KELLIHER, ASSEMBLYMAN
FROM NYE CO., UNEARTHS
HUGE SCANDAL AT CARSON
Frank L. Wildes, Receiver of the State Bank &
Trust Company, in Limelight in
An Unsavory Manner.
Judge Langan of Carson District Court Under q
Cloud---May Be Recalled or Impeached.

There is bot time in the old
town tonight" down at Carson
City. Impeachment proceedings
are threatened against Judge Lang
gan and Kelliher of Nye county
declared on the assembly floor
1--WE will put the stripes on this
man Wildes."
II all arose over the discovery
that Frank l.. Wildes. receiver of
the State Bank and Trust Co. had
drawn salary as assistant State
Treasurer for 10 months after his
appointment as Bank receiver. Ii
is alleged that he drew salary for
both offices at the same time and
war has heen declared. 1t has been
put up to the attorney general to
determine the legal status of the
case and to commence civil OF
criminal proceedings, probably both,
as soon as the matter can be
tlreshed out.
The statement by MigheIs that
he kne" more about the case than
the others has not been received
with good grace. 1t is pointed out
that had Mighels knowledge of
any affairs of the receivership it
would have been his duty to com-
munica,e this information to the
committee of which he was a mem

conducting the investigation with

FORMER NEVADA BOY
DIES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Judge N. D. Arnot and Mrs
Arnot, of Reno, mourn the loss OF
their second son. Edwin Perc,
Arnot. who died Of typhoid fever
in South Africa.
The news was received by cable
Tuesday morning. the first intima
tion of Percy's illness having beer
received by wire. For more thar
eight years he had been employed
as chief surveyor of the Simmer
and Jack mine at Germiston about
twenty miles east of johannesburg
in the Transvaal. This is one of
the largest group of cyani de mines
in South Africa and Percy Arnot
held one of the most responsible
positions.
He was graduated from the
University of Nevada in 1902,
having taken the special course in
mining, and was employed by the
federal government for two years
before he went to the Dark Cont
nent. His last visit here was about
six years or seven years ago. and
Judge Arnot seemed to have a pre-
monition of the coming sorrow
for he said when his son left,
Percy my boy, will never see
you again."
Percy Arnot wrote home every
week and was one of the most de-
voted sons in the world. Every
one here admired and respected
Percy Arnot and the news uf his
death cast cloud over the COM
munity. J'dge Arnot cabled to
his correspondent at Germiston to
have his sons body cremated aaC
the ashes shipped here. The above
article is quoted from the Republi
can and Nugget published in Plac.
erville, the American home .ot
Percy Arnot. While in college
Percy Arnot was one of Nevada
most earnest and prominent stu.
dents.

posits at depth. will not go into
detail regarding the exposures Of
payable ore, but from recent ship
ments made and confirmed by our
sampling of the ore exposed the
shipping ore contains about S'4
per cent copper. 8 ounces silver.
26 per cent iron and 35 per cent
silica. THIS is a very desirable
smelling ore and will pay a good
profit.
In taking over this property
on the very favorable conditions
given We are in position to
thoroughly explore the ore bodies
before making the additional pay
ments other than those for which
we have ore in sight.
There fore before these pay
ments are made it is our purpose
to have ore in sight more than
necessary to co er the amount Of
same.
Work is already under way at
this property; shipment of ore
will be commenced at once and
energetic development will be push
Ell.
On account of our inability to
get satisfactory railroad rates on
ore from Ely to the Salt Lake valley
smetlers it was considered inadvis-
able to continue the DEVELOPMENT
of the ore bodies on our property
in that district under the existing
conditions. Theories we have exposed
ore Of to low grade to be marketed
at satisfactory profit. Arrange
ments have been made with a
neighboring company to keep our
mine unwatered for the use of the
water. We are therefore in
position to resume operations with
out any delay or expense as soon
as TRANSPORTATION rates and metal
market conditions are satisfactory.
Your board of directors and also
the stockholders who are familiar
with the circumstances and merits
of the Copper Queen group believe
that we have acquired a very val
liable asset in this property.
Negotiations are pending for the
acquisition of an option to purchase
adjoining territory, which it is our
purpose to ultimately acquire II
the development of this group
justifies our expectations.
Assessment No. 6, which was
levied November l has been COM
inR in very satisfactory manner
and the company is in good finan.
cial condition. The expenditures
in the future will not be able to do
much more work for less money, as
this new property Is dry and there
fore the high expenditures for
pumping water will be eliminated.

