Another Company Formed.

c. d. Van Duzer writes from Phila
delphia that he has succeeded in
forming a big mining company, com
posed of Pennsylvania capitalists, to
operate Tonopah mines Van took
options on large group of close in
properties, and his success in placing
them with the right people was as
sured when he started east. No
one is more familiar with the re-
sources of Nevada than Mr.. Van
Duzer, and there is no more aggres-
sive aud fearless writer and talker
for Nevada than Van, and we feel as
sured that the men whom Mr., Van
Duzer associates with himself in To-
nopah mining properties will be men
OF ample means, with business
force aud judgment to make for
themselves and the property they
have taken a record altogether
worthy of the combination of brains,
money and mines The good mining
claims of Tonopah are fast passing
into the hands of companies, and we
are in favor of cooperative combina
ton Work that cannot be accom-
plished by the individual readily
yields to the combined efforts of in
dividuals, and thus we are prompted
in extending the hand of welcome
and protection to that generous
speculative capital of the eastern
states that make it possible for us to
develop our mines and open the store

GOlden's New Block.

Friday evening Frank Golden, the
successful leaser who invested thou
sands of dollars in the mines of Tono-
pah before he realized a dollar, re-
turned from Reno where he had been
swelling the carnival numbers, to
supervise the construction of his
two-story granite building on the
corner of Main street and Brougher
avenue The building will have a
frontage of thirty-two feet ON Main
street and one hundred feet on
Brougher avenue. There will be two
stores on Main street and three on
Brougher avenue, all with French
plate glass fronts. The upper story
will be divided into office rooms, all
of which have been spoken for by
professional men of our town. Tono-
pah owes its rapid and substantial
growth to the leasers upon whom
fortune smiled. Such men as Frank
Golden, VIM. Sinclair, Cal and Wilkes
Brougher, T. l.. Oddie, H. c. Cut
ting, Thomas Lynch, A. H. Bass and
others have re-invested their earn
ings in upbuilding this district. The
building to be erected by Mr.. Col
dens money will be a monument to
Tonopah's prosperity, proving con
clusively that he has confidence our
mines will yield millions of dollars as
development work is prosecuted

Is among the heaviest losers. the

paper was issued in an abbreviated
form tonight.
There has been more or less disorder
about the street to-day, but the police
have been very active and the militia
has been of great service in handling
the crowds. The streets were piled
with houshold goods and strewn with
small articles thrown from the win
dow5s. Some of this property was con-
iscated by passers by, but the amount
of thieving was small compared with
the opportunities offered by the con-
fusion.
The number OF injured was very
small and in all but one or two cases
the injuries We're slight.
The streets are being rapidly clear
ed and the trolley service will soon be
resumed.
The ruins of the Scovill House blazed
UP again this evening and caused some
alarm, but the renewed activity of the
flames was caused only by the heavy
wind from the west blowing the smok-
ing embers. There was little to burn,
only the front doors and a few VIM
dow frames remaining unconsumed at
the time that the blaze broke out
afresh.
Estimates by experts tonight place
the total loss at close to S2,500000.

rate of about twenty miles an hour.
Two vessels are ashore on Brigantine

The schooner Edith l.. Allen. which
went ashore during the night on the
same shoal within a short distance of
the Claverdale is also fast in the sand.
The schooner, which was bound from

New York. Feb 3.-The gale which
has been sweeping the coasts of Long
Island and New Jersey for more than
twenty-four hours and Is continuing
tonight though with abated force, has
brought death and disaster to sailors
and their craft. Reports of loss of life
are confined to the eastern end of Long
Island, whence comes news that sew
eral bodies have been washed ashore.
1t was not known up to 10 o'clock to-
night what vessels the men who lost
their lives come from. They might have
been on either the barges towed by the
tug Richmond, reported as passing
without tow Block Island bound from
New York for Newport, r. l., or the
tug Cuba which passed Block Island
two hours later, which left New Lon
don, Conn.,, yesterday for Newport
News and was returning without tow.
The crew of the American merchant
man Schepp, a full-rigged ship which
went ashore ON Eongbeach, Long ISL
and, shoals early to-day, were in peril
all day Late reports tonight saw
they are still on the stranded vessel
though the danger of death has been
lessened owing to the slight abate-
ment OF the storm.
A westerly gale was blowing az
the rate OF seventy miles an hour
when the Schepp struck at $3.50 O'clock
in the morning. The life savers of
Capt. Rhoades' station and those of
the Longbeach station under Capt
Van WfclSlen made several attempts
to shoot the life lines over the Schepp,
but the efforts were not successful
Then they tried to launch the life
boat but this, too, proved impossible
owing to the high seas.
The crews of the seagoing tugs John
r. Berwind and T.. S. Atwood had a
very narrow escape from going to the
bottom with their craft Sunday after
noon. Nothing was known Of their
plight until the arrival to-day OF the
1tihiail ntcatbSF siSdfVelOna, the crew
of which rescued the tugmen. The tugs
had been delivering provisions to the
stranded steamer Cavour. ashore at
Longbeach, l.. l., and were proceeding
back to this point. When the gale
struck them the waves began to wash
over them, not only sweeping off ev-
erything movable, but flooding their
holds and getting into the fire boxes.
The seven men on each tug were in
imminent danger of death for over two
hours.

