Colonel Isaac HI. Wing was here
from Bayfield, yesterday for a short
time.
Ashland county will mold no
county fair this year, and good
many citizens across the bay, in
GLIDING the Press, seem to be glad
of it. The tcouble is that Ashland
county has SO much clay lands that
there is no such farming soil as ap-
pears on this side of the waters, and
the result is that there is not much
development in the agricultural re-
sources. Bayfield, county has no
idea of abandoning it's fairs, and in
asmuch as Ashland county is going
out OF the business they should CO.
operate with Bayfield, county. Their
first opportunity will be this week,
as the fourth annual fair of the Bay
field County Agricultural society IS
now in progress at Iron River.
William Heats, who has been en-
ployed for the Hines Lumber Com
pany and the Bigelow concern for
many years, met tragic death on
the afternoon OF Labor Day. The
engineer on the Omaha ''scoot" due
here at $50 p. m. says that as he
was approaching town coming down
the steep grade that his train was
running about forty miles an hour.
he saw man on the track and
whistled time after time, but the
man seemed to pay no attention.
He threw on the brakes, and when
about six feet from his victim Hoat S
turned and discovered his danger
and endeavored to escaped the APP
preaching engine. The train caught
one leg and pulled the unfortunate
man beneath the wheels and he was
badly mangled, and died instantly.
The remains we're brought to Esta-
brook & Olson's undertaking rooms
and will be shipped to Arcon, Michi-
gan, the home of the unfortunate
mans people. Heats was said to
be sober and industrious man and
had filed responsible position with
his company for several years.

No Other State Has 80 nnny or
Such Varied Resources

Many people, and especially hose
who inhabit the farther ee-t.=su p0f-
tions of the Union, believe ma MA
da is State without hopefui future.
They have long beeu accustomed te
hearing this country spoken Qi IS q
sagebi Ish desert; a land made and
kept barren by nature; a land OF no
promise. They know that our State
abounds In silver, but since this metal
has been robbed of its heritage In a
way of speaking, they conclude that
we have 20 other resources.
This Ia a most fallacious and harmful
idea and one which should be removed
from the minds of our well meaning,
but mis-iniormed Eastern friends as
quickly as possible.
There is no other one OF the mining
States" which has so many or such
varied resources as Nevada. And there
is not another State in the Union whose
resources are as little known outside of
her own borders "a Nevada Some of
the very finest ranches, orchards.

are to be seen right here in our own Vi
cin!ty. The mueh-vaued lands OF Cal

inland empire, as capable of self-main-
tenance as any State in the Union. But
the people OF Nevada are not selfish.
They extend the hand of invitation
and welcome TO all worthy people who
desire to come and cast their lot with
Us.
Nevada is State With snail popu

cies but in spite of them. Our pros

having been on the road almost two
weeks. With this delivery everything
is now on the ground TO complete the
plant and its arrival points to an early
resumption OF work on the mill ana

of machinery is 2250O pounds.

THE COPPER OUTLOOK

The price of copper is slowly going
down, and those interested in the in
dustry. either as producers, consumers
or dealers, are watching tie market
with much Interest il not anxiety. 1t
is thought by some who are in posi-
tion to know the real condition of
things, and who are as thoroughly IN
formed as to supply and demand as
modern means of information will ad'
nit, that the present lowering price Is
only temporary. Large consumers
have not yet made their annual con-
tracts, aud are said to be stock taking
at the present time. This done, exten-
sive orders are expected, which will
stimulate the price, aud a recovery TO
10 cent copper is anticipated 10 conse.
ouence. The optimistic ones also say
that the shutting off OF production Of
about 90, 900. 600 pounds of the Ana.
conda Montana, out put necessitated
by the shutdown OF those works for
several months during summer, TO en-
able them to make improvements In
the reduction plant, will have tend
ency to aid the market. 1t is contented
that none of the large producers have
apy considerable amount OF metal on
hand. The export trade, however has
fallen off considerably and prices are
relatively lower than in New York.
Copper has had very favorable
year, and the high market price, to-
cether with cheaping OF cost of pro.
dueiion in many districts, has had the
effect of stimulating production In a
marked degree. Tho demand for cop
per has apparently kept pace with the
production, however, and there Is no
immediate indication that there will be
material decrease in the requirement
of copper Throughout the industrial
world there is demand for cheaper
power, no matter what tie price may
have previously been. Ia many in
stances this demand is met by electric
installation which calls for large
amounts of copper scientific Press

THE AUTOMOBILE.


An item originating with the Elko
Independent, claiming that the Auto
mobile has proven failure between
here and Wells, has been extensivel,
copied by the State papers, very much
to the dscredit and injury of the en-
terprise. In so far as the facts con
tanned 10 the article are concerned,
which were given out by Mr.. Wolf
who was given free ride on the trailer
along with the baggage of four Other
passengers, II is quite true that thai
particular trip was not success owing
to the damage done the machinery or
other runs by the dust, together with
braksge OF the internal parts to one
OF the engines cylinders, which was
not detected until the machinery had
all been taken apart. As consequence
OF this brake, one cylinder was entlrel,
disabled, and the other one did remark
ly we'll to pull the Automobile ana
Its load as far as it did.
The dust OF our roads. the most
troublesome factor With which we all
have to deal, has wrought havoc with
the bearings OF the machinery, which
has heretofore been unprotected, buf
notwithstanding this the Automobile
has to Its credit previous record OF

most troublesome obstacle. Should
this covering answer It's purpose-and
No elieve II willard no further o.
insurmounIable obstacles present them
selves, which Is not at all probable, the
machine will again demonstrate that it
can and will make the run from here
to Wells in one day. However, 10 Is
out OF the question 10 expect one ma-
chine TO make $50 miles every day with
out stopping to be cleaned up or re-
paired. With the assistance OF thre~
more machines the undertaking will be
a decided financial success, for The pres
ent one has fully demonstrated thai
the automobile is not only a feasible
but a practical proposition when oper-
ated over this road.
