NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Destrovsng Public Confidence.

1
thing more than another that will de-
stroy public confidence in a mining
camp, and directly hurt the present and
| future business interests of the camp,
it is to commit acts for the intent and
purpose of depriving persons of the bene.
| fits of investments already made. A
case in point is the Montana-Tonopah
Mining Company, which is possessed of
| one of the best and richest mines in this
district. This mine has the unique rec
ord Of being the only one in the place
that has paid dividend to the buyers
of its treasury stock. 1t now has thous-
ands of dollars on hand for some pur.
pose, but the management does not pro-
pose to let the smaller individual stock.
holders into the facts as to future plans
! and what disposal will be made of this
money. The ostensible object is to
"bear" the stock and force the individ.
ual holders to sell at a reduced price in
order to give the larger ones monopoly
at extremely low prices.
The development Of prospect into a
mine contains some very good chances
to study human nature. At first the
common people are all right and their
money is as good as anybody's, if they
will only use every nickel they can spare
| to buy stock. When the niue com.
mences to look like it was rich, aud
there is possibility that the ones con-
nected with the management may have
chance to sell for an enormous figure
or to develop it themselves, then the
common people who own stock are very
selfish if they do not yield to the wishes
of the management and turn this stock
over for less than it cost. After the
mine is proven and ready to pay divi-
dend or two they are positively brutal
and avaricious beyond measure if they
even want to know what is being done
with the property that their money
made possible. aud more SO if they do
not make Christmas presents to the
larger" and "prominent" ones of
every dollars worth of their holdings.
This but describes the course of events
in the history of far too many mines.
Fortunately Tonopah has been free from
such methods as a rule, and especially
in connection with the ore producing
mines Of the camp. But it has been left
for Secretary Dunlap of the Montana
Tonopah to be guilty of the stupidity
and monumental assininity of confess.
ing publicly that he is Withholding in.
formation at the behest of those he des-
ignates as the prominent" ones.
Truly, all who show their confidence
by putting up their money when it is
most needed should be fairly dealt with.
They should always be treated as part.
ners in the property and to have, to hold
and enjoy all that is theirs. Moreover,
they should have free access to all books
and records as well as the mine itself at
stated intervals.
The large capital of the world, from
the money centers of London and New
York to the Pacific Coast is made up of
multitudes of small investments from
people with small or moderate means.
When any act is done to "freeze out" or
to shake the confidence Of that class Of
money it is simply an act of hostility to
capital for investment. Away with such
methods

NEVADA POLITICAL TOPICS

Governor John Sparks.
Last week the Governor published q
letter declining to be a candidate for
United States Senator, from which the
following excerpt is taken:
"In respect to the election of United
States Senator in this State, it seems to
have become an established custom to
expect candidates to be not only
wealthy, but willing to expend money
lavishly to be considered eligible. This
practice would never be adopted by me.
might thereby jeopardize my chances
for success and prove disappointing to
my party and friends"
Taking it for granted that he is truth
full and sincere, in the opinion of this
paper, this utterance Of Mr.. Sparks ex-
actly fits him for the Office Of Senator.
Too long have the people been mis-
represented in the United States Senate
by men who have bought the Office, and
there is little or no doubt that Nevada
has had as much experience Of this
kind as any State in the Union. 1t is
time to elect men to the American Sem
ate who would never adopt this dis
graceful practice.
The United States Senate is in need
of men who do not buy their offices, be
they Republicans, Democrats, or what
ever you may call them.-Tonopah Sun.

RUSSELL EATON DISCHARGED.
Habeas Corpus Proceeding Before JUS
tice ClarL-Evidence Did Not
Sustain Charge.

Russell Eaton, the colored man who
was arrested near Wake Forest some
days ago and tried and bound over by
a magistrate of that place on q charge
of rape on his siXteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Josie, was released yesterday on
his own recogniZance by Chief Justice
Walter Clark before whom habeaS cor
pus proceedings were brought by Col.
j. G.. l.. Harris, attorney for the de-
PENDANT.
The evidence disclosed at the hear
ing tailed almost exactly with the in
tervieW with Eaton printed the day
after his arrest. The mother and
daughter corroborated his statement
that his only offense consisted in a
whipping which he gave the girl on
the 18th of May. The fact that Eaton
was not arrested until the 10th of Jul
~ further weakened the case of the
State.
1t will be remembered that at the
Wake Forest trial the girl testified to
the commission of the assault, but,
according to Eaton's statement, she
did so on account of threats which
were made to her and her mother af-
ter they had made complaint.
Yesterday the girl took a back track
and denied that there had been any
criminal intercourse with her father
or that he had attempted any criminal
assault, her explanation of her con-
ficting testimony being that she an
swered in the affirmative questions of
which she did not understand the
meaning.
The mother of the girl is a large
country negro, quite black, as is the
father, while the girl is a different
build from either of her parents. with
different features and a much lighter
skin-the difference being so marked
as to suggest a doubt of any blood re-
lationship to her reputed father.
The case seems to have been one
which was made serious by an over
jealous magistrate and by the Wake
Forest law students, who, as told in
the Eaton interview, appeared before
the magistrate and made a sort of
moot court of the trial.

