TAKEN TO THE
SHELTER
VIII Leave This Morning and Are
Greatly Pleased With the
Trip.

The party of New England people
who came out to Ely to look over
some mining properties will start on
their way back this morning after
having had a most enjoyable trip.
They are mostly residents of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, and after a
few days spent in Ely and vicinity
are greatly pleased with the country
and its wonderful resources.
Yesterday they were taken to the
smelter and were greatly surprised
at the big enterprise they found
there. The progress of the work was
also a surprise to them and their
good impressions of White Pine
county were even strengthened by
what they saw. Last evening the
crowd was banqueted at the Cumber-
land hotel.
1t is reported upon good authority
that although they came mainly to
ascertain the outlook at the Boston,
Ely they were so well pleased with
conditions that they purchased an
other big mining property. Several
of the members of the party will re-
turn before long.
The local people who accompanied
the fasteners were Mr.. and Mrs.
James Parks, DR.. Wallace and wife,
Joe Pheby and r. S. Pheby, G. Hoag,
Mr.. Anderson, Mr.. Dudleson and Mr..
Armstrong.
The visitors are .nrominent eastern
people, one of them, Mr. Corners, be-
ing a former mayor of Springfield.
He was elected on the democratic
ticket the last time with 1 900 plural
ity, and was the first man in years
to win out as that partys candidate,
the city being republican by big
majority. Some of the members of
the party were the following-named:
S. Herbert Williams, Messrs. Stone,
Eastwood, Kingsbury and brother,

PROCEEDINGS AT THE HAGUE
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY

THE HAGUE, June 26.-The Off
cial documents of the peace confer
ence were distributed last night in
large yellow envelopes under the
seal of severest secrecy to the 25O
members of the delegations, besides
the secretaries The documents
contain the text of some of the prop
ositions presented to the conference.
The American proposition presented
by Joseph II. Choate yesterday, runs
as follows:
Inc private property of all of the
citizens of the signatory powers
with the exception of contraband of
war, shall be exempt on the high sea
or elsewhere from capture or seizure
by the armed vessels or military
forces of said powers. Nothing in
this rule implies in any way the in
volatility of vessels which will at
tempt to enter ports blockaded by
the naval forces of said powers. nor
or the cargo of sid vessels
The British proposition for the
same date says:
In order to diminish the Difficult
ties met by the commerce of the mem
tral powers in case of war, the Brit
1sh government is ready to abandon
the principle of contraband in case
OF war between powers which sign n
contract adopting this principle The
right of search will not be exercised
except to prove the neutral character
of commercial vessels
Another proposition submitted NV
Great Britain says:
The destruction of a neutral nrize

tied. The country making the can
ture should release any neutral YES
sci which 1t cannot bring before the
prize court"
The French proposition is as fol-
lows:
The contracting powers agree
that hostllltles among them cannot
be initiated without advanced and
unequlvocal notice, either in the form
OF declaration of war supported by
Iacts In the form of an ultimatum
OF conditional declaration of war
Article 2. A state of war must
be communicated to neutral powers
without delay"
Reports from Rome and Paris say
ing that President Roosevelt was
ready If the people desired it, to sup
port the proposition of the Vatican
III the present conference, produced
no impression here and is not be-
iieved. The members of the Ameri-
can delegation say they know moth
ing about it.
DR.. Kriege, of Germany, member
OF the present arbitration court. pre-
scented his proposition, and Prof. De
Martens, of Russia, four PROPOSE
IONS relating to arbitration. Sir
Edward Fry, of Great Britain offered
the rules of the commission that in
vestigated the Hull incident, think

yantageously introduced.
The first subcommittee report will
be heard on Thursday morning re-

FOR THE
MOHAWK MINING co

Four carloads of machinery for
the Mohawk-Duluth Mining company
of Duluth have arrived at the Clifton
depot, and Luther S. Foss, general
manager of the company, is here ar
ranging for the shipment of the ma
chinery to the mines, says the Reese
River Reveille.
In the shipment is a 25-horse-pow-
en- gasoline engine, gallows frame,
wire cable, 5000 feet iron rails,
600 feet of eight-inch air pipe and
other accessories to the mine, and on
The road from San Francisco are two
S. p. cars of mining timbers, three
portable houses and an Office build
ing.
Work at the company's shaft, al
ready at depth of so feet, has been
suspended awaiting the placing of
the machinery. In the bottom of
the shaft the ledge is 80 inches wide
and carries Telluride of gold which
gives values running from LOO to
$1,000 per ton.
The claim on which the machinery
is to be erected is between Duluth
and Phonolite, and is a continuation
of the rich body of ore encountered
in one of II. w. Burners workings
and can be traced on the surface for
| 800 feet.
Duluth, like Phonolite, has the
mines, and they carry high values
and are coming to the front on their
merits, no booming being necessary
the values in the ores doing that.
Other companies at Duluth and
Phonolite are arranging to put up
hosting plants and ere long regular
shipments will be made from both
camps.

damaged ankle, the result of run
away a week ago. However, Fore
man Charles Land was very much
in evidence and the mine-making
work was being hurried along at a
lively rate.
There is nothing new to report at
the Lodi, other than that additional
depth is beinng gained and that the
shaft now measures 345 feet. So far
only a slight seepage has been en-
countered, only enough to be consid-
cred a favorable indication. AS the
water courses follow the larger veins
in this district the presence of wa
ter making slip in the shaft is now
taken as evidence of the proximity
of the large vein which crops on the
surface to the east of the shaft, and
when water level is reached a cross
cut will be run to the east to tap this
vein.
At the Black Dog, the company's
other big shaft, crosscutting both
east and west is in progress on the
356-foot level The two faces were
S5 feet distant yesterday and this
whole area is we'll mineralized. The
body is made up of a great number
of stringers, anywhere from few
inches to several feet in width. Cop
per values predominant and this
week some fine specimens of copper
glance have been dug out. The
west drift is loaded SO that with adj
ditional distance it will cut the big
vein showing on the adjacent Copper
opolis, a property owned by Charles
Land and others and concerning
which, by the way, important an
nouncements may be looked for in
the next thirty days.
MT. cambridge has just installed
a complete assay office and from now
on will personally run the samples
taken from the Searchlight
Bulletin.

DELEGATES TO THE

Special efforts are being put for
ward by the executive officers of the
National Irrigation congress to Sc
cure thorough representation in
the coming session of that body in

GOATS ARE NEW GOVERNMENT

"Our agricultural explorer who visits
every corner of the earth in pursuit of
new and useful plants, have had instruc-
tons during recent years to keep a sharp
lookout for available beasts and birds.
Uncle Samuel has been making eXtraor-
binary efforts to obtain from various
varieties of domestic animals. and within
the past few years one of his newly de-
veloped tastes has been for goats. And TO
a considerable extent this kind OF enter
prise has been helped by private individ-
uals." Rene Bache, writing in the Techn-
cal World Magazine for April. tells an
entertaining story of the importation OF
goats into this country and of the benefits
that are expected from them.

found, the authorities will not allow them
to be exported; and difficulty of this sort
