America is located at Madison, thirty

never before been held within $50
miles of this institution inhabitated by

PAINT IN THE FALL

Fall painting is best; the

You want your paint to

REVENUE LEGISL ALTON.

Senate bill 10, an act to establish a
more uniform system OF revenue
throughout the State was reported UNI
favorably by the Committee of the
Whole. Mr.. Wilson, who was
member of the Joint Committee who
drew up the bill and reported it favor
ably, made the motion to kill it, The
bill reduces the State rate from one dol
lar to eighty cents. The idea is to pass
the work to the next legislature just as
revenue reform has been passed on to
the next legislature for twenty years,
each session acknowledging its inability
to cope with the question and afford
the relief the people call for. The
Silver party platform pledged this re-
form to the people and twenty-five
members of the House were elected on
that platform.
The taxpayers who were expecting
the twenty per cent reduction will now
have to settle at the old rate and out
side capital will continue to shun in
vestment in State which has the
highest tax rate in the Union. The
bill is now on the table.

SAMPSON UNDER FIRE.

Some people have an unfortunate
knack of saying unpopular things, and
Admiral Sampson seems to be one oil
them. A soldier, before now, has made
his reputation by happy speech at a
critical time. Gen. Grants "uncon-
ditional surrender will live as long as
his name lives. 1t happened that 'un-
conditional surrender" had the initial
letters of the Generals own name. 1t
was happy thought. But Sampson
seems never able to open his mouth
"without putting his foot in it. A
man named Morgan, gunner on one
of the war-ships, asked for the privi-
lege of being examined for promotion
to the place of commissioned officer.
Sampson replied in substance that
Naval Officers must be gentlemen. 1t
was very unfortunate thing to say;
a still more unfortunate one to write,
and now the papers are abusing him
from North TO South. 1t may, indeed,
prevent his advancement in the Navy.
Why could he not have written some
thing that would have redounded to
his credit for ever? There was Samp-
son, once,-his name is in the Bible
who said something that people praise
today. This Admiral of ours is quite
another man. He will do well to think
twice hereafter, before writing or
speaking He will go down to poster
ity with his strength shorn, like his
Biblical namesake.
The Baltimore American remarks:
This is the opinion of the cad. Lit
orally interpreted, it means that Ad-
miral Sampon would have the official
list of the navy converted into a regis
ter of bedecked and bedizened society
tops. He wants men who can wear
dress uniforms becomingly, who can
dance with the poetry of motion, who
can spend their time saying meaning
less nothings to ladies. We had sam
pie OF them in Sampson, and the ma
ton should give everlasting thanks
that when the crucial moment arrived |
there was man there to fight and win |
the battle-a man who was and is |
one by birth, breeding, and
training, and who did not waste his
lime in the gay social circles. Admiral
Sehley. than whom there is no truer |
gentleman, was not afraid of the noise
md smoke of battle, and because he
was not the nation won everlasting |
glorY.

THE STATE FAIR.

The Carson News accuses Mr.. New
lands with being the cause of the reten-
ton of the State Fair at Reno. Mr..
Newlands, the News says, is the first
representative of Nevada who ever
dictated or attempted to dictate what
the legislature should do regarding
minor bills. Naturally the people at
large so far as expression has been
given, do not like this unwarranted
interference.
II any one has lingering doubt that
Mr.. Newlands did the work, they are
referred to the current rumor that his
managers agreed that If the above COM
promise measure was accepted Mr..
Newlands would put up sum sufficient
to mako Ormsby's donation equal to
that Of Reno.
There are a great many features in
the deal that are unsatisfactory to both
Carsonites and the denizens of the Riv-
erside town and 1t rem aims to be DEM
onstrated what the result will be.

WANT BETTER MAIL SERVICE.

Realizing the uncertainty and the
many difficulties in getting our mails
by way of Eureka, the business men
and citizens of Ely have circulated and
signed petition to the Post-office De-
partment for relief. They readily see
that daily mail from Wells direct to
Ely, will be better than any service ev-
or rendered, heretofore. This will give
us our Eastern mail twenty-four hours
earlier than we now get it, on six days
of every week, and forty-eight hours
earlier on the other day. By getting
the Department to allow the stages to
leave Cherry Creek for Ely, as soon as
the stage from Wells arrives, and by
avoiding McGill's, our mail would ar
rive in Ely about A. NJ, every day.
This is according to the regular rum
ing time, at all seasons.
To go into particulars: The train
leaves Ogden, we will say, at , P. M.
1t arrives at Wells drumming daily in
six or seven hours. The stage takes
up the mail Immediately, and starts for
Cherry Creek, reaching that place at
8 p. NJ, the year round. The official
register shows that they do not vary
thirty minutes In twelve months. The
Ely stage will then take the mail, and
reach this place by six o'clock the next
morning. This will give us our Salt
Lake papers, and our Eastern mail dali
ly from Ogden to Ely in forty hours.
As 1t is now, not having any Eastern
mail at all, on Wednesday, we get the
Sundays and the Mondays Salt Lake
papers at the same time, on Thursday
morning. BY the proposed Service we
would get those papers, on Tuesday
and Wednesday mornings, -forty-eight
hours earlier in the one case, and twen-
ty-four hours in the other.
The San Francisco mail would, OF
course, be affected in the same way.
The people of Southeastern Nevada
have long desired this change. 1t will
be a great relief to this community,
and especially to the twenty-odd Mi
ming and Milling Companies now ope-
rating in and around Ely.

