Back of the announcement .ssuet

G. Bartlett, had been summarily dis

order Of President Roosevelt Is a
story which has been whispered In
Needles, California. but which unti
now was only half believed in the
little townon the Colorado.
That the President considered llr-
Bartlett Is offense too grave to neces
state more formal action is evidenced
by the fact that he ordered the ply.

Before disappointment 10 the Indian
service last June Bartlett was prae'
tieing physician in Rome, y. T. where
he had lived with his wife for fif
teen years He made his appearance
in Needles. however, and, posing as
n bachelor, soon established reputa.
tion as good fellow in the little
community. The few automobiles the
town boasts used to carry prospeetors
into the neighboring mineral country
found frequent customer IN the per
son of the new Indian agent--and,
considering the limited opportunities
succeeded in cutting big swath IN
Needles society doings.
DIR. Bartlett IS duties az special al

him frequently TO the Indian school
at Fort Moajve, twenty miles up the
Colorado river. When he diseoVere

DR.. Bartlett seems to have made

the government agent and showed q

just how the young woman found

UNION AT G0LDFIELD

Federation Members Agree to Resume Work Under

System

ded to. These Independent miners are
mostly members of the new Nevada
miners union, recently organized by
Thomas b O'Brien.
G. x. Mahoney, vice president Of
the Western Federation of Miners, is
chiefly responsible for the action of
the union in voting to return to work
and it is evident that he very wisely
concluded that such course afforded
the only opportunity for the Fedora
tion to rehabitate itself in the Gold
field district-and it will take long
time to accomplish that object if it is
ever accomplished.
81 do not care to state the names of
the operators who have agreed to pay
the Ionopah scale,' said Mr.. Maho-
ney yesterday, 'but there are four
teen of them. In my negotiations
with the operators there was on men
tion made of the open shop policy
or recognition of the union-it was
merely question OF wages-and the
Federation assumes that it will be al
lowed iurisdistion over the properties
with which we have been negotiating.
The nnion does not look at the opera
tors proposition as conceding the
open shop policy, as the only question
which came up was that of wages.
which was to be the Tonopah scale.
The union understands that there is
to be no discrimination against the
members of the Federation, and the
rame conditions are to prevails as be-
fore the strike.'

immensely rich, and being wrapped
up in their interests are content to
stay there
The incest place in all Nevada to
live is Reno, the largest city in the
state, having a population of about
$4,000. 1t is the incest place only
because of it's size and the conv: III
ences it has on account of it's size
The next incest place to live in is
Winnemucca, little town on the
Southern Pacific in the north central
section of the state. This town like
some others of that state, canbe seen
for a distance of thirty or forty
miles. At long distance it is a
speck of green on field of gray
1t impresses one as an oasis on the
desert. The green is made by the
tall Oregon poplars, which are so pop
ular in that country In all the old
towns, of which Winnemucca, is one
of the oldest, these trees loom up con-
spicuously, and the houses, which
generally present a new and neat ap-
pearance are surrounded by lawns and
flowers. The homes are pretty
enough, but when you get outof the
yard you areon the desert.
There is no such thing as enjoying
horseback or buggy ride in that
country for one from Colorado, for
while riding along in the dust and
sand with nothing but sagebrush, and
sometimes not even that, as for as
the eve can see, one coul- not help
sighing for the canyons and the
scenic beauties of this favored land.
The climate in Nevada is about the
same as that of the lower attitudes
of Colorado, the winters being a lit
tie milder and the summers little
warmer The snow fall is very light
over the state in general and there is
very little rain.
Living in the old towns on the rail
road is no more expensive than here,
except for the one item of coal, which
sells for $1S ton on the main line
of the Southern Pacific.
Sagebrush sells for So cord and
burns almost like hay.
The water in the northern part of
| the state is generally good, while in
the south it is mostly bad.
The wind storms are feature in
the spring time, blowing great gusts
of sand for hours at time These
storms are more severe and last later
in the southern part than in the north
ern part of the state.

FRANK BODlNE HAS
MUCH PRAISE FOR
COLDBANKS

- Here is pretty lair sample of
what find in my group at Gold
banks said Frank Bodne to a news
former had come from inspecting his
holdings in the old humboldt county
camp. Mr.. Bodine then pulled from
his pocket chunk of quartz. The
piece was apparently one-fourth ga
lena but closer inspection reveal
ed it to be stephanite, and the APP
parent copper stain to be in reality
silver bromide. Mr.. Bodine stated
that he had eighteen inches of the
stuffof that character, although he
does not claim that it is all rich.
Continuing, Mr.. Bodine said:
"Goldbanks was discovered less
than a year ago by several prospectors
from Manhattan, who placed location
notices on groupings, and passed on
without doing their work, but the re
ports which they brought out caused
other prospectors to go in and 60 to
stay.
"In a direct line Goidbanks is 80
miles south of Winnemucca, situated
on the rim of Pleasant Valley. The
formation of the country is quartsite
and porphyry. A remarkable feature

