LOST GOODS.

| Here is some new old law as ap
piled in New York. The story appears
as news item and has attracted con
siderable attention. There is so much
stuff left on the sidewalks by mer
chants, and left there unguarded, that
to them, the opinion of this New York
judge may mean something.
From the merchants viewpoint at
first flash it would seem unjust, but
clearer consideration would incline one
to the thought that it was most just
What right has merchant more
than any other to monopolize the side
walk with his goodsl
The walks, like the streets, belong
to all of the people and to one just
as much as to another.
If the right to monopolize a foot is
given, the right to take Is inches is
inferred, and others take is inches and
two feet.
If the law were that unguarded
property on the sidewalk was lost
property, in all probability the side
walks would be reserved for the pur-
poses for which they were intended.
But here is the item:
Magistrate Whitman in the Jefferson
Market court yesterday declared that
property lying unguarded on the pub
lie street, whether it be in front of ex-
press Offices or a store, was lost prop
erty. This decision was made when
the magistrate discharged Herman
Rosenberg, who was arraigned before
him on a charge of having stolen a
package containing a woman's S hand
bag, from the sidewalk in front of one
Of the branch offices of the Adams Ex-
press company at Great Jones street.
Rosenberg was arrested on Saturday
on the complaint of John w. Hamann,
the manager of the express office. The
package which Rosenberg was charged
with stealing was the only one on the
sidewalk, and the defense which he
offered was that he picked it up and
attempted to carry it away ON the pre-
sumption the package was lost prop
erty, and under the law he was en-
titled to it unless some one made a
claim on it.
The representative of the express
company said that that wasn't law,
and contended the express company
had right to leave their goods in
front of their offices.
"Under the laws of the state of New
York you have absolutely no right, "
said Magistrate Whitman. "The le-
gal presumption is that property lying
unguarded on the public street is lost
property, and the person finding it or
picking il up is not under the law
guilty of theft"
"Do you mean to say we haven t a
right to leave our property in front of
our officesi'' said the astOnished Ham.

"You can leave it there" said the
magistrate, "but you do sat your
own risk. -

OPPORTUNITY IN
MINING
Greater at the Pres
ent Than in the
Golden Days
of 40.

One often hears young men lament
that they did not live 10 the golden days
OF 40; that the present has no opportun-
tiles for young men commensurate with
those halcyon days of the Argonau.s.
Such is not the case, says the Reno
Gazette. The day of Opportunity is to-
day, If it ever existed in the country.
There is better chance to get on 10 the
world now than ever before. True, the
ways of money making change, but the
opportunities still remain and are con.
stantly widening into new chrnnels
Fortunes arc made by young men in
mines today as they were in the golden
days. Tonopah and Goldfeld are ex-
amples Of where dozens of young mer
have become wealthy, literally, in day.
And there are lots OF opportunities vet
to be had in the new Ell Dorado. When
one seeks fortune in the mines he must
go with the understanding that he courts
tickle goddess who may and likely will
pass him by for some one else. Su h
was what most Of the Argonauts OF 40
encountered. and such today are the
uncertainties Of mining. Nevertheless
the young man who equips himself for
that calling and pursues it with judge
ment and discretion is not likely to
fail.

"The BoisterOuS
Beam"

From the columns of the Calaveras
Chronicle we learn that the historic town
Of Mozelumne Hill was the scene of q
terrific explosion one day last week at
the home of Judge Bruce. 1t seems
that Mrs Bruce hal prepared pan of
beans for baking, and placed them in
the oven in the morning and they baked
away all Day, the lady having forgotten
them. Some time after fire had bee .
started next morning, an explosion was
heard in the kitchen. An investigation
showed that the beans had exploded,
blowing open the oven doors. 1t is sup
posed the explosion was by gas being
generated from the beans, and the doors
OF the oven held it in confinement until
the strain became too great This is
the first time we ever heard OF beans ex-
ploding in this way.

to See This
District Come to
the Front.

The NEvADAN has always labored con-
sistently for the advancement of the dis
trict, and is glad to know that its efforts
in that direction may not have been
without results, and also that they have
been duly appreciated. 1t is the ambi-
tion of the management of the NEvADAN
to see Battle Mountain come to the front
as great mining district, it will in the
future, as in the past, do all in its power
TO further that result. Some people may
think that newspaper has but little to
do with the opening of mines aud the
development of district. but 10 this they
are mistaken. 1t is almost impossible to
secure money for the Development OF
property, without the liberal use of
printers ink, and there is no advertising
medium equal to that of the newspaper.
1t has been the press which has
brought about much of the development
that is being done throughout the State
at the present time. The NEvADAN will
continue in a conservative way to ad
verlise the mineral resources OF this
district and in doing 20 it will apprecia
all information furnished ii, as we'll as
liberal patronaga, without which a
newspaper cannot long be of service to
the community in which it is published.
The NEviDAN thanks it's patrons for
past favors, and hopes that it will con
tinue to merit the condolences and busi-
ness of the public in the future.

Seen at the Fair.

Those who have returned ON the st.
Louis Exposition says that the repro
duction Of the Boer war is one of the
greatest attractions at the Exposition.
There are three battles daily in which
over a thousand men and horses are en-
gagged. The horses are as well trained
as the men. There are 800 Beers and
400 English in the combat and when the
battle opens with the firing OF tie skir-
mish lines, the forces come to closer
quarters and presently fifteen batteries
of Gatlings are in full play. There are
fierce cavalry charges and soon half the
mon are down, scores of riderless horses
are charging about the field which COW
ers several acres. The cavalry makes
several charges while the Gatling guns
NOW them down, and the audience goes
nearly crazy with excitement. The men
and horses fall in heaps and some of the
horses are SO well trained that they
stumble along as il badly wounded and
finally go down with such perfect sem
blance of distress that it is hard to real
ize that it is not real war.
The climax is reached when the Brit
ish persue General COME, to capture
him. He rides his horse to the edge OF
a precipice thirty feet high. The animal
rears as if to shrink from the leap and
then takes a plunge into the stream OF
water flowing at the foot of the rocks.
The horse and rider disappear for some
moments and when they rise out OF the
water and swim to the opposite bank
and escape the cheers are simply deaf
euing.

the exhibit in realizing that the men
