Giving Nevada The Worst Of It

The dispatches tell of the nomina-
ton of William Crosson 'of Nevada"
as secretary to the legation at Lima,
Peru It is possible that William @.
Crosson is 'of Nevada" but very
doubtful if he is ''in Nevada" While
the direct allegation is not made that
this Crosson is an alien, it seems almost
a certainty, as wide acquaintance in
this state has failed to give recollection
of such a gentleman. Nevada has
suffered similarly in the past. Appoint
ments are constantly made of me
vadans" to give this state it's quota in
patronage, but three out of four the
names are unfamiliar ones and the
supposition naturally arises that desper-
ate Office seekers frequently don
Nevada cloak, made at Washington,
and thus obtain desired billets. Sum.
If the Sun really wants to know
whether or not Mr.. Crosson is resident
of Nevada, it should inquire of Senator
Nixon, the patronage boss of the state.
It may be that Crosson is friend of
one of Senator Nixons Washington
friends and that Nixon had him credited
to Nevada to oblige friend. Such
things have been done in the past.

at Goldfield for we are going to have
one of the largest gathering of mining
men from all parts of the world that

display of ore, that we are going to
have in our mineral palace. You know
it is not "a Goldfield affair, but state
affair. The state has given us five

is the largest and richest association of
similar body of men in the United
States and they have heard of your
mineral wealth and production and they
are coming out here to see it. Over
two thousand of the commercial mining
men of the United States are going back
