ANEW ERA FOR NEVADA.

There are more new enterprises or
foot for the developement OF Nevada''
resources to-day than at any time since
the bottom fell out OF silver. They art
not wildcat schemes gotten up by ire
sponsible boomers for the purpose Of
defrauding unwary investors but solid
and substantial business investments
back by men with horse sense and
money OF their own.

mines are being discovered and de-
veloped in all parts of the State. The
Delamar mine in Lincoln county is one
of the greatest gold mines in the West
and the April DOL and Magnolia in the
same district will soon rival it in pro-
duction. White Pine county is not GO
ing to be left behind. Ely and Cherry
Creek are both coming TO the front and
within short time will surprise the
world.
The fact OF the matter is, the old
boom days are over. We have paid the
penalty of our folly and are ae ain on
the up grade. We have learned the
lessons taught by adversely. The CLAM

were as common as silver dollars now
has been dispelled and extravaganza has
yielded to sound business sense. A new
generation has grown up and taken the
lead, men who have spent life time in

mountains and her sage covered valleys,
her invigorating atmosphere and her
freedom of manners and would not live

This is the class of men who are
building up our industries, why should
we not honor them by choosing from
among them our representatives in the
halls of Congress, instead of sending
term after term men who do not con-
tribute a nickel to our advancement.

ABOUT DAVE RYAN.
Silver Party Candidate for State
Treasurer.

In selecting Dave Ryan for the posi-
tion of State Treasurer OF Nevada, the
Silver Party Convention chose one OF
the very few men in the State who
could be depended upon to administer
that responsible office efficiently and
with credit both to the State and its
officer. A mans past record is the only
safe guarantee of his future perform
ances and the two terms during which
he has filed Office Of County Clerk and
Treasurer of Storey give testimonial
of his honesty and ability that cannot
be improved upon.
Mr. Ryan was born in New York, but
has resided on the Pacific Coast from
boyhood up, and received his education
In the public schools and business col
leges of California. Leaving school he
became city collector and assistant
book keeper in the wholesale grocery
house of Milliken Bros. of San Fran
cisco. Forced by III health to seek en-
ployment elsewhere, he resigned that
position and came to Nevada, where he
has made his home for the past twenty
years, filling many responsible position (,
until he finally engaged in business foI
himself in 1886, when he entered the
stock brokerage business with Al. Nc
Donell, which business they still contin-
ue both in Virginia City and San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Ryan is also a member Of
the merchandise firm of Ryan & StensOn
of Virginia and Nevada City. He owes
his success to his own energy, persever-
ance and capabi' ity.
Four years ago he was chosen to fill
the responsible Office of County Treas
urer, duty he so well performed that
he received denomination at the hands
of his party two years ago and received
a testimonial of the confidence and re-
gard of the public in the shape OF re-
election. During hisincumbency of that
office he has done many acts of unos-
tentatious charity and has in innumer-
able cases paid the delinquent taxes of
unfortunate householders.
Four years ago when not in Office he
cashed between SO, 900 and "a, 900 worth
of county script, issued to pay the
judges and clerks OF election, the treas
ury being empty. By doing this he kept
some warrant shaver from making some
s400 or $500, but he rendered a mater
ial service to men who needed it, and to
do so was willing to wait months for
the return of his money when the taxes
came in.
Mr.. Ryan's chief characteristics dur
ing his career in public life have been
his unimpeachable integrity and his I'M
swerving fidelity to his word. His abil-
lty as an expert accountant, which safe
guards him against possible mistakes or
on the part of subordi-
nate, and his own reputation for strict
and unimpeachable honesty, both as a
county official and business man,
should entitle him to majority of the
votes of the taxpayers of the State at
the November election for the Office of |

ANOTHER. STEP
IN THE PLANS
The Scheme Will Be Completed BY the
First of the Year.

WAsHINeroN, Dec. 22.-The war de-
partment has not yet made definite
plans for the muster-out of $4,000 vol
unteers, which was decided on at the
cabinet meet ting Yesterday, but It is un-
derstood that work will be pretty well
mapped out by the first of the year. The
completion of the muster-out will de-
pend on whether the department adopt
the plan of three-months' furlongh or
immediate discharge, with two months
extraepay, as suggested by Congressman
Hull. It has been practically decided TO
muster out all the volunteers in the
Philippines as fast as they can be re-
placed with regulars, so as not to ham,
per the military administration of the
island. Following the discharge of the
regiments of the Philippine stations, it
is understood the volunteer troops IN
the West Indies will be mustered out.

