"UNCLE JOE" a -MAEVEL OF ENDURANCE
One of the wonderful things about this very
Industrious session is that the unusual work OF
the house was inspired and directed by a man 20
years of age. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon celebrated
his 10th birthday on the seventh day Of last May,
but he has been the great controlling spirit IN
the accomplishment of business in>Athe house.
While he has not been car as some of his dis
appointed opponents inclined to- charge, he
hasslooked into every bit Of Legislation that has
passed andShas consulted with al his committee
charm en- regarding the measures before them and
he has been appealed to- as the one man above all
ton. There is great power lodged in the hands of
the speaker by the rules of the house and it's

On Tuesday was commenced the work
of laying the Montezuma Water COM
pany's pipe line from Curtes springs at
Ida to Goldneld.
The problem Of supplying this rap
idly growing town with water is one
involved the expenditure of much
money. so far the question has been
handled by the several companies in the
field in a way which reflects credit upon
their efforts to deal with a difficult sit
uation. Goldheld has always had water.
It has not always been what might be
desired but 1t was the best that could
be had. 1t now seems that this troub-
ling point is to be finally laid. The
Montezuma Water company is a strong
corporation composed of enterprising
capitalists with hos. b. Hickey for
president. The company has been
working without respite for the past 10
months to improve the water system.
for the pipe was completed from Lid
into Goldfield some two months ago. The
steel pipe, however, in the selection of
which the company has exercised the
greatest care, did not arrive at the
time 1t was promised and considerable
delay has ensued. A man was sent
from Goldheld to Newburgh, New York,
where the pipe is being made to ex-
anime and insure the perfect condition
of zach length before 1t is loaded. The
pipe is arriving daily now n teams
are kept busy hauling it. Already is

the Whole Town Will Have
Pure Spring Water

the water will be allowed to follow up
as soon as zach length Is connected In
this way the entire line will be most eff
f~ectually tested in zach joint. The tanks
to be used as reservoirs at the Gold
field end have arrived and men from the
factory will begin setting them up
about the 10th of October at which time
II is figured the water will be in Cold
field.
Altogether the Montezuma Water
company will have invested no less than
$500. 600 in the project when completed.
Thos. B.. Hickey this week said to The
News:
I'VE are going to bring water enough
in here to supply the town and we are
not considering the cost The springs
will develop more IA 100000 gallons
daily and the tests made have shown
the water to be absolutely pure noun
tain spring water. A test was made re-
Gently by a noted chemist of Denver who
as a result pronounced the water more
pure than Denvers own pure water. MIR.
Hickey also stated that the Montezuma
Water owns the Nevada Water
company which Is supplied by the High
land Mining ompany wells near Dia-
mondfeld, also the Goldheld Water COM
pany deriving its supply from Rabbits
springs. All persons taking the water
of either of these companies will re-
ceive the benefit of the new supply. The

SELECTING SITE FOE
THE NEW szELrER

Malcolm L. Macdonald, managing
director of the Nevada Smelling and
Mines Corporation, accompanied by
General Manager E. J. Collins, L. A.
Parkhurst and Edwin H. Brewster, left
this morning for the Kawich range on a
tour of inspection of the various prop
critics of the company in that section
of the state. The party will visit Gold
reed, Reveille, Bellehelen, Clifford,
Golden Arrow and Eden, in all of which
camps the company owns promising
claims, several of which are already
recently ordered for Goldreed. Reveille
and Bellehelen are expected within a
few days. and it is probable that the
party will not return to Tonopah until
the machinery is installed. Mr.. Mac
donald states that it is the intention OF
his company to begin work on the con-
struction of its smelling plant in the
heal future, and one object of the pres
ent visit to the Kawich range is to Sc
lect a site for the smelter. AS hereto
fore stated, the big reduction works will
probably be built at a point about mid
way between Reveille and Bellehelen,
which is the most central point.
Mr.. Macdonald announced yesterday
that his corporation has purchased con-
troll of the Golden Silver Peak group of
claims, situated about fifteen miles
southwest of Silver Peak. This group
consists of twenty-one claims lying in
a district which is described as one of
the most highly mineralized sections of
the state. The officials of the Smelter
and Mines Corporation are now perfect
ing plans for the development of the
property. In speaking of the newly
acquired property yesterday, Mr.. Mac
donald said: I'VE will ship the high
grade lead ore from the mine that has
been piled on the dump during the pro-
gress of development work, as soon as
the Silver Peak railroad is completed,
which will be in a comparatively shor
time. Mr.. Collins and l will go out to
the property soon to look over the whole
group, and until that is done 1t will be
impossible to give you any idea of our
plans for development or machinery,
as we do not know ourselves. You can
say, however, that we will carry on
work on the new group with the same
rush that we are putting into the other
holdings of the Shelter and Mines Cor
poration "-Tonopah Miner.

