SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS
ELECTED A NEW SECRETARY

There has been a change in the secre-
taryship of the Goldfeld Chamber of
Commerce. John /. Tierney, who has
been secretary for the past six months,
resigned at the last meeting to engage
in work, and his position
was filed by William T. Bailey.
Mr.. Tierney was especially equipped
for the position of secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, and his resigna-
ton was received with expressions of
regret on all sides.
The new secretary, Mr.. Bailey, is a
public spirited citizen, extremely ae-
tive. affable and capable, and Will
doubtless fill the position to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned.
The annual election for officers of the
Chamber of Commerce comes off in Ne
vember and preparations for the cleo
tion are now in progress.

ment for their services at % cents pei

best evidence of our assertions ano
claims that the Mohawk Red Top Leas
ing company was considered by all al
the time of this transaction a most
worthy project.
"we do not lay claim to having done
an act of philanthropy in making this
sale to the Mohawk-Jumbo Lease com.
pany at Is cents per share, but we did il
simply because we had hoped to per
petuate the life of the Mohawk-Ju Jumbo
Lease company, a corporation which at
that time was more than three-fourths
our own. If in selling Mohawk Red
Top Leasing company stock to the Mo
hawk-Jumbo Lease company at 10
cents per share, we were committing an
act of fraud, we ourselves were the
greatest victims of the fraud, for of
the 100000 shares of stock of the Mo
hawk-Jumbo Lease company, we and
our relatives owned more than 500, 600
shares.
"Naturally, those who bought stock
in the Mohawk-Jumbo Lease company
during the past six or seven weeks, feel
injured because of the low price to
which it has fallen, yet some one would
certainly have to hold the stock at a
time when it's value must decrease and
finally fade away, since the life of a
lease company is limited. Those dis
gruntled stockholders vino were urged
on by ~thoughtless and conniving brok-
ers to buy Mohawk-Jumbo stock during
the past go days, have only themselves
and their brokers to blame for their
losses. Had they made an investigation
or called at the office of the Mohawk
Jumbo Lease company, they would
have known the details of the financial
condition of the lease company and
they would have been informed of the
announcement made to the stockholders
of the purchase by the Mohawk-Jumbo
Lease of the 100000 shares Of
the stock of the Mohawk Red Top Leas-
ing company. The announcement was
not made of this purchase at the time
the transaction was closed nor until the

injunction and restraining order, di-
rected against us by the Federal court
in the apex litigation, were dissolved.
To have made such an announcement
previous to the time of the dissolution
of the restraining order would have
been contempt of court, and we were
not looking for that sort of amusc-
ment.
"The broken condition of the ledge
which we worked in the Mohawk
Jumbo and the fact that it had very
little dip, together with its low grade
in quality, made it a most treaeherous
and expensive lease to develop. For
the tonnage produced, there has been
70 lease perhaps in camp which cost
necessarily more for mine operating ex-
penses. Our force of miners was at all
times very heavy and our ground FIX
eeedingly difficult to economically
work, hence the showing for dividends
las not nearly so excellent as in one
or two other leases where the lodges
were perpendicular, with well defined
walls and a high grade of ore. The
facts that we had such an excellent
equipment and 50 large a shaft, coupled
with the extraordinary ability of Su-
p~crintendent X. A. Dooley and his
foreman, John McEnerny, were, more
than anything else, responsible for the
dividends we did pay.
"With reference to the assertions
that exorbitant salaries were paid we
have only to say that from the organ
ization of the lease until the time W.
got shipping ore none of the officials of
the company received one cent salary
and after that time our salary list did
not include such amounts as were paid
by other high grade leases of the camp.
We believe we are ultra-conservative
IN the expenditure of the %company'a
funds.

great deal of ore was lost and a great

of the caving and breaking of slopes

trolling interest in the stock of the
Mohawk-Jumbo Lease company, fair
minded people will assume that We did

