Something Doing.

j. A. Harvey, President Of the Larry
O'Gaff mining company, called at the
Record Office last Friday and exhibited
sack of ore taken from one of their
claims near the Mountain House, that
was fiecked with gold. The Larry
OGaff was disCON cred by Barney Nc
Gallery last summer, vino did suffici
ent work on the property to demon
strate its values. He interested Mr..
Harvey and few other Sacramento
gentlemen. who organized a company
and delegated this gentleman to go
east and exploit the mine. He returned
last week with abundant capital for
development, and on the first of next
month a force of men will be put to
work If satisfactory arrangements can
be made. the ore of the present will
be milled at the POGO TEMPO mill,
otherwise a 1o-stamp mill will be err
ected on the property at once. The
ledge at depth Of ten or fifteen feet
is well defined and his widened out
from a stringer at the grass roots to
two feet. 1t is a valuable property and

SURVEYORS in WiNNEMUCCA.
Are They Working on Route for the
Gould Road.

A party of seven surveyors arrived
This afternoon from San Francisco.
Two came yesterday to make the adj
vance arrangements for the main par
ty. The surveyors have complete
outfit and have established headQuart-
ers here on scale which indicates
tia, they intend tc remain some time
The surveyors came here unherald-
ed and the utmost secrecy surrounds
their movements They also decline to
discuss their mission. but this is no
bar to guessing There is pretty good
reason 10 believe that this party is
one of those which are in the field sur
veying the route for the Gould or
Western Pacific line from Salt Lake
to San Francisco. Possibly they are to
lay out line for the road passing
| through or near here.
One thing certain, the surveyors are
not here for amusement and everyone
has a right to speculate. another Ger
tainty is that the building of the Gould
road through Winnemucca or near
here would be the best thing for the
town that ever happened-Standard

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Terrible Wreck Of a Gravel Train a.

WADSWORTH, New, May 2S.-One
of the most CHASTITY wrecks On this di-
vision for many years occurred tonight
at 5:45, as a string of grave cars on
work train employed in ballasting
the new cutoff east of this place was
returning home Tor the night
Al a pCirt cheu u t,ree mile east Of
this place a broken nange on the first
car caused the derailment of four cars.
The ballast cars were of steel and
were piled up on both sides of the
and OF the ten laborers on the first car
at the time of the disaster, four were
killed instantly. The dead: Frank
Boyd, shoveler; Frank Bennett. shO-
veler; shoveler known as No II, and
Herman Turner, brakeman
The dead were mangled in a horri-
BILE manner, from the position of the
wreck, and that more were not killed
seems miracle.
ne news u the disaster WAS lllllll6-
diately brought to this place and a
wrecking train was soon on the scene
DR.. S. E. Morse, the railroad physici
an, accompanied the wrecker, but the
poor unfortunates found in the wreck
age were past all medical aid. Some
time was consumed in extracting them
and a most CHASTITY spectacle they
presented.
OF the dead men little was known in
this vicinity. The brakeman, Turner
was on the Sacramento division fo1
about a month. He is said to have re
latives in Missouri and to have come
to this place from Auburn, Cal. He
was about 4years of age. The wreck

The Laundry Prices Down Again

Some time after the coal strike of last
summer and autumn had caused decided
increase in the price of coal the steam
laundries of this city by general agreement
announced an advance in the rates charged
by them for washing and ironing the COM
munitys linen. The reasonabeness of this
move was generally admitted. but when
the Presidents coal commission had brought
about a resumption of work and a conse-
Quent fall in the coal rates feeling spread
that the laundries should in turn come
down from their high scale. The Star so
expressed itself in February In calling at
tention to a communication by a reader of
the paper. Since then the local laundry
men have been occasionally in conference
regarding the patter of prices, and 1t Is
gratifying to note that they are today an
nouncing that beginning on Monday the
old price list will be restored. The con-
sumner of coal. who is also a wearer OF
collars and cuffs, is no longer compelled to
bear practically alone the burden of the
great strike. Chicago papers please no

Treat All Alike.

There has been rather too much courtesy
and kindness to suit the community at
large on the part of the police and court
officials OF the District toward the young
man now under arrest charged with the
theft of public funds. There should be no
discrimination In the treatment of those ac-
cused of crime. save as between the sexes.
The man who steals by the tens OF thou
sands is entitled to no more consideration
than he who steals loaf of bread. Nor
should the fact that he has moved in a
higher social circle operate to secure for
him exceptional favors. He should be COM
PEELED to ride to and from the Jail In the
vehicle provided by the courts for that pur-
pose. not in dashing automobile. There
IL no caste In crime. and every action on
the part of the officers of the law which
seems to recognize caste lines is an offense
to the spirit OF justice.
The most serious objection to this course
OF procedure is not that it unduly eases the
experience of this particular person. but
that II affords a demoralizing example to
the other young men of the city. 1t dulls
their apprehension of the penalties attend
ant upon criminal conduct. They are treated
TO the spectacle of a man accused of a
grave oHense riding to and fro in an auto
mobile which may have been purchased
with money pilfered from the public funds.
Furthermore the effect upon the ignorant
members of the community is decidedly
bad. They are made to feel that there is
one kind Of law for the lowly and another
and more lenlent kind for the socially ex-
allied This embitters them against the
methods of government. Such practices

Nature is always playing scurvy tricks on
humanity. She even tries at times to tease
scientists who have supposedly most nearly
succeeded in solving her mysteries and
learning her ways. A few years ago she
withheld the rains in this country to such
an alarming extent that men began to de-
bate as to means OF forcing her to yield
moisture from the skies So a new profess
sion came into being, that of the ''rainmak-
ers," and they went to work with much
nose OF exploding powder In an effort to
rend the stubborn skies and to produce
showers at will. Nature refused to sue
cumb to this attack, although now and
then, apparently just to tempt her puny
pummelers to redouble their efforts, she
permitted few drops to fall as If In
answer to- the explosive summons Then
she shut up tight and distributed rains with
such evident disregard for the artificial
methods employed that the professional
rainmakers were both discouraged and dis
credited. The recent prolonged drought in
upper New York and New England, how
ever, revived the ambitions Of the rainmak-
ers, and party of them set out for the

Coal Barons, Wake Up!

From the New York Herald
Nobody In this community desires to in

then. do the coal magnates, who stand
behind the official heads of their corpora

answering fair and plain questions about
the conduct of a business in which the pub
lie has such vital interest? Why do they
shun the light unless it be that they are

their private business is simply gro
