New Justice
Is Appointed

w. F. Connell received the
appointment as justice of the
peace of Phoebe township at the
last meeting of the board of
commissioners, and having filed
his official bond, which was ap-
proved, is now qualified to act.
Mr.. Connell is a man of sound
judgment and a 'stickler" for
what is right, and we can be-
speak for him a conscientious
and intelligent conduct of the
affairs of the office.
The first case to come before
the new Justice was that of the
State VS.. Susan Morgan. Mrs,
Morgan was hailed before the
court on a charge of threaten
ing to kill, sworn to by John
Morgan. The defendant was
represented by Judge Breeze.
After listening to the testimony,
the court decided that there was
not sufficient evidence to hold
the defendant and ordered hel
released, asserting in the opin,
ion that it appeared to the
court that the law might have
been bent a little. but it had no
been broken, therefore the de
fendant is discharged"

New York Market News

A local financial writer points
out that though business on the
New York stock exchange has
fallen to a very low ebb, during
the past few months, business
on the Consolidated stock ex-
change, where most of the small
lot trading is done, has kept up
pretty well. The Consolidated
exchange did 2, 438, ,710 shares in
June this year, as against 2, 869, :
600 share in June last year; the
decrease in business being COM
paratively unimportant. 1t is
pointed out that this fact shows
that the small lot buyer is awake
to the opportunities which exist
at the present time to get Sc
curities at prices under their
real value.
| stated last week that the
turn in the market had come and
predicted from now on the course
of the market would be steadily
upward. The average of prices
today on the stock exchange is
fully two and a half points above
the average of last week. The
market still continues dull and
slow, but prices are hard and the
indications are bullish.
Of the London list, Esperanza
continues the most active, with
Camp Bird, Ell Orc and Tomboy
following in the order named
Ell Orc is especially favored al
the present time, on account ot
the magnificent developments il
the lower part of the mine. Tn,
stock is a speculative purchase
for profits.

to appoint a successor at the last
meeting, although applications
for the position were received
from Frank C. Walker, formerly
deputy sheriff here, and Hans
Olson of Caliente.
The reason given by the board
for not appointing a successor at
this time land which we believe
is a good one) was that at the
present time, the sum of $725
remains unaccounted for in the
sheriff's Office. This was caused
by no fault of the sheriff or his
deputies, but by the failure of
the Searchlight Bank & Trust
Company. 1t had been the GUS
tom of Deputy Howe of Search
light, to deposit the collections
and transmit by check to the
principal Office. This was done
in this instance, but before the
collection was made the bank
| failed.
The deputy asked to be re-
leased from liability by the CON-
missioners, and it was to give
an opportunity to get legal ad-
vice on the matter and to make
an investigation that, the matter
of making an appointment Of a
successor to Sheriff Smith was
continued until the August meet
ling.

til it is turned over. Mr.. Joseph
Deidrich, who is we'll known
throughout this country as a
builder of great merit has re-
ceived the contract to install the
machinery, which gives the as
suarance that it will be speedily
completed.
The Company will now be in
a position to rush the sinking of
this shaft to the levels of the
ore body determined by the dia-
.mond drill. 1t will be remem-
bered that some phenomenal

Operations were suspended for
a time in order that the neces-
sary machinery could be gotten.
With this on the ground, and

This week two car loads of
mining machinery arrived at the
local depot for the Nevada-Des
Moines Corporation. In this
can be found all the necessary
engines, compressors and drills
for the successful operation of a
mine, and when installed will be
one of the most complete plants
in this section.
Manager Mahedy states that
in ordering, every effort was
made to have the plant modern
in every particular and in look
ing over the different parts leads
to the conclusion that he had
succeeded.
In the two cars there are over
thirty-fve thousand pounds,
comprising a 40-horse power
gasoline engine, air compressor,
lngersoll air drills, rails, cars,
buckets, piping and tools of diff

