Waht He Accomplished.
Although Mr.. Gatschet had not attempted
to write grammars, dictionaries or texts OF
languages or dialects spoken in Mexico
Central America or South America. he has
tried at least to give an idea OF the Creek
or Maskoki proper. formerly spoken in Ala
bama and Georgia, by publishing Tchkil-
lis kasihta legends in Creek and In its
interesting sister dialect, the Hitchiti. which
Is still in use among the lower Creek In
dams, with glossaries and a critical analy-
sis and grammar in both dialects.
Gatschets vocabularies of Koassati, ALI
manu-, Chicasa and Chahta, all Of them
Maskokian dialects, were also handed over
to the bureau Of American ethnology.
The private life of Mr.. Gatschet passed
rather quietly, and was interrupted only at
times by scientific excursions, undertaken
to enlarge the collections Of the bureau:
they never carried him beyond the limits OF
the United States and Canada. He had
lived in Washington, d. c., since 1877, and
was married September 1892, to Louise.

Health failed so far that he was unable
to pursue his researches further, and on

Sparks Against
Special Session

Governor Sparks is going to use
every effort to avoid calling special
session OF the Legislature. He said
as much last night after completin :
long telegram to President Roose-
welt defending his action in issuing an
appeal for Federal -roops to restore
peace in Goldfeld.
The Governor said that the fact
that there has been no trouble in
GOldfield while the soldiers have been
there is good evidence that it was a
wise plan to have them there.
The Governor also said that the
trouble is m ely local one in Gold
held and only affecting Esmeralda
County, and that he was not certain
that it would be just right to burden
the rest of the State with extra ex-
pense in order to handle the trouble
in the southern camp.
All the Legislature could do" he
said " would be to authorize the or
ganiZation of State militia or police
force. Should matters so shape them,
selves | will give the authorities of
Goldtield an opportunity to handle the
situation and enforce the law in the
operation of the mines. Should they
fail | will do everything in my power
under the Constitution ,s Nevada to
place men in there to Sc TO it that
peace prevails.

About Open
ing Of the Mint

Regarding the reported probable
effort to reopen the mint at Carson
to the recoinage of bullion, a man in
touch with national affairs and who
has held Office under the national
government, but does not wish to be
mentioned in connection with the
matter, said yesterday in an interview
with representative Of the Reno
Joul nal:
The argument being made against
the restoration of the mint at Carson
is that there are already two large
mints in the West, one at Denver and
at San Francisco, neither OF which has
ever been worked to its full capacity
To ship the bullion from Nevada to
either OF these mints is less expensive
than would be the restoration OF the
force at Carson.
Zone thing that ! am convinced Of
in this relation is that the innumer-
able scandals connected with the mint
at Carson during the Years of its eN
lstence as mint have much to do
with the institution having been
closed and kept closed for all these
years.
But it is largely a matter of in
fuence-of pull. Ii a Secretary OF
the treasury or a Director OF the Mint
favorable 10 the re-estabishment OF
the mint at Carson We're in office, ii
would not remain closed for another
hours. Or if any of the Representa-
tiTes in either House at Washington
We're sufficiently powerful with either
Of the officials | have just named
there would be no doubt whatever
OF the immediate restoration OF the
Carson mint.
