BAR ASSOCIATION TO
ENTERTAIN THE COURT

At a meeting of the Goldfeld Bar
association, held in the office of George
D. Pyne, Tuesday evening, it was de-
cided to give Judge Murphy a recep-
ton and banquet on the occasion of
his visit here next week. Judge Muir
ply is to be in the city for several days
upon legal matters and the members of
the Goldfeld bar propose to make the
occasion of his visit a happy one. A
committee consisting of George d.
Pyne, j. F. Douglass and j. G.. Thomp-
son was appointed to make arrange
ments for the banquet which will be
given at the Palm restaurant some
evening during the judges visit. He
will also be shown through the mines
of the camp and everything possible
will be done to make him remember
Goldfeld and his colleagues in the pro-
fession, in a most cordial light.
The bar association also appointed
George d. Pyne and Judge R. G.
Withers as pail bearers to represent
the bar at the funeral of the late Judge
Cole, Thursday afternoon. Resolutions
of coincidence and respect were also
passed by the bar and spread upon the
minutes.

r,ou RATES RESPONSIBLE +,
FOR LIGHT OUTPUT

writing of the gold harvest of the
,Yn;ted States for the last year which
.hous that Nevada increased her prod
ue.;on only 100000, William E. Curtis,
.,.cial writer for the Chicago Record
Herald, says:
ssThe returns from Nevada are a lis
announcement. The returns from the
new camp in that state are not up to
cancellations, but various explanations
ora given. Mr.. Chapman, a mineralo-
g;st of the geological survey, who has
been spending several months in that
district. confirms the newspaper re-
ports that a large quantity of rich ore
has been produced there and is r.w
stored in warehouses and abandoned
shafts because of litigation and high
freights. The advent of the railroad
has not relieved the transportation
situation to any great extent. The rril.
wa charge is SIS a ton for hating
ore twenty-eight miles Over the new
tracks, anu tue iatc W p"H
l. $50 a ton, a decrease Of only SD a
ron fr5m hat which prevailed before
the railway was finished. Very little
ore car afford to pay such CHARGES, AM
tbe only alternative is for the mine
owners to erect their own shelters at
Goldfeld or Tonopah, which they are
proposing to do. Mr.. Chapman also
saws that millions of dollars worth of
ore is tied up by injunctions. As is
usual, nearly every profitable mine has
been attacked by claimants or rivals
and is involved in litigation. Such an
endemic always occurs in every sue
eessful mining camp, and work is either
entirely suspended or the output is
held from the market until the suits
are decided. Mr.. Chapman describes
one abandoned shaft which is now en-
tirelv filed with rich ore in bags and
protected by iron gratings riveted to
the rocks so that it cannot be disturbed
until the rival claims for ownership are
settled. These, he says, are the reasons
why Nevada does not show up better
in the statistics of the gold output for
1905.

BIG CHANGE IN CAMP

E. Everett, one of the early settlers
in Goldfeld returned to the camp this
week from Berkeley where he has been
for the past nine months for the bene-
fit of his health.
"Some marvellous changes have
taken place in Goldfeld since 1 left
here" said MI. Everett. "The prop
critics that were at the time / left
Goldield mere prospects, a number of
them, have become producing mines.
The Red Top is the best illustration of
this condition. When I left the stock
was selling around Is cents and today
it is one of the greatest mines of a
great district. Many other properties
have passed from the early develop
ment of prospects to the estate of
producers. If progress has been made
with the mines, it is usually true that
marked and notable improvements
have been made in the city of Gold
field. Everything is on a more sub
~stantial basis, substantial buildings
have replaced tents and fiimsy struc-
lures, indeed the change has almost
been magic like"

GOLD NUGGETS FLOW
THROUGH WATER FAUCETS

W~innemucca, Jan. 26.-Though it has
long been known that gold is plentiful
in Humboldt county, it has not been
definitely known that nuggets flow
through the water pipes until today,
when word was brought from Spring
Valley to this effect. Mrs. Slater, Il
young woman who went to that place a
few weeks ago to teach school, turned
on the water faucet yesterday morning
when a bright gold nugget rolled out.
Several bright particles of fine gold
also accompanied it. 1t is believed the
metal came from rich placer ground
located close to the water supply.

