Thirty-two Join
Leisure Hour Club

"Wednesday night at a meeting of
the Leisure Hour club thirty-two
new members were balloted on and
admitted. Prof. I'ran>den OF the
university delivered very interest,"
ing lecture On the germ theory.
No club in this city has had such
a hard struggle for existence as tht
Leisure Hour and now with ITS
troubles all behind it and a matter
of past history, it has recently
bounded into public favor and ~
we'll on its feet with a fine club
house and it no longer has to solicit
people to come in and enjoy it>
membership.
The club was started eighteen
year, ago with about dozen char
ter members Among these were
Rev Eddy and wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis. Ada and Jennie TOrrey
Edward Nanderleith and sister, Mrs.
Castle and Miss Stella Colcord.
They met in the guild room of the
Episcopal church. The main idea
was to discuss literary and scientific
topics. Members were assigned sub
ject> on which to prepare papers
and these papers were discussed by
those present.
Presently. as the club enlarged.
more attention was paid to the SO
cial side Occasionally they met for
recreation and refreshments and
evenings were spent in jollity and
merrymakng.
Public entertainments were given
, from time to time and a fund a.
cumulatcd for building purposes
For awhile the idea OF Leisure
Hour club house was regarded as d
! Joke in the community. But the
good naturedly and went ahead
, Last year they a>toni>hed the COM

OF the club house. Mrs. Davis had
made a lively fight for the building
! and to her Was accorded the honor
! OF hourishing the trowel when the
| first COB of mortar was spread over
| the stone.
Now the club has a building that

No longer i, the club a joke but a
living reality, People desiring to
give social receptions or dances
which might crowd their private

With the advent OF the big pumps
in the Virginia City mines a couple
of months ago. followed by the low
cring of the water to point 10
or more feet below the $500 level OF
the Con. Virginia mine. a decided
decrease IN the flow of the water at
Shaw springs in Carson was noticed.
The reduction may have been COIN
cident or it might have been due to
natural or eXtraneOuN causes, but at
any rate it caused considerable
alarm, for the flow had been very
pcrccptibly decreased Ihcrcup"n
wills Broughcr. the owner of the
springs. and Manager Morris Ray
craft got busy and putting force
Of men TO work began boring and
cleaning out the crcviCeS that adj
mittcd the water. with the result
that not only the old flow was fully
restored, but wa, augmented to the
extent that the spring, are now pro-
ducing forty->eVen miners inches OF
water per day, where before never
more than thirty-tlve inches was re-
corded. so today the springs are
in better shape than ever from the
standpoint OF production, and from
the analyses that have been made,
the water holds up to standard in
strength and quality.
The recording OF this present con-
dition bring, to the recollection OF
those who lived in Carson many
years ago the fact that at the time
Of the big earthquake on June 3,
1887. the springs, which were then
the property of J. c. Shaw, went
completely dry Whether this was
due to iaulting or folding OF the
zone was never determined. Mr..
Shaw. however, secured the ser

In order that the OnStltutlOnallty
of the law prohibiting the employ
ment in mines Of foreigners who
cannot read or speak the English
language, may be absolutely deter
mined friendly suit has been in
stituted in the Nye county district
court by District Attorney Sanders
against the Tonopah Mining COM
pany. The suit was impelled by the
fact that it was believed the law,
which was passed by the last legi,-
lature, was to be tested by the cO1-
suls of foreign countries whose sub
jects, or many of them, are living in
Nevada mining camps.
There is but little doubt that the
validity of the law will be maintain
ed, but Of course that is prejudging
the case. There is but little Oppos;-
tiOn to it. and that from isolated
quarters Most of the mine opera
tors are in favor OF it, notably the
Consolidated Mines company, Of
Goldfield. which has been following
wedding out process i'll that town
ever since the law was passed, to the
end that but few foreigners are now
employed in the Goldfield mines, and
those remaining are Of the better
class.
At Buckhorn and other camps con-
trolled by the Wingfield interests
the foreigners have practically evap-
grated. none being employed except
work that is justly objectionable
to the better element of American
labor. The action of these inter
ests will be followed by companies
in many other districts OF the state
and before the termination OF this

Baker in Line for
Another Big Plum

Drop Ray Baker into a pond and
he would come out as natty and
debonair as ever: let him fall from
an aerpplane and he would land on
his feet without jarring a hair. and
let him start out for a political job,
no matter to what heights it might
lead him. and he will bring home
the bacon. Just what system he em-
plovs has never been revealed.
Raw went to Washington a few
m, nth, ago. shortly after losing his
lob at the Nevada State prison. and
it was not long before he landed a
C>ition that many were seeking.
Now comes word from the national
capital that he is about to secure a
plum that hundreds have unavaliing-
" sought, which news is contained
in a special dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle, and is as tOl-
lows:

DWyer Was First
Sentenced to Hang

In the Patsy Dwyer story which
appeared i'll yesterdays Appeal an
commission of considerable import
ance was made, in that it failed to
state that Dryers first trial took
place at Austin, in Lander county,
and that he was convicted ard con-
demned to hang. Then a change OF
venue was taken to Elko county,
where on trial he was acquitted
The transfer Of the case to the
latter county was due to the fact
that at Dryers first trial all but
twelve men in Lander county, qua,-
l1ed to serve as jurymen, had been
IN the Jurybox and questioned as
to their eligibility. Upon this show
ing and the fact that practically
everybody in Lander county had
formed an opinion as to DIVERS
guilt or innocence, the change OF
venue was granted by the court.

court next week, with the prospect
