BRIDGEPORT. Conn. Jan. 4-Denis
NulvihfIl, Bridgeport's -stoker mayor,
who has asked Representative Lee to in
troduce bill in the Connecticut Leg
;slature reducing his salary and that of
all local mayors to come from 5000 to
81 O09 or lower, said:
TT is my contention that we will have
Just as good mayors at Slo0o year as on
a salary of 5000. The man who seeks
tho Office does not ask his fellcw-citI-
zens for their votes that he may enjoy
the salary. A mayor should be willing
to give his services to the city rather
than go into Office with the idea that he
can save money. Considered from this
viewpoint of compensation the salary is
far too high.
There Is lots of planning to be done
in the Office q man must give much
time to it. and he must stand a whole
lot of abuse When you talk of paying
a man for the thinking he does, the
worry and loss of sleep he undergoes,
and the abuse he has TO put up with, no
salary would be ADEQUATE. But those
things go with the office l have al

EDISON IN HANDS
OF THE SURGEONS
Remove Mastoid Abcess
Near Inventors Ear.
ACTION is TAKEN SUDDENLY
Patient Had Long Been Under Treat
Enent for Trouble. But Failed
to Respond.

ORANGE, Jan PA critical surgi-
cal operation WAS performed on
Thomas A Edison, the inventor, at his
home, Glenmont, in Lleycllyn Park, a
suburb of West Orange, last night
Great secrecy was maintained by the
family in regard to the affair, and few
details could be obtained.
The operation was for mastoid alb
cess behind the ear, and very close to
the brain. The operating surgeon was
DR.. Arthur b. Duel, Of pa Madison
Avenue. Manhattan, who was assisted
by the Edison family physician. DR..
John Hammond Bradshaw. of Orange
The anesthetic was administered by
an assistant who accompanied Dr. Duel
from New York.
Deaf for Years.
Mr.. Edison as is generally known,
has been very deaf for many years, and
the affiiction has been growing worse.
He has been suffering considerably for
about a week, and the matter of an op-
Grafton was preached several days ago,
but there was strong hope until this
afternoon that it might be avoided
1t developed yesterday, however,
that, while Mr. Edison was better in
many particulars, the growth was not
Welding to treatment, and the conclu-
sion was reached that the operation
would have TO be performed at once.
Prepare for Operation
Mr. Edison was told. and immediate
Iy preparations were made. DR.. Due
arrived in Orange after dinner with his
assistant, Mr.. Edison seemed perfectly
composed, though fully realizing the
seriousness of the matter
The operation was begun at 1885
o'clock, and it was nearly two hours
before it was completed.
Mr.. Edison, who is fifty-seven years
old, did not go to bed until yesterday

He made an ex- animation of the work going on at the Boiudo placers, and is satisfied that Che developments will justify expenditure of a great deal of money. He looks for a gold rush into the Altar district as a result of the developments.
 Major H. c. Reno manager for the Trinity Mining Co.,, which has taken over the Jojoba mine, a property long held by Nj. Latz x Brothers, is pushing developments vigorously and building up a hustling camp. The Jojoba has been long known as a property of merit, and is counted as destined to make record production At the time of the visit fears were expressed by his friends in Mazda lena for the safety of Mir. N. H. Jewell, an American prospector who has made the place his head quarters a number of months He had some prospects near Llano, where he was having work done. One day last week he left one of his camps to go to another about three miles distant, but was never seen again. It was feared some mishap had befallen him.
 Mir. Miguel Latz had d letter from Mir. ] G. Chism. at Tuape, dated May 1st. which stated that an American, name unknown, had been killed by Yaquis between that place and Poza station, April 27th--a month ago.

 The work of development and erection of machinery at many inn portant camps in the district is making good business, and the town is showing 1t. The district being outside of the zone of Yaqui depredations has not suffered as have those farther south, and traf- fc is not so impeded as in the other districts.
 In anticipation of the work now going on there was quite build- ing boom last year, and the town was little overbuilt. Many of the enterprises then counted on have but just commenced to mater ialize, giving employment for many workmen, new people moving in and vacant houses filling up.
 The new school building which was started last year upon a popn- lar subscription inaugurated by Colonel Juan Fenochio of Ld Gea- darmeria Fiscal, is approaching completion. Upon the front part of the building the finishing touches are being put on, and within a few weeks several of the school rooms " Il be completed and ready for use. The structure. which is a handsome brick edifice trimmed with stone, is built in rectangular form, surrounding a patio The front and sides are now under roof, while the walls for the rear DOT tion of the building, which will enclose the patio, are now in course of construction. The build- ing is very handsome, and a credit |, thr town and state.
 Since the last visit of the scribe, the Hotel Edwards has moved into new quarters, a much larger build- ing of two stories, nearer the depot than the former location. In the same building are the offices of the Black Mountain Gold Mining Co, (Cerro Prieto), Mr. N. c. Banks, general manager.
 Saturday evening of last week Mr. L. w. Bonney who has heen operating in mines in the Mazda lena district several years, started for his home in Seattle, Washing ton, where he will remain until fall,

Guillermo Valenzuela runs a daily stage line between Mazda lena and Cerro Prieto making the time through in 83 hours, with two changes of horses on the road, the first at the Alamos ranche, about fifteen miles out, and the other al the Pintor ranche, on the Dolores river Going both ways the stage stops for dinner at the Alamos.
 The machinery for the Sombre- ritillo mine in the Altar district, near Saric, is transferred from rail to wagon transportation at Mazda lena, and is now en route to des- tination.
