new incorporation

w. E. and John Casson, Cha les
Martin and Abe Cohn, all of this city
except Martin, who resides at Schurz,
have bonded a group Of copper claims
in the Walker river reservation to
Goldtield people for $4,000. The irst
payment on the property was made
yesterday in this city and the remain
der will be paid within a short time.
The property is located near Gillis
and is regarded as being very rich,
some of the ore from the claims run
ming very high IN copper. Local peo-
pie are also interested in several pro-
perties located in the neighborhood
and the bonding of this property has
resulted in considerable good feeling
The purchasers expect to begin worh
at once on the development of the
claims.

A T|REsOME BUSINESS

The people of San Francisco, who
are just recovering from the vista
tions of fire and earthquake are now
once more in the grip of the strike
combinations.
There is no city in the world today
where such high wages prevail as San
Francisco. Every one who wants
work can get it at the highest wages
known in the country
But the better the wages the better
the times the more discontinued the
people getting wages.
The ball led off with the strike Of
the telephone girls. They had some
grievance about lunch and went out.
1t is said that they made no effort to
arbitrate with the company or pres
ent any complaints, but simply got
! together and tied up the telephone
, service Of the entire city.
/ Then the metal workers and cleo,
| tricians, who had no trouble about
hours or wages went on sympath
etic strike. More tie ups and more
! bother for the public whose money
supports these institutions.
Next the carmen geot ousy and
without attempting to arbitrate stoI
all the cars running and there is
business cahos in San Francisco
AS far as the Appeal can learn nc
attempt is being made to arbitrate
anything, but both sides ready tC
=. spend every dollar they have coins
each other up.
If this matter is a question Of wage:
it would seem that the hundreds o
thousands Of dollars spent in Dribin:
Supervisors by the Telephone and
car companies might be uSei To let
ter advantage paying wages.
Then again We can look at the Othe
side and figure out that most Of tn
striking is being done at a tine whe
it will give the most incCnyeniCnc
to the public out of whose pocke
comes all the money that pays tn
wages and there you are.
If the public would vote for nun
cipal ownership and run their own te
ephones and car lines and max
every employee a stOckhOlder ther
might be a sessatiOn of the trouble
The public is certainly getting wear
of continued strikes.

LAST NIGHTS M|MsTREl.s'

The second night of the amatuer
minstrel performance drew nearly as
large a house as greeted them the
first night. This is a surprise to al
of Carson. where it is considered an
impossibility for local talent to give
a two nights performance. This must
prove that the show was way above
expectations. The program as pre-
-sented by Miss Page is certainly a
good one and was well carried out by
our local talent While much credit
is due that lady there is also much
nraise coming to the ladies and gen
tlemen who worked so falthfuiiy U
carry out her ideas. Carson is to be
congratulated that such credltaoie
performance can be put on the stage
by home talent.
The program was slightly varied
last night, the principal feature beine
the appearance of Mr.. Robert Roun
tree. This young man we can almost
claim as he spent so much of his
childhood days in Carson and is as
well known here as native son.
His impersonatiOns are up to the
standard of any professional. His
facial work is remarkably clever an(
his ease of manner is not that of the
amatuer. The audience appreciated
his effort and applauded him to thu
echo 1t is thought that the finance:
of the Leisure Hour Club will b.
considerably increased, but no fiugre
have been given yet.

CXTREM ELY RUDE

Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma tells
with great Slee OF a conversation that
took place between a Boston lady al
an Oklahoma man, with reference to
things western.
Il take it, ma'am" said the Okla
homan, that you have travelled con-
siderable in these Darts?"
Quite a good deal, answered the
Bostonian. AS far west as California
and -,evada, and | have spent some
time in Arizona
Have you ever seen the Cherokee
Stripe suddenly asked the Oklaho-
ma person.
ThereupOn ensued painful silence.
1t was plainly to be seen that the
Boston lady was much embarrassed.
In the first place, sir, I consider
your query extremely rude, and in
the second place, YOU might have
been more refined in your language
by asking me if l had seen the
Cherokee disrobe. e."-Lippincott's.

