Conditions at GOldfield.

From Goldfield comes a report that
unless you have plenty of money and
are willing to spend it, stay away. The
place is overorowded with men of small
means looking for work. One CORE.
spondent tritely puts it thus: "No work
living high and walking hard" This il
only the condition of other camps re.
peated. When some one strikes mine
that really contains values, it is adver.
tised over the country next day as an e.
Dorado. Town lots are laid out, a saloon
opens, and it is town. Men leave good
positions and in some cases go into debt
and sell what ittlei they have to raise
money to carry them to the spot that
will surely make them rich. They en-.
dure hardships untold, toll from morn.
ing till night. and finally are forced to
return to their homes as best they can.
True, some get rich in these rushes, but
out every hundred fail. II
these men would put the same energy
into the occupations they leave, riches
would come surer if little slower.

The Eight Hour Law.

The case of Peter Kair, who was ar
rested and imprisoned for violating the
Eight Hour Law. and who was released
on writ from the Supreme Court. was
heard before that Court at Carson City
on April 1S. The case was argued at
length by the attorneys representing
the case, and was taken under consider
alton. In the meantime Kair was re.
leased pending the decision of the court.
Attorney Charts. who is acting for Kair
in the matter. is presenting the case on
new grounds-that the law did not af-
feet where life and limb are not af.
fected, such as the mill work that was
being performed by the defendant.
From all indications it now looks like
the Eight Hour Law is about to run the
entire length of the courts.-Carson

RENO CLERKS TURN. ROBBERS.
Gray, Reid & Wright Company Vic
Tins of Dishonest Employees.

Reno, Nevada, April 16.-This city is
much excited over the wholesale robbery
of the large department store of the
Gray. Reid s. Wright Company. The
thieves were trusted employees of the
firm, and up to the time of their detec-
ton they bore excellent regulations.
The robberies were committed in nearly
all the various departments and during
aperiod of nearly four months. The pro-
prietors have known of the disappear
ance of goods for some time, but be.
lieved it the work of shop-lifters.
Yesterday Walter Woods, in charge of
Barton Fishers candy department in
the store. was caught in the act of SO.
creting some Of the stolen goods. and
the general investigation made resulted
in the arrest of Woods, E. c. Dalzell,
Z. w. Smith, J. P. Rains, Clarence
Woods and Harvey Blackwell. Other
arrests will probably follow, some of
those implicated being in other towns at
present.
w. Woods is the ringleader. Smith
disposed of the stolen goods in this and
other cities. Dalzell and Blackwell
placed goods where they could be
conveniently stolen by others. Their
plan was to have the janitor pass
through the store carrying large ice
cream freezer. The goods were thrown
in this and taken to the cellar. From
there they were carried to the homes of
the accused. Nearly $500 worth of
goods has already been recovered.

Studying Irrigation in Nevada.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is at present cooperating
with the State of Nevada in carrying on
set of experiments that have for their
object better understanding of the
best methods of irrigation available in
this State. The field of these expert
ments will be in the valley of the Hum,
boldt river, near Lovelock in the Carson
Valley, near Gardnerville /; and in the

work will be under the charge of Prof.
G.. H. True of the United States Elk peri
ment Station, who is acting as the irri-
cation agent in Nevada for Elwood
Mead of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The best methods of
irrigation to bring about desired results,
the economy in the use of water and the
effect of much or little water as shown
in the crops produced. will be objects OF
study and experiment.

LINDERMAN CONFESSES.
He and the Three Other Convicted
Murderers Killed Pat Welch.

