FOUNO BOGUS MONEY

Yesterday afternoon while three
small boys were playing back OF the
saloon, formerly kept by Frank
Karamitos, they found three rolls
Of silver coin wrapped in wrapping
paper and pieces of the San Fran.
cisco Examiner of February 10,
1913. One of the boys, Edelo
Quiliri, took part of the money to
Eugene Cipriana, his uncle, with
whom he is living.
At first glance Mr.. Cipriana
thought the money was good but
on closer inspection he had doubt
about its being genuine. He then
took the coin to the sheriff's office,
where it was closely examined and
found to be bogus.
Officers Lanon and McMurtrev
then set out to gather up the rest
Of the bogus c0ir, the hoys having
divided it among them. The Jayo
bov had so; the Quilici boy had
50 and the Lipsrclli boy $3.50.
They also searched the premises
where the money was found, but
failed to find any more.
The coin is a coed imitation of
the genuine, but is light in weight.
rhc milling is imperfect and the
metal rather soft; il would, how.
ever, escape detection by the casual
handler. II bears dates of 1912
and 1919.
1t is supposed TO be the work Of
a Greek who passed through here
in the latter part Of March and who
was suspected of robbing John
Browns saloon Of $50. In March
or April. Constable McMurtrey
took case containing six bottles
containing acid from the saloon,
and il is now supposed this whs
pnrt of the counterfcite,'s outfit.
The u. s. authorities have been
notified Of the find. The Greeks
whereabouts are unknown.

SOCIALISTS NAME
PART OF TICKET

That the socialist party intends
to make an active campaign for
both national and state Offices is
evident from reports given out
from Reno to the effect that the
committee in charge Of the line up
OF candidates has decided upon who
shall be the nominees for United
States senator, congressman and
governor. For United States Sena-
tor A. Grant Miller has been select
ed to make the race with State
Senator Martin j. Seaman Of Tono-
pah as candidate for congress and
w. A. Murgan of Manhattan as
the party'S choice for Governor.
Mr.. Morgan is the least known of
the three in political circles, but is
considered strong leader in Nyc
county, where at the last election
he finished third in the race for
state senator.

AFFECTS NEvAOES
MINERAL LANDS

With the oil land decision of
the supreme court of the United
States yesterday giving clear title
to S700.O00.O0O worth of Cali
fornia oil lands, came a question as
TO the status Of affairs in Nevada
where SO much cf the land included
in the Central Pacific prent may
be mineral bearing, says the Reno
Gazette.
That the discovery of minerals
on land patented by the Southern
Pacific company cannot affect the
patent under the supreme court F,
decision was stated to-day by Judge
George S. Brown, local counsel for
the company.
Heretofore it is said the popular
impression has been that a man
could stake out mineral claim
anywhere he found minerals and
Gust the former owner Of the land.
Such action is declared clearly
out of question, legally. The
courts decision is interpreted as
meaning that mineral locations may
be u adc on lands under ut to
the railroad company but not on
lands owned under patent by the
railroad company or by settlers,
Any unpatented land is held under
the decisi to be open to mineral
locations, but patented land is helC
not to be open to location. The only
way. Judge Brown points out, that
patent once issued could be an
nulled, would be for the govern
ment to bring action within 81,
years to set aside the patent OF
the ground that it was ISSUED
through fraud or error.
Judge Brown explained that tn,
railroad has land examiners, O
whom Carl Stoddard of Reno IS one
going over lands which are read
to be patented. The land examine
looks at the land and if his decis
ion does not coincide with that O
the railroad examiner, another eY
animation is made by the rsilrosd'
reprrs Valuable minera
deposits are the basis on which lant
may be excluded from patent foi
agricultural purposes.

