APRIL 3. 1931 os : G LEGISLATION . ‘WOULD e SUPPORTED “When sane legislation for the formmation and financing of corporations %e presented, the mining industry. will wupport it. Whe laws are sought that ‘will facilitate honest’ financing, _but ‘eontrol the unscrupulous . and “demstructive inflation of privately-owned stocks, the mining I mpladly ‘subject itself to regulations ‘that play no favorites. Laws that interfere with original @inancing but permit stock manipuators to continue their gigantic roberles can have but one effect—they: “will stifle individual initiative, retiard Western progress and place ‘ever growing power in: the hands of ~lutocrats who use it only for their swwelfish advantage. ‘Blue-sky conspirators halted the ‘serowth of the West, turned public funds into the hands of Wall Street, ‘and created the frenzied stock inflaion that brought about‘the panic of 929:and the resulting hard times. -And still they are not satisfied. Just-as surely as aight follows wWay—if more blue-sky restrictions sare placed -on legitimate business, ‘another Wall.Street panic even more sdisastrous than the lagt one will retault. And with: the world in its preswent unsettled state, a recurrence of . Rhe present:unemployment crisis will ¥ead this county to the verge of bolshevism. The:man who seeks new blue-sky Baws is a greater menace to America athan the anarchist on the = streetscorner—for he helps create doctrines sand that will, unless remedied, turn his country into a socialist soviet.— Mining Truth, DEMAREST MINE NOW HAS CREW WORKING &%.

This ts the season when industry -wilf ‘much of this sort of work is 5 carried on by hunters. One of the great: dangers ‘Sache to this type of work is that .of driving the game birds from: the nests and country. Results often prove to ‘be very disasterous for the desired variety of birds as well as alleged nuisance. Several years ago a member of the Division of Fish and Game had occasion to attend one of these drives deliberately trTo hismfdwaoaco0000 To his astonishment he saw hunters . deliberately trample quail and other nestiig game birds completely out of their nests, without giving thought as to thé results. The nests were virtually destroyed and the birds were scattered and frightened away to gunfire of the persons who were eagerly pursuing one of a “hated” variety. ‘A elose. watch on this particular ‘district proved that it was many seasons before the quail and other game. birds began to return, and by that time the despised variety was also replenished in numbers, thus proving. that absolutely nothing had been accomplished. : If drivers of this sort are contemoccasion to attend one of the drives. fall when the birds are not nesting and when the least damage is liable to be done. Before the drive, a survey should be made by competent peronss. The approximate number of game birds should be estimated and this figure should be compared with observations on the numbers desired for eradication. If the percentage is not large, the hunters might bo very well to let matters stand as thel are. In making drives, competent captains or leaders should be chosen who will lead the hunters as quietly as possible and who will make it a rule to give a wide margin to the game birds at hand. Frightened birds will sometime leave a nest, never to return, or if they do return the eggs have become cold and hatching is impossible. : ‘Remember, unlessextreme caire is exercised, a great deal more damage wlil be done than there is good accomplished on these drives.

In addition to the prize money, the county was awarded a silver trophy for the general excellence of its exhibits. Complimenting Nevada county on its showing, Paine said: “For a number of years this county has had a splendid exhibit at the State Fair, and has been a consistent prize winner, The disply at the 1930 Fair was one of the most comprehensive exer entired at this exposition, and created much favorable comment among the thousands of visitors. The’ attendance registers at the Fair included people from every state in the Union as well as most of the foreign countries,. and the excellent display of products shown by Nevada was the: kind of advertising for that county.” The State Fair directors are offerty displays at the 1931 exposition which opens tn Sacramento, Septtember Sth, and it is expected that Nevada county will agein participate. other territories by the shouts and: tremendous traffic movement thru: ing $10,000 in prize money for coun-. ‘ROAD EXPLORERS cor “we have heard our ‘bridges’ be> hind us and there is nothing left but to get through.findinE expedition engaged in blaging a trail for the sector of the pro‘posed international highway lying between Mexico City and the Panama Canal, reports the California State Automobile: Association. The : party ‘of road explorers is in charge of EK. E. East, chief engineer of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The expedition consists of three cars and is equipped with short wave apparatus. Slow progress is being made! through jungles in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, some 460 miles south of Mexico City. A dramatic story of pioneering the highway project is ‘being recounted in brief radio reports. One message read:
“ Made three-tenths miles today with lead car. Spent mast of it builidng retaining wall and trenching inside. of burro trail to hold. car high on slope of deep canyon. in many places it is necessary, to use block and tackle to keep car from going over cliff.” Communications from the caravan also stated that radio required for charging batteries. Moving all three cars and epuipment a distance of six miles required four days through one stretch of the jungle section. After leaving the end of the road south of Santa Margarita, a message stated that the Tehuantepec River was forded 88 times in seventeen miles, which required four days and two hours in travel time. : The expedition {is now in the heart of a 68-mile section where there is no-road of any kind.

Invented by Aksel Biaken, a Norwegian forester, thia method is believed by U. S.

CHINESE Ecc BILL PASSED BY SENATE Designed to protect both the consuming public and the poultry industry of the state, the Senate passed without, opposition the Harper-Slater bill.. Requiring that wholesale and retail merchants of ‘foreign egg prod-. uets must obey inspection and original container regulation, and that? every bakery or restaurant must display a conspicious sign informing the purchasing public that foreign eggs are used in their food products, the Harper-Slater bill provides a long delayed protectionto the housewife. Also aimed to benefit the poultry industry of the state, the resuls of the bill will tend to increase the use of fresh eggs and prevent slumps in the egg market similar to that recently caused by the importing of the eggs in the twelve months prior to February. perior State, Traftie Ofticer Te ; of the Santa Clara County, spuad today formally cited for unu ‘ vice rendered as an officer in a fal order issued by B.Raymon ( ou superintendent of the Californie Highway Patrol, ‘ees E The service pérformed. we the ofticer included the arrest of two notor. ious “stick-up’” men on february 26th > and a man wanted for tail on ‘March 7th. : On the first oceasion, the citation order said, Torres-assisted arresting Homer Cooper and C.
