There are prospectors who go out
with picks and shovels, and others
equipped with lead pencils and note
books. The first dig in the ground,

of successful mining men. The mining

DENVER MERCHANTS wRATHY
Nevada Not Only Section Discrimin-
ated Against by Railroads.


Through the Denver Commercial
Club the shippers of that city have
made determined protest against al
legged determinations in freight rates.
A committee of Denver shippers met
April IL with the traffic executives Of
Western roads and the Western rate
tariff was discussed. The Denver men
declare that if relief is not afforded
them they will go to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and to the
courts.
In general the complaint is that the
Missouri river jobbers can get goods
from Chicago and ship them through
Denver to Salt Lake and to points west
and northwest at cheaper combina-
tion of rates than Denver can ship to
the same points.
For examples. paper, originating in
Wisconsin and destined for Salt Lake,

jobbers for $l.13 per 100 pounds, as

How VIII NeUada,s Senators Vote /?

HoU Will NeUodos . Senators Vote
There is some speculation in this State
about which way Nevada's Senators
will vote on the Railway Rate Bill now
before the Senate. So far as Senator
Nixon is concerned he has stated that
he was with the President, and it is to
be expected that he will vote accord
ingly.
Senator Newlands has a bill of his
own that he claims will remedy all
railway evils and is putting that ahead
of anything. 1t is possible that he may
become so very much involved in the
intricacies of his own measure as to
cause him to vote against the Hepburn
bill. He is getting pretty well on toward
that mental condition just now. He
might claim to discover that the Presi-
dents ideas conflict with his own to
the extent of justifying him to vote
against the former. Whether or not it
is premeditated, he has placed himself
in position where he can go one way
or the other with ease. Few members
of either House of Congress have reach
ed such an invulnerable position. 1t
has also long been admitted that New.
lands represents large interests in the
Southern Pacific, and that he is a
partner Of its chief counsel
Ii is quite essential to the interests
of Nevada that it be placed Alright be-

PEOPLE TO ELECT SENATORS
Resolution Contemplating This
Change in Politics Is Fa-
vorably Reported.

Aresolution providing for the election
of Senators by direct vote of the people
has been favorably acted upon by the
House Committee on Election of Presi-
dent, Vice President and and Repre-
sentatives in Congress. The resolution.
which was introduced by Morris of
Nebraska, makes the terms of the mem
bers of the House four years instead of
two.
VIII Require Amendment.
Both propositions are to be accom-
plished by amendments to the Constitu-
tion. Reasons why the terms of mem
bers of the House four years are stated
to be because no party can inaugurate
its policy in two years.

Daniel Roche of PENIS Grove picked
up a live man floating in the river off
Carneys Point. He was kept up by a
life buoy which was tied to his arms and
made it impossible for him to get loose
and sink. When found he was nearly
exhausted and his limbs were swollen,
because he had been in the river eight
hours. Roach who was in a skiff took
the man to Carneys Point from whence
lie was taken to Wilmington.
In broken English he managed to say
that lie was a sailor on the German
steamship Acilia, bound for Hamburg.

JOHN DIVER
Born December 20, 1926
Died October ,


The funeral service was largely attend
ed in Emmanuel NJ. E. Church lat Sat-
urday morning by the older citizps OF
this region. Some of the commission
merchants who had sold his produle for
years and knew his character thereby,
came to pay their last tribute of re'pect.
Rev. VIM. Stone, the pastor in charge.
read the Goth Psalm, after which Rev. j..
Tushingham made a touching prayer.
The choir sang ''Asleep in Jesus"
Rev: L. O. Manchester, of Sharp0wn,
who was pastor at Emmanuel Church in
IS74-76 spoke of Mr.. Diver being then a
steady worshiper, a generous and stead
fast friend of the Church and pastor, al
tho he did not become a member Of the
Church until years afterwards. What
JOY it would be to have entire relief from
those things which try and annoy us.
Rev. B. c. Lippincott, who was pastor
in 10000, SAID Mr.. Diver was one OF the
truest men and dearest friends he ever
knew. He made no demonstration but
was a quiet steady worshiper who help
ed preach by his life. We may make
ourselves better by studying his life
What a heritage to his family. His char
acter and works do follow him. Let us
initiate him. To die is gain. .
Rev. George I. Harris, who was pastor
in 1879, said that Mr.. Diver was aneigh-
Dor in deed, the preachers friend, ready
to extend a helping hand, aud such was
his bigness OF heart that he gave the
preacher a right to everything he had.
The children loved him. He had heard
| one say he had lost his best friend. How
| happy to be taken in the attitude of
prayer. We shall meet him the Lord is
good.
Rev. w. Stone said he was glad to set
before us not only the word of God but
the life of John Diver. If he had an enc
my he did not know it. He had not known
Mr.. Diver long but knew that all that
had been said was true. Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death OF his saints.
The saints who die leave a benediction.
All things work together to those who
love the Lord. Accept this providence
from the hand OF God. Mark the perfect
man and mark the end, which is peace.
