TWO MEN SHOT
BY THREE BLACKS
AMBUSH AT EIGHTH AND WILL
SON STREETS
Near a Thicket the Firing Begins.
The Victims, Both Italians, Are
Pursued by Their
Assailants

Ferro Amata was fatally shot through
the breast and Luke Sebella seriously
shot through the body and arm as a
result of an ambush planned by three
negroes at Eighth and Wilson streets
last evening about II o'clock,
The shooting was the result of race
hatred between the negroes and Italians
living in that section.
After spending the evening visiting
Angelus Cornella and other friends at
1927 Sacramento street, the Italians
started home, Their way lay through
a thicket of castor beans. AS they
came abreast the thicket the negroes
fired from the thicket. Both Italians
turned and ran toward the home of
their friends.
William Semple, living at 21S6 East
Eighth street, was attracted by the
shots and saw the Italians running, fol-
lowed closely by the negroes.
The negroes continued to fire as they
pursued their wounded opponents until
they reached Sacramento and Wilson
streets. There the Italians turned west
on Sacramento street, while the negroes
continued north on Wilson street. Of
ficers at this point lost track of the
negroes.
No motive can be found for the crime.
Amata came to Los Angeles from New
Orleans a month ago with Joe Starra
of 1911 Sacramento street. Sebella has
been in the city some years. So far as
Detective Mckenzie was able to ascer-
tain neither has had trouble with
negroes.
italians Were Unarmed
The Italians were unarmed and were
sober. Both are employed by Hughes
Manufacturing company and have good
records so far as the police can learn.
Semple was just about to retire when
he heard the Italians passing his house
conversing in an ordinary voice. To
the rear of the house there is a thicket
of castor bean plants on both sides of
the road. AS the Italians came abreast
of this the firing began.
Sebella was able to reach Starva's
house and tell him that he and his
friend had been wounded, and then fell
unconscious on the floor. The Italians
rushed out and found Amata lying un-
conscious on the sidewalk in front of
their house.
The police We're at once notified and
sent the men to the receiving hospital.
officers searched the country about the
scene of the shooting thoroughly but
found no traces of the negroes after
leaving the immediate scene of the acct
dent.
This is but one of many such crimes
as have been committed in that neigh
borhood of late.
Within. the past year there has been
more murders and murderous attacks
in that section of the city than any
other, say the police.

ore deposits have been developed in the
southern part of the holdings of the Gil
roux Consolidated, and also in the north
part of the estate of the Ely Northern
Copper company. Over 100000 tons
of ore have been developed in the Gil
roux ground to a depth of 1000 feet,
carving values sufficiently high to go
10 the smelter without preliminary con-
centration.
Extreme ore bodies of this character
are to be found on the properties of the
Ely Central, occurring as a replacement
of both the porphyry and the limestone
along the north contact of the porphyry
belt.
In the eastern part of the Copper Flat
group of the Nevada Consolidated com
pany's ground, an ore body, measuring
100000 tons, has been developed dur
ing the last three years. This immense
ore body is within $50 feet of the Eu-
reka Fraction No. / of the Ely Central.
The south end line of the Juniper claim
of the Ely Central Is within $50 feet Of
the end of the north crosscut from the
Nevada Consolidated No. l shaft. The
south end line of the Weber claim of
the Ely Central is 40 feet north of the
end of the extreme crosscut of the Cop
per Flat group. The north end line Of
the Chispy, another claim of the Ely
Central, is only 1850 feet southeast of
the No shaft of the Nevada CONSOLE
dated. where a great amount of ore is
now blocked out.
No group in the district lays as close
to the developed ore bodies of either of

the groups of the Nevada Consolidated
properties as the Ely Central.
That the big ore reserves of the Ne
vada Consolidated extend through the
ground of the Ely Central has been es-
tablished by the extensive drillings on
the zones affected.
As intimated above, the large acreage
of the Ely Central is being most ex
peditiously and successfully developed
by the use of churn drills. Two of these
drills manufactured by the Keystone
Drill company, are continuously at work.
The want of sufficient casing has pre-
vented the drilling of holes beyond
depth of 500 feet.
On the Weber claim, and within 500
feet of the 10000, 00O-ton developed ore
body Of the Nevada Consolidated, a drill
hole has been bored to depth of 315
feet. The first POS feet went down in
oxidized porphyry and then into the reg
ular bearing porphyry of the dis
trict, penetrating the porphyry to a
depth of lis feet. The porphyry is in
every respect similar in character and
composition to the regular clearing
porphyry of the other big mines of the
district. and is found to carry copper in
commercial values.
Directly east of the mammoth ore
body mentioned drill hole has been
bored to depth of 480 feet, the first
100 feet of the hole going through the
leached-out surface porphyry and the re-
mainder is in ore.
Again. at point about 700 feet dis
tant, hole has been bored to a depth
of 405 feet. The first eighty feet was

