LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS
Corps Of Engineers Coming to
Make Survey for Railroad and
SmeIter
ACTIVE WORKsON BOTH
TO BEGIN WITHOUT DELAY

That the Nevada Con. Copper
Co. means business in the way OF
building a smelter, is evidenced
by the fact that a corps of sur
surveyors arrived at the Flat
yesterday and will at once com
mence the survey for smelter
site.
After completing this survey
the engineers will, we are reli-
ably informed, turn their atten-
ton to the building of the rail
road between here and Toano.
Active work on the grade will
begin before the first of June,
and the road will, in all prob
ability, be completed within the
next year.
1t is hardly probable that any
thing more than the grading for
the Smelter and the erection of
the frame work will be done be-
fore the completion of the rail
road. Cheap fuel is necessary
for The successful loperation of a
Smelter, and since the company
will have,to wait for the compile
tio1 of the railroad to get it, it is
more than likely that they will
not complete the snelter until
the machinery can be hauled by
rail.
In the meantime, however,
everything will be in readiness
for the installation of the ma
chinery, and within Il very short
space of time after the railroad is
built. the Nevada Con. Copper
Go. will be shipping the red
metal from it's mines here in
quantities that will attract the at
tention of the mining world to
White Pine county.

against him if he would pay $500.
The three officials say that both
charges are prompted by spite and
deny them absolutely.

Il Was No Fake

The glove contest Friday evening
between Tom Burns and "Red'
Davis was fast go from start to
finish. Quite number who at
tended the contest were prepared
for fake fight, but were agreeably
disappointed.
From the time Referee O'Neill
called time until Burns was put
out in the second round every blow
struck was intended for knock
out, and the blows came fast and
furious, each man vying with the
other in forcing the fighting.
One or two fouls were struck, and
although there were cries of Foul
FOUL" from the ring side, the ref
cree decided that no serious damage
had been done and ordered the fight
to go on,
In the second round Davis landed
terrific punch on the stomach, fol-
lowed by stiff swing on the jaw.
which sent Burns through the ropes
and out
Everyone left the hall feeling that
he had gotten his moneys worth.

EUREKA To THE FRONT,
Work on Eureka Consolidated and
Richmond Mines to be Resumed
on Big Scale.
E. &P. SPECIAL BRINGS IN
SEVERAL NOTED MINING MEN

Eureka and Ruby Hill will
boom as of yore. A new mining
company will take hold of the
Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond mines. These famous
mines, which once yielded their
millions and brought our sister
county SO prominently before the
mining world. will again help to
swell our circulating medium.
We get the facts from the Eureka
Sentinel, which comes out in big
double-column head lines an
nouncing the good tidings.
An e. & p. special pulled into
Eureka last week bearing Vim
Fries, President OF the Eureka
Con. Min. Co., Clarence B. Wis
ner, President of the Montana
Zinc Company and also President
of the Butte Smelling Company,
and r. K. Humphrey, a promi-
nent mining man of Colorado and
Montana, long identified with the
Guggenheims. The party looked
over the Ruby Hill properties,
and made partial arrangements
to resume work on large scale.
The present superintendent, II.
G. McTerney, will continue in the
same position.
These famous mines are locat-
ed two miles west of the town of
Eureka on Ruby Hill, and fur
nished 90 per cent of all the ores
treated in sixteen furnaces which
were in operation in 1873. For
several years their output con
trolled the lead market of the
world. When down 1900 feet the
water came in with such force
that it became most difficult to
handle it, TO make matters
worse, as the water rose in the
Eureka Consolidated it flowed
into the Richmond.
Litigation followed, which oc-
cupied the attention of State and
Federal courts for many years,
and both companies shut down.
Both properties are now to come
under one management.

Will Campbell met with a pain
full accident Tuesday evening,
while driving in a buggy from
Ely to Lane CITY. When oppo-
site the Robust mill, the shaft of
the buggy broke, at which the

scious for more than an hour.
The runaway horse was caught
at Lane City by Sam Silliman,
who at once started to find out
what had become of the driver.
He soon found Mr.. Campbell
walking up the road, but in a
dazed condition, and unable to
tell how the accident happened.
He was taken to the home of Mrs.
Baird in Lane City and made to
rest as comforta bly, as possible
for the night.
Mr.. Campbell was badly
bruised about the head and
shoulders and is unable to use
his left arm. The injuries are

good values in silver, was broken
into in the lower workings OF the
Rocco Homestake mine at Ham

PIONEER IN CHERRY CREEK
II. L. Goldsmith, After Absence of
Many Years, Returns to Scene
OF Pioneer Days.
BUILT FIRST ARASTRA IN
THE STATE OF NEVADA