in gold, while in others silver pre-
dominates, and yet the matrix of all

The Goldfeld branch of the Western
Federation Of Miners has thrown up
the sponge in it's fight with the Mine
Ownerus association. By vote of
l55 to 256 yesterday the members de-
sided to go back to work at the Tono-
pah scale and under the open shop
policy.
This means practically the ending
of the strike, for while the Western
Federation has not made. terms with
the Operators association, and the
latter organization adheres to the s.
a day schedule, the vote last night is
the entering wedge to solution OF
all of the labor troubles of Goldfeld
and it is expected that all of the mem
hers of the union will gradually re
tnrn to work.
About fourteen leasers and smaller
owners. not members of the Opera
tors association agreed to pay the
Tonopah scale, and nothing was said
about recognition of the union or its
policy. AS these leases expire the

Many questions are asked of one
just returned from Nevada, as to what
kfnd--of a place it is to live in, how
the climate compares with our own,
and similar questions, says G. e..
Wright, one of the publishers of the
Silver State News, now visiting at
his home in Durango, Colorado, writ
ing in the Durango Herald.
There are few people, especially
from Colorado, who would be content
to live in Nevada. The change from
green fields and verdant hills and
picturesque mountains to sage brush
and sand is too much. The lonei-
ness and dreariness of the desert is
appalling
OF course, there is much to interest
until the novelty wearsoff. The oc-
cupation of gold hunter is extreme
ly absorbing for time. Most peo-
pie get over that after they have
been disappointed time after time for
few years. A few, however, do
not get over it, and 60 tramping over
the hills as long as they live and fl
nally drop out of sight. Every now
and then a pileof bleached bones are
found which tells the end of the life
story of one of these men.
1t is exciting to get in the rush to
new gold camp or make a run in
a stampede for claims when a new
strike is made These are pleasant
diversions for a while.
Many who were never in a mining
camp before find the life so novel
that they enjoy it for while
And there are many women, too.
following the quest for fortunes IN
Nevada. 1t is surprising how manv
there are.
You mayA find a woman most any
day in one of the most remote. out
of-the-way places you may go into.
Some of these women are there be-
cause they want to be with their hus
bands, bound by love and their ideas
of duty to go wherever their husbands
60, share the same hardships they en-
dure and cheer them on their way
Others are there because they have no
home back east, or farther west, to
stay in while their husbands are try
ing to make fortune.
Still others are there because they
have the love for adventure, because
they are embibed with the spirit of
the prospector, and they enjoy for a
time, the life as though they Were
on a picuic.
They are all there in the hope of
making a fortune, and as long as
they are making it, or even have ex-
pectations of making it, they may be
content, but when it comes to settling
down and Giving they want to 90
somewhere else.
There are. of course, some excep-
tions to this statement There are
several communities where the pion

main there till this day. Whatever
induces men to take their family into
that cheerless desert land in those
days, when the Indians frequently
went on numbering expeditions, and
make their homes is beyond compre.
hension. Young men took their brides
and left states like Illinois, Ohio, Iowa
and Missouri, crossed the plains OF
Kansas and finally stopped in Neavda
and stayed there. 1t looks like their
lives have been wasted and have been
barren of happiness. OF course it is

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE slowing down
of the speculative space in the stock mar
ket today from that of yesterday was due
in part no doubt to customary practice of
evening up all financial transactions with
the close Of the week. The disposition to
do this is the more pronounced in the case
of commitments dependent on SO delicate
balance as that on which stock prices hand,
especially after so animated a speculation
and SO pronounced a rise in prices as has
occurred this week. The Sunday closed in
terval with this possibility of sudden events
which might prove shock to the market
fabric makes the practiced operator in
stocks dread leaving open a vulnerable posi-
tion. There was a garnering of profits ao-
crued by those prompted by this sentiment.
There was marked decline also from yes
terday's furious activity. One two items
in the days news increased the tendency
to pause. One was the statement attri-
buted to President Corey of the United
States Steel corporation placing the present
working OF its mills at so per cent of capa-
city and putting forward the probable date
for restoration of normal healthful condi-
tions of business to the middle Of next sum-
mer. The action of United States steel had
strong sympathetic effect the whole
market. 1t was scarcely counteracted by
the vigorous upward movement, in some
other stocks the list. The New York
transactions were among these, not only
the stocks but bonds OF that group rising
buoyantly.
Prospects for reorganizatlons were as
cFlped as the motive Ior the loNeiASit9'
The strength Of this group and of some
others led q good rally in the second hour,
but prices weakened again sharply at the
close. The bank statement disclosed
larger gain In cash than had been ex-
peoted and the active week In financial and
speculative markets was reflected in the
loan expansion which slated at $5,-
100000 in the clearing house averages, but
$11, 925, 900 in the actual condition with
supplementary increase of SzS42SQ0 by the
other banks and trust companies. The de-
crease in circulation of s2,270,s00 reported
by the clearing house banks marks the re-
tirement of notes issued against the one
year United States treasury certificates
which will mature on November "a.
