A MATTER OF CONGRATULATIONS

The status of the mining industry
of the state of Nevada, and especially
in it's relation to the feelings existing
between the operators and their en-
ployes, should be a matter for con-
gratulations on all sides, says the
Goldfield Tribune. During the past
few years this great industry has
made unusual strides in the way of
systematic management and the
economical handling of ores, with the
result that a larger number of men
are assured of permanent employment
at good wages than would be possible
under no other conditions. TIC a
certain extent the prospector has
given way to the corporation. but
could not be avoided. Millions of
dollars were expended in this state
before a dollars worth of the low
grade porphyry copper ore could be
handled at a profit. For years in the
Ely district thousands of men have
been given steady employment at
good wages. This would have not
been possible if men had gone at
work single handed. In a somewhat
lesser degree. this has been true of
the mining of precious metals. When
the cream has been SKINNED and the
handling of low grade ore bodies has
become really a manufacturing
proposition, the world will not be
further enriched unless 1t is possible
to bring great capital to bear in the
effort to extract the ores. Many in
stances could be cited where this con-
dition exists today in Nevada to the
profit of all concerned-to the opera
tor and the employee. 1t is a happy
condition.

SMALL

Newspapers and magazines gem
orally have been endeavoring to put
an end to the trust-busting efforts of
the administration, to secure fair
treatment to corporations and indi-
viduals' alike in order to permit pros
perity to have a chance and reduce
the constantly growing army of un-
employed. To show that the greatest
hardship is inflicted on individuals,
stockholders and employees, Leslie's
Weekly gives figures showing the
number of small stockholders affect
ed by curtailment of dividends and
depreciation in value of stock. as fol-
lows:
Most persons think of the railroads
as a personality. The railroad is
a corporation. II is not owned by
one man or clique of men,. 1t is own
ed by the shareholders, many OF
whom are women. Over 100, 000
women hold shares of twenty-five
railroads in this country. The pros
perity of the railroads is. therefore,
the peoples matter and the worst
sufferers when a railroad becomes
bankrupt are the small holders of its
securities.
Railroad managers have been criti-
cized for not making a stronger
appeal to the public against the hard
ships that legislation is INJECTING.

WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR?

At present there are no local OF
other prophets who care to make any
predictions, as it is a good way from
being a safe bet. But the situation
is interesting, and a fertile field fol
the state press to build or theorize
upon. The present Harmonious
condition of the Nevada Democracy,
is also a pleasant theme for some oil
the Republican newspapers. The Ne.
vada News Letter and Advertiser
that came into lively existence al
Reno. about six weeks ago, has OPP
inions on state politics, notwith-
standing it's youth. In the current
number, concerning the gubernatorial
situation, Newsletter says:
while 1t is known that D. s. Dick
erson has urged Judge McCarran to
enter the race against Newlands for
the senatorial nomination, nothing
has yet come about to indicate wheth-
er the former governor would favor
Henderson, should the Elko banker
seek the Democratic nomination for
governor. Dickerson is said to have
entertained the strongest kind of an
inclination to seek the gu~bernatorial
nomination but whether the entrance
of Henderson into the fight would alter
his supposed strong desire is a ques-
ton yet to be determined. And then
again Dickerson's recent visit to Elko
is thought by some to have had to dc
been brought to bear on Henderson
to enter the race"

THE DANCE.

The cabaret dance given by the
knights of Pythias in X. of P. hall
last evening attracted a record at
tendance, all parts of the district be-
ing represented among the spectators
as we'll as those taking part in the
dance, that included everything in the
about steps. There was no ban on
anything from the wiggly wug to the
copper camp twist, although none of
the movements we're overdone and
utmost decorum prevailed in the big
gest crowd that ever INDUCED in the
terpischorean tango ct cetra. The
music was of the sort that got every
cne's pedals p~ulsating. and while thu
throng was so dense that it was nee
essary to dance In relays, everyone
had the best kind of a time and the
closing number came before the
dancers we're ready to quit. Exhibit
ton dances given by local adopts of
both sexes were highly pleasing, and
the cabaret dance goes on record as
one of the jolliest and most success
full of any ever given in the Ely dis.

trains we're run TO the mines and Nc

hauling ores from Hamilton to Eu-

With the highway rebuilt and

A CARSON CITY VIEWPOINT.

