GEO. |. HUBS, ONCE FAMOUS
FINDS FRIEND IN DEATH

George L. Hubbs, who at one time
welded facile pen, died here yester-
day morning under distressing circum-
stances. He had been i'll and prac-
tically homeless for weeks, but friends
provided for his temporary needs and
decent burial was arranged for yester-
day by A. D. Myers, of Goldfeld. Mr..
Myers knew Hubbs in the heyday of
his prosperity, at Gibbonsville, Idaho,
and is anxious to locate daughter and
brother of the dead man who are sup
posed to be living somewhere in Nevada
or California.
"Hubbs was a carpenter and mill
wright by trade" Mr.. Myers said,
"but he wrote well and used to pre-
pare most of the speeches that We're
delivered by candidates for office in his
section of Idaho. His brother served
in the State Senate of Nevada or Cali
fornia Pm not sure which State it was
and was very prominent for time. "
Hubbs was about so years old.

ARE HOT AFTER
CLAIM JUMPERS
Secret Organization Effected to
Suppress Attempts 10
Seize Properties
TO WARN OFFENDERS
Determined Steps Will Be Taken
if Notices Of Society Are
DiSregarded

About forty mining men of the camp
have organized society for the sup
preston of claim jumping. This action
was caused by the irritating conditions
in some parts Of the district, in which
properties on which the location and
even assessment work has been done
are literally plastered with new notices.
The executive committee of the new
organization will notify all known of
tenders to desist from their activities
and if the warnings arc disregarded,
will take radical steps.
To a NEWS reporter member of the
association said last night: 1--WE mean
business This has always been a
peaceable district, with an enviable
reputation for fraternal feeling and
observance of the law. We are de-
termined that that feeling shall continue,
and men who are disturbing element
and seek to stir up feuds and fights,
and engage in the stealing of claims will
have to change their ways or get out
of the camp. That is all there is to
it.
'If the men who are now jumping
claims or advising the jumping of
claims are willing to turn to honest
prospecting or devote their attention
to properties that are vacant and open
for location, all will be harmonious;
but if they persist in jumping claims
and trying to make mess of things,
there will be something doing. The
offenders will receive only one warn

Ely's new bank, the First National,

talist, who also has large financial in
terests here, is to be the vice-president

Rickard will be member of the Board

it is understood, have acquired, or are
about to purchase, stock in the new
bank
A site for the First National Bank
was obtained yesterday by A. B.
Wichter, who bought through H. c.
Herrick & Co. a lot at Fourth and
Aultman streets for $4,000.
When this building is completed there

LOTS PRICE JUMPS
$l,50O IN A MONTH

The two lots at Fifth and Aultman
streets, which were sold in the spring
for 81, 200, changed hands again yester-
day, the price being $1,000. The
ground which belonged to 4. b. Wich-
ter, was sold through H. c. Herriek &
Co., to Ole Remen and l.. Larson.
They could have immediately resold it
for $1,000, but would not let go, as
they intend to erect tWo-story office
and business block upon the ground.
This property has had an interesting
history. Clark, the painter, sold the
lots to Walker & Boreman in the

Three Cars of Overland Limited
East Bound, Are Derailed
in Collision at Verdi
NARROW ESCAPES
A. G CoPbet tt, A d. Campton and
Mrs. II. w. Fletcher We're
Among Those Shaken Up

Exaggerated reports of train
wreck on the Southern Pacific reached
Ely yesterday, and it was not until the
evening train arrived from Cobre that
anything like connected account of
what had happened came to hand.
Several Elyites were concerned in
the wreck, and from them the details
were obtained.
An open switch at Verdi, it appears,
resulted in a collision between the
Overland Limited, No, 2, and Southern
Pacific train No 4, in which sleeper
Of the Overland was overturned.
Two women, Mrs. George McCaner
of Oakland and Mrs. Goldbutt of
Fresno, were badly injured, otherwise
the imprisoned passengers escaped with
bruises and scalp wounds. The acci-
dent occurred early Tuesday morning.
Aboard the Limited was Mr.. A. G. Cor
bett of Ely, while on the other train,
also bound hither, were Mr.. A. D.
Campton and relative and Mrs. H. w.
Fletcher. There was happy reunion
of Elyites when the wreck had been
cleared away.
1.-THE Overland left San Francisco
at II o'clock Monday morning." Mr..
Corbett said, two hours behind No. a.
About l O'Clock Tuesday morning we
were passing No. at Verdi when the
collision occurred. The slower train
was running at reduced speed on sid
ing to the north of us. Some one had
left switch open, and as we slid past,
on the main track, the engine of No. a,
running through the switch, bumped
into the sleeper Truckee, in which /
had lower berth. The sensation, on
awakening, was as if the car was turn
ing oyer and over, bat, as matter of
fact, it had merely rolled over once.
found myself in the opposite berth, in
darkness, somewhat bruised, but not
hurt to speak of With the exception
of one passenger, an excitable German,
the occupants of the car behaved well.
An old lady, who was travelling alone,
was badly hurt, yet no word of COM

tlement For Mines Which Will
Comprise Ely Calumet
Copper Company
$4,000 IS DlSBURSED
Working Shaft TO Be Sunk as Soon
as Practicable to Strike the
SuIphide Ore Bodies

