WHEELMEN MEETING.
The Race With Sacramento Nearing
Completion.


The Carson Wheelmen held a meet
ing last evening in the Office of H. B.
VanEtten, the Secretary. A telegram
from Mr.. Epson, manager of the Capt.
tai City Wheelmen of Sacramento,
was read, in which Mr.. Epson stated
that his team would race here on the
26th and that he had written for q
sanction enabling them to ride, which
he said he would undoubtedly receive.
II there is no hitch between now
and the 26th, the Carson team is going
to show the lads from California just
what Nevada hospitality, grit and fast
pedaling are. In the first place, it is
the intention Of the Carson Wheelmen
to send special train over to Reno
to greet the Sacramento contingent
and bring them to this city. Now, there
Is nothing bad about that, but that is
not ALL. They are going to try and in
duce the band to 60 along and dis
course sweet music on the arrival Of
the train from the California capital.
And again, after the visiting team rea-
ches Carson, it is going to be well
fed and then, well, Carson is going
to make a hard lead for the Pacific
coast championship.
Our boys fell that they have a
stronger team this year than any pre-
vious one, Let's hope they have, for if
the Sacramento boys are going down
to defeat, why not keep the champion
ship in the capital city?

RELOCATION OF MINING CLAIMS.
Something Of Interest to Prospector,
and Claim Owners,

Something Of Interest to Prospeetors
and Claim Owners.
The relocation Of mining claims by
the original claimant, or by others
not before interested is an important
consideration and matter which
should be thoroughly understood by
pJs spectors
II a claimant should discover that
his original fling is defective or that
that the law had not been complied
with before fling; or It he should de-
sire to change his original boundary
lines: or If the claim should be sub
ject to relocation by reason of his
failure to comply with the assessment
law. the original locator his assigns
may file an additional certificate. pro-
vided. however. that such relocation
does not interfere with or infringe up
on the rights Of others existing at the
time Of such relocation. New Lounary
lines should be fixed and new monu-
ments placed, or. II old monuments or
old boundaries are used such fact
should be stated in the new applica-
ton.
Work previously done by the claim
ant or others will not apply toward
annual assessment work, but the To-
cater must proceed to perform such
work as if it were an original fling.
An abandoned lode or vein may be
thus relocated and the location per-
fected by sinking a new discovery
shaft ten feet, or sinking an old shaft
ten feet deeper than it was at the
time of abandonment
In the relocation of mining claims
new location stake should be fixed
and the location certificate on an alb.
andoned claim, whether the claim was
abandoned by the relocator or others
should contain a statement that the
Whole or any part of the new location
is located as an abandoned claim

The dangers of travelling in Mexico
ly few days ago when telegraphic
reports had it that a mining man was
assassinated in that country. This
unfortunate occurrence arises usually
from over familiarity with either the
lower class Mexicans or their wives.
The sensible mining man can travel
through that country as readily as
through any part of the United States
particularly if, he has been fortified
with letters of introduction to parties
VINO make it a point of honor to Sc
cure mozos de cOnfianza for him. If
alone there is certain element of
chance, as there might be in our early
pioneer days in this country One of
the best things is to appear prepared

the present writer met on the banks
1f the Yaqui river, who asked if there
was any danger and stated that if
here was he had a revolver which he
lad never let them See A show of DO
tential force is often as good as force
itself.
At the present time it is stated that
here are over one million and a quar-
.er railway employees in this country,
making an average of over 600 men
per 100 miles of track Eight years
F! ago there were only AL to each 100
miles. An interesting comparison be
| tween the casualties that occur in rail
road life and in warfare is shown in
the Army and Navy Journal. In the

among the Spaniards and the Filipinos
This was only per cent of those or
railroads in the United States anG

comfortable and well paid to be 1
soldier. but it certainly seems safel
to join the army than the ranks o.

