PRINCES ARE SLAVES
Queer Political Conditions Prevail
ing All Over Java.
SuItans and Chieftains, Although
Surrounded by Wealth and
Luxury, Are Prisoners OF
Their Dutch Masters.
Especial Foreign letter.

CONSIDERABLE interest has late
ly been aroused among Ameri-
can ethnologists by the an
nouncement that Hon. John Barrett,
the well-known American orientalist,
had persuaded one of the many ma
tive princes of the island of Java to
make an exhibit at the ST. Louis eX-
position. The Javanese village at the
worlds fair at Chicago proved a
great attraction to thoughtful Wis
itOrs, although it was a financial fail
ure. The mistakes made by the pro
meters of the Chicago enterprise will
not be repeated by those who talk of
taking charge of the 1904 venture.
which will combine educational with
business features.
Java has frequently been called the
pearl of the orient, and owing to the
magnifcence of its natural beauties
and charms many students have come
to consider it as the cradle of man
kind and some have gone SO far as to
call it the site of the Scriptural para
disc. Very few Europeans or Ameri-
cans are familiar with the tribal and
domestic life of the Javanese; and
Mr.. Hugo V. Petersen, the famous
Danish author and artist, probably
is the only foreigner who has ever
enjoyed the complete confidence of
the chiefs of all the numerous chiefs
of clans, sacred to their subjects as
princes"
A Javanese prince is an autocrat in
every sense of the word. His subjects
approach him with reverence and his
win is their law. He commands great
wealth, maintains a luxurious estab-
lishment, can satisfy every desire, ex-
cept that of free movement In the
latter respect he is to all intents and
purposes a carefully guarded prison
er. He cannot step outside of his

and chiefs call them father in

palace is a Dutch fort whose guns,
as has already been mentioned, are
trained upon the princely domicile.
The 'cratons," as the establishments
are called, have now been located
upon their respective sites for 200
years, although the religious tenets
of the Javanese provide for their re-

The Currz-Evans Mines.

1t will, no doubt, be of interest to
the readers of the COURIER to hear for
the first time the history of the pros
porous Curtz-Evans mines, as anthem
ticated by one of the present owners.
Situated on the Carson River,
twenty miles south of Gardnerville
and at the town of Loope, Alpine
county, is a group of three mining
claims, at an elevation of 5000 feet
above sea level, whose original owners
were principally Salt Lake people.
Peter Curtz took working bond on
the property early in the winter of
1900, and developed the same by driv-
ing tunnel on each of two locations,
240 and $40 feet long respectively, for
the purpose of opening up the mines
and ascertaining values at a greater
depth.
Those values having been considered
satisfactory, Captain Curtz went to
Pittsburg, Penn, and organized a
company for the further development
of the mines and for making exhaus-
tive mill tests of the ore, which soon
thereafter assumed the present name
of the Curtz-Evans Mining Company.
An old 20-stamp quartz mill at Loope
was dismantled and reconstructed into
ten-stamp battery, additionally pro-
vided with concentrating machinery
and silvered plates for saving the free
gold contained in the ore.
Roads were constructed to the mine
and several hundred tons of ore con-
veyed to the mill for reduction, which
latter proved so satisfactory that the
company decided to erect a water
power plant capable of reducing 100
tons per day.
This mill is situated three-quarters
of mile west of the mine; and the fall
from the latter to the former being l.
600 feet, a gravity aerial tramway was
constructed, over which the ore can be
conveyed to the mill at a cost of only
cents per ton.
Owing to unforeseen delays in pro-
curing machinery, the work on the
erection of the cyanide plant was sus-
pended until the spring of 1908, and
will be completed in the near future.
There are also a number of fumes
and dams in place, capable of develop
ing force for 220-horse power plant.
On the first of January of the pres
ent year Mr.. Curtz resigned the man.
agement of the Curtz-Evans Mining
Co. in favor of Mr.. A. G. Kingsbury,
his son-in-law, for no other reason
than to gain more time for the devel-
opment of other large properties in
Alpine county, among which is the
Hercules, an abandoned mining prop
erty, that showed very rich ore in ear
ly days.
Mr.. Curtz is decidedly in the front
rank, occupied by other promoters of
mining enterprises in this section of
the country.
No matter of what nature any pros
porous undertaking in Alpine may be,
it is to great extent shared and fully
appreciated by Douglas county.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, naanu-
featured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cnre on
the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any one case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars and

