RHYOL|TE HERALD TO
SUSPEND PUBLICATION

In short time the Rhyolite
Herald. the one remaining news
paper in the Bullfrog district,
will suspend publication and Pub
Usher Clemens will move to Cali
fornia. The passing of the Herald
marks the conclusion of the last
vestige of hope for the once thriv-
ing mining town. Only few
saloons and stores and a handful of
people remain, where three and
four years ago the active business
establishments covered a frontage
of perhaps more than two miles
and the total volume of business
was enormous.
The scene now is pathetic.
Several fine business blocks costing
thousands of dollars to construct,
are practically unoccupied and
hundreds Of substantial but less
pretentious buildings are deserted.
And many of the smaller buildings
have been dem ,Iished for firewood
this winter. The magnificent
depot Of the Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad stands like monument
owe :loo eng graveyard of blast ed
hopes. The Bullfrog district is
dead unless, per chance some day
other Outrageous souls shall open

wealth. Las Vegas Review.

4 BAD RUNAWAY

William Stinson and John Butler
came very near being killed Thurs.
day evening just after Nos had
pulled out. They came down the
street on the north side of the
track in the beer wagon with the
team on the run and attempted to
Cross the railroad track ahead of
the speeder that followed the train.
They beat the speeder to the cross
ing and passed over the main track
all right but the front off wheel of
the wagon missed the crossing and
stru * che heavy rails of the side
track. The team was running and
the jolting of the wagon, as the
wheels struck the heavy rails,
threw them from the high seat and
they struck playground with fear
full force. Both We're knocked
senseless. Stinson's head struck
the hub of one of the wheels and
was badly bruised. Butler csc ape d
with less injury. ~
The crowd at the depot rushed
to their assistance and did all
possible for Them After short
time Butler regained consciousness
but Stinson did not revive for
some time. He was finlly carried to
the express Office and laid en- a
truck. DR.. Mcdowell went to his
assistance and did everything
possible for him. He finally reviI ed
and was taken to his home.
The team ran up the street
crossed the railroad and brought
up agains, the big tree in front of
the Pioneer saloon. The horses
were uninjured, but the wagon
was slightly damaged.
In conversation with John But
tier at noon. we learned that the
team became frightened at the
speeder and was running away as
it ca me dc wn the street. We also
learned from him that Mr.. Stinscn
recovered consciousness between 2
and B o'clock this morning. He
w S doing as well as could be
expected this afternoon. No
serious results are expected from
his injuries.
1t is almost miracle that both
were not Killed. AS it is, they are
badly bruised and shaken up.

MOVING JUNK TO UNIVERSITY

Senate Bill No. LAP, which passed
the legislature and has been
approved by the Governor provides
for the moving of the mineral
cabinets from the halls of the
Capitol Building to the State Uni
versity, presumably to the School
Of Mines.
This is good move. There is
the greatest conglomcration of
specimens that was ever collected.
At one time this was conceded to
be the finest cabinet of specimens
in the west. Thousands of excel
lent and valuable specimens were
collected and labeled. They are
from every nook and corner in
Nevada and many were loaned
from time to time to exhibits at
the big fairs. The labels were
rubbed off. The best specimens
we're stolen and by the time they
were returned to this city they
were not recognized. At the
present time there are several
tons of all classes of ores, good
bad and Indifferent. A few han l.
some specimens remain and they
will probably fad a resting place
at Reno.
Had there been n proper
custodian for this collection twenty
years ago the state could have pre-
scnted the students at the mine
college something worth while.
AS 1t is there ia a lot of junk to be
moved to Reno and the State
building is well rid Of the wrecked
collection.-Appeal. |

HONORING THE HEROES

says: Fifty years after the opening
Of the great struggle between south

Hill Camp Of Confederate Veterans
VI Petersburg, Va, has given to
Massachusetts, a lot of ground near
that city for the erection of
monument to the Massachusetts

entertained in Springfield last
summer by f. X. Wilcox Post, G..
A. r. The site for the memorial

miles from Petersburg. Crater
farm is so called because of the
crater-shaped opening made when
the men of the Forty-eight
Pennsylvania regiment tunnelled
from the Union picket in lire under
the Confederate Qualifications and
blew up portion Of them. A
large number of Confederate
soldiers were buried alive when
the explosion occurred and their

MEX|CO'S WEALTH
STILL IN GROUND

In it's $4,000 square miles
Mexico contains more mines and
richer ones than can be cited in
any other similar area in the
world, writes E. W. Lithtner in
the Pittsburg Dispatch. That they
were not long ago more thoroughly
develop ed is due to the almost con-
slant turmoil of the centuries and
which has more nearly ceased
under the Influence and rule of
President Diaz than ever before in
all its history. What effect the
present troubles will have on in
vcstment and development remains
to be known, but they cannot fail
to have undermined to some extent
confidence which has developed the
country which fore ign capital, the
estimate of the value of United
States investment alone being
81, 500. 200, 900.
:. In 1899 there had been developed
256 silver mines, I'll of silver and
lead, ia Of silver and other metals
81 of copper and some for the min
ing of more or less precious
stones.
or course the story of the
precious metals in Mexico is full
of romance. as it has been at all
times and everywhere in other
countries. When Ferdinand
COrtes sailed into port at Vera
Cruz, about 400 years ago, he was
met in a friendly way ny the
Aztecs, who brought him finely
wrought presents of gold and
silver. According to Bernard
Diaz del Castillo, who appears to
have been the press agent of the
excursion, the native had az their
principal amusement the making
Of art objects Of gold and silver.
They presented to Cortes great
wheels of gold like the sun, wheels
of silver like the moon, all sorts of
animals worked in gold and silver,
and "crisp grains Of gold as they
were drawn out of the mines"
which, as Castillo naively says,
"were esteemed by US more than if
they had been worth 300, 900 pesos,
for by 1t we knew there we're good
gold mines there" In 1927 the
Spanish emperor forbid the art
work Of tn Aztecs, and one of the
priests in Mexico said Of the
order: This barbarous provi-
dence' set an end TO those gold
smiths who cast at one stroke
fish with one scale of gold and
another of silver.
Inc opaniards began to exploit
the mines and the Indians to con-
ceal them, and 1t is asserted that
some Of the richest of the M exicsn
mines worked by the Indians have
never been rediscovered. Spanish
grandecs grew enormously wealthy
through the setting Of silver and
gold and built mansions equal to
some Of the royal palaces.
1t was not nutil the beginning Of
the period of independence, the
centenary Of which was celebrated
last fall, that anything like
scientific mining was thought of,
