Ely-Shaft.
PAYS BIG SUM FOR
ELY PROPERTIES
Organizes Ely Athletic Club
for Future Big Sport
ing Events.

G.. L. Richard is becoming an import
ant factor in Ely. He is proving that
there is something more than ordinary
"1uck' in his famous run of good for
tune. In his Ely enterprises he has
shown that, however much Fortune
may be disposed to favor him, he is, in
dependent of that, shrewd, far-seeing
business man.
Mr.. Richard is the famous "Tex.'
Richard of Goldfeld In the spring he
visited Ely, and at once, seeing the
splendid future of the camp, invested
here. He built the Northern hotel be-
fore the railroad was completed into
camp. 1t cost him about $4,000. If
he had waited it would have cost him
less, but he is not the kind of man
that waits: and his good Judgment is
shown in the fact that the new hotel
has been put in readiness Just at the
right time-at the time when it is most
needed.
Apart from his business, he is a great
lover of sports of all kinds. It was
through his efforts that the Ely Athlet
ic club was organized. This club,
through Mr.. Richard, has already be
come famous in the sporting world,
having offered big purses. for, some of
ture. 1t seems probable that the club
will get the return match between
'Battlingo Nelson and "Joe' Cans,
and other coming events of interest all
over the country.
Mr.. Richard has also succeeded in ac-
curing some very valuable mining
property in the Ely district. He made
great : business stroke when he
bought the Christmas group for $4,000,
the men who sold admitting that had
they held the property until after the
big strike was made in. the adjoining
McDonald-Ely holdings they could have
got many times that sum for the
ground.
In one day, recently, he paid $4,000
to prospectors and c1aim-owners for
their properties, and has since made
payments upon bonded mines which
will aggregate considerably more than
that sum-
The companies in which he is an off
Ger or is heavily interested are:
The United Ely
The Ely Mohawk.
The Ely Nevada.
The Boston Ely.
Among Mr.. richards associates in
his mining enterprises is Thomas
Rockhill, the noted pioneer Of the dis
trict. Mr.. Rockhill has made q large
fortune in selling some of his holdings
here, but, seeing that the big compa
MES will make millions for the thou
sands they have spent, has decided now
that he has ample capital to mine the
| ore upon his remaining claims and
| share in the big harvest.

PAYN on INSURANCE REFORM.
Says P1att Got Big Contributions From
New York Bills to Pass.

ALBANY, March 2O.-Field Marshal Lou
payn, former Insurance Commissioner,
said to-day that the SliS,OO0 campaign
contributions that the trustees Of the New
York Life Insurance Company were to
repay would not, in his opinion, make
up the amount that Senator Thomas C.
Plat alone had received for campaign
contributions from the New York Life.
Mr.. Payn said Of andrew Hamilton:
'H he had come back from Paris a few
months ago Mr.. Mccall would be walking
the streets to-day,
sMr. Hamilton undoubtedly told a good
many truths before the insurance COM
mittee. The trustees of great corpora
tions do not know what is being done in
them. What | saw is true OF insurance
companies. of banks. of railroads and Of
all the great corpora tons In the country.
The president or the executive. officer
submits bills and says these are all right
The trustees approve them without even
opening them.
aIn my opinion the presidents of the great
insurance companies made a mistake when
they came to Albany to speak before the
committee. They should not have made
any suggestions whatever to the COM
mittee. Their action was foolish and
ridiculous"
'Do you think that what Mr., Hamilton
said will make any change in the proposed
lepislation?" he was asked.
II do not think So" Mr.. Payn replied
sThe 'hosses' eyes are sot.' as the boys say,
The bills will be attacked, but | do not think
that that will make any difference

Homblower was in conference yesterday

iRREsTING CROOKS on SIGHT.
Police Headquarters Badly Crowde Last

Central Office sleuths have for several

the Magistrates turned them out the next

Yesterday afternoon and last night thirty
six old offenders we're picked up in different
parts of the city and locked up at Police
HEADQUARTERS as suspicious persons. With
the usual haul of offenders, Police Head
quarters was badly crowded. 1t was neoes-

NEW JERSEY WON'T INVESTIGATE
RESOLUTION Calling for Insurance Inquiry
Still In Committee.

TRENTON, n. j.. March 20,-Following
the example of Senator Colby, Assembly
man Martin made to-day a vigorous but
unsuccessful effort to compel the House
Committee to report his joint resolution
providing for an investigation Of insurance
icompanies along the lines OF the recent in
fquiry in New York State.
The two reforrners introduced similar
RESOLUTIONS Ia each mouse in tile hope that
should one fail the other might prevail.
further. consideration of the resolution
was defeated to-day by a vote OF 81 to ~
and it Is probably destined to die in the
hands Of the committee.
Mr.. Martin made a bitter attack upon
former United States Senator James Smith,
Jr., the Democratic leader of New Jersey.
He said that Mr.. Smith as the reputed,
towner of the Newark Daily Advertiser had
strongly urged an insurance investigation
last fall, having at that time a large claim
AGAINST the Public Service Corporation,
which is closely allied with the Prudential
Insurance Company and the Fidelity Trust
Company of Newark. Since that time,
he sgid, Mr.. Smiths claim had been salts
facforily adjusted, and to-day his news
paper is opposing an investigation OF any
sort.
MIR. Martin said the defnand for an in
y~estigatibn was on behalf of the policy
holders of the Prudential company, and he
Thought il st TRANCE that the company should
apparently court an investigation in New
York and so bitterly oppose one in its W
State.
Leader Perkins of Union and Assembly
man BIrber Of Mercer led the opposition
against the investigation. They OPENLY
charged that it was demanded for political
reasons. Mr.. Barber said it had been
publicly stated and not denied that Cor

CLERK GONE, JEROME CALLED IN,
Comr. Rebberd Has Accountants at Work
In Charities Department.


Commissioner Robert W. Hebberd Of the
Department of Charities explained yester-
day to reporters why he recently ordered
that all letters directed to employees OF
the department and not marked personal
should he opened by his private secretary.
The order followed information received
from the tinted Cha rites that in the Ave
wears prior to 1902 there had been pecula-
tons in the department amounting to
about $50 900.
The order rega riding the opening Of letters
was promulgated on February S. Soon
after that one of those employees who
nave the handling Of money began TO absent
himself and he had remained away for
over three weeks when he was discharged
for being absent without leave.
When Commissioners Hebberd took Office
on January I he asked the Commissioner
of Accounts to go over the books OF all
employees handling funds. 1t was re-
ported that the books were in good shape.
When this particular mans continued
absence became noticea BILE the United
Charities sent an accountant to look over
his books. The result of the investigation
has been reported to Commissioner Heb
herd and the Commissioner has made a
report to the Office Of the District Attorney

held, had made afRdavits that they had on

receipts they signed were blank as to
amounts.
