F|Tz-MAC SAYS A
BILLION IN
SIGHT
Veteran Newspaper Man Gives
Figures on the White Pine
Copper Deposits ater
Than Wealth Of Nation.

Fitz-Mac, the genial g,obe-trotter and
special writW Tor a string of Colorado
papers, has been to Ely to write up
that wonderful copper camp, and mis-
is part of what he sends to his papers
The copper zone is seven miles in
length by an average Of one mile In
of 72o feet and still no bottom to the
ores found-call II one-seventh of a mile
to facilitate calculation in reducing to
cubic feet. and that gives us exactly one
cubic mile of ore already practically in
sight. Allowing fifteen cubic feet to
the ton. that gives Tin round numbers)
ten billion tons Of IL per cent ore. all
of which carries a value In god and
silver Of about IS per ton. That gives
50 billions in gold and silver-a mere by
product.
The copper content, reckoned as IL
per cent. gives 35Oo0o,ooo tons of pure
copper. which at Is cents a pound (s3O0
a toni gives the pretty total of los BIZ
lion dollars-billions you understand!
This. with the trifie received for the
god and silver. makes the sum Of four
hundred billions.
These figures look crazy. don't they7
Well. that is not my fault: it's the fault
of the facts-the gold. the silver and
the copper. The facts are given just
as you hear them stated on every hand
here at Ely and I have on.y figured out
The facts as I have them. to show you
their commercial significance. to arouse
your imagination by showing you what
the facts mean when reduced to money.
Your mind can grasp the meaning of
four hundred billion dollars II you re-
fleet that 1t means a sum just about
four times as great as the total wealth
Of the whole United States.

HUMBOLDT OFFICERS ARE
PRAISED BY JOHN HAYES

A San Francisco dispatch says: Il
fathers money" This is the statement
of Mrs. W. w. Stephenson, whose hus-
band was shot down BY Chiilion Dowen
when he found the guilty couple togeth-
er in San Francisco. A dispatch from
Reno stated that Mrs. Stephenson mad
abandoned her four little ones that she
miht use her money to defend the muir
derer Of her husband. Mrs. Stephenson
said yesterday:
II have no money. and I have only
been abe to earn bread for myself by
going out to work whenever I could ind
anything to do. I have written letter
after letter to people who used to be my
friends in Reno. but they never an
swered me. nor sent me a word to tell
me how my children are.
Mrs. Stephenson was liberated from
the city prison a month ago on condi-
ton that she report to the police each
morning.
She is wanted as q witness against
Bowen, who is at the Broadway Jail
awaiting his trial For several days she
wandered about the streets without
money. and had made up her mind. she
says. to take her own life. No one who
knew the story of the crime would give
her aid
Then 1t was that a good Samaritan
appeared. Mrs. Mary Bell had a'so
been under the shadow of crime. She
shot down. The two women had met
in the corridors of the city prison
When all others passed by on the other
side it was this woman who took the
outcast to her room and gave her q
home. When seen last night the two
had just returned from doing a day s
work cleaning windows. They worked
under assumed names, and had to keep
the location Of their room secret. The
woman from whom they rented the
tie basement room did not know who
her dodgers were for the punishment
that society imposes on the fallen and
penni.ess Is inexorable.
We don't always know where the
next loaf of bread is coming FROM"
said Mrs. Bell. but the cd saying is
that misery loves company. and we two
are going to stick together. We put
an advertisement in the paper. and we
take in all the work we can get.''
