In an effort to overcome any clash
between labor and capital at Tonopah
}. l.. Butler, who founded the great
camp, has addressed circular to his
fellow citizens, in which he. among
other things, says: =

They are the first handlers of all mon

THE RESULTS OF INDUSTRY.
Muscle Energy and a Little Cash
Does Wonders

A few people in this section have in
dusry enough to take chance with
the future of this county and are de-
voting their time to advancement and
helping demonstrate what is possible
with the arid acres of Ormsby.
This spring VIM. Blackwell, of Car
son Valley. concluded that this valley
was good enough to settle in and make
money in. He bought the Crow ranch
which was an idle piece of property
and set to work righting it and placing
the ground in shape for cultivation
He developed the natural springs that
are on the ranch. and built reservoir
to hold the water that came through
the farm in the spring flood. The result
is that he has pretty good looking
farm started and the alfalfa and grain
that was planted is growing nicely
This took some money, lot of ener-
gy and good judgment. The property
is worth twice the value that he paid
for it and it could not be bought for
many times what was given a few
months ago.
Charley Wylie, not far from Mr..
Blackwell, on the Day ranch, also took
the fever and commenced operations
early in the spring. He dug out the
springs until now he has ten inches
of water flowing and one of the finest
gardens that the county boasts of. The
ground is new but in spite of this fact
he has raised enough SO that he is in
! the produce business and is helping
supply this city with its needs. Mr.
! Wylie expects to further develop the
water supply and as it is increased Sc
the acreage Of cultivation will expand
| The work required more energy than
| capital and the results are showing for
| themselves.

be done with pumping. He owns a cou

TONO?AH BRIEFS.
Late Developments in That Prosperous
District.

Recently the five-stamp mill at Dou-

made a run on 100 tons of ore from the
Bounce mine at that place, which net

Davis and Thomas Pepper $1,000. The
ore value is gold carrying only a
small per cent of silver Another mill

receive the machinery, which will be

for the prOspectOr and the small mine
owner will be able to have his ore re-
duced at home and at a nominal cost.
At the Rescue mine inflow of water
continues at the rate of about AGO gal
Ions per hour. The shaft is 25o feet
deep and sinking progresses slowly on
account of the unexpected strike. A
water station and stump is being cut
out, which will form a reservoir for
the valued element. A power pump
will be installed for the purpose OF
raising whatever amount may be nee
! essary, but it is not thought that the
quantity will become a serious impe-
diment to future mining operations

Sheriff ran out of ammunition, but got
a fresh supply and horse and contin-
ued after the Indian, who was found
lying on the ground. but he got up
and started on. The Sheriff fired ag-
ain and the bullet hit the Indian in
the back of the head knocking him
down The Indian was then captured
and an examination showed that he
had been hit by three bullets.
The Lincoln County Searchlight says
the miners at Searchlight will contin-

scale is conceded by the company. The
employees on the railroad from the
mines to the Colorado river have join
ed in the strike and general shut
down has been the result. All of the
mines in the district are paying reSu-
lar dividends.

there are no springs or natural water
nows connected with the ground, and
therefore it was regarded as useless.
MI M1llard concluded that pump Op-
Grated by steam would do the work.
He fashioned one of the simplest
pumps that is known, a common lifting
pump He also rugged up steam boil
er and engine, both home made, and
hitched onto the pump, which is in
dug well of only few feet Deep This
simple arrangement keeps the small
farm flooded with water and Mr.. Mn.
lard states that he can food a piece of
land that size in a few hours pump,
ing. He finds it almost impossible
to drain the we'll and it is only a sur
face well. There is only one objection
that Mr.. Willard has, and that is that
he is limited to the acreage Of his
possessions.
These are few samples of what can
be done in this valley had the people
the energy to take advantage of what
is before them. The people with the
necessary means either send the cash
out of the State or else they hang onto
it so close. that they will let the law
yers divide the swag in a few years.
Pumping water for irrigation will
pay in this valley has been practically
demonstrated, and as cultivated land
is worth 500 an acre, it locks consider
ably like good investment, when the
land can be had for a few dollars an
acre. In speaking Of this value, Mr.
( Wiley stated that the new ground he
has placed under cultivation cannot
now be bought for 500 an acre nor
| double that price as it is bringing il
nearly that amount from its natural
produce.
About all that Ormsby county needs
is new blood, and it needs consider
able of it.

brought a new hack over the hills, as
they figure it is considerably cheaper

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Case for Violation of Liquor Laws
 Before the Judge To-day.

The committee appointed by the leg islature of 1901 to revise the statutes made such q poor job Of the liquor laws that their ambiguity Is so dense It is almost impossible to penetrate it. Trouble was experienced over them in the city court to-day. Daniel Davis was before Judge Burpee charged with being found In Timothy J. Brernan's 5 saloon yesterday forenoon. Brennan runs saloon and grocery at B Fuller street. When Sergeant Cahey and Officer Claffey got around to that place yesterday they found girl sitting at a window. When the sergeant rapped for adn1ittance the girl disappeared and the policemen heard considerable noise inside which told them something was going on. The sergeant went to art4 other door, but failed to get in, and when he reappeared at the window he saw q woman. He asked her if she in tended letting him in and she got up and disappeared. Then the sergeant got ill through the window and passed through some rooms and heard a great deal of noise. He knew some people were getting away that he wanted, but he nabbed Davis as he was diving through window. Michael Moriarty was also nabbed. Officer Claffey saw three or four fly through the windows and escape out Dublin street. Tn the opinion of the police Davis was under the influence of drink. Such was the testimony
 Prosecuting Agent Pierce interpreted the revised laws to state that the mini- mum fine was $10 and the maximum $200. Judge Burpee did not interpret 1t that way. That law, he said, re ferred to purchase of liquor being made after hours on or off the prem dses. It was not shown that the ac- cused had "purchased' any liquor on the premises in question. However. he being found under the influence of drink. the inference was that he had got it there. and the court imposed q fine of $5 and costs. Mir Pierce re minded the court that the minimum fine was $10.i This amount the court considered too high for this offense, so he made the fine $10 only.
 Michael Moriarty settled his case by paying $15 The cases against Bren- nan for selling and keeping open his premises and for having a place that has the reputation that drink can be had there Sundays, will be heard to- morrow.
 Joseph Hill was charged with breach of the peace. His mother. old and blind. testified that yesterday Joseph was under the influence of. drink. and he broke the crockery when he got home. Being asked how he lives, she said he lives upon his sisters; he sell dom works. He was given thirty days in jail.

 NEW HAVEN, Conn, May %. = With only a little more than a city block separating them from police headquarters burglars some time be- tween midnight and o'clock Sunday morning entered the big grocery store of S. S. Adams at the corner of State and Court streets and blew open the safe. They secured about $7O0 here and then went next door to the store of Knapp & Go. and broke open a small safe. The amount they secured here was quite small, probably $40 or $50.
 The robbery was most daring and was the work of experts The door to a large iron safe containing the pro ceeds of the days business was blown off, presumably by dynamite. Their entrance into the Knapp store was made in similar manner.
 The stores which were entered by the burglars are in the center of the business district of the city, and they are scarcely 100 yards away from po- lice Headquarters Patrolmen pass the vicinity frequently during the evening and after midnight try all the doors of the stores.
 The burglars left no clew on which the detectives can work. and at the present time the matter is mystery.
