THE DOVE OF PEACE.

With the firing upon the white flag by the
Mexican insurrecto soldiers there is every in
dlcation that the dove of peace is not properly
on the job. There is further evidence that the
rebel troops are not properly differed, for
the reason that the press dispatches state that
the detachment which committed this breach

talnly indicates laxity of dicipline when a de-

Is possible. No sympathy will go out to the
rebel cause through any such tactics
Further, several insurrecto bullets are said

home. This will give Uncle Sam an oppor.

ORDER A GOOD ONE.

Chief of Police Smith has issued an order
nstructng vehicles of every kind and descrp
ton to move from the curb upon the approach
Of the sprinlzlng wagon which will commence
operations very shortly This order is a good
one and one that should meet with the approval
of every citizen of Tonopah. And one that
should have the attention and respect of every
driver of express wagon, automobile or vehicle
of any kind. The streets are to be sprinkled
Tor the benefit of the entire public and all
should lend every aid possible towards the thor
oughness of the job. With wagons ranged along
the curbing of Main street it would be utterly
impossible for the sprinkler to properly settle
the dust which is bound to collect along the
edges. Chief Smith ayers that any who fail to
obey his instructions will feel the mailed fist
of the law and probably be ordered to keep
off the street entirely. This action would prove
most fitting and meet with the approval of all.

old Spanish girl of whom he was
insanely jealous was playing pi-

THE HALIFAX PROPERTY.

AS stated in the Bonanza of yesterday, Nal
colin Il. Macdonald is now enroute to Tonopah,
and upon his arrival the Halifax Mining com
pany-noW reorganized-will once more be put
IN operation. With f. NJ (f'Borax'') Smith
holding the balance of power under the new
regime there is every possibility that work will
be commenced on no mean scale. There is but
little doubt in the minds Of those on the inside
but that the Halifax holdings will eventually
prove most valuable producers. With a con-
tlnuatlon OF the great Belmont vein running
directly through the property great things are
expected from the Halifax.
However, whether the mine should prove up
to the expectations Of the stockholders or not,
Tonopah will nevertheless reap rich harvest
from the fact that every effort will be put
forth towards making the hoped-for strike The
resumation of operations on this property will
mean considerable addition to the force of
miners now employed in Tonopah The present
single shaft will be enlarged to three compart-
ments. New machinery will doubtless be in
stalled and large force of miners put to work
as soon as the enlarged shaft is completed. Tono-
pah welcomes with open arms the new mining
enterprise.

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7

One must be educated, no doubt, to

Go to the concerts where you know
that the music is good, and that you
ought to like it whether you do or not.
Take a music bath once or twice a
week for few seasons, and you will
find that 1t is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. wouldn't

in that condition all assurances as to the
safety of the dam had wholly disappeared.
The pond above the dam was again filled
with water and the sole concern of those
in charge seems to have been to stop the
leaks, utterly oblivious to the fact that

From the Engineering News

From the Engineering News.
The terrible disaster which destroyed
the village of Austin. Pa, last Saturday
with loss of 300 or more lives, is a shock
to the engineering profession hardly less
appalling than that experienced when the
Quebec bridge fell -four years ago
So far as the newspaper reports have in
formed the world. the structure was de-
signed and built under direction of IL COM
petcnt engineer of good reputation. The
structure fails suddenly with great loss of
LIE, and The public jumps To the conclu-
sion that no engineer is reliable, and that
no dam Is safe.
We wish. first of all, to combat this
idea Most c.lpilatically do we declare
that it is within the resources of engineer
ing to so build such a dam as that ut Aus
tin that it shall he safe and secure. 1t
is not our prcy.nce to ,ift and apporiion
tie responsibility for this sad calamity.
II IS our duty TO say that the occurrence
is without excuse: and that If the dam
had been built with proper precautions
and proper resaid for safety the failure
would never lave occurred. There Is no
mystery in tho art of dam construction
and no problems in their design which
competent engineers are not capable OF
solving with accuracy aud reliability.
But, ii may be said, why then do dams
and bridges and other engineering struc-
lures fail, even when engineers of good
reputation are employed in their design?
We can answer this question in a word.
These disasters occur because too fire.
,sql,ently those who build these structures
buy Just as little engineering and just as
cheaply rs they possibly can.
They do not quite dare TO 80 ahead with
an important structure without some sor,
of engineering advice: but they get along
