G%OLDFIELio AMBITIOUS.
Wants Something So Thinks Mining
school Would Fill Bill.

The news from Goldfield
that a desperate effort will be made
by the Esmeralda delegation at the
coming session of the Legislature to
get at least a part or the University
of Nevada away from Reno. Failing
in their ambitious design to carry
off the chief educational institution
OF the state, the delegation from the
southland will offer to compromise
on the basis of their taking the school
of mines.
They will present the argument
that Southern Nevada, o any of the
new towns of the state have any state
institution whatever existing within
their limits, and that it is about time
they got some recognition of this
sort. They don't want the state
prison, they don't care about getting
the INSANE asylum, and they are will
ing to let the orphans home remain
where it is, but they think the state
university would look nice in the
heart of Goldfield.

Tariff revision is o occasioning
as much interest as we might expect
out here. The house committee
alone has any accurate idea as to
what will be done in this matter. and
said but little. They have examined
a good many witnesses, and in the
east it seems to be taken pretty much
for granted that they have learned
the truth of conditions and will act
fairly in accordance with the in
formation they have obtained. No
one appears to be worrying much and
do not believe that the matter will
exert any large influence upon gen-
eral affairs. We have this tariff re-
vision business with the election OF

back with him of interest concerning
local railroad affairs. Mr.. Cannon
said that he did not. The only in
formation he had to give along thi.
line was that the cold weather he hat

the steel for the additions which are
to be added to the present converter
building on each end will commence
arriving shortly. 1t is understood

and the putting in place of the adj

to hand will be done as speedily as
possible. Steel for the fourth unit

Promotion committee, told Mr.. Klein
following solicitation upon the part
of the latter. that it was more than
probable that a large delegation of
San Francisco business men would
visit Ely this summer. 1t has been
the custom of the Chamber of Com
merce of San Francisco for the last
few years to every several months
visit some important section of the
country in the interests of San Fran
cisco. During the last few years they
have made trips into Tonopah and
Goldfield.
Within the next few months a
number of the big wholesale houses
of San Francisco, which in the past
have not been represented in this dis
trict, are going to send their travel
ing representatives here.
Mr.. Klein says that the way GirouX
stock has been advancing the last
few days has helped draw new at
tention to Ely from mining people.
While San Francisco affords a
number of good openings, | am more
than willing to take by chances on
the future of this district" was the
way he sized up the situation at on
clusion of his interview.

ACCIDENTS At
SHELTER
TWO WELL KNOWN MEN SUS:
TAIN SEVERE INJURIES At
ADDITIONS TO PLANTS.

M'GILL, Jan. 12.-Joe w. Main
and w. +. Remington. both well
known men of the camp, were today
injured in separate accidents within
a short time of each other at the con-
verter. Main is considered the more
seriously hurt. having IA badly bro
ken leg and severe cuts about the
face. Remington was severely burn
ed about the face.

FELL THIRTY FEET.

Main was on the charge track at
the converter when his accident oc-
Cured. A false step in a moment
during which his attention was at
tracted elsewhere resulted in his be-
ing plunged 80 feet from the track
to the Stag pile below. on the sharp
and jagged edges of which he fell.
That he escaped with no more seri-
Gus injury than his broken leg and
cuts about the face from the Stag
on which he landed is considered re-
markable.

GAS EXPLOSION.

Remington, who is chief car re-
pairer, was also on the charge plat
form when his fate came along. 1t
is not definitely known but the the
DRY is that a sack of coal was thrown
in the converter, sack and all. Gases
formed and a burst of flame sudden
ly shot upward. bennington was di-
rectly over the converter at the mo-
ment and caught the blaze on one
side of his face. which was badly
burned from the forehead to the
chin. His eyes escaped injury.
While severe. his burns are not con-
sidered serious. although they will
porbably result in permanent disfig-
.urement. Both men were taken to
the Steptoe hospital in East Ely this
afternoon.

On. OF Two Mysterles-The Circus.

