a number of new buildings as $115,-
worth of bonds will be issued for the
erection OF school and county build
ings The bills allowing these ap-
and gone TO the governor for his sig
nature. Ely is growing rapidly and
it was thought best to erect build
ings that would be a credit to the
town even after it took it's place as
one of the larger western cities. The
officers of the county who are to oc-
cupy the new buildings will be al
lowed larger salaries as well as head

so frequently as the law provides
penalty for infraction of the provis-
ions of the act. The measure was
considered good one and was pass

which is not SO long but by many is
considered more efficient. was passed
in the assembly yesterday 1t is pat
termed along the lines of the Pyne

there will be a combination of the
two and the best OF both embodied
in an amended measure will be up
for passage.

CAPITALISTS INTERESTED
IN HOLNIES-KNOX GROUND.

Salt Lake City Utah, March 15.--
G. s. Holmes and Frank Knox have
returned from a iaunt to the east
ern markets.
It was learned that one of the re-
suits OF the trip was the interesting
OF a crowd OF capitalists in some of
the Ely properties in which; Holmes
and Knox have the control. With
this likely proposition before them
the eastern men have consented TO
make the "trip 10 the great copper
camp at Ely within fortnight and
make personal inspection Of the
group.
That these capitalists will be
pleased with the slowing that al
ready has been MADE in the prop
erty there is every reason to be-
lieve. 1t may prove boon to that
camp to have such men on the spot
to see for themselves just what is
being done in a locality where so
many millions are being invested in
permanent improvements.

ALL USED up AT Law

Nearly Equal 10 Value
OF Estate

San Francisco,f March 15.-After
several hearings the case of Jesse
Sheldon Lux Potter against A. y.
Lewis and others. rustees of the es-
tate of Miranda w. Lux, has been
submitted to Judge Seawell.
The claim of Potter, grand son
of Mrs. Lux was for the sum OF
$194.667.40, which is said to have
been due on the legacy left him, and
which has been accruing ever since
1897. Attorneys fees. trustees fees
and other expenses. however, have
amounted to 193.415.71, leaving a
balance of only $1251.69 profit on
the estate in nine years and six

ANTI.FIGHS
BILL IS DEAD
Assembly Decides to Indefinitely
Postpone Action on the
Measure

Carson City, March 14.-Prize
fighting in Nevada will be legal for
at least another two years, notwith-
standing Gov Sparks presence in
the assembly yesterday afternoon
when the measure was being discuss
ed which would abolish the game,
and the speech he made against the
bill.
The splendid arguments of Assem-
blymen Fesler, Ray and Huskey in
support of the ring contests caused
the house to indefinitely postpone ac-
ton on the measure. And when the
result was announced the Cockey
O,Brien of Nevada Assembyman Ed
Stewart. gathered his followers about
him in the corridors and there glo-
ried in victory.
Even eX-Lieutenant Governor Lem
Allen was cheerful. He said that the
state was too young to think of re-
forming now and he told the crowd
in the hall that he had never enjoy
ed himself so much as the time that
Corbett and Fitzsimmons battled in
this city
There is prize fighting in every
country where men have sense suffi-
cient TO raise their hands, asserted
Assemblyman Fesler. Il do rot be
lieve in this false attempt at moral
ity. the adjustment Of the fighting
game. The patrons of such contests
are the best givers to churches and
the charities in Nevada; they are not
hypocrites. They support the finish
contest because it is the sport of
kings and because they want excite
ment. Your mining man needs sem
sations If he did not get chance
to gamble now he would save his
money and spend it in San Francis
co. Denver or Salt Lake.
is it not better to license fights
and gaming tables here and turn the
money over to the home government
than to let the funds be taken out
of the state for others to derive the
benefit?'
Assemblyman Huskey averred that
the prize fight in Nevada had given
the state more advertising than it
would ever have received in another
way. He said that he was sorry to
see the Stewart four round contest
get the governors veto. but he would
never vote for the bill repeating the
measure tolerating prize fights.

NO GRAFT AT
UNIVERSITY
Legislative Investigating Committee
Sets at Rest Wild RumOrS
Of Irregularities

Carson City, March 1.-THE Ne
vada state university has allowed it
self to be investigated and the re-
suit is everything to its credit.
The committee on state insttu-
tions which recently made trip to
Reno TO investigate the affairs of the
state university Immediately after a
charge of graft was made against
that institution yesterday submitted
lengthy report to the assembly, as
follows, in part:
Your committee on state insttu-
tions beg leave to present their re-
port on the state university. careful
ly inspected the buildings and the
grounds and made diligent inquiry in
regard to its condition and manage
ment
We would say at the outset that
our university has done and is doing
a great work for Nevada
Under the fostering care of a gem
erous state for many years in the
throes Of the financial depression, the
university, with insufficient means
and equipment has grown, in 21
years from a mere preparatory de-
partment to its present goodly pro-
portions. ranking with the state uni
versities of several Older states.
1t has given its graduates an ed
ucation and training that has ena-
bled them TO take important positions
in the mining world and pe sitions OF
honor and responsibility in business
and professional life.
The safes EibcraIity.
Considering its past condition in
respect to population and financial
means Nevada has been liberal to its
university And yet for lack Of am
pie maens many things that ought to
have been done have been left un-
done. And in consequence conditions
have been created that are not in
harmony with the continued progress
and usefulness of the university.
Oul state 10 INV III du u Il VI lN-
markable development and prosper
ity. The university should be en-
abled to get into line with these new
conditions that il may better conserve
it's mission-the advanced education
and proper physical and moral train
ing of the young men and women of
Nevada.
The Attendance.
We have examined into the report
ed dissatisfaction and decrease in at
tendance arising therefrom. For one
or two years prior to the present
year there was some decrease in
the attendance. but this was due to
causes other than the one alleged.
The falling off in attendance was in
the main in the preparatory and in
the normal departments. This was
occasioned by improved opportunity
for preparatory work at home, and
by a largely increased demand for
teachers in rural schools. enabling
high school students throughout the
state to secure teachers positions
without attending normal school.