The Democratic governorship fight
is waxing warm and it seems that
every other man in the party wants
to sit in the seat of the mighty and
place his name on the bills that the
next legislature passes. The latest
to shine forward is Lem Allen, who
was in this city. (Carson.) and stated
that he would be a candidate for the
office. Lem is a Democratic war
horse who fought in the battles of his
party for a long number of years. and
was at one time lieutenant governor
of the state. Gilbert G. Ross is at
present the lead candidate and there
are Others who claim that Dickerson
will also be in the fight, but Dicker-
son is like the Sphinx of old-re-
fuses to discuss the question. Let
the fight go merrily on for the bigger
the fight the bigger the rejoicing
when the day is done.
California. Idaho. Oregon and
Washington are talking about going
dry next year. Nevada is not talk
ing about it nor is 1t even thinking
about going dry. This going dry is
something which Is uncalled for and
gives a state a bad name. Nevada
got good and cut out gambling and
LOST money on the lob. then Ii got
better and tempered with the divorce
question and is now feeling sorry and
II the good people were to get an
other bug In their bonnets and go dry
the insane asylum would have to
house the greater number. Nevada
is not trying any of the new fads at
present as a burnt child always
breads a ire.-Carson City News.

THEY MAKE PROTEST.
New Ordinance Would Put Little Con-
Germs Out. OF Business.

At q meeting or the city commission
this morning abant~ 20 persons inter-
ested in the dry cleaning business were
present to present their view Of the Or
dinance which h1s been prepared un-
der the. direction of Fire Chief Will
marth for the regulation of pressing
and dry cleaning establishments. The
ordinance is drastic in the extreme,
calling for an expense of about 81 500
for buildings specially constructed for
the business.
A number of the men engaged in the
business on a small scale were of the
opinion that the ordinance would put
them out of business and work to the
advantage of the larger concerns. F..
B. Simms stated that at a meeting of
those engaged in the cleaning business,
he had been appointed spokesman.
He called special attention to that
part of the proposed ordinance prOvid-
ing for three concrete buildings and
also that the ordinance become ef-
fective April 1, pointing out that it is
not practical to construct buildings
during the winter months. and pleaded
for more time.
1t was noticeable that most of the
representatives of small concerns were
opposed to the ordinance, while several
Of those representing larger establish
ments were in favor of it's passage. The
cleaning people will appoint a commit
tee to go over the ordinance with the
commissioners. Action on the ordi-
nance was postponed until Monday.

fastened together for the long time
necessary for their skins to grow to-
gether. Another objection to the lat
ter method was the curious supersti-
tuition which held that if the person
from whom the skin was borrowed
CHANGED to die first the new nose
would promptly shrivel up and drop
off.
Tagliacozzi was very proud Of his
ability and quick to resent any hint
that the noses he supplied were not
every bit as good as the original nose.
Once a nobleman who had lost his
nose in a duel had a new one made
by Tagliacozzi, but he could not get
up the courage to blow it for fear of
tearing it of. To prove his patients 8
fears groundless the surgeon seized
him by the new nose and pulled him
all around the house.
The novel methods used by Tagliac-
ozzi are described in book which he
published at Venice in 1897 In order
to give the new nose a natural color
he advised the application Of very hot
water and exposure to the suns rays
for several days. He thought the bile
of turtle the best thing to apply to
remove all traces of scars after the
operation. AS for missing ears and
lips this mediaeval surgeon claimed
to be able to replace them lust as