Cash payments, aggregating $43, 600,
will be completed today by A D. My
ers of Goldfieid upon a number Of
claims, which are to be included in a
company to be known as the Ely Ca,u-
met Copper Company, When the ac
counts are squared, Mr.. Myers will
have paid $63, 200 for the Ely Calumet
group.
81 am anticipating these final pay
ments Mr.. Myers said, "by several
months in order TO get the company un-
der way. Besides, there is saving of
10 per cent. in discounts by making the
payments now This is an advantage
to the company, while the money paid
out will enable those who receive it TO
proceed without delay in developing the
camp"
The payments made were upon the
Christmas and Manila groups, north Of
the town of Ely, and the Kelly, White,
Stewart and johnson claims, adjoining.
The company acquires from Thomas
Rockhill, for stock, considerable ground,
the entire holding comprising twenty
one locations, or about 400 acres.
Mr.. Myers said to NEWS reporter
that he had arranged to place in New
York enough treasury stock to yield
$75,OOO working capital.
81 don't think we shall bother with
drills" he added. "The Mcdonald
Ely Company, whose ground adJoins
ours, is developing good ore bodies, and
we feel certain that the same charac-
ter of sulphides will be found on cur
ground. Therefore, the company will
probably sink a working shaft and get
down to real business as soon as pos
sibler"
From Ely Mr.. Myers will 60 to Long
Beach, CAL, whe h. is building a
home, and thence to New York, stop
ping en- route at G ldfield.

as comfortable as possible until an am
bulance came Another woman, occu-
pying the stateroom with a child,
shouted for help, and we battered
down the door and released her. She
was not injured, but had been caught
in such way that the lower part of
her body was buried in the snow, and
her position was far from comfortable.
1.-The colored porter of the Truckee
comported himself like hero. He
was cool and collected throughout, and
did everything possible to assist the
ladies' When everybody had been
taken out we saw that two other cars
had left the track. One was prevented
from topping over by a telegraph pole,
the other being suspended on the grade.
places were found for the Over
land Passengers on train No. 4, and
after some little delay we continued on
to Cobre. | found Mr.. Campton and
Mrs. Fletcher on No. at breakfast
Tuesday morning, .
Mr.. A. d. Campton was in the wreck.
He returned to Ely last night from
California, after AIN absence of about
three months He is here to attend to
the details of some business matters, and
will remain about ten days. Speaking
of the wreck, he said
"Our train left Oakland at 9:37, and
the Overland Limited left there at l 80.
Usually the Overland passes the earlier
train at Boca, but on the night of the
accident it was to pass at Verdi. To
leave the track clear for the Limited,
our train took the siding at Verdi,
moving slowly toward the East end, so
as to pass upon the main line behind
the Limited. While we were moving
along the siding, the Limited was
passing. About half way to the end of
the siding We. came to a switch that
had been left open, and ran out to the
main line, striking the rear of the
Limited and wrecking three coaches.
Our locomotive was badly damaged.
aboard our train, however, we did
not know that there had been an acci-
dent for two hours. The first intima-
tion that there had been wreck was
given when the Pullman conductor told
the porter to get the berths ready for
those people He was asked what
people he meant and replied, The peo-
pie from the wrecked coaches.
when the passengers from the
Limited came aboard, l found that
there were only two Ely people among
them, A. G. Corbett and Mrs. H. w.

HE WEPT TO EXTORT
MONEY FROM RADFORD
W. Senett, Pretending That His
Brother Had Been Killed,
Get SIS.

Thinking that he helping a fellow
man in deep distress, H. c. Radford,
of the Star lodging house, let w. Senett
have SIS to assist in arranging for the
burial of an imaginary brother of Senett,
whom, the man declared, had been
killed in the train wreck near McGill.
Finding yesterday that Senett had de-
ceived him, Radford had the man ar
rested for obtaining money under false
pretenses. When taken before Justice
of the Peace Cartwright, Senett
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
bound over for trial in the District
Court.
Senett entered the Star lodging house
in tears few nights ago and told Mr..
Radford that his brother had been
killed in the accident and that he
needed $5 with which to wire the sad
news to relatives. Mr.. Badford let him
have the money. Soon after, Senett
returned and asked for SIS with which
to purchase shroud. He got it. Then
he came back for another $5. Again
he got the money.
Feeling sorry for the man, Mr.. Rad
ford thought of doing more for him
and made some inquiries about the sup
posed dead man, even coming to THE
NEWS office at late hour at night to
ascertain where the body had been
taken. He did not discover, however,
until yesterday that he had been the
victim of a mean trick. Then he be-
came indignant and had the man ar
rested.
