NO NEWS FROM MAFBKING.

LONDON, March 10Th, 2:15 P. NJ
Neither the advance by way of Four
teen Streams, nor Col. Plumer's move
ment has yet resulted in bringing news
of Mafeking' S relief; FROM Bloemfontein
and Natal there are apparently no SER
ious developments and interest remains
centered in Col. Paden -Powell's force,
undistraeted by events OF greater mill
tary Importance. However, it appears
likely that the converging of the troops
toward Mafeking indicates much
more serious purpose than merely its
relief. Judging from Lord Methuen's
presence at Warrantown and the cap
ture of the nearby passage of the vaal
at Fourteen Streams, keen observers
believe that Lord Roberts meditates an
advance in force on Pretoria by way of
Rnstenberg. This might start either
from Fourteen Streams or Klerksdorp
and would probably coincide with an
advance via Bloemfontein and Natal.
Thus Lord Methuen may be given a
chance to redeem his reputation, as
has been done with General Gatacre.
Commandant Olivier has accom-
plished another step in his retreat from
northern Cape Colony, evacuating
Rouchville and going towards Kron-
stadt where President Steyn is.

LOOKING FOR A MILLSITB.

Jas. Atkins, millwright from Salt
Lake City, arrived here last Thursday
in the interests of the Ely Mining and
Milling Co., which is considering plans
for the erection OF new cyanide plant
for the reduction of the ores in their
properties here. After spending cou-
pie of days looking over available mill
sites, Mr.. Atkins left Sunday morning
for Seligman, to inspect the machinery
in the Seligman mill, which we under
stand the Company contemplates buy
ing. if it is found to meet their requir-
ments. Mr.. Atkins is expected back
here to-day but the decision of the dir
ectors will probably not be made until
his return to Salt Lake City.
A small draft was made last Saturday
on tho force At the mine, which, how
eyer. Superintendent Marx informs us
will he only temporary. The limit to
profitable development work with the
present shaft and hosting plant has
been nearly reached, and a double-oom-
partment working shaft with a gaso.
line or electric hoist will be one of the
first Improvements to be made by the
Company. Work on the shaft will
probably begin within the next two
weeks.

A MAMMOTH COPPER LEDGE
What Developments at Copper
Flat are Showine--Good Pros
poets at DeIker District

Supt. Jos. Bray returned last Friday
from his trip to Butte valley. He
speaks very highly Of some of the cop
per prospects in Delker district, one of
the most promising being owned by
Messrs. Odgers. Edwards and Crooks.
The ledge on this claim can be traced
for the entire length OF the claim, is 10
feet wide and has been opened up to
depth of 35 feet Some of the ore is OF
"A very high grade and viii pay to ship.
Concerning the work on the Star and
Calumet group in this district, OF which
he has charge, Mr.. Bray informed us
that the crosseut is now in about l6 #.
from the bottom OF the l00-foot shaft,
and he expects TO find the ledge from
200 It. to 200 II. wide at that depth.
His estimates are based on the extent
OF the surface groupings which literally
cover acres, giving Copper Flat its
name. 1t has always been the general
ly accepted opinion among local miners
that this deposit OF copper was sort
OF blanket formation on the surface,
that it was too big to go down. The
recent development work on the prop
erty, however, entirely disproyes that
theory. A series OF shafts have been
sunk to varying depths and in no case
have they run out Of ore. Tho grade
naturally varies, but considerable
quantity carrying as high as 40 per cent
copper has been taken out in doing de-
velopment work, while the average OF
the entire deposit is OF smelling grade.
There is little prospect that smelter
will be- built here this season, but Mr.
Bray is expecting orders any day to
greatly increase the force OF miners at
work on the property, and when
smelter is built, it will be OF sufficient
size to place this camp in the FIRST rank
as a producer OF the red metal.

HOW TO TRAVEL.
Information for the Public.

In selecting your route to the East
you cannot afford to overlook the ad-
vantges and comforts offered by the
Rio GRANDE WESTERN RAILWAY in
connection with the Denver 4 Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland Rail-
roads. 1t is the only trans-continental
line passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse it
affords of the Temple City, the Great
Salt Lake, the Salt Palace, and the
picturesque Utah Valley,it offers choics
of six distinct routes to the East and
the most magnificent scenery in the
world. A double daily train service and
through Pullman Palace and ordinary
sleeping cars, free reclining chair cars
and perfect dining car service are now
in operation via these lines.

. THE EUREKA MAIL SERVICE.

