OUTLINES CHANGES
IN LEGAL PRACTICE
Huston Thompson Addresses
George Washington Law
Students.

Characterizing Washington as the
greatest legal workshop in the
world, "a city that offers more op-
portunities for the struggling stu
dent than any other on earth." Hus-
ton Thompson Of the Federal Trade
Commission addressed more than 200
members of the George Washington
University Law School, at the ninth
annual dinner of the institution, al
Rauscher's, last night.
Mr.. Thompson stressed the value
of a legal education, regardless OF
whether the student followed law as
d profession or drifted into other
fields of labor. He outlined the vast
changes that are occurring daily IN
its practice, and said that he was
not afraid to predict that in the near
future the successful law school will
send it's students on shop visiting
tours, just as technical and economic
schools do.
THE necessity for this is becoming
clearer every day, through the in
crease in the types Of forums in
which the lawyer must appear II ne
would be successful in his calling,
he said. TT is customary to hear
great deal of criticism of government
by commission, though l think the
name is somewhat of mlsnomer
and MANY good citizens believe this
is but a passing phase and Will soon
disappear.
Com missiOns on Increase.
Despite their opposition. this
growth of commissions in our states
and federal governments, is on the
increase.
Almost unconsciously the members
of our profession are being trans
formed from legalists to gatherers
of facts and analyzers of the same.
Our fathers sat in their offices and
had the problems with all the at
tending circumstances brought to
them. Today the problem in the form
of symptom is presented to the
lawyer. He is what in medicine is
termed diagnostician. With the
symptom indicated, he must find the
facts for himeself in order to presen,
them to the court or commission.
Our law school must then take into
account this new type of forum.
The speaker said further that no
where in the world did the student
have a better opportunity to study
ence today than here in Washington
and added that while he might be re.
garded by some as an optimist, hi
refused to listen to the claim of some
that there was an overproduction Of
law students.
There is room for you ALL" hi
said, .'and as sure as you persevert
and keep apace with the times, jus'
that certain will all of YOU reach
the coveted goal of success"

GOV, REILLY ASKS QUICK
REVIEW OF CHARGES
Wants officials to Take Up Grand
Jury Claims-Newspapers
Urge Him to Resign.

By the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. April 8.-Gov.
e. Mont Reilly has addressed a letter to
the attorney general and the district
attorney. asking them to give immediate
attention to the report made yesterday
by the grand jury charging irregu-
Iarities against the governor and other
offlcials. Gov. Reilly declared in his let
ter he had full confidence in complete
exoneration.
Some of the local newspapers express
the view that while Gov. Reilly is right
in taking this attitude, yet that it would
be better under the circumstances for
responsibility, the judicial officials be-
ing left free to act impartially in the
meantime.
The district attorney has not yet
taken the action proposed by the grand
Jury.

"PIRATE" CREW LOOTS
BARS IN BAHAMAN PORT
Heavily Armed Men Land From
Strange Boat and Get Away
With $4,000.

MIAMI, Fla, April s.-Shades Of
pirates bold, once regular inhabitants
Of the waters off Florida, hovered
over the Bahama Islands this week.
Several days ago strange boat
manned by five or six men sailed up
to West End, Grand Bahama, and cast
anchor at convenient distance. so
the story goes. as told by a local
shipping man who returned today
from the island. Not long afterward
it approached land and moored safely
to a dock in such way that quick
getaway could be made. The men,
unmasked, but heavily armed, saun-
tered about the settlement. They en-
tered the liquor house of Carter de
Gregory, lined up the proprietor and
all within, collected $4,000 and
stripped the place Of arms.
Boldly walking out, they entered
two other places in which they bound
and gagged the attendants. They got
about $4,000 more. hurried back to
their boat and showed off to sea.
Bahamans are of the belief that the
bandits were Americans.

