JUDGE TABER WOULD
ACCEPT NOMINATION

When questioned this morning as to
the purported statement that he was
not in the race for justice of the Su-
preme Court to succeed Judge Nor
cross, Judge f. J. L. Taber stated that
while he was not, and would not be, an
active candidate, that if rendered the
nomination by the Republican party
that he would accept
He said that with a number of cases
before him of gigantic proportions, in
fairness to his present position he
could not make an active campaign,
but if rendered the high honor by his
party that he would be pleased to ac-
eopt the nomination.
Judge Taber is eminently fitted for
justice of the Supreme Court, having
graduated from one of the foremost
law colleges of the United States, and
having served a term as district at
torney, and six years as district
judge. If nominated he would be hard
TO beat, as he is exceptionally popular
besides being qualifed.-Independent.

Thomas Valentine Purcell is the vio-
li1ist who was chosen unanimously by
the three hundred members of the
American Guild of Violinists to play
upon the violins entered in the tonaI
contest before that great body of art
lists. More than twenty violins were
tested, and their aggregate value was
over $11, 900. Mr.. Purcell was chosen
Tor this arduous task because he is uni.
versally acknowledged to be the peer
of nearly all artists in producing a
full, beautiful tone from almost any
violin. He played upon the instruments
blindfolded and the test was absolute

ed upon each oil the violins. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that one

CLARK COUNTY GYPSUM
DEPOSITS OF GREAT VALUE

Prof. ]. C. Jones, geologist of the
University of Nevada, came in last
evening from Las Vegas, where he has
been examining the gypsum deposits of
that district in connection with gem
eral investigation of the states re-
s'uIces in this line.
The Arden Plaster company has a
Mill at Arden, about IA miles south
west of Las Vegas, with a daily ca
paeity of 200 tons This mill was es-
tablished about eight years ago. An
other company, controlling certain de-
posits, was organized but has done but
little development work and has never
provided a mill or reached the state of
actual production.
Professor Jones says there is an area
of approximately ten square miles in
tho Las Vegas district within which the
gypsum deposits are found, the deposit
being the hydrated sulphate, sedi-
ncntary deposit of salts from the wa
ters of the sea which once covered the
entire state and western slope of the
continent
Gypsum is also found near Ludwig,
in Smith Valley, south of Gerlach, in
Washoe county; near Loveloek, in
Humboldt county, and at MOundhouse,
in Lyon county The only producing
plants however, are at Arden and
Moundhouse. both Of which are large
producers. The Arden plant supplied
the plaster for 10 of the buildings Of
the Panama Pacific and San Diego ex-
positions.
1t is understood the geological sur
vey at Washington is contemplating a
report on the gypsum deposits of this
state and the data Professor Jones is
collecting is for the purpose of this re-
port.-Goldfeld Tribune.

PRESENT TARIFF
BRANDED UNFAIR

The Underwood tariff was branded as
unfair and sectional by the Utah Wool
Growers association that was in ses-
sion in Salt Lake City last week, in a
resolution that passed Wednesday af-
ternoon, and Peter G.. Johnston of
Blackfoot, Idaho, in his address declar-
cd it was the most selfish piece of legis-
lation on the statute books of the Unit
Cd States.
Defeating an effort made by w. d.
Candland to remove harsh words from
the tariff resolution as drawn by
committee headed by John G. Mackay,
tie convention went on record as pro-
testing against the present tariff law,
favoring the adoption of suggestions
made by the nonpartisan tariff board
and the enactment of reasonable tar
iff on wool
The war on coyotes with the attend
snt campaign against the threatened
advent of rabies in Utah was discussed
and the association went on record as
fsvoring the use of every available
means to destroy coyotes. The new
president was empowered to appoint a
committee, of which he is to be an ex-
officio member, to cooperate with state
and federal officials in the campaign
which is being launched against the
providers. The same committee will rep
resent the Utah association at the con-
vention of the national association.
Speaking at the afternoon session ON
the question, "Should there be a tariff
on wool9' Mr.. Johnston took the posi-
tion that there should be a tariff not
only on wool, but upon every product of
the western states He said the sheep
and farming industries have become so
closely interviewer that what affects the
farmer also affects the woolgrowers.
Wool he regarded not as a raw mate
rial, but as a finished product.
"The United States treasury needs q
tariff on wool far more than the sheep
men do,' said Mr.. Johnston. "The
sheep men need the tariff. SO also does
every other industry.
"The Underwood tariff law is not
success. The war is given as the reason
but it is not the reason. Before the out
break of the war it was in operation
about year and fell short 5000, 900
month in producing revenue as COM
pared with its predecessor, the Payne
Aldrich act ......
| "I brand the Underwood tariff law
os the most supremely selfish piece of
legislation on the statute books of the
| United States, not because wool was
placed on the free list, but because the
west was dealt with unfairly.
The eastern manufacturer is pro-
tected, but the western producer buys
on protected market and sells on a
free trade market This applies to the
woolgrower the miner, the lumberman,
the farmer.
"The law violates the fundamental
principles of American freedom, which
Is that all classes and industries be
treated alike. 1t also violates the prin-
eiple that we should take care of our
own. Should not the American market
be the American farmer?
"Wool is not raw material, but a
finished product representing twelve
months of toll and study.
"Organize and get the sinews of
war. Put some money in your treasury
SO that when questions of legislation
are to be considered the sheep men will
be represented as some industries of
lesser Importance are now represent
ed.''

Nearly Loses His Life in Storm

Al II. Tilford, bookkeeper for the Ne

hae lost his life Sunday night in the
storm that completely snowbound the
Rochester district for two days, had it
not been for a rescue party, headed by
Superintendent X. Freitag Of the Ne
vada Packard, who went in seaeh of
the man when he did not return to
camp on time.
Tilfoya was found in an exhausted
condition, completely blinded by the
snow and so bewildered that he was
walking around in a big circle, little
more than mile from the Rochester
mill.
1t took Freitag and the man who ac
eompanied him from Packard, almost
four hours TO get Tilford back 20 camp
Freita carried Tilford most of the dis
tance on his back. Freitag was thor
oughly exhausted when he reached
Packard, due to the strain of carrying
Tilford and wading through snow
above his knees.
Tilford went to the railroad Sunda'
afternoon to get some supplies. He
had gone less than two miles en- route
home when the snow became so deer
his machine became unmanageahle. AT
ter fighting drifts for several hours
Tilford decided to abandon his car IL
lighted the lamps, it then being dusk
and started afoot for the Rochester
mill
In the interim Freitag set out from
Packard TO find the man, fearing he
had been caught in the storm. Wher
they came upon the half buried ear
and saw the lights, they called Justify