So long as the hearts OF men con-
tain one chamber which does not grow
with them beyond childhood, so long
as women bear children, the circus
will live-which will be forever. The
circus is immortali
The circus is an elusive thing; q
clear-skied morning, and II is here,
filled with Boosting and noise, laugh
ing at our troubles from out of a
Falstaffian mirth. Then in the murk
of night 1t slips away again, as II 1t
knew that we are bu. children and
would be gone without farewells.
Rough men marshal it. grimy with its
labor: rude are its jests and coarse its
people seem at times; but down under
the crust of them and the dust of the
worlds highway is that touch of ten
derness which no circus man has ever
been without, since they grew wise
and left the rest of US children still.
There are two things in life which
are full of magic and mystery-the
circus and the sea

He Knew the Folks.

An amusing comment was made by
a miner at an ambulance lecture in
Elphinstone. East Lothian, Scotland.
recently The lecturer had stated thai
II suffocation from choking was like
ly TO ensue, the simplest remedy to
give relief till medical aid arrived was
to take fine-pointed pen-knife and
make a small incision in the throat.
One of the miners then shouted: "Ye
dinna ken Elphinstone folks. If 1 was
TO try that the morn here's what wad
happen: If that man died his folk
wad haze me prosecuted for murder.
and II he got better he himself would
be the first to prosecute me for cutting
his throat"

CHURCHES IN VERMONT
An Advance Step in the Way Of Or
ganization

Why is it that the overwhelming
majority of the people of Vermont tne
state in which the finest fruits of Pur-
itanism are to be found, are outside
of the churches?
Why is it that in so many commun-
tiles the men of the highest moral
worth and largest public spirit are not
church members?
Why so often that the churches of
the choicest historical antecedents,
the most scripturally proven doctrines
and the most intense types OF person
al religious experience seek to for
ward the things for which they stand
by methods which cannot endure the
light of the principles of Cnristian
brotherhood, even if they are worthy
to be called humanitarians or business
like, asks the Burlington News.
Yet at least per cent of the great
denominations of evangelical Chris
tiandom with more than 500 preach
ers, and money in some measure of
proportion are struggling in the lit
tie state of Vermont which is becom-
ing more and more missionary terri
tory. Public opinion demands ans
wers to these questions.
The churches themselves must get
the truth in these matters and live ac-
cordingly or else their cause is lost.
More than ten years ago a move
ment was started toward the passage
of a bill in the Vermont legislature
providing for a clearing house of stan.
dard, unbiased information in regard
to the sectarian work of the churches
This step was taken by men who were
not in the churches. Who knows but
had it no, been for the objection made
by the churches, this bill which was
drafted, would have passed and the
commission formed? 1t was doubt
less this movement which led to the
formation of the interdominational
comfy commission in 1899. But in
ten years the commission which was
formed has not done the work which
the original movers anticipated.
But the churches are waking up to
the situation. With six declarations of
local churches, at Wiliston, Castleton,
Randolph Center, Guildhall and Fair.
lee and with two cases of organic
church union at Randolph and Lincoln
the churches are learning, that after
all. they are one for community right
eousness or against ii. Unsectarian
Sunday school, Y NJ. c. A., temper
ance and evangelistic work has been
teaching the same lesson.
The comfy commission has walked
up also. The commission which rep.
resents four of the leading denomina-
tons has now done the thing which
has long been desired. 1t has placed
a research secretary in the field, the
| clearing house of unbiased informa-
tion has been established, and the
study OF conditions has begun. The
new movement with headquarters at
Burlington publishes a bulletin con-
tanning the leading facts which are
gained. Any one can get in touch
with this work by addressing Church
Federation of Facts, Burlington. This
work commands attention. There is
nothing which the state of Vermont
needs more 1t commends itself to
the cooperation and support not only
Of all tne churches but of the larger
public outside.

few months ago young fellow
blew into town on the steamship Tenyo
Maru from Japan and Immediately
started out TO raise ready cash among
the church people. He succeeded until
the Advertiser put the public wise to
the fact that he was CRATER and
was travelling under an assumed name.
He had given the name of G. j. Dross
ner to some and showed cards bearing
that name. On the Tenyo Maru he
was known as Pratt.
The police authorities, at the sugges-
ton of church people, notified Dross-
ner aboard the ship that his intention
of remaining in Honolulu and growing
up with the country, was not to their
liking and he was advised to move on.
He moved on. and now he has turned
up in Salt Lake City, still trying to
raise money in the same old way. There
he posed as the son of John ID. Spreck'

told in Goodwin's Weekly as follows:

an excellent view of the whale from the
roof garden. The guests were watch
