Emerging from a winter which,
| for severity, has not been equal
ed in twenty years, and not a
time when merchants, builders
and business men generally lad
reasonable hope for the eXpccta-
| ton that Natures embargo upon
incoming freight was about to be
raised, the northern end of White
Pine county was visited Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday success
| sively, by cloudbursts which
cast upon the mountains enough
water to irrigate the entire state
/ for month.
The deluge transformed the
VALLEY roads into qlagmlros and
even the bench roads were made
| |impassable save for the heavier
! freight teams Pasture lands III
! the bottoms were flooded and the
|loss of cattle is reported from
several ranches in the Steptoe
valley between Ely and .Currie's
ranch.
Some.idea of the severity of
1.-The visitation may be gathered
from the fact that six and eight
horse teams, which usually man

From the appearance OF the
preliminary work mining eX-
perts would hazard the guess
that the Ely smelter has been
designed to treat 1000 tons of
ore daily; but ground maps is

time the engineers complete their
task the first prediction of a
5,O00-ton plant may be realized,

Currie's and walked to Ely with
two other members of the party to
summon relief. Ordinarily this
trip completed from Wells in
three days running time, would
have been made by our big ma
chine in twenty hours, but we
we're burdened with. three tons
of freight, in addition to nine
passengers, and this weight
proved too much for us in face of
the condition of the roads. The
flat beyond Georgetown is still

THE HORRORS OF
DEATH VALLEY
The Mumified Remains Of Judge
Bethune Found Lost Since
Last August.

The NEWS clips the following
from the Goldfield News:
The headless body of Judge
Bethune was found yesterday in
the vicinity of Arsenic springs.
Identification was established by
means of papers found in the
pockets Of the tattered clothing.
flhe remains had been badly
|@angled by coyotes, and the
head, which was found q short
distance away, had been severed
nom the trunk by the sharp
angs OF the animals. The body
shrunken and the skin has
oeen tlghtened on the heshless
zones by the action of the ele-
nents until the corpse presents
fed.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-05-04

Judge Bethunc departed on a
prospecting trip to the Death
Valley country nearly year
ago and from that time until last
October no trace Of him could
be obtained. At that time his
pack train was picked up by a
prospector and brought into
Goldfield. Search parties wan-
dered over the desert for weeks
looking for the unfortunate man,
but all efforts to find him were
futile. AT last hope was aban-
doned and search ceased. 1t is
supposed that Bethune ran out
of water, became crazed and died
of thirst amid the blistering
heat of last August on the akali
plains of Death Valley"
Judge Bethune was Il brother
OF George l.. Bcthune of Ely.
George was one of the first loca-
tors in Fairfield, Churchill
county, and has opened assay
offices in this camp. He is we'll
and favorably known all over
the west, being pioneer in
Colorado, Arizona and Nevada.
He is one of the mining men who
can be depended upon. George
owns several promising proper
ties in and around Ely.

Nevada Northern
Is Coming

It has been officially announced
that the Nevada Northern will
be carrying freight and passen-
gers from Cobre to Currie s
ranch by May 10th, and that
grading and railing the grade
will be pushed from there into
Ely as fast as men and money
can do the work. A big grad
ing outfit passed through Ely
Wednesday morning. By the
10th people coming into the
camp can get here much easier
than via Eureka. With line of
autos running from Curries to
Ely the trip can be be made with
comfort and no night travelling.
big Sim is as good q Repub-
lican as he is q livery man and
that is saying a good deal. He
told a News reporter Sunday
that this year he was going to
attend everything that came
along that had any bearing what
ever on Republican politics,
"and, continued Sim, CT m 60
ing first to shoot an anvil an
nouncing the fact that Nevada IS
again within the Republican fold
when the results of the coming
election is known next Novem-
ber.' At this point Sim became
excited and shot this charge into
his listeners, Why, you talk
about primaries, parties and
party conventions, il | had my
way the Republicans should go
to the people on Il three word
platform: Let prosperity con
tinue. O, dam it, what more do
we want than the present good
times to continue. There is
hardly a citizen of White Pine
county but today is worth Tlo,-
600 where ten years ago he was
not worth nickle. I'm IN favor
of making it unanimous, SAID
Sim as he walked away to get a
gentleman a four-in' hand to go
to the Flat.

Gold Deposits Found Near
the Old Town.
Especial CorrespoRdence.l

In testimony of the attention
which your neighboring camp,
at Osceola, is attracting, | can
state that no gold ore from East
ern Nevada has received more
respectful consideration than
shipments which have come to
hand from that quarter in the
past few days.
Samples of ore weighing from
one to two tons were displayed
here the other day in front of
Pollock & Coles brokerage
offices which, when put to the
test, assayed from $40 to $50 per
ton in gold. This is a splendid
showing for quartz that was
scoffed at when the earlier re-
ports of rich finds at Osceola
were received here, and mining
men now are beginning to sit
up and take notice. of the new
camp. Several parties of ex-
plorationl are being formed and
if the shoWings continue, upon
further investigation, to be up to
the standard indicated there will
be no lack of capital, SO far as
Salt Lake is concerned, in open
ing up the Osceola mineS.i
From what | have gathered
here in conversation with min
ing men the Osceola mines are
regarded as most promising and
already q great future is pre-
dicted for the camp.
