Grush Samples Before Sending to Nevada State Lab
Nevada University officials urge sending large finely ground samples to the Nevada State Mining Laboratory for accurate determinations. In 1914 the lab processed 1681 samples from 248 facilities, a near 50 percent rise from 1913. Also noted are the death of Harry T. Creswell, long-time attorney and former state senator, and Belgian immigrant Charles Viaene seeking citizenship while planning to bring relatives from England to Fallon.

International Wins Decision Over Linotype Royalties
The United States Court ruled that newspapers are relieved from paying royalties on linotype inventions patented 25 years ago. The International Typesetting Machine Company argued that Mergenthaler patents expired eight years earlier, a claim the court upheld. International won a sweeping victory, enabling linotype users to save about $1000 per machine as newer machines undercut the older.

Nevada Mineral Resources Fall In 1914 Output
The U.S. Geological Survey reports Nevada mineral production dropped over 22 percent in 1914 from 1913, driven by copper price declines tied to World War I. Gold remained the largest value, with major activity in Goldfield, Tonopah, and Fallon districts. Silver output fell about 5 percent while tonnage and mills expanded at several camps including Manhattan, Big Pine, and Buckhorn.
