LAW RESULTS
IN LABOR TROUBLES

Chicago. Oct. 10.-Reports from
various sections of the country indi-
cate clearly that the Adamson wage
law, which has been mendaciously
termed "eight-hour law" is already
bringing about additional labor
troubles. Railroad men who were not
included in the wage increase are
being met with refusal on the part
of the railroads to grant an increase
in wages on the ground that the add
ed expense involved by the Adamson
law makes an increase in wages to
the great majority and poorly paid
class of railroad employees impos-
sible. st. Paul car men are approach
ing a decision to strike, and reports
from Kansas City are to the effect
that $4,000 members of the six rail-
road crafts have decided to go on
strike as. result of the Adamson
law.
Railroad officials decided at a pre-
vious conference they could not
grant the demanded increase of five
cents an hour because of increased
operating expenses forced upon them
by congress in the Adamson law. AS
counter charge, union workmen ash
why they are not entitled to an in
crease when members of the -four
allied trainmen's organizations were
accorded higher wages.

The Best Way TO Hill the Ticks
is, TO Kill the Cows.

KNEW an old lady once who allowed the
hens to set in the closet of her house, and
when the hens came in they brought along
the mites.
When the hens Matched out the eggs and
left, many of the mites remained, waiting for
the next batch of hens
And it came to pass that the old lady de-
cided to kill out the mites, by setting fire to
the abandoned nests
Accordingly, she stuck a match to the nests
in the closet, and the bright and ready man
ner in which they blazed, was cheerful, in
deed.
But when the flames finished the nests,
they wanted more substantial food; and they
put their red tongues on to the boards sur
rounding the closet.

"The Right of the First Night

WRITING from Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, a member of the Y. M. G.. A says:
Dear Sir: Roman Catholic friend declared
recently that the charges against the priesthood

the Roman Catholic layman who denies any
of the more secretive practises of the priests.
If the laymen were not honestly deceived,
the priests would have to flee for their lives
from the wrath of these duped laymen.

will explain the Jus pa'ima0 m0ctis, or Right

negro women.
AS everybody knows, the Feudal lord in the
Dark and the Middle Ages was very often q
priest.
Hence the right of 'defowering the bride"
fell to the bishop, or archbishop, or the car
dinal.
In that manner, the Feudal 'right'' en-
tered the Roman church, ust as the slave
gangs did.

Under strict Feudalism, the landowners
paid their rent to the overload by military
service; but, after WHILE the service in arms

In some places, the first born son was not
the heir of his mothers husband, and the
reason given us in the books is, that the first

The Spanish friars, going to the Philip

them custom prevalent in Europe, and
continued to practise it after it had been
seemingly abandoned in Europe.
Captain Sommerson's statement as to the

to me, but his sincerity in the matter cannot
be questioned.

j.. j. Mccarthy, representing Oat-

lease on the Black Mammoth group
of six claims in Manhattan and is
proceeding rapidly with prospecting
to decide what is the best point
for the location of a working snait
and the installation of a large sur
face plant.
The Black Mammoth was former
ly owned by Eugene Sullivan, who
is now visiting Salt Lake, and Mark
Kittering of Manhattan. The group
is regarded as one OF the best 10

ing placed $4,000 to their credit
from operations. The locality has
been the source of some of the

some prospecting the source of these

former work was done by tunneling
in a fault but the new management
proposes to prove the merits Of the
claims by sinking a shaft with the
object OF finding the ledge in
place.

TURN TO GOLDFIELD

One Of the leading cub brokers
of New York is sending the fol
lowing to his clients, regarding the
position of Goldfield stocks:
The turn seems to have come in
the Goldfields. Without warning,
the whole list showed a strength
ening tone and it is believed that
the whole Its is now headed 70:
higher market levels. The success
of the flotation process means that
millions of dollars worth of ore
hitherto considered monumental
will now be treated at a substantial
profit, and a profit in which mum
erOus companies will share. The
new rate on Jumbo Ex., pres will
shortly go into effect, and the pros
rect of increased earnings Is a
factor in an advancing market price
Of the shares.
During the long decline in Gold
field issues the stocks have passed

of a renewal of youth is the Dris-

months and it is now responding

already extracted between 80 and
40 tons, and several more carloads
will follow.
j. II. Sailing is another opor-
ator who is doing things in Ga

r ready for shipment and one
of silver-lead ore extracted from
the property he recently acquired
from Marvin Countess. These
properties are now owned by Stall

ERA OF PROSPERITY
FOR NEVADA MINING
RENO WRITER DECLARES FL
TURE OF INDUSTRY IN THE
STATE is BRIGHT

That Nevada is on the eve of an
era of unprecedented prosperity,
greater even than that of the boom
days of Goldfield or of the Com
stock, is clearly evident when fun
damental conditions are studied,
says the Western Miner. There is
scarcely a mineral that is not found
in Nevada in greater or lesser guam
titles. Practically all of these min
erals are today selling for much
above the normal price of years,
with the exception of silver, and
the rrice CT that metal has now
started en- the upward swing with
everything to warrant the belief that
il will continue Il dc so.

the attention from the investing
public that their merits justify. But

Of things last much longer. In
fact every passing day shows an
increasing interest and before the
summers sun is at it's hottest, we
are likely to experience the GUST
ling days of 1906-07.
Even now the increased mining
activity in the state is surprising
except to those who are keeping in
close touch with the different
camps. AS the snow disappears
from the hills, and the miners and
prospectors a get to work in
places where it is now impossible,
this activity will grow. And with
the influx of eastern money that Is
bound to come with the realization
OF the opportunities for profitable
investment in this state, Nevada will
add to the worlds wealth ama2-
ingly.

AUSTIN SEES
GOOD FUTURE

The Reese River Reveille de-
clares that the long period Of quiet
ness which has hung owe Austin is
going to be dispelled, for last week
artesian water was found at the
very doors of Austin in the Reese
river valley, and a rich strike was
made on the Austin Manhattan min
ing property.
The artesian water was encou
tered at a depth of 206 feet and
a steady flow of Sc gallons a min
ute has been obtained. The Reese
river valley contains thousands OF
ceres of fertile land which only
need water to transform the spot
into an agricultural paradise.
Con Cummins, an Austin miner,
recently obtained a lease on the
Eclipse west extension of the Aus
tin Manhattan properly. After
orking about a month running a
tunnel he encountered a streak CT
silver ore about an inch in thickness
which has gradually widened to a
width of from 10 to IL inches. The
best of the ore runs about 1900
ounces to the ton.

MINING RUSH
FROM AUSTIN

Tuesday morning a party of min
ers started in automobiles, heavily
pr~ovisioned, to work a property in
the Washington mining district, To-
Gated about 35 miles from Austin,
in the Reese River valley. The
ledge which has been found is said
to contain gold, silver and lead and
the present indications are that a
very rich deposit has been encOun-
tered there. The district is an old
one and has furnished many rich
workings in former days, but tho
vein which the party expects to
work is a new one, having been
but recently discovered.
The party is SEN out by the Ne
vada Gold Mining company, a local
organization. Those composing the
party we're j. l.. Madden, mining
engineer; John b. Dunstan, former
ly of the Austin-Manhattan, who was
in charge of the men; George Cor
