NIade a Good Indian.

Hughey Willis returned from Millett
Wednesday for a days visit. He says
a shooting scrape took place in the new
mining camp last week, "Indian Spud"
killing Indian Tule." 1t is claimed
that the shooting was the result of an
accident. Both redskins had been
drinking heavily and "Indian Spud"
was swapping a revolver which he said
was empty. The third time he pulled
the trigger there was an explosion and
a bullet struck Indian Tule," killing
him almost instantly. Johnny Ink
house and Capt. Bisquet were other
notable Indians present at the time.

The Joke was ON Him.

A well-known Tonopah man who was
in San Francisco at the time of the
earthquake and who joined in the mad
rush to the ferry to get out of the
doomed city, tells the following good
joke on himself:
81 was standing at the ferry when a
well-dressed young woman asked me to
hold a satchel while she got her ticket.
did 50 and in the crush the young
woman got separated from me and did
not claim her luggage. | finally got
tired of carrying it and opened the
satchel. What do you think it contain.
ed? Why, a cat and a puppy dog"

The Railroad to BulIirog.

The right of way through the ground
of the Combination, Florence, C. 0. d.
and the Gold Bar properties has been
secured, the contract for grading has
been let and by the first of the coming
week active work will be commencedby
the Goldfeld- Tonopah Railroad COM
pany on the extension Of the road from
Goldfeld on down to Bullfrog, and one
who is in touch with the situation stated
that cars would be running between the
two great camps within SIX months.
Messrs. Mclean and Ottman, the
grading contractors, are here with a
complete outfit, consisting of several
hundred head of horses and mules and
big lot of scrapers, plows, etc. At first
only a few men will be put to work,
but within two weeks, however, it is
expected to have at least 300 employed,
and grading will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. A $500 gallon capacity water
tank arrived yesterday and was taken
to the grading camp. This tank will be
used for carrying water for the grading
stock.
All the ties, rails and in fact all the
accessories, for the building of the line,
have been arranged for and the con-
tractors have the assurance that no I'M
necessary delays will be occasioned by
the non-arrival of material. -Goldfeld

Briaht OutIook Tor Neyada.

Nevada has long been regarded as a
kind Of opera bouffe state. With a ter
ritory about twice as large as all New
England, she had in 1900 a population
no greater than that Of a fourth-class
Massachusetts city, says the Boston,
Massachusetts, Transcript.
Politically, she has been a kind Of APP
pendage of California. But a Yankee
from this State, who has recently gene
out there, writes to the Springfield Re-
publican that its day Of awakening and
development is close at hand. Not
alone are new and rich mineral grounds
in the southern portion, inviting capital
and population, but new processes are
being applied to make the famous Com
stock lode, which has practically heen
fallow since 1890, once more productive.
In the thirty years proceeding that date
about $340, 900, 900 was taken from that
treasure vault of nature, the largest
amount in a single year being S2s, 000,-
600, in 1877.
But the irrigation schemes are at
tracing as much attention as the min
eral wealth, and they help to steady the
prospect. 1t is the soil rather than the
mines that makes States. Nevada has
been thus far little more than a specu-
lator's paradise, yet its lands are
amongst the most fertile Of the great
West, and they certainly have not been
exhausted by generalization. Irriga-
ton will stimulate agriculture and rail-
roads are being run to meet the de-
mands that wait on the future. If the
land-grabbers and the water right pi-
rates can be kept in check and the set
tier and homemaker encouraged to come
in, there are but few States for which
the outlook would be brighter.

Manhattan Needs Mills.

j. M. Macdonald. the noted mining
engineer, who has just returned from
Manhattan says that camp is in need of
milling plants more than anything else.
There is a plenty of milling ore in the
camp, and thousands of tons will go to
a mill when it is erected, which will be
in a very short time, as three plants
are figuring on the place of erection.
The fire may set them back temporarily
but it can't last as the money is there
to buy and some one will furnish the
material. On an average of fifty tons
a week of shipping ore is being sent
out, which is a pretty good record for a
camp six months old.

direction of Messrs. Champlin and Nc

tween here and Manhattan.

viii Rise Again.

