gerous to offer them a bribe, and
Blakeslee has never been known in
this State for his courage.
The members are reading with great
glee the reports Of the Lane investiga.
ton at Los Angeles. and to say that
this came at most opportune moment
is putting it mildly. These reports
simply crystalized the sentiment tha,
no railroad promises can be relied upon
and when it was shown that White.

of his promises there was loud guf.
faw from everybody and the bill vas
demanded.
The fight is on. There is nothing

there may be a deadlock or a delay or
something that will destroy the good
effect Of the bill.
Speaker Skagss Leading the Fight
The bill to oust Bullion Tax Collector
Neviu by abolishing his office has
caused him to run around in circles.
He is bnttonholing every man he can
get to listen to him, but gets little satis-
faction. for the whole House is sore
with big s. aud Nevin is up against
it. The Speaker said to-day:
cit is true that am behind that bill.
| believe that inas1 uch as Neviu has
done the best work for the railroads,
the railroads should pay him. He's a
fifth wheel anyhow aud the Grand Jury
Of my county had to cal attention to
his lack of diligence. As a matter OF
fact he is only kept in Office by the rail.

gan to pay him and the State cut him
off. F"
This sentiment inds an echo in nearly
every member Of the House. Nevin is
blamed for the Governors flop at Tono-
pah aud for several similar fiops by the
Governor. The Governor made the
statement Wednesday night that he
stands by his Tonopah declaration. If
be stands by that declaration during
the session it is almost a cinch that he
is a political dead one from this time
forth. for the people of Nevada demand
some regulation Of railroads and will
have il. and woe to him that gets in the
way.

The Coal at Coaldale

Ii. G. Hartzhorn, a coal miner of
Coaldale, was interviewed by a Tonopah
Sun reporter recently According to his
reports the coal at the Coaldale district
consists of a vein varying from 16
inches to 16 feet in thickness. While
Mr.. Hartzhorn is an experienced coal
man, he said he never before saw
such peculiarities as exist in the vein at
Coaldale. The coal. according to Mr..
Hartzhorn, is coking coal. and for that
reason it is difficult to burn. although
it is expected that he quality will be.
come better as the development Of the
vein gets deeper. At that it is as good
as some of the coal that has been re.
ceived in Tonopah Of late.

There is a story behind the bill vacat-
ing the office of State Bullion and
License Collector, now held by James
Nevin.
When the legislators were in Tono-
nah. several railroad speeches were
made, but none caused as much com.
ment as that of the Governor, who ar
rived late aud spoke against any legis-
lation against the railroads.
Not ten hours before he had advised
IL in Goldfield, and when he spoke as
he did a reason was sought. 1t is
stated that his friend Jim Nevin was
at the bottom Of it and that he has been
at the bottom Of every piece Of vacilla-
ton which the Governor has INDUCED
ip.
In the face OF the fact that the entire
people of the State demand some relief
from the railroads, it is stated that
Nevin presumed to get in his fine work
and influence the Governor. through
the latter's desire to go to the United
States Senate two years from now,
forcing Sparks to oppose railroad reg.
ulation aud practically notifying every
body that he would veto a measure if
the legislators passed it, Anger is a
mild word to express the feelings Of
the men who came here from Tonopah
A caucus was called "Wednesday
night and il was determined to roll the
wagon over every man that gets in the

Sparks will hardly dare to veto rail-
road regulation bill in the face Of this
demonstration. and it is hoped that now
he has been rebuked by the rank aud
file of his own party he will see light

lobby is here. but one and all are feel.

ever since Wednesday night when the

Insist on Pledges Being Kept


Milton NJ. Detch, President of the
Goldfield Chamber of Commerce, is
fostering plan to send delegation Of
Goldfield citizens to Carson City to
work for the Railroad Rate bill and to
make the legislators stand true to the
platform which they swore to support
when elected. He states that petitions
to men, who can be tempted by the
purses of the railroads will do no good,
and that if they have sold out to the
railroads. they will disregard all petit
tions. He believes. however, that ii a
number of determined men who helped
elecr them to the Office aud who heard
them pledge themselves to vote for
lower railroad rates. are present when
the voting takes place. they will hesi-
tate before throwing down the will of
the people aud supporting the railrads.
Milton Detch has called upon the people
of Goldfield aud Of other cities OF the
State TO act immediately and force the
legislators to carry out the orders of the
people.

