today. Yesterday was spent in sight
seeing about the camp and in the re-
newal of acquaintances
Committees were appointed at the
opening of the session this morning
and the formal steps to working or
ganization completed. Subsequently
the report of the committee from last
year on uniform law governing min

made partial report and asked for
further time in which to complete its
work. 1t is expected that it will con-
clude its work tonight and that to
morrow it will be able to present its
highly important report in full for
consideration of the congress- A

in the neighborhood in possession of

of an interview that during the two
years following the coming six
months, the consumption OF copper
will greatly exceed that of any pre-
cedng like period. He added:
"The decline in copper was the
natural result of circumstances. The
severity of last winter which impeded
mining and transportation of the
metal caused a shortage, and in an
ticipation of a copper famine con-
sumers placed heavy orders for fu-
ture delivery.
'It became apparent during June
that there was to be no immediate
repetition of the large orders. The
decline from that time began to be

IS
GIVEN SUPPORT
Petition Signed by Many Asking
For Relief for Claim Owners
Advocated by Congressman.

The petition printed below, drawn
up by Messrs. Mann and Jurich, was
circulated yesterday and large num-
ber of signatures secured. or those
approached but three or four declined
to sign. The object of the petition
is to give support to Congressman
Bartlett, representative of Nevada in
the lower house, when he shall at the
opening session of congress present
a bill, the outline of which he recent
ly gave to the public, providing that
assessment work on mining claims be
remitted by special act this year. The
attitude taken by the congressman
has much endorsement from the press
and mining interests throughout the
state, but the petition started here
yesterday is the first put in circula-
ton in the state. 1t will doubtless
bring about the circulation of others
in various mining districts. 1t is
worded as follows:
To the Honorable George Bartlett,
Representative in Congress from
the State of Nevada:
Petition:
Whereas, financial crisis on
panic has occurred in the United
States which has strained the re-
sources of our private banks, national
banks and trust companies to such
extent that the United States treasury
has been called upon to preserve our
entire banking system from ruin, and
Whereas, the bankers of the coun-
try to save the depositors and the
values of their estate, to prevent
actual ruin and preserve the stability
of the banks and the security compa-
nies have been compelled to ask the
assistance of the public that with
drawals be made in only small
amounts, and
Whereas, under such conditions the
prospectors and claim owners of the
country are unable to obtain suffi-
cient money wherewith to perform
the assessment work on mining claims
as provided by the mining laws OF
the United States, to be done each
year, now
Therefore, we the undersigned min
ing claim owners hereby request you
to introduce in the next congress as
sembled an act or acts which will
relieve the claim owners of such as
sessment work for the year 1907
We also respectfully dSh tlie Suppoi
of your associates in congress and the
cooperation of the United States sen
ators from Nevada and their associ
ates in the U. S. senate and the ap
proval of the president of the United
| States.
Due to the fact that it will be i'm
possible for those who have this petl
ton in hand to see all in the distric
who would sign it if they had oppor
tunity, the News has been asked tt
say that those who have not signet
their names to the petition but who
wish that their signatures shall ac
company it, may either drop a posta
card to o. E. Mann or Attorne!
Zurich, or put signatures in the space
left at the bottom of this article ant
mail the same.

DISTRICT IS BOOMING
Opinion Of Mining Man From the
South in Making Comparison
With Conditions There.

r. p. Hardison, Globe, Arizona,
fmining man, was among arrivals in
1.-THE city yesterday. Mr.. Hardison was
lat Goldfield last week with regard to
Interests he has in that district Be
fore returning home he concluded to
gcome over to the Robinson district
land see the big copper camp of the
country.
| THAT is what they say it is on
the outside" said Mr.. Hardison yes
lterday, land from what | have SO
1 far been able to gather about it the
topinion is decidedly correct. Looks
to me as If this was an immense prop
osition with a great deal more to
fcome up in the future. You are GER
ltainly going to have great country
| to draw from for custom ores when
| ever you are ready, outside the i'm
mediate district. The people with
whom | am interested at Goldfield
We're mentioning that matter few
fdays ago. They seem to think that
when your reduction works here are
fready for business that there will be
railroad connections provided be-
tween the camp up here and the
lcamps to the south and that they will
be able to ship ores up here to much
greater advantage than they are now
shipping. y
Mr.. Hardison will remain here sew
i leral days before returning TO Arizona.
Mining in that territory, he states,
| has suffered a great set back as re-
! suit of the recent strenuous condi-
tions in the money and metal mar
| Ikets. Recovery from i'll effects that
have been suffered, particularly in
1.-THE copper camps of the territory, he
feels will be slow. Globe, which up
until April of this year was enjoy
ing a boom and high prosperity, is
now exceedingly dull. A great many
men have been dropped from the pay
rolls, both ore and bullion production
having been heavily cut At Bisbee
the mining companies are working
their men principally on development,
the smelters at Douglas having been
closed to the extent of about half
their capacity. At Cananea the big
concentration has been closed down
tight and the smeter will close this
week But two of the eight furnaces
have been operated recently. These
are at the present time simply clean
ing out the ore bins and when that is
finished the fires will be drawn.
In comparison with the picture pre-
sented in the southern copper camps,
this district is booming. Many more
men are at work here than in Can
anea with its thirty thousand people,
the larger number of whom are in
bad way for supplies upon which to
exist until more work comes for them.

