MEETING A SUCCESS.
THE COLORED PEOPLE ATTEND
ED IN LARGE NUMBERS.

The colored people showed their
desire to help the colored hospital
last Friday by n large attendance.
Many could not get standing room
and had to leave. A collection OF
$6l.35 was taken for the Jackson
Hospital that has treated over GO
charity patients, many OF serious
nature. The grogram was we'll rem
dered. Miss Maggie Anderson and
Mrs. r. B. Jackson, who possess rich
voices, accompanied by Miss S. T.
Cooley the music teacher OF Blue
field colored Institute, all did credit
to themselves and their race. The
speakers gave practical and instruct
i've speeches for the colored people
to follow
Or. Jackson opened the meeting
by snying that the object of the
meeting was to see if the colored
people would show appreciation and
race pride by deed for the good work
done by the Jackson Hospital for the
colored people. Rev. Coleman, OF
the colored Institute, gave good
practical talk on the necessity OF the
negro race combining to help each
other
Mr. w. E. Fowler. President OF the
American National Bank. OF Blue
field, spoke i'm a practical way. In
part he said, tho colored people had
great opportunities to make good
citizens and to buy their homes and
should do so I'm order to be fully re-
spected by all. He said further that
every colored man I'm Blueneld should
feel proud Of the Jackson Hospital,
that Is doing much good in the right
spirit, and that they should he only
helping their race to support lt and
TO support IL would mean To draw
more help from the white citizens,
who were doing a good part by the
Hospital
Mr. Sameth, OF Blueheld Merchan-
disc Exchange, commended the Hos
pital work, and said every colored
man In the commuplty should help
to support the colored Hospital and
In doing so more help would come
to them. He pledged to nc up a ward
and keep II mp at the expense OF his
firm for Jackson Hospital as CON
| tribution.
Mr.. Fred II. Moore, a colored man
from New York. made a talk that was
instructive In part he said, the
best class Of negroes should stick
together and rid the community OF
the lazy shiftless negro, who made
the jim Crow ears possible and
brought much shame upon the better
class Of negroes. He was very sue
cossful In organizing an Afro-Amer-
lean Business Mems League, Of which
Booker r. Washington IS president.

A bill was introduced in the
assembly yesterday relative to
the location of mining claims.
The bill provides that within
thirty days after the posting of
the notice of location that a ten
foot discovery shaft shall be sunk.
The boundaries of the claim
must be mdrked on trees or rocks
or by the use of posts. The
notice of location may be put in
to a can to protect it against the
elements. The notice shall con-
tain the size of the claim and the
direction in which the ledge runs.
The record of location must be
filed within thirty days after the
claim is located.
A resolution was passed in the
Assembly Wednesday barring all
lobbyists from the Capitol build
ing.
When the bill relative to the
district judges salary was being
read for final passage it was
thought by some members that
the bill was couched in such
language that it might cast re-
Election on the rhetorical ability
of the assembly and it was moved
that the bill be amended but
when it was found that the bill
had originated in the senate it
was passed and will be spread on
the journals of the senate and
assembly and will be printed in
the statutes if the governor
signs it.
The passing or having in ones
possession with intention of pas
sing any bogus checks will be
considered a felong and will be
punishable as such if the law
which was introduced by Mr..
Reid is passed. The present law
is not strong enough and after
passing a number of checks the
passer has but the cross the line
to be out of harms way;
After the bill relative to the
rates on freight has been dis
posed of Senator Pyne will have
his measure relative to fares
brought up and will try to secure
It's passage. At the present time
the Esmeralda county representa-
tive has all he can attend to as
ne is one of the members chosen
to procure if possible the passage
OF the Boyd rate bill.

In attempting to replace fuse
which was destroyed in the Shaft
house of the Clinton Mining
Company's lease on the Florence
mine at Goldfeld at an early
hour Monday morning, Ernest
L. Taylor, young electrician of
Of Salt Lake City, was electro
cuted.
A woman named Mrs Mamie
Taylor, and claiming to be the
wife of Thomas Taylor of Elko,
committed suicide in Goldfeld
last Saturday by swallowing a
dose of poison.
Several checks drawn by per-
sons who accompanied the Gold
field lobbying delegation to Car
son have been returned to per.
sons who cashed them in Carson
City as protested, because the
persons drawing had no funds in
the Goldfield banks.
The first change room" in
the Goldfield district went into
operation at the Combination
mine on Feb. l. So far from
objecting, the employees find it q
source of comfort to themselves
to have a place where they car
doff their soiled digging cloths
for street raiment.

Proposed Home For
Argonauts Of Nevada,

receive immediate action shortly
will be a miners home. There
are few if any of the Legislators
who think that home for the
miners that have become help
less is not a necessity. There
never has been a better chance
than at present to secure such a
home as the old Bower Mansion
toward Reno, which is considered
one of the most favorable loca-
lions within the State and is of
fered for $4,000. 1t is owned
by Reno people.
The old Bowers Mansion is a
large well built roomy structure
well situated and would be an
ideal home. There is fine
warm spring which is said to
excellent healing qualities and
the surroundings are pleasant.
A number of those who heard
Assemblyman Bray in his
speech advocating the purchase
of the building have said that
they would heartily in favor of
securing q home for the old men
who have given the best part of
their lives for the development
of the mines of the state which
have made Nevada one of the
wealthiest and most influential
of the states.
Assemblyman Thoms Tighe.
the man who does things, says
that the entire delegation from
the southern part of the state is
in favor Of a miners home and
there has been no objection
heard.
A bill which is being discussed
is the measure which will take
the Office Of county superintend-
ent from the district attorney
and have people who have not
received training for attorneys
and have never had practical
experience as teachers. The pro-
posed bill will provide for the
dividing of the state into districts
probably about five, and deputy
state superintendent will have
cearge Of each district. One of
the friends of the bill said last
night, THE most important
thing in the state is the schools.
as the coming men and women
OF the state will have their minds
to great extent moulded by the
schools they attend and there
should be nothing too good for
them. What does district at
torney know about conducting
the schools of the county?
Let there be a good bill intro
duced that will provide for the
superintendency being in the
hands of capable man and let
the qualifications for the Office
include several years as a teacher
and then pay salary that will
make the office a good one and
good men and women will be an
pointed and selected. THE
teachers of the state and state
board of education framed the
measure.
The bill introduced in the SEN
ate by Mr.. Oddie which provides
for the condemnation of property
without long delay is for the
benefit of the southern mining
interests. At the present time in
order to lay pipe line it is neces-
sary to go through long legal
procedure and the time required
IS sometimes six months.
The bill will do away with the
delay necessary to lay a line
by making a deposit of twice the
worth of the property to be con-
demned it is made possible to
use. the property till the condemna
ton proceedings are completed.
There are several instances where
