AS TO FIRE PROTECTION.
An Artesian Well Is Recommend
ed by Business Men.

Il has been discovered that the spec
ial Act passed by the last Legislature
authorizing Ely to issue bonds for the
purpose of providing a suitable fire
protection system is defective and with
out force for the reason that, while II
provides for the issuing OF So, 00o 10
bonds, tie tax levy mentioned, namely.
twenty cents on the 500, viii not
raise the funds necessary to pay the
bends as they become due. Ii appears
that in fixing the amount of the tax
levy the total valuation of property in
the county was taken into consideration
instead of that embraced within the
boundaries Of Ely, and the result IS we
will have TO get along without fire
protection system until the next Legis-
lature correets the error which has
been made
On an assessed valuation of $40, 900 4
tax levy of twenty live cents ON the
300 would raise only s175 year aud as
the bonds provided for must be paid
within eight years the total amount
collected for this purpose would amount
to less than 81, 500, cut of which would
have to be paid the principal and in
terest and the expense of issuing the
bonds.
1t is suggested, as one way out OF the
difficulty, that an artesian well might
possibly be secured at a comparatively
small expense. The Beal core drill,
which is now being operated here, is
said to be especially adapted for the
sinking of artesian wells, and no doubt
a satisfactory arrangement for its use
could be made with the owners. Some
of the leading business men of Ely
have expressed a willingness to con-
tribute to fund for trying this exper-
iment, and no doubt a sufficient sum
could be raised il proper effort were
made. Then the fact being demon
strated that artesian wells are possible
In this locality would render valuable
large tracts of land to the east and west
OF US, which are now regarded as worth
less, and In other ways the investment
might bring good results.

Good Fruit Crop.

r. A. Riepe, who returned on Tues
day from trip into Nye county. re-
ports the fruit crop at Currant Creek to
be the best ever known in that Sec
ton. The pears and plums, 10 particu-
lar, are a most bountiful crop and the
yield of apples is so heavy that the
branches of the trees in many instances
have been broken off by the weight OF
their load. Mr. Reipe estimates the
yield OF fruit 10 that neighborhood
at between eighty and one hundred
tons, and says the grain and hay eroF
Is equally prolific

monument from very prominent New

then this firm has sold fine monu-

On Thursday evening flood swept
down Steptoe valley, covering the low

on Friday, a so-called cloudburst del.
uged the country to the west of town.
The streams of water pouring down the
mountain sides covered the road up
the canyon with boulders and debri:
and the flood which swept through
town was the greatest ever known
here. Many citizens watched the tor
rent with anxious eyes, being fearful
lest some of their property might be
carried OF, but fortunately no serious

FISH BECOMING SCARCE.
Old Riverman Says the Laws Are In
effective.

An old fisherman, who has followed the
business for many years, said to a star
reporter this morning that oysters and
fsh are getting very scarce in the Potomac
river. and it is his belief that something
VIII have to be done to protect them. The
laws on the statute books Of MARYLAND and
virginia, he says. afford Potomac river
products no protection whatever. MANY
people say the spring fishing season "a
backward this year, but this veteran fisher
man says poor results are due to the
scarcity of fish.
Years ago. he said, fish and oysters were
plentiful Fishermen on the Potomac river
always ala well with their nets Now he
says, there are so many pound nets from
AleNanorla TO the ocean that il is hard for

tninks, should be done 10 prevent this

CONVICT LABOR.
Why 1t is Used on Certain Street
Work.

why III Is lseu on terrain Strect
Work.
At recent meeting of the Central La
Dor Union it's secretary, Mr.. John H.
Brinkman was directed to protest, in the
name of organized labor, to the District
Commissioners against the employment of
convict labor upon the work incident to
street extension. Mr. Brinkman did so,
stating that 1t has been said that this class
of labor has been utilized In the manner
above stated on Genessee street, Bright
wood, K southeast and 18th northeast to
the injury Of honest and law abiding work.
ingmen, residents of the city. TT is the
hope of this body, said Mr.. Brinkman
that this assault upon the interests of
honest labor Of the District of Columbia
will in the future be prohibited, and needed
employment given to those Of our citizens
who abide by the laws of the United
States
The Commissioners gave due considera-
ton to the protest, and it is understood
that, upon the suggestion of Capt Beach,
the Engineer Commissioner, they will re-
ply that the work referred to is being done
in pursuance of the following clause of the
District appropriation act, approved March
l, 1901:
For purchase and repair of cars, carts,
tools or the hire of the same. and horses,
to be used by the inmates of the Washing
ton Asylum in the work of grading, and
pay of dump men needed to carry out the
work, $1,000 From this the Commission
ers think it can be readily seen that the
appropriation is not available for the hire
Of any labor except that of dump men,
and they are careful to secure other than
convict labor for such positions. Not one
penny, they state, of any appropriation ex-
pended by them is paid out on account Of
convict labor and the work done by the
chain gang is, they say, entirely over and
above the work accomplished under the ap-
propriations provided by Congress. If the
labor Of the chain gang were not utilized
they state, the work would simply go un-
done, and they contend that the employ
ment of the men in the gang does not di-
minish by penny the funds available to
pay for labor. What they do is in addi-
ton to what would be accomplished other
wise. They also explain that If the SER
vices of the chain gang were not utilized,
the appropriation for the purchase of carts
etc, for their use would simply lapse, the
result being that the dumpmen would be
deprived Of their positions and the makers
Of the needed implements would lose a sale
which they would otherwise make The
Commissioners also explain that they are
without authority to use the appropriation
in question in any manner other than the
present one, and that if it is not so used it
will simply result in the expenditure of
that much money, and the citizens being
deprived of the improvements which its
use would secure
