Woman Wondered At Stars.

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 29.-Gov-
ernor Stokes received a letter We'd
nesday from Libbie Garraband
paroled from the State PRISON last
week after serving thirty-three
years of q life sentence for mur-
der. The woman expressed the
great obligation she felt toward
the Governor in tavoring her re.
lease.
After her long term of impris-
onment the thing that most i'm
pressed Libbie was her first glimpse
of the stars. She was taken from
the prison at night, and it was the
first time she had seen the heav-
ems at night since the day of her
incarceration. Neither did she re-
member the appearance of the
stars prior to her imprisonment.

whether he considered his life in
danger or not. He was convinced
that Mr.. Braswell could not have
done otherwise than he did, and
he therefore asked that he be dis
charged, which the magistrate i'm
meadiately did. When this an
nouncement was made there was
q tremendous cheer from the
crowd, and Mr.. Braswell's friends
crowded around him and grasped
his hand in congratulation and as
a commendation of his course.
Many in the crowd shed tears Of
Joy. The court house was packed
with people, one of the largest
crowds ever seen in there. Mr..
Braswell is a brave officer, q man
of excellent poise, and one who
would not act hastily in a case Of
this kind. He has been on the
police force only eight months,
but he has proven true to every
trust, and discharged his duty
without fear or favor. His con-
duct in this matter has been such
as to win him the respect and
admiration Of all who did not
know his good qualities before.
He is son of Rev. D. A. Bras
we'll. He was represented by
Montgomery & Crowell and L. T.
Hartsell.
Noles was young man about 25
years of age and worked at the
Gibson mill. The shot which
caused his death entered his
breast near the heart, causing his
death in few hours. He was a
son of Wiley Noles, of Charlotte,
where the body was taken for
burial.

Where Life Is Long.

Senator Tillman and colleague
were discussing the question of the
salubriousness of various sections
of the country. "Wen," said Mr..
Tillman, eff the healthfulness of
a region is indicated by the mere
longevity of it's inhabitants, then
[ think that Ashevllle, North Car
olina, must have the palm. AS
an illustration of how long-lived
the people are thereabouts, we
Carolinians are fond of telling
this story:
"A visitor from the North ask
ed an old gentleman where he was
born and how old he was. The
old chap replied: II was born
here in Asheville, and am seventy
years DID, "Ohl' exclaimed the
yankee, as you appear to be as
hale and hearty as man of forty,
I've no doubt you'll live to a ripe
old age. How old was youur
father when he died?"
''Father deadl' said the old
man, looking surprised. Father
isn't dead He's unstairs ,r+

CUT IN LIGHT RATES
Goldfeld Electric Light g. Power Co.
to Make Reduction Nov. /


Beginning November l, the Goldfeld
Electric Light G. Power company will
reduce the price of electricity to its
patrons, the cut to apply to the current
for lighting purposes. The reduction
has been under consideration for some
time past according to the statement OF
General Manager Hobbs, and was made
Just as soon as the conditions war
ranted. Prior to the merger of the
local plant with that of the Nevada
Power company the price of fuel and
other maintenance expenses, including
that of the engineers wages, ETC., made
it impossible to furnish light for less
thar the present scale of prices; when,
however, the greater portion of this
expenditure was eurtailed by the clts-
ing down of the local machine plant
and the connecting of its wires with
the main distributing line from the
Bishop creek plant, the opportunity
for making a cut in price to consum-
ers presented itself and was at once
taken advantage of. Even under these
changed conditions, however, the scale
has> not been lowered as much as the
company desired owing to the fact that
business is not as extensive as it should
be in a camp as large as Goldfeld, but
Mr.. Hobbs in speaking on the subject
to a reporter for The News, stated that
he hoped the cut would be appreciated
by the general pubne and that 1t would
result in an increase of patronage.

Possibilities.

After having spent several months
investigating the mineral resources of
the Nevada gold fields, and about two
weeks in the careful study of forma-
ton and general characteristics of this
district, / cannot help but feel that the
possibilities for the same are excep-
tionally good, and / have no hesitancy
in recommending this group of claims
to you or your friends as a safe and
reliable mining investment.
My opinions are entirely based on
the favoraDle mineralized conditions
existing in this territory and the I'M
usual high results of my assays. ]
doubt if better results were obtained
on any of the big producers
in the Goldfeld district at the time of
their discovery, and certain it is that
no better mineralized conditions ex-
listed at the vein out-crop than can be
found along the course of the veins on
your property.
With sufficient capital to properly
develop the property, it is my firm be-
lief that a mine of great value will be
made. Not at any point along this
great mineralized zone of the Nevada
desert does better conditions exist or
more favorable signs of a big producer
being found.-Samue1 g. Knott.

velopment that is being lone on it I'M
der the management of Mr.. Sam G.
mott.
While the property is as yet in an
undeveloped condition the surface
showing and development to date gives
promise of a mine of very great mag
nitude.
The formation and the conditions in
connection with the ore occurrences in
this property are practically identical
with those of the best portions of the
Goldfeld district. While the surface
showing both as to quantity and value
is fully equal to anything / have seen
in this region.
The work Mr.. Knott is doing on the
property is the most business like
piece of development work that I have
seen in the outlying camps.
Yours very truly,

MAKES FINAL CAMP
Virgil carp Has Followed the Trail
Across the Great Divide

A noted frontier character crossed
the Great Divide yesterday in the per
son of Virgil carp. In the early days

when that famous camp We'd with
Leadville in being the toughest camp
on earth, the carp boys, consisting Of
Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil, Warren, James
and one other whose name the writer
cannot now recall, were among the best
known men in Arizona. All of them
would fight at the drop of the hat
and two of their number-Morgan and
Warren-were killed in personal alter
cations. Wyatt, who was after
ward marshal of Tombstone and
one of the pioneers of Nome,
Alaska, is residing today N
Searchlight, and James lives in Saw

Angeles county, California. The father

joying a ripe old age. During one of
the scrimmages of the carp boys in the

and Billy Clanton were killed. For
more than a year past the deceased,
Virgil carp, a quiet unassuming man.,
has been engaged as special officer at
the National club in Goldfeld.
He endeared himself to all who knew
him and left behind him a host of
friends, and Clark B. Stocking, an old
