COBALT MAN WILL
LOCATE IN ELY

Louis Smith, who has operated ex-
tensively in the Cobalt country, is in
Ely for the purpose of operating the
Nevada mine at Hamilton, which was
recently bonded by RULER & Smith.
One of the partners in the bond is
brother of Mr.. Smith.
"The Hamilton country is a good
country" said Mr.. Smith last night
1.-THE number of mines who are sack
ing high grade lead and silver ores
for shipment is truly surprising.
The ores, too, are of exceptionally
high values.
"The Nevada mine is sacking first
class stuff, along with the others.
The outlook for that district is es-
pecially good. There are literally
hundreds of thousands of tons of
ores on the many dumps of the dis
trict, running from $50 per ton up
ward These ores can be treated at
a great profit, if railroad facilities
are given to the district. The tom
mage now in sight, of ores that could
be shipped, would almost justify the
building of road. With the open
ing of the country, it is an assured
fact that road must be built sooner
or later"

Canadian Prime Minister Sees
Danger Of Invasion But Would
Not Act Hastily.
MIGHT PREC|P|TATE A PANIC
Policy of Government Should BE to
Appoint Commission and In
vestigate.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. For
the first time since the anti-Asiatic
riots in Vancouver Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier, prime minister of Canada, last
night delivered a speech on the sub
ject at a meeting of the Canadian
Manufacturers association at Toron-
to. He said in part:
THE Americans are our competi-
tors in the Japanese market, as they
are in other countries. They had the
advantage of a treaty which gave
them very great hold on the mar
kets of Japan. Our business men,
the manufacturers and the producers
of Canada, thought they should be
placed on footing of equality with
our American competitors. There
fore, we concluded the treaty which
now exists. We did it specially at
that moment because Japan had in
dicated her intention of restricting
immigration to foreign shores. and
especially to the shores of Canada.
Since that treaty has been operating
it has been of some advantage to the
manufacturers of Canada. Our trade
has increased and the farmers and
manufacturers have got the benefit
of it.
But some difficulty has arisen on
the shores of British Columbia.
has been a greater influx than be-
fore of Japanese immigrants. What
are we going to do under such cir
cumstances? A section of the peO-
pie. recently gathered in Winnipeg,
called upon the British government
to annul the treaty. The treaty has
been in operation only two years.
We are just commencing to reap the
benefit and to denounce it would be
simply panic, and for my part | am
not disposed, whether in this or asy
action, to act in panic.
ITO at once, without inquiry, de-
nounce the treaty would in my hum
BILE Judgment not be playing the part
of a responsible person. 1t should be
the policy of the Canadian govern
ment under such circumstances to re-
fleet, to inquire, and If need be, to
send a commission for more infOr-
nation and to form their conclusions
upon the conditions which they find
and be able to give deliberate judg-
ment."

RAILROAD PLANS
MATERIALLY CHANGED
WESTERN PACIFIC NOT YET
READY FOR SALT LAKE
ELY SERVICE.

The plans of the Western Pacific
to start it's first train to Ely Monday
night, which was to have arrived
here yesterday morning, have been
materially changed, and the train
service over that road will not now
be inaugurated before October Is.
1t was originally the intention of
the road to inaugurate through
train service from Salt Lake, as an
nounced in The News. These plans
are changed. however, and the new
road will only run its train to Bews,
where an --ly car will be attached to
the Nevada northern. At this time
it is not definitely arranged, whether
the Western Pacific will run to Bews
in time to meet the afternoon train,
with no delay, or whether it will be
run there in time to connect with
the train running to Cobre.
The Salt Lake-Ely Pullman service
will be continued over the Nevada
Northern.

GUARDS ON TRAIL
OF CUBAN BANDITS

HAVANA, Oct. IA band of
fourteen bandits attracted the atten-
ton of the authorities of Santiago
province recently and today detach-
ment of rural guards was sent to ap-
prehend them. Shots were exchanged
and the bandits were dispersed.
The government does not believe
that the appearance of the bandits in
Santiago province was part of the
movement planned by the conspira-
tors recently arrested here. They
are believed to be outlaws, represent
ing several foreign nations who have
been employed in the Santiago iron
mines.
Captain Dougherty, supervisor of
the rural guards at Santiago de Cuba,
has left that city for the scene of
the disturbance with an additional
detachment of rural guards and it is
believed that the bandits will be cap-
tured within a few hours.
Reports received from all other
sections of the island say that quiet
prevails.

