SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
Illiteracy Prevails There TO a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 2O,cc9000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 80 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write. but
the remaining 62H per cent. are abb
soiute illiterates. In the south of
Spain 1t is impossible to get serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the pcstmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
de CT letters to house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Cor which he thinks
Gre) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not raid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount Of their correspondence. and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t Is a joke among
the oasy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letter3-whcther they are IT,
tended for him CT not.

NEVADA LEGISLATORS
TAKE CITY BY STORM
Special Train Carrying Entire Legislature and State
Officers Arrived Yesterday Noon and are
Taking in the Sights of Live
Mining Camp

Friday, February sth. was a red.
crimson, scarlet day in the history of
Goldfield in general and the Monte
yuma club in particular. For that day
and a portion of the next the seat of
government was removed from staid old
Carson City, with its shady groves it's
ripping streams, it's culture and it's
exclusiveness to a mad and merry Gold
field. where nature does not smile, but
where 1t holds open it's treasure boxes
and bids the world welcome to come
and be made millionaires.
His Excellency, Governor Sparks and
staff. the state officials, the senate. the
assembly, their families and other peo-
pie and their families thronged a spec
ial train provided for them by the Gold
field boosters, known technically as the
Chamber of Commerce.
Held by wreck ahead of it near Nina,
the special did not arrive until nearly
noon. At the depot was caravan of
automobiles and carriages in which the
two hundred visitors were wisked to
the Montezuma club, where hospitality
was dispensed so lavishly that it sati-
ated. The spacious halls was dedicated
to the Monteznmas were ablaze with in
candescents shaded in the national tri-
color. Flags waved everywhere. Wist-
eria was festooned about columns and
chandeliers. There-was the scent of hot
house flowers on the air, and this in
the midst of a vast desert where even
the sagebrush does not thrive.

Half an hour was required for the
registration of names of the guests and
general handshake all around, for
everybody either knew everybody else
or was shortly made acquainted.
Then the Tonopah brass band struck
up lively air and conversation lulled
for a moment, but there was no cessa-
ton of the music, for the Goldfield or
chestra Immediately responded, and
thus the wind and string Instruments
succeeded each other until w. j. Brewer
called for silence. He welcomed the
Legislature and other visitors in elo-
quent language and called upon Former
Lieutenant Governor Hunt of Idaho for
an address. The latter was in good voice
and after reiterating the welcoming
words of the chairman, he spoke earn
estly of the needs OF Goldfield and the
entire desert country. the most press
ing of which is a reasonable freight
tariff, which would enable the mine
owner to ship ore that now is thrown
over the dump.

of uniformed walters served the guests,

The announcement was then made
that none of the visitors should spend

William Goodrich, who is superintend

out any ore except that encountered in
development work.
There is practically no trading in the
securities of either company, the owners
holding the stock for dividends. The
treasures are in good shape and the
treasury stock has been withdrawn from
the market.
An interesting feature of this double
strike is that the ore body, apparently
the same as that encountered in the
string of rich leases on claim No. of
