King Alfonso is most carefully guarded at night. For four centuries the slumbers of successive sovereigns of Spain have been watched all night by the Monteras de Espinosa, body of men to whom is relegated the ex- elusive privilege of guarding their monarch from sunset to sunrise. They must have an honorable military career and be natives of the town of Espinosa.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Prosperity Not Good For the Army.

(Springheld Republican,
 A year or two more of prosperity would probably have finished the Unit ed States army, Four months ago it was short 17.OOO men, and since then it has lost 5000 more. At the 5000 rate every four months, the end of the en- listed man was only a matter of a comparatively short period. Recruit ing officers must have watched the fin- ancial panic with interest, and they will note carefully the reductions by the railroads of their working staffs.

Edinburgh has some queerly named streets, among which are Jacobs Lad der, Gabriels Ladder, Coffin lane, and Cuddy lane. It is, however. in the "close" that this ancient city figures best. There are, for Instance, Hole in the Wall close, Little Jack and Big Jack close, Lady Staire, Heave-Away and Long closes. The last is one of the shortest of these, and in that re- sembles Crooked and Turnagain lanes in London, the former being as straight as die and the latter so aar- row that vehicle in it can not pos sibly tufn again.

A new bayonet and also new sword have been decided on for the English army, but it is not known when they will replace the present regulation weapons. The sword Is designed for thrusting, and will be long, straight and narrow, after the pattern of the napier. The bayonet, too, will be long and thin, so as to give it's wielder good reach. It was said some time ago that the days of .long-range fighting had made the bayonet almost obsolete, but the Rus so-J Japanese war proved that hand-to hand fighting has by no means been relegated to the past.

JUDGE lgAxoNE's VIEWS
ON TIE LABo1 SITUATION
*+$*%+*+++*+*++s

Judge Booth NJ. Malone. for many
years upon the district bench of Denver.
and known throughout the country for
his high and courageous professional
standing and personal probity. is one of
Goldfeld's many visitors this week.
Judge Malone expresses the deepest re-
greet that conditions in Goldfield are
under the pail of labor troubles, as he
says the east was preparing to swarm
into this district in regular droves this
spring and summer, and that such trou-
bles as those through which we are
passing are all that could have pre-
vented the greatest boom in Goldfield
this season, ever known in mining his
tory. However, he expresses the belief
that the investing public will have all
the more assurance of stability of values
and safety of interests when the trou-
bles are finally settled and will put more
money than ever into Southern Nevada
when it is realized that the labor situa-
ton is well under the control of the
safe and conservative element both
among employers and employees.
Don't settle this dispute until 1t is
settled right and settled for all time"
is Judge Malone's advice.

CHUHN DRILLS Are IN
suCCEssFuL USE AT ELY

The use of churn drills is becoming
a common sight at Ely, and there are
numerous companies that are now en-
ploying this method of prospecting their
possessions. M. M. Johnson says that
utilization of the churn drill is simplify
ing the process of searching at depths
for precious metals, and at the same
time is extremely economical. This
process costs about SO a foot while to
sink a shaft to a corresponding depth
would cost anywhere from SIS to $50 a
foot.
AS for Ely, Mr.. Johnson states that
too much can not be said regarding the
properties there. The recent strike of
ore in the Alpha shaft at a depth of
1000 feet has demonstrated to everyone
familiar with the same that Ely values
extend to great depths.
The value of the ores being found on
all sides with depth easily establishes
the camp as a high grade district as
well as a milling one. The town OF Ely
is growing like a mushroom. states Mr..
Johnson. On all sides n hears the
click of the hammers, and lots that
have passed hands recently as many
times as five nave raised in value $1,000
each time. Some lots that cost Mr..
Johnson 5000 a short time ago are now
worth $1,000.

CALIFORNIA STUDENTS
VISIT THE BIo CAMP

A party of sixty students from the
University of California arrived in
Goldheld Wednesday night to look over
the big mines in this district. The
students who are taking the mining
course at the university were in charge
of Carl Frey. They stopped off at Tono-
pah and were k through the big
mines at tina place. including the fam
Gus Mizpah. Unfortunately. owing to
the mines being closed here on account
of the labor trouble. they were unabl to
see any OF the big producers of the Gold
field district in operation. Secretary
Boyle of the Chamber of Commerce ten
dered the use of half a dozen automo-
biles to take the young collegians around
the various mines but the offer was de-
clined with thanks by Mr.. Frey who
thought the boys could obtain a better
idea of the ground and study it's mineral
character to better advantage by tramp
ing it. Accordingly the whole party
started out early Thursday morning,
armed with prospector's picks and ore
sacks. They spent the entire day exam
ming the lodges and picking up sam
pies Of rock on the surface. They de-
parted for home Thursday night, well
pleased with their visit

PUTTING ELEcTRIcITY INTO
THE YERIN0TON DISTRICT

After long delay the Truckee River
General Electric company, which is to
furnish power to the mines of the YER
ington district. has poles on the ground
for it's transmission line from Como to
Yerington and assurance is given that
the line will be completed in 80 days.
New equipment for the Nevada Douglas
mine is arriving fast, it is said, and the
electric compressor and hoist are ex-
pected to be in readiness by the time
the power is available. The company's
pipe line for its water supply is already
in the ground.
The Douglas deep tunnel has been run
rs feet in ore which runs from II to
II per cent copper the general average
for the last 20 feet being 10 per cent.
The ore is mixed as to carbonates n
sulphides, with the sulphides increasing
in width. A winze is being SUM In the
ground to open the ore at greater depth.
The Hastings accompaniment shaft.
near the tunnel portion, is being sunk
on q strong assure to water level.
There is three feet Of ore in the shaft.

