 Credit for No Money
 Down.
 The customers who trade with Us never wear cheap clothing. They buy on cred 1t because in this way they can afford to wear the best. If they wanted anything cheaper than what we sell they could spare the cash to pay for it, and would not need credit.
 We would not sell cheap and inferior clothing-lst, because VIC do not cater for this cheap trade; 2d, because the goods would fail to prove or wear satisfactorily, and, as we would lose our trade, we would have to offer a commission or some other scheme to get them to come back to trade with us again. We do not believe in that kind Of . business, as we have an established trade, and we will only sell goods that will give entire SatiS- faction--so that our custom CTS will be pleased 10 come again without any other in- ducement than that they can buy the best Clothing here lower than elsewhere, and on easier weekly payments. We are not afraid to sell the class of customers we have our nice high priced Clothing on Credit for No Money Down.
 Some houses require Big. Deposits and Big Payments on their high priced goods.
 Our Thanksgiving Sale was the greatest in the history of the Credit Business, and our great Christmas Sale is now going on, which bids fair to eclipse all others. Don't fail to attend this great sale.

the exception of tie teaching tank level,

a busy one, while underground the

cHINAMAN ARRESTED
All Lee Is Charged With Selling
Whisky 70 Indians.

On Monday evening of this week
Sheriff Newman arrested All Lee, a
denizen OF Chinatown, on charge
of selling whisky to Indians, and appar-
emily has pretty strong case against
the Celestial. For some time past IL
has been suspected that this particular
Cinnamon was doing thriving busi-
ness In this line, but evidence sufficient
To warrant his arrest was lacking.
On Monday, however, Sheriff New
man conceived plan for capturing
the Cinnamon, which proved entirely
successful. He gave a marked fifty
cent piece to an Indian with instruc.
tions to go to the abode OF the Celestial
and buy bottle OF whisky, and when
the red man emerged from the house
the officer sea rched him and found the
liquor in his possession. The Sheriff
then went inside and from the China
mans pocket drew forth the marked
coin.
The arrest promptly followed, and
on Tuesday the prisoner was taken be-
fore Judge W. II. Tyler, who bound
him over in the sum Of $500 to await
the action OF the next Grand Jury.
The Chinaman has not yet furnished
bail, and it Is believed he will be an IN.
mate of the county jail until the next
term OF court

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
Almost Unanimous in Favor OF
the New Schoolhouse.

At the special election held on Mon
day to decide as to the levying OF a
special tax for the purpose OF erecting
new school building in Ely only 50
votes were cast, OF which 81 were in
favor OF the proposition and against.
j. B. Mathewson, A. j. Cartwright
and G. b. Parker served as Judges of
election, and promptly certified the re-
suit to the Board Of County Commis-
sioners, who will authorize the leyying
of special tax upon the property of
the district sufficient to raise the 500
necessary to commence the work.
1t is the intention Of the Board OF
School Trustees to begin operations
without delay, aud 1t is hoped to have
the building enclosed before the Fourth
of July, at which time it Is proposed TO
give dance therein.
The law places no restrictions upon
the Trustees as to how the work shall
be done other than the plans must be
approved by the County Superinten-
dent, but it is quite probable that the
building will be erected by days labor.

KIMBERLY RETlRES.
And Work on the Pilot Knob is
Temporarily Suspended.

During the past week instructions
have been received here from p. L..
Kimberly Of Sharon, Pa, who held a
300, 900 bond on the Pilot Knob, di-
recting that the pump be removed
from the mine and all work on that
property be suspended for the present.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Kimberly's
reason for this step is that he has too
many mining enterprises on hand and
being compelled TO drop some of them,
selected the Pilot Knob ON account of
its remoteness from the railroad.
But Notwithstanding Mr.. Kimberly's S
inability to carry out his contract in
this camp, work In the Pilot Knob will
be resumed shortly, and within few
months IL win be proven conelusively
that the Pennsylvania man made a
brilliant mistake in dropping that
property, for it is understood he will
not be allowed TO hold the group after
work stops
This step in no way affects the other
parties interested In the Pilot Knob
group, and in the Morris, recently
purchased by Messrs. Giroux and Sned :
aker, Senator Clark's experts, the
work is being pushed energeticaly.
While the Paul Brothers say they
are not in position just now TO give
out any information on the subject, 1t
is evident that they are not feeling de-
pressed at Mr.. Kimberly's withdrawal,
but on the contrary are cheerful aud
confident.
Right here it may be stated that there
are couple OF other enterprises under
way in this camp, which, when they
are made public, will make Mr.. Kim
berly s operations look like fifteen
cents

CHAIRMAN MACHINERY
1t Is Coming Via Eureka Instead
OF from Toano.

Va - OhA Oe"o+
1t had been understood for some time
past that the machinery and supplies
for the new Chairman mill were to
have been shipped here via Toano. but
it now appears that a different arrange
ment has been made, whereby all this
freight will come over the E. &P. Rail
road to Eureka, the understanding be-
ing that Superintendent G. d. Abbott
OF that road has agreed to deliver it on
the grounds here at a specified price.
That the change has been made is
evident from the fact that the first car
load of machinery and hardware
reached Eureka this week and was at
once loaded onto freight wagons and
started for Ely. 1t was further learned
that a. ]. Spencer, who claims to have
contract with the Hardware Com
pany to haul this freight from Toano,
now threatens to bring suit against
them for damages, alleging that he has
gone TO considerable trouble and ex-
pense In getting his horses and wagons
In readiness to do the work.
However, this is matter, in which
the Chairman Company is not directly
concerned, for the Salt Lake Hard.
ware Company's contract calls for the
machinery delivered and placed in po-
sition, and whichever differences have
arisen between that company and Mr..
Spencer must be settled between them.