BIG SHIPS MUST
60 To NAVY YARD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-As a re-
suit of additional changes found to
be necessary in the battleships of
Admiral Evans fleet, now under Or
ders to sail for the Pacific, it has
been found that an additional period
of fifty days must be spent by the
big ships in the navy yards, where
they are undergoing the repairs re-
quired to fit them for the voyage.
1t is hoped, however, that this ad-
ditional work can be executed with
out delaying the fleet beyond the date
set for the departure, December 10,
next.
The new work will consist in the
installation in each ship of a sys-
tenn of fire control, involving the
construction below the protected
deck of half dozen separate tele-
phone booth exchanges. These little
booths will connect not only by tele-
phone, but by voice tubes with the
captains station on the bridge and
in the coming tower and there will
be one for each calibre of gun, in
order that the commanding officer
can direct personally the fire of the
gun at will.

HUNDREDS KILLED
IN JAPANESE FLOOD

VICTORIA, Oct. 1.-Advices of a
terrible disaster due to the great
floods prevailing in Japan have been
received. The overflow of the river
Fukuchiyama, near Ryoto, caused
the loss of more than 600 lives. In
this river the water rose more than
fifty feet (ffty shaku) and swept
over the whole of the town of Kuku-
chiyama, drowning over 600 inhab-
itants and sweeping away a large
number of the frail bamboo and
thatch houses of the Japanese towns
people.
The barracks of the Twentieth
regiment, and Tenth engineers bat
talon, situated on heights near the
town, escaped damage when the town
was overwhelmed, and the troops
were hurried out to render what as
sistance could be given to the sur
vivors and to rescue drowning peo-
pie. The population of the town was
over 10000 people. Hurriedly fifty
or more sailing junks were secured
and dispatched to the scene, being
sailed over what was formerly a
thickly settled town, soldiers man.
ming the junks, saving large num-
bers. The police have recovered 600
bodies, and others are believed to
have been lost. The water subsided
next morning, August 27, and great
damage was revealed. One-half of
the town was entirely swept away,
and the remainder had large num-
bers of collapsed buildings. The
whole town was practically destroy
ed, the scene being terrible beyond
comparison. General Kuroki and
Governor Omori of Kyoto Flu were
in the city, the former being engaged
in inspecting the troops, and is said
to have narrowly escaped the dan
ger.

DYNAM|TERS TRY TO
WRECK CAR SYSTEM
LABOR TROUBLES IN SAN FRAN.
CISCO TAKE ANOTHER Sc
RIOUS TURN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Secre-
cy attends the efforts of the police
to apprehend the miscreants who at
tempted, by the use of gunpowder
last Friday night, to disable the plant
that furnishes power to the United
Railroads at Bryant and Alameda
streets.
Only by a bare chance did the plot
of the dynamiters fail of it's purpose.
Had the plot succeeded half the lines
of the United Railroads would have
been put out of commission and half
of the city would have been plunged
into darkness, for the destruction
contemplated by the conspirators in
volved the disabling of the power
house of the Independent Light and
Power company, which furnishes the
electric street lights to a great por-
tion of San Francisco.
A terrific explosion aroused all
those who reside in the vicinity of
the power house at Bryant and Ala
media streets at about 10 O'Clock Fri
day night. The railroad employees
who were then in the power house
rushed into the street, fearing that
an attempt was being made to blow
up the plant.
On investigation it was found that
an effort had been made to destroy
big wooden pole which carried the
high tension wires into the power
house. The crime appeared to be an
unusually bold one, for the pole is
located at distance of only few
feet from the power house, and the
dynamiters, while engaged in their
work, were in momentary danger of
discovery and arrest.
The shock of the explosion shat
tered the huge pole, but did not
throw it down. And that was all
that saved the great damage that
was intended to result from the eX-
plosion.
Four large holes had been bored
into the wooden pole. The first three
were stopped by the bit striking
against nails; but the fourth hole
found a clear field and was sunk
in half way through the pole. Into
this hole the gunpowder was placed.
The bomb was made of section of
rubber hose filled with giant powder
and supplied with length of fuse.
The fuse was evidently timed to ad-
NIT of the escape of the dynamiters,
for the street was clear of all suS-
picious looking persons when the
power house employees ran out into
the open Immediately after the eX-
plosion.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE
FOR BOOSTER CLUB

