NEW OFFICE CREATED.
The warden Will Find Enough Co
DO 90 Keep Him busy.


Our local nimrods and sports have
only just awakened to the fact that
the Legislature at its last session
passed an Act creating the office ol
Fish and Game Warden. The ap-
pointment Of this officer rests in the
hands of the Boards Of County Com.
missioners of the several counties,
whose duty it is to appoint Fish and
Game Warden for their county on q
petition being presented and signed
by twenty or more resident taxpayers.
This appointment is to be made an
nually at the first regular meeting oil
the Board in April. Wardens must
take the usual oath OF Office and fur
nish q bond with two sureties, to be
approved by the Board.
Their duties consist mainly in en-
forcing the State laws and county and
municipal ordinances relative to the
protection of fish and game. They
are fully empowered 10 make arrests
for violations Of these laws in any
county in this State. Each Warden
must report quarterly to the Com
missioners of his county, showing the
arrests made. convictions had, fines
collected, and other matters pertain
ing to the duties Of the Office.
The salary Of the Office is fixedIby
the Commissioners and paid out OF
the general funds OF the county. War.
dens may appoint deputies, but are
personally responsible for their COM
pensstion.
The Legislature has passed particu-
larly stringent measures looking to the
protection OF fish in Nevada streams
and the game preserves OF the State,
and this Office of Fish and Game War
den has been created as an adjunct,
evidently, to the fish and game pro-
lection laws, and practically creates
additional assistance for the peace Off
GERS in enforcing the criminal statutes.
Violations OF these laws are made mis-
demeanors, and subject the guilty
offenders to heavy fines and penalties,
informers in some cases receiving half
the fine.
The Isaac Waltons and DIR. Carvers
Of this good burg are seriously con-
sidering the matter OF petitioning the
Board OF Commissioners TO make an
for this county, and 1t is
possible that dozen Of the boys will
soon be electioneering for the place.

NEvADA's MINERAL wEALTH.

Salt Lake Tribune, April IL: In
speaking Of the benefits to southeast
ern Nevada Of through railway line,
+. X. McNsmee, District Attorney of
Lincoln county, who is at the Cullen,
remarked last night: "The new rail-
road will open the biggest mining
propositions in the county. The line
taps the old Pennsylvania mining dis
trict ten miles east of Meadow VAL
ley wash. and comes within seventeen
miles OF DeLamar and within forty
miles OF the smelter site OF the Key
West property at Bunkerville. Then
1t will give market to the farming
districts in the Muddy, the richest ag-
ricultural district in the State. The
line will run through Las Vegas val
ley, also an agricultural district capa-
BILE Of supporting 300 families; will
also tap the old Potosi lead mines and
mining districts Of Good Springs and
Manse, leaving Sesrchlight forty miles
to the east. The road is graded to
Phoebe. and no doubt the rails will be
laid to that point. The completion Of
the branch to Phoebe will cause re-
newed activity to the old Ely and
Bristol mining districts, where there is
an abundance of ore that can be
profitably worked when railroad facili-
ties are at hand.
"The road will help the cattle in
dustry in Lincoln county, and espe.
cially in the southern part. where it
has been almost impossible at certain
times in the year to drive cattle to
the market on account of the heat
and lack of water. The people Of
Lincoln county regard this railroad
move as fortunate event, as there is
no question but that after the through
line is completed there will be cross
roads from Eureka and Austin on the
north to Chloride and Marvel on the
south, opening up every mining dis
trict in southern Nevada"

: POISON TO THE CHILD.


In recent address before the
woman's conference of the Society
OF Ethical Culture, at New York city,
DIR. Felix Adler said:
What looms up as of most con-
spicuous Importance in the average
home are the luxuries of life and the
delicacies of fare. Luxury in the
home is poison to the child in that
home. Mothers who have young
children. and mothers should have
young children the greater part of
their lives. should not spend all their
time gormandizing and gowning and
In going TO matinees. They should
be taught that education is one of
the greatest of the grand things of
life"
DIR. Adler suggested as . remedy
for gloomy schoolhouses. smaller
buildings. sun rooms, clubrooms and
conservstories.

Epsdemic Among Horses.

