CRUSADE AGAINST SUNDAY SLEEPING.
Church People at Milton Find the Town De
serted Sunday Morning.

The people of Milton are about to be
stirred by a crusade against Sunday
sleeping. AS late as o'clock on the
Sabbath, so many of the young and
old residents are sound asleep that the
chance visitor thinks he has struck the
deserted village"
The whole town, almost, has con-
tracted the habit of Sunday indulgence
until the church people are well-nigh
exasperated because the people who
should form their morning congrega-
tions slumber so deeply and so long
that when they arise at noon they in
variably complain of feeling badly.
Few, if any of the young women of
the town ever occupy places in the
morning worship, while practically
none of the young men are ever seen
among the Sunday morning worship
pers. This contagious love of the
Land of Nod has caused the active
church people to start this crusade, and
the singing of evangelistic hymns or
the street is suggested as the remedy

BIG Robust Assessment.

Notice of Assessment No. 10 of cents
per share was served this week on the
stock kholders of the Ely Mining Il Mill
ing Company, same to be payable on
December 2sth. Local stockholders
we're not looking for that kind of a
Christmas present but are taking their
medicine with the best grace possible.
In a statement issued by the Board of
Directors the following reasons are CIV
en- for the heavy assessment at this
time:
1st. The cost of the new mill, which
has exceeded calculations;
End. The expense of driving the tun-
mel, which is to connect the mill with
the old workings-a distance of about
700 feet of which about $50 feet is now
completed.
Bird. The well, which has been sunk
to furnish water Tor the mill, has proven
"A much more expensive piece of work
than estimated.
All of the work has been pushed Wig
orously during the past two months,
resulting in heavy pay rolls.

which it has bonded offering, however,
to expend liberal amount for develop.
ment work. The Riepe claim is entire
ly undeveloped, but adjoins the Brooks
aud Pilot Knob claims, on which Mr.
Jennings and his associates are engaged
in doing extensive exploration work,
and the fact that they are buying ad-
joining properties for cash would indi-
cate that they are we'll satisfied with
the results thus far and mean to stay.

THE SENATORIAL RECOUNT.
commissioners Concluded That
They Lacked Authority.

The recount OF the vote for State
Senator in this county came to a sud
den termination last Thursday morning.
When the Board met at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Walker make statement that he
had acted as attorney for Mr.. Greene
only so far as he believed that he had
a right to act without infringing upon
his duties as District Attorney, but
that owing TO the criticism which had
been aroused, he had withdrawn alto
gether from Mr.. Greene's employ.
Mr. Greene, who was personally pres
emit, then stated to the Board that he
had filed protest with the County
Clerk, which reads as follows: To a.
L. Stearns, ESD, County Clerk of
White Pine County, Nevada: Please
take notice that | object to and pro-
test against any person or persons ex-
amining or handling the ballots cast at
the last general election in this county
and now in your possession and under
your control, unless upon an order from
court ofcompetent jurisdiction or up.
on resolution OF the Senate of the
State of Nevada. Signed, Chas. Geene,
an elector of said county, chosen as
Senator for the ensuing term of -four
years for said White Pine county at
the general election held Nov 6, 1900. p"
This protest Immediately raised the
question of the right of the Commis-
i sioners TO make the recount at this
time, or whether Mr. Comins lost his
right by failing to apply Immediately
after the Official canvass. The matter
was argued pro and con, Mr. Comins
and Mr. Decker taking the position that
he had not lost his right, and Mr..
Walker advising that he had. The
Board concluded that Mr. Greene''
protest was well taken aud concluded
to suspend proeee dings.
There the case rests. Mr.. Comin'
still has the right to petition the Dis
trict Court for wift of mandamus t.
compel the Commissioners TO re-coun
the ballots, or he may carry the cas'
directly to the Senate on contest, bu
whether he will adopt either remedy W
are not informed.
