The Frigid Wave.

Conditions this morning had improved
but slightly over those of yesterday.
The mercury stood degrees higher, it
being down to 90 at six o'clock. The
streets and sidewalks are still covered
with ice and considerable inconvenience
is experienced by those engaged in out
door occupations. Last night was cold,
ana apail & II numbers of the younger
generation who engaged in skating and
coasting, bet few people were on the
sheets. The electric lights were burn
ing. to the satisfaction of those who
were out.
There was no noticeable change IN
conditions on the river this morning.
The same vista met the eyein gazing north
or south. The Norfolk steamer arrived
up about an hour late. She encounter
ed ice in portions of the bay and all the
way up the river.
As stated above, the mercury stood at
90 at o. clock this morning, but it soon
began to climb, and at o'clock it had
reached 200. The wind had in the
meantime changed to the south. By 3
O'Clock the mercury had climbed to So,
and a partial thaw was in progress IN
nlaces on which the sun was shining.
The ice in the river varies from three to
five inches in thickness, and when it be-
gins TO run it will doub tless cause
damage.

CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

The Democratic convention proba-
Div did the best it could with the ma
terial before it in nominating Judge
Parker for president and Henry u.
Davis for vice president.
BY this nomination and the adop-
ton of the gold plank in the party
platform it is clear that the Demo-
cratic bosses are anxious to curry ia
vor with any class that will aid them
with their votes.
The nominations are indeed an act
ual reversal Of the principles which
actuated the nominations four and
eight years ago. 1t does not appear
however that Judge Parker has thai
strength and force of character
which are requisite to constitute {
strong opponent to President Roose
Welt.
The American nation today de
mands at its head a man Of stron|
purpose and decisive action and tn
personality and character of Pres
dent Roosevelt satisfy these require
ments and will insure his re-electio
to the White House.

THEY ARE HAPPY.

There is certainly much justitica-
ton in the happy expression worn
by Republicans of Nevada these days,
and their confidence in a complete
victory this fall is probably shared
by nine tenths Of the citizens of this
commonwealth.

building Of Nevada and the west in

hated by every corrupt corporation

Jas. M. Meighan and Joe Josephs
have this week purchased from Jack
Hennessy and ]. Campbell the group
of six claims at Gold Reef which they
have been developing under lease and
bond for the past two months. The
group is traversed by big porphyrit-
ic. bikes with iron stained quartz
striugsrs and all carrying gold val
ues on the surface. On one of these
bikes a shaft is being sunk and has
reached a depth of 60 feet on the foot
wall, the averages across the shaft IN
sinking being from $24 to 500 gold per
ton, with a seam IA inches wide as
saying $165 per ton. This has since
dipped into the hanging wall and a
c~rosscut is now being run to it and a
gasoline hoist will be installed to
expedite the sinking of the shaft.
Mr.. Meighan who developed the JEFF

RAILROAD DAY.

As the preparations for the cele-
bration of the opening OF the railroad
proceed it becomes more and more
evident that not only will the three
DAYS entertainments surpass any
thing hitherto attempted in Tonopah,
but will probably eclipse all previous
festivities in the state of Nevada.
The railroad company have issued a
large number of invitations and also
arranged for the round trip to Tono-
pah from Salt Lake, San Francisco
and other cities at a single fare rate.
The various committees in Tonopah
are working hard and compiling a
program which will provide an end
less entertainment for the whole
three days.
The chief event will of course be
the driving of the gold and silver
spike which everyone will want to
witness. There will be drilling con
tests, horse races, foot races, base.
ball games, and all day and every
day the famous Tonopah brass banc
will play selections from a stand t.
be specially constructed on Mail
I street. More music will be provided
by the Carson City State band, tn
> Goldfeld band and the drum and IF
corps of the Eagles. One entire da.
will be set aside for visitors to in
spect the principal mines and tn
: mill, and trips to outside district
will also be made. In the evenin
