BURkE's LOGIC.

Governor Burke is quoted in his
Valley City speech as saying that law
yers We're better fitted than any other
class OF people TO hold public trusts
because of the special training as
such. The report further says:
That this training of lawyers meant
something. the speaker pointed out
the fact that lawyers We're constantly
handling large sums OF money which
did not belong TO them and were never
placed under bond. County officials
and other men who handled large
sums OF money. We're placed under
bond but the lawyers OF Barnes coun-
ty handled as much or more money
than the court officials and We're NOT
bonded.
But Governor Burke in his en-
thusiasm seems to have overlooked a
couple OF provisions OF the North
Dakota statute which 10 some extent
account for the lack OF bonds for at
torneys. Section 7464 OF the code OF
1899 reads as follows.
If any person being q trustee,
banker, merchant, broker. attorney,
agent. assignee in trust, receiver, eN-
ecutor. administrator or collector, or
being otherwise entrusted with or
having in his control property for the
use of any other person. or for any
public or benevolent purpose, fraudu-
lently appropriates it TO any use or
purpose not in the due and lawful en-
ecution of his trust. or secretes it with
a fraudulent intent to appropriate it
to such use or pull pose, he is guilty
of ENLIGHTENMENT.
According to sections 7472 and 7449
of the same code, the punishment for
this crime is confinement from one to
five years in the penitentiary. 1t
therefore seems that there are other
things as effective as bonds. No, law
yers are not bonded. There are other
ways of keeping them in check. Gov
ernor Burke should not forget these
things when he is throwing bouquets
at himself.

business has unquestionably expanded
temporarily beyond the capacity of
the railroads to handle it. The labor
market testifies to the great activity in
the industrial world. Labor is ex-
ceedingly scarce and wages have
risen and are still rising. All the
money of the country is busy in the
manifold occupations of American
trade and commerce. The supply is
unequal to the demand Money is
scarce and interest rates are high. It
is time or tremendous expansion,
both industrial and speculative. There
Is overwork in railroad traffic, but
it is large conception that some
thing like the same condition exists
everywhere throughout the country's
industries. 1t is an interesting the
ory that the whole nation is over
working. that it is too busy, but it is
a difficult one. Even in the railroad
business the present shortage of men
is perhaps only temporary. When the
holiday shipments are over conditions
may again be normal and no man do
ing two mems work.

TRAVELLING MANS CHRISTMAS.

Usually the lot of the travelling man
is the envy of every one except those
who have experienced some of the I'M
pleasantries of his life. To see him
as he sits in the hotel lobby at the
close of the day and regales his friends
with the stories which if reduced to
print would put to shame some of the
writer's of humorous selections which
have made them immortal, it would
be supposed by the uninitiated that
life for the travelling man were in
deed one grand sweet song. But to
see him in the middle of the night
rushing through twenty below zero
weather to catch a belated train, and
few hours later to see him Juggling
his heavy grips down the moonlit
street of some inland town to find a
sleepy landlord awaiting to show him
to room in which the mercury has
entered contest with its outside
brother and is making a fair start to
win, where he may possibly catch
few hours sleep and then meet an out
of humor customer with a smile that
will win, is altogether another ques-
ton.
But the travelling man at Christmas
time is indeed an object of interest.
1t is that interest too which comes
from the unknown link which binds
all humanity together whenever there
is in one of its members that which ap-
peals to the human side Of life. The
travelling man homeward bound at
Christmas time is the. personification
of happiness. He may have been on
the road for months, away from home
and the ones which make that home
He may have spent his life in the
furry and buster Of hotel life, and
even drowned the home longing in
the long evening by regaling his
neighbors and friends with the stories
which have caused his life to be the
envy of the man out for day on
business.
But how he longs to exchange the
rush of his life for the quiet of his
own freside and the jollity of his
fellowmen for the cosby nothings
of the home folks! He pictures the
wife and the babies whose letters
have cheered him In many a long wait
for the train and have made possible
rest and happiness in some of the
excuses for hotels. At Christmas he
will be at home. and for few days
he will forget the rushing of trains

A STRONG COMMISSION.

The three men who have been selee-

the provisions OF the new railroad com
mission law are citizens who can be de-
pended upon. John W. Redmond Of
Newport, Eli II. Porter Of Wilmington
and S. Hollster Jackson Of Barre are
men who can fully realize the obliga-

position: and in serving the state in
this capacity they moreover will not
need the warning of recent revelations
to keep in the path Of moral rectitude.
They win hold their oath sacred not
so much from the sense Of policy but
from a desire to do what is right.
Each one is recognized to be upright and
honst. They are, furthermore, capable
men. Two Of them, Aessrs. Redmond
and Jackson stand high in the legal pro-
fession. while IN the business world the
third, Mr. Porter, il equally well placed

and capacity to undertake the import

The shaft on the Nevada Leasing COM
pany's block of ground on the Florence
property has reached a depth of zoo feet.
where a crosscut has been started east
to tap the ledge which is supposed to
run through the block. A great deal of
quartz is in evidence, and it is believed
that the ledge will be cut in a short
time. In conversation with one of the
miners, who is working for the Nevada
Leasing company, and who was form
erly employed or the famous Reilly
lease, it was learned that conditions in
the crosscut at the 200-foot level are
identical with those of the Reilly before
the big pay shoot was encountered. 1t
is believed that when the ledge is cut
another sensational strike will be re-
corded. The crosscut at the 150-foot
level is being rushed Good Indications
are also being had at this point.

