THE STATE LEGISLATURE
Prospects for Final Adjournment
March 20 Seem Bright
IMPORTANT MEASURES ON TAPIS
For a State Reformatory for Women-To
Regulate Child Labor-To Protect
OYSTERS.
Especial Correspondence

Iof@NAf
Trenton, March 15.-The legislature
had busy sessions this week, handling
several measures of Importance and
considerable routine. The prospects
for sine die adjournment on March %
seem bright, but there is Il great
amount of work yet to be done by both
houses.
There was considerable activity Mon
day night despite the fact that he ses-
sions of both house and senate were
rather brief.
A bill was introduced by Leader Per-
kins to establish Il state ~reformatory
for women. The site for such an inSti-
tuition is to be chosen by a commission
appointed and the cash is to be limited
to such sums as shall be appropriated
for the purpose. The commission is to be
appointed by the governor and shall
consist of eight persons, the names of
whom shall be confirmed by the senate,
inc not less than four of these com
m~issioners shall be women. The SUI
perintendent, assistants, physicians,
etc, shall all be ONE Females be
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty
years convicted of crime shall be SEN
fenced to this reformatory. The bill
further provides that female conyicts
at present in the state prison between
the ages of sixteen and thirty shall be
transferred as the governor directs.
To Bar Foreign Corporations.
A bill presented by Mr.. Wakelee pro
vides that hereafter no banking, say
ings trust or safe deposit corporation
created by any other state or by any
foreign state, kingdom or government
shall transact any business i'll this
state.
Mr.. Morgan's bill providing that liq-
uor license fees be fixed by popular
vote, when 80 per cent of the legal vot-
ers of a municipality so petition, was
reported by committee without recon-
mendation.
The measure by Mr.. Marelli proyid-
ing that a summons in district ourts
may be served on any officer, director,
agent, clerk or engineer of a foreign
corporation was passed by the house.
Mr.. ROBBERS bill providing that no
child between the ages of sever and
fourteen years shall be employed to
work at any gainful occupation during
the days and hours of school sessions
was also passed by the house.
MI. Martin, leader Of the Colbyites in
the house, failed to call up his resolu-
ton to relieve the committee on banks
and insurance of his resolution calling
for an investigation of insurance com
panies. All expected this action, but
Mr.. Martin declared that he would not
call up the resolution until next Tues
day.
In the senate petitions were present
ed from Mercer and Passaic counties
against the high license bills. Another
bill by Mr.. Roeber forbids the employ
ment of children under sixteen in any
mercantile establishment more than

He stopped ana 1eIt around on the
floor until he found Ryder's hand. He
released it instantly to take the lamp
from the table. Then he knelt beside
the editor. In the corner where the
latter lay stood a rusty wood stove. In
his fall Griff's head had struck against
it.
The lamp shook in Roger Oakley's
hand like a leaf in a gale. Ryder's
eyes were open and seemed to look
into his own with a mute reproach.
For the rest he lay quite limp, his head
twisted to n side. The old man felt
of his heart. One or two minutes
elapsed. His bearing was one of fe,
verish intensity. He heard three men
loiter by on the street and the sound
of their footballs die off in the distance,
but Ryder's heart had ceased to beat.
Fully convinced of this. he returned
the lamp to the table and, sitting down
In the chair by the door, covered bis
face with his hands and sobbed aloud.
Over and over he murmured: I've
killed him, I've killed him! Poor boy,
poor boy! didn't go to do it"
Presently he got up and made sec
ond examination. The man was dead
past every doubt. His first impulse
was to surrender himself to the tow
marshal, as he had done once before
under similar circumstances.
Then he thought of Dan.
No; he must escape. and perhaps II
would never be known who had killed
Ryder. His death might even be at
tributed to an accident. In his excite
ment he forgot the boy he had met at
the door. That incident had passed en-
tirely from his mind, and he did not
.vmember the meeting until days aft:

artist, with commendable meekness.
He was keenly alive to his own short
comings. I'D never get any sort of

a hand in the bargaining.'

said Ruth alphabetically. cts all very

mo, it doesn't pay" agreed Dan.
There was a long pause, which a
cricket improved to make itself heard
above the sweep of the night wind
through the treetops. Then Ruth said:

Griff. Don't you see I'm busy?'

