WEEPAH, Aug. 9, 1902

W ALI IA ico-'
Ed, BULLELIN The first wedding
to occur in Weepah took place on the
night of the I'd instant The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Jefferson
Jones of Silver Peak and Miss Alvira
Clark of Ray, Nye county. Justice
Callahan came over from Candearia
to perform the ceremony. Miss Mary
Clayton was bridesmaid, while R. A.
Martin acted as best man. After the
ceremony the happy couple were the
recipients of congratulations and
good wishes from their many friends
in the camp, May they have fair
sailing on their journey through life,
is the wish of we scribe.
Superintendent Barnes of the Typo
Reduction Companys properties at
Tybo, Nye county, was a camp visi-
tor last week, being the guest OF
Manager Ish and his staff. Mr.
Barnes expressed himself as being
very favorably impressed with the
showing in Weepah.
Development work in progress on
the Darrough group has been great
ly retarded of late because of bad
air encountered in the workings even
in shallow shafts. 1t can no doubt
be accounted for by the hot, sultry
weather we have been having here
lately.
We had a refreshing shower here
last Tuesday, the first since early
Spring. The tanks in the granite
about two miles northeast from
camp, which were dry, are now said
to be full of water again. We had
another refreshing rain on Friday.
Billy Uren, Jack Thoma, Fred Full
Ter and a Mr.. Jones left here this
week with their outfits and tools for
the lower end of Tule Canyon, where,
we understand, they have secured a
lease on the Eagle Pass mines, the
property of Sheriff ingalls, and Jack
Nancy.
A new strike of high grade ore is
reported from the Ida valley coun-
try, but we have been unable to get

The surveyors have completed the
work of surveying the pipe line from
Cottonwood Canyon to the Pamlieo
mine. They have also made surveys
for milisite near the Pamlico and a
tramway from the Lapanta mine to
the millsite. Tunneling for an in
creased water supply is now in pro
gress in Cottonwood
Socialism is spreading in this coun-
try more rapidly than any other
political organization. Its converts
are drawn from all other parties.
Wherever it gains foothold it never
yields its advantage. It's growth
and development are greatest where
its doctrines are best understood.
At the election in Oregon two years
ago the Socialist vote was 1866; this
year it has risen to $3.50. a gain of
nearly 300 per cent.
The stage going from Candelaria
to Tonopah was held up about a mile
out of the latter place Tuesday night.
The highwayman stretched a rope
across the road and stopped the
stage. He took the Wells-Fargo
treasure box and way pouch. There
were no passengers on the stage.
The amount of booty secured is va
riously estimated at from $50 to
100000. Hunting parties are after
the robber and are confident of his
capture, as he had but an hours
start.

Worked Hard for the Bill.
Chairman Maxwell Gives Honor
70 Whom II is Due.

As Senator Stewart has been in
terviewed all over the country as to
the part Newlands took in irrigation
legislation, Stewart insisting that it
was Insignificant, we publish letter
recently written by Mr. Maxwell,
chairman of the Irrigation Associa
ton, we'll known for his indefatiga-
bic work in advocacy of the cause of
the arid West:
July 20, 1902, Irrigation Association,
1907 Fisher building, Chicago.
My Dear Mr., Newlands
am sending you by this mail some
newspaper clippings which thought
might interest you.
l doubt whether any one else re.
Allies as we'll as l do how much the
coed results achieved for irrigation in
this session of Congress were due to
your personal efforts and influence.
OF course those who have attended
this session of Congress or read the
proceedings know how you have TAX
en- advantage fevery opportunity to
present the arguments in favor of
national irrigation policy to your fell
low-members in the House of Rep
resentatives, but there are very few
who know how much you have done
in committee and in the iunumerable
conferences with friends of the meas
ure, and through your quiet but per-
sistent missionary effort among the
members of the House personally.
| can hardly see how we conld ever
have gotten through with the task if
we had not had the aid of your never
failing patience and cordial courtesy
to wear away the friction points and
finally bring order out of chaos.
l am doubly grateful that the
press of the country, as shown by the
clippings | send you, recognizes the
leading part you have taken in the
great work of creating new nation
in the now arid region, and gives you
credit for it. Too much credit it is
not possible to give you.
With sincere personal regards be-
lieve me as ever,
Very truly yours,
GEORGE H. MAXWELL,
Executive Chairman National Irriga-
ton Association.

WATCH THE SMALL CHANGE.
fs4s&d More Than Are tbs
Larger Pieces,

did you ever think how little a tten-
terfedts in making changer" asked an
old bank teller of friend, relates the
Chicago Tribune. And did YOU ever
think that most of the attention that
is paid to it by the public is so much
waste of effort?"
But it is fact. You never think
when the street car conductor puts
the change from quarter in your
hand that both dimes may be counter
felt. You take one-dullar. two-dollar,
five-do,lar and ten-do,lar bills from
anybody in change without ever n
thought as to their genuiueness. But
If a stranger tries o pass a $50 bill on
you you begin to get shaky, while $50
or 500 bill is almost impossible to be
rid of in street of small shops.
yet you could hardly hire q counter
feiter to try to make and pass bills
above ten dollars in value. If stran-
ger should come into your place of
business and ask change for $50 bill
it would scare you stiff for fear of a
counterfeit. whereas the chances
would be 999h in 1000 that the bin wa S
good.
You noticed the other day, on the
other hand. that the United States gov
eminent was much concerned over the
counterfeit one-cent piec. that are
now flooding Chicago. Yet III bet you
never looked at the genuineness of
one-cent piece in your life"

press Views on Philippine Issues.

