MONEY is
VERY SCARCE
S=ar g all Players in Gold
field and Many Are
Stranded

A private letter was received from
Goldfield last evening from one OF the
members of the Capital ball team who
ioined the forces of the GOldtieid
nine a couple of weeks ago. He stated
that he was stranded in the town
and while the league owed him $40
he was unuab.e to collect the same.
The same state of affairs exists eX-
lists with the other players and sew
eral of the boys who were imported
into that camp to strengthen the
team are unable to get out and ac-
cordng to the letter a square meal
is something to look aheaa to in the
future.
This seems depiOrable state OF
conditions in a camp heralded as the
richest in the world. Both the teams
Of Tonopah and Carson City have
been paid in full and none of the boys
left here with cent owing them
even though the managers were
| forced to go in debt to do it. We ue
| not think that the blame should RESI-
| on Goldfield as a camp, but upOr
some one individual who has evident
" "copped" the coin belonging to the
boys.

CARSON CITY
AND NEVADA
Looks Mighty Good to
Guy Spencer, a For
mer Resident

Guy Spencer. a former we'll known
resident Of this city, and wife arrived
in this city yesterday from Los An
g. les, where ne has been enjoying a
vacation for several weeks. Guy is
now located in the southern camps
where he is interested in several
promising mining ventures and stands
n line to make a fortune. -
In speaking of things in general,
MIR. Spencer has the following to say
about Carson City and the State of
Nevada:
You can all talk about your eli
mate of California and the beautiful
city of Los Angeles. l went to the
latter place with an idea that l might
Duy a home there and take up my res
idence in the City Of Angels. But
none for me. have been all over Cal
iforlia during tn pleasure trip and
l would rather have my little cabin on
the outskirts Of Goldfeld than fine
residence in Los Angeles.
Not that the latter place is not a
beaut full and booming city, but just
because Nevada is the only place to
live on earth when it comes to eli
mate and the class of people you have
to deal with. 1t seems funny to me
and the only thing l can attribute it
to is the desert or some propos ton
OF that kind, but the minute a man
hits this state and gets into mining
he changes from one end to the other
and while he stays here he IS a first
rate fellow. but the minute he leaves
here he goes back to his original
character and simply isn't the same
man.
Carson is the finest spot IN the
whole country and here is where YOU
find me and my little home just as
soon as l get my business straighten
ed out in the southern country That
country is all right to live in, but al
| the present time you cannot get the
needed accommodations and when
you leave that part of the state
for place OF residence If you are
wise you will come to this city. builo
your home and enjoy the right kint
of life
Mr.. Spencer and wife will remain il
this city several days as the guests

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. = =
Santa Fe, in conjunction with the
Tonopah and Tidewater railroad, is
preparing to open up to California
shippers in competition with those
sending from Salt Lake and other

We are figuring on traffic propo-

When the scheme is perfected it will
be submitted to the interstate com

Friction Ham,
perS Progress

TONOPAH, Aug. 2.-The friction
between the Southern Pacific and
the Mono Lake Railroad Company
over the route and right OF way Of
the latter road, is still hampering the
construction OF the Mono Lake road.
About FIVE miles OF new road have
been built, but fifty miles more OF
track are necessary to make connec-
tions with the Nevada and California
Railroad. Running rights have been
secured, professionally, over the latter
road as far as Tonopah Junction.
Meanwhile work ON the Mono road is
suspended pending a conference with
Southern Pacific officials relative to
the route of the new track to be built
OF the N. and c.
The lumber mill at Mono Lake has
been remodeled and it's capacity in
creased to $4,000 feet day, and the
35-nile logging road which feeds the
mill is being extended several miles
farther into the timber. When com
pleted the Mono Lake ra lrOad will
assist materially in solving the lum
Der and wood problem which are al
ways of vital Importance in South

Papers were fled with County Clerk
Patterson yesterday asking the trus-
tees to grant a franchise to an oppo-
sition telephone company in this city.
They ask for permits TO string
wires in the streets and alleys of this
city and to do a first-class telephone
business. They also guarantee that
they will connect this city with the
towns of the coast and the principal
cities Of the State of Nevada.
1t Is understood that the company
is backed by the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the City OF
Salt Lake. The same company has
asked for franchise IN the city of
Reno and will proceed throughout
the principal towns of the state.
This is the second company that
has asked for franchise in this city

the former request was presented to

man will be declared innocent. as
there are no witnesses who actually
saw the shooting.
The opinion of the supreme court,
written by justice Sweeney and con-
Cured in by the full court. grants the
new trial specifically on the grounds
that the lower court erred in it's in
structions to the Jury.
STORY OF ThE SHOOTING.
According to the story about

him with the apparent intention of
shooting when he pulled his gun and
shot once and then as Mor.tz fell to
the ground shot the second time. No
one witnessed the rtagedy, but the
phwSicians testified that the story
told b. ,jachman was not true owing
TO the course Of the bullets in the
dead man.
! WHERE TIE COURT ERRED.
! Jackmans plea for the murder was
self-defense and among other wit
nesses he introduced ii demi-monde
named Myrtle Smith, who testified
that about an hour before the murder
Mcritz had remarked in her presence
chat he was going to kill Jackman, ac-
co.npanying the threat with a vile
oath. The threat was never communi-
Gated to Jackman and hence the
court gave an instruction which
state that the jury, because he
threat never was communicated.
should not consider it. Following was
the instruction of the court
Threats. however deliberately
made, do not justify an assault and
battery, much less the taking of the
life OF the party making them. and

communicated to the defendant

The minutes passed. The dancers talked in
subdued tones which scarcely disturbed the
nightingales, A breeze rustled the crisp leaves
of the orange trees and myrtle hedges; far
away the voice of the Waterman told the hour
of eleven, echoed by the Ginning bells of a
church clock; and the last stroke had not
sounded when there was burst of merry voices
in distant avenue. Carnona and his friends
had come.-late, of course, or there could have
been Andalusians among them-and sud-
denly. as if on signal, the gardens pulsed with
rose colored light. In the pink blaze | saw
Monica, slender and fair as a lily, in white

time to see that she walked beside Carmona,
when the rose flame died down and left
the garden pure and peaceful under the

Old ebony chairs with crimson velvet
cushions and the Carmona arms in heavy

Feeling sure that the bill had already been

find none. The sum involved was large and
she sought Swedenborg and asked him to hunt
up her husband in the world of spirits and
ascertain whether the debt had been settled.
Three days later, when she was entertaining
some friends, Swedenborg called and in the
most matter of fact way stated that he had
had conversation with Marteville. and had
learned from him that the debt had been can

At once all present hurried to the bureau,
and there, in the private compartment which

In similar fashion did Swedenborg relate to
the Queen of Sweden, Louisa Urica, the sub
stance of the last interview between her and
her dead brother, the Crown Prince of Prussia,
interview which had been strictly private,
and the subject of which, she affirmed. was
such that no third person could possibly have
known what passed between them.
