social is to raise the money necessary
for buying a piano for the school. The
school is sadly in need OF a piano. as
every one must know, aud 1t seems
only right that every one should lend
his or her aid towards making the at
fair a financial as well as a social sue
cess. A short but attractive pro-
pramme will be first in order. There
will be several selectioi IS rendered by
The German Orchestra, a vocal solo by
Miss Annie Lucey, and a farce, entitled
IA Quiet Family" After the pro-
gramme there will be an auction, ur-
ing which lunches will be sold 10 the
highest bidder. The ladies are asked to
donate a box or a basket of lunch and
the gentlemen are asked to come pre-.
pared to buy the box or the basket b a
may suit their fancy. Cake and Ice
cream aud coffee will be served also Tor
25 cents. So there will lie plenty OF
good things to eat as well as a good
programme, which will arouse every
one to the proper spirit for the OCCASION
A general admittance fee of 25 cents for
adults, and 10 cents for children under
10 will be asked. Don't forget to come
to the basket social on Friday evening.
Oct. 10. and have a good time. Let us
all remember that a piano is needed for
the school and let US all show what Eu-
reka can do for the improvement OF her
school. The entertainment will com
mence at S:l5 sharp. The doors VIII
be open at 7:l5.

Second Hand Stores Burn at
Midnight Tuesday

12 O'Clock and for several hours the city
was in a panic of excitement. Five
business buildings. all frame, were de-
stroyed, entailing a loss of $45, 900. upon
which there was a light insurance.
The fire was discovered in the small
store adjoining the st. Francis Hotel,
aud it travelled rapidly until it reached
the Lothrop- Davis store, where it was
stopped. The fire spread so rapidly
that the Tonopah Fire Department was
summoned. It answered Immediately,
a special train being run at high speed
by the Tonopah Railway Company.
When the Department arrived the
flames were well under control and
finally were subdued.
There was a sharp wind blowing at
the time, but it did not incr aase much
or the town would have been lost.
Goldfeld has a good Fire Department.
which is all that saved the camp from a
wholesale co~nfagration.
The buildings which were destroyed
were frame and were occupied by sa-
looms and second hand stores.

would go. tut the fireman. by the most
heroic measures, managed to conine the
flames to the buildings mentioned.

Dyuamite's Successor in Mexico.

Potasimite. the new explosive per-
fected in Monterey. Mexico. is attract
ing great attention, states the Mexican
Investor. The factory for its manu-
facture will be completed within the
year. Potasimite was used with success
upon the construction of a Mexican Gen.
trail Railroad branch. and is pronounced
safer. cheaper. and more powerful than
dynamite. Those explosives based upon
nitrogen produce a gas that necessitates
abandoning closed works, such as a
mine or tunnel during the explosion.
aud the laborers can not return to work
for a long time thereafter. depending
upon the facility for carrying off the
gas. Potasimite is said to produce no
obnoxious gas. the only %precaution be-
ing for the workmen to get out Of the
way of the flying PARTICLES of the blasted
rock.

Can't Secure Cars

Elko Free Press Oct. Q: Stock
shippers are experiencing serious
difficulties in shipping these days.
owing to the failure OF the Rail.
road Company to supply cars. At noon
to-day there were orders for stock cars
at Elko agRregating III, and only 8 are
on hand. This is working a hardship
on stockmen as they are obliged to
pasture and feed their beef stock until
the car famine is relieved. About 1900
head Of beef cattle are being held for
cars. and it seems impossible to tell
when the relief will come.

Sheriff Sweeney Returns
Bringing Charles Williams, Man
Accused Of Stealing Horses
In Eureka County

From the San Francisco Chronicle
Sheriff W. H. Sweeney, who came
down from Eureka, Nevada, to capture
the daring horse thieves who got away
with about 500 head of the best in the
county. will leave to-day for Nevada to
get his hands on the other two men who
did the work. Charley Williams has
already been captured in this city with
80 Of the horses, and through him in-
formation was received concerning the
other two members of the gang.
Sheriff Sweeney claims that he will
arrest them as soon as he gets back to
the desert.
The horses found in this city were
located in the stable of John Koran, at
Tenth aud Bryant streets, several days
ago. and the local authorities were noti-
fed. The place was watched and the
man who had brought the horses taken
into custody. The horses were identi-
fed by their brands.
Sheriff Sweeney will take Williams
back with him to Nevada, and will turn
him over to the authorities there.
The recent raid Of the horse thieves
has set all that part of Nevada in
motion. and it has become the question
Of the hour.

PRESENT CONDITIONS IN NEVADA
In an Interview at Salt Lake
Governor John Sparks States
a Few Facts

In an interview in Salt Lake City last
week with a Tribune representative.
Governor John Sparks had the follow
ing to say of present conditions in Me-
vada:
"This year we are buildipg rail-
roads. opening mines, shipping bullion.
and paying taxes. Business in all its
branches is in q healthy condition.
crops are good, and farmers are pros
porous. There are several railroads
built within the ~State-what / mean is,
they start and end within the State Of
Nevada. This, OF itself. is indicative Of
Of the stability with which the mining
resources of the State are regarded by
that class of men who are not given to
to this sort Of investment upon uncer-
tainties. In other words, railroads are
not built for local traffic unless IL Is
certainty that the traffic is tributary to
handle.
"You may put this down a. coming
from the Governor: That from per-
sonal knowledge of the magnitude Of
many Of Nevada's mines and upon re-
liabls information, there are several
hundred million tons Of ore blocked out
and on the dumps ready for shipment
aud treatment. 1t is computed by men
competent to judge Of such matters that
it would take at least fifty years to
work out the mines of the State now in
process Of DEVELOPMENT.
Mines Are Rich
at is being demonstrated that our
mines are better and richer than those
Of old Mexico, some of the latter Of
which are over 400 years old, and are
still among the list Of ore producers.
The extent and richness Of the mines
of Nevada are far away aud beyond
any reasonable calculation. Why, the
gold output Of just n mine, the Mo-
hawk OF Goldield, is over $1,000,000a
month. Then we have the Ramsey dis
trict. which is rapidly forging to the
front. Manhattan, Transvall. and the
entire Bullfrog district. Fairview.
Round Mountain, Lyle, Tonopah. Owl
ing, which promises to become one OF
the great camps Of the State. Eure ka,
once the famous lead camp. which for
three years controlled the lead market
of the world, now that all lawsuits are
settled will again take her place in the
mining world. An immense amount
of mining machinery is going into the
district. and old Eureka is more than
likely to again take her place as the
Queen lead camp of the West. Eureka
County has $500, 900. 900 Of ore produc-
ton to her credit in days gone by"
