Richards Blue Bell
Fraction Gone

G. L. Rickard discovered, on his re-
turn from tn east, that several tract
ions in the Blue Bell group of claims,
near Pilot Knob, had been taken up.
He bought the Blue Bell ground from
mickey, the Tough and o. Fl. Paul
son, who had staked cut the claims in
such way that there was liberal
margin in each of them above the area
allowed by law. Mr.. Richard, on hay
ing the claims surveyed, discovered the
existence of this extra ground, and ilg-
ured upon taking it up, but before he
could make the move, o. E. Mann, the
surveyor, while doing some work in the
vicinity of the Blue ellground, noticed
that several fractions existed and
promptly took them up.

Rattle Snake Thought
Spring Had Come

The spring-like thaw which has con-
tinued for week or more has deceived
the rattle snakes and lured them from
aeir winter quarters. S. r. McLaugh-
lin, the assayer took q walk up Murray
Creek the other day and near the
springs encountered ratter in the
sage brush. 1t was a big fellow with
five rattles, which, at the approach Of
the s.ssayer, set up a threatening hum
ming. Mr.. Mclaughlin killed the rep
tile with stick and brought the rattles
back as trophy.

WORKMAN KILLED
AT SHELTER
William Hurst, a Fireman, Crushed
to Death Under 0yerturnin9
Steam Shovel

William Hurst, a fireman, WAS in
stantly killed by the overturning of the
steam shovel at the smelter site on Sat
urday afternoon. Edward Prince, en-
gineer of the steam shovel, was severe
ly scalded by escaping steam, but Is
not fatally injured, it is thought.
Hurst went to work at the smeter
site on Saturday morning, having ar
rived from Salt Lake the night before.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
the steam shovel was set to work fer
the first time upon the smelter founda-
ton. Fifteen minutes later, it tipped
over, imprisoning Hurst beneath its
weight.
Before Prince could escape from the
overturr ed machine, he was badly
burned about the face and breast by
the escaping steam.
The derrick was used in lifting the
steam shovel from the fireman, but he
was dead before help reached him. He
must have been killed instantly.
Hurst was about Is years old.
Prince is the chief assistant OF Ed
ward Morrow at the smelter site, ard
is valuable man.
1t is not known what caused the
steam shovel to overturn so soon after
it was placed in operation, but it is be-
lieved that there was some fault it its
supports.
The remains of the dead man have
been brought to Ely. An inquest was
held yesterday, the verdict of the cor
oner's jury being to the effect that
Hurst's death was accidental.
1t has been learned that Hurst had a
brother and sister living in Salt Lake.
The brother is a letter carrier. He
has been notified, and will probably
take charge of the remains.

JEFFRlES MATCHED

Heavy Weight Champion Will

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

SPECIAL TO The NEWS
San Francisco, Dec. 30. The best
man of 'em all, Jim Jeffries, is match
ed with Billy Squires, of Australia, to
fight for the heavy weight champion
ship of the world. The match will take
place at Ryolte New, next April for a
$50, 900 purse and the belt, the winner
to take GO per cent. and the loser 40
per cent. of the money. Billy Delaney
accepted the challenge of the Australian
for Jetfries and B. rs Taylor, repre-
senting the Ryolite Athletic Club, did
the rest.
Squires wired yesterday that he was
ready to start for this country at any
time.
When Jefferies retired to his Cali
fornia ranch, weighted down with fis-
tie honors, he declared that he was done
with the fighting game forever. At
the time, wise ones shook their heads
and said that he would return to the
ring, tempted by the bats held out by
enterprising promoters. What the
wise guys said has come true The
question now is will Jeffries also cling
to pugiism until he tastes the bitter
cup of defeat from younger and bet

DUPLICATION OF RECORDS BY ABSTRACT COMPANY
Permitted by Incumbent County Recorder for Any Reason Whatsoever
WOULD DEPRIVE FUTURE RECORDERS OF RICI1TFUL FEES

duplication of records by abstract
companies in the manner proposed by
the White Pine County Abstract Com
pany, if the emoluments of the
Recorders office are SO diverted that
succeeding recorders can be deprived of
their fees, wholly or in part,
then the usefulness of the Re-
corder's office, to the extent of such
reduction in compensation. is impaired,
and the attractiveness of the office,
which should be guarantee to the
public of earnest effort, is lessened.
To engage in such an enterprise Is
tantamount to seizure of that which
does not belong to the Recorder and
would be a fragrant breach of trust.
again, it is very bad policy to
permit any department Of the govern
ment to go into partnership with prl-
vate individuals with public records as
the exclusive stock trade OF the
firm, or corporation.
