this property will average $25 to the

NEARLY PERISH ON DESERT
Six Men from Goldfeld Lose Their
Way in the Storm.

Thomas Summers of Reno, William
Walker of San Francisco and John
Crumley of Cripple Greek were among
a party of six passengers lost on the
desert south of Goldfield during the
blizzard that ragged through Southern
Nevada Monday night and Tuesday Of
last week.
The party left in the face of the storm
Monday for Ida. Several miles ont
the storm increased to such an extent
that the four horses could not be urged
on. They were finally cut loose and
the men started to walk. They soon
lost their way and wandered In the
desert until the following morning.
when they reached the Sixteen Nile
House, from which place they were
carried on sleighs to Goldfield and
placed under the care of physicians.
Crumley was nearly blinded and was
in the most seri Us condition. The
storm was the greatest ever reported in
that section Of the State.

TO FIGHT THE WILDCATS.
Mining Men in Southern Camps Want
Laws to Protect Their Stocks.

A Tonopah dispatch says: Mining
men in Tonopah and Goldfeld are dis
cussing the propriety of urging the
next Legislature to enact stringent laws
relating to the organization and opera
tion of mining companies. Owners Of
legitimate properties in Tonopah and
the various other Nevada camps say
they are seriously handicapped by the
hundreds of wildcat companies that
have been organized for no other pur.
pose than to unload worthless stock on
the public.
One measure that is sure to be in
troduced will be to prevent the incor-
poration Of a company that has no
other asset than a bond on mining prop
erty. In nearly ali instances companies
of this sort have failed to take up the
bonds. which are usually for big figure.
and the purchasers of treasury stock
are left without a cent for their invest
ment.
The Nevada incorporation laws arr
exceedingly lax, with the result that
persons seeking investment have little
protection against fraud.

ated furore in New York. That was
in 1887. He was accompanied on the
tour of America which he made at that
time by his father, Casimer Hofmann,
a conductor of opera in Warsaw, Po-
land. Even at eight years old the boy
had attracted the attention of Anton
Rubinstein, who believed him to be
one of the musical marvels of the age.
When they heard him eighteen years
ago many predicted that Hoffman,
would never come to musical maturity,
so precocious did his talents seer, but
he has disappointed such expectations.
Besides being one of the greatest pian-
lists of his time Hofmann has remark
able genius as an electrician and
mechanician. He has patented several
inventions and has built automobiles
with his own hands. As boy he had
an ambition to marry princess. The
lady he has chosen for his bride has
no title, but is regarded as an excep-
tionaily clever and attractive woman.

of work in his office and lack of help
made it impossible to make his
quarterly report as required by law.
He contends that his collections Of
something over ss0. 900 is a pretty good
showing for his office even if he did not
get all the licenses. He says that per-
sonal receipts were given "by and with
the consent of the County Commits
sioners" aud each was marked ''for
license" Sheriff Logan says that any
loss the county has suffered thereby, he
is willing to confess judgment upon
proper proof.