Roman Catholic Societies ut Chicago Ex-
press Views on Philippine Issues,
Chicago, Aug. S.-The temper of the
convention of Federated Catholic So
cieties relative to the Philippine ques-
ton was put to the test at the closing
session yesterday. John L. Keating,
a national officer of the Hibernians,
offered a resolution dismissing the
friar and Philippine school questions
with a mere expression of satisfac-
tion with the manner in which the SUBJ
ject is being handled by the Vatican
and the administration When a vote
was taken Keating was the lone
4'aye."
The convention then adopted resolu-
tiOns expressing cOn--ence that the
president will rigidly inquire into any
abuses ''in our territorial possessions"
and promptly rectify the same, and
that lin his dealings with the serious
problems arising in the Philippine ISL
ands property and personal rights guar
anteed by treaty, laws and constitu-
ton will be faithfully safeguarded and
protected"
Theconvention sympathizes with the
friars, and pledges them ''o'lr support
as American citizens" in upLolding the
government in its determination to give
them justice. "The Vatican and the
American government" are congratu-
lated on the present position of the ne
gotiations, and confidence is expressed
in their outcome.

EVERYTHING IS LOVELY
And There Are Few Clouds Over the Sky
of Trade Activity.


New York, Aug Or. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Bright prospects in agricultural sec
tions far outweigh the adverse infiu-
ence of labor disputes, which are still
retarding trade and manufacture. Con-
fidence in the future is unshaken, deal
ers everywhere are preparing for a
heavy fall trade. while contracts for
distant deliveries run further into next
year than is usual at this date Ac-
tivity has been noteworthy in lumber
regions, and fish packing made new
records. Railway earnings are fully
sustained, the latest returns showing
an average advance of 3.9 per cent.
over the corresponding time last year,
and 21.S per cent. over 1900.
Thus far imports have had little
influence on domestic prices of iron
and steel except as to billets, which
are freely offered below the home
market level. The machinery and
hardware trade is fully sustained, but
there is idleness at tin plate mills and
glass factories. Footwear factories
are well engaged and the tone of the
market is firmer. Hides continue their
upward movement. Splendid growing
and harvesting conditions have pre-
vailed in most sections of the coun-
try. 1t is now almost certain that the
agricultural returns will be far above
the average as to quantity, while
stocks are low, which is good for
prices.

ANOTHER PIT HORROR |
Powder Explosion Sets Fire 20
the Deadly Damp in a
Colorado Mine.
THIRTEEN ARE KNOWN TO BE DEAD
Others Expected To Be Added to
the Roll of the Lost
Eight Identified.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug S.-A special to
The Chieftain from Trinidad says: a
disastrous explosion occurred last
night at No. 3 mine at Bowen, IL small
camp about ten miles north of here.
Thirteen lives are known to have been
lost. The exact number of men work
ing on the night shift and in the
mine ar the time of the explosion is
unknown. The mine is worked by the
Union Coal company, of Denver, and
is slope mine, sistuated on the noun
tain side, about 400 yards from the tip
pie below. The explosion occurred
about 500 feet from the mouth of the
slope, and was caused by fire damp
Immediately after the night shift had
started in the slope startling explo-
sion occurred, entirely filling the mouth
of the slope and shaking buildings and
breaking windows for mile distant.
Mine Filled with Gas and Smoke.
Owing to the mouth of the slope be-
ing filled the rescuers were delayed for
some time. but succeeded in reaching
part of the men through an old slope,
and eight dead bodies We're quickly
brought to the surface. The mine is
filled with gas and smoke and the res
cuers are afraid of afterdamp and are
unable TO stay in the mine more than
short time. Mothers, wives and
children of the dead and imprisoned
miners are almost crazed with grief,
and the scene presented at the mouth
of the mine is most pathetic one.
Names of the Known Dead.
The known dead are: James Hunter,
machine runner; Tilden Winfield, col
ored helper; Mike Cassidy, blown to
pieces; Joe Gordon, colored drillcr; Joe
Saucey, machine runner; Thomas
Sierra, Frank GrOat and Weller FL

Caused by Powder House Exploding.
The powder house i'm the mine, usu-
ally containing LOCO pounds of powder,
blew up, and it this which caused such
destruction and death The general be-
lief is that the entire mine has been
ruined, and if not it will take months
to get it in working order again. The
rescuingparty is pushing forward with
all possible speed, and before many
hours the exact number of lives lost
and the total amount of damage can
be determined

said the settlement of the great coal
strike can be delayed longer than by
threats of any other kind. 1t has
been decided by the Lithuanians
around Shenandoah to mutilate every
miner who yields and re-enters the
coal company's shafts, and thus to
mark him for life.
Ihls allegation comes from Rev.
Charles Edwards, pastor of Shenan-
dOah Presbyterian church. Edwards
formerly was state president of the
Young Mems Bible society. He saws
that the young men in his congrega-
ton. which is made up principally of
mine workers, have informed him that
the foreigners have decided upon this
brutal action, so that those who go