POWER FOR SOUTHERN M

is being prosecuted vigorously.
~Our first appropriation approximates
20 600 miners inches, equal to a run of
500 coo. 900 gallons of water every -
hours. Besides this. We have three sep
arate appropriations. which in a run Of
nine miles gives US n fall of LOO feet,
equivalent to Ifs,500 horse power. We
have stnl another appropriation OF U.s.
600 inches on Butte creek at It's confu-
ence with Feather river. We have at
command an estimated soc. 600 horse
power.
some time ago we submitted our
nronosition to the city of San Francisco.
II was to be considered along with four
other proposals to furnish water. on the
day of the earthquake. Later. however,
for various conclusive reasons. we with
drew our proposition.
"At the present time some of the most
gigantic combinations of capital In the
world nave the purchase of our appro-
priations under consideration, and a deal
NAV be closed any day. If you stop to
consider the enormous creative water
mower which we have levied upon, you
will understand that 1t is a matter for
only large financial interests to handle.
II means the solution of all mining VEN
lures for a distance of 800 miles from
the source of supply. Rhyolite, the
Bullfrog district, Goldfield. Tonopah.

Nevada will be tributary to the power
generated at our plant. Mines, FAC
tories. electric railroads. street car
systems, lighting plants-everything re-
curing power and electricity can be dis
tribute to these points within the
period of one year. Los Angeles Is
spending $2S. 900. 900 to bring water and
power from the Owens River valley.
Various corporations in Nevada are
looking to the S~ierras, but the appro-
priations now acquired by us is UNI
equaled in the United States, except
possibly Niagara"
Mr.. Phelan states that nearly all the
large interests figuring on the purchase
have in view the distribution of power
to Nevada, so that it is possible to sur
mise a strong corporation in the field

Joseph NJ. Kelly. the well known min
ing man. whose interests are largely
conferred in the Montezuma district, re-
turned this week from al extended east
ern trip on a mining deal. which. he
reports. was successfully co-nsummated.
Mr.. Kelly says that certain parts of the
East have been flooded by worthless
mining shares. issued by eastern fake
promoters. who claim to own property
in Goldfield. Many of these companies
no one ever heard of out here. according
to Mr.. Kelly. and they are swindles pure
and simple. This makes 1t hard for a
man with a legitimate proposition to
float it in these sections where the
fakes have operated.
Mr.. Kelly has returned to make his
home in Goldheld and is building q resi-
dence on Sundog avenue. He will later
be visited by a number OF St. Louis
bankers and business men,

The possibility Of q gigantic combina-
ton Of capital being organized soon Tor
the purpose of developing a great water
power in the Sierra Nevadas may be re-
allied in the neal future. Such an or
ganization will mean the solution OF the
power problem in southwestern Nevada
and the contiguous California mineral
and desert territory.
A gentleman who has given the ques-
ton of power much thought during the
past ten years and who, foreseeing vast
possibilities in the hitherto Unknown
desert regions and the in-ter-mounta!n
regions of Nevada and California, has
taken the initiative in acquiring water
rights in the snow-capped Sierras.
T.. F. PheIan has strong convictions
that the central cities of California,
and especially San Francisco. would in
the near future be compelled to seek the
fountainhead of water supply-the
Sierra Nevada mountains-for domestic
use and power purposes. Mr.. Phelan' In
conjunction with a hydraulic engineer of
national repute. began a systematic In
vestigation and survey of the Sierras.
In due time they acquired. by rights OF
appropriation, a main source of supply
under the la Gaping of Mount Lassen'
Lassen county. California, followed by
the acquisition of an immense basin In
Big Meadows. where the water comes to
the surface in numerous flowing springs
From this basin the water seeks a great
gorge called the north fork OF the
Feather river, and in a run OF Il miles
many appropriations of water rights
nave been secured, and tunnels. canals
and acaueducts constructed. so that
there is now an estimated delivery OF
300, 900 horse power under control,
enough to supply every mining camp.
hamlet n factory in the state or Ne
yada and central California.
"Our company is known as the North
ern Sierra Power and Water company,
with a capitalization of 100000 shares
par value $685." remarked Mr.. Pheian.
N stock has been sold but we have ex-
pended a large sum In development
work, constructing canals, acqueducts
and tunnels, in maps and surveys. we
have also a subsidiary company, known
as the Sunset Power & Water company.
