We hope the Sheriff will make
a crusade along this line, and be
no respector of persons. If he
does, he will make such repu-
tation that all good citizens will
be proud of him, and this paper
will give him full praise.

The travellers of the world say

they are right.
Here in Oakland the other day
they caught seven policemen
stealing; they had been at it for
months, and took everything
from hams to 'corsets. Over in
Frisco they have fifty of them up
for blackmail. You can Judge of
the city government when such
things exist and no one is pun
ished. You don't want to ask
any protection from the police,
for they are dangerous. What
this country needs is a few de-
termined men at the head of af-
fairs, like they they had in the
past, and the people would get
honest protection.

COPPER FLAT MINES
Many Needed Improvements Re-
Gently Made.
NOW LIGHTED By ELECTRICITY

Electrician G.. M. Peacock,
who has been engaged for some
little time in installing a dynamo
and wiring the buildings and un-
derground workings OF the mines
at Copper Flat, the property OF
the Nevada Con. Copper Co..
completed the work Sunday
An IL K. w. Westinghouse
generator, with "a capacity OF "
ampheres, was put in place and
all the buildings wired in thor
ough manner. Wires were also
laid in all the drifts and cross
cuts on the 2O0-foot level, and
when the current was turned on
Sunday no nook or corneron that
level large enough for Il Tom
nv Knocller' to hide in was left
Since the completion OF the
new shaft house last October, the
management has been gong
steadily ahead, adding one I'M
movement after another, until
today the mines are the bes'
equipped in the state, with pos
sibly the exception of the Com
stock.
Telephones are placed in al
the levels, and instant communl
cation between the different lev
els and between the Office, the
engineer and the timber Trainers
above can be had, thus saving
in the course of year IL surprlS
invly large amount OF time, thai
would otherwise be wasted by
the men having to go on top Oh
from one level to another whel
anything is wanted.
A. 56-horse- power Hendrle
Volthoff hoisting engine has late
ly been installed. The mining
timbers are now framed with /
power saw, and d wedge saw has
supplanted the hatchet. In fact
is being left undone tt
.ysecure the maximum of work
with the minimum of effort.
While every effort has becl
made to reduce the cost Of work
ing the mines to the lowest limit
the convenience and comfort Ol
the employees have not beel
overlooked. A change and dry
room has been fitted up, and the
men can step off the cage into ;
warm room, and fare not obliged
to go out into the cold with theil
wet clothes or and walk guar
ter of mile to the bunk house
before changing. A bath room
is also being fitted up for The
men, and the sleeping accommo
dations are all that could be de
sired.
Superintendent Gray has fllet
nearly every position in a mine
from car man up. and the eX
perience gained is worth a grea
deal to him now as superintend
=. ent. He realizes, as only prac
tical miner can, that shift
work in mine is best obtained
from contented miner, and tina
l contentment is seldom fount
= where unsatisfactory condition
prevail. The result is, the Neva
da Con. Copper Co. is gettins
more work and better work TO
its money than was ever don
there before.

PAST and PRESENT
Another Letter from Our CalifOr.
MIA Correspondent.