A movement was started here last
week to have the stage schedule be-
tween Eureka and Ely returned to what
1t used to be prior to 1897, making tbs
mails from 12 to 20 hours later in reach.
ing this place than under the present
schedule. Stages which now arrive
not later than II A. NJ. on. Sundays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, would not
arrive under the old schedule until the
/ following mornings, while the stages
which should now arrive by 8 p. NJ. on
Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays
would also be delayed until the next
morning. 1t is needless to say that the
majority of our citizens were not in
favor of such change and it is not
likely that any further effort viii be
made to carry it through.
There is good reason for dissatisfact.
ion with the irregularity of the mail
service from Eureka, as il has been con-
Quoted during the past winter, but we
do not believe that the above change is
the proper remedy. 1t would not only
result in inconvenience to our business
men by increasing the time required to
get letter from railroad points, but it
would also cause an actual loss during
the summer season In the shipment of
green fruits from California. There is
certainly nothing to be gained by hav-
ing mail and express matter lie over
night in Eureka, when 1t might as well
be on the road for Ely. We are al
ready far enough removed from the
outside world without voluntarily iso-
lating ourselves the more. When we
make change it should be for the bet
ter and not for the worse.
The present schedule, when strictly
complied with, works all right. During
the past week the mail has been coming
regularly, and we can see no reason
why 1t should not continue to do so.
The schedule reads that the stage shall
leave Eureka Immediately after the
arrival OF the train from Palisade, (due
at p. NJ. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays but not later than 3 p. NJ;
and Immediately after the arrival of the
stage from Palisade, (due now at 1890
p. NJ. but not later than 500 the fol-
lowing morning"
The mail always leaves Eureka
promptly after the arrival OF the train,
but formerly the blackboard from Pal
isade was often too late in arriving at
Eureka to have the mail distributed
the same evening, making it necessary
for the Ely stage to wait until the next
morning to get the mail We are now
informed, however, that the buck board
is getting into Eureka on time every
night, and the mail is distributed, so
there is no excuse for the Ely stage
hereafter In not leaving the same eve
ming, arriving here on the following
evening, as 1t has for the past week.

An Indian known as "Wild Charley"
went on a drunk in town last Friday
night and with some other Indians ere
ated considerable disturbance on the
streets. Deputy Sheriff Weldon landed
him in jail and on Monday he was ar
raigned before Judge Tyler on a charge
OF disturbing the peace, convicted, and
sentenced to 20 days Imprisonment.
There has been an unusual amount OF
drunkenness among the Indians here
lately and this Charley is particularly
dangerous when full of whiskey Arc
the people of Ely going to wait until
some such tragedy as that which was
recently committed in Lander county
has happened in our midst, before they
put stop to this damnable traffic?
The local officers seem powerless to stop
it. The citizens have got to take a
hand in this matter II they would pro-
tect their homes, their wives and their
children.

DIR. Hammond of Eureka passed thro'
town last Monday night, in response To
a call from DIR. Ascher at Cherry Creek
to assist in an operation on Mike Gen.
eski, the unfortunate man who was hurt
at the Star mine last Saturday. The
doctor returned last evening and re-
ports that the patient is doing well and
that the amputation of his leg will prob
ably not be necessary.
A letter received last week by Com
missioner Gallagher from his son Guy,
who is at Sumpter, Oregon, stated that
Thos. O'Neil died of pneumonia at that
place about two weeks ago. The de-
ceased was well known in this county,
where he resided for many years, and
had only recently moved to Idaho from
Cherry Creek. He was a native of
Wisconsin and So years of age at the
time of his death.
Unless there come some heavy spring
storms, the ranchers on Duck and
Steptos creeks will have to face drier
summer this year than last. A. b.
Mcdonald, who resides on the head
waters OF Duck creek, was in town last
Saturday and stated that there is not
more than one-sixth as much snow in
the mountains of that locality as there
usually Is at this time OF the year. Old
timers state that the winter just past
has been the dryest in this section since
1879.
Adolph Sundberg came in from Cher
ry Creek last Sunday evening in com
pany with II. Jacobson, the popula"
drummer. Dolph's arrival was great
surprise to his many friends here, who
believed him to be still following paths
of pleasure in the "effete East" Dur
ing his six months absence from White
Pine he has visited not only the prin-
cipal cities of the eastern States, but
crossed the "big pond |" and spent about
six weeks at his boyhood home in Got
tenburg, Sweden, which he had not
seen for thirty years.

DISTRESS IN PUERTO RICO.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Adjutant
General Corbin received a cable mes
sage from General Davis, commanding
the Department OF Puerto Rico, saying

are being made in the Subsistence and
Quartermaster Generals s department to
meet this requisition as promptly and
regularly as possible.

but an amputation may yet be deemed
necessary.
The masquerade ball at Cherry Creek
last Friday evening was one of the
largest held in Cherry for many years.
Socially and financially it was pro-
nounced success, and although there
we're not a great many maskers, there
were many pretty costumes and well
sustained characters. AS there were
great many more spectators than mask
ers, masks were removed early and
everyone took part in the merry max
ing until the blowing of the whistle at
the Star mine the next morning bade
them cease. From eight to ten sets were
on the floor for nearly every quadrille.
