Secret Conference Flushed

The veiled animosity existing be-
tween Chief Biggy and Police Com
missioner Charles A. Sweigert broke
out in open war at secret and stormy
session of the police commissioners
yesterday afternoon. at which Biggy is
declared to have said that he would
either make Sweigert prove his accu-
sadons of graft in the police force or
he would ask Mayor Taylor to oust
him from the commission.
The meeting was the sequel of the
clash between the two Thursday night.
None but Biggy and the police COM
missioners were present, even the sec
retary being barred. Voices rose high,
accusations and charges We're flung
broadcast, and at times 1t seemed as If
the lie would be passed Biggy, Sc

When the door was finally flung

flushed and his demeanor one of un-
mistakable anger. Sweigert was suIlen

None of them would discuss the mat
ter. but it was evident from their
bearing and their ambiguous answers
that the gauntlet had been deliberately
thrown down by Biggy.
Did you say to swelgert that you
would make him either retract or
prove his statements or you would
ask Mayor Taylor to remove him from
the commission?" Biggy was asked.
TT is not necessary for me to dfs-
cuss the matter if you have guessed

taken also by Commissioner Charles

flaming red.
The assertion OF Lindsey which drew
an outburst of enthusiasm from the
audience, was that Francis j. Heney

MARVIN REFUTEs STORY
By the presentation of those facts
yesterday Frank w. Marvin, president
of the Good Government league, refuted
and confounded the story published
yesterday morning in the Examiner,
which is opposed TO the graft prose
cution,. to the effect that Miner and
Bryan resigned from the executive COM
mittee because they rebelled against
the Good Government league support
ing the graft prosecution. 9he same
paper declared that WE'LL and Speck
had mysteriously resigned from the
league "in attitudes of disgust" pre-
sumably over the organizations policy
of indorsing District Attorney Lang
don's appeal to the board OF super
visors for an appropriation of 100000
with which to carry on the work of
the graft prosecution. Mention also
was made of the resignation of Dr. J.
Wilson Shiels. who voluntarily with
drew from the league because he be-
lieved in the honesty of purpose of
Mizner and Bryan.
Marvin issued a statement yesterday
concerning the enforced resignation of
Bryan and Miner, explaining the resig-
nation of Speck, and Weilps friendly
attitude toward the league. Letters
from WE'LL and Speck We're included
FORCED TO RESIGN
President Marvin said:
The statement made By Mr. Bryan and Mr..
Mizner that they had resigned from the execu-
tive committee Of the Good Government league
because they were not in sympathy with the
league Is not fair statement of the facts as
they were forced to resign or be dropped from
the executive committee.
The executive committee some time since. at
an informal meeting of number Of its members
held on February IL, reached the conclusion that
because OF the attitude OF Messrs Bryan and
Mizner OF the committee, they could no longer
work with these two men on the committee. At
that date the following statement was prepared,
which was signed By IL members Of the executive
committee-all in fact, but Mr.. Bryan, Mr. Mi--
ner and Dr. Shies--which statement demanded
the designations Of Messrs. Bryan and Miner.
Information was then sent to Messrs Bryan
and Mizncr that the executive committee desired
their designations: they replied that they would
not resign, but would fight. An amendment to
the constitution was then proposed at meeting
two weeks ago. BY which. on majority vote Of
the entire committee. any member can be dis

Another year will bring in the semi
centennial anniversary of the discov-
cry of the Comstock lode. It isn't
likely to be jubilee. If the occasion
IS observed at all by the handful now
constituting the citizenship of Virginia
City and Gold Hill it will be a day
of mournful memory for departed
glories; of sorrow for the passing Of
the bonanza years when 10000 men
assisted in the production OF $1,000
600 from : greatest group p'of mines
on earth a,.d shared in the making of
monster fortunes.
It was in the old days that every
man had chance; that the miner OF
today was the millionaire OF tomorrow:
that individuals and coteries and COM
panies filed their Golfers from the
riches of claims no larger than a city
lot and IN their eagerness to acquire
more riches engaged IN unceasing con-
aict in the courts for the ownership
of property.
HOW DIFFERENT NOW:
Then it was rivalry and dividends.
Now it is community OF interest and
assessments. Then it was work on
three shifts for every man who could
swing pick or pound driIl-and
they numbered thousands. Now it is
salaries for officials and attaches with
sipecures and the employment of few
miners to show progress in the week
" reports OF development. Then il
was the daily shipment OF bullion by
the carload Now 1t is ihe infrequent
marketing OF concentrates from a trio
of mills and limited production OF
good grade ore from a single mine
the Ophir. Then it was a battle OF
giants-a divided but resistiess direc-

and desoiate. the camp owes what lit-
tie it has OF life TO the whims OF two
kings who draw their tribute. not
from slopes and drifts OF the old boz
nanza lode, but from the purses OF
dupes and visionaries who think that
each assessment is more power for the
drills driving for the remnants of for
tune left By the miners OF former
days.
The harmony that has settled over
the Comstock is the singleness OF pur-
pose held by king HirshheId and
king Morrow-the purpose to oper-
ate all the mines under the control in
one fashion. manipulate the stocks in
another and keep the stream OF assess
ments flowing full in order TO meet the
demands of an extravagant manage

THE CAMEO.
t Gets lie Name From ths Cutting,
Not From the Stone.

Il Gets lie Name From ths Cutting,
Not From the Stone.
The true nature OF a cameo IL yery
much misunderstood by the public gen.
orally. Most people think. it Is the stone
itself, when. in reality the method Of
cutting is what produces the cameo.
The real meaning Of the word is I'M.
known. its derivation having never
been discovered; but, correctly speak
ing, canoes r small sculptures exc
cuted in low relief on some substance
precious either for it's beauty. rarity or
hardness. II.
There are emerald canoes, turquoise
canoes, shell canoes, coral ameos.
Indeed. any substance that lends itself
to carving in such minute detail can
be used for cameo cutting, md nearly
all precious stones, except diamonds,
have been so used for intaglios, but
never for canoes. Emerald Is the most
common precious stone from which
canoes have been made, and there are
some very fine emerald portrait cam
eos in existence, notably those Of
Queen Elizabeth in the British muse
UNI. Shell canoes were first made in
the fifteenth century.
Banded onyx is generally used for
cameo work because Of it's hardness
and coloring, and 1t is this fact that has
caused the misrepresentation, the stone
being used so much in making canoes
that it has now become better known
as cameo than by its right name.-

The native magistrate heard the testi-

Reminders In the Foal and tho Calf Of

1t is nm interesting study to note in
domestic animals the traits Of their
wild ancestors. There are some char

for this reason they give a fair idea of
the life and surroundings of progeni-

are too familiar to comment on, but
take the foal and compare his traits
with those of the calf.
The foal when a few days old can
gallop as fast as he yer can in after
life. He new leaves the dam and
takes .nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding a full meal, which would i'm

when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show, that the animals