THE LEGION OF HONOR

On Wednesday a French delegate
pinned the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor on the lapel of Mr.. Carnegie's
coat
bestow at a peace conference. 1t was
invented by Napoleon to reward The
services of a brave soldier and seems
hardly a fitting tribute to bestow at
a conference intended to do away
with all necessity of further wars
While an old soldier might be proud
of this honor we can hardly imagine
Mr. Carnegie entitled to its signifi
canoe.

UNCLE SAM THE e. z. MARK

There is an investigation going on
which ought to show thick headed
Republicans the thievery of the tariff.
Charles A. Keen of New York has
placed in the possession of the PreSi-
dent a watch the product of the watch
trust which has been sold in Europe
at figure way below the cost of the
identical watch in the American
market.
The watch is presented as evidence
that there is a combination OF the big
ger watch manufacturers, a combina-
ton which the Department of Justice
is now investigating and which it is
believed will be brought to bar, when
the department ends its investigation
and legal action has bee ntaken to
bring to an end the operations of the
trust. The president will return the
watch to its owner when the inquiry
is ended.
1t has long been Mr.. keens bust
ness TO buy American exported
watches and sell them in the United
States at a figure substantially below
the wholesale selling price of the home
product. His business attracted the
attention of Representative Rainey of
Illinois, who took active steps upon
the floor of the House to expose the
watch trust.
After much pressure has been
brought to bear, the Department OF
Justice was moved to go after the
combination. A mass of evidence
was submitted by Representative
ised to go after the combination, bu
it is too near the next presidentia
election to think of such thing.
To better illustrate the idea AM
+ bring it nearer home, the proposition
is the same as if firm ran two store
one in Carson and one in Reno an
, sold the same goods cheaper in Ren
, than in Carson.
:. The Carson people would not stan
this sort of business, but the sam
man who would make lively outer

n lars by this system would stand tn

RAILROAD COMMISSION


Yesterday the Railroad Commission
held meeting and forwarded the fol-
lowing letter to H. c. Adams, chief
statistician of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Their effort to
relieve Nevada of the back-haul
freight which has oppressed the state
SO many years will be appreciated by
every business man of Nevada:
There is matter which most Wit
ally affects Nevada. 1t is the matter
of charges upon freight shipped from
eastern points to interior stations
with this state. For example: freight
which is billed for Wells or Elko or
full through rates to sacramento, sew
eral hundred miles further on, and
then local rates back to the Nevada
point of destination. No practice
with freight traffic in this state, in
nv judgement has contributed in so
marked a degree to the retarding of
Nevada's industrial and business de-
! velopment. We can imagine no prin-
| ciple Of railroad transportation, upon
| which such a method of charging can
! be defended 1t is our understanding
! that these charges are made pursuant
| to an order of the inter state COM
merce commission, based upon the
amendment to the original law. al
lowing a greater charge for a shorter,
than for longer haul. We are en-
tirely at loss to imagine upon what
basis Or showing the commission was
induced to permit such charges to be
made.
We can readily understand why
the car when unloaded would have
to be hauled long distances empty, to
points where other freights could be
obtained, should be higher, than when
they are unloaded at large CONNER
cial centers, where they can be i'm
mediately reloaded with freight for
other points.
But the charges as actually made
, seem to be out of all reasonable pro
portion, to the difference We have
suggested. Clearly it is less eXpen-
sive to haul an empty car from Elko
to Sacramento, or back to Ogden,
than it would be to haul one heavily
laden. Hence, at the very most, the
excess Of charge to Nevada point
should only be sufficient to pay the
railroad company for the loss of the
charges to a Nevada point, where
use of the car and the expense Oi
getting it back or forward, to some
point where it can be reloaded witt
freight. But instead of this, the
charge is the same as if the entire
load were hauled through to Sacra
mento, over the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and an equal load back to th
point in Nevada for which the freigh
:, was originally billed.
I'VE fear that it will take a Ion
time to educate either the people G
Nevada, as a body, or the members c
this commission, up to a full appr,
citation of the ethics Of the logic {
such a system of freight charges.
is not likely that this cOmmissio
will feel constrained to take tn
matter up specially, in the near f
ture, with the interstate commerC
commission"
