1t has been decided to call the town
at the new copper strike in Esmeralda
county Copperfeld Otto Taubert and
Fred J. Bowman, of this place, are the
owners of the townsite which is situated
at the old station of Acme Tanks on the
Nevada and California railroad. Mr.
Taubert came in from Copperfeld yes
terday and reports much activity in the
new camp. He brought with him the
first copy of the Copperfeld News, pub
1ished by ]. H. Buck and printed at his
Office at Nina. Arrangement have been
made for postoffice and express Office
at Copperfeld and much building will
be done as soon as lumber can be OBJ
tanned. Besides being interested in the
townsite Messrs. Taubert and Bowman
have some very promising claims in the
camp, and Mr.. Taubert this week pur-
chased five claims known as the Big Nit
group from Hawthorne people,
paying good round price for the same.
There have been some sales of properties
in the new camp and Col. Posey is now
there with view of picking up what he
can at reasonable figures. The camp
will no doubt be hummer this Sum-
mer, as everybody who comes from there
says the goods are there, in the way of
copper, to deliver.

1T is with considerable satisfac-
tion that the people of Nevada
notice how Wall Street is taking
up Nevada stocks and advising the
purchase of the best mining secur-
tiles. The Wall Street News, a
daily resume of all stock transac-
tons, is now advising investment
in quite a number of Nevada min
ing stocks. Of course it is taking
only the legitimate propositions
that have shown merit. Not long
ago it was hard for Nevada to find
any friends on Wall Street and
the same paper which is now
boosting Nevada, wanted to have
the State cut in two and half given
to California and the other half to
Utah. 1t is with some degree of
satisfaction, also, that we note that
such stocks as the Nevada Doug
las, Mason Valley, Yerington Cop
per and one or two others are at
tracing the attention of Wall
Street dealers. These properties
are all in the Yerington district,
and from all indications there will
be more companies mentioned be-
fore the Summer is over. Without

LET YERINGTON GET
THIS BUSINESS

To the west of us lies one of the
greatest copper belts in the State
of Nevada. The mines in this
belt are being developed into pay
ing propositions rapidly, and the
companies who are developing
them are doing considerable bust
ness in Yerington Yerington is
the nearest point to all that terri
tory to the west as far as the Pine
Nut range, and is the natural sup
ply point for that district. But
there are others who are seeking
the trade of these mining cop,pan-
les as far away as Carson and
Gardnerville. The people of Doug
las county propose to build wag
on road to the Buckskin country
and bid for the trade of mining
companies in that entire district,
and the only way the people of
Yerington can keep the trade is to
provide good roads to the mines.
Roads from this place would be
much shorter and cost less to con-
struct.
Some months ago plan was on
foot to improve the road from this
place to the Douglas mine, up past
the Bluestone. At this time the
Nevada Douglas people agreed to
do considerable work in improv-
ing this road and cutting down
the grade on the other side of the
range. The County Commission
ers of Lyon also made an appro-
priation of $500 to aid in this
work. So far nothing has been
done to improve the road.
There is another proposition on
foot now to fix up the Mickey
Pass road SO that it can be travel
ed. This would be the shortest
route to the Ludwig mine, the
Copper Queen and numerous
other properties in that section, as
we'll as Buckskin and Smith Val
ley. The Mickey Pass road is
now in bad condition and it
would take quite little money to
repair it-whether it could be fixed
as cheaply as the road by way of
the Nevada Douglas is question.
However. something should be
done by the people of Yerington
and Lyon county to give us easy
communication with the mines, so
that it would be convenient for
the mine owners to trade with us,
and the sooner this is done the
better. 1t is matter that the
Commissioners should look into
and which the business men of
this place should lend helping
hand. 1t goes without saying that
the mining companies will do their
share of the work.

WESTERN UNION EXPLAINS
INCREASE IN RATES
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 31.-Concerning
the recently announced advance in the
rates charged by the company, Col. r.
c. Clowry, president OF the Western
Union Telegraph company, said to-
night:
"There has been nothing like gen.
eral increase in rates by the telegraph
companies.
"A number of special and Improbable
rates have been increased to the stan
dard of schedule rates. These special
rates were discriminatiVe against a
large number of places and were orig
iEally established by competing COM
panies which by reason thereof went
into bankruptcy Most of the rates in
creased were % cents for ten words.
1t costs at least 30 cents each to handle
such messages for short distances at
the present time.
THE increase in the cost of tele-
graph materials has been from 25 to
100 per cent within the last few years.
I'm addition to the recent |, creases
of 10 per cent In the salaries of all
managers and operators, there has been
for years past large and steady in
crease in wages of all classes of in
dlyidual employees frop month to
month.
There is no increase in the extra
word rate, consequently the newspaper
rates remain the same"

which were not useful elsewhere.

emphasis.

CAPTURES BURGLAR;
FINDS LOST SON
NEBRASKA RANCHER FINDS
PR0DIGAL
cornered While Robblng His Parents
Home, Young Man Tries to Con-
ceaI His Identity After
Twenty Years Absence
BY Associated Press.

