ANCELEN0S HAVE
HOT COMPETITION
TWO RIVALS IN THE NEVADA
MARKET -
Advises Merchants to Be Wide Awake
While Rich RhyoIite District Is
opening-Railway Lets
San Francisco In

Douglas White, editor of the Arrow
head magazine, returned yesterday
from a trip to Rhoylite and the south
ern Nevada mining camps with the 200
members Of the Los Angeles and Salt
Lake excursions. When seen by
Herald representative Mr. White had
the following to say of the mining
country:
IF there is any part of the country
capable of offering purser for big prize
fights 1t is the Nevada mining district.
In Rhoylite there are twenty produc-
ing Mines 1900 miners on an aggregate
payroll of $150,O00, and five banks with
total deposits of more than million
and half of dollars.
There are more thtl 5000 peopla In
the Bullfrog district and the average
wage is So per day. Prices are high,
but the fact that three railroads VIII
be completed into the camp within
the next sixty days speaks we'll for the
future cost of living.
During my visit there | was .aken
through some of the priacipal mines.
In the new workings of the Original
Bullfrog l asked a miner for speci-
men. He picked up a sledge and
knocked a bit of rock off of the work
point of the tunnel and passed 1t up TO
me. Carried to the light, the free gold
in the quartz showed plainly. rms
was the mine which caused the nrst
rush to the Bullfrog district, and there
are still richer properties In the newer
parts OF the district.
LAS the market now stands practlcal-
ly all the supplies for the southern Ne
vada mines are shipped out from Los
Angeles and Salt Lake. The Saints
and Angels both take this business as
a matter of course, but with the open
ing of the new roads from the north
into the country there will be a new
factor in the competition, as San Fran
cisco merchants are alive to the pos
sibiities.
taLIno orders in Rhyolite for deliveries
after the opening of the road south
from Goldfeld, and unless the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
and the chamber Of commerce take up
the question of Rhyolite and the other
Nevada camps there will be great
field lost to them"

YOUNG WOMEN

SHOW THEIR PROFICIENCY IN
DOMESTIC ARTS
Plans for Y. w. C. A. Building Propose
Large Structure, with Many Capa-
cious Rooms and All Latest
Improvements

The exhibit held yesterday afternoon
and evening in the large auditorium
of the Young Womens Christian as
sociation from 4 10 10 o'clock was of
special interest to women. The entire
exhibit was the work of pupils in the
different study classes. These exhibits
occur semi-annually, at the close of
each term. The work is planned for
busy women, some whose opportunities
for education have been handicapped
by the earning of a livelihood, others
whose broader education has left no
place for the development of the do
mestic arts and sciences. The studies
comprise languages, bookkeeping, type
writing, drawing, music, sewing, cook
ing, millinery, elocution, physical cul-
ture, literature.
The first sight upon entering the
exhibit was a showcase containing
many dainty and tempting dishes;
flowers, rare fruit and vegetables
buried in gelatin, fluffy pies, salads
and candies prepared by the students
of the cooking class, which probably
attracted as much attention as the
excellent millinery. Shirt waists and
dainty undergarments also showed
what the ambitious girl after day s
work, can accomplish in a few hours
of consecrated endeaVor. Two espe-

made by a young woman who works
from in the morning until at night.
The art classes show pretty water
| colors, drawings and several very at
! tractive posters, especially those call
ing attention to the Spanish lessons.
The cramped quarters has hindered
work in all departments. but the young
women of the institution expect to
have a new building soon which will
accommodate all its branches.
The plans for the proposed new as
sociation home provide for a six STORY
building of reinforced concrete, which
will contain offices, library, reading
and writing rooms, gymnasium, dining
rooms and kitchen, club, class, board
and committee rooms, rest rooms and
all the equipment necessary to properly
house the large and growing family
of young women, now more than 400(
strong. The entire ground floor of the
new building will be given up to dining
room and kitchen in the effort to make
adequate provision for the 1000 to 1906
young women who daily lunch at the
association. This floor will be -four
feet below the level of the street, the
entrance being down a few feet from
the pavement. A splendid open cour
will occupy the center of the building
giving abundant light and air to al
rooms In this open patio will grow
palms and ferns with oVerhanging win

Chicago, who for the past two weeks
has been out on bail under charge or

Yesterday when attorneys examined
the case they found that the papers
from Nevada had been issued prac-

to hold Mr.. Almy longer would be
absurd. He was notified OF the dis
