AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From Pull
pit and Sactuary.

The exceptionally fine weather
brought out large attendance at the
Christian church, both at the Bible
school and the church services. The
Bible school attendance was sol, the
Offering $47.12. A friendly rivalry be-
tween the Philathea class, the young
ladies' class, and the Baraca class, the
corresponding class of young men,
brought this unusual Offering. The
Baraca class had an attendance OF
twenty-six and made an Offering OF
$25.53. The attendance of the Phil
athea class was sixty-six and the Of
fering the snug sum of $1,000. The
class which exceis on given number
OF points in Bible school effort is TO
entertain the defeated rival. Twenty
eight new scholars were reported in
the entire school.
Rev. T. V. Dugan, pastor of the u.
p. church, gave a short address on
the subject of missions at the close
OF the session. Rev. Dugan always
speaks well, but we doubt if he ever
gave a better address than to that half
thousand enthusiastic young people.
They greeted him with applause.
Jesus Calling the Roll was the
subject of the morning sermon. The
text referred to the incident in the
life OF our Lord when he cured the
ten lepers as they were on their way
to obey his conditions OF cure. When
but one returned to give him praise
Jesus said, Where are the nine?" Rev
Zendt scarcely referred to the great
Judgement Day, but laid strong en-
phasis on the deep silicitude and anx-
iety of our Savior that all of his fol-
lowers should be at their post when
duty called. He calls the roll every
morning when we awake, at every
service which honors God at the
Lords house, the prayer meeting, the
missionary Offering, the Bible school,
and every other place where christ
ian heToism and fidelity to truth are
required. At the opening OF the ser
vice Mrs. Hurt, the new choir leader,
sang beautiful solo, which was well
received.

He FOUND HOW
DOOR Of that
VAULT WORKED

James Kelly, baseball official and
prize fight promoter, well known
about town and in Goldfield, is pos
sessed of fund of curiosity, and
thereby hangs the reason why he is
carrying his hand in a sling.
Early Saturday morning James
was guest of the Nevada Club, and
was attracted by the mechanism of
the door of the very fine steel vault
which is in that thirst emporium.
James examined it thoroughly, the
door being open, and then asked
Newt Crumley if the latter cared if
he shut the vault door to see how
the mechanism worked
Given permission, Kelly closed the
door, At the same time he let out a
yell, and then began to execute war
dance around the room, with re-
marks very much to the effect that
something had bit him, that his hand
was cut off, and that he was going
to die. Incidentally, he was heard
to breathe the name of the Almighty
from which we conclude that he was
in prayer. Anxious friends soon cap
tured him, and discovered that when
the vault door had swung into its
snug recess, one of James fingers
had been tapping over tie edge
slightly, and the end of it had been
shipped off as neatly as if done by a
pair of mammoth shears. DR.. Ham
mond was called and gave first aid
to the injured, persuading Jimmy
that he was not going to die. In the
future, however, when James begins
to feel the curiosity bug working or
him he will put hands and feet in his
pockets.

Nina QudrrieS
are Shipping
Valuable ROCk

NINA, Jan. Nevada has new
industry. The Nevada Black Marble
company has made its first shipment
from the quarries twelve miles south
east of here where it has seeming
ly inexhaustible deposit of marble
the like of which no other state can
show. This black and gold marble
has been passed upon by experts who
pronounce it the true Egyptian va
riety which has been found only in
Egypt until the discovery was made
in the hills near Nina.
This marble is worth $14 cubic
foot in New York and at that with
out cutting or polishing, but in the
rough as 1t comes from the quarry.
The shipment today was one car,
440 cubic feet, sent to San Francisco.
The demand for this marble is such
that the company is assured of orders
enough to keep twice the force of
five men now employed, busy for
years to come!
The deposit SO far as it has been
developed, covers about sixty acres,
and the present cutting shows it to
be 200 feet deep with no limit as to
the possible depth apparent. This
quarry should bring a steady flow OF
money from the outside into Nevada
as the demand for this variety is
enormous and comes from every city
in the United States. New York
alone will require more than the
present force at the quarry can cut
and deliver to the railroad twelve
miles away.
The company is strongly entrench
ed so far as finances are concerned al
it issued only 100 shares which wer,
sold at 500 share to buy the nee
essary equipment for the works.

DEPORTATION
CASE IS Under
INVESTIGATION

A matter concerning the alleged
deportation of a man from Rhyolite
in 1905 has been under investigation
by District Attorney McCarren for
the past two days at Rhyolite.
Although nothing was given out,
not even the name of the man de-
ported, it is understood that the in
vestigation is being made at the in
stigation of the British ambassador,
the subject of the matter claiming to
be an Englishman.
From what can be learned of the
affair the man who claims to have
been deported went to Rhyolite from
Searchlight in 1905, and upon ar
rival was taken in charge by parties
unknown to him and escorted down
the wagon road towards Las Vegas
and told to keep moving. Later he
filed complaint with the British
ambassador, who took the matter ur
with the United States secretary OF
state, who referred it to the governor
of Nevada, from there it came to the
county officers of Nye.

new BROKERAGE
COMPAN STARTS
BUSINESS MONDAY

The j. W. Shelton company, incor-
porated, will open it's Offices in the
Mizpah hotel building in this city on
Monday, prepared to do general
brokerage business, handling listed
and unlisted stocks. The company
will maintain an open call board, be-
ginning with an evening session Mon
day. Commodious quarters have
been prepared, and telegraph and
telephone service has been so arrang
ed that the patrons of the brokerage
concern, through the board quota
tions, will be kept in closest touch
with the San Francisco and Goldfield
exchanges and call boards.
The company starts in with j. w.
Shelton, manager; Vim. j. Bell, sec
rotary, and the directors being H. G.
Schmidt, J. Wesley Stewart, H. G.
Rogers, Thomas Lindsay, j. w. Skel-
ton, VIM. j. Bell and S. R. Moore.
This will be the first open call board
which has been maintained in Tono-
pah for some time, and with the rap
| idly awakening interest in mining
stocks which is being evidenced, the
evening crowds around the board
will remind the Tonopah people of
the old times, when practically every
man in Tonopah was not only watch
ing the board but taking fiiers in
stocks of all kinds. Although the
/ concern is starting out in quiet and
comparatively modest way, its plans
are elaborate for the future. and
with stock in the concern being plac.
ed among outside interests where il
will be of moral as well as financia
benefit to the new concern, there il
little doubt that it will in time prove
a strong factor in the placing ant
marketing of Nevada stocks, and il
the successful financing of many mer
itorious properties which are now bu
awaiting the magic touch of capita
to develop into dividend-declarini
mines. The first session, on Monda,
evening, will be of no little local in
