Lumber Bill for New
Smelter Delivered to Con-
tractor Today.
New Hoistine Plant of Greatly
Increased Capacity to Be
Erected at Once.

Active work on the construction OF
railroad from Copper Flat was COM
meneed this week by the New York
ana Nevada Copper Company, and q
force of men is now engaged in the
vicinity OF the Keystone grading for
the new line. The eoadbed Is being
constructed along the mountain side
south of the Keystone buildings, and
the indications are that either an cleo
trio or steam service will Shortly be
established between Ely and Copper
Flat.
An itemized order for the dimen-
sion lumber for the new smelter has
been completed, and will be delivered
to Contractor K. C. Davis today.
Mr.. Davis has found 1t necessary 10
erect another saw mill about eight
miles distant from his present plant in
order to handle his contract With the
New York and Nevada Copper Com
pany, and with a daily capacity OF
u, 600 feet, is confident that he will
have no difficulty in getting the lumber
on the ground within the time speei-
fed.
In addition TO the other improve
ments which the company has in hand,
plans are now being prepared for a
large new hoisting plant at Copper
Flat to take the place OF the present
one, which is no longer adequate to
meet the demands upon 1t. The new
building viii be more than double the
size of the present one, and it is to be
equipped with powerful machinery Of
the best make.
In the mine the work of sinking the
main shaft has been resumed, and In
the shaft. as well as in the different
drifts. the same good showing con-

FALL CAMPAIGN is OPEN.

The Fall campaign may be said to be
formally opened In White Pine county.
Notice OF the meeting OF the Democrat
ic County Central Committee for the
purpose OF selecting delegates to the
State convention and the liking of the
date for county convention to be held
later. appears in this issue of the NEWS.
The campaign promises to be an nn-
usually warm one, aud u Is gratifying
TO note that IL Is TO be conducted on
party lines, rather than on The free
and-easy. go-as-yon-please principle
which has been 10 vogue here for sew
eral years past.
Candidates who are nominated OPEN
ly In convention go before the people
with the recommendation Of eonsld.
erable portion OF their fellow-eitizens
that they are competent 10 perform the
duties of the offices for which they are
named, and, IN a general way,
their respective parties become re.
sponsible for their official acts after
they are elected.
Let us hops that the campaign will
be so conducted that when il IS over
neither party will have occasion to be
ashamed of the part they took while
the battle was raging, aud that each
individual will keep in mind the golden
rule-"Do unto others as you would
have others do unto YOU

ACTIVITY AT CHAIRMAN.
A Steady Stream OF Ore Passing
Through the BIC Plant.

The experiments made by Mill Super
intendent Wickham in treating the
Chairman ores, description of which
appeared In these columns few weeks
ago, have proven SO entirely sat.sfac-
tory that the six large teaching tanks,
and two of the settling tanks above,
with capacity of 100 tons each, are
now In use, and the fact that actual
assays OF the tailings dumps show
values OF less than IS cents, is proof
that the percentage OF extraction is as
high as could possibly be reached by
any known method.
The steady stream of ore that is pas
sing through the miltand the excellent
work done in the mine by Foreman
Fred Butler Is most encouraging, and
the present activity about the proper
ty is 10 striking contrast to what one
was accustomed to see there under the
previous management.
New boilers have been ordered for
the hosting plant, and 1t is the evident
intention of the present Board of d.
rectors to spare no effort in putting
the plant in first class condition. With
this determination firmly fixed, and
with the large bodies OF ore blocked
out, there is no question as to the sue
cess OF the enterprise, for Mill Super
intendent Wickham has demonstrated
that he can extract the values, and
that, too, at cost much lower than
has ever be fore been figured upon.

to properly handle and deposit the
mail along the route.
The Department does not prescribe
any particular design of box or satchel
to be used for this service, but the per-
son providing either should see that 1t
Is OF such character as to afford ample
protection to his mail. II there is lock
att ehed to the box, a key Is not to be
held by the carrier, as he is expected to
deposit the mail without the necessity
OF unlocking the box. The box or
crane should be SO located on the road
side that the carrier can deposit the
mail without leaving his vehicle or
horse, and yet not where 1t will OBJ.
struct public travel.
Tha carrier is not req uired to collect
mail from the boxes, but there Is no OBJ
jection to his dong so II IL does no inter-
fere with his making the schedule time.
The law provides that every carrier of
the mail shall receive any mail matter
presented to him II properly prepaid by
stamps, and deliver the same for mail
ing at the nex0 post Office at which he
arrives, but that no fees shall be- allow
ed him therefor.

required by the contracts effective July

He was arranged before Judge
Weber at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning,

Reeves appearing for the prosecution
and Chas. A. Walker for the defense.
Mr. Walker asked for time to consult

l o'clock, bail being fixed at $500.
The defendant was unable to secure
bail and remained in jail until his
case was called on Wednesday, when

they were unable to agree and were
thereupon discharged. The case will

Inmate.
Jas. Trevaski was arrested in China
town on the afternoon OF the Fourth by
Sheriff Newman and Deputy Watson
on the charge of selling whisky to In-
dams On being taken before Justice
Weber the following day the prisoner
was bound over to await the action of
the Grand Jury, his bail being fixed at
$500, in default OF which he is the guest
of the Sheriff at the co unity jail.
The witnesses were Punch Indian,
Frank Indian, Henry Indian, and Dep
uty Sheriff c. W. Watson, and the ev-
idenee went to show that Trevaski wis.,
tied the tenderloin district and treated
couple of squaws and an Indian
from the contents of bottle of
whisky, afterward selling the remain
der to another Indian for the sum of
fifty cents.
The nun who sells whisky to Indians
in Ely is certain to regret it. Sheriff
Newman seems to be in telepathic COM
munieation with all offenders of this
kind, and Judge Weher's invariable
rule is to bind them over to the Grand
Jury in the sum of $500.

THE M'KINLEY MINES.
Shaft Has Reached q Depth of
3I5 Feet.

The shaft in the Saxton has reached
a depth of 315 feet and the work of
cutting a station Is now In progress.
The formation cut by the shaft for a
considerable distance has been highly
mineralized and gives every evidence
of a big ore body underneath. Assays
even now show good values In gold and
traces of copper and it is the intention.
as soon as the station is completed, to
resume sinking and test the values
underneath.
A new and larger MOIST has been
ordered for this property and the
work of development will continue to
be pushed forward energetically.
