HE WILL GET JUSTICE IN ANY COUNTY.

The affidavit of Hon Thomas B. Hickey, to the effect that he
cannot get a fair and impartial trial in Ormsby county and that
his life would be in danger if tried in Ormsby, is untruthful in
every particular, emitting none whatever The truth is that he is
more likely to get a fair and impartial trial in Ormsby than in any
other county in the state, and 50 far as his personal safety is con-
cerned, it Il a short ride from Carson City to Reno, says the Car
son Appeal, where the case would likely be removed, If at all, and
anyone in Ormsby desiring to kill him would have a better oppor-
tunity in Reno than in Carson. In fact, during the greatest excite
ment following the failure of the State Bank and Trust company,
no one in Ormsby county attempted to hurt a hair OF his head,
and no one ever heard that anyone entertained the. idea that per-
sonai injury should be visited upon him. That being the case,
anyone signing a petition to tho effect that he knows the feeling
against Mr.. Hickey in ormsby, and that in his opinion he cannot
get a fair and impartial trial in Ormsby, would stamp himself as
a slanderer of his neghbors, The further truth is that the general
feeling in Ormsby is to the effect that it would have been better
for the depositors and creditors of the State Bank and Trust com
pany II Mr.. Hickey could have taken hold to marshall its assets. 1t
is evident that he could have done so, and very likely have saved
money for himself, and assuredly have saved much for the credit
os and depositors, because he knew where the money went and
best how to get it back.
The citizens Of Ormsby are law-abding people and nc people.

The further fact is that Mr.. Hickey is just as much in dan

STATE DIVISION.

The gay, festive and ever busy gang of rustlers of the south
end OF the Golden State are all up in arms-resolootin, rearify-
ing, their coats of, sleeves rolled up and going to sue for a d-
yorce, all because the state board Of equalization has raised the
valuations Of property all the way from % to 100 per cent. The
southern end IL going to secede, go it alone, become a California
In Itself with South" as a prefix
Before this division, says the Bodie Miner, subtraction or alb
stracton takes place we of Mono will have d little to say about
the trouble Alpine, Inyo and Mono county are mavericks, being
claimed by no state except at the annual tax roundup. Some
night we will move onr fence down the hill below Lucky Boy
hill, call a constitutional convention and make Bodie the capital
Of the new state Of Maverick. An ideal location for a penal insti-
tuition can be found IN Death Valley, where the unregenerate could
DO their own guarding. On Mt. Lyell all the bughouse intruders
could be exHedt with comfort-to the balance of the community.
AS Mono supplies most of the water for the proposed new state,
the new government could take charge, install electric plants and
make the state self-supportng by selling light, power and water
to our esteemed neighbors. AS there are no politicians in the pro-
posed new state q few could be imported, but the head tax should
be a heavy one.
Of course all this cannot be done in less than three weeks.
but Sc far as either California or Nevada is concerned. lis could be
accomplished most any dark night.

NEVADA LEADS IN LAND PURCHASE.

The report Of the commissioner Of the general land office to
the secretary OF the interior covering a period Of time from June
80, 1907, to June 80, 1908, which has just been received by
Louis J.. Cohn. register of the United States land office at Carson,
dsdoses the fact that Nevada leads every other state in the union
II the purchase Of mineral lands. The report shows that for the
time mentioned $5l,070 was paid into the United States land Of
nee at Carson by mineral applicants. California ranks second,
with $44,8S9 collected; Colorado third with s34,SS0 and Mon
tana fourth with $31469 invested.
The record OF the Carson land Office is all the more remark
able when it is taken into consideration that it is the only fed
eal land office in the state. Colorado has ten United States land
offices, Montana nine, and California eight, and the official figures
for mineral purchases In these several states are made up out of
the combined business of each of the offices.
About 95 per cent of this business of the Carson land office
IS done through correspondence and it is the first time in its his
tory that it has led all the other states in the purchase Of min
era lands. The office was first opened at Carson City in March,
1864, under an executive order authorizing its establishment is
sued July 2, 1862. Register Cohn estimates that the report of
the commissioner of the general land Office for the year ending
June 80, 1909, will show the Carson land office still in the lead
and by a margin far exceeding the present figures. Another sig
nncant fact connected with the work at the Carson land office is
tnat TINS record is made in the face of a vast amount of agricu-
tural entries not included in the estimate and all Of the work is
IN n single land office as against the eight to ten in Cali
fornia and Colorado. 1t speaks volumes for the efficiency of the
office.

