EUREKA ON THE UPGRADE
Work on Road to Ruby Hill Progress
ing-PrOperty i'm Demand.

The people of Eureka have yet to
learn that the Eureka Con. aud Rich.
mond mining properties have passed
into the hands of the United States
Mining and Smelling Company. For
several months o deal for the Ruby
Hill mines has been under way, and
last week the two companies held meet
ings at which it is thought the transfer
was made. but nothing has been given
out to the public. Meanwhile. the
work that has been done in the mines,
on the Stag dumps and on the railroad
grade by Ruby Hill, aud which is being
carried on without intermission, has
inspired confidence in the people that
all is progressing in the direction of a
revival for Eureka. Property owners
are being sought and asked for terms
for their realty holdings, and many in.
quiries are also coming in from the
outside. Two stores on Main street
were leased this week and several other
pieces of property are being negotiated
for.
A force of men started to work SAM
ping the Eureka Consolidated Stag
dump in Eureka last Sunday, and as
was done with the Richmond dump
samples are being taken from every ten
feet of the big pile and assayed. This
dump contains between 100000 aud
700,000 tons of Stag.
The force of graders ON the railroad
to Ruby Hill was increased this week
and good headway is being made with
the work. They are now working in
the cut opposite William Blair's house
on Mob Hill. more than a mile from the

Sehwab May Build Smelter.

The Tonopah correspondent of the
San Francisco journal of Commerce
says hat when @. M. Schwab was in
Tonopah recently he said he would prob
ably build a smelter, and it is an
nounced that the site for this has been
purchased in San Franc isco. Plans are
being drafted and the plant will be con-
structed by the Union Iron Works in
that city, of which Mr.. Schwab is the
dominant factor. He credits Mr..
Schwab with saying that if the Tono-
pah Railroad, which now charges Az
cents per ton per mile for hauling ore to
Sodaville, will not reduce its rates. he
will build his own railroad to connect
with the Western Pacific, now con-
structing to the Coast.

Business of the Western Pacific.

Gould Express Concern Contracts for
Business of the Western Pacific.
The building of the Western Pacific
from Salt Lake to San Francisco will
not only give the Pacific States a com
petiug transcontinental railroad, but it
may also give the people of the West
relief from the exorbitant express
charges they have hal to pay Wells
Fargo for many years. A New York
dispatch of Oct. 23 says:
IL was announced to-day that the
Globe Express Company, a Gould enter
prize. which was recently organized.
has signed contracts with the Western
Pacific Railroad, whereby it will have
the exclusive franchise to operate over
that road.
The concern will also succeed the
Wells-Fargo Company on the Rio
Grande Western, as soon as the latter's
franchise expires.

DEATH OF GEORGE WEDEKIND

George Wedekind, one Of Nevada's
best known citizens. died at his home
in Reno. Washoe County. Saturday
evening. Oct. 81, 1905. Death was
caused by general infirmities and was
no doubt fastened by the injuries he
received last July in an automobile ac-
cident al Reno.
A son. John l.. Wedekind, has been
mining and prospecting through this
section for several months. making Eu-
reka his headquarters. Last week he
received news that his fathers condi-
ton was alarming and he Immediately
left for Reno.
All the immediate members of the
family were present when the final sum-
mons came except his son. Henry Wede.
kind, who arrived but a few moments
too late from Yerington, Lyon County.
where he was looking after his mining
properties. The deceased leaves a
widow, three sons. John L., Henry and
Louis, and two daughters, Mrs. Charles
Laden aud Mrs. H. d. Ramsay, all of
Reno.
George Wedekind was born in Hesse,
Cassel, Germany, ~ years ago. He
came to America in 1855. entering the
piano business in the East. Six years
later he came West and located at San
Francisco. In 1868 he came to Nevada,
settling first in White Pine County and
later making Eureka his home. About
nine years ago he moved to Reno.
About six years ago he discovered the
Wedekind gold and silver mine, five
miles northeast of Reno, which in 1901
he sold to Governor John Sparks of Ne.
vada for $150,000. His name has been
associated with various mining opera
tions throughout the State and other
enterprises of its early days. Mr.. Wede.
kind was a man of sterling worth,
kindly and generous, and in his days of
prosperity he was the same friend to the
friends of his darker days.
The funeral took place at Reno Mon
day, interment being in the Masonic
cemetery.

INDIAN CAUSES TROUBLE.
Points Rife at Baling Crew To Make
Them Quit Work.

Whisky Joe, an Indian, visited the
Depaoli ranch, four miles northeast of
Eureka, Thursday in a drunken con-
dition and went into the field where
the men were making ready to bale hay.
Joe objected 10 them continuing the
work, but the men paid no attention to
him and in a little while he went away.
He soon returned with "a rifle and point
ing the gun 1t the men he told them he
did not want them to bale any hay
His objections this time were needed
and the entire crew scattered into the
brush out of rife range. One of
the men fastened to town and notified
the Sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff
Angelo Florio went out to the ranch
and arrested Joe, brought him into
town aud put him in Jail.
A trial and conviction and a sentence
to work out cleaning up the streets of
Eureka would give Joe a good chance
to get rid of his big size jag, and at the
same time be a lesson to him and some
more Indians around town who are
getting all the whisky they want and
disturbing the peace not only of the
white people but the sober Indians,
also. Several Indians who had to work
out sentences on the streets last year for
drunkenness have since made them
selves very scarce in Eureka.

THE WAY-A SUGGESTION.

We read that President Roosevelt
favors the earliest possible action
looking to revision by Congress of
the tariff. He is now secure in his
high office until 1909, and feels that
he can afford to make prominent an
element in his craftsmanship which,
naturally enough, has been lost to
view, If not forgotten, in the need
and stress of practical politics. The
president is not theoretically high
protectionst, and his proposed policy
is at one with his principles from.
as It seems his entrance upon public
life.
The average citizen would be SAN
guine indeed to anticipate any con-
siderable abatement of the tariff tax
as the result of congressional revision
by the party in power. Selfish inter
est is ever slow to see why the priv
lege on which it fattens should be re-.
dueed in quantity. And because this
is natural and therefore what must be
looked for, expectation of substantial
tariff reform within the next presi.
Dental term is too remote to be en-
tertained. The same thing holds
good of other reforms which are
loudly called for in the interests of
the people, against audacious plum
