PATTERSON PRAISES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

Senator Patterson addressed the Senate
Of the United States Wednesday on the
Dominican and Moroccan questions, sus-
tanning the administration in its policy
or both subjects.
Speaking of the Dominican question he
said that it involved the Monroe doctrine
and that there was no occasion for divis-
ion on party lines on that question. He
said that he confessed to very friendly
feeling toward the President. due to the
record he had made as a statesman and
citizen and as the first magistrate of the
republic. Much. however, as he liked the
President. he felt impelled to differ with
aim on many questions. Regardless.
however, of these differences, he believed
the President to be honest and patriotic
in al things Not only had the President
doW much to annihilate sectional preJu-
dices, but he had done many things to
commend him to Democrats.
Il doubt he said impressively. ''whetn-
er If the Democratic party in 1904 we
would find him striving as earnestly. as
zealously and as fearlessly in sustaining
the rights of all the people against those
who unite to oppress the masses. as is
the present chief executive"
He also commended the President for
initiating the merger suit. and for his
position in support of the railroad legIs-
iation. which, he said, lis giving life 10
a Democratic principle
For three years" he added 'the Pres
ident had been carrying on a struggle
with the money power. the like of which
had not been known since the days Of
Andrew Jackson"
He believed the west to be behind the
President in his stand. and he added the
opinion that If the real sentiments of the
people OF the south could be ascer aIrsd
they would be found also to be favor
able to the President.

TRAIN
CONNECTION
The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company is Improving Its Ser.
vice in Many Ways

The Southern Pacific Company has re-
Gently installed ON it's line a system OF
communication known as the telegra-
phone, by means of which the conductors
and brakemen on all trains may talk
with an operator in a telegraph Office
along the line from any point ON the road
The system will be of great help in man
aging the trains and will also be useful
in calling assistance in case a train IS
wrecked far from station, where there
is no telegraph operator. The system has
been in use for several months on the
California roads, but has just been COM
pleted in Nevada and will be connected
with the local telegraph station of the
Southern Pacific late this week
In speakin gof the matter an operator
of the Southern Pacific said: 1.-The sys-
and will make it impossible for a wreck
to occur and for the train to be without
assistance for more than a few hours.
as word can be sent to the nearest sta
ton without any delay at all. The con-
ductor of every train will carry in his
caboose telephone connected to a long
ole carrying wpires attached to the phone.
and if a conductor of a train deems it
necessary to talk with telegraph opera
tor tany point on the line, he can throw
the hooks on the end of the pole over
the telegraph wire and Immediately a
bell will ring In every office that this
wire runs into. All operators will answer
the communication and the conductor can
notify any operator of any accident that
might have occurred to his train"

SAM" ALL RIGHT.

An item went the rounds of the press
couple of weeks ago. says thke Carson
News, to the effect that Governor" Sam
Longabaugh, the Ophir wood king. had
cashed in his checks with Father Time.
The fallacy of the statement was
proven when Sam alighted from tile ex-
press this morning clad in his usual LONG
coat and high boots. His first rer.&rx
was to challenge anybody in the crowd
to a foot race.
1.-The snow is powerful heavy at cainp.'

sentative. I'm all about twenty feet or

BIG MINING COMPANY
ORGANIZED AT RENO

Articles OF incororation of the Man
haitian Navajo Mining Company We're
filed the other day in the office OF the
County Clerk of Washoe county. The
company is Incorporated for N,5o0,00), OF
which s75Oo0o is subscribed. The names OF
the incorporators are Henry Anderson,
p. s. Jensen w. IL. Patterson, A. G.
Fletcher, C. A. Noroross. l., A. Blakes-
lee, M. Sheeline. s. III. Wheeler, II. Hum
phreys James Boyd. II. E. Reid and
company is to be in the Bank of Nevada
building. Reno.
Inquiry at the office of the company
developed the fact that the company is
organized to take over seven of the most
important mining claims in Manhattan,
including a valuable water right TO the
larges spring in the district, flowing about
four miners inches of water. The claims
are the Monte Christie, Rather, Good
Enough, Nevada King, Star, Souhie and
ew York These claims were located in
1903 when the original discoveries at
Manhattan were made, the locators being
Henry Anderson and the Jensen broth
ers. About $4,000 in development work
has been expended on the claims with the
result that large bodies of medium and
high grade ore have been uncovered.
Two shafts are down, one eighty feet
and another seventy feet, besides several
hundred feet of drifts and surface cuts.
Ore in quantity assaying as high as $500
per ton Is exposed in the workings. The
claims are located in the defined Man
haitian mineral belt, about two miles
from the town, and have always been
considered among ths best in the district.
They are traversed with large lodges and
can be worked to a depth of nearly 700
feet by means of tunnels
The spring was located several years
ago by Messrs Anderson and Jensen, who
developed 1t. and have since used for
watering their sheep and for domestic
purposes in the development of the
claims Their title to the spring is per-
ect, and as this Is to be included In the
holdings of the company, it affords the
company ample water for milling pur-
ber at Manhattan the ores of the claims
can be treated on the ground without
shipment.
The company proposes to put an addi-
once and open it sufficiently for the erec-
tion o IA mil lat the earliest moment pos

They are sanguine that they have one
of the greatest properties in the new Eel

TAKE GUNS HOME
General Crozier Makes a Ruling for
National Guard Officers.

Brigadier General William Crozier. chief
of ordnance of the United States war de-
partment, has made a ruling in the case of
Lieut.. Ira n. Bryan of the Paola COM
pany of the X. n. G., which will be of in
terest to officers of the guard General
Crozier says that officers must not keep
their army revoIvers at their own homes
unless they want to be responsible for
them
Lieut.. Bryan had his L S. revolver at
home about a year ago. when his house
was entered and robbed. The revolver
was among the things taken. Bryan made
and asked to be relieved of paying for
the lost shooting iron. Gen. Crozier says
1T is not considered that an officer 3
home is the proper place to store United
States property, unless it can be clearly
shown that the keeping of the revolver at
use by an officer of a revolver to protect
himself and family is not considered a
public purpose
