Fugitive is
Still at Large

Emmett Barry. the nineteen year
old horse thief tha+ escaped from the
Nevada State Prison. is still at large.
Inc last word received from the pur-
suers was yesterday, when guard
Hagerman telegraphed Warden Day.
The pursuers are now about fifty
miles beyond Hawthorne and they re
port they are not far behind the fugi-
tive and believe they will be able to
overhaul him.
1t is claimed that the section
through which Barry is going IS I'M
known to him and this places HIM at
quite a disadvantage However, the
majority of Inc people extend SYM
pathetic aid to escaping prisoners and
this lack of knowledge may not be
such a drawback to Barry.

MINT SUIT
IS DfMISSED
And a Long STANDING
..., Scandal is at Last
Ended 49,

suit was dismissed yesterday in
the United States Court here which
was one of those connected with the
mint scandal in this city some years
ago. This suit was one against Elias
B. Zabriskie and bondsmen to recov-
er the sum of $4,000 and it was dis
missed on motion of United States
District Attorney Sam Platt. repre-
senting the government The suit
was dismissed because congress had
passed an act in 1905 absolving the
two bondsmen, Robert D. McAfee and
J. Chiatovich. from all responsibility
for the amount and Zabriske died
insolvent some years ago.
The mint scandal as ii came to
be termed in local circles, grew out
of the shortage at the Carson Mint OF
about 5000 ounces of gold and on in
vestigation. it was found that the loss
was due to the dishonesty Of John I.
Jones. assistant melter and reiner
same department. Both these men
We're found guilty in the courts and
sentenced to serve eight years in the
penitentiary and pay nes Of $1,000.
Both served their prison sentences.
and Heney has since been pardoned
by the President
The investigation showed that the
bullion was abstracted from the mint
By substituting bars of a much lower
grade of bullion than that which
they purported to be. This and other
devices were employed by those loot
ing the mint and the announced
shortage amounted to s75.549 IS.
Suit was brought against Zabriskie
and his two bondsmen on the bond
for $4,000 but the congressional act
three years ago released the bonds
men of responsibility. Zabriskie died
insolvent and now the proceedlgs IN
the case are dismissed.
So far as the legal status OF the
case is concerned the dismissal OF the
suit winds up the mint scandal.
AS to the moral status it is doubtful

steal" and il is certainty that
through it lives and hopes were for

&C. c.. Goodwin, an associate Of Marx
Twain, in the bonanza period of Vir-
ginia City, gives an interesting ac-
count of the discovery and develop
ment OF the Comstock lode in the last
issue of the Nevada Mining News
He tells how the product of the Com
stock saved the credit of the nation
and made possible the adoption of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution: how it raised an army
OF men from poverty to affiuence; );
built marble palaces; sent miners all
over the world to sit with crowned
heads and leaders of finace in consul
tation and at the festive board: made
senator's: built railroads: laid cables
across the ocean; erected telegraph
lines from east to west. and accom-
plished countless other objects Of
world wide benefit and interest.
To the Comstocks we owe much.
Following persistent development for
a period of years. these mines pro
mise to again produce big results
from deep down in the heated re-
gions of the earth. But we are not
saneuine that this will soon be real
lied. Millions have been spent. some
Of it for purposes not exactly in ac
cordance with good business judg-
ment. but the results in the future
will tell the story. None have been
more liberal in support of this work
! than the stockholders who have paid
assessment after assessment with Sc
rene confidence in the ultimate re-
suit. The gray hairs and bowed
shoulders and halting steps of many
of those who await the glad day OF
reward for their generosity and con-
fidence must soon claim the reward
or it will be too late.
May mat day be speeded along. for
the rejuvenation of the ComstOck will
mean great things for all Nevada. as
it will afford an example Of the posi-
blities of deep mining. never ex-
celed in the history Of the world, in
any other State or section.

The Fleet at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-At his
post on the bridge of the Connecti-
cut, Admiral Evans today commanded
the greatest feet that ever entered
the harbor of San Francisco. Some
what shorn of the overwhelming pro-
portions that were first planned, the
armada was yet of imposing dimen-
sions, with eighteen huge monsters of
modern warfare and an innumerable
line of private craft following in their
wake.
The hills around the bay were lined
with throngs of people from all over
the State and from Nevada. From
tall Tamalpais crowds glimpsed at
the oncoming armada. while the bare
hills of Lime Point Reservation was
black with people. On the southern
side of the bay the hills of the city
were packed and every point of van
tage was thronged. The crowds alone
was an inspiring sight.
