Mr., Mears' Bull Pup.

On one particular topic a great and
lasting silence has come over w. A.
Mcars. The subject in question is his
bull terrier.
There was time, not so very long
ago, when Mr.. Mcars thought his par
ticular terrier was the most perfect
specimen of canine in existence. lie
may think so yet You can never tell
what one is thinking when he is silent.
The terrier had taken a number of
prizes at dog shows. 1t had also taken
various and sundry Migrants by the
bosom of the trousers and ushcred
them from Mr.. Mears premises. For
alertness the dog seemed absolutely
without parallel This fact was APP
preciated by Mr. Mcars, who had the
terrier sleep at the foot of his bed to
watch for INSCRIPTIONS providers who
might chance into the house in search
of plumber.
One night recently prowler came.
He got in through window. eau
tiously he stepped tnsengh the dark
Railways and rooms, ransacEing bu-
reaus, hooks and crannics. Finally he
came to Mr.. Mears' sleeping room. Lit
tie thought he of the danger, of the
alert and fcrocious terrier guarding its
master and ready to Sink its fangs in
any one who might seek to trcspass
upon the sacred domain. Cautiously
the burglar crept into the room and
flashed his dark lantern about in the
darkness until he located a pair of am
pie trousers, and not wishing to dis
turb the sleeping dog, which looked so
deliciously comfortable on its masters
feet, went into a nearby bathroom and
extracted Mr. MearS' coin therefrom.
After which the intruder left the place
by the way he had entered.
Thus Mr. Mears lost his confidence
in his dog and his pocketbook at one
fell swoop. And while he still thinks
it is pretty tolerable sort of pup he
is not in the least averse to mailing
down the windows, boiling the doors
and taking other precautions against
burglars.-POrtland Oregonian.

Saturday morning at 2.40 o'clock. Her
mothers name is Nora. and we have
wanted to name one of the girls after
their mother, but she has objected.
For fear that we might not have an
other chance we this time insisted and
now we have Nora Lake, Jr., and w.
Il. Lake Jr., one named after the head
of the house and one after the mother.
And the new arrival is one of the pref

saw in a weeks travel, and she resem-
bles her mother very much. Well,
how time flies. If this little Speck OF
humanity that has come into our home
shall live to be twenty years old the

sixty years of AEGEAN old man-and
she will be the one to remain with the
old folks and take care of them as they
sit in the chimney corner and contem-

good as our other girls we snail nave
no regrets and will come down to the

A Id Engineer.

What may not be generally known
and what's certainly not appreciated
by a great many people who have
had occasion to admire his work. lie
the fact Tonopah claims as a resident
a mining engineer of proven ability
and genius equal to that of any, not
excepting John Hays Hammond.
Like the great majority of men Of
genius, Mr.. Malcolm Mcdonald lacks
the commercial instinct which, had
r. possessed it, would have made
his name world famous long since, as
the author of many pieces Of en-
cheering, both here and in the min
ing districts Of Montana. However.
even a mans modesty, when the man
chances to be the author Of things
intended to make him famous, can.
not always prevent his worth be-.
coming known aud appreciated, and
so it chances that Tonopah's modest
resident is surely destined to sit
among the worlds greatest mining
engineers.

A Disgrace to Rndie.

Steve Andrews OF Bodie, a Young
mar twenty-five years Of age, is in a
very serious position. He must
answer the charge of murder, beng
accused Of causing the death of a
Piute girl, fifteen years old. Inter.
ment had taken place before the
district attorney was informed Of the
case, %whereupon the body was i'm.
m~ediately ordered exhumed and an
autopsy held. This revealed the fact
that death had been the result of
%peritonitis superinduced by a rupture
Of blood vessels and other internal in
%juries caused by an outrage alleged
to have been committed by Andrews.
1t was at first reported that the
Piutes in the vicinity we're inclined
to make trouble over the affair, but
this was later contradicted. An.

their output here. They are down
315 feet with ore blocked out to the
bottom. The Quartzite, at Dia-

the bonanzas of the camp, and the
showing made thus far is a remark
able one. | learn from good
authority that another find Of hike
magnitude is soon to be reported
from that vicinity which will create
quite a stir. The Simmerone frac.
ton has made a few shipments by ex-
press. This is one Of the properties
about which little is known, as the
company is a close corporation and
information is hard to get. 1t is
rumored that an $50, 600 dividend has
been paid. The property is enclosed
by a high board fence, and it is IN
derstood that a small arastra is be.

that a very high grade of ore is be.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
DON'T ASK roo MUCH.

