to burn it at time when horses pass

cided that at about two O'Clock in the
morning would be a time quite free
from passers by and got up at time
and did the job. We presume that
when Mr.. Baker gets an auto he will
not use it day times out OF considera-

clover up to their eyes.

is in place they will be able to handle
their load more easily although it
will take seven hundred horse power
to run these two machines to their
full capacity and there are four direct

I beside. New boilers have been added
so that their auxiliary steam power
is much increased.

PLAYING DANGEROUS GAME.

1t is claimed by stock and mining
men that the Mohawk could "asily
nav dividends and relieve the present
stringency Of the market by Dtying
a dividend out of the one million six
hundred thousand dollars now lying
in the treasury in the bank of the
company.
The question is asked why is this
money not liberated individends.
The claim is made that it is held
there because the bank can foan it
out and get one per cent. per month
on it which amounts to the tidy little
sum of 81 800 a month.
This claim may or may not be true
but if it is the men who are doing
this are playing a dangerous game
and one which the public VIII not
long stand for. Senator Nixon Is
credited with the statement that they
can take out a million from the mine
every twenty days. If this can be
done the mine ought to very soon be
money not liberated in dividends.
The accommodating surplus is MOI
the property Of the management, bu

CLARENCE MACKAY'S GIFTS

At the commencement exercises at
the University DR.. Stubbs told the
audience of more generous gifts OF
Clarence Mackay to the University OF
Nevada.
In making his announcement DR..
Stubbs stated that Clarence Mackay
had first presented the college with
$4,000 for a mining building and that
later he increased this amount to $780,
900. Later he presented the college
with the statue of his father which
has been sculptured by Gutzon Borg
lum in New York and which will be
unveiled when the Mackay mining
building is dedicated.
Having told of the gifts by Mr..
Mackay DR.. Stubbs told the students
how the grounds would be beautified
at the expense of Clarence Mackay
and under the direction OF Landscape
Artist Bliss of San Francisco. This
will mean an expenditure of at least
$4,000.
After doing all these things for the
college Clarence Mackay has gone
further and has promised DR.. Stubs
that when the Mackay mining build
ing is completed, he will give the sun
of $4,000 annually for the payment o
4 professor and instructor in the
school of mines and the payment 0
an instructor in the school OF miner
alogy.
After speaking at length on th'
Mackay gifts, Dr. Stubbs took up tn
visit of Clarence Mackay to the Uni
versity and told how in the presenc
of the members of his party, 0. j
Smith, Mrs. Stubbs and himself, Cla'
ence Mackay had placed certain art
cles in the copper box which wa
placed in the corner stone of the neN
Mackay mining building. He tol
how he had tried to keep this matte