THE CALL. OF THE DESERT

"AAttCn III
To the men of the desert; but more
especially those miners who have
grown gray while waiting for these
dreams to come true, 1 dedicate this
little story that 1 found in that :and
where I, too, dreamed dreams.
For all the toll the desert takes of a
man it gives it's compensation in deep
breaths, deep sleep, and communion
with stars. 1t comes upon one with
new force in the pauses of the night
that the Chaldeans were a desert bred
people.
1t is hard to escape the sense of
mastery as the stars move in the wide
clear heavens to risings and settings
unobscured. They look large, and
near, and palpitate, as if they moved
on some stately mission in the service
of the master of the universe. Wheel
ing to their stations in the sky, they
make the poor w~orld-fret of no ac-
count. OF no account you who lie out
there watching, nor the lean coyote
that stands off in the scrub from you
and bowls and bowls. And she who
wrote this little story knows. She
speaks from the heart that under
stands. because it voices the language
of love for the vast, gray silent mys.
terry that means so little to those who
fit by in a day and night of car travel,
and then talk about chow lovely" the
desert is, and how cit appeals" to
them.
And to those / would say that the
real desert, and all its grave meaning,
is farther away from them than it is
from those who say nothing except
that they do not know the desert, and
do not care anything about it.
The desert does not need such lovers.
It's voice will never speak to those
who call it either "artistic" or crest
full yet there are many such-good
folks, too; but they are those who use,
for the decorations Of their "cosy
covers" Indian baskets and Indian
blankets that they buy at the stores
and most Of them made by white men
or women The Indian, his work and
wares-have been the fashion for a
little day among those who set the
styles for the ornamentation or dis
igurement of our houses; but l fear
me his devotees (those who are devoted
to him in this special way) are feeling
that he is getting to be just a little bit
just a trife passe, and they are al
ready beginning to look about for an
other to take his place.
There is just the shadow Of a sign
that they will choose the desert. Sup
pose it should be7 We who reverence
and love the grey land, can only hope.
with a hope that is half a prayer, that
they will pass it by. Yet If this
thing should happen! What could we

The desert and it's lovers are helpless
against vandals.

the silence the voice of God speaking.
Then you will come to know that 10
better thing is in the world for man
than just this-the ~close-touching If
great things; the undesire of the small,
such as the man-crowded places give
you; and just enough food and clothes
and shelter to support life, and enough
work to fill ones days. Now, all this
belongs to the old men of the desert
the prospectors who have made the
desert their own.
So you do not know, neither do /
dare say, how much of the joy of life
these old prospectors find in following
the mirage of a mine that leads them
away to life's end with empty palms,
till at last they lie down in their
alkali wastes to be one with the great
silence of the plains.
If it gives them much of joy to deny
themselves all that you would deem
vital, as they live out the Measure of
their days, dare you give them of your
masked pityf l am sure they know
more of the joy of life than we VINO
rub elbows in crowded cities, and to

through years of closet intimacy, have
has for them something that is greater
than gold, more lasting than beauty,
yet to which no man can give a name.
Speech is not needed, for those who
are elect to love these things under
stand one another without words and
the desert speaks to them through its
silence.
To others-those who need words
and want people in numbers-the
desert is but a gray waste of sands and
sagebrush, lying in pitiful loneliness
under a gray sky.
Utter desolation! Today is like yes
terday-tomorrow will be like today.
The sun rises each morning upon a
scene which never alters, except when
a change is wrought by the mirage in
it's elusive mystery, and at the end of
the day, by the drifting blue smoke
from the sagebrush campfre-where he
has boiled the coffee that you are
obliged to declare the best that was
ever brewed-with the desert weird
ness creeping up to you with the dusk,
while you eat of the strip of bacon
your host has cooked and the bread he
has baked in the ashes, you will gladly
and greedily listen to the story again.
And then-when you hear hin tell it
in the way he told it to me-you will
believe it true. The charm of the
desert will be all about you; the mys-
terry of the desert will move you in
ways that you have never known.
How can one convey meaning to an
other in a language which that other
does not understand? l can only tell
you the charm of the desert, when yoa,
too, have learned to love it. And then
there will be no need for me to speak.
but this mach | may say that you will
understand.
In the desert all things seem posi-
BILE. If you ask me "why?' then
cannot tell you; only 1 know it is so.
Perhaps that accounts for the faith
of the old prospectors.
