Eureka Citizens Interested in
Mining Industry Want Tariff
on Lead Unchanged

The mining interests of Eureka
Mining District showed their alertness
to the welfare Of not only the State OF
Nevada. but to the general property
Of the Nation. on Monday of this week
when they sent the following telegram.
signed by . large number of represen-
tative men Of the district. to Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich, Chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee Of the
Upper House Of Congress:
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1909-04-03

Eureka. Nevada. March 30, 1909.
To Senator Nelson w. Aldrich,
Washington. D. O.:
Irrespective Of party, business or
calling. the undersigned citizens of
Eureka County for themselves, and we
feel certain with the concurrence and
approval Of all mining States and
Territories. earnestly request that no
change be made by Congress in the rate
Of tariff on lead as at present established.
The product Of the mines of our State,
as . general proposition. contains lead
in large quantities. In many instances
lead values enable owners Of mines to
work at a profit their properties in con-
nection with the gold and silver product
OF the same, and this only because Of
the reasonable tariff on lead as at
present existing. A reduction in the
rate would compel our working popu-
lation to toll for q wage entirely in
compatible with the standard of life and
living condition suitable to our noble
American life. and compel them to
a stats bordering upon the undesirable
conditions, habits and poverty obtain
ing with the unfortunate inhabitants
OF peon chimes. A reduction of the
present tariff on lead. we feel certain,
would so disturb financial conditions in
the precious metal producing parts of
u great Nation of a most serious
character. We therefore again implore
You to lend us your powerful aid to
avoid a business catastrophe of far
reaching consequence to not only those
who toll for a livelihood, but to all and
every sort Of business enterprises and
healthful conditions.

HELP FOR HOLIDAY
Fred Hirsch Starts Fund For Fire
Sufferers.

Fred Hlrsch left one dollar with the
Herald this morning as a starter for
purse to be given to Joshua Holiday
the farmer who sustained heavy loss
by fire about six miles north of the
city Sunday night. Mr.. Hirsch stat
ed that he would probably have sent
the dollar to Italy to help the homeless
and suffering victims of the recent
earthquake disaster, but, hearing Of a
family in distress nearer nome. he CON
|cluded 1t might be more loyal to make
the donation to a neighbor. The Her
aid does not wish to discourage the
giving OF money to assist in the relief
.of the italian sufferers, but 1t would
also be glad to receive donations Of
any size to be given to the Holiday
family as a little assistance to them
in their misfortune.

| was convicted and Ford was thrice
tried without conviction. Ford's
trials attracted great attention, as ii
was generally felt that the prosecu.
ton was trying out its ammunition
on Calhoun's, attorney before firing at
the millionaire himself. Ford was
first tried in September, 1907, on the
indictment charging him with offering
brihe to former Supervisor Thomas
F. Lonergan. The " jury disagreed
and before lord was tried again
Lonergan died. Ford was next tried
on the charge of bribing former Super.
visor Jennings Phillips. The second
trial resulted in an acquittal in Dec,
ember, 1907. Undeterred, the prosecu.
ton tried Ford again, using the in
dictment in which former Supervisor
Den'l G. Coleman was alleged to have
been offered a bribe. The third trial
resulted in an acquittal. Between
Ford's three trials and Calhoun's
coming trial Abe Ruef has been tried
and convicted on much the same evf
dence as that presented in the case
of Ford, the Indictment in Ruef's case,
however, naming former Supervisor
John J. Furey. e..
Calhoun has engaged Attorney A
A. Moore and his son, Stanley Moore,
as his counsel. They represented
Ford in his three trials. Francis J.
