DEATH OF GEORGE DUGAN.

Matt Hoey last Saturday received o
telegram from Tonopah conveying news
of the death of Mrs. Hoey's brother-in-
law, George Dugan. The sad message
came as a great shock, for it was not
known here that he was ill. Before
going to Tonopah, Mr.. Dugan lived for
twenty-five years at Hot Greek, Nye
County, where he was engaged in
ranching. He was well known in Eu-
reka and was a highly respected citizen
of this section of Nevada during his
long residence, and his many friends
heard of his sudden death with pro-
found sorrow. The Tonopah Miner of
Jan. 8 contains the following obituary:
George Dugan, an old resident of
Tonopah, died at 4:15 this morning of
pneumonia. Mr.. Dugan had been con-
fined to his room for some time with a
mild case of pneumonia and was out on
the street yesterday, apparently fully
recovered. Last night he was taken
with a chill, accompanied by severe
pains in the back and chest, and al
though he had the best of care, he sue
cumbed to the dread disease. The de-
ceased was born at Plattsburg, New
York, and was "a years of age. In the
early days of the camp he engaged in
the mercantile business on Main street,
but sold out last Spring, and bought a
ranch at Hot Creek. He leaves a wife
and three children and a large circle of
friends who mourn his death"
The funeral took place last Sunday
from the Catholic Church, and the body
was inferred in Tonopah.

PROSPEROUS TONOPAH CITIZENS
Some Base Rangers Reported Do
ing Well In the New Camp.

Ing wen Ill tne new camp.
The following former Eurekans are
written up in the New Years edition Of
the Tonopah Miner, from which the
SENTINEL takes the abstracts given
below:
Just a year ago DIR. Charles L. Ham
mond went to Tonopah to act as ply
stefan and surgeon for the Miners
Union, and he still serves in that capa'
city, in addition to being County Ply
stefan for Nye County
Thomas r. Robinson, mine and stock
broker, is one of the most popular
young men in Tonopah. He has valu'
able interests at Goldfeld, besides
others in White Pine County. He Is a
graduate of Santa Clara College, and
took an extra year in metallurgy and
mathematics. Tom is much interested
in athletics and is catcher for the local
baseball nine.
The photographs from which the
half-tones were made for the New
Years edition of the Miner were taken
by Z. w. Smith, and his work bespeaks
artistic and skillful workmanship. Mr..
Smith was one of the pioneers of Tono-
pah, having gone there from DeLamar.
He established the first photograph
gallery at that place. and has built up a
suopecsfu1 bnsinees
2 Leonard P. McGarry is an associate
with Harry B. Hudson in the Headlight
Livery Stables. They have a livery
stable, feed corral and lumber yard at
the new camp of Goldfield. At the
two places they have SO head of stock,
anumber of large freight wagons, and
can furnish anything from a one-horse
buggy to a 20-mule team on short
notice. They also carry a full supply
of hay, grain, cord wood and lumber.
Mr.. McGarry went to Tonopah in the
Spring Of 1901, and has steadily in
creased his business interests there. He
is now interested in a group of claims
at Goldteld from which good results
are expected.
Jerry Ahern was burned out at De
Lamar, Nevada, i'll 1901, and went to
Tonopah in August of that year. He
started a mercantile business in what
was then known as the Brown Tent"
with $3.50 capital, and he now owns a
$50, 900 stock, all paid for, together with
the building in which it is housed and
the lot ON which it stands. Mr.. Ahern
is able truthfully to say that he has the
largest mercantile business in the State
which has grown from practically
nothing to its present proportions in
less than three years. Mr.. Ahern has
a wife and boy living with him in
Tonopah, and two daughters who are
attending school at San Jose, Cal.

scribed as deafening. Mr.. Graham

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-The Post
says:
Last week the long period of depres-
sion IL the Comstock market showed
signs of recovery.
A notable strike in Ophir encouraged
investors and a general boom set in.
ophir stock rose from about $3.50 to So,
Mexican being a good second.
Yesterday prices began to fall and q
stampede set in this morning. Before
10 O'Clock Ophir was at So. 20; Mexican
fell from 1925 to $40 and aver lower.
Best g. Belcher lost heavily. Andes
dropped from 10 cents to less than 40.
Soit went all along the line.
All this was at the first session but
the landslide still continued.
Operators as a general thing give no
definite reason for the collapse beyond
an admission that the market had been
overrated and the boom of last week
was an artificial one.

Cabinet Decision Affecting 100000
Employees of the Government.

EhhphOTCo VI thC VOfCi h1hChts
At the meeting of the Presidents
Cabinet at Washington last week by a
unanimous decision 100. 900 depart
mental employees of the Government
had half an hour added to their days
work.
The question was raised by the APP.
preparation Committees of the Senate
and House on applications made to them
by the heads of several departments for
additional clerks. 1t was pointed out
by the Committees that the law dis
tinctly provided that employees of the
departments should work seven hours a
day, and that under the present system
the Government was getting only six
and a half hours of labor. The Com
mittees urged that, as a matter of econ
omy in the employment of additional
clerks in the departments. the present
employees ought to be required to work
full seven hours.
