ed with disorderly conduct. Later
application was made to Judge Dun
seath, the Socialist justice of the
peace, TO set bonds for the release OF
the men charged with disorderly con-
duct. This he did and securities were
secured, but as the culprits were told
by the authorities they were safer in
Jail than without they concluded to
stay where they were, rather than
take chances on the street with the
Federation men,
Shortly after the trouble the Gold
held organizer, a man named Nc
Quicken, arrived in Tonopah and be-
came obstreperous. He was immedi-
ately arrested and put in the county
jail
But very small faction of the
Western Federation miners is in fav-
or of the Industrials and they are
getting little sympathy from that or
ganization. The lndustrials control
Cnly Jew restaurants in the town, SO
their effort to cut off the supplies OF
the miners will undoubtedly prove un-
availing.
As affairs now stand the authorities
nave everything under control and
lear no more immediate trouble.

Work Undone by Sheep

The efforts of the county commits
sioners to keep the road to Glen
brook via Kings canyon in good con-
dition are being undone by the sheep
men who continue to drive their
bands on the road. During the past
week the county dads have had a
crew of men filling the water holes
and the road was put in fine condi-
ton, but this morning more work WAS
provided for the crew by sheepmen
driving three separate bands along
the road, filling it with rocks from the
side hills. 1t is about time that some
one was hailed before the proper
authorities and made to pay for the
damage that is being done to county
roads.

VERA CRUZ, July l3-To save his
country from the horrors OF civil war
and his capital from capture and per-
haps sack by mobs, General HuerCa
intends to resign the provisional pres
idency and leave Mexico.
This statement has been made by
Roberto Estiva Ruiz, Mexican sub
secretary of foreign affairs, who reach
ed Vera Cruz from Mexico City on
his way to Europe Huerta he said,
will surrender the government to
Francisco Carbajal, the new minister
of foreign affairs, who, in turn, will
step aside, when the time comes, for
some other provisional president
wholly acceptable to the constitutions
alists.
Carbajal, he added, was suggested
as provisional president by the Amer
ican delegation at the Niagara Falls
mediation conference and agreed to
by the Huerta delegates and the South
American mediators, while the con-
stitutionalists indirectly had convey
ed the idea that he would be accept
able to Carranza.
Unless something happens to disar-
range the present plan, Estiva-Ruiz
is convinced that fighting between
federals and constitutionalists was
over. This, he said, was evidenced by
the evacuation of Guadalajara

Shortly after the hour of II last
night, at his home in this city, Col
onel Edward Plat Hardesty, Ne
vadas oldest citizen, passed to his
eternal rest after an illness lasting
over a period of many years. The
aged pioneer had been suffering
from combination of ailments
brought about by his advanced age
for many years and the end has been
anticipated for months.
Colonel, or Senator, Hardesty, as
he is more widely known in this
state, was one of the real pioneers
OF the west. Coming into Nevada in
1872 he engaged in the stockraising
business in White Pine and Elko
counties and from this line of indus
try accumulated a fortune.
Colonel Hardesty came from a
race of fighters and his direct family
have served through three wars be-
tW cen this country and other nations
His grandfather, Wallace Hardesty,
inlmigrated from the north of Ire
land prior to the Revolutionary war
and fought against England during
the whole time of the struggle A
son Jacob served this country in the
war of 1872, and later the deceased,
the remaining heir to the family
name, did noble service for his
country in the Mexican war, and
was one of the few survivors of that
memorable struggle.
AS to the exact date of his birth
there seems to be some doubt. Ac-
cording to Wren's History OF Ne
vada Colonel Hadresty was born al
Newport, Kentucky, in September OF
1924, making him 90 years of age
On the records of the great register
the date of his birth is given as 1917
The death certificate filed today
gives his age as o5, while a family
Bible that has been handed down
through generations places his age
at lO7.
His youth was spent in the Miss
issippi valley and his first introduce
ton to the west was made after his
enlistment for service in the Mexi-
can war. Following the war he en-
gagged in the freighting business be-
tween Salt Lake City and various
Montana towns.
Following his location in Nevada
he took an active interest in politics,
being staunch Democrat and later
one of the prime movers in the Sill
yer party. He served in the legisla-
ture in 1884 and 1886 in the assem-
bly, and later in the upper house.
In 1884 and again in 1896 he was

Of CURRENCY EXPENSE

BY Webster.

The expense Of engraving and printing
emergency currency notes at the bureau
of engraving and printing is to be met
out Of the appropriation provided for
this purpose in the law creating emer-
gency currency. passed by Congress
May 80. 1908. George E. Downey. con-
troller Of the Treasury. decides that the
regular annual appropriation for the ex-
penses Of the bureau Of engraving and
printing is not required to bear this
extraordinary expense
The expenses Of the bureau are ap-
propriated for annually" he comments
in his decision. and it may be that II
the provisions Of the act of 1908 were
permanent legislation and the require
ments that might be entailed thereun-
der upon the bureau could be reason
ably ascertatned SO as to be made the
matter of estimate and regular appro-
priation that would be the course that
would have to be followed.
But taking into consideration that
the act has only q limited duration. and
mainly In emergency situations, as at
present. / am not constrained to say
the regular bureau appropriations are
required to bear the extraordinay ex-
penses arising by the action now being

titled to be paid under the approprta-

PRICES OF METALS UP.
Geological Survey Sees Chance for
American Production.

How the European war is causing an
increase in the prices Of certain metals.
and affecting the production of others, Is
told by the United States geological sur
vey today. The war has raised the New
York price of tin to 65 cents a pound. In
July tin sold as low as 30b cents q
pound. The rise in price is attributed
to insecurity OF ocean freights, which
are carried largely in English and Ger
man bottoms.
Anthony. ordinarily one of the cheap
er metals, has reached more than 20
cents a pound. price higher than that
Of aluminium. This is due to the fact
that practically all Of the metal used In
the United States is imported from Euro
pean smelters. So long as the war con-
tinues. and especially SO long as sea
trafiic Is disturbed. production will be
curtailed and prices raised, according to
the geological survey.
The war has closed the European mar
ket to American radium ores, and as
long as 1t lasts will have q deleterious
effect on the production Of radium ores
in this country.
With the greater part Of white arsenic
used in America coming from European
countries. imports will undoubtedly be
seriously diminished by the war, It 10
stated. The geological survey believes
that the war opens the way for an In
crease in the American production.
