Prohibited Coffee Houses.

SO many coffee houses sprang into
existence in England during the reign
of Charles II. that he, entertaiBing a
belief that many political intrigues had
their beginning in those places, issued
an edict ordering them to be closed.
In this proclamation the following
words occurred: 'The retailing of cOf~
fee or tea might be an innocent trade,
but it was said to nourish sedition,
spread lies and scandalize great men
1t might also be a common nuisance"

GATES IS after
ANOTHER STAKE

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 12.-''Swift-
water Bill' Gates, mining prospector
of Spokane, who has found a half
dozen fortunes in the great white silent
north. and in the Pacific Northwest
to lose them in other ventures, has
turned up in the Andes mountains III
Peru, where he is examining a placer
mine. discovered and worked by Cortez
ard his men more than 300 years ago.
His partner, p. A. Wilson, now IN Spo-
kane. saws that Gates is to have a half
interest in the property for his work in
opening the mine, the cost of this being
$I65. 900. As Gates has ample backing,
il is believed he will be able to clear
ND another fortune. The mine is ~
miles from the coast at an elevation
of 1000 feet and so far has only been
ssseratched." There is a canal, 130
miles in length, through the placer
ground and it is purposed to use its
water in washing out the gold. Gates
has advised Wilson that the mountains
in Peru fairly reek with yellow metal,
as is evidenced by the fact that an
adjoining property is producing $ooo,-
600 in gold a month. He adds there
will be a rush to the new fields as soon
as full information is available.

RAILROAD men
VISIT GOLDF|ELD

M. B. Cutter, president of the Tono-
pah and Goldfeld railroad, with head
quarters at st. Paul, Mimi, and w. c..
Parks, a director in the company, resid-
ing in Philadelphia, arrived in Gold
field in a private car attached to the
regular train from the north yesterday
afternoon. With them was H. r. Han
lin, superintendent of the road. Last
evening a conference was held between
the officials and members of the local
committee regarding the locating of the
railroad shops in Goldfeld.
This morning the two railroad Off
Gals, accompanied by Superintendent
Hanlin and HI. r. Grier, local general
agent, left for the south over the Las
Vegas and Tonopah, the latter going
only as far as Rhyolite, the others
making the trip to Los Angeles.
Within a few days Mr.. Cutter and
Mr.. Hanlin will return to Goldfeld.

& q. RAILWAY CHIEF
OFFICIALS VISIT TONOPAH
AND DISCUSS NEW SHOPS

we were forced to lay our personal raa-
sons aside and discuss the proposition
from a business standpoint. I was Sc.
lected to take charge of the railroad
by my associates, in order to put the
line on a paying basis and to do this
it is necessary that operations be con
Quoted with the least possible expendi-
ture. The cost of keeping the shops in
Tonopah is greater than the compare
tive cost of maintaining them in Gold
field, and it was with this view that the
directors decided on the southern
town.
"Would not the present profit
derived from the freight consigned
to Tonopah merchants more than
offset the increased cost of con-
Quoting the shops here, when COM
pared to the loss that would result in
their ~removal?" was asked Mr.. Cut
ter.
"That would be a matter for the
people here to decide. The attitude
of the railroad toward the people Of
Tonopah is one of friendliness, and the
future will show that the welfare of
this city is of material Importance to
the directors of the road, all of whom
are largely interested in this district.
But, as | have stated before, if the
Goldfeld proposition is not settled sat
isfactory, the matter will again go be-
fore the directors. While / am en-
powered to act on certain matters, l
do not wish to choose a site without
comforting with my associates.
Mr.. Cutter spent yesterday IN
looking after the affairs of the road
and will leave this morning accom-
panied by President r. G.. Parks, of the
Belmont, for Los Angeles. After a
short stay in that city they will con
tinue on to San Francisco before lie
parting for the east. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Parks will visit Tonopah before his
return to Philadelphia.

been taken across 80 inches and as
saved for gold. This returned two
ounces, but as the ore is the regulation
heavily copper-stained base, other val

While the company will be ready TO
start making shipments to the smelter
within the next ten days, still, as a
matter of economy, regular shipments
will more than likely be delayed until
the new level has been more fully OPP
