DEATH OF BARON ROTHscHIlD.
Former Resident of Eureka and
One of Nevada's Pioneers
Passes Away at Reno.

Baron R~othschild, one Of the oldest
residents of Nevada and q former Eu-
rekan, died at Reno. New. on Wednes-
day, Dec. 81, 1906, after an illness OF
over q week. He was 70 years Of age
and was born In Nuremberg, Bavaria.
He became engaged in the revolution
Of l848 in the old country and at b
close Of the wal with Carl Schurz and
other rev~olutionists fed to this country.
In 1852 he came TO this State and for
more than half q century Nevada was
his home. He was o silent old man
and was always known to his friends
and acquaintance as "Barou." Short
ly after coming to Nevada he engaged
in business at Dayton. Lyon County,
and he was on the Comstock when the
lode was discovered. Later when Eu-
reka attracted Thousands to the Base
Range, the old Baron was among them.
He entered into the tailoring business
here aud from 1t and his mining inter-
ests cleared up considerable money.
Years ago he left here and went to
Reno and resided there to the time OF
his death. 1t is said he still owned
mining properties in Eureka County
when he died. A wife. two sons and
two daughters residing in San Fran
cisco survive him. The funeral took
place at Reno Sunday and interment
was in the Jewish cemetery.

UNITED STATES SMELLING co.
To Invade Trusts Stronghold in
Mexico--May Build Smelling
Works in Eureka.

The Salt Lake Herald Of Dec. 80 says:
Il is reported from Boston that the
United States Mining Company is pre-
pairing &c extend its operations into
Mexico. For many months past, it is
said, the management has been seeking
a property in the southern republic that
could be used as a basis for the erection
of a smelter in that country. Many
properties have been examined and
turned down by its engineers, but it is
understood that a property has at last
been found that will, most likely, fill
requirements. Its purchase, according
to report, would call for an initial ex.
penditure OF $500. 900.
What the company is said to want is
something that will be to smelling
works in that country what the Gen.
tennial- Eureka and other properties in
Utah are TO the smelling works of the
company in this valley, and the nam.
moth property in Shasta County, Cali
%fornia, is to the company's works near
Kennett.
The United States Company stands as
an open and avowed competitor Of the
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany in this country, and as the Ameri-
can company has the Mexican mineral
bearing regions largely under its con.
troll, it would seem that the United
States company has determined to give
the Trust a RON for its money down in
the southern country.
While nothing has yet cropped to the
surface on the subject. there is a well
grounded suspicion that one of the pur-
poses of the company in buying the Eu.
reka and Richmond mines at Eureka,
New, was to better enable it to enter
the Nevada field as a direct competitor
of the American company. and it will
surprise no one in this section to hear
that the company has decided to estab-
fish smelling works at or in the vicinity
of its Eureka mines.

Trains In Snow Banks.

The trains on the Z 81 Z. had a hard
time getting through several days this
week on account OF the wind having
piled the snow on the tracks. The
train that left Palisade last Saturday
morning did not reach Eureka until
after Q o'clock in the evening. The de-
lay was caused by running into q deep
snow drift in q out near Alpha. Sew
eral Of the Compsny's men who were
returning home to spend New Years
were passengers and dug the train out.
On the e trip Saturday night the
train was again stalled and had to send

sent down from Eureka Sunday and
another from Palisade and the road was
again opened up. but the regular did
not get into Palisade until late Sunday
