Proposed by the 1903 legislature, retifled by 1905, it requires owners to work claims or sell abandoned ones to new hands. The aim is to compel use of idle mines scattered across Nevada, with delinquent taxes next year leading to sales at auction. A Chicago specialist advises hat removal for bald men, deemed a separate street remark.
