day, and wen both sign it," said Mr..
Johnson.
That's the DOPE" assented Mr..
Burns.
1t was their turn at the window,
when the manager burst in all out of
breath, and he had with him two of
the actors of the Burns Theatrical
company.
Just a minute" gasped the man
ager.
I'm a second" said the business
like Johnson.
You know that you r under
contract with me for the next two
weeks" blurted out the manager.
"Well, you car play in Carson, and
then take in Tonopah and Goldfeld,'
said Johnson suavely, but he looked
around to see If he couldn't find an
Indian on the warpath, with his
scalping knife unsheathed.
BLOW Goldfield," exclaimed one OF
the actors; ST you are going to drop
us, we quit right here.
The manager had the actors rib
bed up with the proper dope.
You'll have to pay us damages
put in the perspiring manager.
Burns excused himself, and retired
to the curb with the manager and the
thespians.
Damages for a couple of weeks
won't amount to much" threw out
Johnson. Il don't see where the
show is properly advertised, anyhow
Nobody here knows that you are t.
play in Reno"
What kind of a house could We
draw in Tonopah?" asked Burns.
Il can guarantee that the house
will not cost you a cent"
More talk between the four on tht
curb, gesticulating, more per
spring, more handkerchiefs flying
and it was all off for Tonopah.
Il guess I'll have to pass it up,
said Burns, sadly.
THE mistake of your life sighed
Johnson.
Il believe it," returned Burns
my heart is in going to Tonopah
and l want to fight Schreck. Blu
these fellows are holding me to m.
contract, and they promise grea
things for the future"
Hot air." replied johnson
Here's a chance to make $4,000 i
twenty minutes if you lick Schreck.
That sting about Schreck and tn
$4,000 nearly did it, for Burn
wavered, but the manager was at hi
side with supplicating glances, an
the actors looked threatening, a
only actors can. Burns weakened
and Johnson began slowly tearing u
the telegram to Schreck. The inc
dent was closed.
IF l could only have had a Put
Indian jump out with a tomahaw
, and kill that manager" said NJ
johnson, last night, with righteol
indignation; or a painted Indian
run him into the river, the world
championship fight would have bee
pulled off in Tonopah."

GIVES HISTORY.
Government Agent Says Phoebe Has
Produced S21, OOO, 900.

P@AfOSOaOOON
According to the report made by
James w. Abbott, a special agent of
the government, the gross output of
the mines of Phoebe and vicinity, not
including Bristol, Jack Rabbit and
Comet districts, from 1869 to 1899,
totaled $21,271,376.
From 80 to 95 per cent of the val
ues were obtained by the old Washoe
process, long since abandoned in the
United States, excepting in a few
places remote from railroads. The
balance was obtained from teaching
methods, imperfectly conducted, with
the crudest of apparatus, and a little
of it from two smelters, n a 25-ton
plant, built 70 r experimental pur-
poses, and the other a 100-ton plant,
still standing on the fiat a mile from
town. In the early days of Phoebe
twenty-one companies were operat-
ing. In the Phoebe section at that
time were IL reduction plants, of
which seven were smelters.
The old Phoebe Con. property, with
that of many others, is now owned by
the Nevada-Utah Mines and Smelter
corporation, which also controls
other interests in the principal min
ing districts of Utah. This company
was organized in 1904. George G.
Learnard of Boston being president;
A. f. Schneider, general manager of
all the properties, and c. H. Swan
ton, general superintendent in Ne
vada. The holdings of the new cor
porations near Phoebe comprise 100
acres, covering a dozen or more OF
the most important mining PROPOSE
lions of early days; a narrow gauge
railroad of sixteen miles from Phoebe
was built to the Bristol mining dis.
trict; two smelters in the valley, anC

with a vast amount of prosecuting
six shafts to a depth of 1900 feet ant
over; five shaft 500 to 900 feet il
depth and eleven shafts 500 to so
feet. At No. 5 shaft is a 150-horse
power hoist with two four drill com
pressors.
The company has 120 men at wor,
) and could at the present time shil
! 500 tons of ore daily. The compan.
! will erect near Phoebe a mammotI
: smelling works, in order to treat al
2 the ores which may come to it. A

the cost of transportation after tn
D advent of the railroad will have niue

struction of several plants with lat

mines and on the dumps are thous
i ands of tons of ore with values rang
ing from $25 to $40 a ton.

The court also rendered an opinion
in the suit brought by /. S. Thomp-
son against the Mims-Sutro Co., to
recover for attorney fees. Thomp-
son is an attorney of Goldfeld and
claims that he was employed by the
Mims-Sutro Company to represent it
in the organization of some eleven or
twelve corporations. He claimed
that he was employed by w. II. Lang,
the manager Of the Goldfeld Office
Of Mims-Sutro Co. Lang testified,
however, that he never employed
Thompson to represent the company,
but that whatever services were per-
formed by Thompson we're perform
ed for these various corporations.
The court held that Thompson failed
to prove the making of any contract
with the Mims-Sutro Company and
decided that the corporations for
whom the services were rendered
were liable for the amount.

JUDGE OBRIEN
CLEARS DOCKET
HIS HONOR WILL NOW TAKE A
VACATION OF SHORT
DURATION.

