Eugene w. Presbrey's dramatiza-
tion Of Sir Gilbert Parker's powerful
novel, "The Right OF Way" which
made such distinct success last
season with Guy Standing and Theo-

Joe Portugais respectively, will re-
sumo its tour in September under
Klaw & Erlanger's direction These
two character studies are among the
most fascinating of the modern stage.
The solution of the question that
confronts every man-"What is Life
and What is Death ?"-is brought
home to the auditor in the imperso-
nation of Steele with vivid force
fulness that is little less than startl
ing. No less convincing is the char

SULPHUR CO. WAITS
FOR ". P.


John NJ. Mcfarlane, manager of the
Nevada sulphur company, whose mines
are situated 80 miles northwest of Mill
City, was in town yesterday. When
seen at the Lafayette by a silver State
News representative, and asked for the
extent of present operations at his
mines, Mr.. Macfarlane said:
1--WE are doing very little at pres
ent. Mill City, 50 miles distant, Is
our nearest railroad point, and this
year the sulphur market has been 50
low, that we found but little proht IN
operating. However, we have a stock
on hand at Mill City, from which we
are filing all orders.
"We are waiting for the Western
Pacific, which viii run within a halt
mile of our mine, and when that is com
pleted we will no doubt operate our
mines to their utmost capacity.
''By the way, see by the Silver
State News that Winnemucca is to be
made the division point on the Western
Pacific. | am glad to hear it, as It
will no doubt mean a great deal for
your town.

TO SET UP Mill. AT
NATIONAL

q. II. Bradford, of San Francisco,
who for the past Is years has been ia
the employ of John Treadwell, of the
great Alaska mine by that name, in
the capacity of mining engineer and
personal advisor, was at the Lafayette
Sunday
Mr.. Bradford left for National yes
terday morning. where he will set up
Tadmor mill, of which he is the in
ventor, having just received his patent.
"The principal advantage of my mill
over the stamp mill is the great saving
in power made possible. There is now
one in operation at Rawhide, which will
handle 10 tons of ore per day, with a
3horse-power engine that consumes
but six gallons of gasoline every 2l
hours. To handle an equal amount of
ore would require 10-stamp mill,
which would use about Is gallons of
gasoline.
''I have sold the mill | am about to
set up at National to p NJ Campbell,

ROUNDHOUSE HOSTLER
SHOT BY His HELPER
n1spUTE OVER COALING
UP AN ENGINE
rroitive Runs Away, but Is Trailed
by Sheriff Lamb and In
dian and Captured.

Yesterday afternoon, Joe Pouletti,
bostler at the Southern Pacific round
house. was shot by Pete Martini, his
be,ner. At the time the two men were
in an engine, when Pouletti ordered
Martini to coal up. The latter dc
INJURED, saying he would first clean the
fire. A wordy argument ensued, when
suddenly without warning, Martini
drew a revolver and fired at Pouletti at
close range. The bullet struck its vic
tim in the right side, just above the
stomach. where it encountered a rib,
passed clear around the body and came
out at the back.
The injured man was at once taken
to his cabin, back of the roundhousc.
where he is being attended by his
brother. DR.. Samuels, the company
physician, was summoned, and dressed
the wound It is expected that the
injured man will be out in a few days,
in case complications do not set in.
After the shooting Martini started
off on a run. Sheriff Lamb was notified,
and securing the services of Mike Don
nelly, an Indian trailer, started in pnr-
suit. The trail was found at o'clock,
Just as it was growing dark. With no
light except that afforded by the early
moon, the two human bloodhounds fol.
lowed the fugitive and at O'Clock
came up with him in the brush, about
half a mile southeast Of Rose Greek.
The Sheriff called on him to halt.
Looking about and catching sight OF
the officer, Martini not only halted but
faced about and came back walking Oh
tiptoe, attempting to clutch the mo II
with his hands. He was brought back
to town and locked up.

THE LEADING SOCIAL EVENT
OF THE CLOSING YEAR
Program in Highly Sat-
iSfactory Manner.

" Twas the day before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not creature was stirring,
Not even mouse.'
But at the church all was activity and
hustle. Santa Claus was coming and
the most elaborate preparations were
under way for his reception. For weeks
the Sunday school superintendent, j.
G. Harvey, and corps Of assistants had
been planning wisely and well for the
adequate celebration of this more than
national holiday. Christmas eve came,
bright and beautiful, and with crowd
that filed the church to its utmost ca
pacity. The committee on decoration
had done their work well, and a most
beautiful tree, about which was piled
loads of costly presents, greeted the
jolly crowd Of people from all parts OF
the valley The finance committee
seemed to have unlimited funds at
their command and were lavish in their
would add to the pleasure of the occa-
sion. Over $50 large sacks had been
filed with candy and nuts and no one
was allowed to leave the house without
reminder that the Christmas spirit
was abroad in the land.
A program of nineteen numbers was
given, every one of which showed evil
dence of hard work and most careful
training 1t is not possible in this arti-
Gle to give special mention to each
participant, and it would be hard
job to decide which was entitled to the
greatest credit. The exercises by the
little tots especially pleased the audi
ence, while they did not withhold gen
erous applause from the recitation by
Miss Lille Byrnes and the singing by
the choir.
According to his custom, the jolly
old saint in furs and bells appeared at
the psychological moment and pleased
the little folks immensely by gifts Of
nuts, etc. 1t was a most successful en-
tertainment and reflects great credit on
the performers and their instructors.
All connected in any way with the
exercises did splendid work, but VIZ
cannot forbear to mention with specia
approval the excellent work done By

During the last several days there
have been few new developments in

members of the citizens committee,
are hard at work completing the pre-

the contractors, are preparing to COM
mence active operations at this point
Adopt the 18th of January, and no
doubt the company will shortly CON-
mence the erection of it's shops, etc. In
addition to large coal sheds, oil tanks
will also be erected, for oil-burning en-
gines will be used from San Francisco
to this point, and coal will be the
fuel employed from here east.
1t is expected that the company will
require about 700 men to handle the
work in the new shops alone.