REPORT ON NEVADA SITE
FOR 1915 EXPOSITION

Report cf committee delegated
to select site for the State of
Nevada at exposition grounds at
San Deigo. California and as to
the making of an appropriation
by the legislature for the main
tainence of exhibits at expositions
to be held in San Deigo and San
Francisco, State Of California, in
the year 1915.
To the Honorable:
The members of the Senate of
the Nevada Legislature.
Gentlemen:
We. the undersigned. selected
committee. do recommend that
whatever appropriation may be
made by your honorable body, that
the same be equally divided between
the Observation-Disclosures
Exposition to be held in the city of
San Francisco. California and the
Panama-California Exposition, to
be held in San Diego, CAL. in the
year 1915.
After having inspected, unoffi-
cially, the Panama Pacific Inter-
national Exposition and compared
the same in as many of its features
as out limited time permitted, we
feel that the results produced for
the amount of money expended
will he as great in San Deigo as in
San Fran aisco on account of the
difference of the character of the
Exposition. San Deigo making a
specially of irrisgation, agricul-
ture, and horticulture processes
made along the above indicated
lines.
No doubt the various members
of your Honorable Body are more
familiar with the plans of the pro-
posed PanamH-Pacific Exposition
Than those Of the Panama-California
Exposition, and we therefore sub
nit few of the plans as outlined
by the last named Exposition. They
are as follows: The Exposition
grounds will cover an area of about
six hundred and fifteen (6l5)
acres. The general exhibits and
main buildings to cover about one
hundred Q00) acres: the states
and foreign countries about Q00)
acres; the counties in California
about twenty-five (25) acres; open
air exhibits one hunnred 100)
acres: landscape gardens and parks
two hundred and fifty (250) acres;
the amusement section known as
the "lshtmus" about twenty-five
acres, or about eight thousand (8,-
000) feet of space.
This committee has selected a
site for the State of Nevada that
adjoins those of New Mexico, Ariz-
ona, Colorado and Montana, subject
to the approval of your Honorable
Body and the Governor of the
State of Nevada.
In conclusion, this committee are
unanimous that whatever appro-
priation is made that it be equally
divided between these two Exposi-
tions.
Respectfully Submitted.

The army Of tho United states IS maintained principclly for defensive purposes. This country of ours never has been and never will be an aggrcs- s,vG nation 50 far as war Is concerned. We will do anything fin tho world with i:. reason to prevent hostiiitics with any other nation. It will almost take IL direct attack of tho most aggrevatcd kind to bring us to tho point where we will accept war. with nll "f It's horrors as the only possible solution " an international dif,iculty:
 therefore it wiI. he nothing sh.it "i iIyasion or the most "sagrant -insul, which wlil involve l,s in u fight for our national honor. or to preserve our national integrity:.>
 The regular forcc that the govern ncnt maintains is. even with our pol ley, about one-half too small in a'i arms. This Is especially tho casc with tho infantry. which when all is said and done. Is tho backbone of any land lighting force.
 The result of this shortage of foot soldiers Is that we find the regimcntai units so split pp that in many in- stances tactical instruction is quite impossible and the art of war, which is . soldiers business. Is rclegated to the scrap heap while the inadequate force at most of the small posts is cn,- ployed in the improbable round of guard duty and police work. which wbile belonging properly to the pro- fcssion of arms. Is only incidental thereto and of absolutely no practical ,alue from n military standpoint.
 On tho other hand the little two company posts arc of no value what. ever from defensive standpoint.
 No one should rrcach tho possibility cf war. It is of course always present. but 1t is better In most instances to go quietly to work preparing for 1t. rnther than to shout from the house. tops tho possibility of invasion.
 However. ns purely precautionary measure VIC must look the possibility Of invasion in the face for not to do sc invites invaaion.
 In case thero should he somethina in our foreign relations which would call for retaliation on tn. part of an other power. And there may bc just that situation within < year. and the power is situated within striklns
