FIDO'S IN The
COLD COLD CAN

Detective Ed Stauffer, head of
the Merchants Police, was intrust-
ed with a friends dog the other
day and the dog disappeared. Some
one called Stauffer up over the
telephone today and asked what
number was on the license tag
Stauffer didn't know and the man
said that he Just wanted to find
out because he had just a tag in
a can of beef"
Where, oh where, has his little dog
gone?
His hearts bowed down
And he's filled with grief,
For he very much fears that Fido
dear,
Is cooped in the can of the cold
corned beef!
Where, oh where, has the little dog
gone?
The bitter tears
Must fill his eyes
To think Of Fido's wagging tail
At the gate of a canine paradise.
Where, oh where, has the little dog
gone?
Pity the master

TELL EVERYBODY
ABOUT

The chamber of commerce is at
work on a suggestion made by DR..
Van Osdel of the First Baptist
church for advertising the Baptist
Young Peoples International con-
vention to be held in this city next
July. Now that the erection of the
armory has given assurance of an
adequate meeting place the Bap-
fists have gone to work in earnest
to get ready for the big event. The
plan proposed by Dr. Van Osdel
contemplates correspondence with
10000 Baptist churches both in
Canada and the United States, ask
ing space in local and church pub
locations for convention announce
ments. This work, it Is suggested,
can be done by committees from
the Baptist churches of Spokane,
but an expense of $4,000 will be in
volved and this matter was referred
to a committee from the chamber
of commerce.

Although the Spokane County
Referendum league is still in its
infancy as an organization 1t has
started a movement already felt
over the entire state and one that
promises to cut considerable figure
in the coming election regardless
of party lines. In addition to
spreading referendum and direct
primary Argument broadcast, the
league now proposes a movement
that, If carried through successful
", will put every candidate for the
state legislature this fall on record
by referendum advocates TO offer
the most certain and satisfactory
solution of political problems in
which all classes are interested.
<Here is a copy of the form of query
that will confront the ambitious
candidate and the league figures on
insisting that answers be returned.
1t is expected that the plan will
be generally adopted in other sec
tons of the state by the forces
lined up for the referendum:
Dear Sir: The Spokane County
Referendum league offers you the
following outline of what il be-
lieves to be the best plan for com
polling a clean cut statement of
policy from candidates for nomina-
ton and office. That such an under
standing is not unfairly expected
from the men who ask us to sup
port them in positions of trust and
responsibility, is self-evident. And
it is most necessary where mis-
government and extravaganza is
most directly felt by the laboring
people and smaller taxpayers gen
orally. And the final outcome is
nearly, If not all cases, graft.
The remedy is nothing less than
. change in the system. This
means the establishment of the peo-
pies sovereignty in place of the
ruling few, which can be accom-
plished most easily and quickly by
installing a system whereby the
voters may instruct by direct bal
lot. Leading up 70 questions on
these points, we desire to say:
The American system of govern
ment is founded on the proposition
that the people are the sovereign
power, who possess, therefore, the
acknowledged right to instruct their
legislative agents.
Such is the fundamental doctrine
and we ask you, sir
Question No. If elected to the

READY
FOR LABOR DAY

The railroad company is making great
preparations for the fight on Monday.
Ample accommodation has been made
at Goldfeld for stalling numbers of
Pullmans; there has been a large force
of men engaged in constructing extra
side-tracks. This will relieve the pres
sure on the hotels and rooming houses
and it is quite certain that everyone
will be able to find somewhere to sleep.
The company has fitted up large num-
bers of fiat cars for use as passenger
coaches by putting a rail around the
sides and installing fixed benches. The
Miners union has chartered a special
train and all members Of that body will
be able to make the trip at special re-
duced rates. The public in general will
enjoy the same privilege, as the rail-
road authorities have dacided to make
a cut in their rates for the occasion and
to put on many extra trains.

