RINK OPENING

The STANDARD skating rink in the
ne " building just erected on ) Santa
Fe for that purpose had it's opening
last Saturday night
Tie hall was literally packed with
spectators and the very large skat-
ing floor was so literally covered
with skaters at times that they
moved around as one solid mass.
This is a fine and well arranged build
| ing erected 70 r the purpose by + ed
Alexander, d brick vaneer and pre-
sents a good appearance from the
outside. The internal arrangements
are all that co8ld be desired. The
magnificent floor laid Ia hard maple
and planed down and polished is al
most as smooth as glass.
If the opening night can be taken
as an indication of the success OF the
enterprise Mr.. Mat Wilson, the gen.

GAMBLING YARN
DENIED BY MYERS
GOLDFIELD MAN SAYS STORY OF
FARO BANK-BUCKNG
Is A FAKE.

SALT LAKE, April 1S.-I wish
to deny emphatieally the story from
Ely that l lost $4,000 in the gam
bling houses there in a single night
last week" said A. G. Myers. dis
coverer OF Goldfeld. vice president
vi the First National Bank of Ely.
and n Of the wealthiest and mos.
prominent mining men Of Nevada.
The story is perfectly absurd, ard
| cannot but believe that it was sent
out through malice. / hope none
q those who know me will pay the
least attention to it; certainly l shall
not, but it is annoying to have the
wild yarns spread about the coun-
try. 1t gives the impression that
everybody in Nevada is constantly
engaged in playing faro bank and
losing OF winning fortunes"
Speaking of conditions in Nevada.
Mr.. Myers said:
The trouble al Goldield is still
on and l do not look for a settle
ment for some time. The idle men
are ~peaceable and everything is
quiet. The mining industry is at a
complete standstin, but there is a
remarkable degree of activity in the
town Itself. At. least ten big stone
buildings are now in course of con-
struction there.
AT Ely the greatest activity pre-
walls. There are at least 600 men
at work on the new smelter and

There are now about 1900 men
in the Ely district, and more are ar
irving every day. Lane City, above
Ely, is a lively camp, and Mizpah,
miles from Ely, is attracting
much attention. There has been a
great deal Of development work there
and some of the properties have ship
ping ore. Among the mines that
look promising is the Dolly Warden.
"Blackhorse, forty miles southeast
Of Ely, is making a bid for popu-
larity among mining men, but I be-
lieve that Wonder is the coming dis

Pittsburg. Pa. Nov. 1.-THE most

funct institution, entered a suit In as
sumpsit in the United States district
court against eX-State Treasurer OF
Pennsylvania Frank G. Harris. claim
ing $4,000. with interest from Octo
Der %. 1903.
The petition alleges that Harris. as
state treasurer, selected the Enter
prise National bank as a state deposi
tory. making aggregate deposits OF
state money of $780, 900. 1t is alleged
the Pennsylvania Development com
pany was formed by T. Lee Clark

taken from his tomb barely alive after
one Of the most marvellous rescues IN
the history Of anthracite mining.
Since Saturday afternoon. when the
top Of the chamber in which he was
working caved in and caused n rush
of culm and water from the surface,
relays OF workmen have been working
increasingly to reach him under the
forlorn hope that he might still be
alive.
He had not changed mis- position
from the time the rush occurred. as be
feared that by moving about another
rush OF cuim might start which would
end his lite He thought ho had been
imprisoned for at least a week. and
was so weak for want OF water that
he could scarcely speak and was IN
able 10 walk.
He was removed to his home. where
the house Of mourning was changed
to one OF rejoicing.
After being washed and given q
small quantity OF food. McCabe told
the story OF his experience.
When the rush came after the

might. carrying my lamp and oil can
