Before the great Mohawk strike, which set the country aflame, business in Gold field was pursuing an even tenor, the railroads were handling traffic reason ably well, and although the town was full of people, everyone was com fortably housed and there was plenty to eat and drink. But as fall and win ter set in, the whole country seemed to pour into Goldfield, and just as the storm of the past few days broke upon the town, there was an influx of peo ple that fell upon Goldfield like a swarming of bees. They poured in up on a town that was already full to overflowing, and In the midst of as : fierce a storm as ever swept the flinty i wastes of a Nevada desert. It was pit iful and cruel, and, of course, there »as suffering and sicknesB and death. There have been many deaths in Goldfield the past month or two, more, perhaps, than people generally know about; but they have not been in such numbers as have been reported. The death rate during the worst of this prevailing storm has averaged not more than four per day, as against 20, as reported. At one time there were 14 bodies at the morgue, but that cov ered the mortality for several days. But these deaths did not result from any inherent viciousness or depravity of the climate. Nevada's climate, on ; the whole, compares very favorably with that of Colorado, famed the world over for its salubrity. The trouble at this particular time, was that the peo ple were not prepared for such a sharp storm, and there were more peo ple than accommodations. Exposure resulted, either self-imposed or una voidable, and with hospitals full and other haven for the sick to be nursed back Into health, many deaths naturally resulted. But in many cases, death was traceable to reckless ex posure or loose habits of life. Some of our many visitors seemed to think the people of Goldfield were to be held responsible in some way for their discomforts, as if they had been invited here to a great circus, their money taken and then turned adrift without shelter or other enter tainment. In fact, several informal in dignation meetings were held, encour aged by the hysteria of a "tenderfoot" newspaper, to denounce the people of Goldfield for not having built hotels and fine restaurants for them, as if all that the pioneers came here for was to discover a gold camp and build a city all in preparation for their com ing. With all respect to these, our new-found friends, we beg to say that the pioneers of this camp came into this desert to mine. They were min ers, and not hotel kepers. They did not come to build a tropical garden, or a summer resort, nor have they ever advertised this camp as such. They were no more under obligations to di vert their money intended for mining to the building of hotels and other util ities, than the preachers to build brew eries. It simply was not in their line. But hotels were built, and good ones, too, but unfortunately, they burned down. Now, these self-same gentle men who have come here to speculate in mining stocks and run newspapers and things, have the same opportunity to serve their fellow men of the future Goldfield, as the old-timers had, and they are under the same obligation to turn in and spend their money build ing hotels as were the pioneer miners. Some aay in the future there may be another storm, and there may be more people than accommodations. Get to work, gentlemen. It makes no differ ence what your occupation, or how you want to use your money. It is the way you ought to use it, for in time the tenderfeet may "cuâs" you, too, for the lack of hotel facilities and bad weather. In the meantime, however, the storm will blow over, new railroads will be built, more homes and hotels will go up, the water and sewer sys tems will be completed, the freight question will solve Itself, and we will all he happy again. Let us be thank ful it is no worse, and try to cultivate the spirit and fortitude of the pioneers of Goldfield, and thus help in contrib uting our part, to the making of the greatest gold camp on the foot stool of the Almighty.—Goldfield News.

Those at an Engllah Seance Created of Pink Stockinet. Dramatic and startling accounts of the exposure of a spiritualistic me dium and hiB manager appear in the current number of Light, the official organ of spiritualists. Dr. Wallace and Mr. John Lobb, both ardent Spiritualists, are respon sible for the exposure, and the cul prits are Mr. Charles Eldred of Not tingham and Mr. Elite, his manager, whose "nefarious trickery" was laid bare at a mèetirfg held on March 5 at the house of Mr. Ronald Brailey, Baywater. The week previously some interest ing phenomena were said to have tak en place which astonished most of the sitters, one of whom was suspic ious of the chair and cabinet used by Mr. Eldred, the medium. Subsequently Mr. Brailey examined the chair, which had been left at his; house, and found that it had a secret compartment at the back, and also ai keyhole deeply embedded and well covered up by the plushette material. He communicated with Mr. Lobb, who had been one of the circle, and Mr. Lobb communicated with Mr. Wal lace. A key was made which opened the lock, and a photograph was taken showing the secret compartment, which measured fifteen inches. "We determined after this discovery to put a stop at the next meeting to any further fraud," Dr. Wallace says in the course of his article. "I was asked by Dr. Lobb( who had to go out of town) to arrange a meth od of trapping the culprits. Several of the sitters at the approaching sit ting on Monday were informed of the discovery. I asked one or two good Spiratulists to be present, and I knew of a good clairvoyant who arranged to assist. "The seance having been opened in the usual manner, a search of the med ium was made and the chair was par ticularly noted. It was found that the stuffing of the back of the chair was more pronounced, and the sensitive referred to, Mr. Drew, on psychomet rizing it, assured those present that it contained some very suspicious ar ticles which must have been placed there just before the seance. : i ; The key was used and the uphols tered panel In the back of the chair fell forward, the space being com pletely packed with articles necessary for faking 'spirit forms.' "It was then found that the secret recess contained a collapsible dummy head, made of pink stockinet, with stockinet gummed over the holes); the loose stockinet was doubtless usel to represent the shrunken skin at the neck; six pieces of flte white China silk, containing in all thirteen yards; two pieces of fine black cloth i doubt les used In the so-called dematerial Izatlon); thre beards of various shades; two wigs, one white and one gray; and extending metal coat-hang er for suspending drapery to represent the second form, with an iron hook on which to hang the form; a small flash electric lamp with four yards of wire with switch, which could be used when the medium was away from the cabinet to produce so-called spirit lights within; a bottle of scent, pins, etc. "As soon as the members haa gone into the seance room, I anticipating any difficulty there might be in deal ing with the culprits, entered the house, accompanied by a sympathet ic and most shrewd friend who is a member of the public detective ser vice, and entered the room just as this discovery was made. "When he was challenged about the fraud, Mr. Eldred confessed his guilt, and handed over the key of the secret compartment. "Instead of charging the two indi viduals we tempered with merey our sense of horror, disgust and Indigna tion at such Infamous proceedings. I requested the return of the money taken, which I must say was prompt ly done, and I confiscated the dum my articles, which are now in the of fice of Light for inspection. "I hope this discovery will prevent further attempts to prey upon the most sacred feelings of their fellow mortals, many of whom have hitherto been their too unsuspecting dupes. ' Mr. Lobb states that this Is the sec ond materialization medium he has helped to expose within the past two months. "When and where Is this 3ort of business to stop?" he asks.— London Express. i ; ; J| ; | % FIRE! FIRE!
