tim. Both Sparks and Steunenbere
were elected by laboring men. and
both aligned themselves with mine
owners when trouble came. Steun-
enberg introduced the bullpen into
Idaho, and it is declared by Sparks
enemies that he desires to do like
wise In Nevada.
1t Is a notorious fact that Governor
Sparks has been of late on exceed
ingly good terms with the Goldfield
stock jobbers. who promoted million
dollar companies by the dozens on n
capital of hole In the ground and an
abundant of stock of hot air. Many
other prominent statesmen of Nevada
have been involved in these get rich
quick" schemes and have aided the
Goldfield boomers In their efforts to
attain new notoriety for the town by
having United States troops sent to
protect their Interests"
There are many rich mines in
Goldfield. but most of these are in
the hands of a few men. The other
prospects" have been capitalized for
thousands of times their possible
value and the stock sold to unsus-
pecting investors in the East.
Every possible means to boost
Goldfield and to advertise its ire
sources" has been utilized by these
clever stock jobbers. Prize fights
were held at which princely purses
were hung up, newspaper men were
subsidized to send out glowing stories
of the wealth of Golifield and every
other method of obtaining notority
was utilized. to the end that stock
might be sold.
Then the bubble bursted. Men
supposed to be worth millions woke
up and found themselves penniless.
The exodus began, and grew. until
scores of buildings were left empty
and Goldfield assumed the appear
ance of deserted village. Then the
stock jobbers conceived the scheme
of manufacturing riot, calling in
federal troops and gaining new ad-
vertising. 1t worked, and Goldfield
again occupied position on the front
page of the newspapers of the coun-
try. But President Roosevelt was not
satisfied, and sent investigators to
the scene. They reported that there
was not and had not been any
trouble. and Governor Sparks came in
for some severe criticism. Mean
while. however. the stock jobbers.
aided by their fresh advertising. had
disposed of millions of shares of
stock.

restored to Its original condition, as
1t was before the terrible earthquake
and fire of April 1s. 1906. The other
great office buildings have also been
rehabilitated and others are being
erected. The great lesson of the
catastrophe that overwhelmed San
Francisco has been that the steel
skyscrapers are the safest and most
secure against the ravages of both
quakes and flames.
The Spreckles building. upon ex-
animation after the fire had died
down. was found not to have suffered
in the least from the earthquake.

the interior. The shaking to which

Carson, New. Jan. 14.-In re-
sponse to the call issued on December
80 by Governor Sparks. the state leg
lslature of Nevada convened in spec
ial session here today to consider the
labor troubles in Goldfield. The call
was made at the request of President
Roosevelt, who had notified Cover
nor Sparks that such action must be
taken or the federal troops sent to
Goldfield to deal with a riot" which
did not materialize would be recalled.
! 1t is generally believed that the leg
islature will refuse to adopt the rec
concentrations of the governor, and
in that case the latter will probably
declare martial law. There are many
avowed friends of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Mines among the Nevada
lawmakers. and they will probably
seek to prevent any legislation look
ing to the establishment of state
militia. They declare that such a
militia would be practically organiz-
ed. armed, owned and controlled by
the mine owners and would be used
for the sole purpose of enabling the
operators to break up the union, i'm
port "scabs" and 'inaugurate a reign
of terror, with its bullpens and de-
portations, such as disgraced Colo
rado few years ago. They assert
that the miners have shown them
will In NJ 10 NV,
a peaceful strike. and that state
troops should not be used as strike
breakers.
That Governor Sparks is doubtful
of the willingness of the Legislature
to take an active part in the Goldfield
troubles is evidenced by his letter to
President Roosevelt, in which he
said: 1T is n matter of Legislative
history that l recommend n measure
at the last session to establish a state
constabulary along the lines of the
Texas rangers. which was rejected by
that body. the members thereof still
being In office. The assembly of that
session. with the vote of all but one,
passed a resolution denouncing the
injustice done Meyer. Haywood and

among members who voted for that

The opinion is general among the
lawmakers that Governor Sparks has

owners. despite the fact that he was

miners and laborers. who considered
him their friend. Others held that