A Pretty Home Wedding at Wan

1t has never been the pleasure OF
Your scribe to have been at a more
beautiful home wedding than that
which occurred at the residence of the
brides father in the little village Of
iWananish, on the 20 of December.
The contracting parties were Miss Liz
izie Council, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. X. Council and Robert V. Troy,
who holds a position with the S. A. l..
at headquarters in Raleigh.
The bride was dressed in hand
some going-away gown of blue
Ibroadcloth. with orange blossoms and
maiden hair fern. The bridesmaids
were also beCOmingly dressed as oc-
lCasiOn required. The grOOmsmen were
dressed in the conventional style.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr.. J. J. Porter, OF the Methodist
ichurCh, according to the discipline of
THAT denomination.
The happy couple left on the noon
train for an extended trip. Some of
the guests present from a distance
were Mr.. A. L. Council. uncle Of the

and she would continue in the race for

1t has been officially annouced that
the Bell Telephone Company has alb
sorbed the system of the Inter-
State Telephone Company is in this
city. This is a confirmation of the
report which has been current for
some weeks in regard to the merger
Of the two companies.
If all we learn is true the Bell Tele-.
phone Company has not only absorbed
the Wilmington exchange of the Inter-
State. but has swallowed up the en-
tire business and that after the 1st
day of January there will be no such
company doing business as the Inter
State Telephone company. The In
ter-State has exchanges in Whining
ton, Raleigh, Durham, Winston and
i number of smaller towns throughout
the central and eastern part of North
Carolina.
The headquarters of the Interstate
is in Durham. II has been known for
a long time that there was a deal
under consideration and several re-
ports concerning this deal have been
sent from Durham recently.
There will probably be only one
town in North Carolina where the
Interstate will not make an absolute
surrender of their lines and that will
be in Durham. They will be con-
nected with the Bell COmpany's lines
there and will be required to use the
Bell Company's telephones
Linemen will probably be put to
work today connecting the Interstate
phones with the Bell COmpanv's lines.
Nine electricians of the Bell Tele-
phone Company reached here yester-
day and others are expected today.
1t is officially announced that there
charged by the Bell Company and
hat every effort will be made to give
the very best Of service.
The Bell Company started an ex-
change in this city in 1879 and the
Interstate in 1896. The former COM
pany has about 900 subscribers here
and the other company about 800.
About $50 of the latter company'S
subscribers also have the Bell phone.
1t is estimated that the change in
money value to the city will be about
$4,000. That is. the subscribers by
having to use only one phone will
save this much money yearly and at
the same time have the advantage of
reaching every one who has a tele-
phone and also be connected with the
long distance lines.
1t is generally admitted by every
one that it is far better to have only
one telephone system in a town. Com
petition is said to be the life Of trade.
but this is one business II is the death
Of. Several telephone companies can
n
eral hundred thousand inhabitants
and do a paying business.
The Bell Company's service here is
excellent and if in the future as good
service is maintained the people will
have no cause for complaint.
The price the Bell paid for the In
ter-State lines could not be learned.

SEABOARD'S POLICY.
Comments by Charlotte Chronicle on
Removal of Capt. Meares.

The Evening Chronicle, published
at Charlotte, n. c., in its issue Of the
18th. comments on the recent removal
by the S. A. l., as follows:
Those who remember the old days
of the Carolina Central railroad are
familiar with the way IN which it has
been delocalized, divorced from the
home ties of town arter town by
changes Of policy, until now it is con-
sidered very much in the light Of a
foreign corporation by the people
along it's line. For several years past
Charlotte has not looked upon its
branch Of the Seaboard as anything
more than a tramway to Monroe. Now
the management of the Seaboard has
begun cutting the links at Wilmington
and one Of the last of the old-timers,
Capt. Thos. D. Meares, has been
bounced. He had been the agent OF
the company at Wilmington for twen-
ty years or more, was an extremely
popular man and there does not seem
to have been any intimation from any
source that he had defaulted in any
of the duties of his position. Neither
he nor any Of his friends knew what
was coming until he got notice of his
discharge, and the notice itself was
rather a cold-blooded one. 1t was
written by Mr.. A. w. Towsley. from
Raleigh, on December 14th and said:
am advised that it has been de-
cided to make a change in the Will
mington agency. commencing with
January 1st, 1904. On that date Mr.
F. b. Williamson will be installed as
agent. 1 regret that any such step
has been found necessary and can only
say to you, if you still desire to re-
main in our service that I shall be
glad TO arrange to place you at Lum-
bertOn. This is about the best agency
we have and the one which feel will
be best for you to accept. ct pays

Regret Is expressed at the dis
charge of this official who had been
identified with the interests of the
road for SO many years past and he
is offered Il job at a guano warehouse
at $40 a month.
1T is to Mr.. Meares' credit as a
custodian of the Seaooards business
in the Wilmington office that all his
books and accounts were in such
shape as to permit of is resigning by
