LABOR SAVING DEVICE

Harry G. Diffenbaugh of Goldfield
is the inventor of a device, the pat
ent for which has recently been ap-
piled for, which bids fair to be of
great interest to operators, for the
reason that it is said to do away with
the work of top men,"
The appliance is connected with the
hoisting plant, and the work of dump.
ing the bucket into the car, running
the car out to the end of the dump
or to the ore bin, and there in turn
dumping it and running the empty
car back to the shaft, is all done by
the engineer who controls levers gov
erning the entire. mechanism.
A working model of this contriv
ance has been built in Los Angelo!
and will shortly make its appearance
at Goldfeld where it will be givel
a practical working test.

AFTER THE FIGHT FAkIRS

A test case by ticket buyers for the
fake Burns-O' 'Brien prizefght to re-
cover their money from the promoters
of the fiascO, is to be made in the
case of J. G.. Forest against the Pa
cific Athletic club and its manager,
Tom McCarey, filed in Justice Steph-
ems court in Los Angeles.
The complaint is an unsuspicious-
looking document, merely reciting
the allegation that the defendants are
indebted to. the plaintiff in the sum
of $50 and asking an order of the
court for the return Of the money.
In reality the $50 represents the
amount of money that Forest paid
for tickets to the alleged heavy
weight championship fight, the fake
of which was exposed in the confes-
sion Of the principals and the man
ayers of the affair the day after it
was pulled off. Forest contends that
| the money was paid on false repre-
, sensations and that the fight as
| scheduled was not brought about
Should he succeed in obtaining
| judgment for the amount of his tick
ct money, dozens of other similar
| suits will De at nee filed against the
Athletic club.

THE BiNGUMS AGAIN
The Lyon County Times Exposes a
Couue Of Fakirs

Recently the Reno Journal lashed
itself into a fit of brain storms charg-
ing the Appeal with having stolen
some news items from the Journal
without credit. The offense was regard
ed as SO henious by the Journal that
it threatened. with uplifted finger, to
cut the Appeal off it's exchange list.
The Appeal was naturally very much
frightened and nervous over the pub
lie scolding it got from those Bingums
of Reno and now comes the Lyon
County Times and asserts that the
items referred to were originally stOl
en- from the Lyon County Times and
published under a teiegraphic head
having first appeared in the Times
and never sent over the wire.
SO it happens that all this noise
was merely to humbug the people o
Reno into the idea that the Journa
had paid a lot of good money fo
those same stolen dispatches. Th'
whole fake was exploded by th'
Times in good shape. AS hot al
artists those Bingums are certainl

RENO IS CERTAINLY
A STRENUOUS CITY

In looking over the local papers OF
Reno one reaches the conclusion that
times are indeed strenuous in that
city.
Mrs. Holtzlander's body was found
floating in the Truckee and the police
don't know whether she suicided or
her husband killed her.
A robber, whose name is unknown,
hit a Chinaman over the head with a
revolver and killed him. No clew to
the slayer.
Box car thieves shoot police Off
Ger and make good their escape.
Cecil Powers goes into a leading
restaurant in the city and assaults
girl, bea,-ng her all over the restau-
rant ana wounding a society lady,
name not mentioned, in the melee.
Man named Roberts was knocked
down by some negroes in an alley
and robbed.
These are just the little rackets
which the newspapers picked up in
days rumaging bout the town. Reno
is certainly the liviliest camp in the
state.

PUBLISHES A STATEMENT
OF ITS RESOURCES

At the last session OF the legisla-
ture a bill was introduced providing
that all mining companies with stock
for sale should publish under oath,
an annual statement of their receipts
and expenditures.
This bill passed the senate almost
unanimously, but was killed in the
house The bill was intended to
make men who run wildcat mines
tell where the money went which
they got out of the stockholders.
1t was bill to weed out the wild
cats, but the wildcatters were able
to secure good parliamentary talent
on the floor of the house and beat
one of the best measures ever in
troduced in a Nevada legislature.
The opponants Of the bill said that
the bill compelled people TO reveal
their private business.
That's just where the shoe pinched.
The business Of robbing the public
was the business that was being
shown up and the men engaged in
that sort Of work naturally did not
want it made public. SO the old
Swindiing game goes on. It was urged
by the friends of the bill that no
honest mining company would ever
object to publishing its statements.
Now as matter Of fact many min
ing companies are publishing their
statements for the benefit Of the
stockholders. The honest companies
are doing this because they are real
izing that it pays to do this and il
creates confidence.
The Goldyke Mining company has
! just published a statement of its re
sources. its expenditures and assets
and liabilities and tells all of its
business to it's stockholders. VIII,

1t is hard to say what the outcome

that the work OF erecting the building
