COOK Will
ADHERE TO HIS
ORIGINAL Plan
(By Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.-Before his
lecture tonight DR.. Cook was shown
an Associated Press dispatch from
Copenhagen, relative to his report
ed intention to request the univer-
sity of that city to waive it's claim
to the first examination of his North
Pole records. Cook said a wrong
impression had been received in
Denmark as to just what he had
said in Washington last night on
this subject.
IT shall adhere to my original ar
rangement to have the University of
Copenhagen make the first examina-
tion of my records" Cook declared.
But l would ask that university to
withhold the announcement of the
result of such observations until the
records have been examined by all
the geographical societies in the
world, so that their verdict may be
announced simultaneously"

GEORGES CANYON
LEASE Is PAYING
ALL EXPENSES
ONE OF THE OWNERS IN MyLES-
MYERS LEASE PRAISES
DISTRICT

Jack Myles, of the Myles and Ny
ers lease at Georges Canyon, came
in from that district Sunday He
states that the canyon is bound to
be one of the best camps in the
state and at the rate development
work is being done, startling lis.
coveries should result in a very
short space of time.
On the property in which he is in
terested, Mr.. Myles said that III the
present the lease is more thar pay
ing expenses. This is conside, ed
quite remarkable owing to. the short
length of time it has been worked.
A second shipment of abor. 4 half
ton of ore will arrive here some
time this week and be forwarded TO
the mill without delay.
Mr.. Myles will probably remain
in Tonopah for the winter, and his
associates will continue the work
on the property.

Enjoyed the Day on the Train En-
Route From Portland to
San Francisco.
Says that Evils Have Been Growing out Of
Prosperity, Caused by the Undue
Use Of Wealth.

at Dunsmuir, the president said
that everywhere he travels in the
west he finds unmistakable evi-
dences of prosperity and that if the
signs do not fail the country is upon
the eve of an era of business pros
perity and expansion never before
seen in the United States. "Now
with that said the president, Il
would not have you forget that
there are certain responsibilities
We have had evils growing out of
our prosperity. Men have seized
power by means of the accumulation
of wealth and it's use in methods
that are not legal and cannot be
approved, by. means of monopoly
and otherwise. Now we are at
tempting by means of general laws
of the United States and otherwise,
to suppress that kind of abuse.
These abuses were brought to
the attention of the people in the
marvellous crusade of my predeces-
sor, Theodore Roosevelt, and it is
my duty to continue these policies
and enforce them as far as l may,
and to have put upon the statute
books those laws which shall clinch
the progress which was made under
him, which he preached, and which
we all look forward to as a per-
manent condition. But the difficulty
is that whenever everybody is pros
porous and everybody is comfort
able, then is the time our old friend
Satan steps in and helps along the
evil cause. These are the times
when the people must look to the
enforcement of the law.
"You should select your repre-
sentatives carefully and have them
know that you are watching them
in congress-, and see that they fol-
low the line of enforcement. OF
course we want prosperity, but We
wish prosperity in such way that
there shall be equality of opportun-
ity among individuals so that every
body will get his share, and that
it shall not be confined to the few

WHY THEY ADJOURNED

A slight earthquake visited many
cities of the gulf states some years
ago. The shaking of the earth was
distinctly felt all over one state. but
especially in the state capitol. The
legislature was in session at the
time, and nearly every member
thereof ran out of the building when
the structure began to evince a dis
position to turn itself over. or
course there was then an end to
legislative proceedings for that day.
When the body had reconvened 1t
was fouid that some member of a
grimly humorous turn had made an
entry on the journal of the legisla-
ture In these words; "on motion
OF the house the legislature ad-
journed."

LINCOLN PENNIES
TO HIS FRIENDS
j. GRANT CRUMLEY RECEIVES
500 OF THE NEW COINS
YESTERDAY

]. Grant Crumley, of the Nevada
club, yesterday received shipment
of 500 new Lincoln pennies from
the sub-treasury at San Francisco.
These coins he will distribute to his
numerous friends.
The coins are somewhat unique.
On one side appears the bas-relief
of Lincoln's profile surmounted by
the I'm God We Trust At the
left of the figure appears the word
Liberty" while the date, 1909, is
to the right.
The reverse side contains the
words "E Pluribus Unum," and
United States of America" The
lettering is surrounded by a wreath.
This issue of pennies is somewhat
limited owing to the government
having issued an order to cease
coming them.

GOLDFIELD TEAM
IS NOT ANXIOUS
TO Drill AGAIN

William Ross, who competed in
the drilling contest at Goldfeld last
Saturday with his partner, A. Jones,
came over from Goldfield yesterday.
Ross is desirous of drilling the win

issued a challenge to that effect.
The Goldfield team has shown a de-

Ross stated last evening that he
and his partner ceald walk away
from the Goldfield team, and would
have captured the first prize in the
contest but for the breaking of a

chances on allowing the money to
go to an outside team He will re-

The crowd which greeted the
president at the capitol tonight was
so big and noisy that he attempted
to speak only for a few minutes.
Taft tried several times to secure
quiet. He APPEALED on the ground
of sore throat and hoarseness, but
it was of no avail and after speak
ing briefly on the subject of con-
servation, and arousing cheers by
the mention of Roosevelt's name,
the president asked to be excused
He had no censure for the crowd,
only sympathy, he declared.
In the library of the capitol build
ing, before he attempted to speak
out of doors, the. president was
made an honorary member of the
Sacramento Society of California
Pioneers. This society is limited to
those who came to California in
1S49. Out of the original member

seven left. Presidents Mckinley

NOT A Dull
line THROUGHOUT
COMING PLAY
"THE GIRL FROM RECTOR'S"
WILL PLAY HERE ON
THURSDAY EVENING

Following its run of an entire
season at Weber's Music Hall, New
York, 1.-The Girl from Rector's' will
be seen in this city, at the New Ne
vada theatre for a limited engage
ment of one night only, next Thurs
day. Paul M. Potter is the author
of the work, and despite the fact
that his past has been identified
with plays of a serious nature, he
hit upon vein of humor in "The
Girl" which astonished even his
most ardent admirers 1t is a long
step from play of the nature of
"Trilby,' of which he was the au-
thor, to an offering like that of his
latest creation. The New York crit
les declare that he has made a name
for himself in the world of comedy
which will survive his former repu-
tation. There isn't a dull line in
''The Girl from Rector's" and not
a situation that cannot be under
stood and appreciated by anyone.
The success of the piece may be
judged from the fact that it's earn
ing capacity at Weber's was many
times greater than that of the same
house when the Weber & Fields Of
ferings there were the sole topic of
New York's theater going public.
