Rattlesnakes.

The rattles of the rattlesnake lie
edgewise. 1t is evident that they
must do so, inasmuch as they are but
combinations of the backbone. The
snake carries the rattles on the
ground. except when he raises them

evidenced by the fact that i'm every
snake of any size that is killed the
rattles are worn through on the un-

A PIUTE :.
-
MURDERER.
Tells LaG0nIealIy Of His HGr-
.,.ITIbIe Crimes.
KILLED TWO PROSpECTORS.
hakss Confession Characteristic Of His Race
And EyinCes No Emotion or Concern
About His Deed.
KILLED TWO PROSpECTORS.

George Williams, of Goldfield, the
swarthy Piute horsethief, is confessed
murderer. The confession was made
Saturday to the under sheriff, in the
presence OF witnesses. No threats or
cajoling were necessary to extract the
information, which rolled from the lips
OF the assassin without a tenor or indi-
cation that the speaker was reeiting the
details Of one of the most atoroous trag-
edies that has blaekened the history OF
Nevada.
Laconically the story OF the double
tragedy that caused the removal OF Bar
ney Griffin and William Connor was re-
counted, and then the prisoner resumed
his cigar, with eoldness born Of race
that evinces no trace Of pleasure or pain.
He seemed to realize that the confession
might result' the sacrifice OF his own
life on the scaff6la, but gave no outward
evidence Of the fac0. lie told ths. raw
details, Without yincing, and when he
described the actual shooting, 1T was
with the same nonchalance as if he had
been engaged in shooting down beef
on the open range.
The officers were impressed with the
truth OF the story, as it was partially
confirmed by the finding of the axe be-
tween the legs of one of the victims.
Having finished his story, Williams
turned to his cot, and picking up a nov.
al, resumed reading story OF the penny
dreadful order.
There was no direct testimony against
the Indian, but very strong circumstant-
ial evidence. Ever since he was placed
in the county Jail, ten days ago, he has
been subjected to a daily sweating pro-
cess by either Sheriff Ingalls, or one oil
his deputies, and finally he broke down.
A few days ago he notified Under Sheriff
Bart knight that he was ready to tell
the whole story.-Joufnal.

TO SHIP RAWRIDE
ORE TO GOLDFIELD.

Mr. George f. yon Polenz, secretary
and treasurer Of the Original Rawhide
Mining company,whieh owns the Kearns
lease, on the Balloon Claim, in the
RaWhide mining district, and which is
creating a sensation by It's phenomenal
showing, left on January by auto for
Rawhide, with the pay roll Of the COM
pany.
The company has been working three
full shifts steadily and has now about
fifty tons of high grade ore ready for
shipment. The Nevada Goldfeld Re-
duction company will probably handle
the ore. A small shipment of the low
er grade of milling ore was recently run
through the mill and it was established
that this ore can be treated in Gold
field. The main shaft has now reached
the depth OF about loo feet; the ore has
widened out and the values have in
creased, In the bottom of the shaft
three feet OF ore will actually bring
about s400 to the ton, and four
more feet viii break sl20 to
the 10 ton. On the foot wall there is
streak of nigh grade which is specimen
ore and @ill assay into the thousands
This streak shows large quantity of
Tree gold.
The company intends to sink the
shaft to dept of 200 feet at which
point drifting and stopping will begin.
Shipments of high grade ore will be
continued. 1t is Mr.. von Poienz's in
tention to get the first shipment of so
tons started for Goldfield at once

BRYAN As 4
PHILOSOPHER.

From Speech Before
the Oklahoma Legislature.
One proverb l have often quoted is,
1.-THE wise man forseeth the evil and
hideth himself, but the foolish pass IN
and are punished" It is great truth
and beautifully expressed but | found
it did not stick in the minds of the peo-
pie, so | condensed it, and it is the only
effort | have ever made to improve up
on proverb; and this is not an i'm
provement, it is merely a condensation.
1t is not as beautiful as solomon's pro-
verb but more easily remembered. 1t
means the same thing in q condensed
form; The wise man gets the idea into
his head the foolish man gets it in the
neck

BURBANK'S CACTIS
DESERT BOON.

