DR.. Howsley, one of the worst
criminals ever sent up from this
county, has ESCAPED from the convict
camps after serving less than a year
of en-year sentence. 1t is with
much difficulty that our most motor
ious malefactors are arrested. in the
first place, and also very difficult to
secure their conviction. 1t is rather
discouraging that after one is safe
ly landed" he manages to easily eff
feet his getaway from the eustodians
to whom the State has leased him i.
Tampa Tribune.
The Telegram has repeatedly
called attention to the importance
OF this growing evil of the escape of
convicts in this State. And we no.
tice that the most dangerous one
who have been difficult to capture
and convict, get away more fire.
quenty than the less important ones,
We might as well have no jails and
convict camps If we can't have Jail
ers and guards of sufficient intelli-
gence and vigilance to hold their
prisoners. In every case of such es-
capes there should he a prompt and
rigid investigation and whoever is
in fault either through negligence
or connivance should be adequately
punished.

1t may not be generally known
but 1t is a fact that State Senator
Bitch of Levy county, a man of su-
perior ability, too, who knows how
to think and has the courage of his
convictions, is a strong advocate of
woman suffrage and wants an
amendment to our State constitution
providing for it. And, we are told,
Senator Bitch also believes in the
science of eugenics to a certain de-
gree and wants legislation that will
make 1t. We have not seen the vol
riage license than it Is now. Senator
Bitch is evidently a genuine pro-
gressive, not one Of the nominal
kind that doesn't know the political
meaning of the word and is bawl-
ing "reactionary" at Senator
Fletcher.

Even though the country has
passed out of the grasp of the "l3''
hootloo with the beginning of 1914,
the Ocala bar seems to be getting no
benefit from the release. Three
tragedies and near tragedies quite
recently among the lawyers of that
city are thus referred to by the Or
landO Sentinel:
"A strange fatality. or chain of
tragetic events, seems to have fol-
lowed the members of the legal pro-
fession in Ocala recently. A young
man went to the Office of a lawyer
and shot himself dead, another law
yer shot himself accidentally while
attempting to load new revolver,
and died, and another went out
and was shot, though not
seriously, by another huntsman."

GYPSUM GOES
TO FAR PORT
SHIPMENT OF RAW MATERIAL
TO ORIENT FROM MOUND
HOUSE QUARRY

From the quarries of the Nevada
Gypsum company near Mound House
came a shipment of II cars over the
v. & Il. railroad this morning, says
the Reno Gazette. The material had
all the appearances of freshly-driven
snow, but it was not so cold and
cheerless. 1t was gypsum of most
excellent quality, %quarried and tram
med to the railroad, shipped by car,
to be transhipped to an ocean-gOing
vessel and ultimately landed at Homo
lulu.
Another big shipmnt will come to-
morrow, and all will be loaded into
the hold of a vessel at Oakland. The
arrival of the gypsum caused consid-
cradle interest here and it was sug-
gested by some hat the company was
about to close down its plant at
Mound House and ship the raw, in
stead of the refined, product, but this
was st%renuously denied by authori-
ties.
The refining plant is running day
and night and the procession of
buckets by aerial is never-ceasing.
The big mill is not able to supply the
demand for the finished product, and
a quantity is being shipped in the
rough.

GEORGE WINGFIELD NOT
IN RAGE TRACK GAME

When asked today regarding the
rumored race track that he vas to

tract of land south of this city,
George Wingield stated emphatical-
ly:
Il am not building any race track.

and | am interested in no Nevada

This came positively from the lips
of the man who is doing more to
improve the breed of horses and 9TH
CT live stock in Nevada than any
other man or set of men in the state.
He said further:
Il am simply engaged in building

JARBIDGE Is DOING
DEVELOPMENT WORK

E. w. Griffith has returned from a
trip to the Jarbidge, New, mining
district. He went with some eastern
people. He says work is being done
on the Flake. Alpha, Success, Pick
and Shovel, Buster, Lonkhick, Legi-
innate, Little Devil and several pros
poets. Greater depth is being at
tanned in several of these properties,
and the operators are finding gooo
sized deposits of mill ore, the pro-
duet showing values of from $12 to
as much as $40 a ton. A depth of
400 feet has been attained in the
Buster, Success, Alpha and Flake
mines, and all show about the same
character of ore. The Buster is
loading a high-grade shipment of ore
that has been sorted, the values be-
ing from $175 to $500 a ton.
A small mill has been erected on
the Alpha ground. which is owned by
the Potter Palmer estate of Chicago.

