WOODEN Pipe
Water Mains of Redwood
Wrapped With Wire

+. The water mains and lsaterals being
installed by Las Vegas Land and Water
Company are of redwood wrapped with
tarred wire. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that this piping is superior to the reai-
latioIf iron pipe, else surely the COM
pany would not utilize it in making its
up-to-date improvements. Although it
has not been considered an absolute
success in other places where it has
been tried, it may prove different IN Las
Vegas. Probably it's chief advarItage is
the enormous amount of pressure twill
stand.
The d9tches have been completed and
the pipe is BOW being laid. NJ n rea-
sonable rate of progress the system
should be completed in about thirty
days.
People who have been carrying water
for months will probably welcome the
advent of a complete water systers, re-
gaHlless of the quality OF pipe employed.
A pleasing feature is the fact that the
mains are large enough. The piping is
eight inches in diameter, which ought
to be sufficient for city with even
greater prospects than Las Vegas. o

NEvADA'S OLD MINES
Present Day Miners Are Not
the Argonauts

Engineer Pratt returned yesterday
from the southern country, where he
had to do some work in tle vicinity OF
Belleville, says the Carson City News.
He describes the once prosperous town
as the very picture OF desolation.
p fwenty-six years ago he was one 81
the owners OF II telegraph line from
Virginia City to Belleville, Candelaria,
via Bodie and Aurora At that time
two 2O-stamp mills were running night
and day. Two hundred and forty mules
were used hauling ore, salt and wood,
and everything was hustle and business.
Now, the population of the town con-
sists of a section man and his wife.
Many of the buildings have been 6rn
down and hauled away, and what few
are lett are fast crumbling from decay
and the action ~ the elements. O.
The big mills that produced millions
still stand as silent witnesses to what
has been, and nearly half million tons
of tailings, from which the most OF the
values have been extracted, are being
blown about by the winds. 1t is stated
that over three millions OF dollars in
silver remain in these tailings, ;thd
doubtless, some day, good percentage
of these values will be removed but
the water works which once supplied
the mills and the town have long since
been destroyed, and water for domesoc
purposes is now being hauled on the
railroad distance of abokt fourteen
miles.
All this Is the result Of the famous
lawsuit between the HolmeS and Belle
n1ines at Candelaria, which supplied the
ore for these mills. The company that
prevailed in the suit had exhausted all
its resources in court and attorney fees
and the property in the meantime had
been neglected to such an extent that
the owners had neither the pseans hor
courage to resdine. In the meantime,
too, silver had deprecated SO much in
valtie that the margin in profits was 300
narrow to dfer very much encourage
mert,
Such is tla history Of mining camps
in Nevada. Belleville and Candelaria
are wiped off the map rs though struck
by cyaone, ami the millions of bull
lion they produced are lost to sigAt and
forgotten. Tonopah and Goldfield, Only
about sixty miles distant, spring up in
a night, like Johah's goufd, anti the
world is led to believe that the first
and orly mineral wealth in tho state
has lust been discdSered.

CLARK's GREAT MINE

William T.. Curtis, writing OF the
famous United Verde copper property
in Arizona, says
Senator William J., Clark, OF Mon
tana. was offered $40 100000 in cash by
an English syndicate not long ago for
the United Verde copper mine, and he
toid me he refused it because he did not
know What TO do with the money! 1t
is said TO be difficult To invest $2o,OOO,-
900. although few people ever attempted
such a task. Senator Clark has had
considerable experience that way-more
than most OF us. There are other rea-
SOM y. nv he would rather have the
mine than the money
Some idea of the value OF the prop
erty nav be gained from She tact that
since operations began In 1884 more
than ninety million dollars worth OF ore
has been taken out of it, and Ozark
engineers assert that ssO,000,OO0 worth
has already been blocked OUT ready 10

cilties will permit. OF this, block OF
$4,000, 900 is supporting the machinery
which must be removed first. ~ not

NO SURVEY

In response TO the petition sent to the
general land office of the Interior De-
partment by miners and prospectots in
Nevada's southwestern mining districts,
in which they ask for survey By Sec
ton lines of the mineral lands of south
ern NeVaia, the department has replied
that the petition cahnot be granted at
this time, oihasmuch as the law fbrbids
the expenditure of the Nevada appr04

new BANK BUILDING
First State Bank Will Erect
Fine Structure

Posted in the lobby of the First State
Bank ioa blue print of the front eleva-
tions of a handsome new building soon
to be erected on the same corner now
occupied by the bank. \ glance at the
print convinces the observer that it will
be an attractive and imposing structure.
The new building will be constructed Of
hollow concrete blocks. Ii will be one
story in height, with large arched en-
frances supported by heavy columns. 1t
will front 80 feet on Freelont street and
a feet on FirA, with the elevations and
entrances eon both streets identical in
appearance. Hle style of afchitectxreais
that which produces a massive and dig
nified effect, similar, on smaller scale,
to that OF the famous Bank of England.
Cashi< Park stateS that figures ase
now being obtained and that wodk will
commence soon. The present building
and the postoffice will be moved ont OF
the way.
The new building will contain large
fire and hnrglar proof vault and up-to-
date fixtures and furniture in keeping
with the magnificence of the structure
will be installed. Besides the main
office, which VIII be larger than the en-
tire space now used by the bank, the
building will contain private offices, di-
rector's room, lnatories and all the
conveniences of modern business
building.
Cashier Park feels confident that work
on the new hotel building will also be
commenced soon, but is not prepared at
ment to 0Iat effect.

VIGILANTES NEEDED
Attempts at Arson Becoming
Too Numerous

y vigilance committee composed oi
determined men with definite object
in view would be useful in Las Vegas
Just now. Incendarv fires have occurred
from time to time. hut the most recent
attempt at wholesale arson seems to
call for serious and concerted action
on the part of citizens.
Early Tuesday morning the torch was
applied to half dozen or more struc-
lures on Main street. extending over a
distance OF two blocks. \ lumber yard
at the corner of Bridgef str 'ns was the
starting point, and from inerc on to
the Won Tobel yard the fivnd halted
every few PAGES To apply match. The
only structures ON which the flames got
a giip were those with canvas tops-the
Times office, a large restaurant building
ana store room in the rear ~ the
Clark Forwarding Company's store.
The roof OF the Times office was
/ totally Destroyed, H. was that OF
the Clark structure. while the res
taurant escaped with the loss OF II few
yards of canvas Two lumber yards
! aQd one or two frame structures were
.jgnited, but no damage was done owing
/ to prompt discovery or the inability of
the flames to get hold. The Times fire
was the first discovered, and as people
/ became aroused along the line the other
blazes we're poted at intervals. The last
match was applied to tent next door
to Won Tobel's lumber yard while the
latter was 3,ut a few yards distant
looking at the blazes down the street.
Turning, he noticed small blaze on the
side of the tent and succeeded III put
ting il oat before it had burned a hole
the size of a maIGs hand, Indicating
! th the miscreant was not far away,
and was either drunk or possessed OF
unlimited nerve to take such chances
with the whole neighborhood aroused.
Everyone in the vicinity who has been
able to get hold OF shotgun or Other
weapon now has it ready ior use, and
anyone caught prowling around at niHh'
is likely to meet with an interesting re
ce 1tion.
