WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The two
houses of congress convened today
for the first regular session of the
61st congress. The proceedings
were mostly of a social nature, and
practically no business was trans
acted. The senate's thirteen minute
session was enlivened by an unsuc-
cessful effort of Senator Bailey to
defeat the passage of the usual res
olution that the daily sessions be-
gin at noon, suggesting that the
senate should convene at 2 o'clock
Bailey said he would like to see
night sessions held, SO that the day
could be devoted to individual bus
mess.
Although only 341 members re-
sponded to their names, almost the
entire membership appeared on the
floor of the house, and there were
few who did not have one or more
bills to offer. These included one
of Representative Garner of Penn
sylvania for congressional investi-
cation of the entire customs service;

NEW SECTION BEING OPENED

Recently ]. R. Bryan accompanied
John Doser to inspect the Maxine
property, located near Forty Mile
canyon in the Belted mountains,
80 miles north of Amargosa station,
on the Las Vegas and Tonopah rail-
road. This is latter day new dis
trict as ore from it was packed on
animals to Eureka 80 years ago. In
the camp are dumps that will run
500 per ton in lead, silver and
gold. There are also veins of large
dimensions carrying free milling
gold ores. Timber and water are
there in abundance.
1t seems that j. r. Bryan has be-
come interested in the property and
John Doser has gone there to start

PACIFIC BUYS
MANY NEW ENGINES

Thirty-three giant freight engines
have been completed for the South
ern Pacific Railroad company, and
some of them have been started west
for delivery. The engines are all of
the Mallett compound type. Twen-
ty-one of these engines are of the
same size as two already in use on
the Southern Pacific. They weigh
800 tons and are sometimes called
two locomotives in one. Some of
the eastern roads refused to haul
them over their tracks because they
were so heavy that bridges might be
damaged. Each of the leviathans
cost $4,000.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Phoe-
nix Insurance company of Brooklyn
is under investigation for irregular
titles which are believed to have i'm
paired the surplus by at least ST.
100000. Superintendent Hotchkiss
of the state insurance department
today laid the matter before the dis
trict attorney. 1t is charged that
the president has overdrawn his sal
airy, unloaded doubtful securities on
the company, and used the COM
pany's assets as collateral to secure
his own private speculative accounts.
In a formal statement tonight,
Hotchkiss says he doesn't believe
the capital of the company is i'm
paired, and that thus far there is no
evidence that the securities are not
intact, but admits that the present
investigation is not yet completed.
He censures the directors.

MAY DRAW THIRD
VENIRE IN THE

Special to the Bonanza

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 6-The work
of securing a jury in the case of the
State of Nevada versus Jack Sher-
idan, charged with wife murder, was
resumed in the district court today
with 19 members of the new venire
summoned, in attendance. During
the session 10 veniremen were ex-
amined and either excused for cause
or by peremptory challenge. At the
close of the days work, the state
retained one peremptory and the de-
fense three peremptory challenges.
1t is now considered doubtful if the

AVIATOR Meets
DEATH BY FALLING
1000 feet
BY Associated Press

NICE, France, Dec. 6.-Antonio
Fernandez, an aviator, met death
today, while flying for the first time
in an aeroplane of his own inven-
tion.
The accident appears to have been
due mainly to the inexperience and
recklessness of the aviator, who was
impatient on account of recent diff
ficulties with the machine and, not
needing his mechanician, he patched
up a defective part of the machine
by binding it with common twine,
causing the machine to capsize. He
fell while trying to make sharp
turn 1900 feet from the earth.