The well substantiated rumor that
the Western Pacific railroad company
would build into Reno has now q
foundation that cannot be disputed.
1t is learned beyond a doubt that the
company has purchased a site for its
yards and shops near the university
grounds. The Beckwith pass route is
undoubtedly the one that will be ac-
cepted. This means that the new COM
pany will purchase the Sierra Valley
railroad from the MOO, Ry. company.

Shortly after the assassination of
EmpsrorfPaul ef<Russia nerulyson. ,the
father ofefhe poet, dined with LorfsSst
Heiens, the British ambassador, In
MOSCOW. Several Russian officers OF
high rank whose names he did not
know were also guests. During dinner
q guarded reference was made to the
smperors death. why do you speak
80 gingeriy about a matter so notOri-
ous?" cried Tennyson impulstvely, lean
ing across his nelghbor, a Russian
whose breast was covered with orders.
I'VE know very well In England that
the Emperor Paul was murdered.
Count ZobOff knocked him down, and
Benningsen and Count Pahlen stran-
gled him. There was strained 81
lence; then the ambassador abruptly
changed the subject. As the guests
filed out into an adjoining room Lord
Vt. Helens drew Tennyson aside.
Don't go into the next room," he
whispered. but fly for your life. The
man next you, across whose breast
you leaned, was Count Pahlen, and
Zobofr WAS also at the tubse" He gave
a few hurried directions, and Tenny
son rushed of, threw his -cAOei1es into q
portmanteau and fed behind fast

fesses the naked fact of killing. But
mere killing a human being is not a
crime. 1t may be done in justifable
self-defense, and any man forced to 50
kill is entitled to the sympathies of the
community. From all the evidence
afforded us by the newspapers, it seems
plain that the young man killed in
order to save his own life, although he
was not then in immediate danger.

THE OLD SETTLERS.


Thursday was a good day for
the gathering of the old settlers
and they were here in large mum
bers. The people of the city had
made preparations for their pleas
ant reception and entertainment.
The crowd was so large that the
two dining halls, the G. A. r. and
Odd Fellows, could accommodate
but small part at once and as a
consequence there was necessarily
some delay before all could be
dined. 1t is said a thousand meals
were served and yet there was food
enough left over for half as many
more, fact that shows how liber-
ally the people of the city had re-
sponded to the appeals of the COM
mittee. In the neighborhood of
two hundred names were added TO
the membership of the association
during the day.
At the afternoon session in Opera
Hall speeches were made by Presi-
dent Ross, Judge Weld, Assembly
man Frear and others The social
features of the occasion were of in
terest in goodwill greetings and
reminiscent recitals. The young
people took charge of the proceed
ings in the evening conducting a
dance in the Hall with music by the
Star Orchestra. The old settlers
were guests at the dance and many
of them participated in the festiv-
tiles. A large number of people
were in attendance and everything
passed off pleasantly.

If, during this century, the men
of high and fine moral sense show
themselves weaklings; if they pos
sess only that clustered virtue
which shrinks shuddering from
contact with the raw facts of actual
life; if they dare not go down into
the hurly-burly where the men of
might contend for the mastery; if
they stand aside from the pressure
and conflict; then, as surely as the
sun rises and sets, all of the great
material progress, all the multiple
cation of the physical agencies
which tend for our comfort and en-
joyment will go for naught and our
civilization will become a brutal
sham and mockery. IT he 0 dore