The rumor has been current for sew

This report is f~orcibly, positively and

MOHAWK=JUMBO OFFICIAL
GIVES STATEMENT OF CASE

When spoken to regarding the allie
cations made in the complaint in the
Mohawk-Jumbo Lease eompany affairs.
Mr.. Macmillan Of the Macmillan Hol.
leran company gave out the following
statement:
1t appears that the plaintiffs in this
action rest tier case on the transac-
lions whereby 100000 shares of Mo
hawk Red Top Leasing company stock
were sold to The Mohawk-Jumbo Lease
company at Is cents per share on the
Sd day of February, 1905. The com
plant sets out that when we made the
sale of this stock to the Mohawk-Jumbo
Lease company, we knew it to be value
less and that N reality we made ;hc
transaction FOR the purpose of inii
vidua,y benefttIng by the $4,000 paid
for said stock, and that our transac-
tons in making this sale were fraudu-
lent.
GA little study of the situation in
the leasing industry of Goldfeld at the
time of the sale will prove conclusively
to anyone interested that the stock of
the Mohawk Red Top Leasing COM
pany was considered at hat time worth
considerably more than 10 cents per
share, the price we put on it.
"The Mohawk Red Top Leasing com
pany had a privilege on a block of
ground 300 by 600 on the Miss Jessie
claim of the Laguna. Our block of
ground side lined the block of ground
being worked by the Red Top Mining
company, and it was the consensus of
opinion among mining men that the
Red Top vein from which such excel
lent ore was being taken, (and at a dis
lance of less than 100 feet from our
lire), would run directly iuto our
ground. All of the Consolidated en-
gineers and all of the engineers in Gold
field of standing considered the Mo
hawk Red Top Lease company a GER
tainty for high grade values. The
lease was equipped with a three-com-
partment shaft, 75-horse power double
drum electric hoist, an excellent com
pressor, and other equipment. The
lease had about ten months time at the
time the sale of stock was made and we
all considered it merely a matter OF a
month of so until we would encounter
a big body of high grade ore. In fact
we were so sanguine of it, that on the
Goth of December preceding the sale OF
February Sd of this stock, we refused
$50, 900 from Malcolm l.. Macdonald OF
Tonopah for 100000 shares of stock in
the Mohawk Red Top Leasing company,
and returned to him a draft for $1,000

GEORGE A.

George A. Bartlett, candidate for re-
election to congress on the Democratic
ticket, is the incumbent. He was
elected two years ago and served his
first term with credit to himself and
the state of Nevada.
As to his record in congress, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has written that
it is eminently satisfactory to the legis-
lative committee of that organization,
and there is no question as to his stand
ing with employers and with labor in
Nevada.
supporters of the state police bill and
has been criticised more for that than
any other official or private act OF his
career. An upholder of law and order
in the state he was one of the first to
declare that the infamous card system
should not be foisted upon the working
men of the state. He also was one Of
the men who opposed the reduction of
wages of miners while the federal
troops were in the state.
Bartlett has favored many measures
in congress designed for the benefit of
Nevada mining operations and his bill
for the creation of a bureau of mines
was favorably considered by the house
but failed of passage in the senate.
Congressman Bartlett lives at Tono-
pah, in Nye county. and is a Nevada
man, a brilliant lawyer and an able rep
resentative in congress. The Demo
cratic party believes that he should be
returned in order 10 combat the meas
ures designed by the Republican party
to further Cypress and harrass the PEG

Charles L. Deadly, the present sur
veyor general and state land register,
the Democratic nominee for that Office,
came to Nevada in 1881, and located at
Belmont, Nye county, where he was en-.
gagged as principal of the Belmont pub
lie schools until 1856. In 1882
he was elected county superintendent
Of schools on the Democratic ticket and
served in that capacity during 1884.
He was also appointed deputy county
assessor, which position he held for 10
years.
In 1891 he was appointed deputy dis
trict attorney, was elected to that of
flee in 1892 and served as such during
1894.
In January, 1895, he received the ap-
pointment as draughtsman in the state
land Office under General Pratt and was
retained in that position by General
Kelley until 1897, when Kelley pro
NOTED him to the deputyship. When
General Kelley died last March Gov
ernor Sparks appointed Mr.. Deadly as
his successor.
Probably no person in the state is
better acquainted with general condi-
lions in Nevada, and no one has init
mate knowledge of state land business
as has Mr.. Deadly. Every phase of the
business and the routine of the Office is
at the "end of his fingers and he
gives the work his closest and undi-
vided attention.
He is the nominee Of the Tonopah
convention to succeed the late General
Kelley, whose well known system of
conducting the land office is being per
fected and followed by Mr.. Deadly.
Ever at the service of the people of
Nevada he has become known as one
of the most careful men in the state
capital, and asks that he be retained in
an Office he has conducted with so much
success.

++++++++++++%*

There is little need to say anything
about the public record of the Demo
cratic candidate for supreme justice,
George +. Talbot, who, like the late
Judge Hawley, spent practically his
whole life on the district and supreme
bench.
Justice Talbot was elected in Elko
county to the bench of that district
where he served for many years. His
elevation to the supreme bench came
when a man of calm judgment was
needed, and he has fully merited the
confidence reposed in him.
In all cases wherein he has been
called upon to write an opinion, that
opinion has been regarded by jurists
as the law on the subject treated. In
this he follows in the steps Of the late
Judge Hawley and lawyers and those
conversant with affairs of the courts of
the state unite in saying that Justice
Talbot is a judge without fear, bias or
reproach, and that his decisions, cspe-
cially where they affect the peace of
law-abiding citizens are eminently fair
and recite the law. In criminal matters
he has decided during his occupancy Of
the bench, he has always tempered JUS
tice with mercy.
According to law, when reelected he
will be the junior justice, to again oc
cupy the seat of presiding justice four
years hence, following the term of
Justice Sweeney. Tho state will thus
have two Democratic presiding justices
in consecutive order. Justice Talbot,
while on the Democratic ticket, is a
man who takes little active participa-
tion in partisan politics and goes before
the whole people of Nevada relying
upon his record as a district and SUI
preme justice for Endorsement.
