Waf-Waf," was certainly great and
he had to respond to many encores.

Last evening Rev. Lloyd B. Thorn

church, rendered his resignation to

prise to the parishioners and it was

effective the first of the year. Mr..
Thomas will then take charge of the
st. Peters Episcopal church in Car

in this city, the reverend gentleman

sorrow that they will witness his
departure.

The pending suit, however, Of the

Milling company, is the matter of
paramount interest to the Dexter.
This suit is one Of extra-lateral

LEASES ON MANHATTAN
DEXTER ARE CANCELLED
Company Says Lessees Have
Failed to Comply With the
Requirements.

Tha Manhattan Dexter Mining
company of Nevada, commonly
known as the Dexter, whose stock
in the boom days scared to 81 per
share before a pick had been stuck
in the ground, has by a recent reso-
luton of its board of directors can
celled the leases of Shea and Put
man and Milo Plamenaz on the
Union No. 8 claim These leases
have produced between $4,000 and
100000.
At the 300-foot level the Plamen-
az lease encountered a three to four
foot vein averaging $500 per ton
and in it a streak of high grade
worth from 81 to S. per pound.
The Shea and Putnam lease on
Saturday last encountered this vein
at lower depth by means of cross
cut.
The action of the Dexter in can
ceiling these leases has caused much
adverse and scathing criticism of
the management, Many say it is a
case of ''hold-up," and the fate of

CAR SHORTAGE
IS EXPECTED BY
WESTERN ROADS
EASTERN RAILROADS WILL
SOON PLACE ORDERS FOR
MORE ROLLING STOCK

Business conditions on the coast
are fast improving" said w. d.
Forster, general traffic manager of
the Tonopah and Goldfield railroad,
who returned yesterday from a visit
to both San Francisco and Los An
geles.
1.-THE San Francisco railway peo-
pie are now participating in the
same wave of prosperity as is ex-
perienced on the eastern trunk
lines. The railroads on the Allan
tic seaboard are handling more cars
at the present time than they did
for the corresponding period OF
1907. Their equipment is over
taxed and a car shortage is immln-
ent that will surpass any like condi-
tions ever experienced by the rail-
road industry.
"The car shortage will first be
felt in the east and then 1t will
work westward and in time the
local road will feel the result. al
though not in such proportion as
will be experienced by the big lines. 4"

MAY START A
DIVORCE COLONY
IN TONOPAH
ENJOYS MAY BE SENT TO RENO
TO COAX DIVORCE SEEK.
ERS SOUTH

Reno's divorce colony will soon
have another member, according to
private advices received in Tonopah
yesterday by well known local
lawyer The new addition to the
assembly of broken. hearts will be
in the person of E. M. Meyer, vice
president of the Meyer Brothers
company a large wholesale liquor
house of Cincinnati.
Some few months ago Mr.. Meyers
and his wife decided that separa-
ton was necessary and it was by
mutual agreement that Mrs. Meyers
took her departure for Europe,
where she is at present travelling.
Mr.. Meyers will give as grounds for
the severance of the matrimonial
bonds, desertion, and cite the fact
that his better half is now hobnob-
bling with the nobility of the old
country.
Mr.. Meyers is the champion ten
mis- player of Cincinnati,V although
he spends most of his time in New
York, where he cuts quite "a figure
in society. He is reputed to be
worth anywhere between seven and
eight millions.
1t is possible that the parties
who are anxious to start a divorce
colony in Tonopah, will send
couple of ENJOYS to Reno to coax
Mr.. Meyers to take up his legal resi-
dence in this city.
