Free Entry for Prospectors Dominates Assembly Debate
The assembly last week approved a bill granting free entry for prospectors on unfenced ground, with Democratic lawmakers uniting in support. Speaker Skaggs praised the measure, saying it rights the working man and miners against obstructive property owners, save for corporate interests. Governors Sparks later signed a law banning judges from trying cases where a relative up to the sixth degree serves as counsel for either side. The bill, pushed by Senator Boyd, arose from Washoe County incidents involving a judge’s relative.Railroad Day at Searchlight Spurs Local Festivities and Santa Fe Freight Updates
