GoldIield Mining Congress

Mr.. James G.. Givens, secretary of
the American Mining Congress. was an

interest of the coming session of the

Our association can accomplish Il
great work for the mining industry.
We are getting mining progressed by
the general government, but govern

mining as an industry. But our in
tiuence has become so powerful that
President Taft has promised the officers
of the congress that in his next message
he is going to give us Il department of
mining and n member of his cabinet
and let the general government do for
mining what it has done for agriculture.
Our mining has been done in hap.
hazZard way. We want it conducted
as it should be OH scientific principles.
why shouldn't we have Depart
mcnt of Mines" said Mr.. Givens,
when Mr.. Hartman told us at onr last
congress ut Pittsburg that S3 per cent
of all the railroad freights comes from
the mining industry. The American
Mining Congress believes that if the
general government will give us min
ing department we can make the why's
and whcrefores Of mining plain. 1t
will enable as to staI!d on solid ground
1t will enable us to proceed OH exact
lines with the assurances that we will
attain certain results.
THE American Mining Congress
points with pride to the fact that the
principles of the organization have
been enacted in the statutes of six
states for the prevention of mining
frauds. 1t has also secured large ap-
preparations from congress for investi-
eating the causes of mine accidents.
For our work we think we are entitled

A BIG DEAL
SOUTH FORK POWER RIGHTS
SOLD TO MESSRS. CALVIN
AND HALL

\ deal was cOnsummalcd in Elko
Tuesday night that means much for the
South Fork country and Eiko county ut
large.
About four years ago, Hayden Hen
derson began to take up power rights in
Fork of the humboldt river He stayed
with the proposition despite the panic
and Tuesday night he and j !. Hylton
concluded the deal by which their in
tercsts in the undeveloped power rights
passed into the hands of &. d. Calvin
and F. II. Hall, California promoters.
The water in the several canyons is to
be conveyed by pipe lines toa central
plant. where electric power will be
generated. This power will bc trans.
mitted to Ely and intermediate points
and used by mining companies. 1t is
said that the companies at Ely can use
all the power generated at this plant
We understand that the purchasers
have the necessary money in sight to
install the plant. AS il is estimated
that it will cost Il million dollars to put
the plant in operation, one can readily
SEQ the immense benefit this hydro.
electric plant will be to Ellio county.
Mr.. Henderson declined to state the
amount received for the power rights,
but it was doubtlcs no small sum.
Mcssrs. Calvin and Hall left for the
east this morning to complete the
financial end of the enterprise. Things
may hum at South Fork on their return.

projected into the subconscious ego of
the patient with the inevitable result
that death follows
"Of course the three doctors who

exhibition were unaware of the evil
they were working, but the operator,
Everton, should have known the dan
ger he was running. BY his qualms
of terror he aided the doctors in their
unfortunate suggestions and only has
tened the death of Simpson.
ut was proved many years ago that
a man may be so under the control of
the operator as to be suggested to
death. The eminent Father Fabier in
an experiment reduced his subject to
the lowest ebb of life and only saved
him because he ceased to suggest.
During the process of inducing death
the heart becomes continually weaker
until at the spoken suggestion that it
has stopped beating altogether 1t ac-
tually ceases. This is no doubt what
