Mining has been the leading industry
in Esmeralda county since it's first set
tlement, and the output from half a
dozen districts is estimated at between
twenty and thirty millions. With the
exception of Tule Canyon district,
where some placer mines have been
found, the mines are all quartz. n
some of these are the largest veins of
the kin ever found on the Pacific
coast, says the Pacific Coast Liner. In
Hawthorne district particularly there
is untold wealth buried in quartz veins,
and for a number of years past it has
beer a matter of wonderment to those
at all familiar with the conditions sur
rounding these great undeveloped re-
sources that people with sufficient cap
ital to open up these vaults of hidden
treasure did not step in and grasp the
offers of great wealth so enticingly dis
played by a generous nature.

DISCUSSING THE PHILIPPINES.
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota Replies to
Mr.. Patterson.

At the conclusion Of Mr. Patterson's
speech on the Philippine tariff bill yester
day afternoon the Senate agreed. upon mo-
tion of Mr.. Lodge, to meet at II o'clock
am. today.
Mr.. Nelson (Nlinn.) followed with a legal
argument dealing with various phases of
the Philippine question. In beginning he
took Mr.. Patterson sharply to task for in
tecting sectarianism into the discussion.
holding that 1t was unwarranted and mex
cusable It had remained for Mr.. Patrer-
son. too, he said, to declare that the send
ing of American teachers to the Philip
pines to teach the Filipino youth the Eng
iish language s was esra,an am act OF tyranny and
northwest, he said, might as well insist that
it was tyranny and despotism to be afford
ed the opportunity of sending their chill
dren to the public schools.
ment of the minority, was based upon an
entire rnisapprehension~ of the physical and
legal situation In the Philippine Islands.
The United States government was now in
the Philippines precisely as it was in Cali
fornia from 1876 to 1850. The government
was holding those islands not by legislative
enactment, but by the executive power Of
the government. The President had the
right to govern those Islands, he urged. un-
til such time as the Congress should pro-
vide for their control The Philippine COM
mission, he said was simply an executive
aid to the President and it was idle for
senators to regard 1t In any other light If
1t were SO desired, he maintained, the
United States had ample authority to hold
the islands precisely as they are being held
today.
After drawing a word picture of the
American soldiers sitting around their
campfires in the Philippines discussing af-
fairs at home, Mr.. Nelson declared that the
American people never would consent to

pull down the flag in the islands. 1t was a
slander upon the American people, he said,
to assert as the minority did, that this gov-
ernment was not fully competent to give
the Ph1l1pplnes good government.
Mr.. McCumber On. d. presented care
fully prepared address in support of the
admin1stration's policy on the Philippine
question. He held that the proposition tina
the United States now should announce
definitely what policy it might pursue in
the future with respect to the Philippines
was uncommon He did not think Congress
mad the moral right to bind the hands of
the American people of the future by pre-
maturely pledging them to any particular
course.
Mr.. McCumber said that the commercial
advantages of the Philippine Islands should
be considered. but they We're overshadowed
by three great duties-duty to the people of
The Philippines, to the people Qf the world
ana to the people of the United States.
When these duties had been performed and
when all had been done for the bett erment
Of the Philippines that could be done by the
United States then 1t would be time to de-
termine what should be the final disposition
OF the islands SO far as this country was
concerned
At the conclusion Of Mr. McCumber' s
speech, the Philippine bill was laid aside
A bill authorizing the construction of a
bridge over the Missouri river at Kansas
City was passed.
The Senate then at 5:15 pm went into
executive session and soon after adjourned

FATE OF HINDU GIRLS.
Rajputs in Nepaul Cause Their Daugh
ters to Be Murdered.


From the Pail Mall Gazette
A Capuchin monk engaged in missionary
work in Nepaul, writing Of Hindu family
life. remarks that 1t is very difficult for
parents to make advantageous matches for
their daughters. The Hindus therefore find
means of Kidding themselves Of too many
daughters by numbering them. 1t Is we'll
known fact that Hindus Of high birth,
those who are called Rajputs. caused their
daughters to be put to death after their
birth by men specially engaged to do So.
This criminal custom had become so gen.
eral that in 1910 in the seventy-three viii
lagos Of the Allahabad district there were
only three girls under twelve years Of age.
and three years later In the town Of Agra
there was not one to be found under that
age. All had been put to death.
The English government has very natur-
ally passed severe laws against this abom-
Unable crime. but to evade them the Hindus
allow their girls to live until the age Of
twelve. after which they do away with
them by administering poison in small
doses. Orientals are past masters in the
art OF poisoning. and after some minute in
quiries it transpires that In many districts
% out Of every 100 girls have been got rid
Of in this manner. Those girls who have
been spared they marry very early, gener-
ally between fourteen and fifteen years,
and that not according to their own choice,
but by the will Of their parents, which is
decisive An Indian family Of good rank
could not keep an unmarried daughter. 1t
would not only be public shame, but also
crime against religion. To procure hus-
bands for those who have not already
found them, there are a number of Brah-
minis. old and decrepit, called Kulin Brah-
minis. who go about with the one object OF
going through the ceremony Of the seven

he fed from his native country. On June

that I had plotted an attempt on his life
stolen the jewels Of my own wife, the sui
tana, his sister, and inveigled away two Of
my sons-of whom have skin spite Of
them being minors. which they are not !"
The immediate cause Of his leaving Turkey,
said the pasha, was connected with the de-
mand Of an Anglo German syndicate for a
concession to prolong the Asia Minor rail-
way from Angora to Bagdad. Mahmud
bitterly inveighed against the corruption in
high places prevailing at Stamboul and he
mentioned incidentally that the German
emperor carried away home with him pres

