REGULATING JURY FEES

Chapter CCXXIV of the Statutes

Session of the Legislature thereof
and approved March 25, 1909, relat-
ing to the fees and compensation of
jurors in the courts and other tribu-

so as to read as follows.
Section nine of said Act is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:
Each person summoned to attend as
a Juror before any court Or tribunal
of this State Tin counties polling
over 425 yotes), unless he be ex-
cused at his own request on the day
specified in the summons for him to
attend, shall receive and be paid out

per day for each day he may be in
attendance, and fifteen cents per
mile actually and necessarily travel
ed in going to and returning from

.CODE Of ETHICS
IN JOUR NAL|SM
LITTLE VIOLATION OF PROFESS
SIGNAL PLEDGE BY THE MEN
WHO TELL THE NEWS OF THE
WORLD.

We hear more or less of the code
of ethics of the medical profession;
of that of the lawyers-and of that
of other and widely diverse profess
sions. But little do W hear of that
of the newspaper man-whieh meets
the test of almost daily trial, and mas
been but infrequently violated in all
the history of American journalism.
The President of the United States
writes his message 10 Congress
weeks ahead of its submission to
that body. Always does he give a
COPY of il to the Associated Press,
under pledge of secrecy until 1t has
been read in Congress The Associ-
ated Press prints copies of the mes
sage and mails them to its severai
thousand members all owe the u
try with the stipulation that not a
word of ii is TO be made public until
permission is given to do so. When
the message is read before the two
houses of the national legislature
this permission Is ~telegraphed. But
until that moment. however great
the temptation TO scoop" a hated
rival. no editor out of the thousands
concerned, has made public a line of
the document. And this same
course is followed with regard 70 all
important state papers.
In many cases have the news
paper men been favored with ad-
vence tips as to decisions on i'm
portant cases in court. Ever the
verdicts of that most august of all
judicial tribunals-the United States
Supreme Court-have been known
in advance by the newspaper men,
under the professional pledge OF
secrecy. And as to the lower courts
of our country, the newspaper mans
code is almost daily tested.
1t is the common daily experience
of the reporter to get a story with
the condition imposed that certain
names are not to be used. Did the
reader ever hear of this promise be-
ing violated? And hardly a day
passes, in the grind of a daily news
paper, that what would have been a
big feature of the local news col
umns has been omitted because of
the newspaper mans code.
The writer spent his prentice days
with Henry w. Moore, of the St.
Louis Post-Dispateh, the brightest
and ablest managing editor the coun-
try ever knew. One day We came in
to the local room of the office with
a rafting news story-a sensation,
in fact. wei feature it for the
front page said Moore. But the
reporter informed him that he had
promised the story should not be
used for twenty-four hours. You
should not have promised it in this
case, and you must go at once and
be released from the pledge" The
reporters informant, however,
would not release him. So the story
went over until the next day at the
risk of the morning papers printing
1t frst-but Moore would not break
the pledge given by one of the staff,
taking it, and very properly, too,
that the reporters pledge bound the
paper. He sought no ~easuistieal ex-
cuse to break the promise.
A code of ethics like that of jour
nalism, which meets the most strin-
gent tests every day, without viola
ton, must be something more than
a mere Pigment of the imagination.

SOME REMINDERS OF
EARLY CAMP DAYS
MAPS OF ELY MINING DISTRICT
AND VIRGINIA CITY IN 1872
AND 1879 SECURED BY STATE
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The Nevada Historical society
yesterday came into possession of
two fine old relics of the early days
in this state. One is a mining map
of Ely district published in 1872.
Above the map is a picture of Phoebe
as it looked at that time.
The other item is the official map
of Virginia City in 1876. 1t is a
large map some two feet and a half
by six feet and shows the location
of all the important mines, as well
as the streets. squares. and blocks
and alleys of the town.
The affidavit of the county clerk
reads. Said city was duly i%neorpor-
ated in the year 1861. The greater
portion of lots plated in said map
have been improved and buildings
of a substantial character erected
thereon, that the location of such
site is exclusively a mineral region"
Also at the top of the map Is the
following:
Henry ID. Smith and John Piper,
being first duly sworn, deposes and
each for himself says that he is a
resident for the four years last past.
that said city is founded in good
faith and not for speculative pur-
poses. that there are about four
thousand inhabitants therein, that
this application is made by author
ity and direction of the mayor and
board of aldermen of said city to
secure the benefits of the laws of
congress respecting the location of
town sites upon the public lands.

MILLIONAIRES WILL MAKE
EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENTS
IN NEW CAMP THIS SPRING.

There Is a spirit of buoyancy and
push about the average Nationalite
these days that is refreshing and full
of significance. And from whence
cometh this fine feeling, this cheer
thai signifies such kood times, such
fine opportunity and of such fullness
for those who tore the test and are
now on that edge that will bring the
results, asks the National Miner.
First, in the Kansas City GROVE up
Three-mile. then the Indian National
combination, following with Schloss
into Mayfiower and on Buckskin, and
Phil Blume acquiring Auto Hill, and
now comes to the front the organiza-
ton of the National Consolidated
Mines Co, taking over and operating
that group of claims paralleling for
the full length on the west the most
rich territory of the National Mines
Co., with its $3.50, 900 monthly pro-
duction. This sensational matter is
only in its infancy and is but a part
of that gold-laden mountain and in
whose area the National Defiance,
Shiloh and the National Consolidated
Mines companies have such evidence
of wealth which is casting its shadow
ahead, tending like the National
Mines treasure vault. While this
great richness has its demonstration
the time is but short when the other
companies within that enforcement
will also announce another bonanza
producer. The country rock, vein
filling, crystallized quartz and pro
portionate gold and silver values r
similar.

Co. is duly organized with capitali-
zation of 1000. 600 shares, par

tors are three Coast millionaire

operator of mines. owner of extern
sive realty and railroad holdings and
identified with those industrial and
agricultural interests of the Coast
that gives such prosperity and
strength to the upbuilding feature of
the far prosperous West.
Mr.. Waechter will in the near flu
ture come to National to inspect his
holdings and contribute such advice
as only the practical mine operator
with his success Is capable of be-
slowing. The controlling factors of
this company in a financial sense are
so strong as to justify the statement
of being capable of telescope all
these mountains in the demonstra-
ton of their purpose.
The direct operations of this COM
pany are under the management of

Editor Tensas Gazette:
Il is with great pleasure that we
can now report TO the travelling pub
JIG in general and the Gazette in
particular, that the depot at New
elton, which was destroyed by fire
some time ago, has been replaced
by 8 handsome and up-to-date
structure,
The new structure is complete in
every detail and the rail road COM
pany has not spared expense. The
building is q two-story structure,
the second floor having four rooms,
which are intended for the living
apartments Of the agent and family.
These rooms are finished in natural
wood and vanished, each having
a closet built in the wall. The room
which is intended for the kitchen is
provided with several cabinets, one
for dishes, one for linen, and the
other Tor groceries, etc. The lower
floor consists of two nice waiting
rooms, Office, express and freight
rooms. We are also having a plat
form built which viii extend in
front Of and at both ends of the
depot, which will, when completed,
give Newellton one of if not the
most complete depots on the NJ,
H. & L. Railroad. It is very graf
flying to know that the railroad
company has after each fire given
US better and more modern struct-
ure.

OF safe chimneys and flues. In many

examine all chimneys and: fiues in

Every precaution should be taken

this week as they were considered
a menace TO life and property. The