and sixteen Barely Alive-Forty
Men Stfu Unaccounted for.
Eagle Pass, Tex. Feb S.-Eighty-
four bodies and sixteen men barely
alive, some of them horribly mangled,
have been taken from the Hondo
mines, The foul odor from the mines
caused the search for the bodies to be
temporarily discontinued. but disinfec-
tants arrived this afternoon and the
work viii be resumed.
The shaft had 11S men enrolled and
IS are still missing, Twenty-Five head
of dead mules have been taken from
the shaft.
The damage to property is very
great, The company has obtained all
the physicians and nurses that can be
secured from all points and is doing
everything possible to save any of the
miners who may still be alive.
The scene at the opening of the mine
was horrible to contemplate. Wives
mothers and children of the dead and
mangled men, who perished in the ex-
plosion were screaming and crying as
they refused to leave the scene.
Forty stiH Unaccounted for.
OF those who are known 70 have gone
into the mine there are as yet about
forty to be accounted for. These are
not likely to be living. for, 1t not killed
outright, the deadly carbonic acid fol-
lowing the explosion will unquestiona-
bly, overpower the remaining men.
A pathetic story is told of a little
muleteer. who was brought up alive.
His brain was injured and he contin-
ue running around in a circle. His
brother recognized and embraced him,
exclaiming, My brother!" On being
released the little fellow again began
running around and then dropped dead,
The direct cause of the explosion is
not yet known. The accepted theory is
ignition by slaked light The mine is
about twenty-five feet deeper than
those adjacent, having a depth of 375
feet and is a dry mine, consequently
fine explosive coal dust finds lodg-
ment on the ledge and floor
and is often an unsupported danger.
combination of gas and dust may
account for the explosion. General
Manager Johnson of the Mexican In
ternational Railroad is also general
manager of these mines. He went to
the mine on special engine Saturday
and is still there. A dozen surgeons
secured from accessible points along
the road and from the frontier are
doing all that is practical for the liv-
ing. The dead are being buried.

GOV. TAFT TELLS A. SECRET.
frightened Purse Strings on Military
Officers and Taught Them Respect
for Civil Government.


Is Washington. Feb. s.--Gov. Taft to-
day continued his statement before the
Senate Committee on the Philippines
regarding the conditions existing in
those islands He said that the in
structions to the commission which
gradually placed more power in the
civil government had had q marvellous
effect on the people. There had been
doubt as to what the policy of the
United States would be- THE subordi-
nate military officers" he continued,
were a little bit contemptuous of what
we were doing, because it seemed to play
so unimportant a part in the situa,-
tion, but when the. power over the
purse strings began to tighten in the
matter of appropriations those gentle
men who were spending the islands
funds began to appreciate that there
was some power behind the commits
SION
Gov Taft said that the theory of
the commission in their formation of
civil government is that the indispen-
sable aid to the ultimate success of
popular government is the extension
of education, but that the effect OF
this could not be felt for generation.
In the meantime" said he, 1.-THE reli-
ance of the commission is on the small
educated portion of the community
who form a nucleus about which, with
the aid of American control, we think
a stable government can be erected"
He could assert, without hesitation,
he said that lacking American initta-
tive and American knowledge of how
to carry on a government any govern
ment there must be a complete failure.

