A Good Scheme

Several Carsonites are interesting
themselves in scheme that looks
good for the community at large, both
young and old. 1t is proposed to es-
tablish an assay Office in connection
with the public school Professor
Mitchell, who not only known assay
-ng theoretically, but practically is
willing to instruct Q class at the OPP
ening of the term at the public school.
All that he asks is that the School
Board allow a small fee for his work,
II it may be done by the County Com
missioners. A furnace can be ar
ranged in a safe and convenient place
in the school and the appliance can be
secured at a small cost The charges
for assaying would be nominal, say
fifty cents for an assay. This small
sum will not only pay for the material
used, but the boys who are receiving
instructions would receive what cash
was left for the time and trouble ex-
pended in crushing and grinding the
ores. A class in practical assaying
would result IN a number of the stud
ents receiving a practical education in
a line that can be followed in any town

The Fuller Case

The News of last evening, charges
that Fuller. who was sent to prison for
seven yesars from Austin, was rail-
roaded into the penitentiary and that
his wife was also railroaded into
the asylum.
Such a case demands immediate at
tention. If the cargo is true, then
some one responsible for such an
outrage ought to be taking Fullers
place in the penitentiary and begin
the cracking OF rocks. The Appeal al
so learns that an attorney charged
Fuller $500 for looking after
her estate. This seems 4 rr,'!y stiI
fee to charga a woman presumably IN,
sane, and it is further stated that he
rendered her Il, service fer this fee

No Combine

the charge replied:

true that such a combine has been
formed. 1t would be folly for any
three men to attempt to antagOniZe
guess that any OF the three of US
named has been in politics long enough
to know better than to attempt such
a balloon expedition as that. You are
at liberty TO say for me that the thing

DEpLoRABLB ACCIDENT.
Charles G. Cook Meets an Untime-
ly Death.

The sad news reached here Tuesday
morning of the untimely death Of c.
G. Cook at Steptoe. From what we
are able to learn regarding the acct
dent, it appears that Mr.. Cook and his
brother-inl law, Johnnie Hudgens, had
just completed putting in round OF
holes in the face OF q drift, and were
both engaged in loading the same. Mr..
Cook was using an iron seraper as a
tamping rod, and, it is presumed, acct
dentally struck the giant cap and igni-
ted the powder. The force OF the ex-
plosion threw both men considerable
distance and showered hundreds of
rocks upon them, but Mr.. Cook being
nearer the explosion, received nuner-
Gus bodily bruises and fatal internal in.
juries, while Mr.. Hudgens escaped with
few slight injuries.
AS soon as Mr.. Hudgens regained con-
seriousness, he discovered that his part
ner, although conscious, was unable to
help himself, and he Immediately set
out for the ranch, which is two miles
from the mine, to procure assistance.
The injured man was shortly removed
to the ranch, and careful examination
by DR.. Davis proved that he had re-
ceived numerous external and also IN
ternal injuries from which he could
never recover, and a few hours after
wards he submitted to the Inevitable
death.
Charles G. Cook was born in Arizona
25 years ago, and has followed mining
all his life. Some three years ago he
came to White Pine. He and a Mr.
Culver leased and operated a nine in
Cocomungo for a year or NOR. Fer
the past year Mr.. Cook has been oper-
ating the Grand Deposit mine at Gran
tie district. Only last week was he in
town with nice gold bar, representing
a successful cleanup of ore milled from
that mine.
Sad indeed is it that life so young
and happy and with such bright future
prospects should have been taken away
in such a deplorable manner; leaving
behind wife of only year to mourn
and grieve his loss, besides numerous
friends and acquaintance in Cherry
Creek and Ely.
The funeral will take place 10 Fly to-
day at noon from the church build.

The fact that after long illustrious
career upon the bench Judge Hawley is
a poor man is subject in which the
ill-advised OF Mr.. Newlands' partisans
are endeavoring to find political capital.
The industrious scrutiny of his pub
lie,record by his opponents fails to find
one instance where he was hot an i'm
partial and upright judge. The people
OF this country are not solicitous that
those whom they clothe with the en-
mine shall amass riches. Money is not
the criterion by which they estimate
the integrity, ability and character of
public servant. In the case OF Judge
Hawley, far from it, We are proud I'M
der the circumstances that he is poor
man! 1t is no concern to us that he
pays no taxes in any State in the
Union. We know that he has lived on
his income and within it. That he has
lived honorably and WELL owes no man,
and he walks the earth envious OF no
millionaire.
There are some men whom the al
mighty dollar is but token to meet
lise's daily exigencies and to do a kind
ly act. Such man is Judge Hawley
He is covetous, but not of money. The
measure of his reasonable wants sup
piled, the balance of his purse lies open
to all who are needy. His covetous-
ness is for the respect and esteem fhis
fellow men and not of gold aud tinsel
such men the public knows it can
trust. They are as rare as the per,
fnne OF the sand lilies thatin the spring
