JAMES D. MOORE
Mine INSPECTOR

James d. Moore, candidate for the
office of mine inspector on the Demo
cratic ticket, has been spending few
days in Tonopah and left last even
ing for Goldfeld and the southern
country, proposing to visit Las Vegas,
Searchlight and Phoebe.
Mr.. Moore made favorable i'm
preston on the men of Tonopah by
his manly and direct appeal for sup
port He is not a politician, but he
is miner ana a mine superintendent
who has always had the good will
of his acquaintance He was reared
in the state and has spent all his life
on the Comstock mining and pros
pecting and was in charge of the
Ward for the last seven years until
the mine closed down. Mr.. Moore
is member of the Virginia City
Miners union and is also member
of the Eagles. These are the only
organizations which claim his affilia-

any promises and contents himself by
saying he will give both mine opera

The REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE
THEN

One hundred and twenty-four
years ago today George Wash
ington signed the congressional
act which established the Unit
ed States revenue cutter ser
vice. 1t thus became the first
maritime force of the American
republic. Fifteen months later
there were ten revenue cutters
afioat, differed by veterans of
the old Continental navy. These
vessels constituted the only
armed force afioat belonging to
the United States for the fol
lowing six years. Their duties
were to patrol the coast, ex-
tending in those days from
Maine to Georgia, to prevent
smuggling, and to enforce the
few maritime laws existing in
the United States Organized
under the treasury department
II remained in the discretion of
the president to send them to
war under the navy. Fighting
French priyateers in 1898, the
, revenue cutters captured eigh-
teen of the twenty-five prizes
} taken by the United tSates. In
the war of 1872 they captured
the first prize ship. and fought
calamity throughout the war.
They fought in the Mexican war,
one of the cutters accompanied
} the naval expedition against
Paraguay in 1858. During the
civil war, they fought with the
navy and helped to maintain
} the blockade of southern ports.
In the Spanish-American war, a
} revenue cutter accompanied
, Dewey into Manila bay, while
, the crew of another one con-
, gressional medals for it's spec
, tacular rescue of Ensign Bag
, ley's helpless torpedo boat at
, Cardenas, Cuba.

THE COLONEL FELL FOR THEIR
LITTLE SCHEME.

When they reached Las Moras the
colonel was detained and they volun-
teered to take on his dispatches and
deliver them at san Pedro. His sus-
picions had been disarmed, and he
gave them a letter TO the rebel COM
mander in that place asking for a
special train 10 deliver the stalled
ammunition. The foreigners took his
letter and departed with blessing
After that they pretended they were
on rebel business and showed the
dispatches TO questioners. II worked
as the finest kind of pass as long as
their road continued in the direction
of san Pedro, to which place, of

PRETTY HARD JOB TO REACH
THAT REUNION.

Mr.. Richardson, after going through
some exciting adventures on the
ranch. at last desired To leave the
country to return TO the uiennial
reunion Of his class at Yale in the
end Of June, 1913. All the roads to
the north and the east were closed
and the only way ran toward the
south. through a country that was
in the grip Of scattered rebel de-
tachments. The ranch, however
WAS nomnally under protection OF
tho Federals, who at that time had
not been driven from Torreon by
their enemies.
The first attempt that Richardson
made 10 leave Torreon took him
about two hundred miles by rail-
way. when Ia The night he saw req
glare ahead of the engine, ana
burning bridge stopped further prog

They are not so strong as they We're
four months ago. and Hucrta is the
best man i'm Mexico i'm its present
chaotic state. But the inability of
Huerta to cope with his besetting
problems has been well demonstrated
by Richardson's own experience on
his ranch, where for the last three
years conditions have been growing
worse and worse until now they are
intolerable. Every day he and his
companions would be called on by
attachments Of rebels, who demanded
corn and money. When they were
refused they did not hesitate to steal
whatever they could lay their hands
Oh. They "vamOsed" with practically
all the mule power the ranch owners
possessed, $50 mules being drafted
into the rebel army at one time, and
on another they walked off with all
the firearms that had been laid in
stock by the Americans for prOtec-
ton, the whereabouts Of the guns,

Mexican servant who knew of their

REFUGEE TRAIN DRIVEN BACK

over to the ranch demands for corn
