WAS NOT POACHING
STRENUOUS DENIAL REGARDING
 THE SMACK STEARNS.
Owner of the Vessel Further Declares That No Warning Ever Was Re- ceived to Keep Out of Mex
 fcan WaterS.

Pensacola, Fla, May 5.-(SpeciaI. )- Captain Warren, of the Warren Fish Company, who smack. Silas P. Stearns, was seized by Mexican war vessel off the coast of Yucatan. is very em- phatic in denial that his firm was ever warned to keep their vessels out of Mexican waters or that the vessels of his fleet have ever been engaged in poaching or have violated the fishing laws of Mexico in any manner. He says that the vessel, when captured was sixty miles off shore and that the fish which were on board were caught at much greater distance from land
 Advices received today from Progress so, to which port thA smack was lowed after capture and where the members of the crew are held in pris- on, are to the effect that no attorney has yet been secured to conduct the defense. notwithstanding the fact that every effort has been made to secure one.
 Mexicon Consul Diaz, when seen this morning, was unable to understand why the members of the Mexican bar should not be willing to. take the case, and volunteered to secure an attorney to defend the case if the owners of the vessel desired him to do so.
 It Is understood that the United States minister to Mexico is trying to secure the release of the vessel, as well as other vessels held upon the same charge, under a bond which will allow of the vessels and crews re- turning to the United States.

Only "'| . A Few.

Last week we had big line of those beautiful Scotch Plaids. and they were taken up right away. This week we have only a few of the latest novel, ties-something specially fine and ex- tra swell-so you would better come in right now, if you want one for that summer suit.
 We are sure that we have never seen patterns with such an air of exclusive ness about them as you will see in these that we are showing for this week.
 They came direct from Scotland. and every fibre displays the remarkably fine workmanship of the skilled sotch- man. The only way to fully appreciate them is to make your selection. and then let us put one on you in the Hurley way-you know what that means.

work for Freight Bureau.

The committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association appointed to formulate plans for the organiza- ton of freight bureau, held most interesting meeting tonight, most of the members of the committee being present. Plans for the organization of the bureau were adopted and the committee will actively begin work next Wednesday. The meeting decided that 1t would cost $5.000 a year to run the bureau and to raise this amount the committee will be divided into sub- committees under sub-chairmans who will solicit subscriptions for its main tenance. The minimum that the com mittees Is expected to secure from the business interest Is $3,500. and If there is any dehciency in the necessary amount 1t Is thought. that the com mercial and industrial association will supply the balance. The committee is working under the chairmanship of Captain Lloyd Hooper and there is but little doubt but that the necessary amount will be quickly raised.
 The s5.O00 yearly, Captain Hooper says, will supply a good man who knows thoroughly the question of rail- road rates and who will be of great benefit to the business interests of this city in securing cheaper freight tar ifs. This man also will act as secre- tary of the commercial and industrial association.

A FORTUNE AWAITS YOU IN ME-
 vada.
 Many princely fortunes have been made in Southern Nevada securities during the past six years. Small in- vestments made in mining shares have grown into competence for life. The large and small investors alike have profited. MIR sCHwAB HAS MADE MILLIONS i. and the same is true of many other money barons who have invested in Southern Nevada mines. but with all their n1oney-making on the part of men of great wealth the small investor has been comparatively even more for tunate It Is a we'll established fact that the people who have made the money in Southern Nevada have been the Eastern investors. and 1t is equally well established that in almost every case the ones who got in on the ground floor later sold out at a handsome profit to rich syndicates which sought control of the mines. This has not only been true of Bullfrog. but it is true of all Southern Nevada camps, and in Man haitian we are offering you an oppor- tunity to cast your fortune with ours and join us in making another great Southern Nevada Gold Mine. We have made good in Bullfrog and Goldfeld and we are making good in Manhattan. We are distinctly mine makers and we are going to make a mine of the Man haitian AMETHYST. Tn Buiifrog less than four months ago we organized the Bullfrog Amethyst Company. This stock was sold to the public at 15 cents; 1t IS now selling around SIPS and Is one of the best properties of the big bo- nanza camp. The history of the AdE- THYST is but a repetition of our nu- merous successes in the various Nevada camps.