SHAMEFUL AFFAIR.

In one way of looking at the marriage Of Anita Stewart
and the disreputable Prince Miguel of BraGanza, perhaps II is
none Of the pubucs business what she did As q free agent she
might argue that If she wanted to buy 4 notorious roue she had
a Perfect and unassaiable right to do so.
But there is another point Of view Phipca Miguel s d fellow
of such character ard repute that be is not received In the eu
elusive clubs Of European capitals. Any sefrespectng American
father would kick such a person down the steps If ne called at
the family home. The laws forbid miscegenation in many Of the
states Of this country, and there is such a thing as mental misce.
genahon, SO to call IT. To marry a degenerate like Prince Miguel
is as bad as for a white woman to marry a negro or an Asiatc.
We win not permit children to play with fire. We teach them
carefully the danger Of firearms. In many states we make suicide
a crime against the commonwealth, as Il is against religion.
When a supposedly decent American girl weds a person SO
wholly unfit for her, as in this case. we ought to have some way
Of preventing the union. Her soul is as certain TO be scared ATS
would be the finger Of a child that touched hot iron or a living
coal, and she really commits moral suicide.
It looks as if the girl in this instance had been sacrificed to
feed the longings Of her vain mother for social distinction. It Is
shameful afair-sacramento Union.

A PROBLEM IN HIGH FINANCE.

The defunct Nye and ormsby County bank closed its doors in
February, 1903. At the time Of closing the officers Of the bank
spread the news broadcast that the bank had assets Of over ONE
MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS; that every de-
position would be paid in full within a few months; that every
stakeholder would receive par value for his stock and that there
would remain a substantial profit to be divided among the stock
holders after all obligations we're discharged in full.
Practically seven months elapsed until the second report of
Hall as receiver was filed at Carson City. In all of ahat time
there has been collected from assets of OVER ONE MILLION SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND DoLLARs() and all sources, the sum
of SIS. 962.O4-PRACTICALLY ONE PER CENT or THE So
CALLED ASSETS.
The expenses paid by the receiver while collecting this one
per cent Of the assets was $7.40S10, or practically FORTY PER
CENT or THE ENTIRE AMOUNT COLLECTED.
Here is a question in arithmetic for the Bonanza readers
If tt takes seven months to collect one per cent Of the assets and
the cost Of collecting said one per cent is forty per cent Of the
total amount collected, how long win It be until the depositors
are paid dollar for dollar and the stockholders par for their stock
as the officers Of the defunct institution publicly promised when
the bank closed its doors?

COME TO LIFE

Goodwin's Weekly kicks a bale Of hay out of Salt Lake for
not sending more than seven delegatesat to the American mining
congress at Godheld. 1t says that the meagre representation Of
that Mormon metropolis at the Goldfeld meeting was little less than
q disgrace, and that the fall-down on the promise to send a special
train and brass band was as ludicrous as 1t was humfliating.
Goodwin's Weekly is correct And II those things can be said
OF Salt Lake by its home papers. what cannot be said Of Reno, d
town IN the same state with Goidheld-the commercial center and
potential metropolis OF Nevada?
There is no use talking, Reno will have TO come to life, have
to wake up II she means to get cn the mar. The law prevents the
Oslerigation of fossils, but does not prevent our live men-if we
