MIZPAH IS GREAT
SAYS MR.. HERRICK
Ely Real Estate Man Returns from
New District with Glowing
Account Of Mineral Showing.

"There has been no exaggerationoft the
Importance of the new Mizpah district,
five miles East of Spruce Siding on the
Nevada Northern Railway" said James
L. Herrick yesterday. "It is by far
the best looking country have seen
outside of Ely"
Mr.. Herrick returned Saturday even
ing from hurried trip to the new dis
trict and to NEWS reporter he gave
an enthusiastic account of what he had
seen
1.-THE Mizpah belt," Mr.. Herrick
said, "is about two by five miles in ex-
tent. The groupings are plainly marked.
The ore apparently will average $50 in
gold and all the way from four to
twenty per cent in copper. The ground
has been staked for miles and the
prices asked for claims are way up.
There are some funny combinations
at work. For intance one party, made
up in Ely, is composed of a banker, q
county commissioner, faro dealer, q
sheep herder, three cow punchers and
few others.
'It is typical Nevada syndicate. -
Mr.. Herrick lost his bearings while
walking from the mines to the railroad
and was adrift in the snowstorm fol-
two hours.
"There are no accommodations at
Mizpah," he said. "You have to walk
from Spruce Siding to the mines. TIL:
men live in tents and do the best they
can for food. The assessment work,
however, is about completed and the
men will probably come into Ely fol
the winter"

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Philadelphia Jan 5. Shortly before

bomb into the Fourth street National
Bank at Fourth and Library streets.
The resulting explosion tore the bomb
thrower to pieces and killed w. q.
Mclean the Assistant Cashier. Sew
eral other employees of the Bank and a
number of patrons were injured. Five

President Richard H. Rushton. When
this was refused he took the missile
from under hia coat and hurled it at
Rushton. A slight fire followed the
explosion and tenants in the Bullitt
building, in which the Bank is located

quickly on hand. They placed the
vaults and securities of the institution

PHEBY BACK FROM
HIS EASTERN TRIP
Sees Heinze While In New York,
But Won't Tell About
Conference.

r. S. Pheby got back from his East
ern trip on Saturday night, having
stopped in Salt Lake few days longer
than his brother, Joseph, who accom-
panied him on the journey. Mr.. Pheby
was among the passengers on the
Southern Pacific train, on Friday, which
failed to make connections with the
Nevada Northern train into Ely.
81 was compelled to spend about forty
hours at Cobre, he said, land during
that time saw enough of the juno
tion and its comforts to last long
while"
While in New York, Mr.. Pheby met
F. Augustus Heinze, the Montana cop
per magnate, but when asked what
took place at that conference Mr.. Pheby
replied: "We took an automobile ride
through Central Park and had de-
lightful time"
On being questioned as to whether he
had made deal with Mr.. Heinze af-
fecting the Ely Northern or the Ely
Central, Mr.. Pheby replied that he had
nothing to say on the subject.
SIT is noteworthy fact" said Mr..
Pheby, "that the people in the East
seem to be extremely well informed
concerning Ely. The opportunities Of
the camp have attracted the attention
of men of financial strength and many
of them will soon visit Ely to make
investments. This means that the de-
velopment of the district around Ely
will continue with rush and we may
look for big things in all lines during
the year.
"This year, believe, will be the
most prosperous that the world has
ever seen, and the mining industries
will reap their just proportion of that
prosperity

DICKERSON VIOLATES
A CARDINAL VIRTUE

Angered by the publication in this
newspaper of a Supreme Court decis-
ion which prohibits wholesale abstract
ing of records in the office of the
County Recorder, the retiring Re-
corder of White Pine County, D. S.
Dickerson, has published a column of
abuse of the editor and member of
the staff of THE NEWS, which he per-
haps fancies will nullify the laws of
this State In the course of this lurid
screed, Mr.. Dickerson asserts that the
editor of The NEWS approached him
six months ago and asked him to form
an abstract company, "and also asked
to be allowed to become member Of
such company"
This is the only statement made by
Mr.. Dickerson which is worthy the at
tention of THE News. Ordinarily we
have no space in our columns for dis
cussion of Mr.. Dickerson and his pc
culiar ethics, but it is proper to state
hat the editor of THE NEWS never ap-
preached the gentleman as described
and asked to be made member Of his
abstract trust.
What the editor of The NEWS did dc
six months ago, was to inform the then
County Recorder that H. K. Wheeler
of Ely had under consideration the or
ganization of an abstract company,
and to ask Mr.. Dickerson what he
thought of the scheme.
So far from wishing to embark
in the abstract business with Mr..
Dickerson or anyone else the editor of
THE NEWS at that time declined to
take the matter up with Mr.. Wheeler
(whose intentions were good on the
ground that newspaper should be alb
solutely unfettered by alliances with
public officials; and the advice was
rendered to Mr.. Dickerson that he
would probably find it profitable to at
tend to the abstracting himself. We
still hold to the view that the Recorder
is the proper person to supply abstracts
and we regret to learn of the inability
of the retiring Recorder to perform
this duty.
Mr.. Dickerson has not added to his
laurels by his treatment of this Incl
dent, while his reference to the fact
that Mr. LOUIS P. Kirby of this news
paper, walked into Ely" is scarcely
calculated to raise him in the esteem
of the townspeople who, we fancy,
rather admire that sort of pluck and
determination.