Yesterday was cleaning up day in
the District Court. Everything un-
der submission was cleared up by
Judge O'Brien and court adjourned
for two weeks, for which time his
honor takes a vacation.
One of the decisions handed down
was in the Ease of Ford and Clenden-
ming VS.. G. r. Brown, which is of the
utmost Importance to settlers on ag-
ricultural lands throughout the State,
recognizing, as it does, the rights of
first ~possessors on land as superior
to all others.
The case involved the right of pos
session to a tract of land situate near
Silver Bow, in this county, and called
the Breen ranch. The property is
part of the unsurveyed public domain
and no title could therefore be ac-
quired from the Federal Government.
Ford and Glendenning paid $1,000 for
the possessor right of Charles Will
liams, who had settled on the ground
some years ago. Williams enclosed
the property with a fence, and used
part of the land for raising hay, and
pastured other parts.
A small stream runs through the
land, and makes it very arabic. Ford
and Glendenning repaired the fences
and used the land for the same pur-
poses that Williams had used it. A
part of the fence was broken down
and Brown entered through this
| opening, and claimed that he intend
ed to apply to the land Office to enter
| the land as a homestead.
Judge O'Brien decided that Brown
could not intrude himself into the
possession of another. 1t is the pol.
icy of the Land Department of the
United States not to permit a person
to initiate a right to any part of the
public lands, or to GUST any prior
~possessor. The rule governing cases
of this kind has been declared ovel
and over again by the Supreme Court
of the United States, and by the APP
pellate Courts Of the Western States
where these lands are situated.
There are vast tracts of unsurvey
ed lands in the State, as was the cas-
in the early days of California. Il
the latter case the courts had t
make the laws to fit conditions. TIL
Federal Government encourages tn
settlement and retaining of Gov
eminent land, and proposes to pre-
tect people who do this work. Judg
O'Brien's decision is in line with thi
stand ON the part of the Govern
ment.

In the case of F. p. Hoffman VS..
Sheriff j. J.. Owens, in his official
capacity, judgment was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff.
The suit was brought by the A. ].
Pommer Company, a musical con-
Germ in San Francisco, against j.. II.
Hoffman and others to o some
thing over $1,000 for musical instru-
ments and supplies furnished to Mrs.
Hoffman, who conducted what was
called the House of Music. in this
suit an attachment was issued and
the sheriff levied upon the Hoffman
saloon. F. p. Hoffman, the brother
of j. H. Hoffman, claimed that he
was the owner of the saloon at the
time of the attachment. as his broth
er had sometime before sold it tc
him. 1t was claimed by the Pommel
Company that the sale was fraudu'
lent and that there had been no de
livery of possession from j. II. tC
f. p. Hoffman. The evidence intro
duced on the trial showed that there
had been a delivery and change O
possession as required by the law
and the Pommer Company failed t
prove their charge of fraud. Thu
court therefore decided in favor o
f. P. Hoffman.

is no denying the fact that women nova
days retain their youth both mentally and
physically much longer than their grand
mothers are related to have DONE
The dreary period of middle age for
women seems to have been abolished. The
increasing duties Of women and their far
greater freedom of choosing career and
leading lives after their own desire seems
to protect them from growing old and un-
interesting as was the case only genera
ton or SO ago. From the mans point Of
view the fact that his wife is experienced
and can carry her own end of the burden
at home is attractive to what seems to be
a rapidly growing number OF marriage
able men, The mature woman also fur
thers her husband in business and In
social advancement. Also she has learned
how to avoid many Of the pitfalls OF
society and rarely gives her husband the
uneasiness or heart burnings that younger
and more frivolous wives are very apt to
do. 1t is usually men anxious to succeed
in life and who care a great deal about
climbing up socially or financially who
wed women older than themselves. This
class has recently been especially notice
able in the big cities Of Europe and In
this country as web

1t may be said the main reason, is the
vogue of fancy fabrics which makes 1t
necessary to develop them In the Sim
plest and most artistic modes.
Velvet High style Fabric.
Velvet in the soft supple qualities
adaptable to the modes of the day is to
be used In dressy costumes again this
year. Its most popular color now seems
to be a rich purple prelat purple
of by trimmings of beautiful braids and
accessories Of costly fur, 1t is a shade
which looks well with any fur and con-
sequently we may expect to see it ac-
companied with the long. black glossy
Lynx, rich Sabes, Chinchilla and Err

Those who cannot afford the expendi-
ture which costume Of silk velvet nee
essarily entails, may choose velveteen
with the consciousness that 1t is just
as good style and will, in truth, give
twice the amount of wear for half the
cost.
Materials for Drcssy Costumes.
There Is such range of fashionable
materials for the gown which is to do
duty as a semi-dressy dinner frock,
calling and church costume, that one
cannot go wrong In selecting any one
of the beautiful weaves offered In the
shops today. All the soft silks, crepes,
lansdownes and the chiffon broadcloths
come in a bewildering range Of colors and
shades and these are easily matched at
the trimming counter in braids and hand.

and lansdownes are also attractively EN-
ployed in dainty house gowns made up
on simple empire and princess lines and
trimmed in the simplest way with fine.
lace, ribbon and hand embroideries Hand
embroideries by the way, are highly
priced in this seasons fashions, and the
girl who can elaborate her frocks with
her own handwork is indeed fortunate,
for the dressmaker made embroidered
frock is quite out of the question with
the average girl, so excessive are the
prices asked for such creations. On the
other hand, one can have the dress made
by some reputable establishment and sup
ply ones own handwork as the design Of
the costume demands or add such finish
ing touches after the gown has left the
costumer's hands.
Negligees.
Negligees are dainty articles Of the
trousseau which every prospective bride
loves almost as much as the wedding
gown. In these all sorts Of charming
effects are possible, and that too for
a small outlay of money. for there are
such delightful inexpensive fabrics which
one can develop lust as arristicalIy and
satisfactorily as the more expensive stuffs.
The lace bargain table is treasure trove
for the girl who simply must have one
of those ribbon and lace peignoirs,' and
those new Japanese landscape cotton
crspes make such delightful oriental look

The millinery this fall is unusually at
tractive, being of that picturesque type