ATTACKED BY THUGS.
Miner Displays Money at Ricpetowi
and Is Shortly After Set Upon.

A miner who gave his name as
Clark came into town yesterday with
number of bad cuts about his head.
He said that Ire had been assaulted
at Riepetown by thugs who knocked
him down and beat him with brass
knuckles.
Clark asserted that he gave no
cause for the attack, further than
than he had stopped in one of the
dives at the place and bought a
drink, having a S. bill broken when
he made payment. He put the change
in his pocket, according to his story,
and walked out of the place, going
but short distance before he was
assaulted. Yesterday he said that
though he thought he could identify
the men if he saw them again he did
not propose taking legal action in the
matter, feeling that he had got little
more than he deserved for having so
little judgment as to stop in a Riepe-
| town house and show money. He
escaped from his assailants by draw
| ing a knife after he was down and
threatening them with it.

CorteIyou Using Every
EndeavOr With Bank
erS to Get II Out.
BANKS RESPONDING G
Situation Is Considered Much i'm.
proved in New York and
Throughout the Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-From
the standpoint of treasury officials,
the financial outlook is very favora-
BILE The policy of Secretary Cortel-
you is to care for the interests of the
whole country and things are SO shap-
ing themselves that relief will be af-
forded within brief period to every
community which is short OF the nee
essary funds to conduct its business.
1t is understood that in his con-
ferences in New York with the finan-
ciers who are handling the situation
in that city, Mr.. Cortelyou showed
himself to be heartily in favor of the
intention of those financiers to stick
by the trust companies through thick
and thin. That policy, it is believed
in official circles here, will bring
quick improvement and will place the.
New York bankers in position where
they will be able to extend aid to
places in the west and south, where
there is a money stringency.
In response to the many applica-
tions that are being made to the
treasury by banks in western cities,
calling for deposits of public money
to tide over the crop moving season,
Secretary Cortelyou has said that the
banks must cooperate with the treas
ury in relieving the situation by ad-
ditional issues of national bank notes
There appears to be a general dispo-
sition to comply With Mr.. Cortelyou' S
wishes.
Secretary Cortelyou had another
talk with the president at the White
House today, and it was said after
ward that the government would de-
posit 100000 with banks in Min
neapolis and st. Paul, the under
standing being that the banks there
will increase their issues of circulat-
ing notes up to the par value of their
capital stock. If necessary, govern
ment funds already deposited with
New York banks to meet the recent
crisis, by consent of the New York
bankers concerned. will be trans
ferred to the west to assist in the
crop moving.
This arrangement and others that
have been proposed by the treasury
administration within the last few
days indicate that there is dispo-
sition among many bankers and the
treasury department to engage in a
general cooperation to meet the
present needs of the business
throughout the country. Nearly ey-
cry banker who indicates to the treas
ury his intention of taking out ad-
ditional circulation is being urged by
the treasury officials to urge other
bankers of his acquaintance to do the
same thing.

CALLED ON DAMAGE SUIT.
Ely City Man Summoned to Nebraska
ON Return Will Bring His
Family.

Jacob Fulmer, of Ely City, will
leave this morning for Schuyler, Neb.,
to appear as a witness in a damage
suit involving a considerable sum of
money. He received the subpoena
calling him to court the first of the
week and accepted service. Schuyler
is near Omaha and is the former
home of Mr.. Fulmer. He was for a
number of years chief of police in
Schuyler and through duties in con-
nection with that Office became fa-
miliar with facts in relation to the
present suit. He expects to be abb
sent from this city about three weeks
On his return he will probably bring
his family with him from Nebraska to
make their home in Ely City.
