A Telegram was received from

the welcome information.that there
will be no labor trouble in Ton

A few weeks ago the Miners
Union is said to have passed cer-
tain resolutions to the effect that
no more contract work would be
tolerated in the camp, and it was
feared that this would result in a
complete shut down as about all
the mining there is done on the
contract system.
The miners under the contract
method received from So to IS per
day, while the union scale is only
81. Only the very best miners
were employed however, and 1t was
said at the time that twas a bunch
of the other classes which packed
the meeting and secured the pack
age of the resolution. Last night
the final word was to go forth, and
had the union not receeded from
it's position and had ordered 4
strike it probably would have been
a long drawn out one, the CON-
panies being in such Il position
that a tie-up would mean no par
t%icular damage to the property.

TERMS,
Nevada's Bright
Outlook.

The following from the Keno
journal is of the right sort:
Many people, and especially
those who inhabit the farther east
ern portions of the Union. believe
that Nevada is a State without a
hopeful future. They have long
been accustomed to hearing this
country spoken of as a sage brush
desert; a land made and kept bar
rem by nature; a land of no prom
Use. They know that our State
abounds in silver, but since this
metal has been robbed of its her
itage in a way of speaking, they
conclude that we have no other re-
sources.
This is a most fallacious and
harmful idea and one which should
be removed from the minds of our
well-meaning, but misinformed
Eastern friends rs quickly Is pos
sible.
There is no other n of the
thinning States which has SO
many or such varied resources as
Nevada. And there is not another
State in tho Union whose resources
are as little known outside of her
own borders as Nevada. Some of
the very finest ranches, orchards,
stock farms and gardens in all the
West are to be seen right here in
our own vicinity. The much
Wanted lands of California can
show no better. We are an inland
empire. as capable of self-mainte-
nance as any State in the Union.
But the people of Nevada are not
selfish. They extend the hand of
invitation and welcome to all wor-
thy people who desire to come aud
cast their lot with US.
Nevada is a State with a small
population. There are but a few
towns of Importance within our
borders, but these aud the pop
ulation of the State generally are
enjoying the finest Measure of
prosperity, and this prosperity has
come, not because of the political
policies of the present administra-
ton of governmental affairs pol
icies which are detrimental IN the
highest degree to the best interests
of our State-but in spite of them.
Our prosperity has come 10 us be-
cause our people are energetic, in
dustrious and wide-awake. Be-
cause they have made the best
possible uses of the goods the gods
provide, they HAYS builded up here
within our borders, a solid struct-
IRE OF sound commercial activity
which the changing currents OF
political policies and corrupt adj
ministrations can never destroy
nor sweep away.

Length of Life,

Even a chronic pessimist ought to
find something to be cheerful about
in the recent census bulletin on the
mortality statistics Of the United
States for the decade ending In 1900.
says Leslie's Weekly. The bulletin
shows that the advances made In med
ical science and sanitation and in
preventive and restrictive measures
enforced by the health authorities
have had q r.king feet upon the COM
parative death rate for the cities Of
this country where a system of regis
tration is in force.
In 1890 the death rate in 271 cities
of 5000 or more population was 2l
per 1000: in 1900 the rate was 1876
in S61 cities Of 5000 population and
upward-a reduction of "a FER 1000.
Another statement Of special interest
and significance Just now Is that the
deaths reported as due to consumption,
including general tuberculosis. de-
creased from 245.9 per 100000 of popu-
lation in 1890 to 1905 in 190O-a very
large reduction. due. the census au-
thorities believe, to the better knowl-
edge Of the disease ana the measures
adopted for its prevention.
