PEELED to pay their hired men, with
out board. $46.4s: and with board.
$S4.50.

farmers paid an average s1.S2 per
day. without boarding their help;
with board, an average of $3.50. The
western farmers paid S2.52 per day
without board, and s1.s6 with
board.
In 1890, according &c the Depart
ment, the average salary per month,

IS MOST PLEASED WITH SELF.

Upwards of a column of good. white paper
is wasted in Tuesday evenings edition of the
Reno Gazette, telling How the Gazette scored
the beat of the century. Sounds fine when one
reads that caption. And to tell the truth the
Gazette is most successful in patting itself on
the back AS booster for its own game it has
Bat Nelson and Tex Richard beat to a FRAGILE
However, the article overlooks one point it fails
to mention how it failed" to score a beat, how
1t failed to have representatives present, in fact
how it failed to publish authentic" news of the
fearful disaster in the Belmont mine last Thurs
day.
Last Friday, the day following the disaster.
the Gazette wired newspaper man in Tonopah.

he would do in 1000 words He was advised
that 800 was all that could be used. and while
preparing the matter-in ample time for the Ga

NEW EXPERIENCE.

Search all the annals of mine disasters in
the United States and it is impossible to find one
that will parallel that at the East Belmont shaft
OF the Tonopah- Belmont Development company 5
workings on the morning Of February 23d Wise
old heads, with years of experience whose bust
ness makes them keep the coest track Of such
occurrences agreed in this matter and ire
generous enough to relieve everyone of any real
responsibility for the fearful holocaust whial
east blight and gloom over the entire state of
Nevada.
One of them said yesterdays ct was not ii
matter OF careessness Of willful neglect on
the part OF anyone, it merely matter IF
ignorance, due solely to inexperience
While all of the officials of the Belmont
were old heads IN the mining profession and all
knew the necessary actions in case of ordinary
circumstances, this was a most extraordinary
circumstance 1t was an occurrence that was
unusual to all of them, an occurrence the like
OF which none of them had witnessed be-
fore They were all at sea, they knew not what
action to take.
Never before in this country, at least, has
an accident of similar nature occurred and
even had such been the case it would have
been most unlikely that any Of the representa-
tives of the Belmont company would have been
conversant with its details. They all found
themselves in the position of a man with a new
experience. And, although the result of that ex-
perence has been most costly i'll its death toll
nevertheless it is almost impossblity to lay
the blame at the door Of any man or men.
THAT none knew the extent of the possible
danger goes without saying That all lives might
have been saved had the men in charge had the
experience necessary also seems certainty
However, they had never before gone through
such an ordeal. They had never before received
the bitter experience and hence knew not what
action to pursue.
The entire affair is most sad one The
loss OF life is most regretabe, but it appears
as though it is natures pound of flesh eXacted
toll for experience
Upon the recurrence of like disaster
which, God forbid, is possible, these men. who
have already shown heroism that cannot posi-
bly, be doubted, would come through with clean
States with records that would spell in capital
letters the word glory Hence it is uniting
that they should be blamed for this accident
over which they had no control and against
which they had not had sufficient experience to
battle
The above quoted matter is the opinion Of
one who should be well posted, and the Bonanza
is inclined to take this opinion at it's face value
and subscribe to it's tenets; however, the mat
ter is at the present time in the hands of men
competent to Judge, and it is to be trusted that
their experience" in investigating will be su-
keeping was the lives of the large staff of the
Belmont company, in fighting holocaust
Seventeen brave men have paid the price FOR
experience, and it is to be hoped that hundreds
will receive the benefit. The price exacted by
an All-Seeing Providence is usurious, but If is
meet that we should bow to His dictates.

DIVORCE AND UNIVERSITY.

slrous OF berating themselves from the strings

This is all well and good, provided the leg
lslature and the city of Reno are not ashamed
of Haunting before the world the fact that this
state is the center of gravity for putrid morals
But, 1t would be most advisable that the legis-
lature refrain from making any appropriation

naturally be most low. While legislatures AID
cities cannot see the effect of maintaining in
Reno hot bed of immortality will have upon. the

NEW RAILROAD TIE.

John w. Clark, Jr., Utah boy,
has invented a tie which he declares
will mean much to the railroad
world. Mr.. Clark claims for his
tie that it will save the amount
of timber that has to be used, that
the same timber can be used a
number of times, that in case of
the rotting of part of the tie
it can be removed and a new piece
put in without disturbing the road
bed, that it is practically impossi-
BILE for the track to spread where
this tie is used. The tie is a metal
one with openings at each end for
the insertion of square block of
wood, to which the rail is spiked
A company has been organized and
a practical test of the new tie will
be made in the near future.
