censes at 50 each and S25 for

Mr.. Russell states that a large
number of black bass are being
caught and left on the banks of the
different streams, evidently heing
mistaken for carp. There is
strong resemblance between the
two fish and the only practical diff
ference in looks between the two is
that the bass have an oval back
while the carp is sharp. The bass
are also Of dark color and have
an extremely large mouth. The
bass is a fine game fish and is the
most highly priced fish in Eastern

ample to cover other expenses.

the regular Republican nominee
for Judge Of the Fourth Judicial
District. Mr.. Tabcr was elected t.
the office in 1912 and has served
his first term in manner salts
factory to the people Of his judicial

known III this section of the State

He is native Of Nevada and one
of the States foremost young men.
Judge Taber is too modest to boast
Of himself. This his friends take
pleasure and pride in doing. The
fa.t of the case is that the Judge
has conducted the affairs of this
Office in such an efficient and salts
factory manner that it scared OF
all opposition SD that he has the
field all by his lonesome. with a
lead-pipc cincn on the office for
two years more. Just the same

TONOPAH MINERS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Four men were on the skip of the
buckeye Belmont mine Saturday
morning at 7 o'clock when the cable
broke. None of the men sustained
more than bruises and flesh wounds
caused by the heavy cable weighing
744 pounds curling over the sheave
and descending on them, says the DO.
nanza. The escape Is nothing short
OF miraculous and the fact that tho
sufferers sustained any injury at all
is due to their neglect OF the rule of
the mine TO ride in the skip. In
stead of entering the skip, as they
should have done. the men took posi-.
tions on top of tho bonnet or hood
that serves as g staging for support
ing heavy timbers when they are low
cred into the: mine. The men arc
George Banburry. Alexander Thomas,
Chas. Narncy. and Henry Tits. The
first three sustained bruises on tho
head and shoulders and Tifls escaped
with only few scratcehs.
The men we're Eolrg on shift at
o'clock and had reached n depth OF
800 feet when the cable attached TO
the coupterbalancc by which they
were being lowered snapped The
skip dropped ten feet when IL was
held by the holsting cable and kept
there while the loose rope unwound

did President. He thinks he should have the support of Democratic organ. izations.
 All this, coming from Croker, sounds strange? Yes, when one considers his record as Tammany's chief. Yet 1t is not the first time that he has urged that Tammapy should be clean and progressive organization, nor will 1t be the first time since his retirement as chief for him to interfere in the or. sanitation in the interest of a higher plane of politics. He came back from Ireland once before and kicked John c. Sheehau out of the leadership After exercising the powers of chieGtaincy for brief period he put the affairs of the organization in the hands of Lewis Nixon, who was regarded as a political reformor in his day--a day when rerormcrs sought to secure clean men for party leaders and pub | lie officials. men who would play the game squarely and eliminate spoils and all the forms of graft from legis, latiou and administration, but who were not particularly interested in more democratic government or in curbing the avarice of those who ma, nipulated the finances of the country or controlled it's means of production and distribution
 But Tammany was not ready for any manner of reform at that time Nixon was hastily removed from the throne that Croker had prepared for him. and the historic organization re turned to its wallow. Whether or not it is now ready for the progressive pol icies of Wilson and Bryan remains to be seen. If so, it may justify the faith of Croker and the conception of its democratic founders. If not, Murphy will be succeeded by another like un to him and his predecessors of tn, last halfcentury.

Is is said that Croker does not desire to as sume the responsibilities of Tammany leadership himself. but that he is in- terested in reforming the organiza. tion. Among Croker's objections to Murphy is the latter's lack of sympa- thy with the administration. Croker thinks President Wilson is a great man and that he is making a splen-
