H|ST0RY0FN NEVADA
A ROMANCE
FORTUNES WON BY TURN OF
PICK AND THEN THROW
AWAY -TERRITORY'S RICHES
BUT SCRATCHED.

The estimated population of the
state of Nevada at the beginning of
this year was $4,000. twenty-five
cities in the United States boast of
larger population than that. Yet the
state of Nevada at present stands
without a peer in the worlds history
of mineral wealth.
Until five years ago Nevada was
living on a tradition, memory. The
great Comstock, that marvellous lode
which turned out 100000 in gold
and silver, had run it's gamut. Gold
was till being taken from it, true;
but the shaft was going deeper and
deeper; and the deeper the men went
down into the earth the less they
got for their pains.
Besides, says Van Norden's Maya
zine, the temperature was always in
creasing and at the deepest the ITO
degrees of heat encountered made
work uncomfortable, to say the least.
Yes, it seemed that Nevada was
dwindling. Then at last, in May,
1900, came the discovery that sound

ProspectOr on Journey.
James L. Butler was rancher liv-
ing in Monitor valley. He had long
been impressed by the possibilities OF
the San Antoine range of mountains,
and at last QUILTED for a journey
of prospecting in them. At the end
of a six day ride he camped one
night with his pack train of six bur-
ros at a spring called by the Sho-
shone Indians "Tonopah'-meaning
water near the surface"
He took samples of some black
groupings, heavy with minerals, AMI
passed on to South Klondike, where
he showed them to an assayer named
Higgs. Higgs, after examining them,
carelessly threw them out OF the
window as worthless.
Later, Butler took more samples
and turned them over to another as
sayer at Austin, New They showed

its own, and with Birmingham exercising
all the rights of government over Avon
dale until further developments.
When the full effect of the recent SUI
preme court decision is known, when the
supreme court has taken final action in
reference to the Greater Birmingham bill,
and when the quo warranto proceedings
recently passed upon by Judge A o. Lane
have been ratified or rejected by the SUI
preme court, then the two cities will know
where they are, and what the relation Of
the one to the o.ner is. In case it is
finally declared that Avondale is not a
portion of Birmingham, then Birmingham
will refund all Avondale taxes, and Avon
dale will be the gamer by certain i'm
provement. On the other hand, if Avon
dale is declared to be properly a part of
Birmingham, everything will stand as it
is, and no time will have been lost.
The representatives of the two cities
declare that the relationship between the
two is the most friendly, and that be-
tween them there is no spirit of antagon-
ism.

coined last night by 200 members OF the

AVONDALE WORKING IN
HARNESS WITH BIRMINGHAM

The city of Birmingham has decided to
take up again its work in Avondale which
was abandoned on the publication of the
recent decision of the supreme court to
the effect that that suburb had been IL
legally annexed
The street improvements will be con-
tinued. Street Commissioner John Nc
Cartin has been instructed to send again
his wagons to Avondale, and Avondale
taxes will be collected. In other words,
in spite of the fact that Avondale has a
city government of its own, Birmingham
is exerting its authority in that city.
There was a meeting in the city hall
yesterday afternoon at which the city
reached the above decision The meeting
was participated in by Mayor Ward, City
Attorney Thach and C. C. Heidi, chair
man of the finance committee of the City
Council, for Birmingham, and John B.
Weakley representing Avondale.
According to the agreement, Birmng-
ham and Avondale will continue to exist
as they are, with Avondale having repre-
sentation in the City Council, and a city

THREE ARE IN RACE
FOR POSTMASTER

There is considerable interest around
the federal building in the contest for
postmaster Of Birmingham. Three can
didates are actively in the field and as
yet none seems to have the advantage.
The present postmaster, j. hivers Carter,
has a big backing and is doing his best
for a second term. Judge J. H. Mont
gomery has been working hard for the
position, and his petitions have been
signed by a large number of business
men. James w. Lee is another candi-
date with large backing both among
the democrats and republicans of the
city.
All three are doing their best to make
showing. If the appointment is left
to Referee Joseph O. Thompson and Sem
ators Bankhead and Johnston, as has
been limited would be the case, It is
hardly probable that these gentlemen will
make any recommendations until March.
All three are friends of Mr.. Thompson
and his Recommendation will come only
after long elaboration.
