a Corpse Excursion Ticket

1T may bc economical; il isccrtainly

Of Calhoun White.
Calhoun White stuck his head in
through the ticket window of Sailors

my brother Webster died yesterday
and want to take the corpSr up ts

More S. P. Suits

U. 5. Attorney Sam Plutt flied five
equity suits Yesterday against the
Southern Pacific camlany and others,
to cancel patents on alleged mining
lands. The suits involve a large num-
bcrof mining districts III Humboldt
county and are directed against pat.
ents issued on July 81. 1903. Fraud is
alleged in filing non.mincral affilavits
The suits are particularly interesting
at this time in the light of pub.
lisehd rumors that the Southern Paci-
tic company is dcvising ways and
means To sell its mineral and agricnl-
tural lands within the twcnty.mile
limit.
United States Attorney Plat in talk
ing about the matter yesterday said:
Yes, | have heard about the action
contemplated by the Southern Pacific
as To the deciding of its lands to miners
and prospcctor, for II consideration. 1t
must he borne in mind. however. that IA
deed Of conveyance of lands bv the rail.
road company, the title to which was
secured by fraud upon the government,
would carry Il very precautions title. If
the government. through the large mum
bcr of suits instituted in this state. sue.
cceds i'll setting aside patents issued to
fthc railroad company. the land will inn
mediatcly revert To the government.
and the miner and proSpcctor without
any additional cost or effort, save and
except mining location upon the land,
will easily and readily gaid posseSsory
title thereto. \ large number of adj
ditional suits are in course of prepara.
tion as it is the hope of the Departments
of Interior and Justice to cancel every
patent issued upon selection by the rail
road company which was secured upon
fraudulent nonmineral affidavit. As
the statute of limitations runs against n
patent i'll six years after its issuance.
the suits filed yesterday were absolutely
necessary to preserve whatever rights
the government might have. Carson

Pat Ores From Your Property on Displa,

Time is growing short. The
American Mining congress will soon
begin its sessions in Goldfeld. If You
arc interested in mine or mining
district. or property, secure the best
collection of its ores possible, and at
once put them on display in the Mineral
Palace. The railroads will carry them
to Goldlicld free of charge. Don't
necessarily search for high.gradc ore.
Milling ore in quantity is the most
attractive to the man looking for mine
Investment. Show the milling orc ,s u
money maker, and put some high. grade
IN. too, to 'swcctcn il up" like raisins
IN cake. But hurry. and then hurry
some more. Time is growing short.
and the story of Npvada's richness must
be protraycd in the Mineral Palace. II
you have pride in your state. county,
town. or mine. do II today. Bonanza.

Pacific Blower x Heating Company,
San Francisco, S3,4O0.
The lowest bids are those of Fricdhoff
& Hoeifel of Reno, but under their bids
the building cannot he erected heated
and furnished inside of the $50, 900
voted by the district. As this puts the
trustees mp against Il hard proposition,
the awarding of the contract was taken
under advisement.
The board met at the courtroom at
l:30 this afternoon and the meeting was
attended by splendid representation
of the business and professional men of
the town. The purpose of the joint
meeting was to discuss the type of the
new school building and the means of
raising the necessary funds to build and
equip the same.
Mr.. Mcbride presided and called upon
Mr.. Friedhoff who explained the differ.
cnce between solid brick and veneer
building. In his opinion, the solid
brick building was better, cheaper and
warmer than veneer brick In this
dry climate, lumber WAS bound to
shrink and give way at some point. He
urged the brick building.
After further discussion, Judge Brown
moved that it was the sense of the
meeting that the people favor solid
brick building and recommend to the
trustees and additional bond issue of
$40, 900 to erect and equip the same.
This motion was put to n vote and
carried unanimously.
The trustees will now go ahead and
award tho contract to Frie(lhoff &
l1Oeffcl at their bid of SEQ, 900 and make
the necessary contract with them. Un.
less something unusual occurs, work OH
the new schOolhouse will begin within
the next ten days, and it will bc com
plcted i'll time for the opening of the
January term.

tion and Ormsby county is estimated to
have u total of 1896 acres of vacant
land within its borders. with n total
land and water area of i0S.SSG acres.

Fully one months steady work was
expended in the preparation Of the

WHY NOT ADVERTISE?

The newspaper builds your
town why not help build up
the newspaper? There is no
better advertisement in the
world than a good newspaper
A newspaper is a barometer of
the towns industry. Show us
a good newspaper, full of adj
vertisements, and we will show
you a good town of live mer-
chants.
Newspapers are town build
ers, town advertisers, fortune
makers, news disseminators
sermon delivers, prosperity
forecasters; they are a neces-
sity, not luxury; they must be
maintained. Without them
we would retrograde to the
medieval days.
Don't patronize them from a
charitable standpoint-patron-
ice them because they deliver
the goods-that is, if they are
the right kind.
Cut out the foolishness and
work for the upbuilding of your
town and state by upbuilding
your newspapers.-F o m
Brains.

FIRE AT ST. CHARLES.
Odd Fellows Hall Burns. With Store
Ard $1,000 Stock OF Goods.

Pennington Gap, Va, April
2S.-The Odd Fellows Hall at
st. Charles was destroyed by
fire early Tuesday morning.
The building was a two story
frame structure, the lower part
of which was occupied by b.
Bailey, a dealer in general
merchandise. His stock worth
about 81 600, was totally de-
stroyed, ana carried only a
small amount of insurance.
The flames spread TO lie resi-
dence of Charles Sproles, con-
duc'or on a local freight train,
and the house was almost in
ruins before the blaze was
brought under control.
1t was only by heroic work
that the town was saved from
total destruction. the lack of
tire-tighting facilities making
the cOnQuering Of the blaze very
difficult
The fire is thought TO have
b g n of incendiary origin.
though as yet there is no clue
TO the identify of the criminal.
