The News has recently pointed out
that Ely City is the natural center
for vast tributary territory as an
ore reduction point. 1t is gratifying
to note that papers throughout this
great mineral state are considering
the point that has been advanced.
The Goldfield Tribune says: "The
closing of the smelter at Bingham
has no connection with the monetary
condition of the country, although it
will have fattening influence on
the operations of copper mines. The
suspension is based on decision of
the United States court of appeals,
which ruled that the retching of poi
sonous vapors was detrimental to the
farming Interests of the vicinity. 1t
is the outcome of long pending suit
that will entail more disastrous re-
suits to the plaintiffs than to the de-
PENDANT corporation
THE smelling trust can readily
transfer its business to other points
without feeling the effects of compe-
titiOn. For instance, in the present
case the smelter will shift the ton
mage to the plant at Garfield, which
has capacity large enough to care
for all the ores that have been going
to Bingham. Then it must be con-
sidered that the huge 10000 ton
day plant at Ely is rapidly nearing
completion. This fact brings out the
CT hat Of &c
plant means an increased market for
the silicious ores of Goldfield, which
will have a rate that will permit them
to enter the new field. If the rate is
not equaliZed with that to the smell
ter at Garfield, it will only advance
the day when construction of an in
dependent line will begin to connect
the two great camps of the state.
"The smelters are gradually being
driven out to the desert, where there
is neither tree nor shrub to destroy.
Like the Indian, they have to keep
moving westward until they halt on
the barren lands where nature seems
to have provided resting place
where the volatllization of arsenic
and sulphur will not destroy the
charm of Gods handiwork. Science
has struggled with this great ques-
ton, but chemists have been baff1ed
at every turn where they tried to trap
the dangerous fumes and resolve the
elements into understandable com
modify. Fortunes have been expend-
ed in this direction, but all efforts
to retain the chemical constituents
after release from the ores have been
thwarted. Nevada may yet aspire to
be the great smelling state of the
union, and then the miner and op
orator will come into his own.

Ely is just completing a school
house on ground adjacent to the ore
line of the Nevada Northern. This
school house is an expensive struc-
ture. Located properly it would be
a credit to any community. Located
as it is it is a menace to the lives of
school children and a source of con-
slant annoyance at best to teachers
and pupils. laundering by this

The showing made in comparison
of the tax receipt records of this year
with those of the same period of last
year is not encouraging This coun-
ty, it would appear also, is in better
shape as far as tax payments may
go than most other counties in the
state. In view of which fact we can
not but feel that Governor Sparks
has made a mistake in deciding that
no special session of the legislature
shall be held. Such move is favor
able to the newspapers but to no one
else that we can perceive. For the
newspapers it means increased rev.
enues from the printing of delinquent

Those who stand for removal of
the court house from the present site
to Ely City stand for dollars into the
pockets OF the taxpayers of the coun-
ty. The value of the ground now
occupied by the court house site may
deteriorate but it will not increase.
Any inch of ground the county might
secure in Ely City will to a certainty
increase in value, not two fold, but
many fold, in the next few years. 1t
is a plain business proposition. Ely
City is the coming important trade
and industrial center. Might as well

have this year paid the largest tax
assessment ever collected in the
county, according to our esteemed
evening contemporary, and every
year from now on this proportion is
bound to increase. Business men in
the district understand this and they
also understand that Ely City is
where they are going to do the bulk
of their business in the future. Why
dodge facts? Put the court house
where it belongs, in Ely City.

necessary lesson, inasmuch as we all
must learn from experience. Why
site which will be even more directly
affected by railroad operations, par
ticuarU in event that the Meloy COM
plainants should win their conten
ton, than the school house location?
Furthermore. why should the coun-
ty be inflicted with preservation of
the present court house site when
they can get far better, far more
useful, and we feel certain, far
more valuable site in ,..y City upon
which to erect building for county
purposes. In Ely City the value of
their land will treble within two
years In Ely the value of the land
they own will decrease rather than
increase. Besides, we believe that
without doubt donation from Ely
City people could be obtained with
out difficulty of more land than
needed for court house requirements,
which would mean an absolute gain
in assets to the taxpayers, for they
would not only have the Ely site but
in addition real site, admirable in
every respect and steadily increasing
in value, in Ely City. Use common
sense in this matter, gentlemen. Put
aside prejudice and do the thing
which you would do as individuals.
That means that you will put the
court house in Ely City, as you have
already put your own money and
your faith, figuring from the bottoms
of your hearts.