which eomprizes the Company's
principal development work. the
tramway is being oyerhauled and the
new traction rope is being placed in
commission. To replace the old
cable about four miles of new rope
will be used The total length of the
tramway, extending from the Bristol
Mines to the railroad loading station
at Jaekrabbit, the present terminus
of the Phoebe Pacific Railroad, is ap-
proximately 5000 feet.
Manager f. IL. Snyder, who is now
at the property, states that. in driv-
ing the crosscut from the May Day
hssure drift, a cave, thirty feet in
length has been opened up. This
cave is filled with carbonate ore of
shipping grade. This territory is
virgin ground and is intensely min
eralized. For distance of 200 feet
along the strike of the ore channel
and for width of from fifty to sixty
feet, the entire country, after sort
ing out the lime, which occurs in
small horses, makes profitable
shipping ore body The ore is es-
sentially silver lead product with
small copper content and at the
present time shows no signs of chang
ing to sulphide state. In the
opinion of Manager e. II. Snyder,
the water level will not be encoun-
tered until depth of at least 500
feet below the mine bottom is reach
ed, an when such sulphide zone is
reached the ore should experience a
secondary enrichment.
The Bristol Mine has an assured
future, assured on account of the
large indicated ore tonnage it pos
sesses, and with the gradual de
creases, the present aim of the eff
lciont management, in the cost OF
mining and transportation, steady
profits should be made by the Bris
Ton Silver Mines company during IL
ensuing wear.

On The 900 foot level of the Bris-

ing magnitude ana the drift to the
south of the shaft in the hanging
wall of the May Day iissure has pass

Crosscutting of this orebody at right

The shaft work which has been

DR.. ]. D. CAMPBELL
DIES AFTER LONG
ILLNESS

DR.. j d. Campbell, for more than
40 years a practicing physician and
surgeon in the Territory and State of
Nevada, died at his residence in
Phoebe Sunday morning, January
Sth.
Doctor Campbell had been aflict-
ed with very acute heart trouble
for nearly a year In March Of, last
year he was in Salt Lake City for
consultation with speSiaiisSs and Tor
a time after his return seemed to be
improving but later his trouble be-
came more acute and his condition
more alarming to his family who
insisted upon his making another
trip to consult his doctors which he
did in the early autumn.
The consultation offered no hope
of recovery and the Doctor returned
home to spend his last days in pa
tient endurance and waiting.
AS a skilled physician with years
of experience and practice he fully
realized his condition and his in
ability to do for himself what he
might have done for another less ad-
vanced in years.
Doctor Campbell was born in the
e OF Michigan sesveral years be-
fore the civil war. having seen the
first light of day in the town of Hart
land on the 9th day of July. 1853,
being 6S years, 6 month and 30 DAYS
old at the time of his death.
AS young man he attended the
schools of his native state, finishing
at Ann Arbor, graduating from the
Medical College with the honors OF
his class on March 16th, 1879
The attractions of the great wes'
were most alluring in those days ant
DR.. Campbell followed the call
which landed him at Cherry Creek
White Pine county in 1881, wher,
he took up tie work of his life's pro
fession, marrying Miss Maggie Lea
high of Taylor, Nevada, in 1887
moving to Phoebe July, 1892, wher,
he had since made his home, build
ing up a large practice extendin,
over Lincoln and adjoining counties
In 1902, while performing an opera
tion for cancer the Doctor contract
ed blood poison, from which he los

same year This sad misfortune prov
ed a great handicap in later year

In 1906 the Doctor was first elect
ed to the state senate. serving tw
terms and one extra session, maxim

Lieutenant Governor he was calle
to the chair, presiding as Presider
of the Senate one whole session. T

At the annual convention of I'll

Highways question now under gen
eral consideration in every part of

tage OF the assistance proffered by
the Federal government to the com
munities that show a disposition to
help themselves it is necessary to
act promptly to get the moneys to be-
come available during the next bi-
annum. The point of interest to
Phoebe and to Lincoln county is the
establishment of and building the
Secondary Highway connecting
Phoebe with Ely, closing the gap in
the Sunshine Highway by its con-
tinuation through Caliente, making
connections with the Union Pacific,
and on to the Sunshine Highway on
the sonth, making connections with
Los Vegas, thus closing up all of
the gaps in the Sunshine Highway
throughout the state of Nevada.
In order to expedite the matter
and to get it properly before the
public a committee, consisting of c.
A. Thompson, Il. X. Orr and j. S.
Amsden, was appointed to take up
the matter of correspondence and
set in touch with the Commercial
Club at Ely, and to take up any cor
respondence that would lead the club
