.LABOR'S INTEREST
 |S RECOGNIZED Trust Conference At Chicago
 Was AmicabIe
LABOR LEADERS TOOK PART
Long Step Forward Is Taken By Ma tionaI Civic Federation in Ami cable Relations Between Elm
 ployer and Employed.

Chicago, October 6.-(Speeial 1--Leaders of the National Civic federation move ment see as one of the great results of the national conference on combina- tions and trusts, which closed here yesterday, the completion of long step forward in their plan for re- lations of amty with the chiefs of the American Federation of Labor As an aid to the federations' aim for close re- lations with. the big labor body headed by Samuel Gompers, it was decided at the opening of the conference in Chicago not to encourage attacks in the conven- ton on the Tabor trust" with the result that a number of delegates who had planned speeches against the closed shop and the methods of organized labor, ma terially modified the tenor of their re- marks.
 When the conference was planned it was deemed fitting to recognize labor's interest in the trust question by making President Gompers vice chairman of the governing committee. His presence at the gathering led to the appearance there of the presidents and executive officers of the national unions of machinists, miners, carpenters, printers and long shoremen, besides the leaders of nu- merous smaller unions. Labor's represent atives took an active part in the discus sons affecting the railroads and the oil. steel, tobacco, lumber, rubber and beef combinations.
 During intermissions of the conference the labor leaders in attendance held a nj fnah .Nf fir.ore To q. dustrial future and map out a political course for their organization. President Gompers being present at most of the meetings
 The non-appearance at the conference of President August Belmont of the Ma tional Civic Federation. has led to a discussion of rumors that MT. Belmont is to retire from the leadership of the or ganization. It was authortatively stated, however, that President Belmont was unable to leave New York because of the financial situation there. His associates express confidence that he is not losing interest in the organization. It is said that Mir. Belmont will make early reply to the critics of his administration, be- cause he secured from public utility com panies funds to defray tue federation's municipal ownership Investigation and report.
 The conference just closed did not de- velop ahy political action within the federation. The majority of the 400 dele gates were not members of the fedora ton and the conference itself had no jurisdiction on questions of policy af- fectng the central body
 From conferences of the executive of- ficers of the Civic Federation after ad- journment of the national conference, word was given that Secretary Ralph N. SpV will iSglp calls for parlN ings of special committees on the recom- mendation of legislation in Congress that the committees may complete their work before the end of the year.

NEVADA WILL
LEAD Them ALL

A Washington dispatch says: The Di-
rector of the Mint, G. E. Roberts, just
returned from trip to the West, declares
Nevada in the future is likely to become
the first State in gold production. 1t is
now producing, he says, at the rate of a
million month, and the work now GO
ing on is chiefly of preliminary charac-
ter, certain to immensely increase the
output in the future
There never was such mining camp
in the history of the country, said Rob-
erts. 1.-The development of rich fields
is scattered all over the State. Nor is it
confined to gold. The Tonopah field is
extremely rich in silver. 1t may yet de-
velop rivalry to the famous Comstock
lode.
THE census of 1910 undoubtedly will
show that for the decade from 1900 Ne
vada will have led all other States of the
Union in proportionate growth in wealth
and population

CITY PLAT IS COMPLETED

The Yerington Realty Syndicate has
completed plat of the townsite to be
incorporated and has laid out streets,
alleys, water pipe lines, etc. 1t is a
nice piece of work and makes the new
city of Yerington look all right on paper
The plans should be adhered to by all
people who have land to cut up into
town lots so there will be no joys in the
streets and alleys. To follow the lines
of the new plat will necessitate some
changes, but these changes would all be
beneficial to the property owners and
make the street system of Yerington the
most uniform of any town or city in the
State. The work of surveying for sys-
tematic grade for city streets is now
being done and when completed will
undoubtedly be adopted by the city trus-
tees as soon as they are elected. This
will put each street and sidewalk on a
level, and the grade established will be
built to in the construction of all new
buildings. There will be several miles
of concrete sidewalks built very soon
and the town, by June or July, will have
a decidedly new appearance

MAMMOTH GOLD
MINING COMPANY

Baker and Miller have just prepared
articles of incorporation for the above
named company, to operate gold mines
in Lyon county. This is the largest gold
mining proposition yet inaugurated in
the Walker River country. The property
consists of rs full claims, is located near
the Walker River, % miles south of Yer
ington and in the same belt and near the
great Rockland mine. Two of these
claims were worked away back in the
sos, and over 81 900, 900 were extracted
by the crude methods in vogue at that
time, and yet the deepest shaft was only
800 feet These claims are free-mill-
ing proposition. The old mill is still
standing, near Walker River, that was
used in the SOS to crush the ore. The
old style mortars are still there, though
broken, and every thing else about it
bears the impress of time. This prop
erty was owned by the Davis Bros, who,
for the past three or four years, have
been developing the property. There
are numerous openings on the various
veins from 10 to 200 feet in depth, and
it is claimed, with ore in each and every
one of them that will pay to mill. The
new company is capitalized at 81 900, 900
and 100000 shares are placed in the
treasury as reserve fund. The COM
pany is organized and incorporated un-
der the laws of Nevada, with the main
Office at Yerington. The proposition is
financed by eastern and California capt.
alists. The corporation intends, in the
near future, to build mill an inaugur-
ate campaign of intelligent exploita-
ton. The company is thoroughly salts
fed from the many tests they have had
that the proposition will pay handsomely
from the start. This is only one of the
many rich gold mines in Nevada, worked
in the sos, that has lain idle for 40
years. But they are being resurrected
and will again pour their golden treasure
into the worlds circulation.
