be confined in large measure to the Buckeye State and
that in other States among another and different people,
might not experience such fatterng prospects, Only

THROWN FROM HORSE
AND SEVERELY INJURED

On December 81. at the Evans home
ranch at Willow Point, Joe Gordon
was thrown from his horse and severe
ly, If not fatally, injured.
Some time ago Mr.. Gordon suffered
broken collar bone, and had not yet
regained the proper use of his arms.
While attempting to mount, the horse
jumped, and owing to his disability he
was unable to retain his scot and was
thrown with great violence, striking on
top of his head. While the skull was
not fractured, the injured man has not
yet regained consciousness, and has
bled considerable from the ears. A te.-
ephone message received this morning
by Manager A. S. Evans stated THAI
there was no change in Mr.. Gordon 3

Stauffer remained with dis brother, and
DR.. Samuels started on the return trip
Sunday noon, arriving last evening.
Shortly after reaching home he reeeiv-

Mason Valley, operating at Yering-

bodies of sulphide smelling ore when
carries heavy excess of iron. This
character of ore will be of very great
value to the Mason Valley company,
and also to other mines operating IN
the same district after smelter has
been built there. All of the other
mines of Yerington are working on ore
which contains more or less excess Of
silica. The Mason Valley development
therefore, will provide the necessary
fiux, and make the district independ.

Nevada Consolidated is now treating
upwards of 2, tons of ore daily, which
is yielding about 80 pounds of fine cop

RESULT OF LABOR
CONFERENCE

At the conference of Governor Dick
erson with the labor leaders of the
state, held in Carson City last Wednes
day, every district in the state was
represented, J. w. Davey being presens
from Humboldt.
A full discussion of the situation was
INDUCED in by the conference, and the
following laws will be recommended to
the coming session of the legislature,
which will convene on Monday, the
18th instant:
The employers liability act is one
desired by the unions of this state.
Claims resulting from death or dis
ability are to be paid by the employ
er of the victim.
Labor also wants passed a labor
lien law whereby the claims of work
men shall constitute first lien upon
a building constructed. The work
men also want to be relieved from
paying the cost of collecting the
claims
The union men at the conference ex
pressed themselves strongly against the
contract labor system by the importa-
tion of aliens.
The governor was frankly told that
organized labor of the state want
the initiative and referendum, and
the recall, based upon the law now
in effect in Oregon.
Free textbooks, to be furnished by

schools are also desired The confer
ence is in favor of a law against child
labor, the object being to make Illegal

teen years.
Miners in gypsum camps are said to
work ten hours, and organized labor
wants that shift reduced to eigh.
hours, on account of the dust.
1t was also made plain to the gov
ernor that the miners of the state are
opposed TO the use of powder over six
months old. Powder has tendency -
