MADE GOOD
ON OLD DUMP
Dolly Warden District Provides Good
Thing for Assyrian..-Took $lO..
600 from Ground Passed By.

How some men wait for fortune
to knock at their door, while others
go out after it with a lariat and Il
sleeping potion, is illustrated in the
case of A. Saline, an humble Assy
rian, who arrived in the city yester-
day to pull down from the Golfers OF
the American Smelling and Refining
company approximately $4,000 for
ore shipped by him during the last
four months, says the Reno Gazette.
The interesting part of the story is
that the ore Saline shipped was al
ready mined when he found it; in
fact, it was mined something like 80
years ago; hundreds of persons knew
| it was there and yet until the AS
syrian came along there was no one
to claim it.
1t was in the Dolly Warden district
in Nevada that Saline made his find,
he having gone out there last August
along with numbers of other poor
prospectors attracted by the stories
of rich strikes But while the others
were looking underground Saline
kept his eyes open for anything that
might appeal on the surface. AT the
site of an old smelter, which had in
| the early days proved failure on
account of the heavy copper contents
| in the ores, he noticed there We're
several hundred tons that had never
been worked.
He refused to be content with the
natural supposition that were there
anything in it some one else would
have found it. He sampled the great
piles of ore and found that it would
all pay to ship. He inquired who
owned it and no one knew. He fin
ally found out who owned the land
| it was on and asked the man what he
| would take for the ore. The man
had no idea it was worth anything,
and when the foreigner offered him
Il $50 for the lot he thought he was
picking up mighty easy money
Saline hired men and teams and
set to work at once hauling ore to
the railroad station for shipment to
the smelter. And when the old TIM
ers in that region learned that his
profits from the transaction would
run close to five figures, they were
| in mood to advocate a stricter I'M
migration law Saline is now ready
| to look for another old smelteN
| dump.

District Is Well Equipped
to Combat Any Likely
EMERGENCY.
ELY RECEIVES HOSE
Now Has $500 Feet to Attach to
New Hydrants-..EIy City, Mines
and SmeIter Well Fixed.

A consignment of SOC feet of
standard > y inch fire hose for the
Ely fire department arrived in the
city yesterday and was tried out sue
cessfully, being afterward distributed
to the stations in the town.
The hose is of standard size and is
fitted with couplings which fit the
new hydrants, put in place but a
short time since. Together with 1t
were eight nozzles of the best make
which will be distributed in the dis
trict together with the hose. On be-
ing given a test yesterday afternoon
a length of the hose, chosen hap
hazard, stood pressure of 80 pounds
to the inch without developing flaw.
A stream of water was thrown half
a block, showing efficiency for fire
protection.
With this addition the department
has $500 feet of hose, 900 feet of
which has been in use for some time.
Ihe old lengths will, it is stated, be
held in reserve and used in case of
emergency demanding it,
Under the direction of Chief Rowe
the new hose was placed on the hose
carts of the three companies and ta-
ken to the respective districts in

ing assigned to each section.
The hydrants were also put to the

Is Assessment Work On
Mining Properties In
Robinson District.
CONGRATULATE SELVES
Tone Of Telegram Sent By Con.
9reSSman BartIettSeemStOS Show
Little Hope for Relief Bill.

Assessment work in this district
has been done by nearly every one
of the persons owning mining prop
erty, for the year 1907, if mining men
with local conditions, are to be taken
at their word. Fearing that the bill
which was to be introduced at this
session of the congress by Congress-
man Bartlett would not be passed
upon favorably by that body the claim
owners have gone ahead with their
work and but little remains to be
done. Possibly in this the mining
men exhibited good Judgment, as the
telegram from Congressman Bartlett
to people residing in Reno would lead
to the belief that the bill would not
be passed upon in time to do any
good for local interests.
Il have done nearly all my assess
ment work" said local mining man
yesterday. 'and | am inclined to be-
lieve that nearly every other claim
same thing. | did not believe that
this bill would get an early enough
hearing to do us good and besides
| am of the opinion that it was a
good thing to have the money in cir
culation during these hard times.
In other districts of this state
am inclined to think conditions, in
case the bill is not passed, are not SO
good. From what | have heard
many claim owners have waited in
hopes that the bill would pass and
have delayed work accordingly. In
case the measure is not passed favor
ably upon it will spell disaster to
some of these ,"
Robinson district is to be congrat-
ulated upon the fact that work has
be done as required by law and few
indeed will be those whose property
will be placed in jeopardy by the fail
ure of the measure to carry in the
national assembly.

