RENO MINING man
LEADS DOUBLE
LIFE

RENO, Aug. 13.-William Mead,
vice president of the Lustre Mining
company, composed of some of the
principal business men of Reno, is,
according to the police, a business
man and mining promoter by daylight
and thief and scoundrel by might.
He is, in the eyes of the officers, llay-
ing the part of Dir. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde, and has been. acting the dual
parts until Sunday night, when ar
rested by the police in crib in the
tenderloin district. According to the
statements of the police, he has been
operating a panel robberdy scheme in
the tenderloin district, and has in. a
clever way, with the assistance of
four women brought to this city lrom
Denver, robbed scores of men visiting
that portion of the city.
When arrested last night Mead was
hiding in a narrow alleyway in the
rear of line of cribs occupied by the
women brought by him from Colorado
They had arranged the panels in the
rear doors of their rooms so that when
the men hung their clothing up Mead
could reach through the sliding pane
and remove the money and valuaDies
from the pockets of the mans cloth
ing. 1t is stated by the officers that
Mead has been carrying this thievinf
work on for months and that he has
secured hundreds of dollars from hi
victims. He had cunningly arranged
long tunnel-like shed in the rear OF
the six cribs occupied by the fou
women from Denver, and two othe
women in his power, and while tn'
victims were in the rooms he woul,
sneak along this passage way and rol
them. He would then hide in th'
passage way without fear of being dis
covered. He was just ent ring tn
place last cvnng when caught by tw
policemen.
Mead was connected with A. w Nc
Naughton. owner of valuable place
ground in Lassen county, Cal, an
was vice president of the sustre Min
ing and Manufacturing company. {
Il. Clough, one of the most promincn
business men of Reno, was also di
rector in the company. Mead ha
been engaged in several mining an
business d,hls in this city and his al
rest last night was great surprise t
his associates He was released ol
$40 bail w Police Judge Richardson

In Sparks Mr. Hartman stopped
only long enough to change engines.
He did not inspect the shops or the
service. His assistant, Julius hrutt-
schnitt attended to that branch or the

riman control the magnate has never
made detailed insection of the prop
critics he owns

What's Doing in
Rosebud
WEEKS DEVELOPMENT IN
THE MINES OF THE DISTRICT

From the Rosebud Mining News.
The remaining 250 sacs of ore have
been removed from the top to the
bottom of the hill, that they may be
in readiness for the freighters when
they return to camp Shipments will
go out steadily from this property
from now on. An extra force of men
is now busily engaged in trenching
above the point from where the ore
has been sacked to determine the AK
act course of the ore shoot. Tunnel
No. l is now in nearly $50 feet and
No. about 235 feet.
Durango Girl.
1t is understood that force of men
will be working on the big ore crop
ping of this recently incorporated
company in the very near future, and
some sensational developments are
looked for in the first round of shots.
Rosebud Rather.
Crosscutting the big 30-foot ledge
still continues on this promising prop
erty, and indications are that the
workmen are nearing the footwall,
where the rich ore shoot, cropping on
the surface, will probably be en-
countered.
Dreamland
The upper shaft is now down 80
feet, which leaves 20 feet yet to be
sunk before shipments commence to
go out from the property. The ore
shoot has been proven up for dis
tance of 80 feet northeasterly from
the shaft, the rich mineral being ex-
posed along the course by stripping.
Golden Anchor.
The drift from the tunnel has now
reached a point 80 feet in and the
values are increasing daily. When
the rich gold ore shoot is reached, l65
feet of stopping ground will have been
acquired. The Golden Anchor is the
only mine in the district in which the
gold predominates; in fact, very little
silver values have ever been obtained
Springfield.
Developments on the Springfield
adjoining the townsite, still contin
ues, and very promising ledge is be
ing exploited. A bond and lease ha
been given by the Spencer brother
and the favorable showing will M
doubt result in the bond being pai'
and the claims taken up in the nea
future

LECTURE ON THE HOLY
LAND WAS INTERESTING

The lecture on "The Holy Land,
Fl. Greenfield in the NJ. E. church, was
listened to by an appreciative audi
ence. The lecture was illustrated by
Tower of the Battle Mountain NJ. f..
church manipulating the picture ma
chine. The subject is one which never
fails to interest the Christian, and
Rev. Greenfield prC sented the matters
spoken of in most admirable manner.
Those who failed to take advantage
of the rare opportunity of attending
pictured lecture on "The Holy
Land' certainly missed something
that must cause many of them regret.

Reno is the paradise, the Utopia of

of the peace down there who will let

When they find it tough in other

President Roosevelt is pro-

The committee on banking
of the House of Representa-
tives has turned down Secre-
tary Shaw's plan for currency
reform in a most unfeeling
way. For not content with
refusing to adopt the Shaw
plan, the committee proposes
legislation which Shaw deem
ed unscientific and INSULT
cient. The plan reported by
the Republican majority Of
the committee permits every
national bank to issue credit
currency in the sum of $37,-
500 for every 500, 900 of it's
capital. AS the people will
be expected to take these
unsecured credit notes, for
the poorest money always
falls into the pockets of the
people and the best, such as
gold or gold certificates, is
boarded by the banks, there
should be a strong protest
against this special legislation
for the benefit of the big
national banks and especially
the Wall street contingent.
With the currency in circu.
lation already increased over
so per cent, there is no need
of further imitation. For it
must be remembered that in
lation of the currency al
ways advances the price OF
commodities and the cost of
living is already too high.
