That for d town siz: months
old, in new and utterly un-
developed country, with little
Z yet to sustain it save the energy
1 and indomnitable zeal of its
) courageous pioneer citizens,
D Las Vegas has made remark
, able progress.
, 1t has built up an extensive
business community; 1t has
Z curbed, graded and oiled its
streets and installed a domestic
! water system; it has formed
: companies to encourage home
) building and the development
of the surrounding country.
, But it is only six months old.
2 1t started with wild and in
excusable boom. From that
boom it took time to recover,
but it has recovered, and just
: recently, from normal condi-
5 tions and a more substantial
D foundation, it has begun to go
ahead, gradually, earnestly
! sensibly to work out its destlny
There are many opportunities
in Las Vegas, There is water
to be procured, mineral and
agricultural land to be devel-
4 oped, industries to be estab-
} hshsd-fortunes to be made
and the reason these opportunl-
ties are here is BECAUSE
THESE THINGS HAVE NOT
YET BEEN DONE.
The kind of men who do
! things are not attracted by
. statements that read like mir
J acles. Opportunity, the idol of /,
the industrious, reflects clearer
in the mighty mirror of Trnth I
than in the cheap hand-glass
of misrepresentation.
Following is the character of
the foundation from which Las
Vegas is now building:
A transcontinental railroad. (

Railroad division point.
Modern business community

PLACER QUARTZ

At Butte, Montana, an interesting
mining decision was rendered last week
involving the right to locate quartz
claim on property originally patented as
a placer claim.
The possessors claimed the title to the
placer was good for the reason that six
years uninterrupted and undisPuted
possession made the claim good against
all other parties.
There were a number OF special find
ings in the case. They were all to the
effect that a quartz claim was good as
against the title of a placer patent,
where was a "known vein" of quartz,
was Of sufficient value TO justify the
working Of 1t it-Beatty Miner,

County commissioners;


William Jennings Bryan declares
himself again and defines the l6 TO !
theory relative to President John A.
Mccall. OF the New York Life. ''If
President Mccall had paid money out
of his own pocket, instead of taking it
from widows or orphans, said Mr.
Bryan, he might have more reason
20 boast. If his Judgment on the sill
yer question is no better than his judg-
ment on the use of trust funds, / would
dispute his authority. His opinion
of free silver is probably founded upon
the opinion of some fnancier, and
not upon any actual knowledge Of the
subject His understanding of i6 to
seems to be that the directors get $40
to 81 give TO the policy holders. "

Did you ever notice that the railroad
has the bad habit of sneaking into "a
town or city by the most uninterest-
ing route. Back alleyways, tunnels
and factories are the usual vista seen
from railroad train as il enters come
historic capital. One of the roads
to Annapolis enters via Buzzards'
Roost, where. in winter, there are
enough rags stuffed in the windows
to start paper mill. Another road
enters the town via back yards, and
the circus lot. Strangers coming into
town, the States capital. and one of
the most historic towns in the country
are given. as Haw thorne says, the back
view of the tapestry.

The hearing before local magis-

should be lesson to all. AS the ma

to have the public thoroughfares turn

home, in order to eventually relder the
country independent Of foreign yards.
VIII Build New Type OF Vessels.
The admiralty has accepted Mr..
Schwab's proposition strictly ON its
merits, he having convinced the au-
thorities that he can produce for Rus.
STA warships vastly superior to any now
afioat or at present projected by any
foreign government. They will BE-
monster l6, 900 ton vessels Of enormous
horsepower and Of q peculiar typo,
combining the projectile resisting pow
er Of the battleship with the speed and
wide range Of action OF cruisers. They
will be delivered fully equipped a. to
armor and ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval
architecture and construction which
these American built ships will mark
10 guarded secret, but 1t 10 believed
it will involve the use Of nickel steel
Of greater tensile strength, which, in
machinery, boilers, frames, etc., will
give greater power with decreased
weight. Mr.. Schwab guarantees to
create vessels with 20 per cent higher.
efficiency than any now existing.
viii Divide Contract.
1t is understood, however, that not
all the ships will be built by the Beth
lehem company, IA the time for deliv-
cry is factor, Russia desiring that
the ships be turned over az ea1ly az
possible. While the Bethlehem COM
pany will supply the armor and ord
nance, other American yards will
profit in the construction of the bulls.