Congressman E. w. Pou, who ar
rived yesterday afternoon to speak

talked interestingly concerning the

Mr.. Pou, who has been at his home

teen votes necessary to elect Mr..
Pou looks at prospects through con-
sentative eyes and, While realizing the
possibility of a Democratic landslide,
looks for a close contest in the fall.
He feels particularly certain that
New York will fall in the Democratic
column, taking the favorable attiIude
of the Sun, Herald, Stats Zeitung
and other large papers which were
formerly most bitter against Bryan
| to be significant of a wide spread
change of sentiment in that State.
| Speaking of his part in the APP
preaching campaign, Mr.. Pou stated
that he had not yet arranged any APP
pointments for the fall but that as
soon as he could find out who would
run against him for Congress in this
district, he would issue a challenge
for n joint canvass. 1t is not yet

The full force of the hail storm in
Scotland county has hardly been
realized. 1t was terrific and visitors
to tht section are appalled, at it's mag
nitude.
Rev T. N. Ivey, editor of the Raj
eigh Christian Advocate, after a visit
to tht section is quoted as saying that
the damage done exceeds belief, that
the hail actually beat off the bark from
red oak trees and made dents in
houses, things he saw with his own
eyes. In some cases the storm swept
away a great many crops bodily, and
in other cases left that standing en-
tirely dead and stalks withered Some

GREAT SCHOOL ENDS
A. & M. Summer School
Closed Session Yes
terday.

me great Summer School at the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
came to a close yesterday after a
most successful term of four weeks.
During the term there We're en-
rolled 977 persons, of whom 834 were
regularly engaged in the work of the
school and 143 were visitors.
1t was the greatest normal school
ever held in the State and the next to
the largest in the South ranking next
IN numbers to the Knoxville school.
which had about 1900 students en-
rolled and exceeding in numbers the
summer school at the University of
virginia, which is yet in session and at
which it is hoped to enroll 700 stu
dents before it concludes.
There was little done in the way
of work at the school yesterday, al
though several of the instructors gave
their regular lectures.
AT noon such of the students as
were on hand and the visitors held a
meeting in Pul!en Hall which was adj
dressed by the secretary and treasurer
of the school, Mr.. G. j. Parker, who
spoke of the work of the school, its
establishment on permanent basis
and the necessity for him to reluctantly
lay down his duties as secretary, the
work consuming more of his time than
he felt justified in giving and the
school having become "a permanent
factor in State educational affairs.
Other interesting parting addresses
were made to the company by Super
intendent e. p. Moses, of the Raleigh
schools; Professors C. w Burkett +.
l.. Stevens and ]. J. Blair. of the fac
ulty. and responses by Prof. j. j.
10 1,1,iI1C or of T Nit
of Allegheny. Prof. ID. H. Hill, who
has been in charge of the school,
spoke last
The note of all the speeches was
one of pride in the magnificent work
of the school and of prophecy of it's
continued advance in usefulness.
Many expressions of regret were
heard at the retirement of Mr.. Par
ker, as secretary. Mr.. Parker has
had almost entire charge of the adj
vertising feature of the school and of
the details of transportation, CORE
sOpndence, etc, and the result is an
eloquent testimonial of the thorough
way in which he has done his work.
With the growth of the school the
demands upon the time of the secre-
tary have become SO great that he
finds it impossible to continue in the
position.
1t is rumOred that, as a result OF
the great interest aroused in summer
school work, the next Legislature will
be urged to establish three regular
schools of normal instruction, at points
to be fixed by the Assembly.
Although most of the teachers in
attendance returned yesterday few
will go today, a number will remain
until next week to be in attendance
at the State Farmers Convention,
which convenes at the A. and M. Col
lege on next Monday.
