THE InFERnll WEATHER
More Snow and Cold and sIush and
S'eet and General Mix-up Of the
Elements

Carsonites who looked out of tha
window this morning we're astonished
to sea snow fakes about the size of
autumn leaves coming down to beat
the band. 1t is estimated that for
every fake that fell some one uttered
a cuss word to go with it.
The weather sharps, however. who
consulted their barometers were not
astonished as they had fallen below
any point in the month.
Fosters forecast, is here given for
the benefit of anyone who is now
ready to believe anything about the
weather and Foster is about as good
as anyone when no one believes any
body relative to such an uncertain
quantity as Nevada in March.
He predicts another disturbance
due to cross the country reaching the
Pacific Coast tday Well it is GER
tainly here.
Then will follow warm wave and
a cool wave will hit us about the 27
Another storm is due on the 31st,
and April 1st will be cool. No fur
ther information has been received
at this Office for April.

q small smelter at the mine site some
time in the future. Besides the 800
acres occupied by the sixteen claims

THE TAHOE DAM

The Lake Tahoe dam is all right
and there is never the slightest dan
ger that it will go out. 1t is the SAT-
est of all the dams that could be
erected anywhere in the neighbor-
hood.
A rumor gained currency during
the flood that this dam was in dan
ger. 1t was started by someone who
knew nothing about it. The lake it.
self is back of the dam and there
could be nothing but a gradual rise in
the lake, great body of water 1t
would take months, too, to draw the
water out of the lake, even if a break
should by any possibility occur.
All this was explained by Reclama-
ton Engineer L. H. Taylor three
years ago, who showed at the time
why it would make no difference if it
did go out.

ANOTHER RAMSEY STRIKE

Sensational Values

A telegram received in this city

valus in gold and some silver. The
big dixie continues on it's pitch and is
Of unknown width. The streak also

gold and 16 ounces in silver and is
wider than the shaft, just how wide
has not yet been determined as the
strike was made last evening and but
two shifts have been at work on t

Ramsey is wildly excited and hold
ers of stock in this city refuse to put
price on their shares. The stock
is held in Carson City, Goldfield,

A SENSELESS ARGUMENT

people Of Nevada have in a great
measure to thank Francis c. New

The above assertion will cause q

solely to the idea that the library is
a private Republican snap instead OF
a public non-partisan utility.

GOLDF|ElD LABOR TROUBLES
SETTLED
The Miners Union no Longer Affiliate
With the industrial Workers Of
the World

The Appeal has been unable to
give much news from the Goldfieli
situation Of late as the wires have
been down and no mail has been re-
ceived from that section with any
regularity.
The matter was finally left to vote
and the events which led to the final
vote came about as follows
At the l. w. w. meeting the min
er's of Goldfield asserted their rights,
and in spite of the various methods
brought to bear to defeat their object
The decision to leave the question TO
a referendum vote prevailed. But this
was only after several hours, in
which the discussion reached fever
heat.
The hall was packed, not vacant
place anywhere. When the main
question of the meeting was called for
discussion miner arose and made a
motion tnat the miners hold meetings
separate from the l. w. W., stating
that the organization had grown to
such an extent that the wishes OF the
Miners Union were not even consid-
cred. Vincent st. John stated that
the motion was entirely out Of order,
as it was against the constitution Of
the l. w. W., and Dan Roudebush,
who was in the chair, ruled against
the consideration of the question.
Another miner stated that it was
not the intention to withdraw from
any union, but the miners considered
they had right to hold their meet
ings separate.
Donnelly. one of the apostles of St.
John, who was the picture of bellige.
rency, with fire in his eye and big
six-shooter in his belt, declared that
those who were asking for separate
meetings were agents of the mine
owners. Robert Randall. another o.
the breed. backed these statements
and both speakers were greeted with
Kisses. st. John, who again spoke

Roudebush put the question to a vote

fuel supply generally has improved
and that with two or three days OF
fair weather it would soon be in good

Spirit Of Compromise Governed
Negotiations of General

by Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 12.-After daily nego-
tlations which have lasted several
weeks. western railroads today de-
cided To give locomotive engineers in
creased wages aggregating between
$5,000.000 and S6.00O.000 annually.
The Increase viii affect between 49,
600 and 10000 engineers on all roads

The advance will apply to all
classes of engineers sOn passenger
trains the engineers will receive IA
fve-cent increase on a hundred mile

crease will range between eight and
twelve cents per hundred miles. in
all the larger freight yards the switch
engineers will receive additions OF
from to 20 cents day withs the as
sufance that they Will not be kept out
more than twelve hours
Apparently the spirit of compro-
mise governed the negotiations. for
the engineers have practically agreed
to give up their contention for an
day with respect to being credited
with a run of one hundred miles for
each eight hours--have abandoned de-
mands regarding pay for overtime and
viii not insist an the original demand
with regard to sight competency of
engineers. The switch engineers were
refused an allowance Of time and one
half for overtime in excess Of two
hours.
This is the first time in railroad his

he joint demand was first made the
railroads refused to treat with the en-
sineers as whole, preferring to deal

was firm, however, in his refusal to
'onfer with the railroads except as
whole. The railroads finally agreed to