who are to be congratulated on
the excellent manner in which
the arrangements were carried
out.
The first event on the pro-
gram and which created con-
siderable interest was the drill
contest. Four teams were en-
tered in this event and the close
ness which marked the result,
demonstrated that the teams
were quite evenly matched. The
competing teams were Pierson
and Deck, Carter and Empy,

sen and Marqueson. Pierson

closest competitors being Carter
and Empy.
This is the second time that
Plerson and Deck have carried
off the honors and have proven
themselves hard team to beat.
j. P. Fitzgerald did the sharpen
ing for the winning team, while
Doc" Buchanan sharpened for
Carter and Empy. The match
was a very interesting one and
demonstrated that Phoebe has
some experts with the hammer.
In the afternoon numerous
sports were had on Lacour
street.
The literary progam was ex-
ceptionally well rendered, being
in the following order:
| Opening remarks, Hon. T. ].
Osborne; Star Spangled Banner,
Chorus; Medley, Pioche Glee
Club; address. Jesse Simmons;
Columbia, Chorus; recitation,
"Mr. Brown Has His Hair Cut, +"
Miss L. Fieldson; Medly, Phoebe
Glee Club; the closing selection,
the rendition of America by the
| Chorus.
The sports were also very in
teresting and furnished amuse-
ment for old and young alike.
Space will not permit mention
of the events other than the
most important. The 100 yard
dash was won by Highly; the
nail driving contest by Miss Mil
Ter; tug of war between the
married and single men, resulted
in victory for the benedicts.
In the evening one of the most
enjoyable dances of the season
was held in Thompson's Hall.
On the Fifth the horse races
at the four mile house were very
good. The principal event was
between Tracey, belonging to
j. A. Nesbitt and the black
; owned by the Boston & Phoebe
Company. Tracey proved an
easy winner and made a good
showing, when it is considered
that he was in no condition to
run, having been i'll for some
; time past. The little black horse
! also demonstrated that he has
, some class.
The saddle horse races were
also enjoyed very much, and the
crowd was certainly pleased to
see the grey pony owned and
ridden by little David Lloyd
carry off the honors. This race
r was run in three heats. In the
first the grey was an easy win
ner. The second was won by a
: bay horse owned VIM. Culver
well. In the final run by the
two winners, the bay horse fell,

however, no injuries to either

Secretary Garfield, in his annual
report, recommends that the govern
ment retain title to the extensive
coal lands in the West and in Alas
ka which are still within the public
domain, and that their development
be permitted under leases, as is the
practice in Australia, in some of the
Western States, and in the East,
where the coal lands are owned by
private individuals. This plan is
part of the great general policy of
the conservation of national re-
sources of forest, mine, waterways,
and water power that President
Roosevelt is endeavoring to develop
along systematic lines. But unless
Mr.. Roosevelt or his immediate sue
cessor can force the appropriate
from an unwilling Con-
gress, there is every prospect that
the serious b1under of permitting
the monopo1ization of the Western
coal fields will be committed.

sister who is dangerously i'll.
James Grady ST.. died at his home
in this town on Tuesday, February
II, at the age of 90 years, 7 months
and 20 days. Mr.. Grady settled in
this town on the farm where he died,
about the year 1870. He was taken
sick on Sunday, the 9th inst, but
after visit from his physician he
seemed to recover rapidly. Tuesday

with his grandchildren until about

stroke of apoplexy from which he
died at 800 p. m. He leaves sur

Mont.
The funeral services were held
last Friday morning at the Big
River Catholic church, and his
remains buried beside those of
his wife who died in July, 1884, and
three children who died in infancy.
AS boy Of nine or ten years Of
age the writer will always remem-
Der his kindly, genial smile which
was familiar to all his neighbors and
friends. Extending our sympathies
to the surviving members Of the
family, who were old pIaymates and
schoolmates, we bid our old friend
who is gone fond farewell.
James Grady Jr. came home tc
