CURRENCY ON
THE T0WNS|TE
Yellow Backs aResuIar Crop.-frank
Nevin PIucks a $40 and Later
Learns Its An Ely City Habit.

In crowd at the Steptoe yester-
day, Frank Nevin told of the finding
of a $40 bill, real money. If you
have any suspicion that you are out
$40 by all means call on the gentle
man and make claim for a refund.
He will, of course, be glad to see ell
comers and doubtless in his large
ness of heart will pay out three or
four twenties just to make sure that
the real loser of this particular bill
is not left in the shuttle. Go early
to file your claim.
AS Mr.. Nevin related the story of
his find, he was driving a herd Of
cattle in from the range when he saw
the bill fluttering on lot close to
the edge of the townsite company
holdings. Dismounting he went war
lily over to the yellow back and gath
cred it in. How it came to be run
ming around loose in such an isolated
spot, Mr.. Nevin was unable to con-
ceive and expressed himself as puz-
zled to account for its presence there.
At this juncture an Ely City man
took hand.
"You are sure you found it on a
Townsite company LOTT"
Sure. Though it was pretty close
to the edge of the line"
Explanation is easy then. Money
grows on Townsite company lots.
They are regular producers of the
yellow back variety-real money.
Where you made mistake was in not
going on to lots further in, where you
would doubtless have found ripe bills
of larger denomination. Finding that
one showed that they were in bloom
and you ought to have got busy.
Next time you will know better, You
can save lot of trouble for your
self, though, if people come around
and want that $40 you did harvest
by just sending them out on the lots
10 gather up more on their own ac-
count. TheF will have to get out
early, however, for the Ely City peo-
pie are onto the proposition and go
out every morning just as the dew
is lifting AID gather in bills from the
lots the same as they gather
mushrooms in some parts of the
country. Great proposition over
here"
When Nevin caught his breath he
humbly asked what the house would
nave.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-William
Jennings Bryan and Charles F. Muir
ply returned to New York today
about the same hour, but they did
not meet. When each was asked if
he expected to see the other the la
comic reply was given that no ap-

there was no known reason why they
should meet for political discussion.
Bryan has been made aware that
both William j. Corners, chairman
of the Democratic state committee,
and Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany hall, are opposed to his
nomination for president next year
and that they are now exerting their
full power to instruct the New York

The latter said that he was neither
surprised nor discouraged by this in

MORE SUPPORT FOR SLIDER

SALT LAKE, Nov. 29.-Solomon
r. Guggenheim, chairman of the
board of directors of the Guggen-
helm interests, summoned represent
atives of the different newspapers to
his Office in the Mccormick building,
this morning. and gave the assem-
bled scribes ais opinion of the pres
ent financial condition throughout
the country. He suggested remedy
which, in his opinion, will not only
assist the country at the present time,
but will serve as a deterrent force
against repetition of the present
financial evil. Mr.. Guggenheim said:
About year ago the different
railroads throughout the country
went to the bankers and wished to
borrow money for construction work.
They offered the usual bond issue as
security, but were promptly refused
and some of the richest and most
powerful properties in the United
States were compelled to give notes
bearing and per cent interest.
This is enormous rate when value
of the properties are taken into con-
sideratiOn. The additional stringen-
cy is more marked at this time be-
cause of the. necessity for the rail-
roads to take up these notes, as the
banks have refused to renew them. |

the present time for purchasing sill

last financial crisis, Secretary Cor

would have availed himself of it by
purchasing 25,000,000 ounces of sill

''If he had that privilege the Lon

Safe Blowers Get In Suc-
ceSSful Work atggEa,s .ssnt
Depot Of Town.
OvERPOWERED- GUARDS
Believed to Have Made Big HAUL.
Much Money Had Been Kept In
Safe at Depot.

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 29.-At 1870
O'Clock yesterday morning robbers
visited the freight depot of the Tono-
pah, Goldfield and Bullfrog railroad,
overpowered the watchman and blew
open the safe, securing everything of
value it contained, amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars. The freight
depot is the old passenger depot of
the railroad, located mile and a
half from the center of the town, on
the bluffs to the northwest, distant
a quarter of mile from the nearest
dwelling. The watchmen were on
duty on opposite ends of the yard
while an operator was at work at the
depot.
The watchmen were captured one
at a time, and thrown into box cars
and then the operator was overpow-
cred. There were nine of the rob-
bers. Three watched their prisoners
while six did the work at the depot.
They dynamited the safe and the
work was so neatly done as to indi-
cate that the men were professionals.
The safe door was blown open, but
not another thing in the Office was
disturbed by the jar. The robbers
soon left, but their prisoners We're
not able to release themselves until
about O'Clock, when the first alarm
was given.
S. w. Brooks, resident agent of
the railroad, arrived upon the scene
and found that everything of value
had been stolen from the safe, and
that the floor was Uttered with scraps
of paper. The robbers evidently
thought they were tearing up checks,
but in reality they tore up a large
amount of money in scrip issued by
the John S. Cook bank The scrip
was made payable Ito bearer" and
is the money current in Goldfield, but
the robbers evidently mistook it's
character of value.
Agent Brooks says that the amount
of money stolen belonging to the
railway was not large, but he lost
all his own money and other personal
effects of value amounting to con-
siderable sum. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the robbers made big
haul from the railroad, as large
dlnOulltS Ol money nave DeeH taken
in the past few days through the
freight office and as all the Gold
field banks are either closed or only
paying limited amount of money
the agent was carrying quite sum
in the company's safe, supposedly
well guarded. Several suspicious
characters have been taken into Gus
tody, but as yet the officers have
reached no definite conclusion.

the pleasures of the occasion. These
ladies were Mrs. Frank c. Arm
strong, Mrs. L. G. Cannon, Mrs. VIM.

Culberson.
The dance was the subject of COM
ment everywhere yesterday, it being
declared by all who had the pleasure
of attendance to have been the most
successful society event in the his
tory of the district. The many pres
ent and the high representation of