TYRON, Neb., March 31.-Richard
Kempthorne, a ranchman living a few
miles west of here, captured a burglar
in his house one night recently and the
next morning discovered that the burg
lar was his own son, Benjamin Kemp
thorne, who mysteriously disappeared
from his home twenty years ago and
whom his father had long mourned as
dead.
Kempthorne was awakened from a
sound sleep by the burglar about mid
night, and getting his revolver set out
to capture him,
The burglar was leisurely going
| through the drawers of a dresser in the
bedroom occupied by Kempthorne's
young daughter Mary, who was spend
| ing the night at the home of a neigh
Dor, when the ranchman slipped
stealthily up and stuck a revolver un-
der his nose. The burglar was so
taken by surprise that he offered no
resistance.
"Well, old man, l guess you've got
me-" he said quietly.
"I reckon 1 have" said Kemp
thorne.
Burglar Bound
Kempthorne called his two hired men
and with a stout rope tied his prisoner
hand and foot. When Kempthorne saw
his prisoner the next morning he stag
gered as If he had been shot and ex-
claimed in an agonized voice, MY God!
It's my own Benz"
The burglar acknowledged his iden-
tity and told his father and mother the
story of his life, or part of it, after his
mysterious disappearance from his
home.
Most of his twenty years absence
had been spent tramping over the
country. Last winter he had fallen i'll
and nearly died. When he was able to
be UP and about after his Illness he
set out for his old home. resolved to
ask his parents forgiveness and to re-
form and lead a sober, honest life.
When he reached the ranch on which
much of his boyhood had been spent
an Irresistible impulse came over him,
he said, to break into the house.
Photo Touches Him
Among other things he found in the
dresser drawers was a gold locket con-
tanning a photograph of himself taken
when he was a child and lock CT his
own hair.
A feeling of shame and remorse swept
over him, he said, when he looked upon
his photograph and the lock of hair
and he had to struggle hard to keep
from breaking down and awakening his
father and mother, telling them who
he was and begging them TO take him
back to their hearts and their home.
He was still Waging this battle with
his better self he told his parents,
when his father suddenly appeared be-
fore him with a revolver. Then his
only desire was to control his identity
and to make his escape.

Diplomats Agree That Reciprocal Re.

BY Associated press.

! BY Associated Press.
| RAPOLLA, Italy, March 3i.-Orig-
inally it was intended by Prince Won
Buelow, the German imperial chan
cellor, and signor Tittoni, the Italian
minister Of foreign affairs, that not the
slightest political Importance should be
attached to their meeting here today.
But after the conference this morning
It was decided to issue an official state
ment which follows:
This morning there took place long
an amicable discussion between Prince
Won Buelow and Signor Tittoni. AL
though the conference was not brought
about by political reasons naturally the
subjects of conversation were the poll
tical questions now occupying the in
ternational field.
The conversation demonstrated again
the complete and full correspondence
of the ideas of the two statesmen.
Although the strictest secrecy is
maintained concerning the meeting of
the diplomats, 1t seems that the chief
discussion was concerning the efficiency
and strength of the triple alliance, and
that il was especially agreed that re-
ciprocal relations between Austria and
Italy should be strengthened, as the
greatest danger threatening the two
powers was a conflict between them
selves which the triple alliance wished
to avoid.
1t is expected the conferences will
end when Prince Won Buelow and Sig
nor Tittoni meet Baron Aehrenthal, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister.
1t is asserted that the German chan
cellor is not opposed to the principle of
a general limitation of armaments, but
that he will reserve his actual adhesion
to it until practical way for its appli-
cation is found.

by Associated Press,
NEW YORK, March 31.-Easter Sum
day for Harry Thaw in the Tombs
was made more cheerful by visit
from his wife, TO whom had been grant
ed special permit TO pass the after
noon with her husband.
When Mrs. Thaw left she spoke for
the first time since the tragedy last
June to reporters.
Harry grows more cheerful and sat
isfied with the way his affairs are pro-
crossing every day." she said. Like
all the rest of us, he Is perfectly con-
fident that the commission will find
him sane and that the trial will go on.
He even talked today of being free
next Sunday and planned how we
would dine together"
Thaw attended the Easter service
conducted by Rev. DR.. Sanderson in
the morning. None OF his counsel visit
ed him during the day. He will consult
with his lawyers tomorrow as to prob
able developments before the commits
sion, which convenes at 10 o'clock.
Tonight Clifford w. Hartridge, the
attorney of record in the Thaw case,
spent about forty minutes with his
client In earnest consultation. He let
il be inferred later that he was well
satisfied with the showing made by his
client before the lunacy commission
and that the resumption of the trial
was practically. certain.
1.-THE defense will offer no witnesses
before the commission" said Daniel
O'Reilly, who has charge of the prac-
tical end of the Thaw case. mo alien
lists will be called to testify to the
present mental condition of the de-
fendant, although the district attorney
has the promise of the commission to
hear his witnesses on three points. Drs.
Gregory, Pilgrim and White, who were
witnesses for the defense, will not be
called, because their aff1davits were
not fled with the afhdavits of the
other experts.
''It is probable DR.. Hamilton may be
excluded entirely, not because he de-
clines to waive his professional privi-
lege, but because what he could tell
would be too remote to determine the
present condition of this defendant.
The last time DR.. Hamilton had an op-
portunity to make an observation of
scientific value was in July, 1906"
