The Cow.

The dairy cow, if able to ex-
press herself in a way which the
human family would comprehend,
might we'll lay claim to being
mans best friend. She might es-
tablish such a claim by calling
attention to the fact that from
her product and from her carcass
man manufactures more of the
n~sosssaries of life than from any
other similar source. She fur
nishes these necessities to him
from infancy until such a time as
temporal things r no longer as
scciated with his existence, and
she does it ungrudgingly and con.
stantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure,
the prosperity of an agricultural
community is more closely ldenti-
fed with her than with any other
of the domestic animals. The
horse is quite essential in tilling
the soil, but where necessity re-
quires 1T the sturdy son of the COW

the salvation of the farmer in
times of poor crops as ahe is able
to convert the rough crops which

In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the

The elimination of the dairy

revolutionary readjustment of
mans tastes and requirements. 1t
would mean untold suffering and
hardship, OF course she will not
be dispensed with but her value
can perhaps best be appreciated
by contemplating such a loss.
She will continue to be mans
best friend as long as the human
family exists and will keep on
supplying HIM with his greatest
needs just as she has done through
all the ages.

A ROWDY CONVENTION.
Goodwin Delegates Withdrew From the Con-
yenlion, Clark Nominated by Regulars.

uuuHih UGitSoleS WiihuiGH IIuNi tus uVn-
yenlion, Clark Nominated by Regulars.
Wilmington, July 22,-After
the most turbulent session the
sixth congressional convention
aver held, early this morning on
the 43rd ballot they nominated
Hon. O.. L. Clark, of Clarkton.
The nomination followed one of
the most sensational conventions
ever held here. The delegates
we're divided into two factions,
Goodwin followers and the field.
The Goodwin forces refused to vote
in the convention. After Clark's
nomination early this m orning,
the Goodwin forces met with Geo.
H. Bellamy, deposed as chairman
by the field, presiding. The God
win forces decided to hold a
meeting later on to-day. The
advices from the beach now say
they are in session and sonsstion-
al developments are anticipated.
The delegates are at dagars points.
1t was a deadlock yesterday after-
noon whom the Goodwin forces at
tempted to throw out ths votes of
Cumberland and New Hanover.
They claimed that those delegates
we're appointed by executive COM
mittee and not elected. A meet
Ing of the executive committee
vas called, at which Geo. H. Bel
lamy, temporary chairman, was
deposed and VIM. E. Springer
elected instead. When the con-
.vention was called to order both
chairmen attempted to pre-
side. Great disorder reigned for
hours. The house was in a per-
feet turmoil. Policemen from
the city were summoned and these
got the convention to order at 8
p. m. last night. Gilbert F. Pat
terson, of Robson, was elected
permanent chairman. Springer
retired, but Bellamy kept his
place as chairman of the Goodwin
forces. The convention proceeded
to balloting. The Goodwin forces
refused to vote in the convention,
declaring that they did not recog-
nize the legality of the organiza-
ton. They were in the minority,
ratio 1O4 to 14o. There was much
jockeying on the ballots. The
votes swinging from one candidate
to another. Chairman Patterson
ruled that where the Goodwin
forces would not vote, the vote
could be cast by the minority dele
gates, therefore the full vote of
the convention raj polled on
eevry ballot and the Goodwin votes
we're counted, The break came
at 1 q. M, Hon. O. l..
Clark, of Clarkton, being NOM
mated. The house was in wild
disorder. The Goodwin forces i'm
withdrew, saying that
they would hold a meeting to-day
with Mr., Bellamy as chairman to
take action as they Q fit. The
was tense. Pandemo-
mum reigned. Order could not
be secured on the floor for six
hours until policemen secured
from the city arrived Whenever
the majority would attempt to
proceed with the business the
forces would drown out
everything with megaphones,
etc.
It looks now as if the Goodwin
element will nominate their man
also, making two candidates for