amount Of a quarter Of a million sterling

CARLISLE SCHOOL RETAINED.
Debate in the House on the Indian
Bill

In the House of Representatives yester-
day, during the debate on the 1nd1an appro-
pria ton bill, Mr.. Cannon made a point or
order against the provision to appropriate
$50 900 to enable the Secretary of the In
terror to begin work In the construction Of
a reservoir on the Gila river Arizona, for
storing water to be used for the benefit of
the ella Indians. : Id
The point of order was sustained by Mr..
Mondell IWyo), who was in the chair.
Several other minor amendments We're
adopted :.
moved to strike out the appropriation for
the Carlisle Indian School. He declared
that these schools, distant from the In
dian reservations. had done more harm
than good. Experience, he said, had proven
that. 1t was money thrown away. The pol
icy was a mistaken one, In his opinion
The children were taken from the tribes.
They were educated made a show of by
ell-disposed people, after which they went
back to the dirt and squalor in which
they had been brought up. He insisted
that the Indian should be educated in the
environment in which he must live. These
Indian schools in the east were he said,
the outgrowth Of an ignorant sentimental
ism. Philosophy, mathematics and geom-
etry taught the Indians nothing. They
should be taught husbandry at home. He
said the best education possessed by one
of the Indians on the San Carlos reserva-
years in the penitentary. He had been
taught discipline.
Mr. Cannon III.) Joined with Mr. Smith
in opposing the eastern schools. He de-
clared that it was the height of cruelty to
educate the Indians and then send them
back to savagery. 1T becomes a matter
of pride with the tribe" said he Ito force
the young man to again put on the blanket
and to drive the young woman into pros
tuition"
Mr.. Sherman opposed the amendment
reading from the report of the commissioner
of Indian affairs the statement that educa-
ton on the reservation was not productive
of advancement and that education far
from the influence of the tribes, had more
than met the highest expectations
After some further discussion by Mr.
Lacey 0owa) against, and by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald IN. Y.) and Mr.. Morrell (PaD in
support Of the Smith amendment, it was
lost
Mr.. Bell (Col) offered an amendment to
appropriate $4,000 for the Indian school
Mr.. Fitzgerald IN. Y) created something
of sensation by moving that no part Of
the appropriation for the Indian school at
Mount Pleasant. Mich. should be used to
pay the present superintendent who he
said, had been charged with permitting the
debauching of Indian girls
Mr.. Sherman declared that If the s,,per-
| intendent had been guilty Of the practices
charged, the civil service law would not
protect him, and that IL evidence were nro-
duced to Justify the charges the commits
sioner of Indian affairs would Instantly dis
miss him. He proposed that Mr.. Fit
gerald go with him to the Indian office To-
| morrow and investigate the whole matter
If any one has been guilty of the things
charged said ne: he will be out of the
service before night
Without action on the amendment the
House at 4.55 pm. adjourned

PRESERVATION OF THE DEAD.
New Embalming Process Which Seems
to Solve the Problem.

From the London Telegraph.
An interesting demonstration Is now be-
ing given at the examination hall Of the
Royal College Of Surgeons Of wonderful
machine invented by Belgian doctor for
preserving the dead against the natural
law of decay. His apparatus effects SUBJ
tie chemical change in the tissues Of the
dead body, which make 1t impervious t4
decomposition. What the change Is even
scientists cannot exactly say. They know,
enough, however. to assert that 1t delayed
almost indefinitely the dissolution into dust
and ashes. This Is the latest as 1t will be
the most useful development In the ancient
art of embalming.
It's method is more wonderful than any
yet discovered because no impious hand
need touch the dead. In the more material
sense, nothing Is done to the body by
handiwork; 1t Is simply subjected to air
heavily charged with the pungent chemical
known as formaline. This air penetrateb
the whole body, and. In the course OF timeA
makes the tissues insoluble and the stomr
ach and other organs sterile. Thus decay
Is arrested without visceration. In word.
the dead are given a new life.
Proof OF 1t can be seen today In Brussels.
There, in the public, mortuary, are cof-
fined dead bodies changed by formaline into
something which resists natural decay.
Constant exposure to the air. which but
for experimental purposes could have been
avoided, has had but one result. It has
changed the skin from the pallor OF death
into a slightly brown color through desio-
cation. One Of these machines Is now in
London for demonstration before the Royal
College Of Surgeons. All the leading
pathologists in London have investigated
the new system, and It Is understood that
they are satisfied that the great problem
OF preserving the dead has been entirely
overcome.

RIGHTS TO TRADE MARKS.
Decision Regarding Residents Of De
tendencies and Cuba.

The Attorney General. In response to an
inquiry of the Secretary of the Interior.
has rendered a decision as to the rights of
residents of the Philippine Islands, Cuba
and Porto Rico in the registration of trade
marks in the United States. He holds that
Porto Rico being territory, the residents
are entitled to register trade marks under
the act of Congress. AS to the Philippine
Islands, the Attorney General says that he
does not regard them as completely organ
fzed territories and that the residents are
not entitled to the privileges of the trade
mark law.
Cuba, the Attorney General says, may be
regarded as one of the countries with which
we have reciprocal arrangements and a
