TICKET CHOPPER WITH A WIRE.
Subway Man Held on Larceny Charge
-COmpany's Heavy Losses.

Louis Lishnik Of 147 East 18th street, a
ticket chopper at the uptown subway sta
ton at Columbus Circle, was a prisoner
in the West Side police court yesterday
morning. Inspector W. Fl. kaufman OF
the marlborough company said that for
months the company has been aware that
tickets were being resold instead Of chopped
I'D. They knew in a general way, he said,
how the trick was being done, but hadn't
been able to catch the offender. A close
watch was kept on all stations and early
Yesterday morning, when few people were
around, he alleges he saw Lishnik, with
the aid of o wire, fish out a string Of five
tickets that had been deposited in the glass
box. Kuhlmsn bounced upon the chopper
and called a policeman. When Lishnik
was searched some forty detached tickets
were found on him.
sThey seem TO have you right" said
Magistrate Steinert to the prisoner.
Il wish you would hold this man." said
inspector Kuhlman. -Our company is
being repeatedly robbed in this way and
the amount involved soo becomes a large
one. We rave an idea that dishonest
choppers sell tickets they take while they
are acting as relief for the ticket agents.
This is one Of the frt cases We have got
with the goods"
The prisoner was held in $500 bail for
trial.

BASEBALL WILL
Open MARCH 80

Los ANGELES, Dec, 15.-The
Pacific Coast League magnates have
finished their annual meeting, and
after attending the Stockton-San
Jose game in a body and two auto
mobiles last week returned that night
separately and in cabs from the an
nual banquet, the out-of-town mem
bers will. adjourn to their homes.
The attention of the board was
given to the preparation of a sched-
lie for nex season. This schedule
will not be announced until some
time next March, but the opening
and closing dates of the year have
been announced. March 80 will be
the opening day, while, the last
games will be played October 81.
Los Angeles will open at home,
with Oakland and San Francisco will
be home to Portland. Fresno neces-
sarily will play the opening week
with Seattle.
Los Angeles will close at Seattle.
San Francisco and Oakland will of
course meet on the home diamond
for the final week. while Fresno will
entertain Portland.
In former years Los Angeles has
had just n half of the season at
home, but Senator Pendleton pre-
vailed upon the magnates to allow
Los Angeles seventeen weeks at
home and only thirteen weeks on the
road, and as Fresno probably will
play some at-home series in Los
Angeles we are sure of nearly con-
tinuous baseball.
From all indications next season
will be a good one. The $2400 sal
airy limit that has been fixed is high
enough to allow the paying of good
men, but it is also conservative
enough to allow Fresno and some of
the weaker clubs to remain in the
running.
Two other things which should
benefit the league are the curtail-
ment of annual passes and the ar
ranging of the regular ladies' day
and the placing of the Los Angeles,
Fresno and San Francisco clubs on
permanent grounds.
The Los Angeles club will open
again at Chutes Park, but under

COMPANY TO BUILD RESERVOIR
AT BISHOP AND ERECT AID
OPTIONAL POWER STATIONS.

Among all of the remarkable de-
velopments which have taken place
in Southern Nevada during the last
three years, 0 n have attracted
greater at ention and commendation
than the organization and develop
ment Of The Nevada Power, Mining
G Milling Company. Prior to the
month of October. two years ago,
many power enterprises had been
talked of, but no steps had been
taken in the direction of actual ae-
eomplishmcnt. Many had been call
ed, but none had been chosen.
The enterprise now known as The
Nevada Power. Mining & Milling
Company was first thought of in the
early part of October, 1905. Within
a few weeks thereafter, surveys had
been made, water rights secured and
perfected. the Company organized,
and sufficient funds for the small
plant originally contemplated sub
scribed for. The first contracts for
material were let in January, 1905,
and the fist electric power from the
Sierras delivered into Tonopah and
Goldield over 113 miles of trans
mission line on the goth day of Sep
TENDER, following.

WANTS ARIZONA TO
BE PART OF NEVADA

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-The
question Of Statehood for the South
western Territories is again begin
ming to attract attention in Congress.
Chairman Hamilton OF the House
committee on Territories is receiving
many letters, especially from New
Mexico, with suggestions about the
future handling of the problem; but
for himself he admits that he has no
plan in mind. He doubts if there
will be any revival of the Statehood
movement, so far as Congress is con-
cerned. till after the Presidential
election.
The delegates elected in New Mex
leo to attend the joint constitutional
convention that would have been
held but for Arizona's rejection of
the joint Statehood plan, will go
ahead and make a constitution for
New Mexico and petition Congress
to admit New Mexico alone as a
State. 1t turns out that there is con-
siderable support for this plan. One
suggestion that was discussed today
by a member of the House committee
was to let in New Mexico as a State
and let Arizona wait a few years,
and then make Arizona part of Ne
vada. They have the same sort of
population, and the Arizona argu-
ment against going with New Mexico
it is stated, would not hold as against
Nevada.

REVISION OF THE
Mining STATUTES

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Wilford
B. Hoggatt, Governor of Alaska, in
his annual report says that the COM
merce between Alaska and other
States and Territories has increased
in a year yer 2S per cent. He adj
vises the appointment OF a commits
sion to visit Alaska and make rec
concentrations for the revision of the
mining statutes. In this CONNECTION
he says:
owing to the peculiar nature of
the deposits OF gold in the Fairbanks
district and in the Nome district,
there have been many conflicts over
the ownership of very valuable min
ang claims, causing endless vexation
and trouble, and depriving rightful
owners OF the use of their property
for prolonged periods. In some in
stances there has been as much as a
million dollars of gold on the dump
awaiting months for a decision as to
the rightful ownership, and then per-
haps a year o rniore for an appeal.
In many instances these contests of
title have savored of blackmail. The
originatiors of suits knowing the
congested condition of the courts
have taken advantage of the fact to
tie up vas sums of money in the
hope of effecting compromise. If a
quick determination Of these suits
could be had there would undoubt-
eddy be fe wer of them, and as there
will be no need Of additional general
court officers for this additional
Judge the expense will be small"

COPPER.
A Correction As to the Sunset Group
of Copper Claims of That Rich
District.

Fred j. Bowman. secretary of the
Bowman-Smith Company, Inc, of
Tonopah, and Warrington, states that
the article in the Lyon County Times
and republished in the Daily Bonan-
"a, is incorrect insofar as concerns
the statement that a company is be-
ing organized to develop the Sunset
group of claims.
The property in question was pur-
chased by his company, as one of its
holdings, and development is now
inaugurated under the personal SUI
pervision of the company's manager,
f.. Saville-Smith, Il. M.
While it is the intention of the
Bowman-Smith Company to organize
on meritorious properties and offer
the stock to the public, the Sunset
group is to be retained by this COM
pany and operated as a closed cor
poration and it will not be stocked
or offered for sale.
The manager of the company, Mr..
Smith, was in Tonopah, a day or so
this week completing arrangements
for starting work on the Sunset
group, and speaks very enthusiastic
ally of Yerington, and considers it
to be one of the richest and greatest
copper camps in the world.
Messrs. Newhouse, Dern, Mac
Kane, and other big mining men of
the country are largely interested in
the new copper camp, and Mr.. Smith
is very much elated over the fact
that his company already has secur-
ed two Of the best groups of claims
in a district where there is so much
outside interest manifested.