This State is one of the largest
and has more natural resources
than any other State in the I'm
ion; and can sustain Il greater
population and keep them boun-
tifnlly supplied with all the
necessaries of life, if properly
adjusted and managed. Thirty,
forty. fifty Years ago this was
the case. At that time you never
saw IA tramp or heard Of any
family or individual being in
want; all were prosperous and
all had money. People were
more Honest and true to one an
other; they lived simple, indus
triouS lives and were as one
great and good family; no locking
Of doors or barring of windows.
ThiGVery was not tolerated and
therefore did not exist. People
practiced the true principles OF
the greatest good TO the great
est number; equal rights for all
aud special privileges to none.
Many of the writer's of today
claim that the people and condi-
tious are better than in the past;
but | know it is not SO in this
State. For here today you find
among the farmers, fruit raisers,
aud people that supply the food
from nature, conditions of fail
ure, and unless the burdens of
taxation and excessive freight
charges and robbery from the
middle man, and high interest
are reduced, they will be bank
rupt. Money is here, but i'll the
the banks, and controlled by a
few shylocks.
In the cities you find thousands
looking for work and suffering
for the common necessities OF
life; and when you get a job 1t
takes all you get to live the
real estate, grocers, dry goods,
meat, light and transportation
syndicates hold you up and de-
mand all you have. 1t costs you
more to get good meal in San
Francisco or Oakland today than
it did twenty-five years ago; in
fact, you cannot live as cheaply
now as you could then, and your
wages are not so high, unless
you are a skilled mechanic.
The present generation is not
as honorable as the past. | state
this fact because | knew the
parents and | know the children
the latter are a disgrace to their
sires. All those of the present
generation think of is to have
and to hold. They care fol
nothing only money, and the
manner of obtaining it makes nc
difference. They glory III vice
and gambling of every descrip-
ton, and practice it. | have seen
them come out of church and
while in the shadow of the house
of worship, gamble. Trickcry
and depravity seem to be per
meate their whole system, and
most of them are in together,
and help one another to rob the
consumer. To illustrate, went
out to get some honey in comb
there are the figures of dealers,
all on the same street 30, 20, l.
cents. | got the article from the
pure food sanitarium for 10 cents
[ also got from the same firm,
fruits, nuts, fruits, etc, for from
! ) to 10 cents per pound cheaper.

CHARGE AGAINST
PETERS DISMISSED

by Justice of 1.-THE Peace r. Y.
Van Volkenberg, sitting as a
committing magistrate, last Tues
day. The reason given by the
court was that the States case
rested chiefly upon Indian testi-
mony, which should be discount
ed when given against white
person.
Mr.. Peters was arrested last
Friday on the charge of assault
with intent to kill, the complaint
having been sworn out by Sheriff
Baird.
TO give the Sheriff time to get
a witness who had left forlWhite
River, the hearing was set for
Monday, and the defendant was
released on $1,000 bail, with j.
b. Simpson and Walter Rynear-
son as sureties.
The hearing consumed the
whole of Monday, and the JUS
tice withheld his decision till =
o CLOCK Tuesday, at which time
the charge was dismissed and
the bondSmen released.
The condition Of the injured
Indian was such that he could
not testify. He is still alive, but
his recovery is not expected.
The substance of the testimony
of Indian One-Eyed Frank was
that the defendant gave him Il
bottle OF whisky TO bring a squaW
to defendant $ cabin. When
Frank and squaw Jennie return
ed in the evening, Charlie was IN
| the cabin with defendant. They
all had IL drink, and when Char
lie got noisy the defendant put
him out. He tried to get back in
and kicked on the door. % The de-
fendant thereupon opened the
door, hit Charlie on the head
with a hammer, and as he still
insisted on coming back in, de-
fendant felled him with an AK.
The defendant testified that
the Indians came into his cabin
when he was asleep and stole Slo
and a bottle of whisky from him,
Their noise awoke him and he
ordered them out. Jennie and
Frank left, but Charlie showed
fight, called him names and re-
peatedly threatened to kill him:
and in self-defense, he used the
ak.
Mr.. and Mrs. Philips and
daughter, who live near by, tes-
titled that they were awakened
by the disturbance, and heard an
Indian (recognized the broken
language) say, "I'll kill you,
- - Mr.. Philips testified
to hearing defendant order the
Indian out several times.
1t was evident that all the par
ties were drunk; in fact, the
squaw Jennie was the only one
who claimed to be sober.
Granting that all the defend
dant's testimony is true, it is
questionable whether he would
have used such extraordinary
means as splitting an Indian S
head open with an ak to drive
the drunk from his place, il he
had not himself been under the
influence of liquor, even if the
Indian did threaten to kill him
but exhibited no weapon of any
kind. Defendant testified, He
either hit me or pushed me over
on the bed; he afterwards clinch
ed me.
This episode should be les
son to the Indians to leave liquor
alone, and to white persons to
have as little as possible to do
with the Redskins.

