Walter D. Cole, who was called to
Carson several days ago on lega,
business. returned from the capital
yesterday, and last evening stated
that the Nye county delegation in
both the assembly and senate, were
considered the strongest county rep
resentatives at the legislature.
Last evening Mr.. Cole received the
following telegram from Assembly
man Fred l.. Berry, who yesterday
in the assembly amended the Nye
county division bill so that it would
have to be ratified at the next gen.
eral election:
Division bill passed as amended
to be ratified at next general cleo
ton. Equivalent to defeat of the
measure.
In speaking of the measure. Mr.
Cole stated:
During my stay in Carson l had
several talks with Kendall and other
senators there and all assured me
that the bill would never pass in the
senate and there would be no county
division this year.
Kane and Tallman have beer
working during the entire time they
have been in Carson and are supplied
with all kinds of figures, data ant
photographs imaginable. In spite O.
this work they are doomed to defea
in the senate.
THE anti-gambling bill is alsC
causing considerable excitemen
among the legislators. There is pos
sibility that the measure might pas
the assembly, but from what | cal
learn it will also meet it's death il
the upper house. The secretary o
that organization has stated that h
has taken straw vote and predict
success for the measure. The gamb
ling element is giving out other pre-
dicitions in direct conflict with thos
of the anti-gamblers. If the bill
should pass the assembly there i

Especial Correspondence

CARSON, Feb. 10.-Sheriff Brad
ley of Esmeralda county Is to be
shorn of some of his patronage ac-
cording to a bill which passed the
senate this afternoon after the first
of series of warm contests sched-
uled for the present session of the
legislature. The vote stood ten to
nine in favor of the measure, and
was carried only after it's opponents
had been checkmated in all the par
liamentary tactics they could bring
toftheir command. The measure UNI
doubtedly would have passed with
out notice had it not been for Brad
ley, himself an old legislator, who
came here and appealed to his
friends to stand by him and defeat
the measure 1t is blieved thai
strong opposition will develop in the
assembly, but that the bill will easily
pass that body.
The measure is the result of con
troversy between Sheriff Bradley ant
the judges in the Goldfield district
Bradley was requested to extend the
judges the courtesy of appointing
their own court bailiff. This was re
fused and Tommy Ryan, who wa.
holding that berth under ingalls,, los
his position. Bradley stated tina
only political reasons prompted hin
to this act. Soon afterward the pres
ent bill was introduced
District mining recorders are to b.
abolished and in the future the pros
pector will be required to send hi
location notices direct to the count
recorder for filing. This in the even
that Brandons bill, which passed tn

measure strongly.

THE TILDEN BRIDGE

The bridge across the Snake river
at Tilden has been isolated from
travel for several weeks and the Po-
catello Tribune takes occasion to say
that II the business men Of Pocatello
expect to reap any benefits from its
existence they will have to get a road
made across the reservation and the
low lands bordering the river. That
1t has been long hard job to get the
bridge built, and 1t looks like another
big job to get the roads In proper
condition.
An effort was made to get the mail
routes changed so that tho several
offices down the line Of the big canal
might be supplied from Pocatello in
stead of from Blackfoot and Ameri-
can Falls, An inspector was sent out
to look the matter up, and his report
made during the high water was that
the route lay through swampy lands
that We're reputed to be inundated
every year. That nobody could get
o the bridge on account Of the floods,
md he recommended that no change
70 made.

The grounds are terraced, the

NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE

Mr.. G. T, Ericsson came here from
Salt Lake two weeks ago to take over
the photograph business of Jos. HI.
Cutler, who will devote his time now
to promoting the work of extracting
Snake river gold by chemical pro-
cess.
Mr.. Ericsson comes well recon-
mended as an artist as the following
article taken from the Reporter Of
Eureka, Utah. will show
Ericsson. the photographer and
successor to P. Swanson, is turning
out splendid class Of work and con-
sequently is doing nice business.
Mr.. Ericsson was for several years
connected with Monroe Studio at
Salt Lake and the Studio of r. Jay
Haynes at st. Paul and brings the

NEGLIGENT v. /. 8. MEMBERS.

