Good Work for Goldfield People. To the Editor op I’he News: lu u quiet, unassuming way, the Rev erend Father Gleeson lias been steadily promoting an interest in tin worn lie lias undertaken in setting up a temporary place of worship for the Oathol c people of Goldfield. A few outside parties hav ing interests in this district, and several of Father Gleason’s pars m il friends who have no interests at all in the camp, have generously come to his aid. With these gifts, together with the amount which there is every reason to expect the good people of Goldfield will lie willing to con tribute it will be possible to start in building at any early date. The good work taken in hand by this earnest, self sacrificing priest, should appeal to all who take an interest in the up-huil(liug and growing welfare of the town, and gain for him their hearty co operation. Though of delicate physique, Father Gleeson lias, on occasion, taken oil' his coat, and help-d with his own hands in the actual work of repairing onj church and building a new one in other parts of his wide mis-ion. Stand in with him and lend a helping hand. Constant Reader.

The number embraces oniy 7 who are too young to attend school, llie blank form sent out by the authori ties being the criterion. It may surprise many win* know (lie population of the camp to learn how few children, compar ativeiy, are here, but it must be remem be red that the majority of the meu have not yet brought in their families. It took some hustling on the part of .Mr. Robin son to get the list as complete as it is. Episcopal Services. Rev. Samuel Unsworth, of Reno, held Episcopal services in the office of Lind & Collins last Friday evening After the services he stated that he came here at the request of the Bishop to look over the field, and it is probable that on his advice a clergyman will be appointed who will divide his time between Gold field and Touopah for the present. A collection, amounting to So.00, was taken up. but was turned over to the Ladies’ Aid Society. While here Rev. Uns woitli was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Wadleigh. Unjustly Accused. Early last week Earl C. Dart, a young man who lately arrived from Goldfield, left here on his way to Yosemite, and rode a horse turned over to him by Les ter Laird, says the Bishop Register. The animal belongs to Mrs. Birehimof Round Valley, but right to its use is claimed by Laird under a lease. Mrs. Biichim caused the issuance of a warrant for Dart for grand larceny, and he was brought back from Long Valley by Walter Young, deputy Sheriff. At the hearing Friday, before Justice Uhlmeyer of Big Pine, presiding by request of Justice Shannon, the evidence adduced showed no criminal intent whatever on Dart’s part, and he was discharged, being un questionably wholly innocent A “Doubting Thomas” Converted. U. S. Revenue Collector Blakeslee has returned from Reno from au official trip to Tonopah, Goldfield and other south ern points, says the Reno Gazette. He reports the population of the new camp of Goldfield as steadily on the increase. The camp now has five or six mines pro ducing shipping ore, running from §200 to §1000 per ton. The camp is looking fine, much better than Mr. Blakeslee ex pected to see if. he having taken the stories of the camp’s riches cum grauo sclis. Died on the Desert. A special to the Reno .Journal says: “Dennis Whalin, construction foreman for the Salt Lake roail, while riding from one construction camp to another in Devil’s Playground, became lost, and after three days’ wandering, during which time not a drop of water passed his lips, he crawled into a cave, where he was found by two prospectors, W. A. Taber and E. Marrs. The prospectors were attracted to the cave by the pres ence of a man’s coat. They found Whalin crouched in a corner demented. He had dug into the sand until his fin gers were raw and nailless. They started with him toward Manvel, expecting to be able to reach that point with him, but death came before they had peuetrated into Ivanvah Valley.

A young man known as Martin, a re cent arrival from Tonopah, struck Haw thorne last Monday, says the Bulletin. In the evening ho procured a lot of poker chips and opened a game in one of our saloons. The game ran all night. At 5 o'clock Tuesday morning he had sold outstanding about SUM) worth of chips. Then he excused himself, saying that he desired to go out for a moment. He went, leaving the chips with the players. But he forgot to return and redeem the chips, and up to this time nothing has been seen of him. The principal victim is a Goldfield miner. He has his pockets full of chips, but he cannot cash them. The finest of job printing at this office. Excursion from Reno to Tonopah. A movement has been started in ‘Item, tending to run an excursion over the new Tonopah Rhodes railroad as soon its that line is completed into the bonanza camp, says the State Journal. There is no doubt but what the event would be a grand success and it is already assured that the people of Tonopah would give the visitors a royal welcome, lieuo has gained much from Tonopah and it is no more than right that the people of this city should join in celebrating the com pletion of the new road, an enterprise that means so much for the future of the camp _ Tallest Govenor Union. Govenor John Sparks \>f Nevada, known widely as the tallest executive that inis ever sat in the gubernatorial chair of any state in the Union, quietly arrived in Denver yesterday to pay a long deferred visit to H .H. Hake, propri etor of the St. James, whom he has known for many years, says the Denver News. After a day or two here Gover nor Sparks will go lo St. Louis to look over the Sagebrush state’s display at tlie exposition. A Salt LaKer Pleased. Arthur Murphy, of Salt Lake City, who recently visited Goldfield, has re turned to his home and according to the Tribune, speaks most favorably of this district. Of results achieved at the Jan uary by Zeb Kendall of Springville, Utah, and his associates, Mr. Murphy says “they are phenomenal, and each of the lessees should draw out with a for tune.” 1 HB.
