His Benders
Fooled Them

Jack Mlnnifee, an old-time
baseball player of national repu-
tation, was in Ely Labor day and
had little quiet fun with some
of the local lovers of the national
game. A practice game was on
between local teams and Mr..
Minnifee suggested to the cap
tain of one of the teams that he
be allowed to pitch for his team,
which was assented to by the
captain. After he had pitched
a few innings the other team
saw what they were up against,
and being tired of tanning the
air, gave up in disgust.
Mr.. Minnifee left Park City
Utah, three months ago with a
train of burros on prospecting
expedition through Utah and
Nevada. He will probably re-
main in tins vicinity until the
weather becomes cooler, when he
will continue on to Tonopah anc
the southern gold fields.

Nevada Con. Lets
Lumber Contract

The Nevada Con. Copper Co.
contracted with o. Remmen to take
all the lumber he can turn out at
the company's saw mill i'll Snake
Valley. Mr.. Remmen lett last
week for the scene of his new la
bors and will start the mill up at
once. Good saw logs are plentiful
in the immediate vicinity of the
mill and Mr. Remmen expects to
keep the mill running at its full ca
pacity the remainder of the season.
The lumber will cost trifle more
laid down at the mines than the
Duck Creek lumber, which the
company has been using, but the
Duck Greek mills have been unable
to supply the amount of lumber re
quired by the company, rendering
it necessary for them to look else
where for their supply.

Seven.foot Ledge of Shipping Ore
Broken Into on l50.FOOf Level
of the Success Mine on
SteptOe Creek

d. G. Mcdonald was iii town
from the Success mine on Step

ports tAa mine looking better
than ever before in its history.
A drift run from the bottom of
the shaft, which is down $50
feet, to tap the ledge, has con-
sumed considerable time, owing
to the hardness of the rock, but
the ledge was broken into the
first of last week, and the same

on the upper level exposed.
The width of the ledge has in
creased to more than seven feet
and the ore, with some little as

Freight Train Wrecked by Tramps

At about z o'clock last Friday
evening the west bound freight,
no. ) rolled over IL burning bridge
at point a few miles east of
Battle Mountain. Two cars were
placed in the stream and traffic
delayed about fourteen hours as
result. 1t is the belief of the
railroad officials that the bridge
was set on fire by tramps, said
to be quite numerous in that sec
ton of the state. In fact this is
the only solution in the minds of
the officials to the origion of the
fire.
The fire was seen by engineer
Downing before the bridge was
reaceed and he succeeded in
bringing his train almost TO a
standstill For this reason a
very serious wreck which would
probably have resulted in the
death of the engineer and fire.
man would have occurred. AS it
was the engine and several cars
succeeded in crossing the bridge
beforeyA the structure gave
way,
AS soon as possible temper
arv bridge was built across the
stream and traffic resumed. The
cars were not injured by the fire
and none of the train crew were
hurt.

will stand shipment, even the

A Sneak at Work.

The Board of County Commits.
sioners was the recipient this
week of an anonymous letter con
tanning clippings from the News
and in incoherent language charg
ing the Board with buying six,
dollara gallon whisky and thir-
tyfve'cents- quart beer for the
county indigents, and other
charges of a like nature.
The writer Of this infamous
screed should be run to earth and
safely locked behind prison bars.
Such Il creature is dangerous to
be at large. 1t is such as he who
assassinate men in the dark or
stab them in the back.
The NEWS has no particular
love for the Board of Commits
sioners. We believe the Board
has made a great many mistakes,
and we have not hesitated to
point them out; but we know
that the board has never bought
whisky at S6 gallon or at any
other price at the county s ex-
pense for the county indigents or
any one else. and we object to a
cowardly sneak using clippings
from the NEWS as the basis for
an attack which he has not the
manhood to make before the
Board while. in session or by let
ter over his own signature.
The Sheriff should use every
resource at his command to To-
cate the criminal and lodge him
in Jail.

PUTTING UP
FRAME WORK

frame work of the 25O-ton smell

carpenters is at work and the
building is fast assuming form
and shape. A considera bic por-
ton Of the machinery for the
srnelter is now on he ground and
maehinists are preparing to IN
stall il. More or less difficulty
is experienced in getting the
machinery hauled in from the
railroad. Some of the pieces are
so heavy that only the very
strongest wagons made are safe in
loading them, and as the roads be-
tween The mines and Eureka are
in none too good condition, the
greatest care on the part of the
teamsters cannot avoid occasion
ally smashing wheel or upset
ting. a team loaded with the
blower for the furnace (weigh-
ing - 900 pounds) was compelled
to reload the piece three times,
and at last reports had not yet
succeeded in reaching its des-
tination.
With the machinery all on the
ground the company would have
no trouble in putting it in place
in short order, as everything is
in readiness to receive it. 1t is
confidently expected, however,
that the smelter will be ready
for commission by November !.

east drift a splendid body of lead
carbonate ore was broken into
which averages 10 ounces in sill

The chute varies in width from

The ore has steadily increased
in value with depth, and this

Roosevelt To Pass through Grenada.

President Roosevelt will pass through
Grenada going south on the morning
of the &c, at about 2:30 am. We re-
greet very much that his itenerary has
not been arranged so he would pass
here in the day time and thereby give
our people an opportunity to show
their appreciation of the head of the
nation and their admiration and es-
TEEN for the many personal qualities
of the president that today makes
him the greatest man in the active
affairs of governmental life in the
world.
The President has grown very pop
ular in the South, and deservedly SO.
He understands the South better and
the South understands him better.
The South recognizes in him a man
free from official corruption, OF very
great ability and possessed of a desire
to serve the people of all sections OF
the country faithfully and well; ana
above all, they see in him a man pure
in private life and a model citizen.
We are glad that he is going TO make
a Southern trip and we are sure that
the people everywhere will accord nm
that attention, honor and respect due
| the great office which he fills.