tFrom Cherry Creek Correspondent
H. L. Goldsmith of Ibapah
Utah, after an absence of twenty
years, paid visit to the scenes OF
his early manhood, and was inter
viewed by your correspondent.
Mr.. Goldsmith is the last sur
vivor of the pioneers of Egan Can
yon. He had been engaged at Fort
Douglas, in Utah, in 1868, and his
services being required at Egan, he
came thither in 1864, and helped
build the 5-stamp mill that was SO
successfully run in 1864 aud follow
ing years, the bullion being shipped
via Austin.
He preceded Judge Reilly and
Mr.. White, who were sent out from
New York by a celebrated news
paper proprietor in 1865, and who
commenced the erection of a 90
stamp mill at the mouth of Egan
canyon. The machinery was at
Salt Lake, and as no money was
forwarded to Judge Reilly to pay
the employees, the Judge went to
Salt Lake, sold the machinery and
paid off the men, The foundation
of the mill remains to this day. The
mines were consolidated with the
property of the company working at
Egan, eventually owned by the San
Jose Co., managed for many years
by Gen. w. S. Rosencrans and now
owned by the North Mountain Co.
Mr.. Goldsmith and David Pierce
erected an arastra i'll Egan canyon
and made a successful run on gold
ore from the Groupings of mine
owned by Pierce in 1866, now OWL
by Frost Bros. of Boston and being
successfully developed by the Wide
West Mining Co. This was the
first arastra erected i'll the State of
Nevada and is now historical. The
water wheel and some other parts
still remain, and if there is an his
torical society in Nevada, it should
protect it. When the iron horse,
soon destined to run through this
canyon, will be freighted with tour
lists, this old arastra will be a great
attraction.
Many thrilling episodes with the
Indians and the hanging of men for
their misdeeds, incidents of pion eer
life, were related by Mr.. Goldsmith,
who is now hale and hearty at the
age of II and living on Easy street
at Ibapah.

GETTING THE UPPER HAND.
Troops at Moscow Hemming In the
Insurgents.


st. Petersburg, Dec. 27-From the
standpoint of TIE government there
was a slight Improvement in the out
look during the afternoon Notwith-
standing the decision of the work
mems council to continue the strike,
many of the strikers broke away, in
GLIDING about one-third of the en-
ployes of the Putiloff iron works, sew
eral in other factories and portion
of the mill men. 1t is evident that the
leaders must precipitate matters or
the strike will so to pieces. From the
standpoint of the leaders, all now de-
ponds ON the situation at Moscow.
A telephone message just received
from Moscow says the fighting in the
streets continued thrAyhout the day,
but the populace is not participating
and the troops are gradually getting
the upper hand. The soldiers are
hemming in the main body of the in
sugents in the quadrilateral near the
Brest railroad station. Artillery is be-
ing used mercilessly on the defenses
of the rebels.
Two of the four grenadier regiments
have returned to duty and are fighting
on the side of the government Troops
also have arrived from st Petersburg.
The fires which destroyed the Brest
station and other places have been
practically eXtinguished and the dam
ger of the destruction of the city by
fire seems to be over for the present.

WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT HAS
DECIDED TO KEEP OUT OF 90.
MINicAN TROUBLE.
ENTIRELY INTERNAL AFFAIR
OUTSIDE INTERESTS 50 FAR
HAVE NOT BEEN MENAcED
BY THE UPRISING.

Washington, Dec. 27.-For the pres.
ent there will not be any interference
by the United States in the difficulty
which has arisen in Santo Domingo
The trouble is regarded by the state
department officials as entirely an in
ternal one and so long as outside in
terests are not menaced this attitude
of nonintervention will be maintained
If, however, conditions should change
materially, and lawless acts should be
committed against Americans and Am
erican interests and involving the col
lection of the Dominican customs by
lence should occur, which in the opin-
ion of the officials here would make it
proper for this government to inter-
fere, this step will be taken and meas
ures adopted 70 quell the trouble.
This decision was reached by the
state department officials during the
day and was confirmed at conference
at the White House late in the after
noon in which the president and Secre-
taries Root, Taft and BOnaparte par
ticipated. The cabinet officers re-
manned at the White House until near
ly o'clock The gathering, however,
was not called specifically for the pur-
pose of discussing matters bearing on
the developments in Santo Domingo
but to talk over a number of questions
which the president was anxious to
dispose of preliminary to his depart
ure for an outing of several days in
Virginia
Advices received by cable at the
state and navy departments from San
to Domingo indicate that serious con-
dition of affairs exists there. The
captain of the port of Puerto Plata has
been shot and killed during an insur-
rectionary movement and the governor
of that province has defied the general
government and barricaded the town.
The Dominican government has issued
a decree removing the governor.
The secretary of war has received
the following cablegram from Acting
Comptroller and Receiver of the Do
minican Customs Edwards, dated at
San Domingo:
President Morales, dissatisfied
with cabinet support, has left capital
with few followers His intention is
said to be to join the followers Of Jim
inez in opposition to the followers
of Horacio. Conflict between the two
forces is imminent, probably vicinity
of San Juan or vicinity of Puerto
Plata. Morales may make attempt to
establish new capital and create a
new cabinet"

WOULD BE SHEER MURDER.
Leaders, Decide Against Conflict in ST.
Petersburg.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-The revo.
lutionary leaders in ST. Petersburg.
who OH Sunday decided that it was alb
sOlutely necessary to precipitate an
immediate conflict here as diversion
in favor of the revolutionaries at Mos
COW, have reconsidered their decision
on the ground that it would be sheer
murder to send the proletariat into
the streets. Nevertheless they voted
to continue the strike and to use
every means to force out all the work
men, but at the same time to hold
themselves in readiness to take ad-
vantage of the situation in the event
of the success of their comrades at
Moscow In spite of the seizure here
the leaders claim that large quantities
of arms, including quick firing guns,
have been struggled through Finland.
Reports from Moscow say that the
Constitutional Democrats and other
liberal parties, appalled, by the
strength of the proletariat, are seeking
measures to save the country from
civil war.
