Why Spiders Are Not Ircccts.

The spider is not an insect,
though probably nine people out of
ten would class it under this term.
With scorpions and mites spiders
form a class in the animal kingdom
known as arachnida. This name is
derived from a mythical parsonage
called Arachne, the daughter of a
purple dyer of Lydia, who was
tabled to have challenged Minerva
to Il trial Of skill in spinning. so
indignant was the goddess at this
act of boldness that she forthwith
transformed the hapless challenger
into "A spider, presumably in order
that she might have the best posi-
bic opportunity Of practicing the art
on which she prided herself so
much.
Spiders differ from insects in five
main particulars. Their eyes are
simple instead of compound, they
have eight legs in place of six. they
do not pass through the metamor-
phoses which are Characteristic of
insects, they have no antennae, and
their breathing is accomplished by
means of organs which combine the
functions of lungs and gills, instead
of by tubes pervading their bodies.
These points of distinction are suifi-
cient to determine the fact that it is
impossible to class spiders as insects.

Robbins VS.. WilkersOn ct ais.

The Austin Reveille of last week
has the following in regard to the
Robbins VS.. Wilkerson case which
came up before Judge Jones in the
District Court of Lander county at
Austin
Robbins VS.. Wilkerson ct als.-A
Nye county case referring to litiga-
ton in Tonopah
When this suit was commenced in
Nye county, plaintiff asked for and
obtained temporary injunction
against defendants and asked for and
had T. L. Oddie appointed receiver
of the property in dispute.
Cooke & Williams, attorneys for
the defendants, noticed a motion in
the District Court of Nye county to
have injunction dissolved and order
appointing receiver vacated, and
notified p. M. Bowler, attorney for
plalntlh, that they would call up
the motion at Austin on or about the
goth inst, at which time and place
attorneys appeared before Judge
Jones.
When the Judge, in open court,
called Mr. Cookies attention to the
statutes and suggested to him that
the Court had no jurisdiction to hear
motion as noticed, in Lander county
unless by consent, and Mr.. Bowler
objected to motion being heard in
Lander county. Mr. Cooke asked
leave to withdraw the motion and
moved the Court to dismiss the same.
which motion was granted and the
proceedings thereupon terminated .

Surrenders to the Mules.

The steam traction engine that
was to be operated between Soda
vile and Tonopah has surrendered
the job to the mules. Mr.. Calder
head and associates, after consider
ing everything, concluded that the
expense of building a wagon road for
the iron horse would not warrant the
outlay, for in a very short time a
railroad will be built to Tonopah.
The gentlemen comprising the Trac-
ton Engine Company are all men of
means and were prepared to make a
success of the venture had not the
building of a railroad at once into
this district become an assured fact.
The engine will be taken to Carson
or Reno for the present.

WILD CAT MINES.
The CRATER is at Work---OnIy Legiti-
mate Mining Sanctioned By the
People Of this District.

1t is evident to all who are &C
quainted with the different locations
in the Tonopah Mining District, which
surrounds this town, that several
grafters are becoming promoters in
wild cat schemes. Their mode of
opera tionS will be to bond a piece of
property, hav, printed glowing
prospectus of the mine setting forth
the many rich veins running through
the ground, the high assays, etc, all
of which does not exist and cannot be
had until depth is attained, or in
other words until the Gaping which
covers this section has been gone
through
A company that sinks a shaft
along the lode in Tonopah to encoun-
ter one or more lodges and sells stock
to carry on the work, setting forth
facts as they exist, is what can
be truthfully termed a legitimate
mining proposition, but when few
grafters by lying statements and a
hashy prospectus beguile the unsus-
pecting, he or they should be paraded
in their true colors and properly
branded. That there is fraudulent
scheme about to be worked the
BONANZA is aware, and if the parties
attempt it their thieving work will
be exposed,
This camp has been developed on
its true merits by the strong arm of
the miner, and every time pick was
struck in the ground he became a
producer, not ''grafter' who lives
upon the money obtained from honest
individuals by his oily tongue and
thieving schemes The BONANZA will
show up any "grafter company that
may prepare to operate here.
If at any time persons about to
buy stock in Tonopah mines will
write to the BONANZA it will give the
inquirer the true merits of the prop
erty and any other information de-
sired. One wild cat" will injure
this camp so severely that it would
take many months to recover from
the blow. There are plenty of legit-
innate mines to be opened up here,
but those investing their money
should know that shafts will have to
be sunk, and many of them 800 feet
The BONANZA will stand for honest
and legitimate mining and nothing
else.