ANOTHER VIRDlCATION
Of BROTHER PERKINS

We fear that Brother Perkins
will have to shake again with sup
pressed soos and leave the room to
hide his cmution. The New Ycrk
County Progressive, which claims
to be the official organ of the Bull
Moose party in the honorable
county of Now rork, has this to
say of Brother Pinchot's recent
remarks about the Cash Register
Of Armageddon:
"On the other hand, MIR. Perkins
has given most freely Of his valu-
able time and money to further the
cause of Progressive principles,
and all those who have been clnsely
associated with him know how
very sincere and unselfish he Ehas
been in his endeavors to help estab-
lish a government Of, for and by
the people--a government that will
lift the country out vf its present
chaotic conditions into position of
progress and prosperity. That is
the aim of our party and Mr.. Per-
kirs has been honestly and faith
fully helping all those who have
been unselfishly working for the
cause"
AS the Progressive truly re.
marks, in regard to the relative
merits Of Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.. Per.

THE FATE OF A COWARD

Many people have doubtless
wondered what has become of
Bruce Ismay. the millionaire coward
of the ill-fated Titanic.
The following clipped from the
Ely Expositor tells how he spends
his miserable existence:
In a remote house at the heel of
the sea near Costello, Galway bay,
Ireland, lives a man who was once
honored and respected an ornament
to polite society everywhere, a
pnwer in maritime life, known all
over the world as the director ai
great Transatlantic steamship
company. He was immensely
wealthy, and is still. But his house
is described as solitary lodge in
the heart of on Irish wilderness.
He has few visitors. He rarely
leaves his own premises. When he
does, his old friends pass him " .th.
out word, without a sign of
recognition.
This man is Bruce Ismay, the
steamship man who was arraigned
for the tragedy of the Titanic.
RumOr whispered that his one-time
friends avoided him after his
c 'wardice that awful night when SO
many men and women sank with
the great ship beneath the sea II

BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Henry Clews, writing from New
York, SAYS of the business condi-
tions generally that nothing h syet
occurred to break the prevailing
inertia which hangs over nearly
all departments of business. Some
hopes cf greater activity have been
justly based upon our magnificent
wheat crop and continued easy
muney. But such anticipation seems
to have been unfortunately smoth-
cred by the Mexican uncertainties
and Congressional discussions.
All fair minded men will concede
that there is world wide slowing
down of business due to economic
causes. Germany is still feeling
moderate reaction from the activity
of the last few years and the Balk-
an war. France has been suffering
from disturbed political conditions.
Great Britian's phenomenal boom
seers to have reached a climax and
natural reaction is on while the
whole continent of Europe is feel.
ing the burden of crushing military
and naval expenses. In other por-
tio1s Of the world, such as China,
Japan. India and South America,
the tendencies are also more or less
reactionary.
The situation in The United
States. however varies somewhat in
important particulars from other
countries. We have had no real
boom in this country since the panic
of 1907, although very fair recov-
ry follnwe ! that crisis. Wnile
the st of the commercial world
has been enjoying unusual activity
we have been persistently slowing
dowh for nearly two years. We
have had much liquidation, and
our principal industries have been
running on short time during a
considerable period. Economy has
been practiced in many directions
and as result this country is re-
markab!p free from the over doing
which is at bottom of the recession
now taking place in other parts of
the world. Briefly this country is
in All excellent condition, CONNER
cially, industrialIy ana financially,
and is willing to take fresh for
ward start at the first opportunity ;
the situation here with few excep-
tions being 1nusally sound. There
is one great obstacle to such re-
c0very, and that is the lack of con-
fidence. Possibly from even a strict
~ economic standpoint, the time
for 3 fresh start is not yet ripe,
since readjustment may not be en-
tirely complete, and there would
naturally be disposition to await
greater certainty as to the forth
coming harvests. Business men
must soon assume a more confident
and hopeful attitude. There is no
longer any uncertainty about the
tariff about tie Panama Canal
problem. Moreover, there is less
uncertainty about trust legislation; !;
and the Mexican problem though
unsettled is much less serious than
month ago.
