THIEVES MARKET IS
CENTER OF TRADING
INSTITUTION DOES LARGE BUSi-
NESS UNDISTCRBED BY
AUTHORITIES

The s~o-called thieves market in
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, is n of
the curious and characteristic inst
buttons of the city. 1t consists OF a
series of small booths along the side
of the public maj ket; in these booths
every article known to the hardware.
plumbing and novelty trades may be
found at second hand in every con-
ceivable state of preservation or de-
cay. The name of the market is no
reflection upon the proprietors o
upon their patrons, but is an impl:-
cation hal thieves sell in this mar
ket their miscellaneous plumber.
Here are found tools and imple-
ments, knives and pistols, pillow
points, door knobs, bottles, hinges.
valves and elbows, chain, bride bits,
razors, religious books from the old
Barcelona press, cheap jewelry, and
occasionally odd pieces of table sill
yer. In fact, any bit of portable and
nonperjshable merchandise may be
bought or sold is in tn thieves mar
ket. 1t constitutes a serious compe-
tition for the hardware stores, for
if the householder finds himself in
need of a door knocker, a hinge, or
a pane of glass, his first resort IS to
this market. Many parts of nipple.
ments from the plantations find their
way to this market. The p%roprietors
are said to deal in more valuable
goods, such as precious stones and
metals, but these are not shown to
the public nor offered to strangers.
Antique pieces of brass work, china,
and silver may sometimes be found,
but these should be purchased with
the customary caution.
There are no fixed prices. The
dealer gets what he can. depending
largely upon tn patience of the Gus
toner. The pawn shops turn over
to this market cheap articles in hard
ware and jewelry which are not re-
deemed or sold at auction. Carpen-
ters and cabinet makers find r
their odd pieces for repair work, such
az locks and keys, fancy screws L
hinges. American goods are some
times seen, particularly BARRIERS sup
plies, cheap watches, buttons and
rafety razors. Imported articles in
San Luis Potosi are always expen-
slye. and articles of metal, even Of
native manufacture, are relatively
nigh; such articles are not discard
eC when worn. but find their wa'
tc this market and are used again
md again. 1t is a sort of clearing
fouse of commodities. To an extent
it supplies the lack of specialized
stores and prevents waste.

ROW IN SILVER CAMP
LEADS TO LIBEL SUIT
EDITOR BOOTH STANDS PAT, AS
USUAL. AND DEFTES THE
ALLIGATOR

The controversy at Tonopah be-
tween Editor W. W. Booth of the
Bonanza on one hand and District
Attorney Saunders and the county
commissioners on the other, appears
to take on new interest every day.
Editor Booth was twice arrested in
one day on charges of criminal libel,
but this morning he was reported
still at large and more defiant. II
possible. than at any stage OF the
proceedings. Mr.. Booth charges, in
effect, that the district attorney Is
influenced by motives personal to
himself and Is using his office as a
club. He also charges that the dis
trict attorney attempted to influ-
ence the grand jury to indict him,
and that failing in this he got busy
as an attorney for himself and the
commissioners. swore to a complaint
alleging criminal libel and secured
a warrant from a justice court.
Booth was released on bail. Numer-
Gus citizens of Tonopah are alleged
to have offered their signatures
the bond as sureties for his appear
ance. but this was not necessary, as
the bond had already been offered
and accepted.
The controversy grows out of the
position taken by the Bonanza In
relation to official proceedings OF
the board. and particularly with re-
Io,;on 70 tho Glazing of a certain
street or streets connecting with tN'
prescribed district Of the camp.
People from Tonopah who have
visited Goldfeld are of the opinion
that. regardless of the merits OF the
original controversy. public SYM
na,hy in the camp is with Mr.. Booth
ir re present status of the case.

