RUNAWAY TEAM
ON LYONS AVENUE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Five young men employed on the
Graham Mercantile company's cellar
were the victims of an accident while
driving early last evening. and by good
fortune escaped serious injury, which
it seemed at the time was unavoidable.
The men were w. c. Nelson. j. Nc
Bride a. Hanson and two others whose
names could no. be obtained While
driving r. E. Dodson's Buster Brown
team in Lyons avenue at the point
where the new grade is being estab-
lished, the carriage wheel struck a
rock, frightening the horses. They
swerved aside and the carriage wheels
striking the elevated part of the grade,
was overturned. The horses freed
themselves from the carriage and bolt
ed for the stable
All of the occupants of the carriage
were more or less bruised and scratch
ed. one of them being rendered uncon-
scious for a few moments from the
shock. He quickly recovered, however.

POSTAL OFFICIAL
TELLS PLANS FOR
LINE THROUGH ELY
c. c. Adams, ViCe.PreSident of the
Company, Says that a Line
will be Run via Ely, from
Salt Lake to Frisco

In connection with the article that
appeared in the News a few days ago
Ia the effect that the Postal Telegraph
company is expecting to build n trunk
line from Salt Lake City to the Pacific
coast via Ely. a story was printed in
a Salt Lake paper Saturday telling
what c. c. Adams. vice president of the
Postal, had to say about it.
Mr. Adams is in the western coun-
try for the purpose of inspecting the
interests of the Postal company in gem
cral, hut more especially for the pur-
pose of ascertainng the hast aud most
convenient means. of reaching san
Francisco with a line of copper wires
by way of Salt Lake and the Nevada
route.
what I have done" said Mr. Adams
last evening, at the Alta club. "is
merely preliminary Ia the real work
of extending our lines westward. We
want to, get into san Francisco with
another route, our present facilities
are satisfactory As far as they go, but
they are Inadequate to handle the
business that is pressed ON MS every
day. We have constant calls for leased
wires that we cannot give
IF we go to San Francisco from Your
eity-and that is practically n settled
fact-we will go through Nevada and
the new mining camps and mining
towns and mining cities that are
springing up or are i'm existence al
ready. We do not intend to follow the
railroads will build overland. and |
believe that we will save time and
money by doing SO, especially IN the
districts to which | refer.

high officials the plans that have been
brought To my attention. | have little
doubt that they will carry. We will
erect line carrying at least four first
class wires-=that is, copper wires-if
our plans go through.
"The Mackay company is extending
its service every day. Next Septem-
Der we will have n new cable direct

TO THE EDITOR ELY
MINING EXPOSITION: !:

In the issue of your paper of the
17th inst. YOU take issue and in ma
licious and scurrilous manner question
the integrity of the jurors in the case
of the state vs. one Austin, when you
sstate that said findings were regarded
as "a travesty by all acquainted with
the facts.
Now sir, in reply we will say that
said verdict was rendered by six regu-
larly empannelled, responsible citizens,
who have the general welfare of the
camp at heart, as much as any six men
i'm this town, and furthermore. these
conclusions were reached after hear
ing the law and evidence, to say moth
ing about having been ordered by the
court TO repair to the premises and in
snect the same all of which were CIV
ON our earnest consideration. and now,
n fter we have done our sworn duty,
we feel that we are the ones who have
heen most maliciously and unwarrant-
edly slurred by said article.
We as a body may not be quite rs
bright or would-be popular as the au-
thor of said article. for be it under
stood. we consider him an ass. to pre-
sume to pose as the criterion of SIN
OF his peers anywhere and at all times
and in conclusion We wish to state u
The public that we were not sworn to
serve up an object lesson, and fufther-
more. we found on the adjoining lo'
conditions ten-fold worse than upon
the premises of said Austin, and so IN
formed the court Now we ask, IN al
fairness to the public. why, why &c
they not these would-be guardian an
gels, who are so very solicitious as t6
the welfare of this community lodge
a complaint against the owners OF the
aforesaid ten-fold flthier premises?

