BUTLER NYE COUNTY, NEVADA SATURDAY, MARCH 2 1903


A Boston publication, of recent
date, gives some figures relative to
the consumption Of copper in the re-
quirements of electricity. 1t is
claimed that the telephone interests
of the country consume about 60, 0OO,-
600 pounds of copper per annum and
the General Electric and Westing
house interests about the same
amount. Miscellaneous railroad en-
terprises, associated with electricity,
it is claimed, would probably bring
the total electrical consumption of
copper in the country up to 200, 600, =
600 pounds, or one third of the out
put. The larger part of the tele-
phone requirements this year were
contracted for some time ago at an
average of less than II cents per
pound. 1t is also asserted that the
telephone interests consume as much
copper as the Westinghouse and
General Electric combined

The elite Of the Poorhouse are wrathful
They have been eliminated from the cen

proval in protest to Superintendent Hart
for installation therein.
In the regular order of business al the
meeting of the Board Of Health yesterday
the census report Of the Poorhouse was
read; then came the kick. 1t said that the
report was not truthful. 1t was seven
short-Gue to the mistake Of the census
taker, who had omitted to procure the
names of the seven Poorhouse gravedig-
gers.
Gravedggers at the Poorhouse. although
inmates, are just shade higher than the
ordinary inmate. They have a house to
themselves at far corner Of the burial
lot-a spot yet to be discovered by the
city'S enumerators.
There they sleep. eat and enjoy the lin
tied pleasures which graveyards usually
afford. Although the greater part OF the
world had been Unmindful of their pres
ence and work. they are not unacqualnted
with its affairs and are alive and active
amid inert surroundings.
1t was decided to have the select seven
Incorporated in the report. If possible. and,
If not to warn census-takers not to let 1t
happen again.
