PHEBY LEAVES
FOR NEW YORK
Whether His Visit Has Anything TO
Do With Sale Of the Ely Nor.
thern Is Not Known.

A deal of great Importance to Nevada
and to Ely in particular is under nego-
tiation in New York affecting the es-
tate of the Ely Northern Copper COM
pany. Mr.. Joseph Pheby left here
few weeks ago for New York where ne
has been in conference with +. Aug.
Heinze and other copper magnates.
Whether or not the deal has been con-
summated can not be ascertained from
the parties in control Of this group of
mines. 1t is significant however that
Mr.. F. S. Pheby was summoned to
New York by wire on Tuesday and left
on the first train out. About month
ago, Mr. Heinze made the trip to Ely
to examine these properties aud went
away greatly impressed with the show
ing and development on the group. tie
made proposition at that time for con-
troll but could not induce the holders to
accept the terms then offered. AS has
been known for some time past, it has
been but question Of price standing
between his assumption of power and
the deal he stands willing to make.
The properties of the Ely Northern
have local reputation They were
the first mines here ever to have pro-
duced metallic copper. They were mined
in the early eighties and nothing was
treated which ran less than % per
cent copper. The smeter Stag left
from the treatment Of these ores at
Lane City has been carefully sampled
the last few weeks and carries copper
and gold to such q degree, that the Am
erican Smelling Company have offered
a price for it showing a good profit
over freight and treatment.
the tunnel on the Mitchell claim OF
the group is being pressed as fast as
labor can drive it. Electric drills will
be employed to do this work and but a
brief time will elapse before it gets
under the copper ledge cropping
throughout the length Of the claim for
width of over 40 feet. This tunnel will
also open up the big ore bodies running
through the Florence ard Olathe cliama.
The depth obtained from this tunnel
will be about 500 feet and a big area can
be worked through it. The develop
ments on the properties show that the
tunnel, will be we'll into the sulphide
zone, where permanent ore values will
be encountered. The ore bodies on
this group are huge in size and carry
high values in copper and gold. The
miners intimately acquainted with this
cronud are the ones who make the big
claims for it.

BOATS IN COLLISION.
Despite Wild Panic, No One is
Injured.

Two crowded excursion steamers
were in collision Thursday night In
New York harbor, off Staten Island,
/ imperiling the lives of 1900, but
neither in the crash itself nor in the
wild panic which followed was any
one seriously injured.
The vessels were the Perseus, of
the Iron Steamboat Company, bound
for Coney Island, with 500 passengers
on board. and the Thomas Patren, of
the Patten line, bound fyrom Long
Branch to New York, carrying 1000
passengers. The shrill whistles of the
colliding steamers soon brought as
sistance from boats in the bay and the
passengers were transferred as quick
ly as possible and taken to New York.
The Perseus and the Patten inter
locked and neither sank. Wrecking
vessels were sent to their rescue.
The lower harbor was covered with
dense fog at the time and the ves-
sells were running at reduced speed.
When directly off st. George, Staten
Island, the Thomas Patten crashed
with terrific force into the port side nf
the Perseus, smashing the paddle
wheel and box and tearing away much
Of the joiner work. The Patterns bow
and upper foredecks were badly dam
aged. The impact was so great that
the vessels remained fast together. No
effort was made by the Patten to
break away, for 1t was felt that safety
from sinking lay in the vessels remain
ing interlocked.
When the Patten loomed suddenly
out of the fog bank, and it was seen
that a collision was unavoidable, the
passengers on the two vessels became
frantic with fear. Just before the
crash one man on the Perseus jumped
overheard, but was rescued. The
crews were quickly summoned to
quarters, and the captains and officers
went among the passengers in an ef-
fort to restore quiet. A hasty exam
fnation indicated that neither vessel
was in immediate danger of going
down and the excursionists were as
sured of this fact
meantime the whistles were calling
assistance, and while the passengers
were rushing about the decks seeking
relatives and friends the excursion
boats Commodore and Staten Island
municipal ferry boat ran alongside.
The transfer of passengers was quick
ly made and all were taken to the city.
During the panic many women
tainted and some were bruised, but
not seriously.

