A Great Storm.

For the past week Tonopah has been
visited daily by rain showers with indi-
catioLs of thunder storms not far dis
tant, and on last Wednesday evening
these eliminated in violent electrical
storm accompanied by a h"avy down.
pour of rain greater in volume than any
experienced in Tonopah.

Main street which was converted into a
small river aud some of the storekeepers

flashes OF chain lightning with deafen-
ing crashes of thunder followed each
pther with great rapidity. The lightning
struck the house occupied by G f. Rey-
ndds on University Heights next TO the
Odaie house. stripping off part OF the
roof, and entering the house shattered
the mirrors, tore the paper off the wall OF
the bel room and burned some linoleum
on the floor. At the time, Miss Rey-

though .adly frightened, were not hurt
and fortunately the house was not set on

to leave the management OF the cam

will have charge OF the West, outside of
Indiana aud Illinois, and will be com.
posed of Geo. W. Turner, Senator New

Frank J. Cannon. This committee will
have its meeting places at Denver and

Looking to White
Pine.

The old Eureka Il Palisade Railroad
running between Palisade on the hne Of
the Southern Pacific Company to Eu-
reka, is TO be extended. A party OF
surveyors are now at work IN the field be-
tween Eureka and Ely, in White Pine
county. The work, it is understood, is
being done under the direction OF the
White Pine Copper Company. M. L.
Requa is the President of this company.
He is also the President of the Eureka &
Palisade Company. This leads to the
assumption that the copper company
has big body OF ore and that the rode
is to be extended to afford more econ
omical method of handling the ore. II
the event that the line is extended /
will result in opening up one of the rich
est mineral belts in Nevada.

Relics for l1u-
scum.

An Ann Arhor, Michigan, special to
the Saginaw Eveuing News says DIR.
j. c. Leonard, OF Nevada, the old time
friend of the University will add some
new lies and specimens to the many
he hes donated to tie Michigan univer-
sity musenm. There are several boxes
Oh the way which are expt cted to reach
the university any day.
Among their CONTENTS is one of the
most wonderful pre- historic relics ever
discovered in Nevada, il, indeed. not in
the world. The Cherry Creek Miner
claims it establishes beyond doubt tho
fact that man existed back as far as the
quartenary period, when he disputed
with the sa ber-toothed tiger, the hyena
and cave bear, the caves Of the world for
hone.
While running drift to crosscut a
ledge in the Robust mine, near Ely,
Nevada, gang OF miners put shot in
a cross ledge, and among the quartz
blown out was found stalagmite cast OF
the inside Of human skull The stalag
mite skull is proof OF the existence of
man in the days when the now extinct
carnivores wandered through the earth.
This is not the fret proof of mans
early existence for, in a cave at Mentoue.
near Nice, has recently been found the
almost perfect skeleton of an old man of
more than average height and about him
lay implements and bones OF extinct an
imals All of these we're perfectly pre-
served by stalagmite crust similar to
this embedded in the skull now in the
possession of the indefatigable doctor.
DIR. Leonard secured this specimen
through his friend, DR.. Richardson, OF
Ely. He is tireless in trying 20 secure
specimens for the university, and what is
remarkable is that, although not an
alumni, he never for moment loses
sight OF his love for his old state institu-
ton, the doctor having formerly resided
near Howell.
DR.. Leonard is at present in Boise and
is well known here as specialist in the
relic line.--Capital News.

All S. P. Trains
Through Reno TO
Burn Oil In-
stead of
Coal.

