Must be HOOdoOed

There seems to be something wrong
with the bones of the Elko baseball
club. A few weeks ago Hayden Hen
derson broke. the bone of his right
arm in. throwing the ball in a prac-
tice game and yesterday w. R. Hyatt,
the pitcher for the Elko club in the
game with the Ryndon boys, broke
his right arm while pitching. The
first and second innings had been
played and the Ryndon boys were at
the bat in the beginning of the third.
Mr.. Hyatt was in the box pitching
along as usual when the bone of his
right arm snapped just above the ell
bow and the ball flew off to one side.
He was taken to his home at once
and DR.. Hood was summoned and set
the arm.-Carson Appeal.

SAPHO AT ELY
Vein of Copper Ore Attracts
Attention

The Mining Review of Ely, New,
gives the following fiattering account
OF the Sapho mines, in which DIR. p. s.
Keogh and other Salt Lake parties are
heavily interested:
Although a depth of but thirty-six
feet has been reached, it shows a
three-foot vein of ore that assays %
per cent copper, with foot streak
alongside that shows values better
than s12 in gold and silver.
In the new shaft a big vein of cop
per ore has been encountered, gigan-
tic specimens from which are now on
exhibition in Manager p. C. Weber's
Office in Ely, the assay values rang
ing from 20 to 80 per cent copper
and $S to $40 in gold
In the tracing of the ledge across
the property a rabbit rendered valu-
able assistance during the winter.
The little animal, in burrowing into
samples of copper-bearfhg rock, and
these, attracting the attention of Mr..
Cripps, the foreman, prompted him to
do some prospecting at that point.
The result was the encountering of
the same ledge found in the shaft
at a distance therefrom of about 300
feet. This corroborates the theory
which Manager Weber has entertained
for some time, and it has been decided
to sink on the ledge, and extend the
tunnel, which is now in $50 feet, to
connection with the shaft.
Samples of Sapho ore sent to G. C.
Robbins, assayer and chemist, San
Francisco, showed values as follows:
Silver, 80 ounces; gold, SIG; total
value, S34.60.
Another sample sent to Louis Falk-
enau of the same city gave $2604 in
gold and $20SS in silver.

FUNERAL OF
LOUIE FOOk
Chinese Customs Observed
in the Interment of the
Aged Monaghan
MUSIC WAS NOT LACKING
An Album d ance Of Eata bies Were
in Evidenee-Briqh Coiors
Predo minated

Louie Fook, the aged Chinese who
patial, and mention of whose illness
was made in the Silver State few
days ago, died yesterday and his fu-
neral was held this afternoon, in ac-
cordance with the customs of the race.
The funeral is the one absorbing
topic of interest to the Chinese today,
from the country and surrounding
towns. The hut where Louis Fook
passed his last hours is decorated
covered and almost hidden with gay
colored banners, streamers and flags,
in which pink and red predominant.
There was but one that had any re-
semblance to an American badge of
mourning in color.
On 2 table outside the fence in 4
long box a roast pig reposed, sur
rounded by eatables of various kinds.
Rice and tea were much in evidence,
and the Americans were told that they
we're to be placed on the grave of the
departed, for his refreshment if he so
desired. Chinese instruments In the
hands of skilled musicians played a
prominent part in the solemnities
I'he hearse from the Summerfield
stables was hired, one of the friends
of the deceased assuring the Ameri-
cans that no expense would be spared
to give their countryman a irst-class
funeral
Among the banners pointed out was
one about six feet long by two feet
wide, or dark red cloth, covered with
Chinese characters in white. 1t was
explained that this banner told of the
deceased's standing in and connection
with the order of Free Masonry.
Starting from the Chinese village
the funeral cortege came down Fourth
street, turning onto Bridge toward the
cemetery. AS the procession passed
through the street the musicians kept
up harmonious din ON the tom-tom
and cymbals, while a solmen-looking
young Mongolian on the front seat OF
tne hearse was distributing slips of
paper along the way, each of which
was pierced with nine holes.
The funeral attracted considerable
attention as it passed through the
streets, Notwithstanding the fact that
there have been many deaths among
the Chinese residents of Winnemucca
in the past.

were coming down from Glenbrook
and the runaway began at the head of
the IS" grade, one of the steepest
and crookedest in this section of the
country. 1t seemed impossible that
the coach could keep right side up
and on the grade at all, but the
driver warned the passengers not to
jump.
One lady Immediately succeeded in
getting down upon her knees in the
bottom of the coach and began to-
pray loudly. After about a mile of
this Mr. Hudgens lost his patience
and told the lady to shut up, which
she did. For three miles down the
tortuous and dangerous grade the
horses ran, but were finally brought
to stop without as much as hav-
ing broken a strap on the harness.
The skill displayed in handling the
outfit excited the admiration of at
least one of the passengers, and the
gold watch followed.-Carson News.

Ball Game for Sunday

Manager Ackerman announced last
evening that the management of the
Elko baseball team had sent in their
acceptance of Winnemucca's challenge
and notified him that they would be
on hand to play match game Sun
day. 1t is the present intention to
have the game in the forenoon, on the
ground east of the cattle corral.
The Winnemucca heavyweights. it
is said, will all be here for the game,
and the invincible Bob Ewing will
twirl the sphere. The boys will prac-
uce diligently during the brief period
before the game, and they give it out
that the contest will be good one,
and that the home team will win.

in the wall of the Jail and dropping
from the second story by means of a
rope made from their blankets. All
the prisoners, except one, were Mex