DISEASE WAS IN LEMONADE.
Many Who Drank 1t Are Now Ill with
Fever

An epidemic of typhoid fever
throughout the northern part of the
state may be the result of the recent
Milwaukee excursion to Evarts
Ten of the excursionists from Ips-
wich are down with the disease, while
reports from nearby towns along the
line swell the number of fever pa
tients to 100, with probably as many
more from more distant points.
An investigation has disclosed the
fact that the lemonade which was dis
pensed at Evarts by the barrel on the
day of the excursion was made from
water taken from an old we'll that had
not been used for years.
No arrests have yet been made, but
If any deaths occur from the fever the
authorities are determined to demand
the prosecution of the parties who
served the lemonade.

ICE RIOT IN NEW YORK.
Five Hundred Men, Women and Chill
dren Take Part.

Five hundred men, women and chill
dren took part in a riot in the east
side. New York City, Thursday, dur
ing which they made raid on a wag-
onload of ice intended for free distri-
button among them, and took every
pound in the wagon. The crowd was
composed of persons holding tickets
issued by the dispensaries and hos
pitals emitting them to ice without
cost.
The distribution was to have been
made at Cherry and Jefferson Streets,
but the wagon was late in arriving.
When it appeared the icemen began
to chop the blocks into small pieces
and one of the impatient ones snatch
ed piece and ran. Instantly there
was free fight for the remainder, in
which women fought sturdily against
men for a five-pound piece of ice.

PEACE TREATY SIGNED.
Central American Republics Settle
Differences.


A treaty of peace between Guate-
mala, Salvador and Honduras was
signed Friday on board the United
States cruiser Marblehead on the high
seas Off the Guatemalan coast.
The peace commissioners of Guate-
mala were landed Immediately. The
members of the American legations
will land at the respective points
where they are accredited.
There was a strenuous discussion
and some difficulty in reaching mu-
tually acceptable conditions. The
Mexican minister, Senior Gamboa, was
active in assisting in bringing about
an agreement.
The peace commissioners adopted
resolutions thanking the presidents of
the United States and Mexico for their
Intervention.
The war. which bade fair to involve
four or more republics in addition to
the two originally concerned, Salvador
and Guatemala, began in May with
the departure of expeditions from
Salvador under the leadership of Gen.
Toledo.
Engagements with varying results
Were fought between the insurrection-
ary forces and those of the govern
ment of Guatemala, until Salvador
formally entered the convention. A
little later a Guatemalan force en-
tered Honduras, the result being to
array that republic on the side Of Sal
vador.
The moment the trouble passed be-
yond the phase of an internal disturb
ance the government at washington
set about instituting measures for the
re-establishment of peace. The cruis-
er Marblehead was ordered from Pan
anna to La Libertad, with directions to
report to Leslie Combs, American
minister to Guatemala and Honduras,
and Mr.. Combs and William L. Merry
minister to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and
Salvador, were instructed e. use their
best endeavors with tne belligerents
to bring the wsr to an end.
AT the same time David E. Thomp-
son. American ambassador to Mexico,
was instructed to make such repre-
sentations to the Mexican govern
ment as might enlist its efforts for
the same end, Mexico's desire for
peace between its neighbors being we'll
known. Mexico entered heartily into
the project and its diplomatic repre-
sentatives In Guatemala and salvador
were instructed to cooperate with
Ministers Merry and Combs.
Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras
agreed to an armistice beginning at
o'clock the morning of July Is.

DIE CAST FOR WAR
CzAR's ACTION MEANS BLOODY
CONFLICT IN RUSSIA.
Stern Repression Reigns--Capital AL
ready Under Practical Dictatorship
Opposition Not Unprepared--
General Strike Expected.


