CHIEF ARTHUR,

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has done wisely in retaining
Mr.. Arthur at the head of the organ
ization. That the Brotherhood is a
powerful, worthy and respected asso-
citation is due more to Mr.. Arthur than
to any other one man. He is pc
culiarly equipped in mind for the posi-
ton which he occupies, being clear
headed, conservative, and a leader.
A radical man as chief would long
since have brought the society into
disrepute and disgrace if not to
wreck and ruin. True, Mr.. Arthur
has made mistakes. One of them
was in ordering the Burlington
strike, which has cost the ordee heavily
in money and injured it morally and
in the esteem of the public; but all
men are liable to err at times. Mr..
Arthur has been guilty of fewer mis-
takes than any man who ever stood at
the head of such an extensive labor
organization and held such power as he
has. Furthermore, it is pretty gen
orally conceded that he was not re-
sponsibIe for the strike; in fact, that he
was opposed to it, but being overridden
by men less cautious, far-sighted and
conservative, he yielded and did his
utmost to guide matters for the best.
Mr.. Arthur's reelection is an assur-
ance to railroad managers and the pub
lie that the Brotherhood of Locomotive
is to be maintained on the
elevated plane which it has so long
occupied, and that it will continue to
be fair and just in its dealings with the
railways.

LOCAL BRIEFS.

THERE ARE messages at the Western
Union Telegraph Office for II. Stephen
son, Mrs. j. F. Seldomridge and Charles
H. Parker.
LAST NIGHT as a man named Wood
was driving down First South Street
one Of his horses fell into the open
trench being dug for the gas mains at
The HERALD corner, and nothing but
good luck prevented serious results.
A few red lights along the side of the
trench where the dirt is piled is all
there is to warn people of the danger,
and as these lights are several feet
from the trench they are very uncer-
tain warning. Many remarks have
been made concerning the man trap,
and the city marshal should see to it
that fence is placed on the uoguarded
side of this ditch.

decrease of the bullion output and a

1t Ia raid that Senator Stewart Is about TO
introduce q bill changing the time of re-locat-
Ing claims from the first ofJanuary to the first

move, and one that will be duly appreciated
by thousands of prospectors all over the Coast.
As the law now stands prospector takes his
life in his hands almost every time no goes to
relocate claim, especially during a New

"Let Well Enough Alone. +"

The Elko Free Press of last Satur-
day says: The news that the jury in
the Lewis case had brought in ver-
diet of guilty of murder in the Sec
ond degree was received with general
satisfaction by great majority of our
citizens. Some wanted it murder in
the first degree, but majority, while
acknowledging the enormity of the
crime, pitied the defendants poor
mother, aud for her sake wished tor
the lesser verdict.
This is the second trial of the case,
the first jury standing six for murder
in the first degree and six for acquit-
tai. The plea was insanity. The de-
Tense was conducted in an able man
DER by Dorsey & Plummer, and o. Fl ,
Grey, who made hard fight for their
client.
The prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney Talbot, assisted by
his partner, L. 5. Harrington. Both
did we'll, and are highly compliment
ed for their work. Mr.. harrington
made splendid closing address. 1t
was concise and to the point. The
case was fought inch by inch.
We understood that motion will
be made for new trial and if that is
denied au appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court. If it was our case
we would let "well enough alone"
The next jury might not be SO merci-
full as this one was.

A suBLIMn DESERT DANCE.
The WALKING sand Augers Which
Reach Miles uiRh In Nevada.

Reach Miles high in Nevada.
Col. Joe Grandcmeyer, of Hamilton,
who is now in San Francisco on a we'll
earned recreation after years of toll
in the limestone depths Of Treasure
Hill and White Pine Mountain, is
giving the Bay papers many sketches
OF his experience IN Nevada. Here is
bis latest:
you have heard of the dance of
death, and the uance OF this, that and
tile other,e said Joseph Grandelmeyer,
the White Pine mining man To an Ex-
aminer reporter. "Out IN Nevada we
have what We call the dance OF the
giants, and any observer would think
80 too II he looked ut them.
They are no less than great cylin.
ders OF sand which waltz over the
desert with graceful motions and
reach high IN the SKY. They are from
eight 10 twenty tcet IN diameter at the
bottom, aud do not widen nor narrow
as they go upwards.
In tnIs respect they differ from the
cyclone OF tic East. which being also
spiral, widcns like the funnel toward
tie top, while its bottom Gores into
the ground often digging trench,
aud sucking up horses, barns trees aud
erything else ID its path.
"1he SAND column OF cylinder, how
ever, has, like the latter, both circu-
lar and forward motion. They start
from little or nothing, being IA sort
of an inciplent whlrlwlnd, while all
the surrounding air is still. Then
they Develop To about the size | have
said. They seem to get their start IN
the rather loose sol along some old
road, and from this they grow to gle
gantic size aud waltz miles over the
desert.
I'm illuvial soil they cut very deep,
while in the gravelly soil they do not
have SO much effect; yet have known
them, in addition 10 taking up tabu-
lous quantities OF sand, to take up tons
of sagebrush and good-sized stones.
at is a strange sight coming along
these deserts sometimes To see three or
four, or even more of these waItzing
sand augers. Usually there is one
big auger and whole lot of little
ones, all dancing along short els.
lance from each other.
"Some of these great sand cylinders
| have seen reach from two to three
miles high, into the clouds. 1t is a
fantastic sight to see them away out
on the lonesome desert.
"Summer time is the only time they
exist, and they waltz along for hun
dretls of miles. They are thickest in
July. In White Pine valley, which
runs from the Humboldt to the Colo
RADIO river, for distance of over $50
miles, there are ottentlmes many of
them. In the Snake valley, too,
which is $50 miles long, there are "a
good many, aud they sometimes get
to be from twenty 10 thirty feet in
diameter.
They are also seen in Phoebe valley,
which Is about $50 miles long. All
these valleys are from twenty To forty
miles wide each, They vary some
what. but this is about how they run.
