out the mutterings of internecine
strife. the groans of the vanquished
the exultations of the victors. All
the world wanted to hear and see the
flow OF riches, to touch, to handle to
pocket the spoils of nature.
At times the golden flood was in
terrupted and the torrent bed dry.
Then the rumor went forth that labor
was either oppressed or depressing in
Southern Nevada. But the flood re-
sumed and the fact that a war exist
ed was overlooked. Men had invest
ed gold in Southern Nevada. They
wanted gold in return, twenty. forty,
even one hundred fold and they
would be satisfied.
Finally the news was flashed
abroad that newspaper office in
Goldfield was surrounded by horde
of men armed to the teeth and bent
on dire punishment upon any one
who would serve the patrons of that
paper with the news of the day. Di-
amondfield Jack Davis and several
other fearless citizens went forth with
the papers, armed with automaticf
which dispersed the crowds and the
incident was at an end.

A bloodless, but none the less des-
perate, war is being waged in Gold
held. Bloodless save for the mur-
dering of Silva, the restaurant keep
er, who would not obey the behest
of the business agent of the Indus
trial Workers of the World. Blood
less, save for the wounding of St.
John. Turney and Murphy; save for
the inumerable fights that resulted
in broken heads and gashed coun-
tenances. Bloodless. save for the
numbering of couple of Slavs and
for sundry other isolated cases of
violence.
Yes, the war is none the less des-
perate for the fact that few fatal
tiles have ensued and only couple
score of men who preferred theiI
right of opinion to their personal SAT

and permitted to make their way
penniless, without water, without
food, to the nearest place of refuge
across pitaless desert of magnificen

BURNED FOOT VS.. SKIN

The Same Method Which Cures Ont

cure a burn on the foot Why, then,
should those suffering from Eczema or
other itching. burning diseases dose
the stomach to cure a disease that is i'm
the skin only? This method was
common few years ago. but modern
science has discovered that skin

caused by bad blood or d disorderad

tune and Senators kittredge and
Gamble drew out the prize packages.
There vas a large number of vacant
offices in the state, due to the fact that
the two senators have been unable to
agree upon applicants. thus permitting
the old officeholders to retain their po-
sitions long beyond the time to which
they were appointed.
The senators met in the President
office today by appointment to agree
if possible, upon a distribution, but
when they confronted the President
they found themselves just as far apart
as they have been in his absence.
The President proposed that they
draw lots. The senators agreed and
the position of bank examiner being
the place in immediate dispute the
President tossed up coin, saying that
heads meant that Kittredge should
win and tails that Senator Gamble
should name the man. The piece of
money fell heads up and the nominal
tion was thus awarded to Mr.. Kit

Both appearing satisfied with this
method Of disposing Of the problem. the
President suggested that all vacancies
be filled after the same manner and
accordingly the names Of the various
officers were written upon slips of pa