White savages in Africa

The first white folks were the Afri- cans-so the wise folks say. How many have heard of the white race of the At las Mountains in Morocco? Its people have features like ours and some of them have blue eyes and red hair Many have rosy skins and complexions so fair that if dressed in European clothes they would not be out of place in New York or Paris. Others are dark CT from their admixture with the Arabs and Moors. This race is scattered through the mighty mountains of north western Africa. It is composed of the Berbers or Kabyles, who are numbered by millions, and are found everywhere around those hills The Berbers are the oldest white race on record. They are supposed to have come from southern Europe, but if so it was when Europe was savage, eating with it's fingers and sleeping on the skins of wild beasts in the forests. The Berbers were there when Athens was in its infancy and when Rome was yet to be born. There are records in the Egyptian temples dating as far back as 1000 years before Christ, which speak of them as having rosy cheeks blue eyes and red hair. There is dried specimen of one in the British Museum Chicago Tribune.

INDIAN suPERsTITIoNs
The Whirlwind and the Thunder Are
 Objects of Curious Theories

The Dakotas believe that there is a close relation between the whirlwind and the fluttering wings of the moth. The cocoon is regarded as the mys- terious object from which q power sim liar to that of the whirlwind emenates, as attested by the cmergence from it of the moth.
 Dr. Wisslcr explains that the whirl. wind meant by the Dakotas is the harm less little whrl one sees upon the plains every clear day. The long, slender col- umn betraying its presence makes pro found impression upon the Indians
 In the whrlwind somehow and some where resides the power to produce con fusion of mind. Thus it was natural that its aid should have been invoked by the warriors on going into battle, for to be as intangible, invisible and destructive as the wind was their one great desire. When man loses his presence of mind he is said to have been overcome by the whirlwind.
 A cocoon of moth taken with n portion of the twig upon which it was found and wrapped in an eagle plume, or down, is regarded as a perpetual prayer to the power of the whirlwind. This prayer is not only symbolized by the genuine cocoon worn upon the per son, but also by its image in stuffed buckskin or by it's sketched or painted representation,
 The Blackfeet see a relation between the moth and sheep and appeal to it when they desire to have dreams, for with them power is always conferred in a dream. In the case of unrequited love the whirlwind is invoked It is believed that it can confuse the mind of a girl to such degree that she can not resist the pleadings of the enamored swain.
 Some of the Dakotas believe that the bear controls the power of the whirl- wind, and that prayer must be ad- dressed to the animal for the assistance of the whirlwind. Sometimes person will receive power from the bear in a dream or vision, and thus come to have the aid of the whirlwind because of the conceived relation between the two. Finaly the power of the whirlwind is also supposed to be associated with the buffalo and the spider web