NO OCURB ON ....
BUILDING
Construction of Ore Line
Keeping Ahead VieOr.
Ously and Well.
COMMENTATOR WORK
Including Trestles Will Be Ready
For First Car the Ore Line Can
Put In From Cumberland.

AS stated in the News on Sunday,
there has been no change in the ad-
vices given a couple of weeks ago
from the east with regard to stand
ing ready for the employment of in
creased forces at concentration and
smelter and for the beginning of pro-
duction at the mines of Cumberland
Ely and Nevada Consolidated
Inquiry made yesterday of Super
intendent Lakenan of the properties
of the allied interests brought such
statement. Definite instruction, or
dering increased activity, is still
looked for at any time. Rumors to
the contrary are absolutely without
foundation in truth. In fact the lat
est advices from the east indicate
that the outlook is very good there
for the early sending of rush orders
along to the camp from headquarters.
With regard to completion of the
ore line and the making of connec-
tion at the concentrator, rumorS in
the last week have made for an en-
tirely erroneous impression. While a
part of the work has been stopped on
the mine end OF .Ae line, there has
been no real check in activity. The
big cut this side of the Veteran mine
of Cumberland Ely must be completed
before there can be more work done
to advantage elsewhere on that end.
In the cut all the men are being
employed by the contractors that they
can make place for. They are crowd
ing the work along at top speed. AS
soon as they have it completed the
rest of the grading will be disposed
of in a few days. On this side of the
cut the grading is completed and the
putting down of the tarck which re-
mains to be placed will be a matter
of but few days work. 1t can be
concluded very quickly when it IS
picked up. Meantime no good reason
exists for crowding this track down in
advance of completion of the cut. On
the other hand the men who were
employed ON this side are to large
extent being made excellent use of
in completing the cut.
At the concentrator the big steel
trestle is being showed out rapidly to
connect with the wooden trestle work
which is also building steadily to-
ward the steel structure Men and
steam power cranes are doing work
on these trestle structures and will
have them completed by the time the
cut is finished on the mine end OF
the line. They expect to be ready
and are bending every effort to get. in
shape to handle the first car that the
ore line can get out from the Cumb-
erland Ely's upper property direct to
the ore bins of the reduction plants.
Tho fret ,nit of tho ponpnntratOr will
be in readiness TO receive the ore on
the date the ore line is ready to de-
liver cars. These aer the facts in
the matter and should set at rest ru-
mOrs of other character.

.SHAG ARGUES
BUT HAS TO
PAY HIS FINE

In spite of the fact that he was
visitor in their city and for that
reason sacred, "Shag," the Ely City
bus dog, well known to every man,
woman and child of the section, was
yesterday captured and locked up for
vagrancy in the Ely pound. He was
later released upon payment of his
fine in the shape of a license, Man
ager Armstrong of the Townsite COM
pany being the good Samaritan who
came to his relief.
Shag was comfortably pursuing the
course of his duties which are to meet
I and defeat any dog which dares to
look like he would bark at the bus
as it passes, when suddenly Dog
Catcher Riley, without ado, roped
tied and hauled him off to prison.
Indignant at this treatment, Shag
targued the question with the captor
| so unceremoniously taking him into
Ecaptivity, possibly to DEATH setting
| forth that he was nonresident OF
Ely, living in Ely City, and therefore
exempt from taxation in the former
place. He further stated that he was
in Ely for a business trip and had
no desire to remain longer than nee
essary, being well satisfied with his
lone surroundings.
He was unsuccessful in his plea
and, had it not been for the kind
offices of his friends, would have had
to pay the penalty of his temerity in
centuring away from home, with his
life. He was around last night greet
ing his friends and happily wagging
his tail, expressing his joy in free
dom.

of the Swanton United Brethren church
where a goodly congregation haG gath
cred al an early hour for previously an
nounced Unihcation of worship designed
to embrace the various shades Of religi-

Proceedings were opened with, and
the sermon and addresses were inter-

TO the services and rendered by the
choir Of the congregation.
Rev. J. Z. johnson, who has supplied
