The Esmeralda county grand jury at
their last meeting authorized the en-
ployment of surveyor to resurvey the

Nye counties with the view of determ-
ming in which county Tonopah is To-
Gated. 1t is said that the camp Of
Klondike, which is located D miles
southeast Of Tonopah. is in Esmeralda

supp pose that Tonopah is also in Esmer-

GOOD ADVICE TO REPUBLICANS

The White Pine News gives the
Nevada Republicans this good advice:
"For several years past Republican
candidates for State and national Of
fices have been at a great disadvantage
in this State owing to the silver move
ment, and any Republican who entered
the race during that period did so
knowing that he was sure to be defeat
ed. This being the case, 1t is not
strange that the staunchest Of the party
leaders became discouraged. and of
late years they have placed tickets In
nomination with the sole object in view
OF retaining party organization, and
not with any hope Of success at the
polls. This year, however, everything
is changed, and if proper and united
effort is made Nevada will again be
placed in the Republican column.
But this much-to- be- desired end can
not be accomplished unless the Re-
publicans Of the State determine to
arouse themselves from the lethargy
which has overcome them. and go into
the campaign with the firm determina-
ton to win. Tribune.

W0MAN'S POWER AS
CASTER OF VOTES
Influence She Can Weld With the Right
Of Suffrage.

LONGWOOD. Pa, June 9.-The Prog
ressive Friends devoted Saturday morn
fng's lesson 20 the consideration of WON
ans suffrage. Rev. Anna H. Shaw, Of
Philadelphia, gave an address on THE
Relation of Wcman's Ballot to the
Home" She said among other things:
The fact that all men dominate all
women Is one Of the reasons why these
same men are willing to hold in sub
lection the people OF other lands. If
the ballot in the hands of men is an
educator. then woman needs the ballot
in order that she may have more
strength, wisdom, and loyalty. In
wyoming, where women have had the
ballot more than thirty years. they have
the best school system of any State in
the Union
The subject was further discussed by
Whittier Fulton, CathaTine Hannum and
". W Polk, and the thought was thrown
out that Indifference concerning the
rights of woman can best be overcome
by utilizing the influence Of the press.
In the afternoon John S. Durham, col
ored. of Philadelphia. former American
minister t. San Domingo, discussed the
condition o. his people in the North.
DR.. Rebecca Moore spoke of the good
work being done apr the eolored peoplc
by the Berean Industrial School in Phil
adelphia Elizabeth Lloyd urged that as
abolition was the watchword of Long
wood during its first twenty-five years.
so equal opportunities for the negro
should be its watchword for the next
quarter of a century. other speakers
were Elmer If. Preston, of Kennett, and
George G. Mercer, Of Philadelphia. The
closing address Of the day, on The
Higher Patriotism" was given by Edwin
D. Mead, of Boston. Yesterday Rev, An
IA H Shaw preached.
