HOURS DEMANDED
by RETAIL CLERKS

The retail clerks of Kennett, Cal,
have formed an association for the
purpose of obtaining shorter hours
on duty and to force the merchants
of the city to close at o'clock each
evening and to remain closed all
day Sunday.
Until recently all of the mer-
chants followed the old custom of
keeping their stores open day and
night and Sunday morning. Since
the forming of the association a
number of the merchants have
agred to the request, but others
have refused.
The clerks have appealed to the
public to aid them in their crusade,
having printed circulars containing
their plea scattered throughout the
town. They will probably win their
fight.

ages are gifts sent early in order

moved and took up his residence at

une of that city, he is still keeping
up his mischievious pranks. Con-
cerning his behavior the Tribune of

say:
'W. B. Connell, whose perman-
ent address nine months out of each
twelve is care sheriff, Goldfield,'
was returned to the dark and dis
NAL depths of the county ;bastile
yesterday afternoon via. the Bat Sui
livan personally-conducted route.
"W. B. had served ninety days on
a charge of vagrancy, and was re-
leased yesterday morning. In the
afternoon he had accumulated 80
per cent of one beautiful jag, and
was infesting the society of bar
tenders to the destruction of their
peace of mind
Therefore Bat Sullivan was NOM
mated as chaperone, and shortly
thereafter Bat and w. B. were en-

after w. B. reposed peacefully on

GOOD ASSAYS
BROUGHT in FROM
HOT SPRINGS
NEW DISTRICT NORTHWEST OF
TONOPAH SHOWING GREAT
ACTIVITY

William M. Pierce, well known
old-timer of this neck of the sage
brush, came in several days ago
from Rawhide mountain, about rs
miles northeast of Tonopah in the
Hot Creek range. He brought in a
barley sack full of ore knocked
from the groupings of an S-foot rhy-
olite quartz ledge. The rock is a
gray-reddish shade of color, show
ing numerous specks of horn and
sulphide silver. The ore yielded an
assay of 1913 ounces in the white
metal and 40 cents in gold. Pierce
secured three claims, which he
named the Red Cross Nos. 1, and
respectively. The group lies be-
tween six and seven miles north
west of Hot Springs. There is
plenty of wood nearby, and small
spring of water within a mile and
half of the claims.
Mr.. Pierce left this morning with
heavy load of supplies and will
do the annual assessment work or
the property. He remarked in leav
ing that any leasers looking fol
promising property to operate will
be given liberal layout and treat
ed white.
