Popular TOnopah Assemblyman
Named for Speaker.

A correspondent Of the Carson
Appeal, urges the name OF Hon.
George Cole of Tonopah, for speaker
of the assembly. OF course, the as
sembly being republican and George
a democrat, his election at the COM
ing session is impossible. Neverthe-
less he is worthy in every way of the
honor and the democratic minority
would do themselves proud by nam
ing him as their candidate for the
position.

Important Strike in Quartzite

One Of the most important strikes
yet made in the Diamondfield district
is that in the Quartzite mine. On
Wednesday last, while the men were
prosecuting, on the l00-foot level
and had proceeded about go feet
from the shaft, they encountered a
ledge 3 feet inches in width from
which three assays were obtained
that startled the natives, as follows:
$34731; $10l.64 and 272.07 in gold
and is per cent copper. The finding
of copper in the Quartzite, which is
the extreme northeast producer and
in the Florence which is in the south
end Of the entire Goldfield district,
proves the permanency of the dis
trict, covering an area five miles
wide.

IMMENSE STRIKE
in COWITCH RANGE
Ore of Phenomenal Values
Brought to TOnOpah.
The Discovery Of this Rich District
Was Made Last Summer by
Jack May and Others.

Ahotner flch ana sensational strike
has been made in the great State OF
Nevada. This time the scene Of the
excitement is in the southeastern end
Of the Kawich range OF mountains
which are about seventy-fve miles
east Of Tonopah.
The discovery OF this rich district
was made last summer by Jack May,
K. May and O. X. Reed who were
prospecting at the time for Malcolm
Mcdonald, Charles e. Morris, A.
Wadel and Thomas ]. Lynch.
The new district is at the south
eastern end Of the Cowitck Range,
just north Of Quartzite mount d
about thirty miles, south OF the old
camp Of Reveille.
Mr.. Mcdonald, Jack Nav and o.
X. Reed returned from the new dis.
trict which has been named Gold
reed on Wednesday evening and are
enthusiastic over the rich strike
made.
Mr.. Mcdonald brought in some
rich specimens and a chunk OF ore
twice as large as mans head which
is literally alive with gold. The
ledge from which the chunk was
taken is an outcrop standing eight
feet above the ground and a person
can stand ten feet away from the
ledge and see the gold, according to
Otis johnson who returned yester-
day from the new camp.
Mr.. Mcdonald and friends have
secured in all, nearly one hundred
claims. A townsite has been laid
out and lots will be sold for building
purposes. Assays have been made
that give values ranging from $50
to $500 ton.
Everything has been staked cover
ing an area four miles square and
over six hundred locations have been
made, butprospectors are still rushing
into the district from every direction.
One great drawback to the dis
trict is the scarcity of water. The
nearest place that it can be obtained
is from Antelope springs, fifteen
miles distant. These springs can
only furnish, however, 15O gallons
every twentyfour hours and this is
hardly sufficient for the purposes of
the men employed at the new camp.
1t looks therefore, as il there would
be considerable suffering for new ar
rivals from lack of water.
Mr.. Mcdonald and associa tes.
however, are sinking wells at the
present time and hope to be able to
develop a supply OF water.
Others who have secured good To-
cations in the rich camp are ]. Nc
seventeen claims, Otis c. |
Johnson and Fred Devory, seven
claims and John Labeta, represent
ing Trayers, Forzani and Osborn six
claims.
The bringing In Of the rich rock, |
which is now on exhibition in the
window CT the Nye County Bank,
created quite a sensation In Tonopah
and every available team in the
camp was soon pressed into service
and the stampede to the new dis
trict began in earnest.
We again warn prospectors not
to depend upon getting water at the
camp or even at Antelope springs.
A. Requa has been elected mining
recorder Of the district (Goldreed)
and is ready for business.

Here was the crucial moment and the
Justice fell down. He didn't know fit

and then played for time. So he took
the case under advisement and went
home to ask his wife what constitutes
fit, and also, incidentally, to take a
few lessons in the art of dressmaking.
This shows that no man should be q

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-06-01

The Rev. Edward E. Knapp, a well
known Baptist preacher of Brooklyn.
has resigned his pastorate and ex-
plains his action by saying that sem
sational methods are necessary in the
pulpit. He has no capacity as a SEN
sational preacher, and he believes an
other man would better fill the pulpit
he vacates.
We should be sorry to accept as true
the general statement made by DR..
Knapp. 1t is possible that sensational
methods in the pulpit might succeed
for time, as long as they retained
the element of novelty. 1t is also true
that certain preachers appeal to a
class Of people who want something
more highly colored than mere doc
trinal disquisitions in their sermons.
The great success that some sensa-
tional preachers have won at times bv
no means indicates the state of the
public mind with regard to the pulpit.
In spite of the isolated instances of
success, it is certain that the average
Christian wants his religious pabulum
free from the gingery qualities that the
sensational pulpiteer injects into it
Men do not go to church to be amused.
but rather for the purpose Of being
edited by such discourse as appeals to
the higher and more sacred aspira-
lions. Occasionally it is well for the
preacher to say and do things calcu-
lated to stir the moral depths of his
congregation, but no good can result
to the cause of religion from the con-
tinuous exploitation of pulpit fads.
Sensational preaching saves no
souls. 1t attracts an element to the
church door that might not otherwise
be reached, but it is not satisfying to
the man or woman whose religious as
pirations are based on deep feeling.
Religious solace does not lie in the
pulpit that is banged by a preacher
with a fad.

JUSTICE HoFF's PREDIcAMENr.

Wanted - Lessons in dressmaking
from competent teacher Address
Hoff.
Justice Hoff is up against it. He has
suit on his hands, a dress suit He
has also the sympathy of the entire
community, which may help some. A
day or SO ago two women appeared
before the Justice and told him a tale
of woe, the end of which is not vet.
One Of them had been engaged by the
other for the important business of
making an Easter gown, and unfor-
tunately it was not finished, nor is it
likely to be ready for the Fourth of
July, or SO alleges the plaintiff in the
case. She told the Justice that she
time it seemed to look worse instead
of better. The Justice wrinkled his
brow and thought deep thoughts. Then
the defendant had her turn, completely
denied everything stated by the fair
plaintiff, said it was only tried on four
times, and the Justice continued to
think. The defendant further said that
the plaintiff refused to allow her to
square herself as far as the fit of the
dress was concerned, and was real
mean and horrid' about it. The JUS
tice looked out of the window and con-
tinued to think.
The plaintiff again had her innings
and offered to put on the dress to
show the Justice how it fitted. She
would show him. Here the Justice
baked, moved about uneasily, thought
more rapidly and made quick calcu-
lation to the effect that he would not
know from seeing it whether the thing
