The department of labor and commerce has been set to work at the
task of providing new markets abroad for American products, and inves-

Secretary of State Root has temporarily settled the tariff differ

the treaty of reciprocity, which will be submitted to the next session of
Congress. The secretary is also about to enter into negotiations with
France and China for the determination of commercial relations.

sensitive as a hot house plant, as st ob be witnessed in San Francisco. The
banks there have shut down upon loans, and are calling in their out

by the banks. But this does mo- make these securities worthless. They

phase of the land agitation in the
congested districts of Ireland Is taxi

holders Of grazing farms on the
eleven months lease system and is
developing with great rapidity and
Kings county and North Tipperary
are the centers of rioting. In by
gone days the cities saw many evlc-
lions and today the peasants are de-
termined that the land shall be re-
distributed to all holders. Reports
are received daily of the gathering of
large bands of peasants who destroy
gates and fences and clear grazing
ranches of cattle, which they drive
back over miles of country to the
farms of wners. In two cases men
who had leased a ranch were com

DECORATE GRAVES
Of SOLDIER DEAD
IMPOSING ARRAY IN LINE TO
PERFORM BEAUTIFUL
CEREMONY.

The Grand Army of the Republic
and the Veterans of the Spanish
War paid tribute to the soldier dead
yesterday, and they were aided in
their sad duty by the fraternal or
CARNATIONS of the city, by the women
and the school children, and by the
members of the Western Federation
of Miners.
There was a parade in the morn
ing, and it was a most creditable
turnout for all concerned. Headed
by a platoon of mounted police which
was followed by the Tonopah band,
the procession wended its way from
In front of the Butler hall up Main
street to Cross avenue, to Florence
avenue, down to Main street and to
the cemetery.
There was an imposing array in
line, and the prettiest features of the
parade were the school children and
the miners. The latter were at least
500 strong. II was fitting that the
men who had toiled to make this
country should show their yenera-
ton of the men who had offered up
their lives to preserve the country
and its institutions. 1t was a fine
sight, too, to see the children in line
carrying flowers to the graves of the
departed heroes. There was much
food for thought afforded by the
sight. The fact that the children
ere thus employed will serve to
make upon their minds a deep and
lasting impression of the solemnity
of the occasion; and keep fresh in
their memories what they, as well as
the rest of the country owe to the
soldier dead.
At the cemetery the women and
the children aided in the distribution
of the flowers on the graves. and
then stood by while taps for the de-
parted we're sounded, and the fare
well shots were fired by the COM
rades of those who had answered the
call before them.

LOOKING TOWARD BETTER CONDITIONS.

In the face of a stock market with the bottom completely out of it,
Tonopah continues to pour out the biggest production from it's mines ever
known in the history of the camp. This might be put, conversely, to read:
notwithstanding that Tonopah and Godfeld are making shipments never
before equaled, and that the work of the mills is something phenomenal,
stocks are more Hfeless than ever.
There is no use of specializing IN a condition that already exists
There will have O be a mending of the prosperity Of the country before
we an look for better times. 1t makes little difference to the owners
of producing and shipping mines, what the price of their stocks may be.
As long as the money is coming out of the ground, what boots it
whether the price of stock be high or low? 1t is the smaller stock
holders who suffer, and the men, too, who have bought stock in a property
with the hope of it being developed into a mine, The companies who are
selling stock for the purpose of doing development work are hurt, be-
cause the selling has stopped.
The most direct cause of the slump can be traced to the labor
troubles of San Francisco 1t looks as though there would be nj market

U S FOR INSTANCE.

Lew Dockstader, the most eminent
comedian and minstrel on the Amer
lean stage today, is going to Tono-
pah. Some may ask: What has
that to do with the readers of this
paper? 1t has little to do, we con
fess, and is usde only for illustrative
purposes.
This is D~ockstader's first trip west
for five years. He is such a yalu-
able and much sought after show
man that he finds little time or OPP
portunity to leave the East. Yet this
nan can find time when he comes
West to go into Tonopah, which is
hundreds of miles from the line OF
the road which he travels on his way
to the Golden Gate. Why does he
do this in preference to going to
places much nearer to the transcon-
tinental line? The only answer is
that in Tonopah they have a manage
ment at the head of the theater who
is capable of approaching a good
thing in the theatrical line and who
feels that the best is none too good
for people of his town, 1t is not
that Tonopah is bigger, richer, or
its people more cultured than those
of other towns. 1t is simply a case
of enterprise and the ability to get
the best that is going for the patrons
of the theater.
The visit of Dockstader should be