E. o. Crane of Steamboat infoEms
the Reno Journal that an epidemic
has broken out among the horses in
his locality. 1t is first evidenced by .
swelling in the hind legs, which
spreads to the body. Death results in
three or four hours after the malsdy
first evidences itself. A veterinary
surgeon, who was called out, was much
perplexed over the symptoms, but
pronounces it kidney affection.

nURPHY,s LATEST

Mr.. Blinker" Murphy, who writes
some very clever things for the San
Francisco Examiner occasionally, gets
off the following bit of witticism ct the
expense Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany and Nevads's new State Board of
Assessors, recently in session ct Car
son:
1.-THE Espee has got to stay in poll
tics. Hays tried the goody.goody
business over in Nevada, and you see
how 1t worked. Don't you know what
happened over there =? Well, you
don't know nothing.
"Well, I'll tell you what happened
over In Nevada. You see. when our
main finger over there left the stage.

to him: "A good man has gone. Some
body ought to 60 over 10 Carson and
look after them fourteen assessors and
see they don't get into the hands Of
anarchists and socialists and Frank
Newlands and that kind Of cattle.
"When / was a-running . railroad
in Manitoba, says the President. my
company didn't need nobody to look
after Legislatures and Assessors. I'm
a-going to inaugurste the Canadian
system over here. We'll trust the
representatives of the people 10 do
what's right
"And what happened? Why them
fourteen Assessors socked it to u be-
tween the eyes. They have raised
the Seepee from ten million to twenty
million, and if we make Q kick they'll
chain our car wheels to the tracks,"

Lipton's Yacht Will Race Again.

QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 30.-Sir Thomas
Upton, who arrived here to-day on board
the White Star steamer Celtic from New
York, says the report that the Sham
rock II was for sale in New York was
quite untrue, as he intends racing her
again in American waters next season.
He reiterated his purpose to again chal-
lenge for the Americas cup. and ex-
pressed himself as being quite satisfied
with the manner in which the Sham
rock III had been sailed. Sir Thomas de-
MED the report of disagreements with
those who were on board the yacht say
ing that at no time were his relations

Lenox Athletic Club in New York in five
rounds. Sharkey knocked Gus out before
the Coney Island Club in one round and
in the same ring two years later RunIln
beat Sharkey and knocked him out In MI
teen rounds. This performance only left
one clean knockout against Rubin that
has not been wiped out and this blot on
Ruhlins f1stic escutcheon was placed
there by "Lanky Bob Fitzsimmons, who
has not as yet given Gus a. chance to do
better next time
These are busy days down at Ruhlin's
training quarters at the Six-mile House.
1t has been a long while since Blanken's
gym" apparatus has been used so
roughly, for Gus is terror on everything
in the training quarters from the boxing
gloves to the nails in the floor. When he
works he goes at 1t with a snap and vim
that fairly shakes the building. Rubin
has reconsidered his vow not to put on
the gloves again before the big fight. Next
Saturday night Gus will journey down to
Redwood City, where he will box four
friendly rounds with Joe McAultne, who
is opening a gymnasium and boxing school
there. Joe has been having a hard trial
of it for some years back. His old man
ager, Billy Madden, remembered the time
when my bye Joe'' was a money getter
in the prize ring and when he heard Joe
was going to try to better himself In
Redwood City he volunteered Ruhltn's
services This will be the last time Ruh-
lin will put on a glove until he steps into
the ring with Jeffrfes.
Rubin may be said to be taking things
practically easy as far as outdoor work is
concerned. A daily spin from his quarters
down to the Sierra Point House and back
constitutes all his road work After his
rundown Rubin lounges around the ver-
anda with Denver Ed Martin and Charlie
Goff until dinner time In the afternoon
he works out in the gymnasium Rubin
set an unusually fast clip there yester-
day He punched the bag with terrific
power and speed for ten rounds and then
mauled Denver Ed' all over the wrest-
ling mat for five or ten minutes. 1t was
one of the few fast spurts Rubin will
indulge in from now until the time Of the
ffht He weighs 200 pounds even, which
is about six or seven pounds more than
he weighed when he knocked out Sharkey.

Of a Big Ring Of

by request of the United States Attorney
General at Washington to proceed to Tue
son and assist the officers of the Govern
ment as interpreter for the Chinese wit
nesses and in translating Chinese letters,
etc., produced before the Grand Jury.
For more than year past Chinese have
been landed at Guaymas, Mexico, then
taken overland and passed across the line
at Nogales into the United States This
was in pursuance of a conspiracy, at the
head of which was the Collector of Gus
toms, and the members of which were
receiving large sums for landing Chinese
from Mexico. The ring was exposed by a
line rider named Webb. Webb was a Gus
toms inspector, detailed by Collector Hoey
to guard a portion of the frontier nv na-
trolling it on horseback. He thought u
strange that he was never able to catch
any. Chinese crossing the line and that
certain points were kept out of his itin-
erary. So one day he disobeyed orders
and rode in a direction opposite TO that
which he had been ordered to take He
bagged seventeen Chinese attempting to
get into the United States Then the
matter was taken up by the United States
authorities. Secret Service Agent DickIs

the ring, which they succeeded in doing
admirably. One of the chief conspirators
