Giant Trust of the Future" an illus

offered to the readers of the February
Metropolitan Magazine. 1t will not
fail to command the attention of all
Americans who take thought of their
own welfare, for it warns against the
imminent control by one trust of prac-

A Magazine that is Up and Doing
Editors of magazines publishing nov
elettes have long complained of the
difficulty of securing satisfactory stor-
les of this type. owing to the fact that
most writer's find it just as easy and
more profitable to expand plot suit
able for novelettes, into a book, too
long for magazine use. Be this as it
may, Lippincott's seems to have solved
the problem, for in it has appeared q
long series of fine complete novels,
and instead of falling off the quality
seems to be steadily improving. The
February issue contains a powerful
tale of army life by General Charles
1t is entitled 'Lanier of the Cavalry"
and portrays army life with the same
vigor and naturalness which character

out in book form. as are so many of
the Lippincott novelties.
There are some exceptionally good
short stories in this issue. including
"a Friend of Jimmie's," by Eleanor

The annual report of the Pitts

BROKEN Hills
PRODUCING ESQ
SACKS DAILY

J. c. Mccormack, president of the
Broken Hills Mining company, came
in from the company workings at He
lena yesterday afternoon and con-
tinued on to Goldfield. He stated
that the work of sacking ore on the
new strikes was being kept up and
both trenches are averaging about
200 sacks daily. The trench where
the first surface strike was made has
been opened up and is now down
about thirteen feet, while trench No.
2 is down ten feet. Both lodges
show no change and the width of the
ledge is apparently the same as when
first found.

CITIZENS BILL MEETS
WITH A SAD FATE
After Due Deliberation the Dance Hall
Measure is Handed Death Blow
Reno Pikers are After the Capitol, and

Trade the University

you already know. This is why the
assembly today postponed the bill
amending the commission law until
tomorrow, to let the full import of
that opinion sink into the minds and
hearts of legislators before final &C
ton is taken.
The Nye county delegation today
introduced bill providing for the
refunding of the county's indebted
ness.
This forenoon regular and special
committees reported to the assembly
twenty-three different bills. At noon
there were at the general file twenty
odd bills, from which fact it can be
readily be seen that business is ac-
cumulating in that branch more rap
idly than it is being disposed of,
which justified the action of adjourn
ing this afternoon to $50 tomor-
row, IL o'clock being the usual hour
of converting.
The afternoon was devoted to the
general file and number of local
measures were wiped off the over
crowded general file, in one way or
another.
In the senate the bill to divide Nye
county, after a long and animated
fight was laid on the table. Vote;
Yea, IS; Nay, 2; absent, g. The Sen
ate passed the primary election law,
practically without amendments or
opposition. 1t also passed the senate
substitute for the assembly pure food
law and the bill for the relief of
Mrs. Sparks, widow of the late gov
ernor, was favorably reported.
There is squad of Reno pikers in
town today, talking capital removal
to that community of retired sheep
herders. They say they will trade the
state university for the capitol; but
as they do not own the latter, the
comment is quite current that they
are Offering to dispose of state prop
erty. Nothing doing; false alarm and
ali that kind of slush.
And still that slow, stubborn SEN
ate committee on judiciary has not
reported the anti-gambling bill.

ALAMO TEAM
NEARLY Won
The GAME
BY SMALL SCORE OF AZ TO II
TONOPAH BOYS LOWER
LAURELS.

The Alamo basketball team met
| their first defeat last night when
they played the members of the Ton
opah basketball club by the score of
lforty-seven to ten. The licking was
awful and the defeated team will
leave this morning for haunts un-
known. A large crowd was in at
tendance and the enthusiasm display
ed informed the jewellers in nearby
houses that there was something do
ing in the Nevada theater. The
Cripple Creek representation never
had even look in and the points
they recorded were only made by
fiukes of the opposing teams.
Captain Blue of the Alamos stated
after the game that he desired to
express the thanks of the members
of his team to the people of this city
for the courteous treatment they had
received.
Ever since we alighted from the
train he said, I'VE have been royal
ly treated. From what heard while
in Reno was led to believe that the
residents of your city were nothing
but bunch of savages. Why the
Renoites' told us that we would lose
money by making this trip and adj
vised us to carry gun while playing
the/game. During our stay in their
city we heard nothing but knocking,
and had we remained there long I
actually believe we would have be-
come contaminated with the Reno
spirit and started knocking ourselves.
They told us that Tonopah was moth
| ing but little one-horse camp and
consequently were surprised to find a
city here that far excelled Reno in
buildings and population. When we
return to Cripple Creek you can rest
assured our people will know about
the great southern Nevada camp
Tonopah. One thing noticeable in
your beautiful city the calamity how
lei is not in evidence. We sincerely
hope the capitol will be moved to
Goldfield-any place but Reno. Wa
