About Mizpah and Other TOwnsites

Mizpah is locathd at the mines and
the locality of the Mizpah townsite is
absolutely the only suitable ground
adopted for townsite purposes on ac-
count of a peculiar natural feature,
which is level open space extending
to the mines, similar to Ely, the sur
rounding land being mounta nous.
There is a natural flow of sprirg
water on the Mizpah towhsite which
will be developed sufficient for ali
usages.
1t is probable that there will be sup
port for another townsite at Spruce
Station where there must be a ware
house. switch and station agent
In regards to other townsites in the
vicinity of Mizpah l will state for the
benefit of the public that there is room
enough in the Steptoe valley below

KILLED IN SHAFT
OF STAR POINTER
Steve DOtOIick Gave Wrong Signal
and Is Crushed to Death
By CrOss.Head

Death was the penalty Steve Dotolick
paid yesterday for giving wrong sig
nal in the Star Pointer shaft of the
Nevada Consolidated. Dotolick had
been employed at the shaft since Feb
ruary 1st, and it was his duty to send
up the loaded buckets.
One bell was the signal to send up
the buckets. This signal was given
yesterday afternoon, and the engineer
obeyed. A moment later the cable
Jared as though it had met some OBJ
stacle. The engineer stopped the en-
CINE and waited for another signal. 1t
did not come. Then an investigation
was made and Dotolick's body was
found jammed between the cross-head
and the shaft timbers.
1t is believed that he gave the wrong
signal and attempted to correct his
mistake and was caught between the
cross head and timbers.
Justice of the Peace Cartwright
summoned jury to inquire into the
accident. A verdict was returned that
Doto .ick's death was due to his own
carelessness.
The dead man was about 40 years

What was his name? | do not know

Brought all he loved o 'er across the sea,
and prairie
To live and work for God-and me;
Felled the ungracious oak, with horrid
toll;
Dragged from the soil
The thrice gnarled roots and stubborn
rock;
With plenty filled the haggard mountain
side.
And when his work was done, without
memorial died.
No baring trumpet sounded out his
fame;
He lived he died, do not know his
name.
No form of bronze and no memorial
stones
Show me the place where lie his mould
ering bones.
Only cheerful city stands,
Builded by his hardened hands;
Only ten thousand homes,
Where every day
The cheerful play
Of love and hope and courage comes;
These are his monuments, and these
alone
There is no form of bronze and no me-
mortal stone.
And |?
Is there some desert or some boundless
sea
Where thou, Great God of angels, wilt
send me?
Some oak for me to rend, some sod
For me too break.
Some handful of thy corn to take
And scatter far afield
Till it in turn shall yield
Its hundredfold
OF grains of gold
To feed the happy children of my God
Show me the desert, Father, or the sea,
Is it thine enterprise? Great God send