BULLFROG WEST EXTENSION
MAKES A GOOD SHOWING

Splendid specimens Of ore as large as
a peck measure are being shown at the
office of Thomas S. Robinson & Co,
brokers of his city. which were lately
received from Bullfrog. The ore came
from the new strike in the Bullfrog
West Extension. This property adjoins
the Original Bullfrog on the west. and
the ore exhibited resembles the Orig
inal Bullfrog in every respect. 1t car
ries copper carbonate, sulphide of silver.
and free gold. and is literally covered
with bromide stains. The shaft on this
property is sunk so feet where the Orig
nal Bullfrog ledge is encountered. A
crosscut is run from this point north
west 20 feet, and the crosscut is in ore
all the way, running from $40 to $12
per ton. with here and there a streak
running much higher. There are sew
eral streaks of milling ore from 8 to 5
feet wide that run upwards of t25. and
there are 10 tons of shipping ore on the
dump taken from this crosscut. Prin-
cipal owner of the property are Thomas
Robinson, G. S Johnson. b. f. Sheppard,

Sara c. Rudra. mining engineer OF
note, a native Of India, whose mining
operations and professional engage
ments have taken him into every mining
country in the world, is in Goldfeld as
the consulting engineer of the United
Tonopah and Goldheld Mining company.
and of the Central Tonopah and Gold
field company. Mr.. Rudra also is con-
sulting engineer of the Manhattan Me-
vada Gold Mining company.
The special object of Mr.. Rudra's
visit to Goldfeld is to look over the
properties belonging to the interests he
represents, and to lay out a plan for
extensive development. On the Freedom
claim he has already ordered a new
shaft started in addition to the old one.
which is down about so feet. The new
shaft will be sun to the depth of ESQ
feet before any drifting will be done.
Six men will be employed. The shaft
was started on Wednesday,. A plant of
machinery will be installed as soon as
the shaft is ready for it, Work will
soon be started in a vigorous way on

TO POOR SERVICE
OF THE WESTERN UNION

Ever since Goldheld became an i'm
portant mining stock market there has
beer cause for bitter complaint because
Of insufficient service of the Western
Union Telegraph company. The general
dissatisfaction expressed itself in a
meeting of brokers last night at the Of
fices of Thomas S. Robinson a. Co. 1t
was the unanimous decision OF those
present that better service must be had
and to forward that purpose a commit
tee was appointed to take the matter UP
with the Western Union company.
Webb Parkinson, a member OF the
committee upon which Tomas s. Robin
son. w. ]. Brewer, G.. s. Johnson and J..
c. Mccormack will also serve. said:
THE present poor service is a detriment
to every interest of the camp. IT is an
established fact that a message can be
sent from ticker to, ticker between San
Francisco and New York and an answer
returned in three minutes. Our wires
from Goldfeld seldom reach New York
under six or eight hours from time of
transmission, and we are lucky indeed
IL we can have a reply inside Of "a hours.
The Postal Telegraph company have
agreed to install a line into camp IL we
can insure them 81 500 per month. This
we can do very readily If they in turn
will guarantee a 45-minute communica-
tion with New York. A letter is being
drafted to Superintendent Lamb of the
Western Union and II the company can
not improve matters we will make a
change. The local once is doing its best
and we are grateful for its efforts but it
can do little under the present system"
At the eompany's local Office 1T is
stated that Goldfeld is probably one Of
the best paying offices in the country.
During the month of March it's receipts
were $4,000 and April returned Sill 500.
This is said to be unusually good but
the business for the year will average
more than $4,000 per month.
1t is said at the office that Superin-
tendent Lamb of San Francisco is doing
his best but is badly handicapped by the
present facilities. Between here and
Oakland the equipment is sufficient to
handle twice the BUSINESS now being
done. The longest average delay for
any day is said to be not in excess of
ten minutes.
This lack of prompt telegraph service
more than anything else, is what pre-
vents Goldfeld from becoming the chief
mining stock mart for Nevada secur-
tiles. New York will not trade with
Goldield because of this handicap, but
trades with San Francisco
which places the service is prompt. 1t
only takes minutes between those
points. whereas 1t takes hours between
Goldfeld and New York and 1t is almost
impossible to execute orders on either
exchange the same day the order Is
filed and transmitted. 1t is an abuse to
which the business men of this COM
munity should not submit and 1t appears
as If they purpose to right this matter
without further delay.

anhattan in speaking of the camp gem
orally remarked especially about the
Stray Dog. of which claim he was
formerly owner:
The Stray Dog is fine. I cannot over
state it. AS I was leaving they had
just made a magnificent strike at the
135-foot level. The engineer reports
hat the ledge is 2h feet wide and I
have samples of 1t here. The values
range from $500 to $500. You may say
for me that 1 have now no interest in
this property having sold my holdings
but I always believed in 1t and 1 do
now. I am sure that the lodges from
the Crescent, Union No. 9, Jumping
Jack. Bulls Head. Mayfower and st.
George will all prove to center in the
Stray Dog and hat the property will
prove to be the greatest n richest pro-
Queer of Manhattan"

SOUTHERN PACIFIC FILES
ANSWER TO TAX SUIT

The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany through George d. Pyne. it's attor-
ney, served the answer of the c. & C.
r. r. company upon District Attorney
Douglass yesterday in the suit brought
by this county to recover the sun of
s31,440 for taxes levied for the year
1905. The railroad company rendered to
Treasurer Roach the sum of $14.S56, the
amount due according to valuation by
the state board of assessors, claiming
that the county board had no authority
to increase the assessment. Treasurer
Roach refused to accept that amount,
under advice of the county attorney, and
brought suit for the full amount fixed
by the county board.