THE ELY CENTRAL COPPER
COMPANY is a Delaware corporation,
with its principal office in Philadelphia.
The coterie of capitalists identified with
this bonanza group are the men who de-
ve1oped the Mizpah and other great
mines of Tonopah, and who now domi
nate the famous Tonopah Mining COM
pany.
The holdings of the Ely Central con
sist Of thirty-fve claims, covering 5OS
acres, the very heart and center of the
developed copper zone of the Ely dis
trict.
The group is entirely surrounded by
the properties of the Nevada CONSOLE
dated Copper company, the Giroux, the
Ely Mines company and the Ely Consol-
idated Copper company. which mines
are the developed bonanzas of the dis
trict.
The geological composition of the IA
NOUS Ely district is peculiar. But two
districts elsewhere resemble it, namely:
that of Bingham, Utah, and Clifton,
Ariz.
Prior to tertiary times, this great
belt of country consisted of horizontal
strata of sedimentary rocks, limestones
and shales. During this early period, a
great stock worth of intrusive rock,
called laccolitne, was forced up through
these strata, raising them to the posi-
tion we now find them. These lime
stones, for a long period, entirely COW
cred the intrusive mass. But as the
limestoucs were in time removed by ero-
sion, the intrusive became bare and ex-
posed.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-12-25

While the intrusives were cooling and
solidifying, much of the water contained
in them was excluded This water
maintained high temperature, and was
very active, both chemically and phvsi-
cally, and is the agent which accom-
plished the extensive naturalization of
the great mass of monzonite, locally
called "porphyry.
These thermal waters had their origin
from below and, as they assembled and
permeated the mass, enriched the upper
zone of the porphyry prior to the re-
moval of the limestone by erosion. At
forwards the porphyry became exposed,
as we have seen, when oxidation set in
and the copper content in the mass was
acted upon and partially carried in the
waters in solution These waters pereo-
lated through the mass and carried their
burden downward into the porphyry, en-
riching the zones traversed, and deposit
ing the copper as chalcocite, the richest
known copper mineral, carrying about
so per cent copper. Chalcocite is the
characteristic ore of the great porphyry
bonanzas.
The naturalization of the porphvry
to such an extent as to attract the en-
gineers and capitalists of the world to
the mines of Ely, is not the sole claim
to prominence possessed by this we'll
known district. While the deposition
of the porphyry ore bodies was going
on, there was a deposition of ore and
a mineralizing, to a degree still un-
known, of the adjacent limestones on
both the north and south side of the
great porphyry belt Huge limestone

in the lcached-out porphyry and the re-
naming 32s feet is in the characteristic
ore of the district.
Very satisfactory results are had from
a 342.foot drill hole on the Chispy
claim. distant about 1850 feet from the
No. 2 shaft of the Nevada Consolidated.
This hole passed through the leached
and oxidized surface porphyry to
depth of 125 feet, and then into the
minoralized porphyry showing the chal-
cocite and the iron pyrite, so character
istic of the district.
The showing at the last named point
was of such a character that the man
agement has determined to sink its
accompaniment working shaft here.
A ffty-horse- power steam hoisting plant
has been delivered on the ground and
the lumber is being hauled to house the
same. The sinking of the shaft has
been started and it is proposed to prose-
cute the same to the 100Ofoot level
This shaft will be capable of handling
5000 tons of ore per day.
No quantity of water to speak of has
been encountered in the area penetrated
by the drills. However, to forestall any
delays or shutdowns, a sinking pump is
ready at the mine for immediate USE
Drifts will be run at intervals of 100
feet out into the ore body, to open up
the same.
No ground in the district surpasses
that of the Ely Central. It cuts across
the porphyry belt and lies directly be.
tween the two groups of the great Ne
vada Consolidated.

SAVES SURFACE OF TABLE.

A mat such as this will be sound
useful for placing under a lamp or a
flower pot, as either are apt to scratch
the highly-polished surface of a table.
Our model is in ~reseda-green MORE,
with appliques of plain forget-me-not
blue face cloth; but, of course, the
colors may be varied to suit any fur
niture, and plain silk or velvet may
be used in place of the MORE, If pre-
ferred. In the first place the size OF
mat must be decided upon, then a
circle of firm white paper of the size
should be cut out. Also make some
tracings of the little applique design
shown in No. 2, and arrange them as
shown in the circle; paste them. then
draw the little cording stitch sprays
in pencil. Place the material for
foundation of mat on a board, then a
sheet of tracing cloth, lastly the de-
sign, pin all firmly together and go
over the outline of the design with a
hard pencil.
To work the mat, cut as many ap-
plique designs out of the cloth as will
be required, place them in position
on foundation, and fix with a little
