BLIND WHITE RATTLEsNAKEs
 IN A cHIRIcAHUA CAVE

Somewhere in the Chiricahua noun tains is cave-a great abysmal open ing in the abdomen of one of those beautiful mountains-which Is beauti- ful beyond the vocabulary of ordinary man to describe but which is made hideous by hundreds of blind white rattlesHakes whose misses and rattIes make of the cavern a place as near resembling inferno as any that has yet been discovered on earth. All it needs to make of 1t the perfect pro fane idea of what is hell really is a little red fire and person with horns and bifurcated hoofs. All the rest is there. Underneath the feet are hun dreds of seething snakes of white as pure and unsullied as the driven snow. Ceiling about one another and so thick that one cannot keep from treading on then, maybe to receive a
 fatal bite-(for no one knows but that the virus of these white snakes, blinded by an age long heritage of darkness, carries added potency)-in their blinded way they strike to the right and left of them. not knowing at what they are striking but knowing a foe is in their presence. Above the low uncanny noise which arises from their wriggling over the loose rocks and fragments of stalactite. and the hissing of a thousand forHed tongues. may be heard the well defined and sharp buzzing of multiplied thousands of rattles, as, hoisted in the air, above their curling lengths they bid defiance to encroachers. A light is turned on them and they scamper back into the bowels of the earth. Perhaps they do not see the light. for they are blind, but they know of supernatur
 al condition in their cavern home. They hiss. uncoil themselves and run until they are again wrapped in inky darkness. Then they stop and again prepare to strike. Once more the ter

ARE AFTER COAL IN
 GRAHAM IN EARNEST

In the Black Mesa forest reserve Graham county, there has for mum Der of years been known to exist coal blossom and strong formation indicat ing large coal deposits. From time to time there have been reports of the conditions extant which have at tracted attention. but until recently no serious effort was made to get after values in earnest. Of the prog ress of late efforts the Graham coun ty Guardian has the following en- couraging report:
 On Thursday last Peter Andarsan and Thomas Cunningham returned from the coal fields on the Blac; Mesa Forest Reserve and this we, made a report to the people who h. made entries of this land and who secured the services of these gentr men to prospect the ground
 MT. Cunningham had visited the-e claims twice before and had made a careful survey of all land entered and has always been very enthusiastic over the outlook, and while his re- port to his people is very favorable he talks but very little about it. A shaft was sunk thirty feet deep, or until they struck so much water that they could not handle it. Three veins of good coal were encountered They were in the vein when water was encountered.
 Before any more work can be done the gentlemen owning the land will procure hoisting works and pumps and be in position to handle any conditions they may encounter. The shaft is to be sunk at leastt 100 feet and timbered. There is no question about it being coal country and those who have entered the land are determined to develop it into paying coal mines.

It is good to see the New Mexican of Santa Fe again in the harness for single statehood. The New Mexican and foolish politicians of New Mexico did much harm to the cause of sin gle statehood for that territory last year by agreeing to accept the joint statehood bill. Now that joint state hood is dead, We hope forever, the New Mexican can depend on Arizona for all possible help in the fight for the admission of New Mexico.

A VERY RECKLESS MAN.

There are some issues no policy of evasion can successfully ignore. Among them are the righteous re vision of the out-grown taTiff and the strife for mastery between the gov ernment and the corporations. There fore it is that we rejoice that Candf- date Fairbanks, during his brief visit to this state, frankly, fully and cour- ageously revealed his convictions on these issues.
 The Express favors the nomination of William H. Taft but in fair cour- tesy to his opponent. with the office tongs We extract these burning utter ances from his rivals impassioned speeches on the subjects named:
 Honesty is the best policy. A pen ny saved is a penny earned. Be vir- tuous and you will be happy Our country must and shall be preserved. o. who would tear that tattered en- sign down!"
 Perhaps a little too much hostility to corporations, too much difference to popular convictions, crept into this eloquent denunciation of watered stock. Ever remember. my fellow citizens, a rolling stone gathers no noss-no moss, or but very little, and that little said to be, or SO it is stated by some at least, of poor quality"
 We respectfully submit to those who support MT Fairbanks. that while it is well for a candidate to have and exhibit courage. he should be re- strained rom impetuously casting all discretion on last years ash heap. It Is our profound conviction that Mir. Fairbanks is positively reckIess.-Los Angeles Express.

