Tribute to Bishop Seaman

The Ri. Rev. Laurence Seaman, bishop of the Salt
Lake diocese of the Catholic church, died in Salt Lake City
Phoebe, Nevr in 1860, later being called to Salt Lake. The
ALT Lake Tribune pays the following beautiful tribute to
the beloved bishop:
When Bishop Scanlon came into the western country
as a young Irish priest he found himself in a new world
spiritually as well as materially. He was pure of heart.
devout and humble, and he believed in the absolute letter
of the Christian moral law. To that standard he held
throughout a long period of service for his church and the
people OF the west, but as there was not the slightest faint
OF fanaticlsm in his soul his outlook upon humanity soft
ened as the years went by and the time came when men
wondered that SO sanity a churchman could look so leni-
emily upon the faults, and sometimes the very grevious
faults, of others. 1t was inevitable, therefore, that he
should be loved and respected by the faithful and the
errlng alike. No one esteemed the holy man more than
he' and yet no one was more charitable toward the sinner.
1T was the natural development of spiritual growth
that a priest OF such keen and broad human svmpathies
should become tolerant, not only of the human weaknesses
that lead men to wander from the straight and narrow
path, but tolerant also OF religious differences. 1t was
noteworthy of his entire life in Salt Lake that he lived not
only on terms of peace with men of all beliefs, but that he
counted among his closest friends the clergymen whom the
people of Salt Lake esteemed the most. The friendship
that existed between Bishop Seaman and the late Bishon
Spaldlng of the Episcopal church was a credit to both
prelates and would have been a salutary lesson in anv COM
munlty. When Bishop Spaldng met an untimelv death
perhaps the truest and most generous tribute came from
the bishop who has Just passed away.
The character of the young Irish priest went through,
such a transformation that when men spoke of Bishop
seaman they regarded HIM as essentially a western man.
re was a pioneer and an empire builder, but his empire was
OF the soul. He found the men of the west foreetfu1. or
at least careless of the things of God. The MINING camn
was tree and easy and goddess. There were many vicious
characters, but the generality were such men as have made
the west great, strong and at heart righteous. They were
IKE the rough ore they extracted from the mountains
lAey needed but the crucible of the good priests ministry
to pour forth the rich gold of good deeds. And &c the
priest and the bishop transformed his flock $ thev tr,nc-
formed him, as did also the spirit of the west the mo,n-
ta'ns' the desert and the lonely vigils of the plainsman.

Snou In Southern Nevada

The heaviest snowfall in the history of Tonopah oc-
Cured last week, says the Reno Gazette. Continuing the
paper says: Those who have not lived in the southern
part OF the state do not realize what that means to Nye
county and to Esmeralda. 1t will probably result in the
development of districts that, owing to lack of water re-
sources, would otherwise not be possible to prospect.
The so-called desert of the southern part of Nevada
has been made to include on the maps great areas that are
no more a desert than the ordinary back yard is in a city.
They have water, but it flows underground and it takes
time and larger financial resources than the average man
possesses to bring this water to the surface. Rain and
snow, therefore, mean much to those counties in which
these areas lie, for the storms fill the washes and leave
pools that make travel possible.
Wherever there is water to be found the prospector
will go, and wherever he goes there is always a chance
and in this state an especially fine one-that the precious
metals will be discovered and a new camp come into ex>
istence to the pecuniary benefit of the discoverer, the en-
rlChment of thousands of others and to the greater glory
of Nevada.
That is why the heavy snowfall of last week, as re-
ported from Tonopah, is so important. There was not
enough water to talk about at Tonopah when Jim Buffers
mule went astray, and the only sign of it at Goldfeld was
at Rabbit Springs. But that was something, and it meant
the building up of great mining communities in what had
previously been nothing but unending tracts of sagebrush.
Perhaps this late storm may mean another Tonopah or an
other Goldfeld.
August PaulSen, once a small dairynan in the Occur
dAlene mining district of northern Idaho, last year re-
ceived an income of more than half a million dollars from
a Occur dAlene mine in which he has a little more than a
quarter interest. For several years Mr.. PaulSen has been
deriving enormous profits from the famous Hercules mine.
He built a skyscraper in Spokane with some of the earn
ings, erected a veritabe palace on the south hill, and re-

The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-05-15

In the tentative compromise arrangement, subject to
stockholders ratification, between the Booth and Jumbo
tx, looking to the ending of their apex suit, there is ground
for general congratulation. The geological talent en-
ployed by the Jumbo Elk. comprised ONE of the best
specialists on apex questions and the legal talent included
some OF the foremost apex attorneys in this country.
With that array the Jumbo Elk. could have put up a very
stiff fight. Although the engineers advised the company
that the geological contention of the plaintiff was we'll
effect the best settlement possible with the Booth, the
attorneys saw ground for representations in a court of
equity. With the ever-present chance of winning on a
fluke and the aura of luscious fees, both legal and expert,
to seduce judgment, the usual procedure would have been
to advise their clients to proceed. The reverse was done.

ADMITS VISIT TO GIRLS ROOM

CHIEF LANG'S silly explanation of his wine
~ partycabaret girl eScapade, made public today,
emphasizes his scandalous unfitness for ANY
responsible position.
THE CHIEF ADMITS EVERY ESSENTIAL
CHARGE AND STATEMENT MADE BY THE
STAR HE HAD TO. HE WAS CAUGHT RED
HANDED.
But the chief of police lies, AND HE KNOWS
HE LIES, when he says The Star held this infor-
nation as club on him in any way. The Star
he should enforce the law impartially, protect de-
cency and eliminate brutality in the police depart
ment.
The Star never even knew about Langs night
in Tate's cafe and the Farmoun hotel when It de-
manded full investigation of the brutality charges
against Officers Phillips and Collins
The Star did not promise Lang, as he in
timates TO say nothing about the cabaret girl affair
ii he would fire these two patrolmen. The Star
never made any statement TO Lang or any demand
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1915-08-21

that he did all these things because he wanted TO
find out if certain police officers were Spying on
him. Any peace officer who saw Lang emerge
from the cafe, and meet the cabaret girl, and 90
with her to the Farmount hotel at O'Clock in the
morning who would not be curious enough to fol-
low him, would not be human.
Just how Chief Lang could detect enemies"
and "Spies" by sitting at wine table and having
a girl drink with him and his friends, is not plain.
It's also mystery just how the chief could detect
spies by remaining for nearly an hour in the
room of the cabaret girl on the third floor Of the
Fairmoun hotel
II, also is a bit confusing TO note that Lang
says none in his party was drunk while Mayor
Gill explains that Lang in Tate's cafe attempt
ing to keep couple of our prominent citizens
quiet"
1ANG'S "EXPLANATlON," ABSURD ON
IT'S FACE, is A CLlNCHING ARGUMENT FOR
HIS REMOVAL. MAYOR GILLS DUTY IS
