J. E. McDevitt ls Here From
Copper Camp OF Ely.

James Z. NcDevitt arrived from Ely
this morning, and, after spending a
day or two at Ogden, will continue on
to his old home at Butte, where he Is
identified with various mining propo-
sitions. Mr.. McDevitt SAYS there are
several good and promising mining
camps In the sagebrush state. but
many of the reputed valuable mines
are little more than prospects and Will
require material development before
they can be claSsed as mining propo-
sltionS of merit. He says the districts
around Ely show up a wealth OF low
grade copper propositions. but reduc-
tion works are necessary to handle this
profitably and these have not yet been
secured.
1.-THE state is full OF idlo men" con-
tinued Mr.. McDevtt. and Goldheld.
Tonopah, Rhyolite. Ely I(and other
camps are simply overfiowing with
men in search of employment. who are
without means to get out of the coun-
try, when they cannot find work. l do
Eot believe I exaggerate 1t when |
say there are twenty men after every
Job offered and, as a result of this
condition, there Is good deal Of want
and destitution In every camp In Nc
vada. This naturally leads TO crime
and an army Of officers are required

FURIOUS RUNAWAY ON
TWENTY-FIFTH STREET

G. A. Muller's horse yesterday after
noon took the bit in his teeth on upper
Twenty fifth street and ran pellmell
with the painter, wagon and all, down
the hill as far as the corner OF Wash
ington and Twenty-ffth. where the
entire outfit came in contact with the
curb, near the Pingree bank, and Geo.
Beam. Mr.. Beam became entangled
with the wheels OF the vehicle, and, as
the infuriated horse dashed across the
street toward the city hall, was drag
ged along with the runaway. Mr. Null
Ter clung TO the reinS, but the animal
could not be stopped until the curb
on the city hall side of the street was
reached.
AS a result Of the runaway, Mr-
Beam emerged from the gutter with
his clothes bespattered, but he was
not seriously injured,
Mr.. Muller was thrown into the air
and came down with thud. In de"
scribing his experience, Mr.. Muller
said:
Il tried to stop the horse by pulling
with all my strength behind an IDLE
dray. close to the gutter The impact
with the wagon and gutter was sucn
a shock that ! was thrown up In the
air and to the sidewalk, receiving a
very painful spraln on the left ankle
bruises on the thigh bone and GUS
on lower left leg bone, also right leg
bruises and severe painful head
bruises,
IL am unable to be on my feet to-
day. On this exciting trip | lost my

c. H. Meddy, colofed man. was in
police court today. charged with
flourishing a dangerous weapon. He
entered a plea of guilty. Proprietor
Lucas OF the Ogden rooming house was
called to the stand and proceeded to
relate the circumstances. He said that
an employe of the house discovered
Meddy exploring the upper halls of the
house and incidentally trying the doors
of certain rooms When asked what
his business was, Meddy replied that
he was looking for some friends.
He was told that il he desired TO
rent a room or interview any OF the
occupants of the house, he would find
the proprietor In the office below.
This seemed to anger the man and he
replied In somewhat vigorous terms,
which brought Mr. Lucas TO the scene.
Meddy repeated the friend story and
Lucas told him to leave the house
The man left, but returned later to
begin a second TRADE OF abuse against
the house and It's management,

of descriptive terms and backed out
OF the place. evidently pleased with
the CONSERVATION which he had spread.
The police located him soon after In

The court apparently considered 1t
useless to question the defendant and
imposed a sentence of thirty days on
the rock pile.

WHAT Is A PIONEER?

The term pioneer is used in this
state very loosely. Almost every one
who has been resident of the city
or state for twenty years os so Is cred
tied with being pioneer. A pioneer
of a new country is hardly one who
came to it on a railroad train with
Pullman conveniences, making the trip
across the continent in comfort in five
or six days.
The Pioneers association of this
state, which will hold its annual meet
ing this week, has very different con-
ception of the matter. According to
the definition of the association, no
one can be considered pioneer who
did not come to the state prior to 1870
in other words, who did not come here
before the railroads reached the terri
tory. 1t is now proposed to broaden
the definition, and make a term OF
forty years residence here sufficient
to qualify for admission to the society
of association of pioneers. At that
many thousands who are styled pio-
neers will be excluded from member
ship for many years to come.-Seattle
