peaceful adjustment of the entire
strike trouble. -s-l< ~. /:
The determination Of the governor
to visit the iron country was fastened
by letter received from Sheriff
Bates Of st. Louis county. The letter
spoke of the strike. the closing Of
practically all the mines and the pos

To date, Sheriff Bates wrote, there
had been no violence, but in anticipa-
ton Of trouble he had sworn in many
deputies. In the event Of any general
trouble he gave It as his opinion that
he would be unable to cope with the
situation and when it came the state
troops would be needed.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE ARMY?

What's the matter with the army?
The yankee answer is, What's the
matter with the government?
A private citizen wants man to
run donkey engine, and when he
gets him he pays him SIS month.
Uncle Sam wants man to 60 to the
rice beds of the Philippines, there
to fight Moros and fever, and he
offers him SIS month. That's
what's the matter with the army.
1t takes lot of patriotism to make
up the difference between SIS and
SIS each thirty days, and that we
can keep the army at $4,000 men
says more than a word for the Ameri-
can youth.
Last winter bill was introduced
in Congress for the increase of pay
of officers and men. The President
and the Secretary of War worked
like men in the field to get the bill
passed. Did it pass? Not bit of
it; there were too many rivers that
never saw boat and that never
will see a boat to be improved"
Over on the other side of the water,
in most of the countries, military
service is compulsory. The men
get a penny day or something
like it in the coin of the realm that
they serve, and this habit of poo r
pay in Europe has hurt the Ameri-
can soldier. It isn't necessary to
pay man anything when you are
forcing him to work for you and are
keeping him at his work with the
bayonets of his fellows.
If one of the coming billion dollar
Congresses will vote adequate pay to
the American enlisted man the
problem of desertion will be solved.
The men won'tfght any better than
they do now. They can't, nor can
any man, for it is not in him. When
it comes to the pinch of the fight
there is not hing the matter with the
army.

BACK TALK
SchWab EmulateS Teddy and
Denies Everything

Chas. Schwab has written a letter Ia
the editor OF the Tonopah Miner in re-
ply to the accusations that have been
made against him since his reported
criticisms of Nevada as field for min
ing investment. According to this letter
the editors who have been roasting him
and telling OF the money he made by
handing out stocks Ia his cuntiding
friends, are a lot Of ''pernicious prevari-
Gators and undesirable citizens" to
say nothing of "mollycoddles. !" He
opens The only thing | criticized
aoout Nevada was the inaccuracy OF
statements emanating from Nevada.
You seem to attack me because OF this
statement, and the strength OF my
position is fully confirmed by your ar
ticle, because little, ii anything, stated
therein is true or accurate
He then takes up one by one the sep
arate statements made about his deals
and denies their accuracy in toto, con-
cluding with the following concerning
the Shoshone deal: ''Nou say that |
purchased control of the Shoshone and
Polaris for less than 81 per share. This
statement OF yours is inaccurate. You
say | sold large block of Shoshone
stock $50 per share. This is also
without any truth whatever, The fact is
that 1000 shares were sold at this figure
$40, and these 5000 shares came from
the treasury OF the company, all Of
which Won will find matter OF record.
1T is true that | have loaned the com
pany nearly 100000 to build the new
mill, and shall be glad to have any
other stakeholder in the company as
sumo his pro rata share OF this amount.
Nearly everyone has now been heard
from except Charles friends who
bought stocks.

EASY MONEY
SearChlisht P. 0. Steal COntin-
ued 10 Months

An examination of the books OF former
Postmaster Atwell OF Searchlight shows
that his defalcations cover a period Of
10 months and the further remarkable
fact that said shortage appears in the
cash book, the amount appearing from
day to day as cash on hand, whereas ac-
cording to regulations remittances
should have made daily down to $50.
The surety company behind Atwell's
bondsmen will test the case, charging
lack Of diligence on the part OF the post
office department.
1t is reported that Atwell's defense
will be that he was never appointed
postmaster after his office was raised
from fourth to third class, and that he
can only be charged with breach OF
trust and is not liable to criminal action.
His total shortage is $5,730.9 90.
There is evidently trouble ahead for
some postoffice inspector.

TIMBER
Blue Gum Should Thrive in
Southern Nevada

The blue gum is one of the largest
and most rapid growing trees in the
,.4rld. In California under favorable
.apditions, trees have attained height
II 1-5 feet and diameter OF ) feet in
~ wears. They are grown in nearly all
.be agricultural sections OF California,
,,sng the coast of southern Oregon, and
Western Texas and should do we'll in
tine lower valleys OF Nevada, such as
Ia. Vegas, Muddy River and Amargosa
River valleys.
Trees planted now would soon make
a uaying crop as fence posts and fuel.
Tile most essential requirement of
h.gr gum and other eucalyptus is an ade-
aasge supply OF soil moisture. \ warm
climate. dry atmosphere, and high
percentage of sunlight furnish very
favorable conditions, and government
axp.riments have shown that when
abundant moisture is found within from
~ 70 II feet of the surface the blue
gum will grow well even in dry situa-
tiops. Southern Nevada meets the re-
auirement OF surface moisture
The blue gum has phenomenally rapid
rate Of growth. Seeding stands will
average height growth of 30 feet in six
wears and 100 feet in ten years. In
sprout stands trees frequently reach ,
inrhe, in diameter and 81 feet in height
i'm eight months, while in three years a
diameter OF inches and height OF 20
feet are often attained.
In many yalleys OF California euca-
Iyptus windbreaks are considered alb
-rIntelv necessary to insure successful
crops.
In the Vegas valley the tree would he

table. \ small portion OF the valley
could soon bc made to supply fuel for
all Southern Nevada. In California the
growing of the trees for fuel alone has
been found very profitable.

company Of New York, says that he has
Just received word from the company
that a drilling outfit had been shipped
and that a well will be sunk at once at
point about eight miles from the
Indian Creek ranch.
About two years ago there was con-
siderable excitement over the territory
in the vicinity OF Indian and several
Las Vegas people made oil locations,
which were allowed to lapse.

NO SUSPENSION
Legitimate Mining Interests Op-
pose BaTtlett'S Plan

Congressman Bartlett told the Beatty
Bullfrog Miner recently that he would
not introduce the bill to suspend annual
assessment on mining claims if made
protest; that he would represent and
not misrepresent the people of Nevada.
We can see no more reason for sus-
pending annual assessment work than
for remitting county and state taxes.
In fact the people of Nevada would be
benefited most by suspending county
taxes.
Opposition to the measure is already
rampant and protests are being signed
throughout southern Nevada by those
interested in the progress of legitimate
mining. Only promoters and specula-
tors who desire to control a vast number
of claims without cost would be bene-
fitted by such a measure. Honest oper-
ators desire honest and active develop
ment and realize its importance to the
mining industry of the State. To sus-
pend assessment work would be to give
INSCRIPTIONS claim hogs years grace,
and place thousands of claims beyond
the reach of honest miners who would
be glad to develop them.