WINGFIELD TAKES
AWAY HIGH-GRADE

RENO, May 25.-George Wing
field, the Nevada millionaire. took all
of the high-grade Mohawk ore, which
has been stored in the county Jail
for the past few months from the
jail and transferred it to the Wells
Fargo office. 1t will be sent this even
ing to the Selby smelter In Vallejo.
This ore was seized in Reno several
months ago by George Wingfeld and
Sheriff Ferret, having been stolen
from the mine, 1t was being shipped
to Selby's by Nelson brothers of
Goldfeld when seized here.
After Wingfeld gained possession
of the ore he was sued by Nelson
brothers who claimed they had pur-
chased the high-grade, but when the
case was called for trial Nelson
brothers failed to appear and the ore
was awarded to the rightful owner,
George Wingfeld.

mystery of the Death Valley tragedies
have all been cleared up. If his YER
sion is correct, a small band of blood
thirsty redmen are hidden away in
the wilds Of these mountain fastness-
es, who have never been conquered
by the white man. They are armed
and equipped and have for years
preyed upon the immigrants and
prospectors who have brayed that
region.
They have probably killed for all
of these years, and their victims have
been charged to the heat and priva-
tions of the desert.
Before being attacked by the wild
men Mr.. Eddy discovered a fortress
built of rough stone far up in the
mountains. In and about this fort
ress were fresh cartridge shells and
other evidences of recently deadly
comet.
Shortly afterward he was met face
to face by a warrior fully armed and
equipped for battle. The man, who
bore the face of a brute rather than
that of a human, was able to speak
broken English and addressed Mr..
Eddy's party in a few words:
This is the Indians country" he
said. THE white man has taken all
the rest; this is ours. We give you

PIPE BEING DELIVERED TO sup.
PLY THE POINTS ALONG
THE LINE.

RHYOLITE, New, May 30.-Work
upon the construction of the Ash
Meadows water system has started
and the surveying gang is RUNNING
the new pipe line while the seven car
loads of pipe that have been held a.
Amargosa are being delivered to the
supply points along the line.
Judge Ray, who is the Nevada rem.
r%esentative of the Pennsylvania firm
that is building the line, said in re-.
gard to the new operations: 1--WE are
trying to supply the one great need
of Nevada, and as we have ALREADY
LOO miners inches of water going
to waste without a bit of development
work having been done, there is no
reason why we should not be abba
to supply the country.
THE company has incorporated
for $5,000,0 900, and already has 81.
100000 in the treasury. This sum
should be sufficient to build the line
and the reservoir.
THE water that we will devotion
first will be hat sent to Greenwater.
as that camp is really suffering for
water, for the miners are forced to
pay from 81 to So for water that is
not of the best.
I'VE viii build a great storage res
ervoir at the top of the Funeral
range, somewhere near Eagle noun
tain, and from there the flow to the
outlying districts will be by gravity.
The reservoir will I've built to hold
IS, GOO, 600 gallons of water and will
be five miles from the main pump
ing station, which will be erected on
the Borax Smith road.
THE raise from the pumping plant
to the reservoir will be 1900 feet and
we will run 6-inch main in an effort
to prepare for any demands that may
be put upon us.
"At the present time all that south
ern Nevada needs is water. The
Homestake. the Mayfiower. the Goid
Bar, the Tramps, in the Bullfrog dis
trict, and the Inyo in the Lee dis
trict, are ready to mill, while three
custom smelters have been planned
for Rhyolite as soon as the water can
be supplied.
Our company will supply these
demands cheaper than water can be
developed on the separate company
properties. We will sell water to
large consumers at a rate better than
81 per thousand gallons.
I'm this way we can insure that
development of mills in the districts
supplied. as well as water for the
Death Valley Mines company's smell
ter will be erected at Ash Meadows
to handle the Greenwater ores.

cret hope of personal advantage
which they will gain from private
ownership. If for no other reason,
they should vote for the bond IS
sue because its success will insure
the immediate construction of the

can be no doubt, as more than fifty
letters have already been received
by the city from capitalists asking
for the privilege of buy ing the
bonds as soon as issued, and the
city has already engaged the ser
vices of competent and experience
ed waterworks and light engineer
to build the plant as speedily as
possible after the bonds are dispos-
ed of. On the other hand, if the
bond issue be defeated, the only
alternative will be to seek TO obtain
these vitality important improve

franchise to a private corporation.
The only offer for such is from a
street car syndicate that has never
built a waterworks system. and
which prefaces its petition for the
free gift of this franchise with the
statement that it will not accept it
