10 BOND NYE COUNTY.
Bill introduced Asking for $4,000
for County Buildings In T0n0pah.


The town of Tonopah. which will be
the capital of Nye County on and after
the LIST of May, 1906, has introduced a
bill through Senator Oddie asking the
Legislature to authorize a bond issue in
the sum of $50. 900. exclusive of inter-
est, to build a court house, Jail and
other county buildings at Tonopah.
The bonds are to be each in the sum of
$1,000, the interest ON same not to ex-
coed 6 per cent, payable annually. and
to run for no longer period than 10
years.
To meet this expense the Commits
sioners of Nye County are to levy a
special tax on all property, including
proceeds of mines, which shall be paid
into the Court House Bond Fund.
Five of the bonds shall be fully paid
and retired on the first Monday of
January, 1907. and each year thereafter
FIVE of the bonds are to be paid and can
celed, until all of the bonds and inter.
est thereon are fully paid.
The bill was referred to the Nye
County delegation.

The Anti Relationship Bill.

A story was current last week that
Judge Curler would resign if the bill
prohibiting attorneys from practicing
before Judges to whom they are re-
lated, was passed. When asked by the
Carson Appeal regarding the matter,
Judge Curler said: II cannot say that
I will resign il the proposed Act be-
comes a law, but if I thought that the
people of this community felt that I
was not fair on the bench in all cases,
regardless of the relationship of the at
torneys practicing before me I certainly
would resign. have always tried to
be absolutely honest and unbiased in
all cases arising in my court and l re-
greet very much if the people of this
district feel that I have been partial.
The Act in question is either an attack
on myself or my father, and / hardly
feel that it is approved by the majority
of attorneys of the Washoe County bar.
1 will probably have my say in the
matter later"

A MINING LAWS.

The recent decision rendered by
Judge Hawley of the United States
Circuit Court at Carson under which
the law of Nevada requiring the record
ing of mining notices is not sound law
and unnecessary, as a miner or others
holding mining property can hold the
claim by mere matter of work, inten-
tion of development. which is the best
evidence of the fact that the owner or
locator intends to comply with the laws
Of the United States. prompts the Car
son Appeal to make the following sug-
gestion:
with the present Legislature i'll
operation it seems that about the best
thing that can be done would be to re-
peal all the existing State laws and
adopt the United States mining laws as
q whole and as a working basis. With
the one set of laws to rule by there
would be little chance for misunder.
standing and little chance for law suits
over the matter. The original intent
of the United States laws in regard to
mining is to render location and opera
ton of mines as easy as possible. A
bill to repeal all the State laws and
adopt the United States law for all
mines and mining locations would
about I'LL the programme and prevent
any further misunderstanding.

PARCELS POSTS r o

The recommendation of the Post
master General that free rural delivery
carriers be allowed to deliver packages
of merchandise not weighing more than
five pounds along their routes at a cost
Of 8 cents a pound, serves to call atten-
ton to the great difference between
postal facilities for parcels abroad and
those allowed by the Postoffice Depart
ment in the United States.
AS long ago as 1898 the aggregate
number of ordinary inland parcels
forwarded by the German p~ostofice
was 70, 245, 700 and registered parcels
numbered 5,410,S0 with a declared
value of a thousand million dollars.
For ten days preceding Christmas
$1,000 parcels a day were delivered in
Berlin. The German postofice carries
an 11-pound parcel any distance up to
46 miles for 8 cents, and beyond that
distance anywhere in the empire for IL
cents. This business yielded a revenue
of $12, 500. 900 in 1893.
A 10-cent stamp insures the collec-
ton and delivery of a three-pound par
eel from any house in the British Isles
to any other house within the same
limits. In the United States no pack.
age weighing over four pounds is rams.
mitted, and the charge for merchandise
is IS cents a pound. Compare that
with the German system by which
an ~11.pound parcel is carried be-
tween any two points in the empire for
10 cents. The postal arrangement
abroad is the occasion of railway COM
petition that is valuable to the public.
The Great Eastern Railway in Eng
land will carry, within 120 miles of
London, a package weighing less than
90 pounds for s cents, with 2 cents for
each additional five pounds up to go,
the charge for 60 pounds being n
shilling. 1t is q highly important sub
ject for the consideration of the people
of this country and their representa-
tives in Congress. The rural delivery
proposition will be a start in the right
direction.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

reports from the wreck of the Twen-
tieth Century Limited on the Lake
Shore at Mento at eco last night,
and more than a score injured. The
notwithstanding train, travelling at 10
miles an hour, struck an open switch
in front of the Mentor station and
plunged with frightful momentum
into the freight house, several hun
dred feet distant, and was transform
ed into a mass of wreckage, which
caught fire.
Few people in the forward comhi-
nation car escaped death or injury.
The rescuers fought the flames to re-
cover the dead and succor the injured.
The latter were taken to Cleveland by
special train and removed to hospi-
tails
Railway officials say the switch
was misplaced by a miscreant with
the deliberate intention OF wrecking
the Limited.

Chief Executive Returns From Sound
Cities and Portland and Talks Of
New Improvements Undertaken by
Our Neighbors---Urges Street Paw
inf in Certain Parts of Our City

Mayor Daggett has returned from
his visit to the coast cities a firm be-
lever in the value of the bitulithic
pavement for certain sections of Spo-
kane, especially North Monroe, East
Sprague and Division streets. This
is the result of inquiries instituted
while the mayor was in Seattle, Ia
coma and Portland. In the course
Of a conversation with a reporter for
The Press Mr.. Daggett spoke of his
trip as follows:
Il spent several days in the Sound
cities, and, while 1 went there more
particularly for few days rest, I
did look somewhat into their munich
pal affairs.
'In Tacoma I find they are doing
q great deal of asphalt paving in
their best residence districts. In fact,
they have blocked out complete dis
trict of quite large area and as fast
as one street is paved the council
orders another one. The mayor told
me they had threshed out the matter
quite generally with the citizens be-
fore beginning this class of improve
ments and had agreed upon this plan.
I'm Seattle they are also paving
many of the residence streets with
asphalt. The business district of Sc
attic is paved with brick, owing, l
presume. to the heavy grades. In
Portland l find they are not using
asphalt, but Warren's bitoulithic
pavement, which is really system of
macadam, bound with a bituminous
mixture, which thoroughly binds the
layers, and also gives it the wearing
