Gardnervile last Saturday after
spending some days at his mining
property near Alkali Lake in Ante
lope Valley. A quantity of ore
was extracted from the mine and

In speaking of the run to a report
er Mr.. Christensen, in his usual
way OF eonservativeness, spoke
favorably of the run and said that
while the exact result Of the run
would not be known for some days
or until returns were received from
the mint, yet he felt satisfied that
the results would be up to his ex-
pectations.
The property is at what has been
named Crystal City and gives all
indications OF being paying prop

Steam Shovel
Taken 10
Mud Lake

TN keeping with the ad-
vanced mode of all large
undertakings where the
cost OF construction must be
minirnized to the lowest
notch, was brought to local
attention last Friday when a
large steam shovel, under its
own power, slowly crawled
through town on it way to
Mud Lake where Strauch d
Davis, Sacramento contrac-
tors, have started the con-
struction of large reservoir
that will be utilized by the
owner, VIM. Dressler, to re-
claim several hundred acres
of arid land. With the aid
of the steam shovel work of
handling the many tons OF
earth and rock will be greatly
facilitated, reducing the cost
to the minimum.

For many years the growth and
prosperity of the State of Nevada,
and that portion of California east
OF the Sierra range, have been re-
tarded and held back, and the cost
of living made unnecessarily high
by the unjust, excessive and dis
criminative rates of freight charged
to all parts of the State; not only
on the necessaries of life but on
everything that tends to the maxi
ing and upbuilding of the State.
All efforts to have the freight
rates to the State reduced so as to
permit its people to prosper and
the different communities within
the State to grow have so far been
ignored, and to use the expression
published in one OF the leading
California daily papers, said to
have emsnated from the San Fran
cisco Merchants + &C h an g e,
aWhile we admit that Nevada is
charged sxhorbitant and unjust
rates of freight, yet we have the
State by the throat, with strangle
hold, and do not propose to re-
lease that hold"
Some months ago the citizens OF
Reno, backed by the Commercial
Club, petitioned the State Railroad
Commission OF Nevada to present
the case Of the People of Nevada
to the Inter State Commerce Com
mission at Washington, in conse-
quence of which the State Railroad
Commission, on behalf of the
citizens, filed complaint with the
Interstate Commission, against
the Southern Pacific Railroad
and allied lines, asking the Inter
State Commission to grant hear
ing looking to the fair and equit-
able adjustments of Freight Rates
to this State.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has acknowledged the
petition and will give hearing in
the near future, the exact date OF
which has not been settled.
The State Railroad Commission
of Nevada, assisted by a corps OF
able rate men have been working
hard for some time past tabulating
these different rates and making
comparisons, SO as to be placed ON
the same basis as other States,
such as Utah, Idaho, Montana md
Washington, all of which, they
have grown and prospered and
their resources have been develop
ed.
We have allied against us power
full interests. Not only the Rail
road itself, but the various Cali
fornia Boards of Trade and
Wholesale interests who do not
wish to see Nevada free herself
and become an independent State,
and have declared that they will
spend any amount necessary to de-
feat the petition for better rates for
the State.

money to pay for expert witnesses
and assistants employed in the
working up and proper presenta-
ton of this case, and as the State

GALL OF:
4: PULLMAN MANAGER
Says Public Forces Tips on Well
Paid Porters Because Of
Selffshness.
Porters Paid the Magnificent
Wage of $25 Per Month .
Without Meals. -

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Filled with
righteous indignation by the assertion
that the Pullman company underpaid
it's porters and depended upon a gen
erous public to make up the deficiency
by tips to the colored. servitors, Gen.
eral Manager Dean, of that "benevo-
lent" corporation, appeared before the
Interstate Commerce commission in
vestigating committee and silenced
this calumny forever by declaring that
the Pullman porters received the mag
nificent wage Of $25 a month, with
out meals.
"This tipping CUSTOM he sad, sis
a result of the selfishness of persons
who desire better service than their
fellows and are willing to pay for it."
This statement Of the liberality Of
the Pullman company and the per-
versity of the public in forcing money
upon the already we'll paid porters
was made in connection with a fed
eral investigation of sleeping car
rates.
MIR. Dean said further that all cars
were fumigated at least once a week.
He declared that out Of 18,600, 900
cars last year there was only one
death due to accident.
Mr.. Underwood, general manager of
the. Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad, told the court that it cost
the st. Paul road $4,000 to bulls "a
| sleeping car, OF which the road owned
| 100. He said that their rates were
| the same as those of the Pullman COM
pany. --..
DO you know whether any politi-
clans or men holding government posi-
tons have annual passes for Pullman
berths?" Mr.. Dean was asked.
Il cannot say, but as far as know
do not think that they do" he
| replied. L.. ~. .. 49,. ~. ..--
Mr.. Dean also stated that when the
Pullman company took over the Wag-
ner Palaca Car company's stock sew
| eral directors and stockholders Of the
latter company, including William K.
Vanderbilt, became directors Of the
Pullman company. ~ FL ..,x

not, if it can protect the useful worker

The same cannot expect a growth Of

may not sound very nice to some. but
1t will matter but little, for history
p1 owes that mankind can be misused
only so far, then they will turn upon
their pursuers as they have done in
the past.
What is the need Of parasitic rich
and pauper poor in our country? Why
is It we cannot get our heads to-
ge!fer and plan for protection, as is
the habit Of tho beasts of the field,
ard it we cannot educate the masses
of the people to the cause of these
wrongs, before they become possessed
of the desires Of the mob, but If that
is what we are waiting for, if we are
in hopes Of lettering the conditions
of the people through the fear Of be
ing shot down by the capitalist troops,
then as things are being carried too
far, we will not have long to wait.
The government, in order to
insure itself to a longer lease of life,
must furnish it's members with the
chance to earn a. living, and if it can
not do this, it should beunworthy OF
of that name, but should be called the

lights Of truth and justice to flicker