INSULTING VOTERS.

hiNSS
 The most striking feature of MT. Taft's Lexington speech was his state ment that the south has permitted the shadow of an issue trace question: to bind it to the democratic party, no matter what principles or candidates that party adopts Continuing MT. Taft said:
 If only under the influence of Pres ident Roosevelt's administration some of the southern states, including Ken lucky, could be led into the republi- can column in accordance with the real sympathies of the voters of those states. it would be the crowning glory of his administration. It will not nee essarily work for the benefit of the re- publican party in the end because the closeness with which the southern states have united in support of dem oCratiC candidates nas introduced similar cohesion among the northern states, and VIC might expect more in dependence of voting at the north if the voters were not confronted with the solidarity of the south. As an American citizen, and lover of my country. long for the time when the south shall be received again in the councils of the nation, and when the people of that section shall resume the influence to which they are en- titled and which they deny themselves by being frightened at a mere ghost of the past"
 A Washington correspondent is of the opinion that with these few words the presidents candidate for presi- dent insults and loses the solid south he hopes to break, and helps to break the solid north he assumes is won. For the south to be told that she has supported a party regardless of it's candidates or principles, that her statesmen have not had a part in the councils of the nation; for the north to be told that her lack of independ- ence in voting is due 10 the solidarity of the south, woulc even be Insult enough were it true. It is doubly an insult in that it is absolutely false.
 It comes with peculiarly bad grace from the spokesman and legatee of the Roosevelt administration to slur the part southern statesmanship is playing in the councils of the nation. It is bad grace because the Roosevelt administration has drawn the majOri- ty of its most effective and popular measures from democratic platforms drafted in part by southern states men. It is doubly in bad grace be cause when republicans were fighting the presidents policy he had to sap peal to a Tillman of South Carolina, a Culberson and Bailey of Texas, and 10 other southern statesmen to cham pion his measures and save them from defeat at the hands of his own fellow partisans Even then had the presi- dent stood by his southern allies who so brilliantly fought or the battlefield republicans had deserted, his rate bill would have been a far more effective measure than it now Is. It is indeed a great insult to the voters north and south to be told that instead of de cidiug questions fairly on their merits, they have on one hand let the buga- boo of race differences. and on the other the solidarity of the south. in terfere with their judgment and con victions.

THE NEW TUCSON sTA7.

The new Tucson Star, issued Sun day morning, is a distinct surprise. TO say that the management has sur passed all expectations is to put it mildly, for not only the readers, but the critical newspaper men, agree that it is the best newspaper ever printed in Arizona.
 The Tucson Daily Star, as it appears today, reflects great. credit upon the new management, the State Consoli- dated Publishing Company. It means even more than that. The City of Tucson, by making such a newspaper possible, has opened the eyes of the Southwest to it's own prog ress and enterprise, which have re- gently been in evidence over more or less limited area. Now, thanks to the newspapers and their progress, the fame of Tucson as one of the best cities in the Southwest, will spread ,z.e: . cd .s.sse::4ee e: fec hese viousIy II was known in counties.
 The history of the State Consoli- dated Publishing Company, which now controls four of the leading news papers of Arizona, is given in the Star of Sunday. It makes interesting reading and is reproduced as follows:
 The Star this morning is published under the control and management of the State Consolidated Publishing Company and the State Consolidated Publishing Company is controlled and managed by Geo, H. Kelly. President w B. Kelly, Gen. Mgr. and 4. VI Kelly, Treasurer.
 The origin of this company dates back to 1890, seventeen years ago. when Geo. H. Kelly and W B. Kelly left Tucson where they were at that tina emfioyed or the Tucson papers, and went to Graham county. An interest was purchased in the Bull ledn Printing and Publishing G., which company was at that time print ing the Valley Bulletin Later, all the stock of this company was pur- chased by Geo. H. Kelly For ten years the Bulletin was published at solomonville and gained wide cir culation in all counties of the terri tory. In 1900 " B. Kelly went to Bisbee and purchased the newspaper plant of the old ~Cochise Review owned by the Bisbee News Company The Review at that time was losing proposition, and several politicians who were being called upon regularly to put up, were anxious to part with it.

HENRY HElTMAN
SELLS HIS FARM

Henry Stodieck, this week pur-
chased the Henry Heitman ranch
and as soon as his successor can be
found to take charge of the Douglas
county Creamery, he will move his
family to his newly acquired prop
erty. Mr.. Stodieck, has been
contemplating the purchase of a
farm for some time and visited
different farming communities in
this State with a view of purchas-
ing but finally concluded that
Carson Valley offered best oppor-
tunities. Tho Heitman ranch is
one of the best farming properties
IN the Valley and the price which
Mr.. Stodieck paid is $22, 900.
Mr.. Stodieck has had charge Of
the creamery for the past two years
and he has successfully conducted
the institution which has done so
much for the farmers of this Valley.

CLAIMS MISS HEITMAN
FOR HIS BRIDE.

