MANY CLOSE CALLS

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Nov. 2O.-Com-
mander Penry's Arctic steamer Roose-
veIt which IL still at st. Georges Bay.
N. f., is reported to have had a terri
BILE experience while coming south
from Hopedale, Labrador. She hud to
tie up for eleven days In Battle Har-
bor, Labrador, ON account OF n hurrf-
cane.
In Battle Harbor the Roosevelt car
ried away her heaviest anchor and
several lines had to be run out to
keep her off the rocks. She was short
of coal and it became necessary to
augment this fuel with wood and
blubber. portion of the ships in
terror work was dismantled in order
to secure wood. During a binding
snowstorm, it is declared, the Roose-
velt was nearly wrecked on the west
coast of Newfoundland.
, SYDNEY, N. s., Nov. 20.-A cable
dispatch to the Associated Press from
ST. Georges Bay, n. F., dated today,
follows:
Commander Peary's Arctic steamer
Roosevelt, which arrived here short of
coal Saturday, was still anchored in
ST. Georges Bay at dusk tonight, but
ready to sail for Port au Basque at
the first favorable change in the
weather. The weather tonight is
stormy and a stiff northwest wind has
kicked up a heavy sea.
The Roosevelt ought to renew her
coal supply here sufficiently to carry
her across the Gulf of st. Lawrence to
Sydney, a distance of 230 miles. The
expedition party. however, was able to
secure only eight tons of coal here
and will require additional fuel before
attempting the passage of the gulf.
"Peary has decided to make Port au
Basque at the first opportunity. The
distance is 40 miles and it is hoped
that the weather will moderate and
permit an early start"

CUBAN WOULD WAR
ON AMERICANS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

HAVANA. Nov. 2o.-General Loyaz
del Castillo is making inf1ammatory
speeches against the Americans, de-
claring there will be war unless they
do withdraw promptly, as they have
promised
Governor Magoon IS shortly going on
a tour of the island.
The fourteenth battery of artillery
today returned from a practice march
through the province of Pinar del Rio,
making record time despite the muddy
roads and the floods. In some districts
the troops were obnged to use pom
toons.
Pinto Guerrero says it is absurd to
maintain that the Liberals must re-
tain the old ticket of Gomez and Zayas.
He points out that the revolution was
undertaken for principle, not for per-
sons. He denies that the split in the
party is widening and says that he is
confident that all will unite to support
whoever is nominated. 1t is plain, how
ever, that there is serious dissension.

ABOUT THE Big MINING
COMPANIES OPERATING
IN this DISTRICT

The Ely, Nevada, camp gives
promise Of a large increase in.
the production of copper in the
next few years.
This camp has come into
prominence only in the last year
through the promotion of the
Nevada Consolidated Copper Co.
which has a capitalization of
| 300, 900 shares, par $40. This
company combined the New York
& Nevada and White Pine com
panies. }. Parke Charming in

of 10000 to 5000, 900 tons Of

ly, and stated that developments
at the property in the last six
months have demonstrated Il ton
mage in sight of three times Mr..
Channing's estimate, or l5,000, :
900 to 100000 tons. The ore
of the Ely camp is very similar
to that of the Bingham district,
copper bearing porphyry. 1t
averages higher than Bingham
porphyry and runs about 3 per
cent copper.
AS a result of new ore devel
opments, the Nevada Gonsolida-
ted Co. has decided to build the
first unit of its proposed new
mill $500 tons instead Of 1000.

Death Ends Suffering Of A. Urquhart

After a week of intense suffer
ing, Angus Urquhart, who was
injured by falling from the
Catholic church building on the
9th inst, died Tuesday at 600
O'Clock a. N. The attending
physicians held out but little
hope for his recovery from the
time the injuries were received
and his death WAS not uneXpect-
ed. Once or twice during the
week he rallied and was con-
scious for q few minutes each
time but these lucid intervals
were followed by u deeper stu
por.
Deceased was born in Nova
Scotia and was about forty eight
years of age at the time of his
death. He leaves a wife and
three children and a host OF
friends to mourn his death.

Ely Has Splendid Telephone System

The White Pine County 9ele
phone Co. has about completed
the installation Of its telephone
system in Ely, thirty-8eyen
'phones being placed in the resi-
dences and places Of business in
the town. Manager Peacock has
found it impossible to accommo-
date all who have requested
phones on account Of his inabil
ity to get the instruments ship
ped in, the express company re-
fusing to handle the freight un-
til the large amount OF freight
for Ely that has been piled up in
the Eureka Office has been for
warded. Connections, however,
have been made with Lane City
and the mines, and the principal
places of business have been
supplied. The service, under
the circumstances, is all that
could be desired, and upon the
arrival Of the remainder Of the
instruments from the railroad,
Ely will have one of the best
telephone systems in the state.
No expense has been spared in
equipping the system with the
best standard instruments and
making it strictly first class and
! up to date, and the residents of
the town are under obligations
to Manager Peacock for his ener-
getic efforts to supply them with
a service that would be credit
to a city of $4,000 inha bitants.

