within few days. This evidence
which the District Attorney and his
assistant, Francis Heney regard as
being al. olUtely conclusive. was gath
cred by Secret Service Agent William
J. Burns and his corps of assistants.
Both District Attorney Langdon and
Mr. Heney feel that they have in theiI

Schmitz and Ruef immersed in the

1t is more than likely that Mayor
Schmitz's fine collection of Turkish

matters Investigated by the new grand
jury. BY this it is not meant that the
jurors will visit the Mayors resi-
dcnce and inspect the numerous and
handsome floor coverings that orna-
ment his home, but that he may be
called on TO explain how he got them.
Pays $500 For Rugs.
One of the best known local dealers
in rugs stated today that shortly af-
ter the great fire, at time when most
persons in San Francisco were Won
dering what they were going to do
when he rent came around, the May
or purchased and paid cash for rugs
valued at no less than $4,000, OF these
one rug alcne cost him the sum of

Tn ~ rchase was made immeditcly
after the supervisor, with me Mayors
assistance, presented the United
railroads with permanent permit to
operate its cars on practically all the
streets of San Francisco by means of
The overhead trolley. AT that time il
was openly charged that Schmitz and
the supervisors had been paid liberal
~ for the permit, that they were 4
crowd cf grafters. whose pockets were
Dulging with bribe money.
II thought at first that the news
papers in their attacks were too vio-
ent," said a merchant today but
when Schmitz paid 81 500 for one rug

was to become a millionaire in the
great Comstock speculations or go

Yerington, which may soon have
a population of 10000, is today a
brisk little agricultural village of
only four to five hundred. 1t is
the center of quite an extended
and valuable ranch and mine

three hotels, bank, a church, two
schools, two livery stables, three
big blacksmith and wagon shops

one in Lyon county. 1t is the

are of the more recent types-an-

But that wasn't the worst of it
their character was spoiled.
They were no longer fit to return
to remote and lonesome camps and
resume the hardships of an adven-
turous pioneer life. To be sepa-
rated from the gorgeous barrooms
of Virginia City, and the facina-
tons of the stock exchange seemed
more bitter than the grave.
They were spoiled-that calami-

of great promise in remote parts of
the State. They couldn't return
to them-they had no money, and
the splendid spirit of adventure
that had once sustained them and
enabled them to overcome and
conquer had died within their
breasts. Thus it happened that

law, blanket ten acre field with

1t is just 80 years since Presi-
dent Hayes, on the advice of the
Secretary of the Interior, Carl
Schurz, segregated this reserva-
ton from the public domain by
executive proclamation.
That was in 1876, when the
great Comstock bonanzas were at
their foodtide and were inundat-
ing the financial world with their
rivers of silver.
All the country was in a mining
fever. All Nevada and California
was in a mining delirium, frenzy.
What followed was what should
have been foreseen-paralysis.
1t always follows financial and
industrial fevers just as surely as
it always follows high and long
continued physical fevers.
Nevada's crippled and pitiable
condition during the last IS years
can be understood only by such as
have the scope of experience to
know that all fevers generate
paralysis.
The calamitous and miserable
history of Nevada from 1880 to
1904 was the progress of an inter
nal collapse from the heat and
nervous tension of high and pro-
longed fever and delirium.
Between 1876 and 1900 she lost
four-fifths of her population and
fell to the miserable condition of a
commonwealth larger in area than
New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey combined, struggling
to maintain the semblance of
government with less than 10000
inhabitants, counting children,
women and gamblers, scattered
over that vast, verdureless waste of
desert and mountain.
1t was paralysis-collapse.
If you can't understand. that you
can't understand Nevada-can't
comprehend why it is that most of
her new bonanza camps turn out
on investigation to be old camps,
rediscoveries-can't comprehend
why bonanza mines in remote sec
tons whose product was mostly or
entirely gold, were abandoned
when her silver mines had to be
abandoned.
1t was paralysis.
The people got discouraged and
razy-lonesome and wouldn't stay.
The Comstock bonanzas were a
calamity to Nevada. They pro-
duced the crazy fever and the
nervous strain that ruined her and
left her despoiled of the wealth
her mines had produced.

The Walker River range is near

room for thousands of prospectors

abruptly from the shore of Walker

again been cut by more recent
eruptives, lighter in color and
acidic in character, and to these