ROTTEN ALASKA OFFICIALS.
Mr.. TilIInan Asks Pertinent Cues
tions About Their Salaries.


tions About Their Salaries.
Washington. .tFeb. 3.-Mr. Tillman di-
rected attention in the Senate to-day
to an article in a Washington news
paper relative to the case of Judge
Arthur Fl. Noyes of the District Court
of Alaska, who was fined $1,000 recent
ly by the Circuit Court at San Fran
cisco, and that of associates of Judge
Moves, who were involved with him.
Mr. Tillman read the article which in
dicated that Judge Noyes and his as
sociates are drawing large salaries
from the United States while the case
against them is pending in the courts.
One of the men, according to the
article, who is serving his sentence,
continues to draw salary.
Mr. Tiilman made running comments
upon the statements in the article. di-
recting all his sarcasm, ridicule and
invective against Judge Noyes, finally
inquiring:
"By the way whose bushes is ii to
remove this MANI
Mr.. Foraker of Ohio believed IL
might require impeachment proceed
ings to remove Judge Noyes
Mr.. Teller, however, contended that
the President had ample power to re-
move a territorial judge.

Gen. Wheaton and others?" sharply in
quired Mr.. Beveridge.
Mr.. Tillman: Il will drag into this
discussion an Associated Press report
from Manila"
Mr.. Beveridge Now it is an AS
sociated Press man."
Mr.. Tillman: Then you either have
a censorship there or you have not
You swear you have not and then
when the reports come you say They
are not ours "
Mr.. Beveridge: 1T is hopeless. When
they begin to discuss the constitution
and we take them up on that, they
come to censorship. When we say that
none exists, then they go to war,
bloodshed, pillage and murder
After some sharp personal colloquy
in which the Indiana and South Caro-
lima senators ridiculed each other, Mr.
BeVeridge proceeded to relate an Incl
dent of the burning of village, and
said t-iat upon investigation it proved
that it was the act of the insurgents,
his purpose being to disprove some re-
ports against the American soldiers.
Brought ON More Argument.
Mr. Tilllnan arose and asked Mr..
Beveridge
From whom do we get the state
ments that the insurgents or rebels or
whatever they are, did all this burn
ing?''
The American authorities" replied
Mr.. Beveridge.
And is it customary" inquired Mr..
TIllman, 'to determine a case from
ex parte sratement?"
why does the senator always in
slst that any authority which comes
from an American source is a false
hood, while everything that comes
from the enemy is the truth?" retort-
ed Mr.. Beveridge
For the same reason replied Mr..
Tillman, that in my own state when
its capital was burned in 1865 there
was an infamous assertion that we
burned it, when everybody knew we did
not do it,"
Now, Mr. President said Br. Bev-
eridge, laughingly, 1--WE are back again
on ancient history, which l decline to
discuss"
After some further discussion the
Senate went into executive session and
soon after adjourned.

voted to-day to general debate upon

stitute which is designed to prevent
the fraudulent sale of oleomargarine
under the gulse of butter.
Mr.. Henry of Connecticut, in charge
of the measure. made the opening pre-
sentation in It's behalf following close
ly the arguments of the committee
which reported the bill.
Mr.. Burleson OF Texas opposed the
bill. which, he contended, would se-
riously injure the cattle and cotton in
terests of his state.
Mr.. Clayton of Alabama closed the
debate for the day with a speech
against this bill. While the latter was
arguing against 49, constitutionality
of the measure and appealing to his
brothers on the Democratic side to

Pittsburg Pa, Feb. 3.-The remains
of Edward and John Biddle, the dead
bandits, arrived at the Pittsburg and
Western Railroad station at II o'clock
this morning and were at once taken
to the Plttsburg morgue. Hundreds of
persons gathered about the station.
When the train drew In there was
rough scramble To get to the platform
Of the depot, during which several
were bruised by being crushed against
the sides Of the stairway An immense
crowd soon gathered at the morgue,
but a large detail of police prevented
them from entering the building. The
remains of the murderers were turned
over to their brother. Harry Biddle. To
prevent the demolition of the collins
and the mutilation of the bodies, which,
in all probability, would follow their
burial II the spot were generally
known, Harry Bddle has arranged a
secret plan to dispose of his brothers
remains without letting the public
know where or when the interment
will take place.

and anything she may say concerning
the escape and subsequent capture OF
the trio. Mrs. Soffel Is lying in the
Butler Hospital, and though still sick
woman, her case is not considered really
serious. She made a statement to-
