RAWHIDE THEME
Of DISCUSSION
STORIES OF RICH FINDS STIRS
THE ENTHUSIASM OF
EVERYBODY.

Rawhide was again the principal
theme of discussion in the camp yes
terday, for the stories brought back
from the land of gold by the Kendall
party fired the enthusiasm of every
body who read them, and there are
number of parties going out today
and tomorrow, weather permitting.
Besides Messrs. Kendall, Govan,
Thatcher and Douyherty, there also
arrived from Rawhide on Thursday
night, E. j. Collins, engineer for NAL
colin Macdonald Paul Tarpey and
Round Mountain Scotty. Every one
of this party had good things to say
for the camp and added his indorsa-
ment to what had been said for it
by those who came before.
The Grutt lease has turned out TO
be another wonder of the camp.
There are fourteen inches on the
hanging wall which go 1855 to the
ton, and the eighteen inches next to
this goes $50 to the ton. The val
ues in this are principally in gold.
Zeb Kendall and his party, at least
Roger Dougherty, will go back to
Rawhide tomorrow. w. w. Booth of
the Daily Bonanza, and new pro-
prietor of the Rawhide Rustler, will
also be one of a party leaving to-
morrow for the land of promise. This
morning, Key Pittman and a party
will leave for Rawhide. and AL Revert
of the Tonopah Lumber Company
will pilot another party. provided
that the weather holds fair. Mr.
Revert is going to Rawhide to look
over the ground, and will in all prob
ability establish branch of his lum-
Der company there. Dave Holland is
another who is booked for Rawhide
tomorrow, and he will probably put
in branch of the Tonopah Liquor
Company. There is getting to be
quite a colony of Tonopah people in
Rawhide, and the chances are that
it will be swelled before the month is
completed

The New Secretary Of War.

There can be no question over the

far East has shown himself man of
great ability and administrative capac-

His appointment brings up an inter-

President Roosevelt. He was first
appointed to office in the far East by
the former. on the Philippine COM
mission. He made good there and
was in turn made governor OF the is
lands and then our first ambassador

With the exception OF the Preside mt
himself, no one in the United states
has been so hearty champion Of the
ruling Roosevelt policies as Secretary
Taft. No one, not even excepting the
President, is SO we'll acquainted with
the different aspects of the problems
with which the government is dealing
in Cuba, in Porto Rico. in Panama ana
in the Pkilippines-vast and complex
problems involving not only the COM
Eercial but also the moral welfare OF
tile United States. We have great du-
ties still before us in these lands be
yond the continental border, and these
duties must be done prudent!y, yet
fearlessly We think that the people
can trust Mr.. Taft to see that these
duties are thus done. Nor is anyone
in the country better fitted by expert
ence and by temperament to keep
true balance between capital and labor
than the man who has successfully
been solicitor general, judge, the Pres
ident'S right-hand associate. Harmon
iZing the rights and obligations OF en-
blowers and the employed is one Of the
most delicate, one of the most lmpor-
tant questions of the day. We believe
that MIR. Taft Will lead the way to a
Just settlement of each succeeding
phase of this question. A vigilant pro
scouting officer and then righteous
judge, the secretary of war is remark
ably we'll equipped for the task of dl-
recting the government regulation of

Taft has won the respect and conf

those nations of the Orient with whom
our relations are at once close ana
complicated Tie esteem in which he
is held abroad is one of his most strik-
ing qualifications for the presidency.
Therefore, on this and all the other
counts we have mentioned the cunven-

be elected, and we also predict that his