BIG Mine in PLUMAS

QUINCY. CAL, Dec. f2s.-The an
nouncement has just been made that
Colonel Winfield Scott Proskey and
George Wendell, millionaire mining
men of Nevada, have taken over the
control of the famous Plumas-Eureka
mine in this county, and have paid a
cash consideration of. $225,000 for the
property. This is undoubtedly the
largest cash sale of mining property IN
Northern California or Nevada for sew
eral wears, and marks a new era IN
the mining industry of Plumas county.
The Plumas-E Eureka mine has been
operated for more than fifty years, and
is still a big producer. 1t is stated
that it has produced more h a S4o,-
OOc 900. and of this vast amount more
than SIS, OOO,O 900 has been paid out IN
dividends. The mine was incorporated
in 1851 and was worked as early IS
1s4l by Mexicans. 1t was the first min
ing property Incorporated in California
and perhaps the first in the entire
west.
There are twenty-six miles OF under

SULPHUR COMPANY
in LEGAL TROUBLE

C.. j. Hasman for himself and other
stockholders has filed suit against the
Cuprite Sulphur Mining company, j.
E. Austin, S. A. Mcdonald, 7. l.. Hat
field, j. H. Hogan and j. F. Rabeth,
directors of the company, asking for
an accounting and demanding espe-
cially the return of 100000 shares of
treasury stock on the ground that the
stock was issued without any consid-
Grafton, although it was stipulated at
the time that the company was to
receive two cents net for each share.
The plaintiff further declares that the
has no funds in sight to meet
a maturing payment of $4,000 on the
option on the foregoing property and
that President Austin is not taking
any steps to protect the interests OF
the stockholders.
The allegation is also made that
prior to the organization of the Cup
rite Sulphur company, W. h. Gatford
had an option to purchase 10 lode
claims embraced in the holdings that
were subsequently transferred to the
company from Ellsworth 0ldt for the
sum of $4,000 and that their rights
were assigned to Austin and associates
as trustees with the understanding that
he was to receive the full capitalization
of the company and then restore 2oo,
900 to the treasury which 'was to be soif
for two cents a share, but which is al
legged to have been transferred to ). A.
Mcdonald, another director, without
any consideration. This is said to have
constituted fraud against the other
stockholders and an order is asked III
recting return of the stock to the
treasury.

MnSHES" o A VERY
'SORROWFUL A TOPIC

, enough to build the road himself and
let them make all the profit from it,
they took him in as a working partner,
and worked him to a finish. There was
a report in the press dispatches some
time g that of the money owed by
the -four to the government 40 years
ago, there is still 100000 due.
But that must have been a mytn,
ike the yarn about the Clutch Flat
~swindle' and the silver mines of Ne
vada Territory. There could never
have been a Nevada territory prior
to 1869, for that was the year that
the Central Pacific railroad was com
pleted, and we have Mr.. Fulton wo-d
for it that the railroad made Nevada.
He was no more specific in his de-
scription of this modern miracle than
is the book of Genesis on an even
more remarkable achievement, but
taking his bald statement as badly as
he made it, we are to infer that pre-
vious to the laying on of hands by
Saints Coils, Leland, Mark and
Charles there was a hole in the earth
that extended from Idaho on the
north to Arizona on the south, and
from Utah on the east to California
on the west, and that came out some
where in China.
But in 1869 the laying on of hands
took place, and somehow, with all
their power of miracles, the railroad
company have never been able to
take their hands away since-except
temporarily, for the purpose of trans
f%erring Nevada money, Nevada land,
and Nevada legislators to their
breeches pocket. They made Nevada
in 1869, and they have been making
it ever since-making it poorer. Their
road is bonded for SAG, 900 a mile, and
if they have averaged a payment of
taxes on a valuation of $4,000 a mile
at any time during their existence, we
have failed to hear of it. Their mile
age in Nevada-on the main line-is
about 600. Multiply the difference be-
tween the amount they pay taxes on
and the amount they tax others upon,
and you have $12S,000 a mile. Multiply
that by 600 miles and you have &c.
500, 000-the amount they fail to pay
taxes on each year. Multiply $75,SO0,-
900 by 40, the number of years since
the road was completed, and you have
$3,072, 600, 900. When the money ques-
tion was before the nation Is years ago,
it was agreed by the debators on both
sides that the entire stock of money
metal in the world-gold and silver
amounted to about 100000, 900. And
1902, 000, 900 comes close to being half
this amount. But granting that rail
road property, like that of other in
dividuals, should only be assessed at
60 per cent of its value, still we have
the stupendous sum of 81, 742, 100000 on
which the Central Pacific has failed TO
pay taxes during the past 40 years.
