There is much important legislation

The saloons and hotel lobbies are filled

BUCHANAN MAY HAVE:
Committed SUICIDE
Mining Man, After Despondent
Spell, Dies, With Empty Lauda-
nun ViaIS Under Pillow

Robert Buchanan's death is believed
to have been case of suicide. Buch-
anan was mining man and lived in a
tent upon his claims, in the gulch back
of the school house.
Late Tuesday night, J. w. Knowles
and Samuel Moore. who occupied the
tent with Buchanan and were his part
ners in the mining property, noticed
that something was wrong with him.
They hurridly sent for DR.. Wallace,
but Buchanan breathed his last soon
after the physician arrived. Three
laudanum Walls were found under
Buchanan pillow. Two were empty,
the other full. Two of the walls of
poison had been purchased in Salt Lake,
the other here.
Justice of the Peace Cartwright was
notified and at once impaneled cor
oner's jury, composed of Messrs.E EH. F.
Porch, George M. jackson, Henry Mil
lick, John Stemper, R. H. Hildebrand
and E. G. White.
The inquest will be held this after
noon at 2 o'clock. Dr. Wallace will
perform an autopsy this morning.
Justice Cartwright examined several
witnesses during his preliminary in
vestigation yesterday and from them
learned that Buchanan was subject to
fits of dependency. On Tuesday, he
seemed to be under one Of these gloomy
spells and intimated to friends that that
would be his last day upon earth.
Buchanan was a man long past mid
die age, and it is believed that ill
health, combined with naturally mel
anceoly disposition, caused him to des-
troy himself.
Through the arrest in Joliet, ILL.,, OF
William Harrison and W. A. Brown,
said to be two of the most expert wire
tappers in the country, Chicago detec-
tives say great "bunco" game has
been uncovered by which Chicago
gamblers lost $100, 900 within a week.
An effort is being made to arrest the
tappers Chicago accomplices to whom
ii is believed there are about twenty.
The prisoners refused to aid in the
search, however and local gamblers pre-
fer pocietias heir losses to prosecu-
tion for booiimah.ag.
Harrison and Brown rented room
in Joliet close 10 Western Union wire
which they c.t, running a thread-like
line into their room. Here they re-
ceived tns New Orleans race returns,
and forwarded them to confederates in
Chicago, who promptly put up the
money with the nearest bookmakers.
After giving then partners time to
place their bets, the Joliet men would
telegraph the news along the other end
Of the clipped wire of the Western
Union.
Assiatant Superintendent Lloyd of
the Western Union followed the wire,
forced an entrance into the house with
detectives and found Harrison and
Brown at work. They were arrested
fter stiff fight.

at Cobre AS he explains, this was
not who'll from choice, although ii
gave him an excellent opportunity to
become acquainted with "Frenchie' ;,
"Dick" and several otaer local celeb.
rifles Of the little town at the other
end Of the Nevada Northern. Also and
incidentally, he came in touch with a
few ether things not TO be found on
Broadway. Among them Mrs. Spen-
GERS justly celebrated beef steaks cut
from the horns, and the pleasure OF
sleeping in a tent with the temperature
80 deg. below. Mr.. Bullock said he
would not have missed his visit to Cobre
for considerably more than the price OF
admission. He intends TO stop there
OF his way back-long enough to change
cars. He regrets, however, that he
reached Ely day too soon, and thereby
missed Tuesday evenings shooting
match in the Thirst Parlor on Cobre's
Main street. He thinks he would have
enjoyed this from safe distance.

hold everybody up with whom he comes
in contact, and ask them for everything
except their money. This is habit he
acquired from several years experience
on the New York Sun. However, this
hold-up will be an entirely peaceful one,
since he wears no cuffs to deceive the
eye. He proposes to become person
ally acquainted with the larger camps
in this vicinity, and to let the world at
large know the Importance of Ely, as
prospectively one of the greatest, if
not the greatest copper camp thus far
discovered in North America. He will
also write of the rapid development of
the town, its splendid natural location,
it's excellent shipping facilities and its
other and numerous features of general
interest as one of the coming cities of
Nevada Ina word, Mr.. Bullock is here
to boost Ely, her mines and her people.
For fear some one may take him for a
philanthropist he explains that the sew
eral. publications for which he writes
are beginning to appreciate, to agreat-
er degree than ever before, the import
ance of the mining industry as one of
the leading factors in the growth and
prosperity of the country at large. In
fact the leading publications of the
East are glad to place before their
readers any news matters relative to
the latest developments of the mining
field Mr.. Bullock spent much of last
summer and fall at Cobalt, the new
and wonderful silver camp in Northern
Ontario; and beside sending out many
news stories from there, wrote an il
lustrated booklet describing in detail
all Of the mining properties Of the dis
trict It is his purpose TO publish a
little book on the Ely amp. Speaking
from q newspaper standpoint, we feel
certain that any information which
M. Bullock gathers viii be used to the
advantage Of Ely and her mines.