GIROUX CRUSHER
BALKS ON WAY TO
COMPANY'S MILL

The big ore crusher designed for the
GirouX Consolidated companYs mill,
under course of construction at the
company's property in Robinson can
yon has had a, strenuous time in be-
ing transported from the freight yards
to the millsite.
The crusher arrived here January l
and the freighters who have the haul
ing of supplies, machinery and other
freight to the company's estate, es-
sayed at once to remove the heavy ma
chine.
The crusher was loaded onto wide
gauge bob-sled and Il number of teams
were htched 10 the load. All went we'll
for time. barring a few break-downs
and the wreeking of sled or two
( Then an unexpected thaw set in. and
the sled was hopelessly mired, and the
freighters were helplessly stalled,
As soon as the roads began to i'm
prove the crushcr was loaded onto n
heavy freight wagon, and three or four
teams were put to use in hauling the
mill.
All went well again for Short time
when suddenly something snapped. and

the wagon with it. Then the teams
were unhitched. and taken to the barn,
al fter the wreckage of the wagon was
cleared away.
With the mill approaching compile
tion, the necessity of getting the
crusher to the ground was made ap-
parent to the freighters who made
another attempt to get the crusher ON
the way.
The last effort was partly successful
in that. while they did not get the
crusher to the MILL they learned how
! tn do it,
When the wagon with its heavy load
reached the railroad track, over which
/ ii had to pass, the crusher was seized
with a demonical impulse to wreck a
train. Acting on this impulse which
/ 1t would haze scorned in <saner mo-
ments. the crusher toppled from the
wagons at the moment they were
athwart the tracks
But the fates were against the
crusher. and instead of throwing itself
across the tracks and possibly wreck
ing train. the crusher leaped few
feet too Ear and slid into the soft mud
At the fool of the grade
/ In falling the crushcr loosened q
4 number of its points and several heavy
castings became detached. The result
was that the freighters conceived the
i idea of taking the crusher to pieces
land moving it to the mill in sections
After giving the anatomy of the
crusher a day of careful study and in
ypstigation the work of dissecting il
has commenced and 1t is likely that
unless the big machine is "hoodooed,
it will be ready for installation in the
mill within the next few days.

ELY BAII. TEAM MAY
GET ON NEW LEAGUE

A baseball league, embracing teams
from II dozen towns in Nevada and
Utah is being projected by John Pow
ers, organizer of leagues. who is now
in Salt Lake and Ogden. working mp
an interest in the plan.
Powers proposes To unite the teams
of half dozen towns in Nevada with
probably smaller number in Utah in
two-state league, which will furnish
food for Nbaseball fans in both states
during the present summer.
Thus far, Ely has not been mentioned
as possible factor in the league. but
local fans. 1t is said. will call Powers
attention to the fact that this town is
ON the map, and that there is a team In
existence here which is eligible to ira
vel in the fast company Of the proposed
| brush lpgue
The Nevada towns which Powers
proposes to have In the league are
Reno. Golddeld. Rhyolite. Tonopah,
Carson and Virginia city The Utah
towns which it Is thongIff will get in
the plan are Salt Lake. ogden aud pos
siblY Provo.
These would give the league nine
teams The attention of the promoter
will be called by local fans to the fact
that na class of sport would be better
patronized here than a league baseball
game. if Ely is in the league Powers
will leave Ogden next Friday for the
Nevada towns which he has slated for
places on his organization, and if the
local players are quick enough to catch
him. he may be induced to come here
and talk the situation over with them.

advantage under unpleasant conditions

the players.

the grass roots to a depth of forty feet
in the Sunshine shaft of the Ely Con-
solidated Copper company's holdings,

cent copper. and is the richest ear of
copper ore ever shipped out of the
camp
The ore was hauled to the ear III
wagons. through the principal streets
of the town yesterday by Eugene At

fact that 40 per cent copper was taken
