the title shall rot be disturbed and the rail road company forfeits title by reason of negligence or misunder standing. In Elko the Pacific Improvement Company and the S. P. railroad Co. sold lots on the 4oo foot strip granted for railway purposes only. I hey had no right to this land for any other purpose and were not able 10 give good title. The act which passed in the United States Senate yesterday has the legal effect of quieti g title in all such cases. Mr. Caine had taken this matter up personally with Senator Newlands and too much credit can not be given him. Senators New lands and Pit.tman also come in for great praise for the effectiveness of their work. Well, 8 Elko, Carlin, Battle Moun tain.
