Douglas Island news., 1903-11-04

The Junior editor of the Dispatch is kind hearted fellow after all. When the Treadwell Company failed to pay their hands on the first of this month, he rushed in and explained to the trembling public that it was not be- cause of any financial difficulties, but only because the currency had not arrived. The Company will no doubt feel under obligations to MT. Russell who has plainly shown that he would relieve their shortage of cash by the pledging of his own personal credit were it really necessary, to keep things running.
 A "Muslin Shower" was given on Monday evening, Nov. I'd, by Miss Leola Warren, at her home on Second street, in honor of Miss Elizabeth Mc- Kama. A large number of useful and tasty presents were "showered" upon the bride to be. A luncheon was served after the arrival of the gentle men, who came later in the evening. Among the guests were Mesdames T. A. Tubbs and l.. A. Freestone; Misses Carpenter, St. Cyr, Mccormick, Powell, Minnie and Annie Museth, Penglase, McKanna, Egan, Helen and Mary Fox, Galloway; Messrs. Shorthill, Callerman, Woodruff, Reid, Fox, Willis, Leadbetter and Freestone.

Carl Got Lost.

Two years ago Carl Stoddard left
the village of Reno for Tonopah. He
returned to the city Friday. Carl
has lived in Reno for many, many
years and he knows every nook and
corner in the old town. but he got
lost last night trying to find his way
home. The vacant lots he used to
take short cuts across are now sol
idly built up and the faces he saw on
the street were nearly all new to
him. Mr.. Stoddard will spend a
week here and then leave on a bust

Minnie Claims Bonded.

Joseph Borge, of this valley, has
bonded to j. H. Rae, of Dayton, the
old Lottie group of claims in Garfield
district, Esmeralda county, for the
sum Of $500, for period of one
year, and it is expected that parties
from the east will take hold OF this
property shortly. Quite a bit OF
work has been done ON these claims
in years gone by, and some good ore
taken from them and shipped. The
lodges are not large but are rich in
places, ore going as high as 1000
ounces in silver having been taken
from pockets. Most of the ore will
run from 100 to 200 ounces in. silver,
So to SIC in gold, and eight to ten
per cent lead. The claims are stu
ated only six miles from the G. \ G.
road, and are reached by a good
wagon road up very easy grade.

GEORGE BARTLETT
PRAISES TONOPAn
Predicts Wonderful Future fer The b.
nanza Mining Camp.

Attorney George Bartlett, Of Eu-
reka, is one OF the visitors to this
city who can see splendid future IN
store for it, says the Carson News OF
the 2lst. Mr.. Bartlett's faith is the
kind that he is willing to back with
his money, and he desires to pur-
chase a home here.
Tonopah is going to accomplish
wonders for this city, according to
the attorney, and that carries us 10
u consideration of Tonopah's future
greatness.
Mr.. Bartlett has theory that is
new to the people OF this section at
least, and that is that the mother
vein in Tonopah has never yet been
tapped. The Mizpah and other ledg-
es, now famous, have an easterly and
westerly direction; but, bonanzas as
they are, Mr.. Bartlett believes that
they are in the nature of ''feeders'
for the true vein, which he thinks
will be found to run about north and
south.
For this reason he picks North
Star and Montana Tonopah to even
tualty become the greatest mines in
the camp, and cites substantial reas-
ons in support of his theory He also
seems of the opinion that these two
will likely become the first dividend
payers in the new camp. All OF this
does not detract one iOia from the
great values already in sight IN
other claims, or from their prospects
for even greater strikes in the future
and Mr.. Bartlett believes they wi!
be- all that i, expected of them; bul
he feels confident that Tonopah is tt
be a greater camp than many Of hel
citizens and most enthusiastic sup
porters now believe. The relation.
between Tonopah and Carson City
Mr.. Bartlett believes, will draw clos
er and closer, and the prosperity 0
the former will be shared III by thu
latter.
Should this theory prove correct
and the early miners on the Com
stock had a similar experience, Tono
pah will indeed rank as the first min
ing camp Of the world.
Mrs. Bartlett accompanied he
husband to this city and also join
with her husband in hoping to maxi
this city their home.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Southern Pacific to Run It's Tun-
nel in the Sierras.

A late dispatch from Omaha, Neb.,
says that orty-tive miles of new
track, including IL tunnel through
the crest of the Sierra Nevadas, is
among the improy to be made
on the Southern Pacific in the imne-
date future, according to insorma-
ton given out at Union Pacific head
quarters. The new track and tunnel
will cost between $4,000, 600 and
81, 900, 900 and will reduce the maxi
mum grade over the mountains to
s. feet, and also eliminate AZ miles OF
snow sheds, which are now necessary
on the old line. The work will re-
duce the high point on the line by
500 feet.
M distance will be saved by these
improvements; in fact, the line will
be trifle longer than the present
one, but the increased distance will
be more than made up by the de-
crease Of the grade and the elimina-
ton of the sheds, which have always
been a source OF much trouble.
Engineers of both the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific have gone
over the plans, and one sent out from
the east by e. H. Hartman has just
completed an inspection of them,
making favorable reports. Harri-
man has ordered the proper officials
to undertake the work.