Then he removed his hat and wiped
his face and neck with elaborate thor

dropped his voice to an impressive

Without being asked Roger Oakley
seated himself in a chair by the door,
He placed his hat and handkerchief on

spectacles, which he put into their case.
Ryder watched him with curious inter

A look of panied surprise crossed
Roger Oakley's face. He was quite

"You can't mean it."

GREAT ACTIVITY
At BLAIR CAMP

Russell G. Seaman, general mana
ger of the Seaman Blair Townsite
company has just come in from the
new camp, He says that all the
snow is off the ground and that
great activity is noticeable. The
pipe line is nearly finished and the
reservoir tank is already on the
grund. Much delay, he says, is being
o~ccasioned in connecting with the
buildings, owing to the absence OF
lumber. Mr.. Seaman said that he
had heard from the manager of the
lumber company that seventeen cars
were on the way from Reno. He
also stated that two cars came in on
Thursday and that the contents were
grabbed up like wild fire.

Victor.

High grade ore is being taken out
and piled upon the dump at the Bull
frog Victor. The new crosscut tun-
mel penetrated the ledge at 22 feet,
with a vertical depth of 20 feet, and
two assays made gave the following
returns: Average of IS inches,
s25S.s0; average of eight inches,
s691.6O. A winze has been started
on the ore, with two shifts working.
The ore that is being wheeled out is
sprinkled literally with free gold,
and the tale seam on the wall is also
showing free gold in abundance,
The ore will be sacked for shipment.
Manager Milliken expects to have 20
men employed by the end of the
week. Mr.. Milliken will make a fine
exhibit of Bullfrog Victor ore at his
office in the Cushman building on
Broadway. He will also send a fine
exhibit to the Chamber Of Commerce
at Los Angeles.

Reg. A. Davidson of Tonopah, who
has been in this section for some
time looking over the country in a
mining way, has secured a bond on a
group of five claims in the copper
belt to the west of this valley.
These claims were originally located
by o. S. Gather and lie just north
of the Nevada-C Colorado ground,
which joins the Ludwig on the north.
A substantial figure was paid in this
transaction, although the property
is but a prospect. There are good
surface showings and, as the ground
lies in a proven district, there is every
reason to believe that it will become
valuable with development work.
Mr.. Davidson and his Tonopah assoc
ciates are now organizing a company
to develop these claims. 1t will be
capitalized for one million dollars;
1000, 900 shares with a par value of
81 per share. The company intends
to do some extensive development
work on the ground just as soon as
1t can make arrangements to do so.

lBullfrog Mining.

Supt. Morris expects to have the
25-horse hoist installed by the first
OF the year. The new shaft will be
sunk at a point between lodges Nos.
/ and 2. both of which have been ex-
plored from the tunnel level. The
plan is to crosscut to the first ledge
from the 100-foot level, and reach
both lodges from the 200 and 300
foot. Work is going ahead in the
main tunnel, which has reached $50
feet. The tunnel on the east side of
the hill is in $50 feet, and is show
ing a full face of milling ore. This
ledge is continuous from the surface
into the breast and most OF the way
shows milling ore.

FORM COMPANY TO BUY MINES
San Francisco Business Men Organ
ize ii Invest i'm Nevada.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. S.-On the
special train of the San Francisco
delegation, a large company was
formed today to invest in mines in
Southern Nevada. Signatures were
obtained and this company will be
backed by millions. A committee
was authorized to purchase suitable
souvenirs to be presented to the
cities of Goldield and Tonopah, also
to order a set of engrossed resolu-
tons.
Quite a number of prospects were
discussed, and a committee on the
question of improved railroad facil-
tiles between San Francisco and the
Nevada gold fields was appointed.
Henry T. Scott appointed the fol.
lowing committee to join with the
Tonopah committee in improving
the railroad connections with Sau
Francisco: Andrew Carrigan, Mar

past two years investigating this part
of the district, and has invested con
siderable money in acquiring some Of
the most promising gold-copper
ground in the district. 1t goes with
out saying that the property now
owned by this company has some
very fine showings, carrying good
values in both gold and copper. Two
shafts sunk to a depth of SIS feet
each will allow an immediate pro-
d%uction, something very few proper
ties in any district can do. The for
nation abs been extolled by many
mining men of repute who have seen
it, as being a formation in which
ores go down to great depth. In
past years some ore was shipped
from this property. Placer mining
was also carried on to some extent
and considerable dust" produced.
Today the copper values alone make
this property valuable. This com
pany is starting as the pioneer de-

