THE ROBUST MINE.
Interesting Interview with Mr.
". p, LYNN.


The Robust Mill has fairly started
on It's work Mr.. Lynn, Of Salt Lake
city, Treasurer of the Company, and
one OF the stock -helders, is in town and
informs us that the Mill is running per-
fectly, and that its capacity is as great
as was indicated by the projectors. He
is very much pleased with the Mill in
every respect; and now that he has
seen 1t, and has witnessed it's working,
he can appreciate where the money
spent on its construction has gone.
Much OF the lumber used in the build
ing was brought from Truckee, and
shipped here by way of Toano. These
magnificent distances all add to the cost
Of construction. The Mill cost, per-
haps, all told, $40, 900.
The work of loading the first tank
was begun on Friday last. About 200
tons OF ore have already been crushed,
and is ready for the tanks.
An important surface development
has been begun and is now going on.
This development begins just East of
the old Whim house. The ore which
has been taken out, SO far, from seve-
raj different points, assays the hand :
some sum Of $40 in gold.
They have also struck new lead in
Stopping, lately, which bids fair to de-
velop into something rich, as the work
goes on.
II would be too much to expect, of
course, that such ore as is spoken of,
above, can be indefinitely mined. Ma
ture has seldom piled her treasures to-
gether in such quantities. But the in
dications in the Robust all point to an
average production of between slS and
800. This will be sufficient to make a
great and paying mine of the Robust.
The actual number OF men required
to run the Mill, and attend to its wants
Is only ten. But as the development
work goes on, more men will be requi-
red in the mine; and Mr.. Lynn thinks
they will soon be able to employ forty
or more miners.
By the way, Mr.. Lynn is himself,
thoroughly conversant with mines, and
has been in the mining business the
best part OF his life. His Judgment,
therefore, is not that of a novice, but
more in the nature OF an expert.
The people of Ely are all anxious for
the Mill Company to succeed to their
utmost expectations. The prosperity
Of the mine means, to certain extent,
the prosperity OF the town.
Mr.. Lynn suggests that the Robust
and the Chairman adopt the same time
and thus set the time for the town. He
suggests the adoption of local time,
and the News agrees with him thor
oughly.
We congratulate this Camp,
beg pardon, this town,-on having
such an enterprise as the Robust so
near at hand.

Increasing Value OF Silver.

Commenting on the report of the
combination of mines and manufactur-
ing plants In the United States, Lon
don Statist remarks. "Apart from
the possibility of great silver mining
combination and the effect on the price,
there is the prospect that the price may
gradually improve, as result of the
worlds normal consumption. The
Indian Government is obliged to pur-
chase fifty millions of silver annually,
and the demand for China will possibly
be larger than hitherto. With the
norman demand and the subsidiary
coinage for trade purposes, the con-
ditions warrant the opinion that silver
will promptly command higher level
than witnessed n recent years.

Robust Assessment Paid.

Delinquent day at the offices Of the
Ely Mining company found the assess
ment paid on practically every share
OF stock and the treasurer jingling
nearly s15, 900 in his capacious pockets.
This practically winds up the era OF as
sessments, said a prominent share
holder, as the new mill Is now ready to
begin the pounding out Of gold dollars,
OF which many thousands are exposed
In the mine, and from which dividends
are promised before the close of the
season. In the equipment of the pro-
position Hon. o. J. Salisbury. E. d.
Thompson, w. P. Lynn and others
have spared no expense, and the career
Of the proposition should be an exem-
plary one.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Miners may be Benefited.

Eastern mining journals believe that
the transfer of the controlling interest
In the Southern Pacific company to the
Union Pacific will result in good to the
coast miners. This idea Is based on the
past policy of the Union Pacific. There
are certainly many grievances of which
the miners of Nevada have complained
when dealing with the Southern Pacific
company. Claims have been aban-
doned because the owners thereof
could not afford to pay the freights
imposed upon them. This is an old
story to Nevada, but may be new
enough to the Union Pacific manage
ment to carry to it hint that the con
ditions of the past can be greatly i'm
proved, and to the advantage OF both
the mining interest and the transpor-
tation lines. For instance, the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal, published
in New York, taking long-distance
view of the miners under the new re
gime, says:
"The Union Pacific people have usu-
ally shown disposition to encourage
the interests tributary to their road.
1t is to be hoped that the narrow pol
icy of looking only to immediate profit
and exacting the highest possible rate
which the Southern Pacific company
has persistently followed under the
Huntington management-will now be
abandoned for more liberal and far
sighted plan. u
In this wish there will be no excep-
tions among the miners of the Pacific
coast,

RELATIONS WITH CUBA.