TRACKLAYING has
been RESUMED
Work on the Nevada Northern
Again Commenced and Road
Will Be Rushed to
Completion

A. Judell, chief engineer, Mr..
Goodrich, assistant engineer, and
Mr.. Beatty, division superinten-
dent, of the Nevada Northern
railroad, were in Ely the first of
the week from the grading
camps near Currie's ranch, en-
route to Eureka from which
place the party will continue on
TO San Francisco. While here Il
member of the party stated that
track-laying had been resumed
last week on the Nevada North
ern and would be rushed through
to the end Of the grade, which will
be completed to Cherry Creek
by the time the construction
gang will have overtaken the
graders. Some little grading
has been done right along, but
as soon as the frost leaves the
ground, which, if the present.
fine weather continues will be
soon, the grade work will be
pushed ahead with all possible
speed. When asked if the road
bed will be completed by the
first of June, the gentlemen re-
piled that trains will be running
into Ely before the most op-
tomistic person in the town eX-
poets the grade to be completed.

". NJ. RULE TELLS OF THE
MANY PROMISING Mines
OF CEiERY CREEK DISTRICT

White Pine county. NeVada, Is
little known by mining men, and
until the writer had visited this
section of the great mining re-
oion of the state he was igno-
rant of its wonderful posslblli-
ties and resources.
Cherry Greek is located at the
mouth of the canyon near the
basp Of the eastern slope of the
Egan range Of mountains. Its
elevation is 6,275 feet above sea
level. and it is superbly located
for town.
Mines were discovered here in
1872, and the geological for ms
tion of the district was all that
conld be desired. With the pro-
eressive mining spirit of the
\ prospectors the present town
\ was laid out in the spring of 1873,
and in the following year the
growth was phenominal and un-
i'll the depression of silver in
1893, was one of the liveliest
towns and mining camps in the
state of Nevada.
La 1879 a miners union was or
yanizad. 1t is now extinct, but
no labor troubles have arisen.
The purpose of the organization
was to counteract the manifest
preference given by the mine
manager to Cornish miners, to
the exclusion of all other nation
ahties.
About 500 mining locations
have been made in the Cherry
j Creek mining district. Some Of
which have proven of great
value. Prior to the depreciation
of silver, gold was not prospect
cd for to any extent, silver being
the predominant metal and the
camp remained practically dead
until a few years ago, when tho
Wide West claims were purchas-
cd by Boston capitalists and have
been vigorously developed.
The arrival of these men with
abundance of money to prospect
and develop the numerous lodges
or lodes, gave q wonderful inn
! petus to the mining industry of
this section of the country. Cod
bearing veins were found and
discoveries of rich lodges were
made all over the mountain
range, and by the influx Of capi-
tai made Cherry Greek one of
the most lively mining camps of
the West.
The district is one of unusual
promise and | feel satisfied that
great activity Will prevail during
the coming spring and summer
months, because the values of
the several mining properties are
becoming more generally known
through constant and general in
veStigation.
Situated about three miles
from town, southwest, is Gold
Canyon mining district, and in
this district are located almost
all the good properties.
A new railroad is now being
built from Cobre, 80 miles east o1
Wells, to Ely, Nevada, so miles
south of Cherry Creek, to the
copper mines Of the Nevada Con
solidated Copper Go. Cherry
Greek will be a station on th'
line Of the road, and by the frs
OF May next, trains will be run
nlng to this town and camp
heretofore means of communi
cation have been by stage from
wells on the Southern Pacifi
railroad, distance of 100 mile

GOLD CANYON MINING DISTRICT.
American Eagle, owned by
Chas. Sandquist and associates,
situated east of the Wide West
properties. A great deal OF work
has been done on this property
and good ore treated in the Wide
West stamp mill by Prof. j. Ill.
Leishman.
The Wide West mining prop
erty is one of the very best
propositions in this section of
the state. 1t is owned by a Bos-
ton, Mass, syndicate. Has been
thoroughly and Systematically
developed by the tunnel system
under the careful management
of Prof. j. Leishman, resident
agent, who has placed the prop
erty in splendid condition for
stopping immense quantities of
ore for mill and smelter The
ore IS sulphide in white quartz in
which free gold IS often formed.
The property is regarded by the
owners as worth 100000. Work
Of development is being carried
on most economically under the
careful management of Prof.
Leishman. The Wide West is a
great mining proposition.
Combination group gives great
promise and is pronounced by
we'll informed mining men as
having a great future, equal to
any property in the district. A
large vein of ore recently en-
countered gave assay values OF
$36 to $50 per ton in gold.
North Mountain Mining COM
pany has q group OF patented
claims and thousands of dollars
have been realized from the
property. A large mill is situa-
ted west of Egan canyon for
treating the ore. Midway in the
canyon a tunnel has been driven
1000 feet to cut the several
lodges in it's trend. At the por-
tai Of the tunnel is large com
pressor for pushing the work
more expeditiously. These veins
carry gold, silver and lead.
Hartford, Nevada, Gold Min
ing company owns group OF
claims known as the Johanna
group. The property was pur-
chased in 1905 and the company
is pushing work with great vigor
and in practical manner. From
ore milled by Prof. Leishmau
from this property over $4,000
was returned. The ore came
principally from near the grass
roots" and improves wonder
fully in values as depth is attain
