nothing. He then asked for the re-
turn Of the $1,000 but was refused

Several weeks ago, Mgr. Hum

lOWeIS OI Jesus
only such things as in Gods sight
would not be binding. In those twelve
men, therefore, we recognize a pie
nary inspiration, or special guidance
not accorded in this particular degree
to others of the brethren"
Surely there is no intimation in the
New Testament that as one after an
other of the Apostles died other men
were recognized as succeeding them.
On the contrary, the Scriptures re-
ties Of the Lamb" Moreover, as the
Jewish Dispensation began at the
death Of Jacob, in the recognition of
his twelve sons, so the Christian Dis
pensation began at the death of Jesus,
in the recognition Of His twelve Apos-
ties. And as one Of the tribes of Is
rael was cut off, and is not mentioned
in the enumeration in the Apocalypse,
but the tribe Of Ma nasseh substituted,
so amongst Jesus Apostles Judas is
dropped and a successor is appointed.
st. Paul to Succeed Judas.
In the past we may have read too
carelessly the account of how the elev-
en- faithful Apostles exceeded their au-
thority in the selection of Matthias to
take the place of Judas. They should
have remembered that the Master spe-
cifcally told them to do nothing until
afterreceiving the heavenly benediction.
Accrediting them with the very best
of heart intentions, 1t was, neverthe-
less, effrontery on their part to select
two names and to determine that one
or the other must be the successor Of
Judas. They had no authority for so
doing. AS for the one upon whom the
lot fell, Matthias, we hear nothing fur
Their Of him. In Gods due time, He
Himself brought forth Saul of Tarsus
st. Paul tells us that he found evil
dences that God had chosen him for a
special service from his mothers
womb. And such special preparation
and supervision we doubt not was ap-
plicable to all of The Twelve.
"A Crown of Twelve Stars"
The Lords specialization of the
twelve Apostles is variOusly referred
to. He said, "Have not l chosen you
twelve" And again, Eye shall sit on
twelve thrones" In the symbolical
book Of Revelation He pictures the
Church as a a00mGn clothed with sun
light, standing over or near to the
moon, which symbolizes the Jewish
Law Covenant; and upon her head
was a crown of twelve stars, repre-
senting the twelve Apostles of the
Lamb.
Again, later on in the same book, we
find pictured the Church in glory be-
yond the veil, the Bride-the New Je-
rusalem. Of this City we read that it
had twelve foundations, and in the
twelve foundations the names of the
twelve Apostles.
The recognition Of successors to the
Apostles was one of the first errors

Later great Church Councils were call
ed in which these bishops, as claimed
successors to the Apostles decided
what should and what should not be
believed by the Church, what was and
what was not orthodox.
1t can be readily seen that this exal-
tation of false apostles Revelation ii,
p, contrary to the Divine arrange
ment, opened a food-gate of error,
however well intentioned all concerned
may have been 1t is surprising that
so many still hold to the creeds thus
formulated by pseudo-apostles. The
need of the hour is a recognition Of
these facts and an abandonment of all
those creeds and return to the words
of Jesus and the Apostles and the
Prophets. Only thus can we extricate
ourselves from the multiplied errors
represented in the six hundred divi-
sidons Of the church of Christ.

Golden Spike Was Hooked.

A forcibe reminder of railroad day,
Goldfeld's first notable celebration,
was received there this week upon
the arrival of the gold spike which
was used to mark the completion into
Goldtield of the Tonopah q Goldfeld
railroad arr which had a varied and
somewhat remarkable history before
being sent to Milton and Detch, to
whose care it had been intrusted by
E. O.. Paterson, receiver of the de-
funct Nye & Ormsby bank. The
spike is now on exhibition in the
window of the Tribune. 1t is made
of gold from the Red Top mine,
weighs eleven and four-fifths ounces
and is valued, by tests made at the
United States branch mint in Carson
City at S238 6o. Mr.. Detch made
the address of presentation when
the golden spike, of full size used on
standard gauge roads and of pure
gold, was given into the custody of
Alamo H. Tripp as general manager
of the railroad.
1t appears that Manager Trip
later found himself in need of funds
and checked" the spike to the Nye
& Ormsby County Bank for the sum
of $3.50. The spike has remained in
the hands of the receiver who desires
t, realize the amount due the bank
and in order to determine its exact
value had it tested at the mint.

A Check for $1,000

Mineral county is in receipt of a
check for 81, 900 from w. A. Ingalls,,
administrator of the estate of Wm.
Groginger, who died several years
ago. Mr.. Groginger left will in
which he bequeathed So, 900 to the
county hospital of Esmeralda county.
At that time the county hospital of
Esmeralda was in Hawthorne, but
before the funds were available, the
county hospital was in Goldfield.
Rather than incur the expense and
delay of law suit, our commission
ers wisely agreed to accept 81, 900 as
Minerals share of the bequeit.

The Fish Law.

Under the new compiled laws, sec

provides that it shall be unlawful for
any person to catch fish of any kind
within two hours after sun down or
one hour before sunrise on each and
every day during the open season for
fishing. A heavy fine and imprisop-
ment is provided for a violation of
this section, so it will be we'll for
those intending to go fishing not to
play the part OF the " early worm,
for it is he that always gets caught.

The Silver Cloud.

John W. Nixon is quite elated over
the prospect on the Silver Cloud
mine in Gilis Canyon. The lessees
expect to have carload ready for
shipment by the 1st on June. Con-
servative estimates put the value of
this ore at $3.50 per ton, while assays
made here of picked samples gave a
value of 81, 1856. The ledge varies
from 10 to IA inches in width and
shows every indication of perman-
ence.