WAR ON BETWEEN
STOCK BROKERS
MEMBERS OF SAN FRANCISCO
EXCHANGE MAY PERFECT
NEW ORGANIZATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.-Two
exchanges in this city may be selling
mining stocks in a few days. Such
is the expectation of certain mem
bers of the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board. There is an init
nation In the air of war. The story
is out that If the Stock and Bond
Exchange is not permitted to buy
the seats that it desires in the San
Francisco Stock and Exchange Board
daily by the Stock and Bond Brok-
ers.
There is nothing to prevent the
Stock and Bond Board from adopt
ing this course. The securities are
for sale. There are abundant buy
crs and sellers. But the Stock and
Bond brokers who are back of the
move to deal in mining stocks have
seen fit to go at the matter in
another way. They have first asked
the San Francisco Stock and Ex-
change Board to do something. If
a refusal is given the former can say
that they did not enter the field of
mining stocks brokerage with a
scheme to take the business away
from those who now have it; also
they can say that they have merely
protected themselves.
These are some of the aspects of
a situation that is becoming more in
taresting daily. The proposition of
the Stock and Bond Board implies
the putting up of something like
$250,000 for the purchase of seats
in the San Francisco Stock and EX-
change Board. Virtually, some of
tile more prominent among the mine
brokers say, it amounts to a CONSOLE
dation of the two boards if the
scheme is logically carried out.
While S250,000 is a considerable
sum of money for the Stock and
Bond Board to put up, mining brok-
ers say that the San Francisco Stock
and Exchange Board does not need
il and that it is no inducement to
persuade It to divide it's business
Nlth the other board.
The fire Of last April destroyed
the records and other valuable eff
fcets of the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board, but its real estate
on Pine street, with the old mining
stock building, was sold months be-
fore that. The $250,00O which is
mentioned as an approximate figure
offered by the Stock and Bond Board
it is conceded, might furnish a desir-
able addition to a building fund for
the San Francisco Stock and Bond
Roard, and it also conceded that the
Stock and Bond Board has other adj
vantages TO offer to the mining
stocks brokers.
While the matter is pending the
members of the Stock and Bond
Hoard are keeping very still. There
is a penalty of $3.50 for talking
about the boards affairs when any
secret transaction is concerned. The
negotiations were purchased yester-
day. The San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board representatives went
70 the committee representing the
Stock and Bond Board to have GER
tain phrases Of the proposition fur
thor calculated. This gave rise to a
rumor that the parties were nearing
an agreement, but this was disputed
The matter may come to an issue
today in the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board when the weekly
executive meeting will be held.

The visit of Captain DeLamar to
his Bluestone property last week
means that in a very few weeks from
now great activity will be displayed
on that property. This was Mr.. De-
Lamar's first visit to the Bluestone
mine, and he found it to be even a
greater property than he anticipated
There are a million and a half tons
of copper ore in the Bluestone that
will yield al average of 2 per cent.
in red meatl.
For the past year careful expert
ments have been made with electro
magnetic spectators on all charac-
ters of ore in the mine, and it has
been demonstrated that by this pro-
cess over 80 per cent of the values
can be extracted. Arrangements are
now being made for the construction
of a plant, to be located in the vicin-
ity of the pump station, which will
handle in the neighborhood of 1000
tons per day. A tramway will bring
the ore from the mine to the con-
centrating plant, but it has not been
definitely determined whether or not
a converting plant will be erected
or the concentrates shipped. The
large double-track tunnel will reach
the station point in another 100 feet,
and there will be established an cleo
trio plant for hosting, running cars,