Carson City, Nevada, April 16.-Thi
afternoon confession was made at the
State Prison by Albert Linderman. whc
is under sentence of death, that will re-
suit in the hanging of four men. Some
months ago man by the name oi
Patrick Welch was thrown from q
freight train near Winnemucca by -four
men. AS he was pushed from the mov-
ing train, after being robbed, four shots
were fired into his body. On his death.
bed he recognized the men who had
been arrested for the crime. A trial
followed and all four were convicted.
The men are Albert Linderman of
Stockton, California, German, Roberts
and Sevner. The four were sentenced
to be hanged in December, but upon an
application for q new trial the day of
execution was postponed. The men up
cence.
Linderman's confession duplicates
the four. 1t lays the blame for the
crime in itself upon German and Sew.
ner and states that Roberts did not do
any of the shooting but was of the
party. The confession reveals system
of wholesale robbery OH the lines of the
Southern Pacific. as it tells of half q
dozen crimes committed by the men.
The confession clears up the diamond
robbery case at Lovelocks and tells of
the disposal of the jewels. Linderman
also states that German has record of
a dozen men and that he was regarded
as the leader of the gang that was rob-
bing trainmen and other people along
the main line.
The confession is made to take all
blame possible from Roberts. who is
but boy and not considered very
bright. The effect of the confession
will have no action upon the Supreme
Court, which now has the question of a
new trial before it. The other men
who are in the condemned cell deny all
knowledge of the confession and have
not offered any explanation.

WESTERN PACIFIC'S PURPOSE.
Signs Point to Sell Ont to the
Southern Pacific Company.


The Sacramento Bee publishes the fol-
lowing from its San Francisco special
correspondent under dates of April 10
and 16:
A gentleman very closely connected
with some of the new railroad projects
in Northern California, speaking of the
latest developments in the Western
Pacific, said: GAS the inside history Of
the Western Pacific becomes public, the
correctness of the reports published
from time to time in the Bee becomes
more evident. Every one knows now
that the Western Pacific was simply a
private enterprise, organized for the
purpose Of surveying lines across the
mountains and Nevada, to sell to some
transcontinental road.
"When Mr.. Bartnett went East he
did not know what he would do with
the surveys. He went to find a pur-
chaser. He offered his goods to Gould
and Vanderbilt, but finally closed deal
with the Southern Pacific, and that was
why all the maps and plats were sent to
Engineer Boggs for his approval. He,
it will be remembered, was the man
who looked over the Southern Pacific
for its present owners at the time Mrs.
Stanford sold her stock, and it was on
his recommendation that the Southern
Pacific has secured certain rights that
the Western Pacific had.
"The new company that Mr.. Bart
nett has formed are simply ames, alias
Southern Pacific Yard is in sympathy
with the Southern Pacific, as he said
once in an interview with the Bee, and
only wants his holdings in Butte and
Plumas opened up.
"All interests are now reconciled and
the Southern Pacific will soon build by
way Of the Beckwith Pass. and that
will become the main passenger line of
the road"
1t is generally conceded that Yard is
master Of the situation in so far as his
road and Bartnett's is concerned, in the
Sacramento Valley, and Bartnett has
well outlined route through Beckwith
Pass eastward to Salt Lake.
Hartman long ago began to regard
the pass as the only solution for over.
coming the heavy grades of the Sierras
other than constructing an expensive
tunnel through the mountains. Coils
P. Huntington admitted his mistake in
not going out Of California by way of
the Beckwith Pass. Hartman realized
the need Of getting control of a section
Of the pass. and there is growing sus-
picion that he determined to accomplish
this by dickering with the Bartnett
company.
1t would be comparatively easy task
for the Hartman syndicate to build
north from the main line Of the Central
Pacific in Nevada, through the Beck
with Pass. and thence in southwest
erly direction to Stirling or even to
Oroville, by way of which the
main line of the company would
be reached and traffic extended
to this city. While Attorney Bartnett
and H. H. Yard decline to make known
their future plans. the opinion prevails
among local fnanciers that they are
dealing with the officials of the South.
ern Pacific Company. with view of
turning over their rights of way and
surveys to that corporation.

Electric power hoist and pump plants
are to be installed at Aurora, Esmeralda
County. In the early history of that
once famous mining camp the ore was
followed down to the water level, where
work was suspended on account Of the
cost of unwatering the mines being too
expensive with steam pumping plants.

The Globe-Democrat of st. Louis has

shown in various ways 165 valuable
minerals produced by the State. A slab
of compressed timber, which formed a
bracing timber in the Comstock mines,
5000 feet below the surface, will be
shown. The tremendous pressure of
the earth compressed the stick SO that
it now resembles ignum vitae and
