Los ANGELES
SEES A CHANCE
SAYS EMBARGO OF SOUTHERN
PACIFIC DRIVES TRADE
TO SOUTH.

Through its declaration of an en-
barge on freight to Goldfield and 9TH
er Nevada mining camps, the South
ern Pacific railway has placed Los
Angeles on a vantage ground as re-
CARDS the business of the Nevada
mining centers.
As the Southern Pacific enters Ne
vada by branch from its northern
line out of San Francisco, the en-
barge means that all freight shipped
from that city must be prepaid, plac-
ire something of handicap on the
northern merchants in their cam
paign for the Nevada trade
On the other hand, no embargo on
any line of freight has been announc-
ed by the lines which handle the bulk
of the freight business between Los
Angeles and the Nevada mining CEN
tors, nor is there likely to be any,
il is said.
Fred A. Wann, general traffic man
ager of the Salt Lake, threw up his
hands in surprice when shown a dis
patch from Salt Lake stating that his
line had announced that all freight
from that city to Goldfield must be
prepaid by the shipper. AS it is his
office, from which such an order
properly should issue, Mr.. Wann at
once wired for an explanation.
"Goldfeld," said Mr.. Wann, has
enough trouble without our adding to
it. An embargo would be declared by
our line only as last resort. In
fact, if an embargo is to be declared
it should be by the Las Vegas and
Tonopah, over which we reach Gold
field
1t was stated at the offices of the
Las Vegas and Tonopah and the Ton
opah and Tidewater that neither road
contemplated an embargo on Nevada
freight.
This leaves nearly all the mining
camps of Importance directly open to
freight from Los Angeles by the
lines which reach them from the
south, and the advantage to this city
is of great value.
The declaration Of an embargo by
the Southern Pacific has forced SINH
lar action by the Tonopah and Gold
field line between Nina, and Goldfield
and by the Goldfield and Bullfrog
road between Goldfield and the clus-
ter of camps further south, including
Bullfrog, Rhyolite and Beatty, but
these are in position to receive
freight from this city by other lines

MANHATTAN IS
The BEST EVER
j. WATT BRIGGS SAYS NORTHERN
CAMP is IN FINE
SHAPE.

j. Watt Briggs. one of the owners
of the Briggs-Evans lease on Union
No. 8, one of the most famous leases
of Manhattan, came in from the
northern camp yesterday. Mr.. Briggs
is now Manhattanite, and will make
his residence in the gold camp until
the ore of the lease is crushed. and
maybe there much longer time.
Manhattan is certainly looking
good from all view points" said Mr..
Briggs, land the Lemon mill is turn
ing out to be fine proposition, and
is living up to all that had been
promised for it. We expect the mill
to commence work on our dump in
about ten days, and go right through
with it. The Wolf mill is undergo
ing some slight repairs, and will be
ready for work, it is said, in a few
days.
"All the leases in the camp are
being worked to their full capacity,
and we hear of new shoots of high
grade ore nearly every day. The
camp never was in better condition
than it is today, although of course
ready cash is as scarce there as it
is everywhere else. When the finan-
cial stringency has been loosened,
and capital is again seeking invest
ment, Manhattan will not be over
looked. The camp, in my opinion,
is one of the best that is to be found
anywhere in the State, and is going
to make some more rich men for Ne
vada."

U. 5. MARSHAL
AFTER DERELIC7S

Judge Harrington of the U. S. Dis
trict Court yesterday placed attach
ments against the following named
persons in the hands of the marshal
with orders that they be brought be-
fore the bar of the court to show
cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt of court for fail
ing to appear when summoned as
petit jurors:
Charles H. Nash, Eugene Fettic, A.
Van Waggoner, e. j. Bohemian,
Henry Ritter, John H. Dickerson and
Edward Springmeyer
The above named persons ignored
the summons of the court to appear
in this city at the present session of
the U. S. court and the Judge is 60
ing to ascertain what right they have
to disobey the summons of the court.
One of the above named gentle
men, Mr.. Springmeyer, is at present
on his honeymoon in California, and
he will probably have about the best
excuse of the bunch. carson Appeal.

