RICKEY IS ROASTED BY
THE BANK INVESTIGATORS
Committee Presents Report and Asks
that Failure of State Bank and Trust
Company be Investigated.

There is but one other party measure
now before the legislature, the right
of recall This is in the shape of
resolution to amend the constitution.
A senate substitute for the assembly
resolution was presented yesterday
by the committee, which was passed
this forenoon, and probably will be
by the assembly before it adjourns
tonight.
One other important piece of legis-
lation, recommended by the governor
made it's appearance today, as the re-
suit of the crack of the party whip
last evening; that is providing for a
method of fixing the assessment of
the state tax levy when the present
board of state assessment is abolish
ed.
The senate passed the legislative
reapportionment bill, adding seven
assemblymen and two senators. Nye
county's representation is not chang
ed.
Coryell introduced a bill restrict
ing gaming" which prohibits the
running of gambling games on Sun
day.
The senate amendments to the as
sembly bill allowing Nye county to
issue bonds for the purpose of re-
funding its Indebtedness were con.
Cured in by the assembly.
A whole lot of bills were passed
some killed and others snubbed, but
none of these are of special interest
] to your readers.

(By Special Correspondence


CARSON, March 16.-Both houses
have been working with rush today.
So many committees have been busy
that on several occasions quorums
were not present. Any bill with OPP
position that came to its final pas
sage caused those interested to hustle
through committee rooms and call in
members to vote. At 4:30 the senate
adjourned until 1880 this evening
and at this writing, o'clock, the
assembly is still in session.
Just as the senate was about to
adjourn, the joint committee appoint
ed to investigate the state bank COM
mission made it's report 1t was not
read in the senate. Its import, how
ever, is that during the limited time
at its disposal no serious derelictlon
of official duty was discovered
against the commission Hickey,
however, is roasted to turn and the
recommendation is made that the
failure of the banks should be thor
oughly investigated.
In this connection, it is of interest
to note that the senate committee
that has in it's hands the banking
bill, has not yet reported that meas.
ure, the one most urgently demanded
by the people of Nevada.
The Democrats held a secret eau.
Gus last evening and, so the report
goes, it was decided that this bill
must be enacted into law, so it will
probably see the light tomorrow

new SCHOOL LAW

County Superintendent Francis C.
Mayhem has received from the State
Superintendent of Public instruction
test cards, blanks, record books and
other needful appliances and supplies
to be used in testing the sight, hear
ing and breathing of the pupils in the
public schools of the county, carry
ing out the requirements of the law
on the examination and care of child
rem in the public schools and the law
on humane education, one of the i'm
portant and needful measures passed
at the last session of the legislature.
the teacher or principal during the
first month of each school year Thes
examinations are reported to the
county supe-intendents and then to
the state superintendent.
The mental, moral and physical
Effectiveness of any child after be-
ing reported to the county superin-
tendent is then made known to the
parent with the recommendation that
the child be thoroughly examined as
soon as possible by a competent phy-
sician with special reference to the
eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth and
spine II the parents neglect or re-
fuse to have the examination made
and the necessary treatment begun
without delay, the negligence is re-
ported 20 the State Bureau of Child
and Animal Protection. In instances
where the child is not given the
ne cessary treatment by the parents
owing to lack of funds to pay the
expenses, the principal or superin-
tendent shall cause the examination
and treatment to be made by the
county physician. If the county ply
siciau finds the ailment of the child
such that he cannot treat it, he is
required to report his inability to the
county commissioners with whatever
recommendations he has to Offer.
The Introduction and passage OF
the new law was procured through
the efforts of DR.. Mary Bates, presi-
dent of the Colorado Humane EIucG-
ton society. A few other states
have a similar law but the Colorado
measure is said TO be superior to
them in important respects. 1t has
the principal Advantage of it's en-
forcement being placed in the hands
OF the State Bureau of Child and Ami.

Perigo and RoIIinsviIIe.

Very encouraging news regarding
operations in the Perigo and Rollins
vile sections has reached the Obser-
yer and if the present state of af-
fairs existing in the northern part
of the county is any criterion for the
fall and winter Perigo and Rollins.
vile will experience a healthy revi-
val.
On the Golden Flint in Perigo, in
the east shoot, the ore goes around
IL and II ounces on the plates and
the concentrates average better than
$4,000 to the ton. The west shoot Is
immense, being eight and ten feet
in width and the ore with the con-
centrates included goes four ounces.

tions at the Smuggler, has discover.
ed fine pay ore in the breast of the
tunnel. Practically all the work done

the tunnel until just recently. As the

this point.
1t is reported that the Champion
mine is soon to resume work. AL
fred Anderson, of this city, is inter-
ested in the property, and very likely
will again have charge of the work.
The Champion has been rich pro-
ducer but for the past eight or ten
months has been idle. With the ex-
penditure of a little money in devel-
opment the mine can be made to
equal its past production record.

Saloons Adopt a Code.