With the imperial ukase dissolving
at st. Petersburg Sunday morning,
the curtain rose upon possibly the
last act in the great drama of the
Russian revolution. The people and
the government now stand face TO
face, and upon the army depends the
immediate issue. Even should the
government succeed in establishing an
outbreak of the people the victory
probably will only be temporary and
simply confine the steam of the ini-
tial explosion. No one doubts the Sc
verify of the storm which will rise
In the country in response to the en-,
peror's dispersal of the men whom
winter palace as the best men in
Russia"
But the die is cast The govern
ment has elected to fight and the cap
ital Sunday bore eloquent testimony
OF the preparations made to repress
the masses by force. The city was
packed with soldiers and resembled
an armed camp.
During Saturday night additional
troops were brought in and disposed
according to plans adopted previously.
The reinforcements include four in
fantry regiments of the Chevalier
guards, mounted grenadiers and a
battery of machine guns. The troops
occupied railroad stations and the
bridges across the rivers and canals,
and the patrols of both police and
gendarmes were everywhere doubled
The work OF gathering in revolu-
tionary agjtators began Immediately
after the ukase placing st. Petersburg
in "a state OF extraordinary security"
was promulgated, and hundreds OF
arrests were made before daylight
The powers conferred upon M. Won
der Launitz, project of police, and M.
xinovieff, governor general of the
province. are little short Of those OF
petty dictators. Searches and arrests
can be made without process OF law.
newspapers forced to suspend publ
cation and persons deported by ad-
ministrative order without trial Pub
lie and private meetings are forbid
den. Those arrested may, If it is de-
sired, be tried by military court and
summarily executed. The only real
difference between extraordinary Sc
curity" and full martial law is that
power Is exercised by the so-called
civil instead OF military authority.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENsED FORM.
Near acknowledgements Ex-
perience of Prisoner In an Effort 10
Escape--Carted to Depot Before
scheme Was Discovered.

Fred Burton, one of the toughest
,risoners at the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary, who is serving fourteen-year
sentence for robbing the bank at
Springfield, made a bold but unsuc-
cessful attempt to escape Saturday.
Since the starting of the shirt fac
tory there has been certain amount
of scrap cloth that has at certain
periods been gathered up, shipped
back to the mills in the east to be
made over into cloth. These scraps
are baled and sewed up in gunny-
sacks for shipment.
Saturday, one Of the guards, Frank
Carter, together with a trusty were
engaged in drawing bales of these
scraps from the penitentiary to the
railroad for shipment. In moving one
particular bale Guard Carter thought
that II was exceptionally heavy.
Mr. Carter's suspicious were
aroused and he out with a jackknife
and opened the top of the bale ana
inserted his hand amongst the rags.
He soon came in contact with mans
head. and the next instant voice call
ed out, Frank, for Gods sake get me
out of here"
Mr. Garter tnen went 10 the teie-
phone and informed Warden Parmley
of the fact of a man being found in
one of the bales. He was ordered to
return the man to the penitentiary.
When the rags were dumped out
Burton came rolling out on the floor
in a semi-conscious condition. The
man was nearly all In.
When the bundle was examined an
ingenious oontrivance was discovered
1t was found that barrel had been
placed in the center OF the bundle In
which Burton had been placed. This
had been done to protect Burton's
body against the strong pressure
which is placed on the bales of rags
when they are tied up with ropes for
shipment.
The whole plan was smoothly exc
cuted and had the precaution been
taken of providing better arrange
ments for the prisoner to breathe he
would probably have made his escape.
He became short of breath, which
made his position uncomfortable and
this was what gave him away.
1t is not yet known who the parties
are that aided him in his unsuccess-
full attempt to escape ....
Burton is one of the Jocko Wilson
gang of bank robbers who are sup
posed to have committed several bur-
glaries In this section last summer and
fall.
