Would Give Them Control Of Work
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. al
though there now appears to be Sigh,
prospect of canal legislation this ses-
sion, there is an earnest effort being
made to secure in this session of con-
gress some arrangement in the way
of legislation that will abolish the
isthmian canal commission AMI so ar
range it that a board of engineers will
have direct supervision of the con-
struction of the canal.
While President Roosevelt is known
to strongly favor some kind of legisla-
ton that will cause a more satisfac-
tory progress in the work. it is also
we'll known that any attempt at the
adjustment Of the commission will
meet with strenuous opposition.

MILLIONS IN A DIVORCE COURT.
Mrs. Chamberlain Granted An Abso j..
lutte Decree.

lutte Decree.

absolute divorce from ner husband, D.
S. Chamberlain, the millionaire pro-
prietary medicine manufacture. BY
the terms of the decree Mrs. Chamber
lain comes into possession of the

erty is $350,000. Mr.. Chamberlain re-
tf9ns all his interests in the Chamber
lain Medicine company his personal
property and the real estate which was
jointly owned by him and his wife.
His fortune is estimated at 100000.
In court, Mrs. Chamberlain declared
that her husband had been guilty of
cruel and inhuman treatment. She
asserted that he mad at various times
accused her Of being insane, and that
he has made repeated efforts to get her
into a madhouse. These efforts, Mrs.
Chamberlain said, had caused her great
mental anguish.
Chamberlain did not appear in
court. He was sitting at his Office
quietly at work when the decree was
granted. Mrs. Chamberlain appeared
anxious to air the entire family trouble
but she was urged by her attorneys to
tell only enough to get the divorce.
S. M. Bracket, a painter at Har-
ward and a nephew of Mrs Chamber
lain, was with his aunt when she went
to the courthouse. In 1892, when Miss
Roberts, the belle of Jefferson, Iowa,
welded Chamberlain, she insisted
upon Bracket making his home with
them, and the wish was readily grant
ed. Mr.. Bracket substantiated Mrs
Chamberlain in her charges of cruel
and inhuman treatment.
Both Chamberlain and his wife
come from old English families which
represented great wealth and influence
in their day.

FROM THE BULLFROG DISTRICT,

From the Beatty. Bullfrog Miner.
A reliable stone mason informs the
Miner that there is a great quarry Of
good building stone n mile northeast
Of Beatty, which should be used in
erecting permanent buildings.
Latest advices from Las Vegas is that
there is such a congestion of freight
there that there are not half enough
teams on the road to accommodate the
traffic. The haul is over a good road
and the rate is from 8 to 4 cents per
pound for the 1874 miles between Las
Vegas, Beatty and adjacent camps.
The average haul is about q ton to the
animal.
There is every reason why Nye
County should be divided. II is 100
miles to Tonopah the county seat.
which makes it inaccessible for the
people in the southern end of the county.
All the county officers live in the North
end and practically ignore the southern
portion. The county is now out of
debt and a division should be made be.
fore an expensive court house is erected
and heavy debt created. Judge Ray
suggests that the name Of the new

! aoIda,Id Bank FaiIure.

The G0tnrtfu BuHN utt"Fc.
The fai ure of a Goldfeld banking in
stitution is unfortunate. but need not
cause any alarm. AS in ever rapidly
growing town, banks have been more
or less plentiful in the southern country.
and as in other things, only the
fittest shall survive. The bank which
closed its doors Monday happened
to be one of the unfit. Men on the in
side of financial affairs have known, it
is said for some time that the institu-
ton was unsound, and had predicted
the final collapse. 1t is unfortunate
that the information was not more
generally circulated, in order that he
luckless depositors might have had
some chance to secure themselves.
1t is not amiss to remark here that
the Gazette has constantly contended
that the Banking Laws of Nevada are
not sufficiently restrictive. They do
not provide for the inspection and pub
licity which are essential in order that
banks be properly conducted. The man
who places his money in the hands Of
any institution should be ~safeguarded
in every possible manner, for otherwise
he is entirely helpless. IL was hoped
that the last Legislature would enact a
Banking Law hat would furnish these
necessary precautions, but in the press
of much dubious legislation this import
ant work was lost sight of. 1t is a
matter for congratulation that under
the loose system Of official espionage
which exists in this State so few fail
ures lave occurred.-Reno Gazette.

Millions of tons If rock and earth
caved in at noon Monday in Senator
C.ark's United Verde copper mine at
Jerome, Ariz., the ground dropping
from the surface to the 700-foot level.
Cracking timber gave the alarm and 800
miners fed for their lives and escaped
uninjured.
For several days the ground had been
settling aud timbers creaking. Monday.
with a mighty crash, the earth caved.
carrying with it the new shaft. levels,
drifts and slopes. From assures on
the surface comes cloud Of sulphur
smoke from that part of the mine which
has been on fire for several years.
The extent Of the damage has not yet
been ascertained, but if it is as bad as
feared the great property will be closed
and the existence of Jerome will be
doomed.-
The hosting works, which are over
the mine, have settled and the ma
chinery cannot be worked. The smelt-
ing plant has also been shut down and

Rockefeller and Son at Outs.

A New York dispatch Of May 81 says
that John D. Rockefeller Jr., according
to statements made by members of his
Bible class intends to follow his
action Of resigning the leadership Of the
class by Withdrawing from all official
connection with the Standard Oil Com
pany. This determination, it was said,
is due only in part, if at all, to i'll
health, but largely the result of the
great public outcry against tainted
money" recently raised by a number
Of Congregational clergymen in New
England and taken up by clergymen OF
other denominations and by the people
at large. 1t was further said that
young Rockefeller had held several
heated interviews with his father on
the general subject Of Standard Oil