Il have been through and exam
ined the Veteran ore body in the
Cumberland Ely, says Donald Cat
lin, in a communication to the New
York Commercial. Il have trav-
ersed the workings of the Ruth mine
of the Nevada Consolidated. | have
inspected the Star Pointer shaft from
above and below, where it connects
through half a mile of crosscut with
the third level of the Ruth. | have
been over the Eureka ground of the
Nevada Consolidated, where 16,OOO,-
900 tons of ore, estimated to average
4 per cent copper, are blocked out.
l have gone over the surface of the
district from the Ely Calumet on the
east to the Rickard Ely on the west,
distance of nearly nine miles, and
there remains but one conclusion for
me to draw concerning the Ely camp.
It is that there will be a great city,
with a population possibly matching
that of Butte.

new ORE IS FOUND
IN MANHATTAN MINE

Maynard Bixby, well known
mineralogist of Salt Lake, is in re-
ceipt of an interesting and very val
liable specimen of a new and rare
mineral from the camp of Manhat-
tan, New 1t seems that at Manhat-
tan, p Train, the Montana mining
engineer, ran across a small pocket
of the mineral which was not over
an inch thick nor three feet in diam
eter. 1t was a new mineral to Mr..
Train, and he sent it east to Profess
sor Dana, who pronounced it new
find, naming it Trainite.
A specimen was forwarded to Mr.
Bixby of. Salt Lake, who, upon an
alysis, pronounced it phospho-sili-
cate of aluminium. This Manhattan
find is the first to be recorded of this
new mineral, and the small pocket
bids fair to be worth several dollars
a pound, owing to the desire of min
eralogists to have a specimen of it
for their cabinets. The mineral is
very beautiful, being series of lay
ers of soft hydrous mineral of vari-
Gus shades of green and brown.

POOR TELEGRAPH SERVICE
CAUSES WOMAN TROUBLE
Failure to Deliver Message Requires
Forfeiture of Good PO-
sitiOn.

Through the tardy service of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
Miss Souchreau of Verdi has been
put to great inconvenience and ex-
pense. Last Saturday Professor Gull
len wired Miss Souchreau offering
her the Kimberly school at a salary
of $S5 per month and requested an
answer.
After waiting until last night and
receiving no word the trustees en-
ployed Miss Roake. Tuesday morn
ing Mr.. Cullen received wire from
Miss Souchreau accepting the posi-
ton. The telegram was filed at
Verdi Saturday and it was nearly
three days before it was delivered.
hiss Souchreau left Reno Monday
morning on the Southern Pacific Lin
tied and arrived Tuesday. Trustee
Clapp of the Kimberly school dis
trict met Miss Souchreau at the train
and will endeavor to Square it, with
Miss Souchreau. Somebody is at
fault and it is evidently not Miss
Souchreau.

COUNTY WILL LOSE
HEAVY ASSESSMENT
FAULTY SYSTEM OF PLACING
PROPERTY ON Rolls WILL
COST HEAVILY.

Property valued at more than
$350,000, according to conserva-
tive estimate would have been left
off from the assessment roll of the
county list of taxable property, had
it not been for the fact that the board
of county commissioners discovered
within few days of the time fixed
by law for the closing of the rolls,
that this property had not been as
sessed.
AS it is,, there will be probably
100000 worth of property in the
county that will not be on the roll
as the special assessor appointed by
the board will find 1t physically i'm
possible to make the necessary ex-
aminations to cover the entire coun-
ty, and place the assessabe prop
erty on the roll.
When the board of county COM
missioners discovered a few days ago
that it would be impossible to assess
the county properly under existing
circumstances, the members called
upon Dan w. Ellis, who was for
number of years connected with the
county assessors office in Weber
county, Utah, and asked his assist
ance. Mr.. Ellis went to work at once
on systematic basis, and thus far
has placed, according to conserva-
tive estimate, $125, 900 on the rolls
that had ben overlooked. He is of
the opinion that he can secure an ad-
ditional $12o,0 900 before the assess
ment rolls will be closed according to
law, next Monday.
1t is believed that on conserva-
tive basis, the county will lose not
less than 100000 in assessments, as
a result of the faulty system that has
been in vogue in the county asses

so little is known of it and so few
explorations have been made, it is
hard to guess what it might con-
tain.
I'VE intend to make another trip
down there in the near future, and
we will go equipped to make thor
ough inspection of the cave. All the
other members of the party which
comprised a number of prominent
business men of this city concur in
the story as told to The News and ex-
press their wonder at the fact that
natural phenomenon of this char
acter should go SO long unnoticed by
men of science. They attribute it
to the fact, however, that the cave is
located in a place unfrequented by
men other than the occasional pros
pector.