Last month no regular meetin
could be held because there were no
} enough members out to make
quorum. therefore no business coult
be transacted. Practically the onl,
committee work being active is tha
OF the cemetery. This is indeed al
unfortunate state Of affairs consider
ing the large membership of the So
ciety and the need for action in sew.
eral branches of the work. The ceme-
terry work has been progressing nice
! ly, but the amount of funds on hand
is exhausted and of course the work
must stop or more money be provid-
ed. The grounds are taking on such
an improved appearance, it will be
unfortunate to discontinue now.
While an unavoidable delay has tax
en- place in distributing the water
over the lots that has proven tenn
porary drainage, nothing of serious
nature will result if the work of til
ing can be continued rapidly, and for
this work to go on the pay roll of the
men must be met. Individual lot
owners should cut down the RAPIDLY
growing sweet clover. A couple of
hours with proper tools in each lot
Will work wonders This is not work
that belongs to the society which only
undertakes to improve the general
condition of the grounds not owned
by individuals. 1t Is not advisable
to seed or plant until the water sys-
tenn is complete, but now is the best
time to get the weeds out of the way.
The city council has had erected near
the gates a comfortable little cottage
with one room reserved for the use
OF the V. I. S. lot owners and visitors.
1t would be good idea to arrange
an afternoon for the public to go out
and inspect the work, with the city
council and the v. I. S.

AT THE GOLD NINE

On Wednesday number of 1oca
people visited the Gold Point place
property where the new process ex
traction plant Is being installed. TIL,
party included Mayor West, Campbell
Bros, Merrs. Leo Henish, Snyder
Johnston and Anderson under the
chaperonage of Jos. Cutler.
They were shown over the ground
by the manager Mr.. Clevenger and
they panned gold from the gravel and
sand at various places that struck the
fancy of different members of the
party.
In the demonstration plant which
was erected last March and where
all questionable points were finally
settled by the promoters. The party
was shown the method of extracting
the gold from the sand and all ex-
pressed surprise and satisfaction at
the simplicity of the whole process.
The small plant has demonstrated
to the most sceptical beyond any
doubt that 1t is practical and efficient
and financial success, and num-
Der of local people have taken stock
in the enterprise. 1t has been hard
work to pursuade the people that an
was being exploited direct
ly at home where 1t could be examin-
ed and Investigated to the fullest ex-
tent but confidence has been express
ed by several in the shape OF dollars
which are being used in the construc-
tion work incidental to the extrac-
tion. Gold has been known to exist in
quantity in this valley for years and
numberless machines have been par
ticularly built to save 1t. None were
aver completed nor shown complete
10 those who were asked to help
build them.
The promoters of this new process
lave eliminated the machine idea
and are using chemical
means Of extracting not only the vis-
lble gold but the gold that is actual
y contained in the black sand. They
invite any one to make visit and
investigate, to the fullest extent, their
method OF extraction and hope by
Q doing to gain the confidence of the
eople and incidentally their support
financially to build up one of the big
est and best paying enterprises in
he state.

FRUITS AND GRAINS NEEDED

wants samples of all kinds Of pro.
ducts of this locality to place on ex-
hibit in the club rooms, and If the
farmers will make selections of the
best they have and bring them In the
club will do its share in using them to
advertise the country and work up
bettre markets. The farmer should
not take the view that if the club
wants them they can come out and
get them, for the club is made up of
men who are Just as busy as the
farmer, and it is as much the farmers
interest to have this exhibit kept up
as anybody's.

Fisher and a number of residents o
Shilling avenue were present. Afte
the reading Of the minutes the cit,
engineer reported that the most feast
bic line from the court house soutl
to Mr.. Berryman's would be 35a fee
from the property line. That the only
other place to establish it where II
J would not conflict with trees would
be fourteen feet from the property
line.
The line 3 " feet from the prop
erty line would necessitate the re-
moval of trees at Mr.. Gagon's, Mr..
Grimand's and Mrs. Wasley's.
In answer to question, C. w.
Berryman stated that the Kimball ad-
dition east of and including the east
side Of Shilling was accepted as
part of the city, but the west side is
still in acreage and the lots had been
sold by meets and bounds.
A motion was made by Councilman
Bowen, to establish the side walk
line 36 feet west of the street center
the full length Of Shilling avenue.
Councilman Bond amended to 40
feet. The amendment was lost. The
matter was tabled for one week.
Chairman Gibbs of the fountain
committee reported that watering
trough had been ordered through Neil
F. Boyle & Co. and would be here in
two weeks.
Attorney Hansbrough was asked
who should pay for rebuilding ditch
after it had been destroyed in build
ing pavement, and stated that if the
ditch was made after the street was
laid out, it would be an encroachment
and the owners of the ditch acquired
no right by the lapse of time.
Four ordinances were passed.
s@s Police Judges Salary
After a careful discussion of the
matter it%was ordered by a unani-
nous vote that the salary of the
police judge be reduced from $500
to $500.

Houck's opera house was ordered |
lowered six inches below the grade of

1t was ordered that telephone and
electric light poles shall be placed in s
the parking near the curb.

sary for handling the sewer business.
