MAY LOSE mint
AT Carson CITY

The general supply bill for the
legislative, judicial and executive de-
partments of the government reported
to the house Tuesday provides for the
abolition of the assay offices at Salt
Lake, Boise, Helean, Seattle and Dead
wood. N oreason is given in the re-
port of the committee on appropria-
tions for such action, but it is under
stood that it was done upon the recon-
mendation of the secretary of the
treasury.
1t is further proposed to abolish the
mints at San Francisco, New Orleans
and Carson City, New. San Francisco
would get an assay Office in lieu of its
mint.
By failing to report an appropria-
tion for the recently created commerce
court, the committee ON appropriations
sought to abolish that tribunal. July
is fixed for the end of the commerce
court, whose jurisdiction would be re-
invested in the other United States
courts.
The bill proposes reduction of the
salary of the secretary to the presi-
dent from $500 to $4,000, the old
figures, and the abolition by the de-
partment of commerce and labor of the
bureaus of manufactures and statistics.
Specific injunction against the ex-
penditure of public money for tele-
prones in private residences is incor-
porated in the bill.
The bill carries $33 3,519, ,194, appoxi-
mately $2,640,000 less than for the
current year. Salary provisions for
1887 officials and employees show
reduction of 400 names on the payroll.
The Democrats cut $92,280 from the
salaries paid to employees in the house
wing of the capitol.
The biil restricts the number of
United States circuit judges to twen-
ty-nine, and provides that no more
appointments of that class shall be
made until the number of judges is re-
duced below that number.
The various departments submitted
estimates for $2,165,000 more than
Chairman Ftzgerald's committee pro-
vided.
The Republican members of the ap-
preparation committee fled a minority
report urging the retention of the
commerce court and the BUREAUS OF
statistics and manufactures and the
salary of the secretary to the presi-
dent.

EDISON INvENTS CHEAP
METHOD FOR HANDLING ORES

Thomas A. Edison has accomplished
the crowning triumph of his career.
He has perfected method of separat-
ing tn epaying elements of ores that
will mean gain of 100000 year in
the productive wealth of the country.
The investor is not at this time pre-
pared to give out details of his new
method, but it is learned that q plant
that required $250,000 a year to ope-
rate can be carried on by the new
Edison method for $4,000.
The general effect of this method is
to do away with the term low
grade" ore. With this system valuable
elements can be extracted from all
ore. Tn emachinery he has created
is so simple that child could operate

NO MORE WOODEN COACHES
FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-The
Southern Pacific company has entered
upon vigorous campaign for increas-
ing the safety of its passengers and
its employees. Orders have gone out
that no more wooden coaches shall be
constructed. Special side levers
have been provided for the uncoupl-
ing of ears, so that any two cars may
be disconnected without the brake
man getting between and endangering
his life. All of the cars are now
qupped with automatic couplers so
that it is not necessary for the brake
man to be even near the cars, the i'm
pact causing them to couple.
Meetings are held regularly at all
important points between the en-
ployes and officials, and new methods
of operation that provide for the
safety of the trainmen and passengers
are discussed. Additional block signals
are being installed all the time and
accidents on the railroad will soon be
rarity. Many other safety devices
that will benefit both the passenger
and the employe are being investigat-
ed and installed if found feasible

Wild WEST SHOW
!, GIVES Fine PARADE

Miller Bros. and Edward Arlington g
101 Ranch Real Wild West Show was
late in arriving this morning, pulling
up to the show grounds near the South
ern Pacific corrals at about O'Clock
Practically the entire Indian popula-
tion of this part of the state was on
hand to greet the aggregation, having
been gathering here for that purpose
for the past several days.
At about 1890 o'clock the parade
started from the show grounds, pass
ing down Baud to Second street,
swinging around into Bridge and back
to Railroad. Although the show car
ries no menagerie, it was one Of the
longest parades ever seen in Winnie
mucca AS the head of the procession
reached Railroad street, on the return
trip, the caliope was crossing Fourth
street, at Baud. The features of the
parade were several bands, including
Indian tom-tom and drums and the
bagpipes of the Scottish Highlands
An old-fashioned stage coach, drawn
by four mules, was closely followed by
as bloodthirsty looking band of In
dians as ever lifted scalp, while on a
float were standing several head Of
buffaloes, very rarely seen nowadays
in the land where a comparatively
short time ago they roamed in herds
of thousands. A procession of mounted
squaws was lead by a lady sitting
astride of long-horned teer, the in
evitable ealiope bringing up the rear.
Bridge street was thronged with the
largest crowd seen here since circus
day last year, and indications are that
the show will perform to good houses
both afternoon and evening.

One Of the most startling changes
eyre seen in any man, according to