RICH ORE ON
The VALCALDA
A Tunnel on the Frank Vein Is
In SCI ROck---MiIl Will.
Start Soon

Fred L. Davis, a well known mining
engineer of Michigan, arrived in town
Tuesday, bringing news of a big strike
in the Silver Peak Valcalda Mining
company's property that amply con-
frmed the report Of the company's en-
gineer, Curtis l.. Knight. On hearing
the news, Mr.. Lynch, the president of
the company, went out to Silver Peak
to examine the strike for himself and
returned to Tonopah very well salts
fed. The Valcalda has been developed
by a number of tunnels on the Frank
vein and No. l crosscut in the main,
or No. 2 tunnel has disclosed a 10-foot
ledge of ore that averages $67 to the
ton. No. / tunnel is now in ITO feet
and is in v e six feet of $50 ore all the
way. The Valcalda is an enormous
property, there being several other
tunnels on this same vein (the Frank
at intervals of from so to 200 feet
apart, and all are in ore giving much
the same assays. The formation on
the property is a very promising one,
being a~laskite'and diorite, and the dip
and trend of the Valcalda veins are ex-
actly similar to those of the Pittsburg
Silver Peak company, which owns the
Blair and Drinkwater properties.
The management of the company has
a force of 80 men engaged in the con-
struction of a pipeline from Red Noun
tain, seven miles away, where ample
water for milling purposes has been
developed. The line will be finished by
September Goth. The lumber and the
greater part of the machinery for the
mill is already on the ground, and a
5-drill compressor will be installed al
once. Electricity will be the only
motive power used in the mill, and foul
motors-one of 100 h. p., two of 80 h,
p. and one of 20 h. p.-will be installed
at once. The mill will be as close as
possible to the mine and the ore from
the various tunnels will go straight t.
the crushers. Monday a number o.
carpenters left town for Silver Peak
where they will be employed in erect
ing several cottages for the employs
of the company and also Offices for tn
superintendent and manager and {

ENGINEER
LIKES MANHATTAN

Superintendent Luckett of the Rescue
Consolidated Mining Company, in an
interview with a BONANZA reporter on
Friday, stated that he was very much
impressed by Manhattan. He has only
recently returned from a short visit to
that camp and, while there, he exam
ined most of the leading properties and
come to very favorable conclusions about
them. 1.-THE Consolidated, said Mr..
Luckett, sis no longer a prospect. 1t
is a mine and a big one at that. They
are down ITO feet and have a 40-foot
breast of $35 ore. What more could
you want?" Continuing Mr.. Luckett
said that Manhattan was hardly a ship
ing camp and could not be one, until it
had railway facilities. at is a very
high-grade milling, however, said Mr..
Luckett, "and ! am confident that it
will make good. | was particularly
struck by the merits of Little Grey and
Union 8. While it is remembered that
the Union 9 is only one of many among
the Dexter properties, it will be seen
what an excellent buy Dexter is. On
Union 8 they have ore that exhaustive
assays show to go $24.75 to the ton.
There is an 11-foot ledge audit has been
traced for a long distance and at least
100, 900 tons of ore have been blocked
out. The Little Gray and the Union
can be regarded as proved mines. What
Manhattan needs most now is a mil
and the men who have promised her
one have unlimited capital at their
backs and are among the most resolute
and energetic hnstlers in the State OF
Nevada"
The opinion of such a man as Mr.
Luckett, who has few superiors if any
as a mining engineer, ought to go fal
to calm the doubts and fears of thos,
who, having invested money in Man
haitian, are Inclined to think that it
perhaps a false alarm. Mr. Lucket
summed up the situation pithily by oh
serving that if Manhattan did not.hav
goods, the earthquake would hav,
killed her deader than mutton"

BIG FIGHTER
GOOD TUMBLER
Roberts Makes an Attack but is
FeIIed to the Ground Like
unto an Ok

