Suggestions as to
What We Should Do
To The ontic:

To The Optic:
Rociada. y. NJ, June 3, 1905.
Referring to your editorial Of the
2Sth inst. What Shall We Do" we
think with you. Something should be
done and that Immediately. We
therefore take the present as a means
10 express our views on the subject
and trust these viii aid To some extent
In relieving the state OF affairs indi.
Gated In the said article.
In the first place. we would sug-
fest that either the Commercial club,
the hotel keepers or the business men
generally agree upon a mean Of ad.
vertising the places in and around
Las Vegas where pleasure and health
seekers q be properly accommo-
dated, each according to his particu.
lar desire.
A pamphlet II booklet can be got.
Ten up at small expense, containing
complete information regarding ho-
tells, sanitariums. boarding houses,
summer resorts and fishing grounds,
also churches, lodges. clubs, business
houses and all other points of inter
oet and amusement.
Some suitable location should be
chosen for the establishment Of a bu-
rean Of information for the benefit OF
inquiring strangers.
IL 1t could be SO arranged as to have
a committee meet the trains at the
depot, distribute said pamphlets and
give unbiased information, 1t would
he possible for parties wishing to stay
In the vicinity 10 secure desirable ac-
commodations at once.
This good work should not stop at
the mere arrival Of visitors. but should
be carried on to the extent Of calling
on them from time to time and help
ing in every way possible 70 add 70
their comfort and pleasure.
All OF the foregoing being to the
best interest OF Las Vegas and vicin-
ity, II would seem that all concerned
TO whose advantage II might be for
strangers to remain In this country
should put their shoulders TO the
wheel and bring this project to a sue,
cessful issue. The writer, for one,

The dyke is a mixture Of phyolite,
porphyry and quartz, and shows val

places it is twenty feet wide,
Messrs. Oddie and Carstairs~ consider
the showing sufficiently good to drive

A Popular Public Official Passes
Away.

Deputy Sheriff W. H.. Cowan, u
OF Tonopah's most highly esteemed
citizens, crossed the great divide at
ten minutes to eleven o'clock Monday
after q brief illness. MI. Cowan was
taken i'll last Friday with acute
pneumonia and although everything
possible was done for him by DR..
Garner the dread disease accom-
pllshed its terrible work.
The deceased was q native OF Car
son, having been the second white
child born there, and was 43 years Of
age. He had been in the public ser.
vice for a long time and as a deputy
under Sheriff Logan made a most
efficient and painstaking officer.
He leaves a wife, daughter, mother
and grandmother to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Cowan's grandfather, Abe
Curry, was one Of the pioneer resi-
dents of Nevada. He built the
United States Mint at Carson and
formerly owned the hotel and springs
which is nov the site of the state
prison. Ills grandmother, Mrs. a.
Curry is still enjoying good health at
the ripe age of 80 years.
Mr.. Cowan was a member OF the

Workmen and Knights OF Khorassan,
The funeral took place Tuesday

Mr.. Shockley expresses the con

W. V. Rice is at the head, will prove
one Of the biggest propositions in
that busy camp Of big mines. Three
tunnels are being driven for the
development Of the ore bodies, but
no STOPPING has yet been done, only
the ore encountered in the advance
being thus far considered.
There is every Indication that tile

Iron or Steel?

At the recent meeting OF the

an animated discussion on the ques.
ton Of substituting iron FOR steel
in modern construction work. 1t
was brought out that in the west the
farmers declare that while their wire
fences were formerly good for thirty
years, they now begin to fail at the
end o! three years and the owners Of
buildings also say that steel columns
do not last as long and give the wear

Modern science is effacing the no.
mantle, adventurous and speculative
features from the business OF gold
mining, says the editor OF the Chicago
Tribune. Formerly gold hunters
went forth equipped with tools to dig
their fortunes from the earth with
their own hands, The individual
miner and his pick and cradle are
being rapidly displaced by costly
labor saving machinery. Gold min,
ing was formerly a lottery 1t was
probable that the argonaut would
would make no strike at al, but he
was lured on 10y the chance that he
might make u rich one. At present
gold mining in many places returns
more certain profits than a manufac-
tory.
The two scientific methods which
are transforming the industry Of gold
mining are the cyanide process, which
is employed in the working Of golt
bearing quartz and the application
Of the dredge to the development o
placer mines. The latter possesse'
the greater possibilities and is there
fore the more interesting.