Nevada, dumbfounded and deeply
sorrowed by the catastrophe which has
devasted her neighboring State, has no
reason whatever to fear for herself any
serious consequences. On the contrary,
her mining industry will receive an un-
expected impetus by the renewed and
intense interest which capital is bound
to take in her legitimate mining enter
prise, says Max Junghandel. History
and dynamic geology teach that such
violent movements in the earth's crust
as experienced this week, occur at only
long intervals, extending over hundreds
and thousands of years. The Pacific
coast, judging from past experience,
settled down once again and will be free
from any serious disturbances for a
long period. There is no question that
this opinion will ultimately prevail and
that San Francisco and other stricken
communities will rise again, Phoenix
like from their fire-blackened ruins
more substantially and beautifully built
than ever; and the riches extracted
from the mines of Nevada will largely
contribute to this resurrection of the
Pacific"

Nevada Greatest of All.

Nevada, through in prehistoric
times the scene of tremendous volcanic
upheavals, has been singularly free
from any great seismic disturbances
during modern times. 1t seems as if
within her boundaries the plutonic
forces have spent themselves, become
extinct and left as reminders of their
former activity those minerals which
are destined to make Nevada the great
est metal producing territory the world
has ever known. Legitimate mining in
Nevada, based on of unques-
tionable richness and conducted accord
ing to the latest progress of mining
geology and engineering as well as on
sound business principles, affords to-
day unequalled opportunities for the in
vestment of capital, with larger returns
and greater security than real estate or
any line of business. MAX UNGHANDEL.

Banks Again Open.

The banks of Tonopah opened their
doors for business again last Wednes-
day morning. Very little money was
drawn out Of any Of them and at the
close of the day there was more money
IN the vaults of each Of them than at
the beginning, the deposits having
amounted to more than the Withdrawals.
The Tonopah banks without exception,
are as strong as the rock of Gibraltar
and enjoy the confidence and good Will
of the people.

Roosevelt and His "Dude Outfit"

',It was in 1885 that I first saw Roose- velt," says H. w. Otis of Peshastin, Washington, in Success Magazine" "That was the year he established his ranch in the Bad Lands of Dakota and Nebraska Had l known that young fel- low was booked for the presidency of the United States 1 certainly would have cul- tivated his acquaintance more than dld.
 ''The most conspicuous parts of him then. as now, were his glasses and his big teeth. I remember his advent into camp and his initiation as a cow-puncher It is always the custom to get. for the tenderfoot to ride. the worst broncho ob- tainable. Roosevelt on getting astride the wild horse, was mighty soon dumped off. He was thrown time and time again. but persisted until he succeeded in breaking the animal to ride, and when he came back to camp he let out war whoop worthy of a true buckaroo. That experi- ence gained for him the respect Of the older comboys, who looked with naughty disdain upon a tenderfoot.
 "There were five or six young fellows from New York with Roosevelt. and we called them the dude outfit I have no doubt President Roosevelt well remem- hers an incident which occurred in camp one day on the roundup. We had in our gang a wild. reckless fellow named Bill Iones Bill had killed another mans dog. One of the New Workers said I'd like to sae that Bill Jones kill dog of mine.' we'll said Bill, who chanced to hear the remark, you Just play for a few minutes that 1t was your dog that Bill Iones killed The young New Yorker concluded that he did not care to have anything to do with superstitious cases at least he remained in the tent"

Why the Actor Smiled.
From Success Magazine.

From Success Magazine.
 The late Joseph Jefferson used to enjoy telling in his quaint way, of the sad case of a player in the old days. A company had been sent out from New Orleans to visit the towns along the Mississippi river up to St. Louis. Bus mess had been anything but good, and the meagre receipts at the box office had resulted in a heavy reduction of salaries before the company had been out for many weeks. One night. after the per formance the stage manager, who was also the leading man took exception to the manner in which one of the players had interpreted a. certain death scene.'' Why exclaimed the stage manager, in- dignantly, you actually smiled in that scener Yes" replied the player who had been rebuked ''in view of the salary that you now pay me, death seems pleasant relief"