A pretty home wedding was
solemnized at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Heitman of this Valley last We'd
nesday afternoon. The contract
ing parties were Miss Lena Heit-
man, their eldest daughter, and
John Christensen. F. H. Menzen
was the offici ting clergyman who
who tied the nuptial knot pro-
nouncing the ceremony which un-
tied the lives of these estimable
young people. The wedding was a
quiet one and was witnessed only
by immediate relatives of the bride
and groom and a few intimate
friends.
The bride is one of Carson valleys
fairest daghters who by her kind
and gentle ways has gaind a
wide circle of friends. The groom
is native of Carson Valley but a
few years ago he took up his resi-
dence at Sebastapol, Cal, where
he entered the fruit growing busi-
ness. During his stay at that place
he has prospered but the fond love
which he held for this lady, caused
him to return to Nevada to choose
his life companion.
The young couple will reside at
Sebastapol where the groom has a
beautiful home.
We join with the many friends
of the young couple in wishing
them long life of welded bliss.

Mining man IS MOI
SQUARE.

Mr.. Olmstead, a would-be mining
promoter, who performed several
little stunts in this vicinity which
have, at this time, the ear-marks of
frand, quietly folded his tent last
Saturday evening and with Rev.
Emigh's horse and rig, drove to
Carson, leaving the horse in a
stable and telling the stable ma II
that the owner would call for it
and then left for parts unknown.
Rev. Emigh is spending a month
in Colorado and it is quite probable
that his horse will be kept in the
Carson livery stable until he
returns to claim it.

NEVADA CLIMATE
IS CHANGING

The climatic conditions OF Ne
vada during the past year have
led to considerable theorizing. The
climate seems to be growing more
rainy. Even the deserts are being
delayed with the moisture OF the
clouds; and such trifles as showers
are OF weekly and sometimes daily
occurrence. This raing state is by
some alleged to be due to the San
Francisco earthquake of year ago.
Others say the formation OF the
Salton Sea in southern California
by the overflow OF the Colorado
river is responsible. A few know
ing ones contend that the equaliza-
ton and agitation of the air
currents are doing the tricks.(I is
to be admitted that the burro and
prospector did lot create much OF
a disturbance of the air during their
meanderings and wanderings over
the vastness Of the desert.) And
then there are those who insist that
the electricity now being used SO
greatly for power light, and trans
mission, is accountable for the in
creased rainfall. 1t is very likely
that there are dozens of other
plausible theories, but whate yer be
the reason or the cause it is quite
evident that increased precipitation
of the wet goods is happening
regularly and gladdening the hearts
Of the receivers thereof. Soon all
the wastes will bloom with verdure;
and barren lands will be things OF
the unknown past. Very well;
there will be no heart-aches here.

Gray Is Humorous.

A Mr.. Gray, mining and former
newspaper man of Colorado drop
ped into this Office few days ago.
We asked him to furnish us with a
little copy and he Immediately got
busy with the typewriter and the

which he gives of himself he is a

ry looking specimen of humanity,

rado, made trip to Hope Valley
last Wednesday with Chas. Schu-
man as his guide. He inspected
thr Coppernose property also some
zinc groupings and returned
thoroughly convinced that DR..
Hickok and f. Christensen are in
line to become millionaires. He ad-
vised the editor to pawn his watch
and buy stock while it is cheap.

follow his advice as he used to be
in the newspaper business himself
and we about know how reliable
such advice is.

SECRET ORDER
QUITS BUSINESS

A little over year ago several
girls Of this Valley organized a
secret order and none but those
taking the oath of the degree were
mad. acquainted with its purposes.
The members wore fraternity
pin and the letters "B. G. c." were
inscribed thereon. OF course there
was much anxiety among the
younger set, especially in the young
men in regard to the purpose OF the
order. This week the organiz-
ton ceased to be and the members
met ior the last time and after en-
joying banquet which toasts were
made to each member, for the
manner in which they kept invio-
etc the secrets of The order and
then, the fraternity pins and para
phernalia were DESTROYED. We
interviewed one OF the young ladies
yesterday and in answer to one oi
our questions she replied, dyes, il
true that our order is now a thing
of the past, but it was brought
about by mutual consent of the
members. What was the object of
the society? Well the letters that
were on the pins explains it ALL"
After much coaxing the young lady
informed us that "B. G. c." sto, d
for "Bach elor Girls Club" but
with ali their sacred vows to the
contrary, every one of the members
have become engaged and at
least two of them are contracting
parties to June weddings.

Graduating Exercises Held
BY High School.

The graduting exercises of the
Gardnerville High School which
were held in Valhalla hall last
Friday evening can be classed as
one of the most important school
events to take place in this county
for some years past. Five
scho ars received their diplomas
from the Gardnerville school and
while it is not an accredited school
yet the graduates can successfully
enter the Freshman class of the
State University.
A large crowd of friends gathered
at the hall to listen to the essays
of the members OF the class and all
were we'll pleased with what they
heard. Samuel Harris had the
salutatory in hand and his words
were well chosen and his delivery
excellent. Fredia Lampe, followed
with an essay on "What a Good
Name Stands For" and she handl-
ed her theme in a most convinc-
ing way and is young lady of
more than ordinary ability. "On
to Success" was the theme chosen
by Emma Henningsen and if the