Bank Examiner for Nevada

An Act creating a bank examiner has
been introduced in the Assembly by
Representative Reid of Washoe County
Since the number of financial institu'
tions in Nevada has grown in six years
from seven to AZ the necessity for the
Office is felt to be imperative. The
measure, it is thought, will be passed
without opposition. The bill provides
that the Governor shall appoint a COM
petent person who shall be thoroughly
expert in handling accounts to examine
the accounts and report on the condi-
ton of all the banks of the State. The
bank examiner shall have his Office in
the capitol. He shall receive a yearly

For the fourth time in four successive
sessions the bill to appropriate funds to
reimburse those who donated subscrip-
tions to build residence for President
Stubbs of the University of Nevada has
been defeated. aud those who made the
contributions to construct a home for
the college executive will recall the
money as a charitable donation.
When the measure was first consid-
cred in the Senate the House "went
into a committee of the whole" and
recommended that it do not pass. The
bill was fatherei by Senator Martin.
The entire cost of the mansion for DIR.
Stubbs was %. 1906. OF this sum the
University President gave 1904. Gov
ernor Sparks headed the subscription
list at the time with a donation Of $3.50

Free Entry for Prospectors

Although the bill which allows pros
pectors the right to go on unfenoed
ground In search Of the precious metal
was one Of the planks in the Republi-
can platform at the last campaign, the
measure received the heartiest support
OF the Democratic representatives. when
vote was taken on il in the Assem- bly,
last week. The lower House records
show that there was not a dissenter in
the ranks of the Democracy against the
bill. When the bill was introduced
Speaker Skaggs took the floor in its
favor. He stated that the working
man. the miner. has every right on un-
fenced land. and that those who own
such property do not object. unless
they be corporations. inspired with
greed. for the poor owner knows that
his other property will be increased in
value by the discovery of rich minerals.

postoffice and the telegraph Office are

While great many of those contem-

lack of employment. there are many
cases of those in apparent prosperity
who yet are tired of life. One such
case was that of a business man who
was afraid his capital would not tide
him over dull season and who was
driven almost beside himself by stress
and worry. Another man who called

and he congratulated the officers on
their work, saying that he himself,

New York has a smaller percentage
Of suicides in proportion to population
than some other American cities. San
Francisco and St Louis go ahead of it,
according to the statistics on the sub
ject. The number of suicides In the
country at large last year was over

year 1899, fact which shows the need
for such work as the Salvation Army
IS now doing III this direction.

pairing for one of the most enjoyable

history of the order in this city. The
Indiana division of which the local
chapter is a member hopes to report
a greater increase in membership
this year than does the Missouri divi-
sion which is one of the most active
divisions Of the organization. There
is a great rivalry between the Indiana
and Missouri divisions as to Increase
in membership each year, and at the
Indiana division convention, which
will be held at Anderson, May Is,
better report is expected than will
be made at the Missouri division con-
vention.

Doo1. parture from this
world, preferring TO the ills they know
| the ills they wot not OF. One would
not think it perhaps. but there are SO
many cases OF suicide or attempted
| suicide in the big city of New York
and so many of its residents are in
state of mind favorable to self de-
struction that the anti-suicide bureau
recently Established in that city by the
Salvation Army is actually q busy
place. The New York bureau was OPEN
ed only few weeks ago, but the COM
mander of the Salvation Army, Gen
eral William Booth, established sim
liar bureau in London some time since.
and that has already developed into an
institution of wide usefulness. Indeed,
even the recently organized bureau In
New York has done a brisk business,
SO to speak. in the prevention of sui
eide and has in the few weeks of its
existence grown into one Of the most
important branches of the great work
done by the Army in the American
metropolis. 1t is under the supervision
of Miss Eva Booth, commander of
the Army in America. but it's active
director is Colonel Thomas Holland,
who has a dozen or more persons as
signed to help him in the work and
who uses for its purposes two recep-
ton rooms and four interview or con-
ference rooms in the national head
quarters building at 120 West Four
teenth street
OF course there are deadbeats who
go to the anti-suicidal bureau with tales
of woe and threats of self destruction
and who could not be induced to do
away with themselves under any cir
cumstances, but the army officers are
experts at detecting frauds and know
how to handle such cases so rs to pre-
vent waste of sympathy, money and
effort. The genuine cases are numer-
Gus enough to keep the bureau officers
busy. The idea is to supply advice,
sympathy, comfort and encouragement
and, where the circumstances justify,
employment or even money, but. bet
ter still, way out Of the difficulties
which induce the applicant for advice
to contemplate self destruction. The