DEATH OF Ex-PRBSIDENT
HARRISON.

The flag was at half-mast in Ely on
Saturday, out of respect for ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, who died in Indiana
polls on the 18th. Gen. Harrison was
in many respects great man. he
was one of our best Presidents. The
country greatly respected and honored
him. A coincidence is noted between
his death and that of his grandfather.
President William Henry Harrison,
when he died, was 6S years, l month
and % days old. Gen. Benjamin
Harrison was 81 years, months and
days old-a difference of only & months
and % days. They died the same way.
Each caught a cold, which brought on
a chill, and then followed pneumonia
and death.

THAT STATIONERY BILL.

The Carson News does not like the
allowance of 500 made to each member
of the Legislature for stationery. The
News declares that there Is not mem
Der of the Legislature who can show
that he has spent this money for any
legitimate purpose.
The State of Nevada furnishes all the
stationery that Is necessary for use in
the two Houses of the Legislature, and
the members might just as well, and
with as much reason reach into the
treasury and haul out $40 each for ci-
CARS during the session.
The thing is steal.
Even II the State did not furnish the
stationery, ten cent tablet would be
all that would be needed by the men,

PROVISION AGAINST FIRE.
What might be done to Save the
Town.

The possibility of eonhagration in
any town, built principally of wood, is
always apparent to every one. During
every high wind, the thought in every
ones mind is concerning fire. 1t may
not always come from our stove-pipes
or chimneys. Innumerable kinds of
accidents are possible. Chicago was
destroyed because some man or woman
knocked over a burning lamp, while
milk ing COW; an ignominious begin
nj ng of one of the most disastrous fires
of the world. Fires have been known
to originate from match which had
been used and then cast carelessly
aside. Cherry Creek was almost de-
stroyed by the explosion of lamp.
The causes might be extended beyond
the patience of man to read. In most
places the property of citizens is cover
ed from loss by Insurance. In Ely there
is little or no insurance. 1t becomes
the duty OF all, therefore, to guard as
much as possible, against the spread of
fire.
A year or so ago this matter was ag-
itated; meeting was held; plans were
drawn, and estimates OF cost were Sc
cured. Nothing was done at that time
because nothing seemed feasible. Now
the matter has taken new turn. A
bill has been introduced into the Leg
islature by Mr.. Paul, aud has passed,
enabling the citizens OF Ely to bond the
town for fire purposes, il they so desire.
The News has interviewed several OF
our prominent citizens, and they think
the matter ought to be considered pub
licly. Mr.. Fred Clark was the Secre-
tary of the meeting spoken of above.
From him we learn that the estimated
five thousand dollars. The plan was
to make reservoir at the top of the
hill, tapping the ditch at point just
back OF where Mr.. Paul used to live:
and running pipes into the several
streets of the town.
The line then proposed was as fol-
lows the figures representing length OF
pipe in feet.

ker residence, 4s0; Aultman, East and
} West, 645; Court street, East, $40; ma.
king total of 1886 feet
The water was, of course, to be OBJ
tanned from the ditch, and the natural
pressure is supposed to be sufficient tc
, throw stream over any of our low
houses.
The water could then have been OBJ
tanned, and can perhaps now be obtain
ed for $40 year. The hope is that we
should not have to use IL often.
II the town should bond itself fol

matter not worth thinking about?

OLDEST COPPER MINE.

The Oldest copper mine, practically,
in America, is represented to be the
Ely -Copperfeld mine of Copperfeld,
VT. 1t has been in the possession of
Boston people, but was recently sold to
Pittsburg syndicate, and since then
extensive development has been made,
and new ore bodies opened.
The mine has been successfully and
proftably operated since 1920. The
main working shaft is down nearly five
thousand feet on the incline. AT one
time during an active period in the de-
velopment OF the mine, 1000 men were
employed upon the property. 1t has
produced as high as five to six million
pounds of refined copper per annum.
1t is expected that the coming year will
show production OF from 1000 900 to
10000, 900 pounds of refined copper