The task OF the sheriff and his
deputies here is one which can hard-
ly be appreciated by the uninitiated,
and with an increase in the commits
sion of crimes OF a grave character,
the public is apt to overlook many OF
the trials and difficulties which con
front the officers in their efforts to
bring the malefactors to justice. 1t
should be borne in mind that this
country is being flooded with men
from all over the world, and, as it is
TO be expected, the great rush
now in progress, brings in its train
no inconsiderable criminal element.
This is scattered through the dis
tricts of mining activity, and the re
suit is shown by an increasing mum
Der OF offenses against the laws.
Under these conditions much may
be accomplished by hard work and
untiring perseverance or the part Of
the officers, but there are many
things which cannot, and should not
be expected. No one man, nor any
six men, could reasonably be ex-
pected to clear up all the mysteries
which are bound to come to the pub
lie notice.
1t requires more than p~ersever-
ance; more than hard work, and
more than experience to cope with a
situation such as confronts the of
icers Of Nye county. 1t calls for
the widest possible knowledge OF
crooks and crookdum in order that
when a crime has been committed
the Investigating officer, may,
through his knowledge of what
criminals are in the vicinity, their
previous records, methods and a
thousand and one other things, ar
rive at an early conclusion as to the
perpetrator, his motive and other
necessary points upon which to base
an Investigation.
This wide knowledge cannot in rea
o and fairness be supposed to lie in
the possession of men who have not
served almost a life time at the bust
ness of thief taking in the service oil
a metropolis, and therefore, all that
the people have a right to demand oil
the officers of this branch of the
county service is business. like
methods and the energetic discharge
of duty to the best of their ability.

AN OBJECT LESSON

The recent fire in Goldfeld o
stitutes a splendid object lesson, II
one were needed, which the citizens
Of Tonopah should not fail to profit
by.
Goldfeld has water and its accom-.
panying fire fighting apparatus, not
withstanding which she narrowly es-
capped a devas tating fire, and suffered
as it was a severe loss. This in the
face Of the fact that her fire fighting
apparatus was effectively handled.
1t takes no great stretch Of the
imagination to picture what Tolopah
would look like the next morning, If
during one of these windy nights, a
fire should break out anywhere with
in the more closely built district.
The two chemical engines we have
are wholly inadequate to cope with
any fire not discovered ia its incip.
iency.
Fire fighting apparatus is expen.
sive, but universal experience teaches
that it is much cheaper than the ex-
pe%rience which teaches its necessity.
Don't wait till the horse is gone TO
lock the stable door, or the town
burned down before equiping a fire
department. DO il NOW.

THE "YELLow PERIL

Congressman John A. 7. Hull,
chairman of the house military com
mittee, has recently voiced the SEN
timents Of a great many thinking
people throughout the country, in
the future outlook in the orient. He
fears trouble with Japan, after her
present difficulties with Russia are
disposed of, over the Philippines.
Japan, he asserts, needs the islands,
and, should she collect, as is thought
probable, a heavy indemnity from
Russia, she will try to buy the COW
e,ed property from the United
States, but, failing in this the fear is
voiced that she will quickly find some
excuse for a rupture of the present
friendly relations and seek to take
the islands by force of arms.
In reply to this sentiment Senator
Spooner, in a brief speech, has voiced
the feeling of every true American,
by saying that mo government in
the world can take from us what be
longs to u.s."
This is all very well on the part of
Senator Spooner. He has voiced a
sentiment without which the Ameri-
can people would not be where they
are today, but Notwithstanding the
fact that we all believe we could
whip Japan, that does not in any way
prevent the Japanese from enter
tanning the same laudable and
patriotic belief, neither does it in
any way preclude the possibility of a
covetous feeling in the minds of the
Mikado's government. IT should be
remembered that should the Jap
anese be victorious over the Russians
they will be a nation flushed with the
victories of two wars, the latter with
no mean adversary, and their will
ingness to engage in further trials of
arms will be correspondingly mani
fest.
Emperor William Of Germany long
ago pointed out the yellow Peril
and while there is nothing new in the
idea, there is undoubtedly food for
much earnest thought on the part OF
the people of this country and their
statesmen.