SAYS RAWH|DE IS
LOOKING BETTER

County Commissioner +. r. Red
is in Hawthorne in attendance on
regular meeting of the board of
commissioners. Mr.. Red says hat
every one in Rawhide is optimistic,
and that the outlook for the famous
camp is brighter now than at any
time in its history. Steady and per-
ious mining companies and mining
me have put this camp on a sub
stantial basis, with a steadily IN
oreasing production.
That Rawhide is still in the high
grade class is proven by Geo. frost
who is leasing on d portion of the
ground owned by the Nevada New
Mines company, and who has what
Mr.. Red calls 1.-The biggest little
mine in the country" Mr.. frost is
sinking a shaft on this property ana
has at present attained a depth OF
about 20 feet. He has uncovered a
vein which averages three inches in
width and carries values of three
dollars a pound. Mr.. frost and one
man who is employed by him carry
night and are netting about 500 a
day. The vein has every indication
of permanency and is increasing in
size as depth is attained. Mr.. Red
has the adjoining claim and at pres
ent is working within 200 feet of
tho U,oat 1norn ND aupnntr 70 on
counter the same vein.
The working force at the Black
Eagle mine and mill has been in
creased. Under the able manage
ment of Daniel Evans, assisted by
Mr.. Hughes, a mill man of wide eX-
lerience, the mill is doing better
work and is treating 60 tons of ore
daily.
The New Era Mines company has
completed a cross-cut between the
new and old shaft and is making a
steady production of from so to 60
tons, which will be increased by the
new night shift which was put on
last week. Mr.. e. w. King, man
ager, states hat they are no on the
main vein and the ore is of a most
satisfactory grade. This company
mill all their own ore at their mill

MOTHER OF PEARL |KON
OF LORDS LAST SUPPER"

LONDON, April 11.--A mother of
pearl ikon, of the Lords Last Sup
per-" almost identical to that pre-
scented to the emperor of Russia by
the sultan of Turkey as a peace Of
fering on the outbreak of the late
war with Italy, is in London awaiting
a claimant. 1t was destined for King
George, but because it is not an Off
cial gift it cannOt be presented to
him, and, since no n else has d
right to accept it., the ikOn remains
without a master.
The history of the ikOn began when
Italy cast covetous eyes on Turkeys
1ripolian possession. The sultan in
need of friends, determined to turn
TO his powerful neighbors on the
north and in rue Oriental fashion
decided to accompany his overtures
with a gift. He ordered the Kobi.
an Arabian tribe celebrated for its
mother of pearl work, to make an
ikon of the Lords Last Supper for
the presentation to the Russian en-
peror. 1t was no small order, for
the mother of pearl had to be car
ried a twelve day camel journey into
the interior from the s%eashOre.

had served in the British army paid

he saw what was being done he in

]discourtesy to his royal master if a
similar gift was not made for King
George. The only difference between
the two is that the Russian gift is
surmounted by the imperial arms of
Russia while the English image
bears the royal arms of Great
Britain.
When the Russian gift Vas nnish-
ed the agents of the sultan paid for
it and carried it away, but the KObi
tribesmen did not know how to send
the replica to King George. 1t was
finally taken to Sir John Gray Hill,
of Liverpool, who maintains a win
ter home on the Mount o. Olives
in Jerusalem. Lady Hill paid the
trihesmen for their work and
brought the ikcn to London
