RICH GOLD STRIKE is
MADE NEAR LAS VEGAS

One of the biggest little gold ex-
citcments that has stirred the wonder
full mineral state Of Nevada in recent
years occurred three weeks ago around
an old Frenchman 5 mine owned by
the south Nevada Gold Mining com
pany, situated une miles east of Las
Vegas, in Lincoln county, says the Salt
Lake Herald Rcpul lican. 4 mild rush
which followed the first announcement
of the discovery of almost pure gold
had Just begun when the excitement
was nipped in the bud by strong count
er stories declaring that it was all a
hoax.
Mike Mahoney, one of the best
known o,d prospeetors and mining men
IN the west. came in from Las Vegas
Sunday. When seen at the Cullen ho-
tel he declared that from everything
that he could learn the strike was Just
as big as first reported, and that the
counter reports were put out by agents
of intending buyers who had been re
f"sed admission to the mine. Mr.
Mahoney is man who is absolutely
reliable and as fine fellow as ever
swung "A pick. He has had world
of experience in mining. He says he
mtt Mr. Watelet. the Frenchman who
With Oakland associates has been
working the mine for the past seven
years, and was cordially invited to in
sDect the strike. Mr.. Mahoney was
unahle TO accept the offer this time,

probably next month. However, he
tfl'od to several reliable men who in
spected the fnd, all declaring first re
p correct.
The property has been developed
lv a 1000 foot tunnel, giving a verti
cal crpth of $50 feet. From the floor
n w'nze has been sunk 800 feet At
the bottom of this winze drift was
seIt out when the rich stuff was struck.
Almost pure gold was found scattered
through a body of $40 ore twelve feet
wide. The rich streak comes in and
P"es out The Importance Of discov-
ering such rich stuff at depth of
more than 1000 feet from the surface
can be appreciated by practical min
'rg men. The other workings have
demonstrated great tonnage of ex.

than $l,000,000 already blocked out

$35O,000 from the agent of Nevada
millionaire has been refused.

PROPERTY AT FAIRVIEW
SAID TO HAVE RICH ORE

For some time there have been ru-
mors floating about that big strike
has been made in the Golden Boulder
claims at Fairview, but no confrma-
tion of the report could be had. Jake
Jones, proprietor of a saloon at Fair
view, was said to know all about the
strike, and to be quietly buying up all
the Golden Boulder stock to be picked
up at low prices.
When asked about the rumor Mr..
Jones denied any knowledge of a
strike and explained that he had
merely called the bluff of man who
was sour on the camp and offered a
bunch of stock in the Golden Boulder
at a ridieulously low price.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Jones' denial
of any knowledge of a rich strike, the
rumor is persistent, and keeps getting
stronger. 1t is now stated that
though Mr.. Stacy, who has lease on
the Golden Boulder refuses to admit
that he has made a strike a lot of ore
has already been sacked and shipped
by fast freight. The ore is said to be
fabulously rich in free gold the values
running into the thousands of dollars.

MAY VOTE ON GAM
BLING QUESTION

movement is on foot in this city
to attempt 70 nave legitimate gambling
restored. The plan would have sue
ceeded, or at least been tried, accord
ing to hints thrown out by local gam
blers, if the messages sent to the spec
ial session of the legislature had per-
mitted the introduction of certain bills
that had been prepared and for which
lobbyists were in readiness to clear the
decks for action.
The system now to be employed is
the referendum, which by constitutions
al amendment is now the right of the
voters.
A number of petitions have been
prepared and will be in circulation
within a few days to have the matter
of the discnactment of the anti gam
bling law referred to the voters of Ne
vada at the next election.
In order to have the matter appear
upon the ballot it will be necessary to
have the signatures of 10 per cent of
the qualified voters of the state on the
petitions.
They will be circulated simultane-
ously in Reno and in a number of other
eNvada towns The aggregation back
of the movement numbers the former
gamekeepers of the state and their
business associates.-Reno Gazette.