and international unions, and state fed erations, that will be directly affected if the injunction, which includes l7s names of organizations, is granted.
 The petition was filed by James M Beck, former assistant attorney general of the United States; J. J. Darlington of Washington, D. C., and Daniel Dav. enport of Bridgeport, Conn.
 Davenport Denounoes Unionism Mir. Davenport came to Washington late yesterday especially for the pur- pose of placing the petition on record Discussing the suit last night, Mr. Dav- onport said:
 "The plaintiff company does busi- ness of nearly $l,500,000 year. It has customers in 200 cities This union ism has come in to destroy n mammoth enterprise representing many years of labor. The boycott of the American Federation of Labor is a most contempt ible piece of business, and is in clear violation of the sherman antitrust act The plaintiff claims that this attack on interstate business is combination and conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade in direct violation of the trust laws. It is unlawful because it is a boycotting conspiracy. False statements are made to excite prejudice against the business of the company.
 "The statement of Samuel Gompers in the Federationist is that he had sought to remedy the matter of differ ences before applying the boycott is inaccurate In fact, no effort was made to adjust the matter with the plaintiff The whole thing is an effort to tear down the business of this concern throughout the country, and it has al ready torn some of it down and wrought great financial injury. We will fight the case to a finish after obtaining our in- junction against the federation. The matter will be presented to the court at once. Samuel Gompers and his code fendants cannot escape the summons. We expect to win hands down"
 Morrison Not Disturbed
 Secretary Frank Morrison of the American federatlon or Labor sad last night that he was not alarmed at the action of the officers of the Manufac- turers' association.
 "On numerous occasions" he said, 'writs have been issued, suits have been brought and injunetions filed against the federation, but nothing has ever come of them. The American Fed eration of Labor is merely pursuing the same course which it has gone over for years, and has not varied along the boycott lines one iota.
 It's federation claims, and its claims have been backed by the decisions of courts in almost every state, that it is not stepping on the outside of it's bounds nor usurping any undue author ity in placing unfair firms on the unfair list v

Miniature Wireless, l,

A German engineer named Heinicke has invented a system of wireless teleg- raphy for short-distance service which can be transported from point to point with remarkable ease and rapidity.
 It is expected that the system will come into general use in connection with military reconnoitering operations, naval landing parties and other similar purposes.
 Negotiations have been begun for the installation of the system on the trains of one of the principal railway com panies in the United States. American railway travellers will thus be able in the near future to transact telegraphic business during their journeys by trans. hitting messages to receiving stations along the line.
 The transmitting and receiving appa- ratus are both fitted in one small ease with weight of approximately forty pounds, which can thus be carried on a man s back. The weight of the poles for the wires and other accessories is approximately loo pounds, so that an entire station weighs approximately l40 pounds.
 station can be moved from place to place by three men, and five men are able to erect it ready for use in eight minutes. The cost of a station is f300 and the range of communication about twenty-five miles. The smallest port able wireless telegraph station hereto fore in use is SO much heavier that twelve men are required to carry its different parts, while its cost exceeds fS00.-LondOn Express.

which usually is associated with mil. itary exploits. While the Dakotas gen. erally regard the thunder as bird usually symbolized by the eagle, they sometimes speak of if as horse, man or a dog.
 The horse has always appealed to them as n creature of mysterious ori- gin, and in many cases is assumed to have been given by the thunder. In any event, there is an association in their minds between the power of a war horse and the thunder.
 The thunder is often represented by a zigzag or wavy line, usually in red :; but Dr. Wissler says that this symbol really represents the power of the phe- nomenon in the abstract, because the Indian lacks the conception of force in nature, so that the symbol is also q general sign for the presence of mys- terious supernatural power.
 Whistles made from the leg and wing bones of eagles are employed by the Dakotas to symbolize the cry of the eagle as representative of the thunder bird. In battle, or sometimes in stress of great trial, they are summoned to summon the aid of the power of thup- der. As rule a zigzag line is scratch ed down the sides of these whistles.
 The yellow winged woodpeeker is looked upon as an associate of the thunder bird, because when storm is approaching it utters n shrill cry not unlike the sound of the whistle, and is believed to be speaking to the thunder.
 The spider is spoken of as a friend of the thunder, and it is the general belief that the thunder will never harm it, so that it is itself protection against thunder. The observed fact that a spider manufactures web and that this web is not destroyed by ar rows and bullets since they pass through it, leaving only hole, is cited as the basis for the conception that the spider has power to protect people from harm -Discovery Magazine.

SEEK INJUNCTION
 F0R UNFAIR LIST
Important Legal Action Brought by a Large Manufactory Against American Federation of Labor-Stoves Were Declared Unfair by Federation.
