HOUSES IN GoLDFIELD.

and the latter were cashed for one-half
gold and one-half script. The bank
went SO far as to make arrangements
with railroads, merchants and saloon
men to accept the script at par. In
Goldfield, as In many other mining
towns. gambling is a very important
I've of industry, and the bank even
went to the extent of arranging for
the acceptance of the script by the pro
prietOrs Of faro tables and roulette
wheels. The state of Nevada licenses
gambling houses, and such arrange
mentS by financial institution are
not looked upon as anything unusual
in places like Goldfield. But the min
rnd a strike was called. The mine
owners maintained that this was VIC
latiOn Of referendum agreement and
announced shutdown Of all the mines

Governor John Sparks for federal
troops and the order to Brigadier Gen
cral Frederick Funston, commanding
the division Of the Pacific, with head
quarters mt the Preside, San Francis
&C, to dispatch force Of men to the
seat Of the labor war.
Nevada has no state militia. There
fore when Governor Sparks felt that
the security Of life and property was
endangered by the conditions at Gold
field he believed his only course was to
call on the president Of the United
States for troops. His action in doing
so has been criticised on the ground
that the sheriff of the county was able
to cope with the situation. President

Roosevelt dispatched Labor Commits
sioner Charles 2. Neill, Herbert Knox
Smith, head Of the bureau Of corpora
lions, and Assistant Secretary Law
renee o. Murray of the department Of
commerce and labor, to make an In
vestigatiOn Of the prevailing conditions
at this camp and the cause Of the trou-
bic. 1t was their preliminary report
on the conditions they found which
decided him to order the withdrawal
Of the federal troops.
The claim has been made by the
miners that the action Of the mine
owners was In violation of n compro-
mise which had been reached as TO
paying wages half in cash and half tn
cashiers checks. The labor men said
that they decided to strike only when
the mine owners refused to stick to the
terms Of the bargain and declined ell
Their to guarantee the checks or to pay
any part of the miners wages in cash.
The certificates, the miners said. were
not accepted at par except ut a few
places.
Goldfield is in the heart of what
is called the Nevada desert. The Cali
fornia line is not far away, and by
train the town is about eighteen or
twenty hours distant from San Fran
cisco. 1t Is field of gold. but WIS.,
itor is apt to be reminded that all is
not gold which glitters: also that mon
ey Is the root of all evil The comforts
of home and the refinements of a high
state Of civilization are things the
stranger should not look for in Gold
field 1t has not progressed to the
stage Of bathtubs and trolley cars and
million dollar hotels yet. But that is
not strange, considering that three
years ago there was nothing there but
sagebrush. alkali dust and coyotes. The

he is used to the Indians and the cow
punchers and their primitive ways.
His father the late Right Rev. DIR.
John Paddock, was bishop of the state
of Washington, and the younger Pad
dock had chance to find out what
life in new community was like. So
he will know how to get along with
out vested choirs and churches with
stained glass windows and expensive
organs. He expects to conduct serv
ices in saloons If necessary and to be
preacher, choir and organ all in one.
AS for clerical attire, he will preach in
a cowboys costume if that will help
him to get any nearer the rough and
ready but usually good hearted men he
wishes to reach. He knows how to get
close to plain people. as was shown
while he was vicar of the Episcopal
procathCIral in New York, with head
quarters in the tenement district. He
started wave Of reform in this dis
trict that had lasting results. In his
new jurisdiction he will have to cover
a territory embracing $4,000 square
miles, in which the institutions repre-
senting religion and philanthropy and
education are ut present few and far
between. He expects to travel for
days at time without seeing sign
Of human habitation and to go down
into mines sometimes to find the ma
terial for his congregations.

burial committee put it later in refer
ring to the matter:
Nobody had time to bother about
it. so we planted the stranger right
there. and that was how the first grave
yard started"
Recently GoIdfield has acquired n
few substantial buildings. and if its
prosperity continues its appearance
will rapidly change for the better. Its
future is regarded as bright on account
of the wonderful deposits Of the pre-
cious metal which nature has made in
its vicinity: but. being located in a
desert. the first Corners had hard time
able. not to speak of surrounding
themselves with all the conveniences
and luXuries of New York or Chicago.
Wood. stone and brick at first sold for
almost as much as their weight in
gold. During blizzard one winter
coal went up to $50 ton and wood to
$50 cord. 1t is said to have cost $780,
600 to erect merely the front wall Of a
two story building which was recently
constructed Of Nevada sandstone. The
difficulty Of getting material for house
building forced the miners to set their
wits to work. One miner got load of
bottles from the back yard of saloon
and out of them constructed one of the
warmest houses in town by laying the
bottles in tiers and placing mud be-
tween them. The mud soon dried into
hard cakes like adobe. and when he
had put on tin roof the miner had a
home worth the name. Some houses
have been built of oil cans and others
Of barrels. Water Is too precious in
Goldfield to be used in putting out
fires. so when blaze starts the men,
bers Of the fire department commonly
let the house which is on fire burn up
and hitch a few burros to the adjoin-
ing buildings. place some rollers under
the latter and drag them out Of danger
from the flames. This helps to keep
the town on the move.

The first people who died in Cold
