ORANGE GROWERS
DEMAND CARS

Visalla, CAL, Dec. "a mass meet
ing of indignant orange growers was
held at Lindsay Saturday afternoon to
devise ways and means to induce the
Southern Pacific Railway Company to
furnish cars for the transportation of
oranges to the eastern markets. The
meeting was largely attended.
The car shortage was considered and
it was the unanimous opinion that the
railroad company had no excuse for its
failure to handle the business offered.
A committee was appointed to secure
legal advice and consider the PROPOSE
tion of taking the matter before the
interstate commerce commission so
that action may be taken by congress
at once should the commission find
legislation necessary.

WESTERN FEDERATION OF
MINERS RELEASED

Washington, d. c., Dec .3.-The SUI
preme court has declared for the re-
lease of the officials of the Western
Federation of Miners, held in Idaho on
a charge of implication in the murder
of former-Governor Steunenbsrg.
The court held that the motives of
the governor of Idaho in issuing the
extradition papers and the governor of
Colorado in honoring them, are imma-
terial. Justice McKenna dissented.
Justice Harlan announced in the
opinion that the accused had applied
for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that they are illegally arrested
in Colorado and thus taken illigally in
to the state of Idaho. This contention
was quashed by the federal court of
Idaho, the decision being affirmed to-
day by the supreme court.
The guilt OF tho accused is not taken
into consideration.

FRISCO HAS
PLENTY OF FUEL

San Francisco, Dec. 3.-There is
no longer any danger of fuel fa-
mine in San Francisco and Nevada
as it is announced that 5000 tons
of coal has been unloaded in San
Francisco and $4,000 tons will ar
rive before the end of the week.
Last week 1000 tons were shipped
to Nevada points and another 1000
tons will be shipped this week.
The unusual demand from interior
points, together with unavoidable
delay in loading the steamships at
the mines, caused the shortage.

CHICAGO SALOONS TO
CLOSE next SUNDAY

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Chicago saloons
are to be closed next Sunday for the
first time in decades if the Sunday
Closing league succeeds in its plans to
force Mayor Dunne's hands by means
of writ of mandamus.
The petition for the writ is already
in course of preparation by the leagues
attorneys, Church, McMurdy & Sher-
man. 1t will be filed in the circuit
court this week.
The decision to resort to mandamus
methods was reached only after SER
ious consideration of suggestion to go
before the grand jury with a demand
for the mayors indictment on a charge
of malfeasance, misfeasance and nom
feasance in Office. A third.proposition,
not very seriously considered, en-
braced the wholesale indictment of
saloonkeepers. Should the appeal to
the civil courts fail, members of the
league say, resort will still be had to
criminal proceedings, both against the
mayor and the saloon keepers.
Mayor Dunno has frankly refused to
enforce Sunday closing. He says he
believes majority of the citizens want
the Sunday saloons, and he does not
intend to bow to the will of small
minority, however respectable.

ROOSEVELT IN
FAVOR OF TAFT

Washington, Dec. 3.-There is a
good reason to believe President Roose-
velt will be sounded during the next
week or so by Ohio politicians in an
effort to learn whether he favors VIM.
H. Taft, secretary of war, for selection
as the standard bearer of the republi-
can party in the next national cam
paign.
For many weeks the report has been
in circulation in Washington that Mr..
Taft is Mr.. Roosevelt's choice for the
presidential nomination in 1908. Out
in Ohio there is a lively faction that is
opposed to further advancement for
Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who
is identified with the wing of the party
that has control of the organization.
1t has been reported for a long time
and accepted as gospel by good many
political observers that if Mr.. Foraker
wants the Ohio delegation to the re-
publican convention he can have it.
However, according to adviceS re-
ceived here, the idea is spending in
Ohio that Mr.. Foraker is not in the
running, and if the state is to land the
presidential nomination it must tie up
to Mr.. Taft. Friends of the latter,
such as Representatives Burton and
Southard and Harry Daugherty, who
stand high with the party in Ohio, are
among those who believe that if an ex-
preston can be obtained from the
president favorable to Mr.. Taft, Mr..
Foraker will stand aside. They figure
that if the president lets it be known
that he would like to see his secretary
of war succeed him in the White
House, state pride in Ohio will force
Mr.. Foraker to sacrifice himself for

NEW MAP OF NEVADA

The Nevada Engineering Works of
Reno are producing an up-to-date map
of the mining districts of this state and
the adjoining portions of California,
showing all roads, railroads and com
munications leading to the established
mining camps.
This map is a very fine production and
has cost a great deal of money. 1t is
the most complete and accurate map of
his state and adjacent districts that
has been published and should be in the
hands of every mining man.
To illustrate it's scope, it may be mem
Toned that such new camps as Seven

been correctly located and the roads
connecting them with stage lines and
railroads inserted.
The Nevada Engineering Works an
nounce that they intend to distribute
these maps free of all charge to mining
men and request those wishing copies,
to send in their names and postal adj
dresses without delay.
The engraving is now being made and
the map will be ready for distribution
by November 18th.

The Ida Mines company holds soma OF
mo most promising ground in Fairsiew
as far as its location is concerned. The
claims lie Immediately west of the Ne
vada Hills mine and the big o~utcropping
ledge already referred 10 uns along the
crest of a steep hill. An excellent tun-
mel site is afforded on this ground, and
yet up to a few weeks ago nothing but
trenching has been attempted. For
months past the work of some six or
eight men has been entirely confined to
this open cut work and thus far il has
esulted in the discoveries of any kind.
This policy OF surface work, Mr.. Hinck-
ley states. has now been abandoned and
a tunnel that will cut the ledge at a sub
stantial depth has been started and is
now in some so feet.
Mining men who know Fairview are
unanimous in declaring that the holding
of the Ida Mines company is about the

section, and the news of a good strike
in the tunnel may be looked for within

being employed and three different
claims of the group are being extern

vein. Assays are being obtained run

on the Red Rock a system of trench

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL
 IN SALE OF GOLD BRICK

The transfer of the group of claims known as the Gold Brick group in the old Orc Blanco district. consisting of three claims and belonging to W. s. Wild, an old prospector, is a deal of Considerable importance, says the No gales Times.
 The purchasers are Dr. J. B. Sloane and Vim. F.. Ransom of LosaAngeles. and the purchase price was s75.000.
 The above property is considered as making a remarkable showing for the amount of work done, there being ex- posed at depth of 55 feet a two-foot ledge, between granite and porphyry walls, which is said to carry s2OO gold value to the ton, and having every appearance of permanence and in- creasing size going down.
 IL is the intention of the purchasers to begin at once extensive and system atic work on the group.