this CERTAINLY
IS A SURPRISE

CHICAGO, Dec. 16. - Receiver
Fetzer of the defunct Milwaukee Ave-
nue. bank of this city reported to the
court today that he had paid $4,-
356,S66 to the claimants of the
bank, and that he held balance of
$173,9S5 on hand in excess of assets
over liabilities.
This is the bank of which Paul o.
Stensland was president. After d.
verting the depositors' money to his
own investments, he fed to Moroc-
CO, where he was captured and re-
turned to Chicago. He is serving a
term in the State penitentiary for
his crime.
He has always maintained that
the enterprises into which he put the
money he took from the bank would
pay all creditors in full, and the re-
ceiver's report justifies the claim.

KNIGHTS BALL A
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
WAS ONE OF THE SOCIAL
FUNCTIONS OF THE
SEASON.

The anniversary ball of the
Knights of Columbus at Miners Hall
last night was a grand success. The
hall was artistically decorated with
flags and streamers, which set off the
many handsome costumes of the wo-
men, and gave to the affair a touch
of royal splendor There was
splendid attendance and the function
was most enjoyable from beginning
to end. The music was fine, and the
floor in the best possible shape for
the rythm of pleasure. Refreshments,
including punch, coffee and sand
witches, were served between the
dances; in fact, there was nothing
overlooked that could conduce to
the comfort and enjoyment of the
merrymakers. 1t was about mid
night when the familiar strains of
Home, Sweet Home" were heard,
and the dancers, still in the delights
OF Terpsichore, would fain have
stretched the hours to the dawn.
Puddy Grimes was the floor man
ager, and the following were the
committees: Floor. p. O'Brien,
chairman; w. J. Agnew, j. E. Nc
Namara, VIM. Grimes, 7. J. Dwyer,
H. B. Byron and Austin Jackson; re-

NASTY CARDS CULlED OUT
Disagreeable Task Confronts Clerks
in the Salt Lake Post
Office,

One of the most disagreeable tasks
failing to the lot of the postoffice
clerks is that of culling out obscene
and unavailable postal cards which are
thrust through the mail ehutes daily
by people whose morals are no higher
than the manufacturers of such cards
and the dealers who traffic in them.
At the Salt Lake postOffice there is
not a day goes by but that at least a
dozen of these obscene cards are culled
from the mails and forwarded to wash
lngton as unavailable matter" The
pCstofflce clerks are constantly ON the
outlook for these cards, and seldom If
ever does one of them get through. If
the people who waste their money in
purchasing these cards and mailing
them we're aware of this fact. thev
would POSSIBLY think twice before bur-
dening the mails with them.
In no case has it been discovered that
a card was signed by the sender. There
Is law against the mailing of s1,cb
matter, and should anybody be susnect-
ca an indictment against him wonld
be forthcoming.
As it is, the federal authorities foe,
II Is up to the civil authorities of tbe
city and state to put stop to the traf-
nc by the dealers.

The mayor was furnished with the facts
IN the case by Chief of Police Sheets
and after conference with the chief and
the city attorney decided to revoke the
license of Ducey. On examining the rec
ords It was discovered that the license
expires Monday and the Mavor decided
that the best way would be to refuse to
renew the license. The application for
liquor license for Ducey's saloon will
go to the license committee of the coun-
ell tomorrow evening without being an
proved by either the mayor or the chief
of police. which practically assures tho
public that the license will not be grant
ed, and the saloon will be permanentiv

Another warrant for the arrest of Dr.
cey was issued by City Prosecutor DaIv
on charge of allowing women in his sa
loon after O'Clock in the evening but
IN view of the mayors action in the case
this warrant will probably not be served