GIFT
FOR DEWEY
He Becomes Ranking officer of the Navy
On December 18TH, on the Ritire-
ment of Bunce.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The press says {:
On Christmas day Rear-Admiral Dewey
will become the ranking officer in active
service of the United States navy, Rear
Admiral Bunce, commandant of the
navyyard, now holds that place, but as
he has reached the age limit, he will,
while still remaining commandant of
the yard until his successor there is ap-
pointed, be officially retired.
When the order from Washington
reached Rear-Admiral Bunce that he
continue in command in the yard until
relieved by the appointment of his sue
cessor, it created great deal of gossip
in the navy yard club and among the
officers of the ships.
A few days ago, although Rear-Ad-
miral Schley had asked for sea duty,
and it was generally believed that he
would command the squadron of the
European station, unofficial information
came from Washington that he would be
named as commandant of the New York
yard, but now it is believed among the
officers IN the yard that the officials in
Washington have decided to wait the
arrival of Rear-Admiral Sampson, at
present on his way home from Cuba,
before definitely determining upon the
more important assignments made nee
essary by the retirement of Rear-Ad-
miral Bunce.

Train Broke in Two.

MEDFoRD, Or, Dec. 22.-Northbound
freight train No. 90 was badly wrecked
in the Medford yard this morning at
about four O'Clock. The train broke in
two about six miles south of here, on a
heavy down grade. The engine with
several cars had just pulled into the sta
tion and stopped when the loose cars
crashed into them, demolishing' seven
cars and Jamming the wrecks of five
cars into a space of 20 feet, and pilling
the trucks on top of one another. None
of the crew knew the train had parted
until the crash came. Luckily no one
was hurt. Trains have been able to
pass on the sidetrack without delay. A
wrecking crew was sent here from Ash
land, and the track was cleared late this
evening.

BOTH CARS ARE
BADLY DAMAGED
One, the HOOdOOed "Fifty- Eight is the
Same Car Which Ran Off Bridge
Nearly two Years Ago Within a
Short Distance of the Scene of the
Present Accident, and When Sew
eral Lives Were lost.

PORTLAND, Dec. 23.-At 8:15 O'Clock
this morning car No. So east bound. and
car No. y west bound, on the Mt. Tabor
division of the City & Suburban Rail-
way Company's lines, came into heavy
collision on the trestle over the slough
at East Morrison, and East Eighth
streets.
1t is curious coincidence that the ac-
dent took place on the exact spot where
q car ran off the bridge just year ago,
when a number of lives were lost, and
that the car that is most injured this
time, No. 80, is the one that was con-
csrned in the previous accident.
The person most seriously injured to-
day is Henry w. Prettyman, of Mt Ia
Dor, DR.. A. G. Panton, who attended
him, says that the muscles of the neck
are badly wrenched and that he suffered
considerable from getting chilled on the
way to his home.-
James S. Boyles, a timer, living at
$50 East Alder, was considerably bruised
and shaken up, and was taken to the
Good Samaritan hospital. After an ex-
animation showed that he was not SER
iously injured and plaster was placed
on his side he left that institution un-
aided.
Mics Octavia s. Drake, a teacher in
the Mt. Tabor school, was cut under the
shoulder, and although the wound was
painful and bled profusely, it is not con-
sidered serious. Her clothes were torn
badly, and she was bruised more or
less.
An unknown man sat on the sidewalk
groanihg for some time after the COLI
sion, but left without anyone learning
who he was. 1t is thought that he
could not have been 60 very badly in
jured.
It was a foggy and frosty morning, re-
calling that morning four years ago
when a car of the East End Railway Co.
ran off the Madison bridge with fearful
loss of life. The ear that was coming tow

ard town was well loaded. A fair rate
of speed had been maintained all the
way from Mt. Tabor, and at sunnyside
car was met on the single track. Some
discussion arose between the motormen
as to which should go back to the switch
and the down-bound motorman insisted
on his rights, compelling the other car
to go back.
From the top of the incline at East
Twelfth street fast rate of speed was
maintained, the motorman keeping his
gong sounding constantly, so as to warn
the motorman of any approaching car.
When almost at the foot of the incline
the other car was heard coming, and all
on the platform except the motorman
jumped, as collision was seen to be in
evitable. The motormau of the other
car had already seen the danger, and re-
versed his car and jumped. but before
the current had time to take effect the
cars came together with a terrible crash,
which was heard for blocks.
The passengers on hedown car were
thrown IN a heap in the front end of the
car, and though shaken up, were unin-
iured. The down car was not badly
wrecked, but the other was driven half
off it's trucks. the windows we're demol-
ished and the front platform was
wrecked. If the motorman of that car
had not jumped he would probably have
been killed.