At a meeting of the Illinois State
Liquor Dealers association held in
Springfield few days ago, action
was taken to con.rol the saloons of
that state SO that helceforth they
will be conducted in a manner that
the public will regard them as a
necessity rather than a hindrance.
The code follows:
To prohibit the serving of drinks
to any female to be drunk at public
bar.
To prevent gambling for money
in any and all forms upon the prem
ises.
ITO conduct a place of business so
tina: neighbors will feel it necessity
instead of hindrance, and respect
the wishes of neighbc-s in every pos
sible way.
To discontinue the promiscuous
giving of Christmas presents in any
form whatever.
TO stop the sale of scent growl-
ers' and limit the sale Of bee: in
buckets to residents of the immediate
neighborhood.
To exclude from all saloons and
public bars all indecent pictures and
cards, and discourage the use Of in
decent pictures o. labels for advertis-
ing purposes by the makers Of or

NEW MILL STARTS

Alfred Anderson this week put In
motion the machinery in the new mill
just completed on the Caste property
on Winnebago hill. The plant will be
of % tons daily capacity and the
equipment Is the most up-to-date to
be procured in the milling line. 1t
consists Of a Denver quartz mill for
grinding the ore and an abundance
of copper surface, sufficient to in
sure ample amalgamation. After the
ere is crushed by the Denver quartz
mill and passes over the coppera it
is then consigned to the Swain con-
ceItrating table and the shines then
go to the Horn table. The machinery
is all electrically driven, three sep
arate motors being in use, the pur-
pose OF this being to prevent the in
termittent molten of the slime ma
chimes. Adjustments are being made
today and the mill will be given
tryout tomorrow or Saturday. Milling
men who have inspected Mr.. Ander-
sons plant say 1t is undoubtedly con-
structed and equipped to save the
values and look to it to give the best
satisfaction of any mill ever erected
in Gilpin county.

Routt County Rivals Greeley.

Routt county is repeatedly giving
evidence of becoming one OF The lead
ing agricultural sections OF Colorado.
Not only do they raise the finest of
hay and grain, but this year it has
been discovered that strawberries
can be raised that will vie in size
and luscious flavor with any grown in
the state. Added to the various ag-i-
cultural achievements of Routt coun.
ty now comes potato raising. The
first shipment to be placed on the
Denver market is about to be sent
out. From reports this shipment will
consist Of from six to ten cars and
will be sent from Oak Creek, Sidney
and Deer park. The crop will be i'm
mense this year and the probabilities
are that before winter at least ten
cars will be sent to Denver and east
e-n markets. Potato raising in Routt
county must be very profitable when
one ranche- makes the statement that
Of the several acres he planted to
spuds from some he will harvest from
$50 to 200 sacks per acre.

LIVE MINING NOTES

c. E. Major, formerly an operator
in this camp and Cripple Creek, has
commenced the work of repairing
the equipment on the Freedom mine
and shortly will begin the hoisting of
water. Some timbering will have to
be done to the shaft, but very little,
as it is in pretty good condition.
company of fasteners have TAX
en- lease on the property and Mr..
Major will serve as manager Richard
Borcherdt was the last to work the
Freedom. The mine closed down four
years ago and at the time the sus-
pension of operations was to be for
a brief time only. Borcherdt died
shortly after the mine was shut down
and since his death the property has
been idle. The Freedom is recognized
as one of the foremost mines of the
camp and since its discovery has at
times produced extensive wealth. The
vein is strong and carries permanent
values.

viii Put Railroads Out of Business.

The Colorado & Southern railway
must obey the orders of the railroad
commission in regard to lowering the
raee on coal from Denver to Central
City or it will be put out of business
within a half hour, and anyone who
says We lack the power to do this
or says that we are not constitutional
Is liar"
Thus spake Worth L. Seeley, Sec
retaTy of the state railroad commits
sion, red-faced and almost unintelli-
gible in his speech from anger, today.
The railroad has refused to acknow
ledge the existence of the commits
sion, as case in regard to It's con-
stituttonaEty is still pending in the
courts. This pending case, Seeley con-
tends, makes not the slightest differ
ence in the exercise of power by the
commission.
Denver is but one-third of the
state said Seeley, pounding the Ia
Bile with his fist, "and to hear the
people in the town you would think
1t was the whole state. Did you ever
hear, can you tell me of a single
cese in which the Denverites kicked
on the rates going out of Denver? No
all their protests are confined to the
rates on incoming freight.
"All this holler that we are not
constitutional is ell bosh, and we can
make any railroad in the state, con-
form to any rating we may make.
They can carry their cases into court
and we will be willing to leave the
decision to any right thinking tribu-
nal.
"We are not unconstitutional, say,
and i want everybody to know it. II
l knew that l was to be dismissed
from office within the next half hour,
would be Johnny on the spot while
was in office.
We've received nothing but kicks
ever since We We're elected, and l
want to say now that We are not
gang of lunkheads, we are of as
much use as any other state board.
"The railroad shall conform to our
rating in this case and any other
which comes before us for decision.
They have no right to ignore US, and
We will see whether they will do so
or not. They will either obey our de-
cision, ani without any murmur, or
they will no longer be permitted to
do business in the state. e."-Tuesday's

Washkach Unwatered.

The Washkash mine, located near
the Lillian in Russell Gulch, has been
unwatered and the first Of the month
contract will be let for driving
crosscut south to strike the vein.
The shaft is down 130 feet and par
ties who worked the mine some years
ago, in sinking the shaft, lost the
vein. 1t is presumed that the cross
cut will intersect the vein at point
% or 80 feet from the shaft. VIM.

man, is manager OF the property. The
prospects of the Washkash making
a good production are very good.
