Souris Republican: Every paper
should be the expression of some person
ality, just as every work receives the
imprint of it's author. A paper
without a personal force is like man
without face, and is absolutely worth
less in county and in state. A paper
that doesn't make some one mad that
doesn t stir up the elephant and an
tagonize somebody's pet theme and
whim, is not worth the powder to blow
it up, or the paper it is printed on.
We hate to be considered the public
mule. hired to do the kicking. But
to be as passive and non resistant as
clam is state to be lamented. We
would rather be mule than clam.

GAGE a rARBELL.

that he organized this whole great
Equitable fight so that he might sue
ceed to the presidency of the company
very proud position, by the way,
paying 100000 per year. And, lastly,
they say that the board of directors
have 'got wise" to this and that they
are unanimously Of the opinion that
Tarbell must be forced out. This is
the latest development of the immense
struggle for millions. Still, one can
never tell. Gage f. Tarbell has a
strange habit Of lighting on his feet.
A Picturesque Career.
Mr.. Tarbell's career is picturesque.
Born in Chenango county. N. Y, in
1856, he helped pay his way through
school by soliciting life insurance.
Then he went into the jewelry busi-
ness at the little town of Marathon.
Then he studied law. Waiting for eli
ents was not to the liking of his active
mind, so he began again soliciting in
surance. Then the western fever took
him, and he went to Madison, Wis.,,
bought out an Equitable agency and
began to develop his wonderful pow
ers as an insurance agent. So we'll did
he succeed that he was not satisfied
with his $1,000 salary and asked to be
placed on commission basis. He
dreamed of 100000 policies. The
smaller, ones he took as filters. It was
for the big ones that he planned. Then

and he embarked In this. AS pro-
moter he had the same success as he
had as an insurance solicitor. The
mine bubble burst after time, but
Tarbell got out with a good stake.
About this time he went to Milwaukee.
There was great furniture company
that failed, and Tarbell in some way
was in as having been assigned some
Of the claims. There were assertions
Of irregularity in connection with this
assignment, and the case went to the
courts. Tarbell won as usual. Then
back into the insurance business. More
success than ever. Given the state Of
Wisconsin, then transferred to Chicago
and given several other states. It was
here that an incident occurred which
probably explained the reason Tarbell
was made the third vice president Of
the company at the age Of thirty
Let him tell this in his own language.
Here Is his account:
"On the last day of November, 1891,
Z received q telegram from Mr.. Hen
~ B. Hyde. the late president Of this
society, asking me If could give him
from the field under my management
$500 900 Of business in the month of

Mr.. Andrews is truly one of the
best and most popular comedians on
the American Stage. His new comedy,
"Birds of a Feather, is said to be
one extremely good. The plot and
comedy features hold an audience
convulsed with laughter from start to
finish, while the musical features are
brilliant. He is unquestionably sup
ported by the greatest cast Of singers
that ever appeared in comedy Of
this kind, they all being operatic art

Lewis and Clark Exposition

It is noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
wrolds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid of the Government.
And it is also surprising what an
interest is manifested in the Exposit,-
ion by the people Of the East. They
see in the Exposition an opportunity
to visit the Western country at a
greatly reduced expenditure Of money,
and not only see the Exposition it self,
but view the wonders Of our Western
scenery. and witness the great re-
sources Of the Northwest and the op-
portunities afforded. The Great
Northern Railway passenger depart
ment has been flooded with inquiries
as to the Exposition, and it augurs
we'll for q big travel through the
Northwest this year.

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-09-01

The Nevada Prospecting and Mining Company
has been organized under the Federal laws of the
District of Columbia, with a capital stock Of 1,5OO,-
900 shares, par value $1.00 each. Of this the gener-
GUS sum of 100000 shares have been placed in the
Treasury after the of all of the pre-
liminary work and the acquisition of the valuable
holdings mentioned above. For a limited time this
stock will be on the market at a low figure, but in
view OF the increasing value of our holdings an
advance will be made on an early date.
We believe that this is the opportunity that
you have been seeking to make money in Goldfeld.
We feel that we will here have a combination of
capital, energy, experience and ability that will
put our proposition out of the category of luck"
on a safe business basis. i.
We feel that you cannot but betimpressed with
the plan of operation and opportunities for good
profit assured by our Company. The. entire enter
prise@hinges, yo4t no doubt conclude, on the char
acter of the management and of the officers and
directors Of the Company. The reputation of these
men should be particularly reassuring to you.
When | organized the Nevada Prospecting and
Mining COMPANY | believed, and in this regard have
not changed my opinion, that Nevada was a rich
field for the operations of such a federation and
the results of the enterprise | think verify the
opinion. We have several men at work on our
Bullfrog claims and are slowly developing one Of
the best looking properties in the district, consider
ing the amount of development accomplished.
There is a fine ledge five feet across, which is ex-
posed on the surface for several hundred feet, and
it is on this ledge that we are prosecuting develop
ment work. A. good strike has been made within
five hundred feet of our Cardinal" claim on the
west and we are endeavoring to locate the "pay
streak on our own ground.
Our superintendent reports that they are max
ing good 'spannings'' and the indications are that
we shall have one of the best properties in the
district. AS a matter of fact, | had a bona fde
cash offer for the Cardinal claim which if ac-
cepted would have enabled the directors to declare
a dividend sufficient to repay every dollar received
by the Company for the stock that up to this time
has been issued AS this offer comes from a con-
