Good Fellows
Compare Notes

One OF the peculiar political fights
of the late campaign was waged be-
tween Joe Josephs and Jack Legate,
the nominees for Clerk of the SUI
preme Court. Ever since the re-
turns began to come i'll the two have
wondered where they were at. One
day Josephs is ahead, the next brings
Legate to the front. Friends of both
men have been Ike eping count and the
tallies are SO close that neither friend
nor foe can claim the election.
Legate meets JUsrpIro tirv otrv~t
and asks him how the figures stand.
It's ten TO one bet that Joe will say
that he believes Jack is elected The
next day JoScphs meets Jack and ON
asking how the fight stands is told
that he figures that Joe is the winner
The first man to inform JOscpns that
he was ahead was Legate and he fig
urcd out that Joe had him beaten by
about fifteen votes in all that were
heard from.
The have both settled down to wait
for the official canvass which will
come off on the third Monday of This
month. In the meantime, two good

number OF parties who worked in

testified as to its richness. 1t IS on
this testimony and specimens that are
available both in the dump and by
private parties, that the work OF un-

As the company owns one OF the
finest equipped electric power plants
in the west and everything is prac-
tically in running order ii should be
no trouble to unwatcr the shaft and
determine the values that have been
reported for years.
Other properties III that section are

MANHATTAN CITIZEN
MEETS A SHOCKING DEATH
Water Owner Falls Into Shaft and
is not Found Until too Late

One Of the most shocking accidents
that ever occurred in Manhattan dis
trict, re sulting in the death OF the
victim, occurred between the hours
of 4 p. IN. Monday and p m Tues
day, when l.. F. Golish, manager Of
the water company here, fell down a
well, sustaining injuries S-h;eh ~e-
suited in his death
It never will be known just how
the accident occurred, as he was
alone when it happened but it is
generally supposed that he was de-
scending the we'll when round Of

top gave away precipitating him to

This morning an engineer by the
name OF Brown passed through this
city on his way to Alpine County,
where he will start operations on the
Hercules property, which has been
idle for the past two years. Several
years ago a number OF Reno people
bought the property and equipped II
with new mill. electric power plant,
and did considerable mining. The
property failed to pay and from time
TO time there has been an attempt
made To start things moving. The
property is one of the oldest in NJ
pine, formerly being worked by Lord
Chalmers. Considerable high grade
ore was taken out and millcd by Mr..
Chalmers, but after base ores were
opened up the property reverted to
other owners.
During the development OF the
early days shaft was sunk on the
Advance ground, which is part OF
the Hercules property. This shalt
opened up a ledge of very high grade
ore. The fact that considerable wat

climbed the ladder to the platform
after the fall, and was there found,
his back leaning against the wall OF
the we'll, with life extinct.
AS near as may be learned Mr..
Golish started his descent about =.
IN. Monday. The next day neigh
hor, e'f- his, S F. Smith, noting his
continued absence and fearing some
thing wrong, went looking for him
The nunt resulted in the finding Of
his remains in the well about 7 D. m
Tuesday.
There is no telling how many
hours the man suffered previous TO
his death. Dr. Garner, who viewed
the remains and assisted at the in
quest, stated that death had occurred
at least SIX hours before the bodv
was discovered and ascribed the
cause OF death TO shock from the vio-
lent injuries received.
Mr.. Golish was about 80 wears Of
age, married and the father of three

Ed Walsh, Fred Gushing, Henry
Burlington and several other Car
sonites left this morning in Ray
crafts auto for the new coal fields
south of this city During the past
two months about one thousand
acres OF coal land have been located,
mostly by people from this city,
Experiments and analysis show
that the locators have found a large
deposit of coal Considerable devel-
opmcnt is being carried on and the
coal is improving in quality as well
as width since the starting Of the
work
As oil shalc and sands nave been
found in the ncighborhood the Car
son locators are endcavOring to make
a consolidation and put in a drilling
machine that will prove the territory,
Ii is likely that by spring an oil rig
will be on the ground and the drill

brought to this city and i'll every in

little ash. With the building of the

Last week the Reveille noted the
fact that Austin merchants were

prosperity that had been strange to
the town for many months.
Further inquiry discovers that two
main reasons have the credit Tor tins

working in the district and the con-

The other reason. of equal impor-
tance, is the abolition of gambling,

DOWNWARD TREND IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
All News Is Bearish and Prices
 Decline
CLOSE IS VERY WEAK
Corn Drops Because of Big Receipts and Expectation of Continued Gains. Oats Close Lower and Pro-
 visions Irregular

Chicago, December S.-Wheat proved a heavy load today for the bulls. The great acreage in this country, fine harvest in Argentina, and lower quotations in Eu- rope were all bearish. A weak close re- suited with last prices 1zc to 1kGD5sc below last nights close. Corn showed a ne~ loss of Aq7so to 9s@1ac; oats nnfssz4s.ooa He AQ2sc off, and provisions unchanged to Ice advance.
 Latest sales of wheat brought the lea.t money of any. Except that dry weather continued in the southwest and that fns was some enlargement of the cash de- mand here, the news throughout was wholly in favor of the bears Argentine weather and crop advices began so good that cargoes from Buenos Ayres were offered freely at reduced figures. Every European market sent lower quotations save Paris, where the rise was unimpor tant. Western stocks kept piling up and Duluth looked for 50o,OOO bushels increase this week. Buffalo reported 100000 bush els afloat in addition to the warehouse to4 tai. This amount in marine storage is nearly double that of the corresponding period year ago. From start till finish the market felt, also, the effect of selling due to the unprecedented extension in the area sown to winter wheat. Rallies in no case reached last nights level.
 Corn dropped because consignments from Iowa were beginning to arrive and a big run was expected by the middle of next week. Argentine shipments assumed gigantic proportions, 4.50O,o0O bushels, as against 1,26S, 900 bushels 12 months back May fuctuated between 47asc and 4724e, with the close Aq9sc net lower at 472sQ 471ac.
 Cash corn weak. No. 2 yellow finished 501k950%e. Absorption of oats on soft spots and covering orders discouraged or ferings so that the market was relatively firm as compared with other grain. May varied from s4QS41Sc to S4asc, and closed Ac off at 34lsc.
 Realizing sales caused a back-set in the provision pit after an advance due to fall ing off in the packing output. At the end pork held 10G15c of the uplift, lard was the same as last night, and ribs dearer by 21ac to 21sQ5e.

Nsw orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. December 8.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a loss or l4@lo noints on the census bureau report on ginning to December 1. The figures, 10,- 139, ,9S6 bales were larger than expected and caused heavy selling as soon as the market opened and over-balanced the eff feet of a very bullish Liverpool market as well as a small crop estimate by a nrorninent trade journal. Selling came principally from disappointed longs, al though ring traders offered considerable short cotton. The market had no strength at all in the early trading and at the end of the first half hour of business stood 15@1S points down.
 No great amount of activity was in evil dence at any time during the morning session. Selling was steady, but in mod

Many pointers to this estimate were circulated by brokerage houses, using the census figures as basis. These pointers ranged all the way from 10, 75O,000 bales up to 12,250,00O The general disposition, however, was to cause private opinion to look for somewhat higher figures from the government than has been the case for week or two past.