The Southern Pacific will soon be in
dependent OF coal strikes. The company
has just completed the changes necessary
to introduce oil as fuel 10 the shops at
Sacramento and no more coal will be
used there. 1t is also probable that an
extensive use of oil for fuel in the shops
at Sparks will also be inaugurated.
1t is the intention in time to burn oil
on every engine Of the system, and the
changes are being made gradually,
With this end in view Hartman pur-
chased large oil fields 10 Southern Cali
fornia last year to supply the liquid fuel
for his lines. Great storage tanks have
been built on all lines Of the system and
nearly S1.000,000 will be spent by Di-
rector Kruttschnitt for tank cars to dis
tribute oil from the California fields.
All new locomotives are ordered to be
oil-burners, and those that now use coal
are being gradually converted into oil
burners at the Sparks and Sacramento
shops. Over bali Of the engines on the
system now use oil as fuel. The sta
tistics of the operating department show
that of 1850 locomotives, $50 are oil
burners, and sixty.fve new ones just or
dered will also use liquid fuel, which as
well as being more economical is clean
and more satisfactory in every way.

Shot Two Men.

w. s. Elliot, a saloon keeper. at Gold.
field Sunday shot aud killed Jack Madi.
gan and a man named Hamilton
both gamblers, in fight. Madigan was
killed instantly and Hamilton is in a
serious condition. Elliot acted in SELF
defense and public sentiment is on his
side.
Madigan and Hamilton are gamblers
and both are reported to be CUR fighters
and men of bad reputation. For some
time past there has been illfeeling be-
tween Madigan aud Elliot and the for
mer frequently threatened to Kill, Elliot.
The later made no move until Madigan,
in company with Hamilton, attacked
him. A desperate fight ensued in which
Elliot wrenched Madigan's gun away
and shot him infiicting fatal wound
Hamilton then interferred, but was laid
out with bullet that pierced bis neck.
The shooting created intense excite.
ment, but universally the public sym
palhizes with Elliot, who clearly shot to
save himself.
Madigan was regarded as dangerous
man. He has been in camp for some
time and has figured in trouble before.
Hamilton is a Colorado miner. From
there he went to Salt Lake and then
went to Goldfeld.

TIT
JOYS OF THE OUTDOOR LIFE.
ven the City-Bred Man Longs for
Them in Summer DAYS.

'iIi' IN opl!iffSF Lays,
Kansas City Star: A cat turns
around before it lies down because its
jungle ancestors had to crush the grass
TO make a bed. and the instinct still
persists. Perhaps mankind takes to
the o IN summer for the same rea-
son. The grove were mans original
abode, as well as Gods first temples.
But while the longing to get back to
nature at this season is nearly univer-
sal, the instinct for enjoying the wild
erness is much less widely distributed.
While sorne persons are e~Xuperantly
happy at getting away from c~iviIiza-
ton, others who fancy that they want
to leave the town behind are made
perfectly miserable by the lack of their
accustomed conveniences. The splash
of the water on the boats sides or the
COMPENSATION for Re lack HS-s of ic e, OF OF
comfortable beds n rocking chairs.
AT the first sign Of a mosquito they
are overcome with annoyance and sun
burn to them Is an evil quite without
recOmpenSe.
Your true son of the woods, city
bred though he may be, counts all the
suffering that belongs to life out of
doors as not g%rievous, but joyous. The
dlsconfcrts are not to be compared in
his opinion to the delights of camping
and fishing and hunting. His enthusi-
Ism, indeed, is inexplicable to the man
who has not fallen under the same
spell.
There is no telling the lover of the
woods from the town devotee by his
appearance. Tine bookish-looking fell
low may be a mighty fisherman, while
the athlete may be miserable out OF
reach of a car line. Perhaps the diff
ference in temperament may be traced
back to childhood. A person may be
made also anything If he is caught
young enough. The psychologists have
a theory that all kinds Of instincts
manifest themselves for a time in the
growing child and then disappear I'M
less special attention is given to their
development.
This may account in part for the
diversity Of feeling toward nature that
exists so un~accountably among men
and women Of otherwise %congenial
tastes. Unless a person fished with a
bent pin as a child he isn't likely to
become enthusiastic over the sport as
a man. h woods may lure, but they
aren't likely to captivate unless the
d~evotee early learned their ways. The
taste for out of door life may be Gull
tivated to some degree, but unless it
was developed in youth it is not apt
to prove robust.
