she was forcibly removed to the rear

act she later applied for warrant for
the arrest of Usher Duffy, but was re-
fused. In the rear of the church MISS
Esac refused to sit down. secret
service agent stood beside her. and
during the service she made no less
than dozen attempts to get past him.

church the secret service men sur
rounded Miss Esac. but she shouted,
"Mr. President, Mr. President, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, won't you speak to me

August Mathez. He reached the city
yesterday, loaded down with samples Of
the ores, which We're deposited at the
headquarters Of Samuel Newhousc in

This important bit Of circumstantial
evidence is the first to assure the pub

friends are probably parties to the pro-
posed consolidation. Until now their
identity has been shrouded in mystery,

Silver Creek Company Operating
in BIackhorse With Prom.
Use Of Success

The Blackhorse Silver Greek Gold
Mining company, which has been organ
lied by a number Of Ogdenites who re-
Gently visited Ely, to operate in the new
Blackhorse district contemplates the
shipment Of ore from the surface that
carries Sis per ton in gold and 500 TO
Sl25 silver per ton.
E. W Hulse the young prospector
who found what he calls the Silver
Creek ledge, says that there are out
groupings for over a mile wherein the
values have not been found to be less
than S87 per ton in silver and gold.
In many of the specimens in the seven
tons of ore already piled around one
hole opened on the ledge, there is con-
siderable horn silver. 1t is Mr.. Hulse's
intention to begin shipping from this
property as soon as the necessary build
ings can be erected for bunking and
blacksmithing And also he says the
company intends to place gasoline en-
zines and power drills upon the ledge
in as many places as possible by spring,
and inaugurate line of development
and extraction similar to those which
prevail in the Goldfeld district
The pay parts of the ledge range in
width from eight to eighteen feet, and
the roc}, is generally rich enough to
bear a wagon haul to the railroad at
Ely-forty miles distant-and thence
to the Salt Lake smelters, and then
leave a wide margin of profit. These
conditions are said to attain in the ledge
as soon as the surface wash is removed
from the pay vein, and to reach the
same usually a foot of earth only must
be scratched off
