CARSON CITY, NEVADA, MARCH 6, 1906. ANOTHER SUGGESTION DEATH OF CAPT. JOE DEATH OF JACK WALL THE MACKEY STATUE THE MORNING APPEAL. Dr. Stubbt Would Have the Statue at the University Dr.

Stubbs, in a letter addressed to Controller Davis urges the new Mia-ing Building at the University as the proper place for the Borglum statu of the late John Mackay. He says: Let me say In the beginning that we have no desire to take away any-tuing from the Library Building at Carson, if you think that is the proper place for the statue of John Mackey. Our mining laboratory, which has been finished this year, presents in Washoe Chieftian Goes to the Happy Hunting Ground Captain Joe, chief of the Washoe Indian tribe passed to the happy hunting grounds yesterday morning. Tic has been ailing for several days, presumably from pneumonia, and passed away at his campoody surrounded by half the tribe, who wlffc the medicine man have been watching the progress of the disease. The medicine man the death or the cause, and as a failed to deliver the right charm an I consequence his many friends and the the Washoes are without a heil i sorrowing family are at a loss to Takes His Life While on the Way to Manhattan The many friends of Jack Wa 1 in this city were shocked early yesterday morning to learn that he hai killed himself Sunday afternoon at Rye Patch stage station about fourteen mile3 North of Tonopah.

Tin telegram that announces" Te terrible deed was shrt and gave no details of council. Captain Joe, was a Washoe Indian ways been the friend of the man and advised good behavior an i sobrieity among the tribesmen. Al the late polace conference Captain Joe sealed the difficulties tne Washoes and the Piutes a ru i-ning war that had been existing for a number of years. He was a clean cut Indian and a preTTy good one that. The siirnal ft'res are burning on he admirable form everything that goes unusual ititeligence.

He has al to make up a practical and the j-retical education. I think that wUj this laboratory we can give our students the very best education that is possible, combined with practicil work in the mines of Tonopah ani Goldfield. Now, at present, the mining building does not offer a suitable place fo-the statue but we have been considering for several Weeks past a pl.i:i to enlarge the mining building at cost of about for the building and $10,000, for the equipment. Th's plan contemplates putting everythi that pertains to mining under oi? enclose here with a pen sketch of the building which you will interested in, I am sure, and will gie careful consideration to this important department. We think that advance of the state in mining an geology makes adernand upon th? University for a building and ment.

that leads everything else v.i the University. In short, that th place the cause of the death. That he shot himself is all that is known, and the body will be brought to this city this evening, where the Masoas will take charge of the remains. Jack, left for Manhattan Fridcr morning, where he had secured a position on a leases owned by Gardner Helm and Knoblock. He was in the best spirits he had shown in many months and all of his friends believed that the change would do him gooa and give him a chance in a new section, where Tie was acquainted wit.u hill Lops and all of the tribe "will ")e i many of the mine owners and vi in this city when the funeral tak-s3 place.

Many of the Piutes will aln Tie on hand when the time corner, l.ere will also be another big meeting to select a new chief of the tribe. o-o Big Strike on the Pine Nut News was received from Manhattan yesterday of a great strike on th3 Pine Nut claim. No details are at hand as To the size of the ledge or the values, but H. H. Clark, who has jusi returned from Manhattan, states that it is believed to be one of the most mining school sohuld be made, as jur important strikes ever made in the lawmakers designed it.

to be the leading feature in the mining and geological Interests of the state. No. what would be more suitable than a building finished in a chaste an 1 plain style of architecture and a 10-tunda for the statue of John W. Mackey, represented as a miner. It occurs to me that it would be mo-B appropriate than to place this stat le in the libraryeither at Carson or tre University.

As you have taken the leading pat in securing this gift, please let hear from you as soon as may be co l-venient to you. Very cordially yours, J. E. STUBBS, President district.
