Mining men are particularly inn

They are willing to invest there and
are getting in as fast as opportun-
tiles present themselves. Leasers
are eager to get in and why should

localities, the leaser is able to start
operations on ore He does not
have to 80 after it blindly in the
hopes of hitting something at depth.
Mr.. Nay states that work on the
new road will begin at an early date
and be carried to completion as fast
as possible. The commissioners
have allowed $3.50 toward the ex-
pense and while this sum will not 60
very far it will help a little. The
property owners in the district have
agreed to cooperate. They will
stand in to a man and give money
and labor to make the road one ot
the best in the state.
A recent strike made on the
ground OF Fancher and Smith has
created a little excitement. The

BIRD MAN JOHNNIE
IS NO MORE

Johnny, the Bird Man" known to
every one who ever visited the Cliff
House in San Francisco during the
past twenty years, is dead and his
birds which so delighted the young
and made for the old man a living
are in the hands of the public admin
istrator. Johnny, the Birdman, lived
alone with his birds at the little home
which he had bought with the nickels
contributed by the public. So far as
known he leaves no heirs and, equit-
ably, perhaps, the property should be
devoted to the support of the birds,
whose earnings acquired it for him,
but the law does not recognize birds
as heirs, even in this peculiar case,
and the mans property will probably
revert to the state, unless, indeed,
there happens to be will in the safe
deposit box, which he rented, but
which Public Administrator Hynes
has not had time to open.

GRAND JURY
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
BANK RECEIVERS
RETURNS RESOLUTION ASKING
THAT j. j. MULLEN CON-
TINUE AS RECEIVER.

The Nye county grand jury yes
terday presented to the fifth judicial
court resolutions to be rendered to
Mr.. j. ]. Mullen, who had announced
that he was going to resign from the
receivership of the Aye and Ormsby
County bank. The resolutions were
practically the same as was pre-
sented to Gilbert c. Ross on the pre-
vious day, and asked that the resig-
nation be not considered
The grand jury is cognizant of the
fact that the depositors of the closed
bank are in need of having repre-
sentatives in the bank that will look
after their interests and there is
none more fitted for this task than
Messrs. Mullen and Ross. The coun-
ty is also to be considered in the
matter, for when the bank closed
there were some 100000 on deposit.
AS it is the county is practically
bankrupt, and there is need of hav-
ing men act as receivers who will la
Dor for the best interests of all con-
cerned.

TO BE MADE SAFER.
Recommendation For Modification of
 Football Rules.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The inter collegiate athlethic association adopt ed and submitted to the rules commit tee tonight a resolution calling for a modification of football playing rules to reduce chances of injury to con- testants to a minimum.
 The resolution was adopted after three hours of acrimonious discussion. with only three votes against it.
 The revision of the game is ordered. it is understood. with due considera- tion of the association of Yale. Princeton. Pennsylvania. Cornell and a few other institutions that are not members of the inter collegiate association. Harvard has not joined but its representatives let it be known that this institution would not be bound by the new football rules. although it would recognize reg ulations in other minor sports
 The debate showed that the big institutions favor the present rules; the smaller ones are for revision.