WEALTHY CnIPPEWAS
Each Man, Woman and Child
Owns $3,46o Worth of
Land or Pine

Forty years ago, next April, Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson, by executive
proclamation, set aside the White
Earth reservation as a home for the
Mississippi bands of Chippewa Indi-
ans. scicns and descendants Of the
once royal Algonquirs of America.
Ine original reservation comprised
thirty-s townships of timber and
prairie land. In 1889 the Indians
ceded to the government. among
other lands, four of the townships
along the northeastern boundary, so
tnat the present reservation contains
Only thirty-two townships.
From the time that the last camp
fire was extinguishe1 and the last
Chippewa had turned his back on
the scenes of their old haunts, near
Grow Wing, and turned reluctant
steps towards the new ho1ue, White
Earth, their history is replete with
struggles and triumphs, forming
brilliant chapter of gradual ascendan-
cv from primitive state to the goal
cf higher civilization.
Schools and churches have accom-
plished wonders for these ones war
like and untutored sons of nature, and
today the Chippswas of ths White
Earth reservation are, without doubt,
the wealrhiest people, per CAPITAL in
the state. Their home is in the very
heart of the '.gar1ens pot of the
north star state Numerous lakes,
rivers and springs furnish an exhaust
less supply of healthful water, and
copses and groves dot its fertile prai-
rlee. Careful estimates place the
wealth of the Chippewas az follows:
797, $50 acres Of land, valued at IS
an acre, $5, 1913, 240: 700, O0O, 600 feet
of pine timber, valued at $40 a thou
sand feet, 81, 600, 600; 300. 600, 600 feet
of oak and other timber. valued at
$40 thousand feet, &3, 000, 900; I'M
provement and etock valued at $500,
600; making total value of SIG, $685.,
24O.
Dividing the figures above given
among a population Of 4,625 gives q
per capita of about s., 480.
Beside this handsome individual
heritage three is deposited in the
United States treasury q large sum
of money, accruing from the sales of
land and timber, and which will, in
all probability, swell this princely
fund to between $15, 600, 600 and $780,
600, COO in addition to the amount
above noted, so that it is reasonably
safe to base the per capita Of every
man. woman and child on the White
Earth reservation at $5 QUO each.-

MILE Laos RAILROAD
Great Excitement in Lake
Region Over Prospects
for the 500

Mile Lacs Pioneer: This section
of country has not teen so stirred for
many years over the prospect of secur-
irg railrt ad as at the present time,
and never have the prospects for re-
alization Ct the peoples hopes in this
direction seemed mere assured. The
past week has been one continual buzz
of railroad talk and excitement.
Six crews Of SEQ line surveyors are
reported to be in the field running
three distinct lines at one and the
same time between Glenwood, a di.
vision point on the mainline of the
SEQ railroad, ard the head of the
Great Lakes. Three crews are re-
ported to have started work at Bar
num, near Duluth, on Wednesday,
Dec. 18th. ard ave working southwest
ward to the south shore of Mile Lacs,
where they expect to meet three other
crews which are said to be working
northeastward from Glenwcod and
who are reported to have passed
through Royaltrn on the Mississippi
river. on Monday, Dec. 10th. When
the lines are run, the most favorable
ore Of the three will. according to
report, be chosen, and the work Of
clearing the right Of way and grading
will be pust ed with all possible speed
go as to have the road in operation
in tine for handling the 1907 north
western grain crop, as it is claimed
that there is a row on between the
SEQ Go. and the Hill lines and that
the latter have refused to renew leases
for the handling of $500 cars, ETC.
This condition of affairs, it true
places tho 500 people in the position
of being compelled to build line of
their own to gain an outlet to the
head Of the lakes, which they must
have in order to successfully compete
in the carrying of grain and other
commodities in their territory.
J. E. Clancy, representing the
Marshall H. Coolidge Co., OF Min
neapolis, Minn., is here this week
end is contracting with farmers and
others for the purchase of large guam
titles of oak. pine and tamarack ties,
to he delivered on the right of way
of the prospective railroad. M.
Clancy stated to the Pioneer editor
that his firm does the largest business
of any railr:ad supply house in the
country. In it's line. which Is the fur
nishing Of ties, telegraph poles, pil
ing, etc., and that he had been or
dered here on short notice by his firm
with instructions to await the arrival
Of the surveying parties and to con-
tract for the purchase Of ties as above
stated. Upoa- being asked if he
thought that railroad was really to
be built to Mile Lacs lake. he merely
smiled and remarked that he did not
assume to know anything of the plans
of the 500 or other railway compa-
MES. but that his firm were not in the
habit Of paying high price for ties
to be delivered at scattering points IN
| the woods, 80 or 40 miles from a rail-
road, unless they expected a demand
for them there.
The people in the Mile Lacs lake
section are naturally very much elated
over the favorable prospect for an
actual bailding Of the. long hoped fol
railroad. Excitement runs high and
lots, blocks and acres on the south
shore of Mile Lacs are in strong de.
mand.