One Of Luther BurDankS new hgfi-
cultural-horticultura catalogues has
been shown us. 1t is devoted chiefly to
the eacti. 1t Is different than most
seed catalogues, especially in priees.
The scientific name for cactus is '.opun-
tias;" it grows from cuttings and the
author tells how and where 10 plant
them. This includes rich level and
the steepest and poorest rocky hillside,
old river beds or rock piles but good
land is best, and one or two light irriga-
tione during the summer help. The
only thing that disccuages the plants Is
too wet soil The rows should be 5
feet apart and the plants from three TO
four feet apart. Some of the virtues
are set fourth as follows:
They are good for hedges or fences.
The leaves are good for all kinds OF
stock including poultry. The fat young
joints make fine pickles and kind OF
egg plant when fried. They are fine
when boiled and eaten as green's. The
Juice when mixed with whitewash
makes the work permanent. The leaves
make a fine poultice and can be used in
lieu Of hot water bags. Tie fresh fruit
from the improved varieties is superior
to the banana and is sold in boxes like
oranges. 1t can be raised at half the
cost Of other fruits and never fails.
Most delicious jams and iellies and
syrups are made from the fruit. The
juice Is used to color ices and conieetion-
cry. What it does tor livestock can be
estimated By the fact that herd of 500
cattle Jared sumptuously every day for
.B months ON a field OF 50 acres of cacti,
in Texas.
The cuttings can be had 10 pounds
for dollar or 100 pounds for eight dol
lars.
But he has new varities that he has
spent years upon in his place in Santa
Rosa. These he proposes to sell in bulk
and the prices range from $1,000 to $40
600.
How far north these plants will grow
we do not know, but we presume that
they will thrive anywhere the prickly
pear will.
1t is safe to say that all the desert
lands OF Southern Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico and Western Texas will be
covered with the plant in the next few
years aud that the rancher poets will
paraphrase the old lines and make
them read:
"oh that the desert were my dwelling place
With one ten acre tract OF Burbank's eaeu
for my minister"

As Indicated ID the call issued to the
members, bearing dateoi 30th Of Deeem-
Der, A. u. 1917, the object and purpose,
nom 10 be stated, is legislative action
concerning contentious between labor
unions and mlne operators in the min
ing District ol ooldheld il this state.
rron statements presented by reliable
oiAzens, representing both sides OF the
controversy, and from my own personal
knowledge obtained from frequent visits
to Goldheld, lor the purpose OF using
such influence as 1 possessed, TO pre-
vent loss and trouble Occasioned by
strikes, letter OF inquiry was indicted
by myself and Attorney-Geneal Stod-
dard to President Roosevelt, explaining
conditions To information, and asking II
he eould consistently send United States
troops 10 1otdheld Tor the purpose oi
suppfossing rlots OF viOleucelu case,sueh
should occur Ia said mining district.
The President promptly and kindly re-
pied that he would, providing proper
application be made, stating the requir
ments, which were complied with, and
the troops came Immediately, under in
strnetions not TO interfere with the civil
authorities SO long as they were able to
preserve order. This policy has been
continuously observed, TO the satsfae-
iion oi n large percentage Of the people
oi tie state, ap eyiaenced by the popu-
lar desires for a special session OF the
Legislature, expressing the hope that
your honorable bodies would by petition
prevail on the President to retain the
troops ut Goldield temporarily, ii not
tary post be established in this State,
all OF which. | Believe, will meet the ap-
proyal ol majority OF our citizens.
Ii is also apparent that law should
be enacted regulating the police power
OF the state, either on military lines or
on enlarged civil power vested in the
State government, that will be equal to
the protection OF the rights OF all the
people aud maintain honor and dignity
of sovereign Commonwealth, which
Nevada has the right to enforce. This
will be expensive, but with ordinary
economy may be gradually accomplish
ed. The necessary appropriation
should be made to inaugurate whatever
system may be adopted.
A legislative fund should be created
in amount sufficient to cover the ex.
pense of procuring supplies, clerical aid