New Year came in joyous and
clear, amid a joyous and crowded
multitude of celcbraters, There
must have been forty thousand
people on Market street, and ev-
eryone WAS ringing a bell or
blowing horn, but all were
good natured and Jolly. | never
saw SO many people on the street
before. If you were not with
the crowd you bad TO take the
middle of the street.
New Years, among the Amer
leans, is not observed as it used
to be, at least not SO universally;
but among the foreigners, es-
specially Jews and Germans, it
is q great day and is observed
implicitly
1904 Was very prosperous
year for the State, but | believe
1903 will not be; for real estate
is bound 10 be reduced in price;
it is now cheaper than six months
ago, and will be cheaper. 1t is
too high; for the interest on the
capital invested is excessive and
one cannot stand the rents
charged for habitations. Build
ings and mprovements in the
cities have been costly and eX-
tensive. In San Francisco there
has been millions spent in 1904.
The Fair estate has built u fine
hotel on Mob Hill, costing mil
lions; Jim Flood, on the old
Baldwin site, has built a u story
building, costing over million.
The Merchants Exchange build
ing, fourteen stories high, and
the st. Francis Hotel, eleven
stories high (both finished in
1000, are among the costliest
and best in San Francisco. But
the good people of Nevada can
remember that most of the finest
and costliest buildings in Frisco
have been built by money obtain
tanned from the mines of Nevada;
and if you were to ask one of
the fortunate heirs to these rich
estates for help to develop a
good prospect in Nevada, they
would laugh you down derisive-
ly.

GETTING PERSONAL.


The Tony Enterprise and Glen Flora
Star are having crossfre on the coun-
ty judgeship campaign. The Star, is
inclined to discuss the facts touching
the issues of the campaign, while the
Enterprise attempts to switch to Ma
loney's record In this the Tony paper
is unfortunate, as the following retort
from the Star would Indicate
can attempt is made to justify the
transcribers' ''grab" on the ground
That we, as member of the county
board, voted for it's payment. He says
''the county board of which Maloney
was member made the payments on
the contracts; and Maloney voted for
every payment. :" To man Of aver
age mental acuteness the fact that
"Maloney veted for every payment
wouldn't prove that the payments were
right. Maloney might have been mis-
taken or might have willfully voted
for graft AS matter of fact the
statement made regarding our voting
is absolutely and unqualified false.
"Now, Bro. r., we would advise you
to so curb your poetic imagination as
to keep within hailing distance Of the
truth
The News fails to see what Maloney's
or any other mans record has to do
with the county iudgeship. To at
tempt to make such connection is to
beg the question, and when the chief
McGill organ OF the county does this
it amounts to confession that there
is no defense to the charges made by
the Star.
Unless The News mistakes the tenn
per of the voters of Gates county, they
want economy in the administration Of
county business. The legal advisor of
the county board prior to January,
1905, is now a candidate for county
Judge. Those voters who approve of
the graft that has prevailed in the past
will vote for him. But we apprehend
that the vast majority of the people Of
county will consider will the fact that
the chances Of lifessare likely to throw
their estates into the county court at
any time-and will prefer to take no
chances in the matter.
To illustrate: it cost s12s:OO for plac-
ing Ladysmith bonds when McGill was
city attorney, while his successor float
ed subsequent bonds as a partaof his
official business and without charge.
When McGill foated the bonds it cost
$780, 90 for printing the blanks, while
Andersen found the buyers perfectly
willing 20 furnish the blanks free of
charge,
All this touches the issues of the
campaign. It is interesting to the vot-
ers. It suggests to them that if they
want their estates probated economic
ally, they would do we'll to vote with
care. Perhaps the Tony Enterprise
would like to discuss these items of ex-
travagance. Perhaps not. We think
not.
