Mrs. Starrett has been a resident oil
Battle Mountain for upwards Of twenty
five years and was a lady much beloved
for her gentle, kindly ways. She was
ever ready to speak a helpful word or do
a helpful act.
A large gathering of friends were at
the church to take the last look on one
whom they esteemed so highly, and they
saw her face looking beautiful in the
calm of death. II Is we'll with her. She
is released from the pains and sorrows OF
life, but her husband and children who
loved her SO tenderly are left to the
grief OF their loneliness, waiting for a
gentle voice they do not hear. and the
tender caress they cannot feel. Their
trouble is a very sad one, and for this es
tiniabl woman to be called away with
out d moments warning calls for the
heartfelt sorrow of all who hear of the
sad bereavement.
Tho grave now holds all that was NOR
tai of a loving mother. Her face will
never again light up the family circle.
Butout and beyond this vale of sorrow
shines her pure spirit, a beacon light to
guide the sorrowing family to that home
when love dwells eternal and sorrow
never enters. May the memory of their
loved one dwell with them forever.
This NEvADAs extends its heartfelt
sympathy to the stricken family.
FAREWELL dearest mother. Your
Memory will ever be cherished,
BY your loved ones you've left behind.
Can it be we are parted forever?
All we have left dearest father, is you,
To protect US till we meet -.
Mamma, in the sweet bye and bye.

Following is DR.. Hoods report of the
examination and the verdict OF the Cor
oner's jury:
DR.. w. II. Hood made an examination
of the body and found the following con
dition. the examination being made
about 2:30 p. m, Saturday afternoon;
"Rigor mortis was well marked. The
only evidence OF external injury was a
large gunshot wound in the back. The
entrance was on the right side about
three inches from the medium line on
the level Of the fifth dorsal vertebra.
The wound ranged horizontally inward
toward the heart shsttering the bones or
ribs. passing in front OF the spinal col
umn. There was no exit OF wound. The
examination shows that the wound was
sufficient to produce instantaneous
death"
sWe, the undersigned jurors, sum-
moned to appear before T. Il. Hagar, ex-
olicio Coroner Of Argenta Township
County of Lander. State Of Nevada, on
The 2nd day Of August, 1902, to make due
inquiry into the cause OF the death of
Mrs. e. L. Starrert, find that deceased
came to her death on the End day OF
August, 1902, at Rock Creek, located
about twenty five miles north east from
ths town OF Battle Mountain. Lander
county, by the accidental discharge OF a
shotgun while in the hands of her hus-
band, E. Il. Starrett, said gun being dis
charged while being taken from the
wagon, one of the hammers OF the gun
striking on the arm of the wagon seat,
causing same to be discharged. From
the evidence produced, we fully believe
that the cause OF her death was ACCT
dental.
Deceased was about 81 years of age
and n native OF the State OF Maine.

RICH STREETS.

Work of repairing the streets of
Wallace, Idaho, for the winter sea-
son has been started. Many of the
old crossings were torn up and re.
placed by heavy planks. Other
crossings are being put in where
they have been needed for long
time. New planks are being added
to the sidewalks where dangerous
holes have existed for few months.
The street grades are being fixed
by tailings obtained from the con-
centrators of this section. Wallace
is noted for having the best streets
of any city in Idaho. 1t is the only
city in the United States, as far as
is known, that has silver paved
streets. This seems a 1emarka BILE
statement, but the assays made
from the tailings show that the
ore is worth 81 and little more per
ton, which is nearly as rich as some
of the ore taken from a few of the
lesser prospects of the section
Thousands of tons of this material
have been used in making the
streets of Wallace, thus conveying
the idea of the vast richness of the
street beds of the city. The fire.
quent inquiry of many newcomers
is why the mining companies dc
not save the tailings of their values.
It is because the machinery is ye,

fare do not solve the question.
Some contractors offer a bonus to
those who will stay the season
through. This works with some,
but with the rover the matter of a
few dollars more or less is no in
ducement to steady and consistent
work. Of recent years the difficulty
has been overcome to some extent
by the use of mechanical contriv-
ances for doing the work that for
merly demanded many hands.
This has mitigated the evil, but has
not eradicated it. Probably it will
never entirely disappear until the
woods themselves have been wiped
off the country. Then the solution
will be up to the next employers of
this class of labor.-Grand Rapids

ANTITRUST LEOISLdTEf)N

It is understood that the presi
dent will urge upon congress in his
forthcoming message the necessity
for immediate Legislation in res
traint of monopolistic com binations
Mr.. Hoar, chairman of the senate
judiciary committee, and other
eminent authorities agree with At
torney General Knox that the Con-
stitution, as it stands, empowers
congress to take all needful steps
for the regulation of trade between
the states. Senator Hoar has de-
clared the trust wills to be-:
IL. Destruction of competition.
"2. The management of indus
tries by absentee capital.
"3. Destruction of local public
spirit.
-. Fraudulent capitalization.
70. Secrecy.
&c. Management for the private
benefit of the officers.
~. The power to corrupt election
and in some cases to corrupt the
courts.
"8. Indifference to public senti.
ment."
"1f," said the senator, "the first,
fourth and fifth can be cured, the
cure of the others, in my opinion,
will follow" And he declared that
the three evils named can be cured
by act of congress. There will be
no difficulty in getting the contem-
plated antitrust bill through CON
gress this winter if the Republican
leaders will permit it. Democrats
will offer no obstruction: The ques-
ton is whether or not their chronic
servility to the monopolistic COM
bines is to be abandoned.-Was

