FRIENDS
ARE VERY MUCH
RELIEVED NOW

Fearful that he was wandering in
the hills far from human aid and
might be suffering untold tortures
from hunger and thirst the friends
of Sam Soboski, well known roulette
croupier, for some months in the en-
ploy of the Capitol saloon, were much
frightened about his continued alb
sence from this section until yester-
day afternoon, when it developed that
the report was without foundation
and he is working at Riepetown, hav-
ing secured employment there in a
gambling house.
Soboski disappeared from Ely sew
eral days ago and on his absence be-
ing noted, rumor became current that
he had wandered away into the hills
with Cobre as his avowed destina-
ton. Friends of the man stated that
he had been out of employment for
some time and that he was penniless
at the time he left. 1t was thought
that his financial worries might have
clouded his reason.
Much alarmed a few of his close
friends began searching for him
quietly, and as a result it was ascer-
tanned that he had gone to Riepe-
town and had there secured employ
ment. This knowledge came as a
great relief to his friends and ac-
quaintances as he is very popular
among his associates.

WANT FRANCHISE
ON THE AIR
Ely Council May Soon Be Up Against
the Real Thins.-.Engineer Wat.
son Has the Real Scheme.

Dreams are becoming the fashion
of late, but if one of the latest OF
these could be made reality at least
one citizen of the district would be
so immensely wealthy that no man,
not even Jawn D., reputed to be the
richest man in the world, but would
have to acknowledge him as the mas
fer wit of them all. The author of
the latest dream is j. II. Watson,
we'll known mining engineer.
Imagine one man with an option
on the atmosphere and each human
being as he breathed looking anx-
iously at a small meter, something
like the kind used by robber barons
of the gas corporations, wondering
if he can afford to breath more than
once a minute, and you have the
scheme which was promulgated by
Watson to an interested audience at
the Ely stock exchange last evening.
II tell you there would be nothing
like it as a money maker he rhapso-
died. ut would be worth so many
millions that we could afford to re-
tire from business after a short time
and again allow the world to get its
breath for nothing. The scheme is
a queen and that's all there is to It,

the meter onto people so that afteI
a little time children would be born
with it, and great expense to the
corporation would be done away with

returns, showing values of from 500
to $3.50 to the ton. There is also 6
good deal of this ore on the dump

ty in that district but did not care
