ELECTRIC LIGHTS
To be Supplied by S. P. Com.
pany in Eastern Towns

Word has been given out that appar-
emily is reliable of the contemplated con-
structions by the Southern Pacific kali
road Company, by which Carlin, Elko
and probably other points are to be illu-
minated by electricity of the most mod
ern form, both for individual and railroad
use.
1t has been noticed that at the time OF
reconstruction of their telegraph system
the company allowed the old telegraph
poles to remain standing. This they sand
was for the purpose of building up an
electric system along the line of road
covering the new tunnels and the signals.
The plant will be established and run
at Carlin and power will be transmitted
east by wire for signal lights and prob
ably for depot lighting.
When we take into consideration the
railroad lights and the fact that the
Lamoille Electric Light Company Will
soon run its line into Elko it is only
natural to expect that Elko will soon
have an abundance of light and power.

DEATH Of OLD
HUMB0LDTER
Hon. O. X. Stampley, Formerly
State Senator, Passed Away
Last Monday

Hon. o. K. Stampley, who represented
of the Nevada Assembly in 1869 and In
the Seventh and Eighth sessions of the
Senate in 1875 and 1877. died at his home
in Oakland last Monday. -Ir. Stampley
will be remembered by all old-time Hum
boldters as a man among men of his gen.
GRAFTON. He formerly kept a hotel In
Winnemucca and was elected to the As
sembly way back in the good old days Of
the Cos. So faithfully did he represent
ator in 1875. After completing his term
of office he remained in Carson and be-
came the proprietor of Carsons, at that
time, leading hotel. the st. Charles. The
many friends of Mr.. Stampley will read
the account of his death with much re-
gret Mrs. Stampley In still alive and
resides in Oakland.
At the Third session of the Assembly.
when Mr.. Stampley represented this
old Humboldter, was chosen Speaker. For
years Mr.. Julian has resided in Reno and
is now at his home in that city awaiting
the summons that must come to us all
sooner or later. Mr.. Julian has been
very Ill for over two years and has not
been out of his house for nearly two
years. The death of the pioneers who.
made 1T possible for future generations
to live and make for themselves COM
Portable homes in Nevada set the wheels
of memory to running at a rapid rate,
but we are all waiting. just waiting for
the final summons which will call U
hence.
The writer of this. as a boy remem-
bers how admiringly he looked at Sena-
tor Stampley and wondered Ii he would
ever grow to manhood and be so honored
by being chosen to represent the people
in the Nevada Senate. In those days it
took character and standing to be ele-
waited to the high position of State Sem
ator.

Minor or Miner.

Another brief on the Minor family Is
sent us, from which we Gull the follow
ing: MRS c.. NJ. l.. believes that the
Minors OF Virginia e. e.. those that arc
descended from Garrett Niinor) are OF
English origin and are descendants OF an
Engllshman named Minor who emigrnted
to Massachusetts in 1880. Dr.. B. B. Mi
nor. however. believes that the ancestors
of Garrett Minor were OF Dutch origin.
II there is any old record. will or copy
thereof which would give the parentage
OF Garrett Minor. that should settle tho
matter at once. In the Middlesex county
records (see Times Dispatch OF April
3oth) 1t is stated that Garrett Minor
brought oysters ashore 1904"
From this date he must have been a
son or grandson OF either the Dutch
Minor or an English Miner-always pro-
vlded that there Is no reason to believe
any other family named Minor or Miner
settled in Virginia before 1904. There Is
certainly no record of any other. II
there Is record Of the children and
grandchildren OF the New England Miner.
who settled in Virginia, ana Garrett
Minors name not among them. he could
not have descended from that branch.
II there Is any authentic record Of the
children and grandchildren OF Doodcs
Mitfbr, and Garrett Minors name Is upon
such record. 1t proves he descended from
tho Dutch Minors. c. NJ. L. is referred
for proof OF this to William and Mary

this Dutch Mimdert- Doodes. with his will
AS recorded in R1ddlesex county. and a
list OF his children and grandchildren.
by which 1t will be seen that Garrett
Minor was direct descendant OF the
! Dutchi11an.
G. NJ. L. seems to give tho English
ancestry and two generations OF the New
England Minors. but has not connected
them with Garrett Minor Of Virginia.
Certainly the Dutch sailor seems to have
| tho preponderence OF evidence, Which,
ought TO settle the question.
