Has Resigned.

Alonzo Trip, the popular general
manager of the Tonopah and Goldfield
Railroad Company, wired his resigna.
ton last Thursday to President Brock
at Philadelphia. His resignation was
due to the fact that the higher officials
of the company had decreed that he
must give up all his mining interests,
sever his connections with all mining
companies and devote his whole atten-
ton to the interest of the railroad com
pany, in order to hold his position. Mr..
Trip did not propose to submit to this
arbitrary demand, hence his resigna-
tion. He was a very efficient manager
and the company will lose a good man.

A New AdX't.

The attention of the readers of the
BONANZA is called to the triple-column
of the Keith O'Brien Company of Salt
Lake City, which appears among our
advertisements in this weeks issue.
This company has one of the largest de-
partment stores west of the Rockies.
They want a share of Nevada's trade
and as an inducement offer rare bar
gains to u people. They carry every
thing that can be had in a first-class
department store and mail orders are
solicited. Salt lake is the nearest and
quickest shipping point, give them a
trial.

M Il NUMBER.

1t appears that there is nc federal or
State law limiting or putting restric-
tons on the number of claims any one
individual or corporation may locate.
In many cases something like a hundred
locations have been made by one man,
who was not in a position to develop or
do the assessment work on even one
claim, yet he was permitted to hold all
those locations to the exclusion of every
one else for a period of ninety days be-
fore doing his location work, which is
at best trifing in extent, and then he
has a whole year in which to do his
assessment work. The injustice of this
is apparent. Man is prone to greedi-
ness and it seems natural for him to
grasp everything he thinks some one
else wants. AS those who do the pros
pecting and make new finds are usually
men of small means, they cannot afford
to remain idly about a new camp wait
ing to see how many of his locations
the other fellow, who was fortunate
to get in first, is going to let go, so he
moves on and thus the work of develop
menr is retarded. In view Of this and
many other reasons, which could be
named, it would seem only justice to
the greater number that some law be
enacted placing restrictions upon the
number of mining claims which may be
located by any one individual and thus
put a stop to this dog-in-the-manger
practice Of gobbling up everything in
sight to the injury of the country.

Mines in Lltigation.

The trial of civil suit of w. S. John
son VS.. Dan Mcnamara ct al, which
was commenced in the District Court
two weeks ago, is still in progress as
we go to press. This suit was brought
to settle a controversy involving six OF
seven acres of mining ground, situated
on Litigation hill at Manhattan. The
mines in dispute were about the first
discoveries in Manhattan and are said
to be very valuable. About fifteen OF
twenty witnesses were examined anc
more are to follow. The plaintiff is
represented by Judges Bonnifeld &
Massey and P. A. Boiler, and the de
PENDANTS by M. A. Gibbons, William
Forman and B. S. Wilson.

The question OF whether an alien can
locate and hold mining claims before he
has become a citizen of the United
States, has been the subject of much
discussion and difference of opinion in
this locality. 1t appears from a deci-
sion of the Supreme Court that he has
the right but when he makes applica-
ton for patent it must appear that he
has at least declared his intention of
becoming a citizen before a patent will
be issued to him.

1t might be we'll to caution some of
the auto chaffeurs of Tonopah to be a
little careful when they approach a
team on the street that is not accus-
toned to this new machine. Of course
they have as much right on the street
as any other vehicle, still by stopping
when they see a team is becoming un-
manageable would not involve a great
loss Of time and might be the means Of
preventing serious accidents.

that they are all coming to Nevada, as
better opportunities are to be had here

The belief is that the white brother
and his family were bad, and were
sent away from the others, taking the
book with them. Other writings were
revealed to those who remained but
most of the revelations have been de-
stroyed. To the people of Kun Tum
was given two great pillars of stone.
These they were instructed to protect
and preserve. They were also instruct
ed to keep alien people out of their
country, but were told in a revelation
to submit to the British. The stone pill
lars are to be guarded until God ap-
pears in human FORM This they ex-
pect soon to occur. The ancient
legend, told thus briefly, fits we'll with
the return of the white race with a
book, the Bible, and this native chief
says that he and many others wait to
see how it shall fare with those who
have become Christians, in order that
they may Judge whether the religion
with a book was really their primeval
religion and the book the one taken
from them so long ago.

A. Walsh, diocesan director of the So

of this city, that one of the society's
missionaries had been put to death in

The victim was Rev. Father Soulie,
who originally came from Rodez,
France, and was just closing score OF
years service in Tibet, whittier he
went in 1885.
The details of his death come from a
lama of Yaregong, who was a friend
of the deceased missionary. On the
day of the massacre troop of lamas
of Bathong had been running amuck in
the territory, and, among other out"

times called Swearing John Holmes, !"
for he was also one of the largest
hearted of men, and was not awed by
wealth or position.
This story about him was related
by the Hon. William Pitt Fessenden.
He said during the first year of the
civil war Holmes was in Washington
looking for something to do, while
he was In the United States Senate.
He was in. Secretary Stanton's office
one day, and Stanton said: tsI am
looking for good man to buy horses
In New England for the army; can
you recommend any one for the posi-

one of his townsmen was in Wash

ply was: "Send him in to see me

Mr.. Grimshaw, one of whose daugh-
ters was about to be married, decided
that among other presents he would
give her fine, sewing machine. With
this purpose in mind he stopped at
a shop while on his way home one aft
ernoon, and inspected the latest and
best styles of machines, but thought
it best to be in no hurry, and went
away without having made pur-
chase. A day or two later his daugh-
ter surprised him by telling him that
a man had called at the house and
left machine as sample, promis-
ing to call and take it away again if
the lady of the house did not wish to
buy it. "But it's just exactly the kind
want, papa," she said. IF you are
going to give me a sewing machine I
would rather have that one than any
other.'' ttWell, child" he responded
''then We'll let it stay.'' The next
morning he called at the address Civ