'eThere was something DOING last
Saturday afternoon between G. A.
Roberts the portly walking delegate"
of the 81. w. W." and William H.
Noting of the Western Federation of
Miners. The trouble was brought on
because of the fact that both men could
not see alike through the same labor
goggles. Roberts insisted that his'n
had the right focus while Noting was
as equally positive that they were as
far off as ''Job's off OK" or lsaiah's
''peep-stones." Hot words could not
suffice so the two men ''went to it,
fell upon each others necks and smote
each other woefully. Roberts made the
first smite which smote the air and
nothing more, as Noting parried; then
Noting thrice smote Roberts on the
eye, telling him to the ground likeunto
an OK. Noting in trying to "change
feet" got tangled up in his legs and
fell. Roberts who had by this time
changed shift or in other words,
shifted his attitude from a dead level
to a living perpendicular, used his
walking delegate feet and kicked
the PROSTATE man in the face. By
ISLANDERS say the big fellow (who has
been dong all the clicking" in Tono-
pah lately Saved his bacon" by this
"last kick" as he was then about on
his 'flast legs" Then the peace officer
came, saying: Come thou unto the
calaboose where there is peace" and
the peaceful march to the "jug" fol-
lowed. Notwithstanding the armistice,
Noting offered the officer a bonus to be
permitted to occupy the same cell with
the big fellow, so they could ''have it
out" in peace, but the officer refused.
1t is needless to say that both were
covered with gore and their eyes were
of many colors likeunto the rainbow,
while Roberts cheek was SO puffed that
it looked as if it had, like that of the
Dutch %inn-keeper in Knickbocker times,
taken toll of all that passed.
Noting had been in Jail but a few
minutes when he was promptly bailed
out by citizens. Roberts remained in
durance vile for some time before some
one came and ''stood'' for his appear
ance in court.
On Wednesday Noting had his hear
ing before Judge Brissell On the charge
of disturbing the peace. AS it was
clearly shown by a preponderance Of
evidence that Roberts provoked the
trouble, was the aggressor in the fight
that followed, and Noting was simply
acting in self-defense, Judge Brissel
promptly dismissed the defendant, stat
ing as he did SO that he lNolting) haC
only done what he (the judge would
have done had he been in the sam'
position.

CLARK A GOOD
ADVERTISER

H. K, Silversmith, associate editor of
the Arrowhead, the official paper of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad, and incidentally press agent of
the Clark system, is another of the
penny a liners immortalized by Dickens
who took Horace Greeley's advice and
came West, says a dispatch from Salt
Lake of the 18th ult. For eight years
Mr.. Silversmith was one of the writing
staff of the Pittsburg Leader. At the
present time Mr.. Silversmith is domi-
ciled with his wife at the Hotel Kenyon,
being detained here oy the washout on
the Salt Lake route between Moapa
and Caliente, which has caused the sus-
pension of both passenger and freight
traffic until Friday.
perhaps no one factor has done more
to develop the vast mineral resources
of Nevada than the San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railroad and its
tributary line from Las Vevas to the
great Bullfrog country, known as
the Las Vegas and Tonopah railroad, ;"
said Mr.. Silversmith. I'm addition to
this the Arrowhead, the official paper of
the system, is devoting columns to adver-
Using what is beyond adoubt the richest
m~ineralized country in the United States,
if not in the entire world.
"The Arrowhead will shortly issue a
mammoth mining edition, of which 100,
900 copies will be distributed in the
West, Middle West and East. The OBJ
ject of the publication is to induce peo-
pie to become interested in the great
Silver State, which has only received
a passing glance in the past, and has
been snubbed as the 'sagebrush state.
During the last six months a great in
terest has been awakened in what lies
beneath the sagebrush, and the vast
discoveries of gold and copper have
startled the world.
I'm order to gather data for the min
ing issue, | have personally visited thu
gold camps at Searchlight and Crescent
in the Bullfrog district, at Tonopah
Goldfeld and Manhattan, and at Ell.
and Fairview, besides spending som
time in the Greenwater country, whicl
is rich in copper. From rs to 80 page
of the mining issue will be devoted t
exploiting the gold and copper resource
of the Silver State
"To give you a partial idea of tn
magnitude of the mineral wealth, in tn
Bullfrog district alone there are Is
prospects, of which number it is per
fectly safe to say that 200 will develo,
into paying mines. At Tonopah an
Goldfed there is a sufficient number 0
properties to keep the country goin
for twenty yaars, the shipments aggrt
eating $3.50, 900 a week, which is $12
900, 900 a year. And when | make thes
statements the half has not been told.
