MOTHER OF NEVADA
MOURNED BY NATIVES

TONOPAH, New, July 22.-(U. P0
The state of Nevada is still mourn
ing the recent death of Mrs, u mes
Il. Butler, known as "The Mother of
Nevada
Mrs. Butler died in San Jose re-
Gently. She was the wife of James l..
Butler, who made fortune out of the
Mizpah niue. and started the rush
which brought fortune to many others
IN the surrounding district.
For many years Mrs. Butler had
.ramped about the state with her hus-
band, miner and prospector,
Through long years of hardship and
loneliness in the Nevada desert She
battled the elements with him, and
shared W tn him both his misfortunes
and good fortunes,
In 1900 she and her husband had
left their home in Monitor valley and
were enro lite to the Klondyke district,
They started out with two burros,
hitched to a blackboard, and camped
at what IS now known as Tonopah
Wells, folr miles north of here.
The borros strayed away, and Mr,
and Mrs Butler put in four days in a
futile search for them. Butler had
| started the last day from what is now
! the main street of Tonopah and
| searched along the road leading to the
4 divide.
| His wife walked from the Tonopah
| Wells distance of over four miles,
| and went over what is at present
! known as Mount Oddie, where she be-
| came exhausted.
Sitting on great cropping, she
picked off with her hands what look
ed like mineral bearing rock, Her
Ehusband finally, came into view, and
she called to him. He had found the
burros.
'Jim,' she said, what do you think
of this roek%' He examined it care
fully.
"It is the greatest mineralized rock
in the world" he replied. They inn
mediately staked a claim, and she
choose to call it "Minopah."
After attaining fortune, Mrs. But.
Ter became known for her works Of
charity throughout the state. She was
friend of rich and poor alike, ant
despite her fortune never forgot the
humble friends of the days when she
and her husband roamed the Nevada
deserts looking for pay ore, and made
friends with the hundreds of prospec-
tors who were doing likewise.
She died in San Jose at the age Of
61, at the home of her mother. Hei
husband, a son and daughter, and her
mother survive her. Butler always
gave all credit for the discovery to his
wife. ~

UP COURT DECISION

4 SAN 4MATEO. Cal. July 22.-(U.
P.)-That the Southern Pacific is to
have strong opposition from certain
parts of the state in its campaign to
line up commercial and civic bodies in
favor of re-merger of the Southern
and Central Pacific systems, was in
dicatsd here when the Peninsula Bur-
eau of Chambers of Commerce
through p r. Thompson chairman
of the transportation committee an
nounced its support of the Supreme
Court RULING unscrambling the two
systems.t The Peninsula body favors
the sale of the Central Pacific to the
Union Pacific, in order to create COM
mon rail competition on the Peninsu-
la.
Thompson declared that the SUI
preme Court looked into and ruled on
all the arguments of the Southern
Pacific now being presented to the
California piIblicisand handed down
decision against the Southern Pacific.
He declares that it should be unneces-
sary to support the supreme court"
but that 'in view of the campaign be-
ing waged by the southern Pacific, it
is necessary to make the position of
the Peninsula plain
The maintaining of the Central Pa
cific as separate road, or else merg-
ing it with the Union Pacific, would
allow rail competition on the PENN
sula, via San Jose and the Dumbarton
bridge, he declares.
1--WE believe that this decision of the
Supreme court means the greatest
era OF prosperity in the history of
Central and Northern California, for
it awards the public free and unfet-
tered railroad competition, which is

without mentioning his name for