WOULD CHANGE LAWS
MINERAL LOCATIONS
MINING MEN PLAN TO MEET IN
WASHINGTON AFTER CON-
GRESS CONVENES

Much interest has been manifested
in the meeting of mining men thai
will be held in Washington, Dec. 10,
under the auspices of the mining and
metallurgical society of America.
The American mining congress, the
American institute of mining engi-
neers and nearly all Of the mining
associations west of the Mississippi
river are cooperating in making the
meeting one that will thoroughly
represent the metal miners of all the
states where public lands still remain
u~noccupied.
Delegates from all parts of the
United States have already signiT1ed
their intention of being present, so
hat there is no doubt but that the
meeting will be large and %represen-
tative.
The purpose of this meeting is to
demonstrate to congress that the
men who are engaged in the mining
industry of the United States want
a reform of the archaic and discord-
ant mining laws under which they
have been operating for the last 80
years. That a reform is wanted bv
great majority is u~ndoubted. To
that the mining industry has thriv-
en- under the existing system and
therefore it should be let alone.
True, it has thriven, but rather m
spite of the system than because Of
it. as is evidenced by the fact that
in many of Jul great mining camps
the extralateral features of the law
have been abolished by common con-
sent. as also has been the require
ment of discovery.
However, the purpose of the forth
coming meeting, as stated by the min
ing and metallurgical society, is not
to advocate special reforms, not
to attempt to draft a new Law in
convention, but to impress upon
congress the demand of the industry
hat something be done. The draft
ing of a new law ought to be the
work of a commission, which will
study the diverse conditions Of min
eral deposits. hear the opinions OF
a great many people and coordinate
in everything for the general good.
This was recognized in bills that
were introduced in the senate and
the house respectively last winter,
largely through the instrumentality
If the American mining congress.
These bills were pushed far enough
tn have them reported out of CON-
mittee, but amid the pressure of 9TH
er business they failed OF passage.
The object of the forthcoming meet
ing is to give one OF them, or an
improved bill. the effective push tnat
will set it rolling through the eXt
session of congress right into the
residents office for signature.

FOOTBALL SQUAD
HAS NEW COACH
REV. r. THOMPSON TAKES REINS
DURING COACH TURNER'S
ABSENCE

The football squad of the high
school is under the tutelage of the
Rev. f. Thompson, who held the rec
ord as the best all-round athlete in
this country from 1912 to 1915 and
who is an old head at football. Tho
change in coaching was necessitated
by the absence of Coach Turner,
is forced to attend the teachers in
stitute at Tonopah at the time when
the squad most needs his services.
However he has arranged with the
Rev. Mr.. Thompson to assume full
charge of the team during his alb
sence.
The new coach has several special
plays which he is giving to the team
and which will, he is confident, help
to destroy the morale of the TonOpah
team by utterly crushing all effect
i've resistance to the play. The local
team has not been misled by bear
stories" from Tonopah. relating t
the injury of several players in the
Reno game, but is putting in the
time between 4 and ) o'clock every
afternoon in hard grinding work. The
squad will be in the best of shape
for the fray on Thanksgiving day.
when they will invade the domains of
the TOnopah warriors.
Much interest has been manifest
throughout the camp in the coming
game, and it is thought that a full
quota of rooters wi" travel over the
desert sands to watch the invad
tribe at TOnopah. According to pres
ent plans the squad, with it's Goa
will depart early Thanksgivin
morning and will be ready to ms
on the field at $50 in the after
noon in full battle array.

The mining situation at the North
end of the Comstock this week 5
practically unchanged, and with ore
extraction and development work be-
ing carried forward at the same
points as last week. General con
ditions continue of a favorable char
acter and the ore already uncovered
with the comparatively limited
amount of prospecting done PROM
ises much for the future. That ore
has been found so quickly in the IN
watered territory is a most graft
fying outcome and located in the
p~ortance. The decision to get back
into the main fissure at depth vas
we'll taken and the results are fully
justifying the same. 1t is being sat
isfactorily demonstrated that the
deep levels were eve thoroughly
prospected or mined and there 3
reason TO look for a large tonnage
of commercial ore from now on. The
work done to date points strongly in
this direction.
The Union Consolidated mine the
present week is getting out a fair
onnag of ore from No. 3 Slope on
the $500 level, and the average val
ues thus far have been better than
last week. The south end of the
Slope is looking particularly we'll.
No. | raise on the same lie eel is be
ing carried up On the vein and the
top is in ore of about the anne grade
as reported on Saturday last. The
raise to the 2450 level, in the south
west drift being extended by the I'm
ion and Sierra Nevada is making
progress. with the top in ore giving
fair average milling values. This
raise was up nearly 100 feet above
the $500 level last Saturday.
The Sierra Nevada company on the
$500 level is putting in sill floor
sets in the ore this week preparatory
to raising and stopping On the vein,
thus determining the extent of the
ore above the level.
The Mexican company is cleaning
ont west crosscut No. l from the
main south lateral drift on the $500