A Washington special says that the
names of the super r-Dreadnaughts Ok
lahoma and Nevada, for the construc-
tion of which contracts recently were
let by the navy department, made
their first appearance on the monthly

rapidly nearing completion. The re-
port shows that on March the Wyom-
ing was 900 per cent completed. The
New York and Texas were respective

|SU|T TO DISSOLVE
RAILROAD MERGER

The government s fight to split the
merger of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific systems opened Tuesday in
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Attorney General Wikersham
and his special assistants, Frank b.
Kellogg and Cordenio A. Severance,
filed comprehensive brief of their ar
gument to be made orally in court
shortly after April 1st.
In addition to the brief of argu-
ments, a second brief of 600 pages was
required to set forth the "facts'' in
the case. The Court was told in the
second brief that the railway combina-
tion now sought to be dissolved origi-
mated with Edward H. Hartman, Jacob
H. Schiff and associates. It brought
under a common control, the govern
ment states, the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific, the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake, with various
ocean steamship lines, among which
was the Pacific Mail Steamship CON-
pany, which forms part of the Pana-
ma route from New York to San Fran.
cisco. In addition it secured an influ-
ential voice in the management Of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
way.
The government criticised severely
the Circuit Court of Appeals Of the
ninth circuit which dismissed the peti-
tion for dissolution Of the merger.
Judge Hook alone dissented.
Cover Same Territory.
The brief declares the government
cannot understand how the court be-
low got the impression the government
did not claim that the Union Pacific
was competitor Of the Southern Pa
cific for any business originating near
er than 1000 miles or more away from
its lines.
"This statement is contrary to the
claim in the petition and in argument, =
says the brief, ssand is contrary to
the evidence of scores Of witnesses. -
The decision is attacked because the
Court held the Union Pacific could not
be competitor of the Southern Pacific
by reason of the fact that it's traffic
mover to Californa points over the
Southern Pacific from Ogden.
t'Is it possiplea' asks the brief,
that the Union Pacific with its thous-
ands of miles of railway and steamship
lines reaching from the Missouri river
to Portland and San Francisco, has no
appreeiable effect ON commerce in it's
competition with another complete sys-
tenn reaching the same general tern.
tory9o
The government declares that the
trial court was wrong in holding two
railroads could not be competitors un-
less the competitive business could
be handled by them wholly over
their own rails. Instead of there
being no impairment of service, the
government asserts that the merger
resulted in gross increase of rates, pre-
vention of construction of new lines
into competitive territory and "sen-
sible deterioration of service.
The government attorneys contend

CENTRAL BANK WOULD
PREVENT SPREAD OF PANIC

In the current number of the Inde-
pendent former United States Senator
Aldrich chairman of the monetary
commission, points out the saving func-
tions of a central bank in confining
the consequences of great failures to
those who are Immediately concerned
and in preventing the spread of panic.
He says that credit is based on con-
fidence, which rests on belief in the
stability of our financial institutions
Tn the loss of that confidence was the
panic of 1907 brought about. the dis
astrous consequences of which can
never be measured and from which the
country has not yet fully recovered.
All of this he charges up against the
antiquated monetary system of this
country, out of touch with the fnan-
cial systems of other countries. He
cites the great Baring failure, the con
sequences of which. through the
prompt use of the power vested in the
hands of the Bank of England. wer
confined to the Barring house and tc
their immediate associates, a general
panic being prevented.
All of this is the truth. And the fact
that it is asserted by Mr.. Aldrich in
advocacy of the proposition to estab-
lish national reserve association,
which is but another name for a cen
trail bank, does not initiate against
the truth. Our present system is
antiquated and insufficient. We do
not appreciate this when the sun of
prosperity shines, but let the adverse
winds blow and we are in immediate
danger of a disastrous panic. Mr..
Aldrich correctly estimates condi-
tions and liabilities, and points out
the one safe course for the country
to take.--Brooklyn Eagle.