DUMPING OF RUBBISH
IS ORDERED STOPPED

William Ulm of the Ely Townsite
Company has notified the liverymen
and expressmen to discontinue dumping
rubbish upon the townsite property.
"We are put to considerable expense
in burning and removing the rubbish
and dead animals hauled upon the
townsite by persons in Ely" said Mr..
Ulm," but our chief objection to the
rubbish is that it would become men
ace to health. BY watching these
things much can be done toward safe
guarding the health of a community. :"

IN SAWMILL CANYON.
Bingham Miner Makes Discovery In
the Foothills Due West From
The Old Star Mill

Lead in three-foot chunks has been
found in Jack Williams Sawmill canyon
six miles north of Cherry Creek. Sam
pies were brought to Ely on Saturday
by George F. Parker, the new Cherry
Creek member of the Board of County
today.
1.-THE find," M r. Parker said, lis the
most important one since the Nelson
boys discovered lead in the hills west
Of Cherry Creek. A miner from Bing-
ham named Goodwin came across the
vein while prospecting in Sawmill can
yon. He has taken up eleven claims
and has fine showing of ore. The
vein averages three feet in width and
it can be traced about 700 feet. 1t
shoots diagonally through the lime, por-
phyry and quartzite walls and is there
fore a freak formation. l brought
some of the ore with me for assay. 1t
will, / believe, run high in values"
Mr.. Parker reports that Cherry
Greek is filled with large winter pop
ulation.
1--WE expect boom by June" he
said. 1.-THE mines around Cherry Creek
are in good condition and these new
discoveries are attracting people from
the outside. The town is quite lively.
In the spring considerable building will
be done in anticipation of the rush. !"

FORCED TO BUILD
WESTERN PACIFIC
President Jeffery of Rio Grande Rail.
road Tells Why New Line
Was Necessary
Special to THE News.

Special to THE NEWS.
New York, Jan. 6-Before the Inter
state Commission yesterday E. ]. jeff
cry, president of the Denver & Rio
Grande and affiliated lines, including
the Western Pacific railroad, told some
interesting facts concerning the con-
ditions which led up to the building OF
the Western Pacific railroad from Salt
Lake t San Francisco. He said that
there had been a shrinkage in the busi-
ness of the Rio Grande railroad from
the Oregon lines due to the control OF
Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific
and that the construction of the West
ern Pacific railroad was necessary tc
protect the interests of the Rio Grande.
The Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion is inquiring into the understanding
between the Hartman lines, and Presi
dent Jeffery was the first witness ex-
amined at yesterdays sitting. Mr..
Jeffery described the Rio Grande sys-
tenn and it's connections. He said il
exchanged with the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion Companies.
"When the Union Pacific took control
of the Southern Pacific" he said,
"there was shrinkage in the amount
of business received by the Rio Grande
from the Oregon lines. due, no doubt,
to the cohtrol the Union Pacific had of
the Southern Pacific"
Mr.Jeffery next described the West
ern Pacific railroad now under construc
tion between Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco. His attention was then called to
the letters between E. H. Hartman
and George J. Gould, in which Gould
said that he had determined to support
the building of the Western Pacific and
Hartman replied that he regretted the
loss of Gould's advice. Mr.. Jeffery
said that Gould was largely interested
in the Rio Grande. He read from a
recent annual report he had submitted
to the stockholders of the Rio Grande,
in which it was stated that Union Pa
cific control of Southern Pacific lines
had resulted in unexpected difficulties
and unlocked for expedients in getting
business through to the coast and there
fore the building Of Il competing line
from Salt Lake to San Francisco had
been under taken to protect the Rio
Grande interests.
"Prior to the consolidation, We're the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific com
peting lines?'' asked Attorney Sever
ance.
within certain territory replied
Mr.. Jefiery.
within what territory" inquired
the lawyer.
SAT Chicago, for instance" said Mr..
Jeffery, "the Union Pacific would COM
pete for business to the Coast as against
the Illinois Central, which sought busi-
ness to be handled for the West by way
of New Orleans and the Southern Pa
cific -

me that they not only are in dead ear

the fact that he has done something