the COMMENTATORS. That, too, shows
that the machinery is still crude.
The water of all creeks near a con-
centrator is of a lead color, and it
means death to the animal or per
son that drinks it. It's effect is
much like the disease of consump.
ton, as the animal that drinks it
gradually wastes away until death
comes. Many dog in this district
has died from drinking the water.
In order to get water for the people
1T is necessary to go far into the
mountains and bring it into the
cities by means of long fumes.
AS years go by much better ma
chinery is being turned ont by the
American inventors, and it is ex-
pected before many years that every
mining company will be able to
save every cent of the values con-
tanned in the tailings and that the
machinery will be of such a fine
grade that the water which is pass
ed through concentrations will
come out as pure as when it entered
1t was only a short time ago that
two men put up few sluice boxes
in the canyon, about two miles from
here, for the purpose of working
over the tailings, and they would
have made good profit had it not
been that the trust would not pur-
chase their concentrates.

PIG IRON.

~AA~ GSAA~ASAA AAAeAAAo6SA
OF the Iron and Steel Association,
has ascertained that our production
of pig iron for the first half of this
year was 8,808,574 gross tons. This
is an immense amount of iron
more than we made in any year be-
fore 1890, in which year we first ex-
ceeded the make of the United
Kingdom; more than Great Britain
made in any year before 1899, and
more than the aggregate output of
Germany and Luxembourg in any
year.
Our average monthly product
for this year has been greater than
our production for any year before
1859. Then, under the stimulus
of duty of 50 per ton, our make
has increased from 831, 100 tons in
1865 to 1,711,287 tons in 1869. But the
reduction of the duty to So per ton
destroyed or impaired commercial
confidence to such an extent that
new furnrces were not built, nor old
ones repaired. Instead of increas-
ing our production it fell off by
over $4,000 tons for 1878 and in 1871
we made only 1,706,693 tons. In the
mean time the British iron masters,
who had engineered the reduction
in duty, increased their make for
the two years under consideration
from 1885, 57 tons to 6627,177; so
that while we were contributing
23.8 per cent, to the joint make of
the two countries in 1869 we contri-
buted only 20.4 per cent in 1871.
Our dear old Mother caught us
short of iron, as she meant to, and
did not do thing to us. For the
three years ending with June, 1870,
our purchases of iron and steel,
mostly from her, were valued at
sos, 1884 1857, and for the three years
ending with June 80, 1873, our pur-
chases amounted to $219,6O5, 1884,
No one can tell, even approximate
ly, how much they paid their news
papers, attorneys and other advo-
Gates to secure the reduction in
duty that crippled our iron pro-
duction, but from the persistency
of such efforts there must have
been a large margin of profit.
Our prices did not exactly follow
the programme laid down by our
best economic thought. The aver
age price for No. anthracite pig
iron in 1869 was $4062; $42 in January
and $3.50 in December. For
1872 the average price was $48.SS; $37
in January and 1888 in September.
These high grade prices restored
confidence so that in. 1873 we were
making 2,3O1 ,215 tons, and the aver
age price for the year fell to $l762,
without checking production; in
fact that increased till 1888, when
though the price averaged $22.3
the general reduction Of the tariff
prevented any increase of produce
ton till 1886, as the Wilson tariff
made our production of 9,157,00O
tons in 1892 look like 6,657,339 tons
in 1894. This was better than "look-
ing like Is cents" but it was a
pretty poor look, either compared
with what had Immediately proceed
ed it or what we are now doing.

4 MAGNIFICENT SHOWING
Presbyterians Are Pledging Lib
eral Amounts TO Trinity
University.

The following is an excerpt from
the Whitewright SUMS report of the
Bonham Presbytery held in that
city last week:
Friday afternoon was devoted to
the educational work in Texas M d
especially Trinity University. Pres
ident Kirkes of the university and
Rev. J. c. Smith of Waxahachfe
both made interesting addresses.
The material progress in Trinity
University, which Is one OF the old
est In Texas, has been almost phe-
nomenal since it was decided to re-
move 1t to Waxahachie. Taking no
note of old endowments, which are
valued at So, 900, the following mag
nificent showing is reported up-to-
date: The agent Of Texas synod
raised endowment valued at 200
last year. Under the leadership 81
Rev. j. c. Smith, the city Of Waxa-
hachie raised $4,000. President
Kirkes, who has been in the field
less than three months, has secured
several large amounts, and the en-
tire membership of the church in
Texas is responding almost to a
man. OF this work the following
may be mentioned: Corsicana con-
pregation has given 5000; a broth
er bequests 50 ZOO; Bonham Presby-
terry pledges $1,000; a gift of $500
| last week for additional equipment
| for the labratory; and other parties
whose names are withheld from per-
sonal considerations promise good
donations I'm cash and requests.
The whole work giving us some
thing like SIG5, 200 in cash and bank
able paper in something less than
two years, and this with hardly a
fourth of the Synod canvassed.

the most encouraging progress made
in this educational movement. The
Educational Commission of Bon