The Senate Committee on Relations
with Cuba has provided for the dis
position of Cuban affairs. The propo-
sition was prepared by the Republican
members of the committee, and is said
to be satisfactory to the most of them.
The proposed amendment recites the
so-called Teller amendment to the
Spanish war resolution, and then gives
the President authority to withdraw
the troops from Cuba when in his
judgment the provisions of the Teller
amendment are realized. The propo-
sition embodied in the proposed amend
ment include the following points,
That the United States shall have
supervision of all treaties with foreign
countries made by the republic of
Cuba.
That Cuba shall not undertake to
pay the debt incurred by Spain in her
war with Cuba prior to or after the in :
tervention of the United States.
That Cuba shall agree either to lease
or to sell to the United States such
coaling or naval stations that in the
opinion of the President of the United
States may be necessary to the pro-
lection of the intereses OF this coun-
try.
That the United States shall have
sufficient supervision of the laws of
Cuba relating to sanitation to protect
this country from epidemics liable to
originate there.
1t is understood that a draft of the
constitution containing these provi-
sions was submitted to the President
and the Secretary of War and that
they expressed approval of them. The
minority members of the committee ex-
pressed themselves as willing to come
to an understanding upon these gen.
eral lines. They insist, however, upon
many verbal amendments.

CHERRY CREEK ITEMS.

Application for a license has been
forwarded to the County Clerk, to au-
thorize Judge Kelsey, to unite in mar
riage, James McCreery and Miss May
Martin, on the 9th inst. We hope the
young couple will be as happy in the
realization, as in the anticipation, and
will sail through a long voyage OF
welded life happy and prosperous.
There are other marriages in prospect
in the very near future.
We regret that Mr.. w. C. Gallagher
has been the subject OF very much suf-
fering since his accident at the fire.
He will probably be incapacitated for
business for several weeks. He is re-
ceiving the best possible treatment
from DR.. Townsend and his nurses, at
Adolph Sund berg's residence.
Notwithstanding the calamity of the
fire last week the spirit of our citizens
is undaunted, as we all know we have
mines of great wealth, which await
development. The only requirements
are money and good management.
We notice that gasoline lamps in
some OF our business houses have been
replaced by kerosine lamps, and are
not likely to be used here again.
Fortunately Nevada Hall was saved
as report says there will be ball on
the 18th. The lodging houses were
saved so there will be the usual ac-
commodation for visitors.
Mrs. B. F. Miller was very badly
used up after her heroic fight, hand
ling water, but the pleasure of home
and store, saved from ruins, brings
her up smiling to wait on customers.
Charley Lento has purchased the
building on North Main ST., from Mrs.
Meeks, and has reopened his res
taurant.
Mr.. John B. MCGEE came in from
Muncy and has been under DR.. Town
sends care for the past week. We
hope he is improving.
p. II. Cannon has fixed up his store
and rearranged his goods saved from
the wreck. Fresh supplies are ordered
to complete his stock.
Ira Mcknight returned from a visit
to Ely to find his house and shop badly
demoralized, from the hasty removal
of his effects, but Industrious hands
have Strengthened matters.
William Sheeks and Abe Kooken are
progressing rapidly. Their injuries,
while very painful, are not so serious
as Mr. Gallagher's.
Vim. Sheeks is being cared for at
Nuckels residence and receiving all the
attentions possible from old friends.
An omission was made last week in
the account of the fire of Miss Mary
Cochran, who especially distinguished
herself She slid out of her ball-dress
and turned herself loose, packing wat
er and fighting fire on top of B. F.
Miller's store and other buildings,
never quitting till all danger was
over. Lucy is made Of the right stuff,

1t is estimated that the wreck at
Mill City will amount to loss of $40, :
900, 1t is said to be the greatest wreck,
in loss of property and lives, that ever
occurred on the G. p. railroad.
