HE WAS A

An Alleged Eastern Banker
Buncoes Goldfield Sports
And Saloonmen.

Several gambling men of Goldfeld
claim that they have been buncoed by
an alleged Philadelphia banker named
Mears, to the tune of SOS, 900. He was
in Goldfeld about four weeks and from
the first day of his arrival he carried
out the impression that he was a
banker, in such a smooth manner that
his victims were easily taken in. He
gambled heavily and after cleaning up
nearly $1,000, left for San Francisco,
ostensibly to visit his family. He was
gone but a few days and upon his re-
turn again tackled the roulette game.
But luck did not favor him as before.
He lost heavily, that is l. 0. u. notes.

wheel man holds one for SO, 900, the
Merchants one for $11, 900, Ole Elliott
of the Northern, one for $500 and
Larry Sullivan Of the Palace, one for
$500, a cash loan. Mears disappeared
several days ago and the wires between
Goldfeld and Philadelphia, have been
kept hot ever since, but no trace Of the
gay young man, who rolled 'em high
has been obtained.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
CIRCULATION in TONOPAH

A resolution was introduced ia the
United States Senate last Wednes-
day requesting the resignation of
United States Senator Depew. His
many friends in the Senate refused
to listen to the reading OF the bonn
bastic effort and the resolution was
laid on the table with but little cere-
mony. That Senator Depew has
been connected with several corpora
tions and has been interested in many
OF the big commercial enterprises
Of the United States for many years,
is no reason why he should be consid-
cred u thief. Honesty OF purpose
is always to be commended and
the fact that Senator Depew has en-
joyed the good will and esteem of the
people OF the United States for over
quarter of q century is sufficient
guarantee that he is a square, honest

time several land grabbers who have
defrauded this government are about

United States Senate should be at.
tackled. People of common sense and
al should realize that the social.
lists are putting in an entering wedge
and are using the present insurance
graft business as a basis for future
campaign literature and argument.
That Uncle Sam has been swindlec
and swindled badly out Of rich LAND
holdings cannot be gainsaid, but tina
is no reason why the president and
the congress Of our great-in fact the
greatest nation on the face OF the
g~lobe-should be attacked and ac-
cused OF erookedness. Let good.
square, honest Americans realize
that from the evidence adduced, but
that is no reason why the president
and every member Of congress should
have charges filed against them,
from picking up a hair pin to taking
with malice aforethought the capitol
Of the United States. Anarchists
are making capital over these
charges and in all probability insti
gated them. Senators Burton and
Mitchell were convicted and should
have been.

In his annual report. just made
public, First Assistant Postmaster.
General Hitchcock says that the low
salaries paid clerks of the first and
second class offices is decreasing the
standard OF efficiency. 1t is impos.
sible to induce efficient men to enter
this branch OF the service when the
salary is only 5000 a year to begin
with. General Hitchcock certainly
states facts, and facts based on good
common sense The service in Tono-
pah, for instance, is abomnable. The
wages are ridiculously low, and good
competent men will not accept posi-
tions there under present conditions.

OVERLOOK HAS OPTION 0N
 TIMBER
It Is Now Up to Bisbee and Douglas Capitalists to
 Put Up Money.

One of the largest and most i'm portant industrial deals that has been rending in this section for some time past, at last stands in such shape that 1t nay fall into the hands of Cochise ccUnty capitalists and rebound to the lasting benefit of this entire section of Arizona
 Charles A. Overlook, Douglas mer- chant and Republican central com mitteeman, who came up from the Shelter City yesterday to attend the political deliberations of the men of his party. carried in his inside coat pocket one of the most valuable op- tioLs that it has probably been his good fortune 10 possess. To be brief, Charley Overlook has the option on the Sierra Madre timber lands, men, toned in these columns some weeks ago. The option gives to Overlook and his associates sixty days from August 1 in which they may raise sufficient cash to take over -151, 900 acres of what is considered to be the most valuable timber land in north ern Sonora.
 If what Overlook gave out yester-  day to a Review man is true. and re- ports coming from the property under option can be relied upon, some one is going to be in on a snap in timber land. Overlook Is authority for the statement that his option calls for 157 .000 acres of land at SIPS per acre, making the total cost of the land $l96,- 250 This is far short of the figures given out by Bishop O. P. Brown, through whom the deal was negotiat- ed. Brown has maintained that 1t would take a cool million to handle his deal and from reports of the prop erty, it might even seem advantage ous to be in on it at that figure.
 Should Overlook succeed in coDsupl- mating the financial end of the deal in the time allotted him, BisDee capital will in all probability play a leading part in the organization of the con- pany.
 Associated with Charles Overlook in the preliminary negotiations for the property mentioned have been his brother. l.. C. Overlook, l.. c. Shat tuck and Joseph Mumeim. Ail of these gentlemen are well known for their high rating in the local financial

world and there is little doubt of their ability to raise the required capital should they decide that they wish to take over the property.
 Incidental to the promotion of such company are a few details that would necessarily follow and which would be of inestimable benefit to this section at large, and the city of Doug las in particular Among the plans of the Overlook crowd is the building Of railroad from the mountains to point on the line near Douglas and the making of Douglas a lumber mill ing town, in addition to its present shelter enterprises.
 The consequent reduction in the cost of lumber for building purposes would naturally follow, giving to pros pective builders of homes a new in- centive to build upon property now permitted to remain in idleness.
 MT. Overlook returned to his home in Douglas last evening and took oc- casion before his departure to remark to friend that itwas among the i'm. possibilities that the deal should fall through at this late day.

Contractors Who Have Charge of New Postoffice Site
 Are Delayed.

Uncle Sam will not be able to move into his new post office quarters on the date originally set for the remov- al from the present quarters in the Jake Schmidt building. The new h- brary building can not be completed by September 1, the date originally set upon which the Copper Queen library would be completed, and the date upon which the quarterly rental for the present site of the postoffice falls due.
 There has been a misapprehension as to how the terms of the agreement between Schmidt and the postoffice department would opeSlte upon the. ex- piration of the rental term. many be- ing of the impression that Schmidt could either refuse the government the further use of his premises, or place an exorbitant rental upon the proper ty. If any such intention ever exist ed on the part of Schmidt, it has been nuilified by further agreement be- tween him and the Copper Queen Co. by which the latter will pay the rental of the postoftice room from September l till the time the new quarters in the library building are in readiness for removal.
 In the first place, Schmidt, in spite of persistent rumor to the contrary, could not under any circumstances, take any action that might result in the obstruction of the mails. Laws provide against any such contingency
 Secondly, Schmidt denies ever hay ing had any intention of making the least move that would embarass the local postoffice. Mir. Schmidt stated yesterday that as soon as it was ap' parent that the library building quar- ters could not be put in readiness for the new tenants, the Copper Queen Mining Co, through General Manager Walter Douglas proposed to as, sume the payment of the rents in the Schmidt building, and, that arrange ment proved satisfactory to MT Schmidt.
 It is well nigh impossible to say al this time just when the library build #ing will be ready for the installation of the new postoffice fixtures, there 4aying been some delay in the delfv $ry of the building material The fix lures have been ordered, however, and will no doubt be on the ground before the building Is ready for them.

He said that he was not aware that the city had clock, but if it had he wanted to get his moneys worth. Some one answered that the clock in the cupola of the Pythian Gas tie was the "city clock" but did not show any quit-claim deed from the owners of the Pythian Castle to the city, so the bill was disallcwed.