That Much Dreaded object
Once More In Evidence.

once More IN Ev10SncGs
The Comstoe seems to have been
doomed to the unenviable distinction
Of being the honored host OF that
most dreaded Of all obiects--the
"spook." After having disappeared
from our midst about year ago,
leaving our town as, was hoped, for
ever, but just as the people Of the
Comstock had about commenced to
look upon the "spook" Of former Wis
its as all imagination On the victims
part, the dreaded monster appears
once more and frightens several OF
our citizens most to death.
That the "spook" is really in evil
IDENTIFY on the Comstock can be vouch-
ed for by several residents who had
the bad luck to meet it. Among 9th
ers to have an audience with Mr..
'spook" is Roy Barry, the livery
stable man. While returning from
the south end OF town Thursday night

why Indian Workers Are Few,

why Indian Workers Are Few.
The scarcity of Indians to do wash
ing and chop wood has been caused
by the Piute harvest dance at Wads-
worth, where Indians from all parts
of the state assembled. Dancing and
feasting and gambling games have
been in full blast day and night, and
bar near by sold "soft" drinks.
The squaws and the bucks are now
preparing to leave for the California
hop fields, so the famine in the Indian
labor market will not be speedily re.
lieved.

ANOTHER TuLLocH LETTER.
Replies to the Statements Made by
Merritt and Others.

Washington, June Seymour w.
Tulloch, formerly cashier of the Wash
ington city postoffice has written I'M
der date of June 3rd, a letter to POST
ma tar General Payne in response to
the replies received from Postmaster
Merritt and others to the charge of
mala Administration made by Mr.. Tul-
loon, against the management of the.
local office. A large part of the letter
is N Gefense of counter charges made
by Mr.. Merritt against Tu!loch.
Among other things he says tina; the
charga that "a false voucher had been
put in while Mr.. Tulloch was cashier.
was only an attempt to dscredit him.
ana even Mr.. Merritt admits that the
trs nsaction was directed by the post
ms ster, recognized by the assistant
pc stmaster, and the money retained
paid TO persons duly designated"
The facts however, he says, are that
substitutes named by the civil COM
mission serve the postofiice without any
pay except when they fill temporarily
the places of clerks. and receive their
pay. AS some clerks failed to pay their
substitutes the postmaster directed that
previous to the payment of the clerks
who haG been absent, the signed re-

ceipt in full of the substitute should
be put in the clerks pay envelope and
the amount 1t called for retained and
paid 10 the substitute by his division
superintendent. MIR. Tuloch declared
that while in office he did report ir-
regu!alities to his immediate superiors
and the inspectors. He denies the
charges that he was mercenary with
the late postmaster.
Mr. Tullochs letter then continues:
In closing 1 may state that 1t has
not been shown to the contrary In any
of the replies you have published, that
Irregular payments were made from
local funds. instead of the proper dis
bursting officer of the Department.; that
an attempt was made to cause all en-
ployes to bond under single blanket
bond with some favored company. tnat
the regulations of the department were
violated In forcing a letter box In
which prominent officials We're said to
be interested. upon the public, even TO
the unauthorized use OF the postnlast-
ers authority. and against his protest:
that payments were directed Tor afti-
cles not delivered; that persons We're
paid two or three salaries and per-
forming little or no service; that ply
stefan was Illegally appointed whose
position was a sinecure. l have been
told that a $500 operating table was
purchased for private use and charged
to the department as postal furniture;
that promotions were suggested upon
proyiso of division with high officials
in the department; that persons We're
appointed from whom no service WAS
required upon a complimentary ron,
that crrears in Porto Rico were not
fully recovered; that useless Junkets
were Frequent to Porto Rico and Cuba;
that persons paid for the military pos
tai service had their salaries continued
for months after ceasing all service,
and that salaries We're also continued
after service had ceased to take UP
irregular expenses.
AS 10 the reply of Former Assist
tant Postmaster General Heath, Mr.
Tulloch says:
"All that is necessary is to compare
nv specific charges with his general
denial"
He then reaftirms that his represen-
tations remains in all essential par
tic,,lars true and not disproVed, ana
closes with denial that there is any
office within the gift of the postoince
department that he would accept or
that IA ever authorized his friends TO
seek his retalnmen1.
