SULLIVAN COMPANY'S MEN ALL
RECEIVE THEIR PAY YES
TERDAY.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 1.-A special
to the Herald from Goldfield, New,
says. that every miner in the employ
of the Sullivan Trust Company re-
ceived his pay today, $4,000 being
distributed. The mines will be closed
until the affairs of the company are
Strengthened out.
The liabilities are about $500,OO0,
all due to brokers with whom the
firm did business, and the assets in
clude 5,537,5 $50 shares of stock having
a market value of 100000.
An officer Of the company attributes
it's embarrassment to delays in the
mails which ordinarily brought In
from $4,000 to 100000 a day. A
reorganization of the board Of direc
tors is now under way.

GOULD MAY CONTROL.

The story that Gould has acquired
the Nevada Central railway to use as
starter for line through the Neva-
da gold fields to Los Angeles has
created a stir in railway circles and
it is surmised that he is really in
league with "Borax" Smith and the
Santa Fe to defeat Harrimans' moves
in Nevada. - -..
The Tonopah and Tidewater will be
completed next spring to it's destina-
tion-Tonopah. About the same time
it is expected that the Western Pa
cifc will have reached Battle Noun
tain where it will connect with the
Nevada Central, just acquired by
Gould. From Austin, the southern
terminus of the Nevada Central, work
will be pushed toward Tonopah, a dis
tance of 100 miles and the final gap
in the short line south between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake will be closed.
While this route will be about 100
miles longer than the Salt Lake route,
it will tap all the big Nevada mining
camps-passing through Goldfield,
Rhyolite, Beatty, Bullfrog and within
few miles of Furnace Creek and
Greenwater, giving ould the whip
hand in the matter Of ore traffic

OLD DANEY MINE.

A GOldfield broker company adver-
tises that the East Comstock Wonder
mining company includes in its hold
ings the Dana property four miles
south of the Comstock. The latter is
the old Daney mine below Silver City
The Daneymine is owned by Superin-
tendent Kinkead and others who
have expended at least $4,000 in eX-
tending a tunnel 500 feet which the
Daney company had driven in 100
feet years before. The company rep
resented by Mr.. Kinkead, purchased
the old Daney property about five
years ago with the intention of ex-
tending it to drain Silver City dis.
trict mines and it's now has a length
of 1900 feet and is connected with
the Daney old shaft. Title to the
surface ground along the entire line
of the tunnel was acquired by pur
chase and was surveyed by civil en-
gineer w. T. Moran of this city. The
project of draining the Silver City
mines through this tunnel has moi
been abandoned by any means ant
work is temporarily suspended pend

SOUND TALK FROM JUDGE
BREEN

Yesterday Judge Breen of the third
judicial district passed through Car
son on his way to Tonopah.
Upon being asked as to the strikes
in Goldfeld he said, thy are 'te5..-
pests in a teapot There is no roos.4-
in Southern Nevada for strikes. The
miners untion of the southern camps
are composed of great conservativ
bodies of men, and they will see to ii
that no serious trouble will come"
Judge Breen declared that tn sal
walton of Nevada depends largely ca
the amicable relations between cap
tai and labor, and that, above all
things, labor should be remunerated
to the last NOTCH
"If the mining camps of this state,
for the last four years. he continued
" had been worked by labor, calling
for two or three dollars per day in
stead of four or five a day, the diff
ference would have been paid into
the pockets of Philadelphia, Pittsburg
New York and Boston capitalists and
would not have Injured to the benefit
of the southern towns. Instead Of
having great business blocks which
would do credit to New York or San
Francisco, there would be a lot Of
Chinese shanties, dug-outs, and Jap
anese junks to disgrace our plans.
"The reasonable compensation If
labor is the salvation Of the state and
it must be kept up. Above all other
things, the miners union of the
state must see to it that there shall
be no foolish uncalled for strikes, and
nothing that would mar the develop
ment of the minerel resources of
Nevada, by preventing capital from
seeking investment in this state"

ter Equipped.
Whenever prisoner escapes from
the pen or an inmate slips away from
the asylum it results in talk about
the ineffiiciency of the service.
AS a matter of face the inefficiency
the service is not the fault of the
service but the fact that the state
refused to make. adequate appropri-
ations for the state institutions. This
has been because for years past the
state has been poor and economy was
a necessity. Now the treasury IS
bursting with money and it is flowing
in from all directions The pennywise
and pound foolish scheme need be
worked no longer and a broad and lib
eral policy should rule. 1t is not nee.
essary to waste money but all appro.
priations for public institutions should
be sufficietly large to enable the state
to get efficient service for all branches
All false economy should be avoided
for it always cost more in the long
run.

a dozen years ago Ed. Harris, was out

much more was stolen from him when
he was not watching his property.
When this chimney of gold was ex-
hausted, the excitement over the
Jumbo district died out. but practical

chimney of the yellow metal means a
big ledge and a very strong one some

DEATH OF CHARLES v.
FRIEND

After a lingering illness Of mos
than year Prof Chas. w. Friend who
has been resident Of Carson for
some forty years died last evening al
his residence in this city at few
minutes past ten o'clock.
1t would be hard to name a man in
this city who has been better known
than Charles Friend or who had a
wider circle of friends and acquaint-
ances.
He might also be regarded as one Of
the best educated men in the state of
Nevada His training had been in a
scientific direction and he had a
lasting passion for astronomy.
But this was not the only field Of
learning he had explored. 1t was
hard to bring up any scientific subject
of which he was not familiar and like
all men of real learning he never at
tempted to display it and it was only
those who were his near friends who
realized the real proficiency of his at
tainments. His modesty in that e.
spect was proverbial.
For some years he has maintained
the state weather bureau which he es-
tablished. For a time he maintained
it at his own expense until the state.
recognizing its Importance, made an
appropriation to provide fo- tie ex
pence.
He was a member Of the Masonic
lodge in this city in high standing
and will be buried under the auspices
Of that order.
Tie deceased was born in Madge
burg, Prussia, July Z, 1885 and lef

THE DECEITFUL MIR HART.

No doubt Hobe Whiting believed he was handing out a good tip when he said Bob Hart should be signed again. said Manager Davis Tuesday, but l don't believe Hobe knows it all"
 Managed Davis says Hart planned long time ahead to jump and take as many plyers with him as he could, and more, to leave team so weak Youngstown would have to drop out of the league,
 Hart, it will be remembered, went on a scouting trip for Manager Davis at the close of the baseball season. He went east with the Brooklyn base ball team, after llmpiring a game here between Youngstown and Brooklyn. He was to sign new center and half back for the locals. After two weeks stay in the east, during which period he, no doubt, closed with the Hartford club, Hart returned and said he had talked with Bill Miller and Tommy Holderness, both of whom, he said, would not come to the Interstate. Manager Davis learn ed from Miller and Holderness in the east that Hart had seen neither of them.
 Before the season opened Hart ad- vised Manager Davis to discard Davy Cusick, whom. Manager Davis be- lieves is one of the best goal tenders 1 nthe game. Hart advised the sig nature of a goal guardian who played when the Interstate first started. He said Davy was frost, but Manager Davis did not lose confidence in Gu sick. Manager Davis believes now that Hart wanted a weaker man than Cusick signed. Hart signed Allie Coggshall against Manager Davis's wish. Coggshall was not fast en- ough, the local manager believed, but Hart insisted on him. Why Hart insisted so strongly was shown when Coggshall departed for the east with him.
 Hart did everything in his power to get Eddie Higgins to jump but Eddie turned him down cold and started lining up the other. players in favor Of the club.-Youngstown, o, Tele- gram.
