Orson Lauritzen, foreman of the
McGill ranch, who was hurt on Fri

terday afternoon at the hospital at
the Smelter from his injuries.
Last night the body was brought
to this city and placed in the under

from where the funeral will occur
either today or tomorrow, which had
not been decided last night. The
young wife of the dead man is near
Frustrated with grief.
The injuries of LauritZen were
considered necessarily fatal by the
physicians from the beginning, no ray
of hope for recovery appearing at any
time, though every effort was made
to aid the injured man. He remained
in a comatose condition most of the
time. Among many acquaintances
about McGill and in this city his con-
dition was the subject of deepest con-
Germ yesterday and many expressions
of sorrow We're heard The deceased
was but 81 years of age and had been
married but few years His wife
and one child survive him. Those
who knew him held him in high es-

upright and honorable citizen. He
was an excellent horseman, had spent
many years in the saddle and that his
end came about as it did added 70
the shock which his friends and ac-
quaintances experienced when they
learned of the accident and the man

crews, who was badly injured on Fri
day as the result of big pipe roll

night reported as resting as easily
as could be expected and making re-

for the physicians to determine def
nitely as to the extent of internal in
iuries sustained or as to what serious
ness they may develop.

He therefore decided to shut down
the work on the mines for the pres

centrate its ore at the mines. 1t will
be conducted to the mines by gravity,
having about 800 feet head. The
property OF the Butte Ely is situated
between the operating properties of
the Giroux Consolidated company and
the Nevada Consolidated Mining COM
pany. The development work con-
sists of three shafts, two of which are
200 feet deep, and the other, which
is to be the main working shaft, is
800 feet deep. The latter is equipped
with a steam hoist. The company
has been operating, but not on large
scale, for two years. The three shafts
are in sulphide ore, and there is a
very good showing, says Mr.. Leggat.
The work during the past six months
was confined to the main shaft on the
Bee Hive claim, from which levels
and crosscuts have been run on the
$50 and 275 levels.

TOASTS.

The assemblage last night was
principally because of the fact that
the tanford-Berkeley folks wanted
to hear the result of the annual foot
ball game between the teams of the
colleges on the old California grounds
yesterday. When the wires licked it
off in Ely it read % to IL in favor of
Stanford and when they heard it in
the banquet hall there was lot of
noise
An outgrowth of the gathering
which promises much for the pleas
ure of college men in the district and
in this section of Nevada was a reso-
luton adopted late in the evening de-
termining that those present would
at once engage vigorously in the
forming of a University club, to which
all college men in the district will
be eligible. Following adoption of
the resolution a committee was elect
ed to take matters of organization in
hand. II. r. Plate was made chair
man of the committee and will have
the assistance of John Bouse and A.
Judell. To help get the college men
together it was decided that monthly
dinners on the order of that enjoyed
last night should be had. The first
of these dinners will be held at the
Steptoe on the first Saturday evening
in December. The committe will con-
slider it favor on the part of college
men here if they will send in their
names in the meantime together with
the names of their colleges in order
that invitations may be. sent for the
dinner.

S. +. Hunt left yesterday for Ham
ilton. He has shipped IA, 900 feet of
lumber to the camp and taken car
penters along to build a shaft house,
a bunk house and boarding house
for the Nevada Lead company, re-
Gently incorporated. Mr.. Hunt W..
soon have accommodation for twelve
men. He will have a goodly pile of
high grade ore ready for shipment
by spring and his intentions are to
ship l 900 tons per month next sum-
mer. He will put in three levels in
his workings this winter and while
doing that work he expects to mine
from thirty to forty tons of ore per
month. The freighting outfit of Win
ters e Brown left yesterday for Ham
ilton. 1t comprised five four-horse
teams. The Nevada Lead company
has two cars of high grade on the
dump now ready for shipment.
Charles Minoletti has five cars ready
and e. J. McEllin has heavy output
already mined awaiting shipment to
Eureka. Mr.. McEllin has been ship
ping 100 tons month all summer.
Fuller and Smith are sacking ore
rapidly and have block of 10000
tons to draw from. The ore Fuller
and Smith are shipping net them from
SIS to 500 per ton. Winters and
Brown will probably take the con-
tract for hauling the ore from the
district already mined and can prob
ably run their teams to Eureka until
March 4. They will probably have to
lay off during the spring breakup in
March and April of next year, after
which they can haul ore uninterrupt-
edly for another year. If new road
is built from Hamilton to the Veteran
mine, near Kimberly, shipments may
be made over the Nevada Northern,

S. W. Eccles will probably come to
the district some time next month
from New York for a visit to the sew
eral properties in which he is inter-
ested, the Nevada Northern, of which
he is president, Cumberland Ely, Ne

Sale to C. w. Fisher of the Aamer-
Ian group of nine claims by John T.
Cone is understood to mean that Mr..
Fisher will at once bring about new
development on the properties, which

hundred feet of tunnel work has been
done and veins cut which indicate a
big deposit of lead-silver ore at
greater depth. Ore which has so far
been opened runs from IT to 70
ounces silver and from 10 to 22 per
cent lead.
Bids are to be asked by Thomas
Murray, who is expected to arrive in
the city today from Colorado, for fur
ther sinking on his Ely Homestake
property two miles west from Her

Cone have just finished putting the
shaft down on this property to the
100 foot level. The showing obtained
through this sinking is said to be
very encouraging, demonstrating the
presence of what has the look of a
considerable ore body.

assumption could be made in respect
to jesus practice and that of his apos-
ties. The operation by which pupil
in mathematics is convinced that three
times two are six and is thereby cured
of his misconception that three times
two are eight, is mental, but is not for
this reason hypnotic. 1t requires no
strenuous will force to convince pupil
that three times two are six. 1t only
needs the quiet, peaceful, clear presen-
tation of facts. Hypnotic suggestion is
an effort to plead mentally with the pa

Christian Scientist is his effort to bring
his patient into such a communion with
God, such a realization of the divine
power and presence as to break the
power of disease and "set the captive
free" Hypnotic suggestion is always
based upon human Judgment and may
or may not be right and can be en-
ployed for evil purposes, while Chris
tian Science is always an argument in
behalf of the omnipotence and omni-
presence of God, and can never do
harm. To do evil through mental prac-
tice necessitates a departure from
Christian Science and a substitution of

Critics who so flippantly declare that
Christian Science is nothing more nor
less than hypnotism will learn, when
they have undertaken the practice of

their human will and depend upon the

PAYING THE PENALTY

WHOSE who take a gloomy view OF
the effect of modern occidental
"A civilization upon the physical de-
velopment of the human race and who
point to the type which stands out SC
conspicuously in such centers of popu-
lation and wealth as Paris, London and
New York, with their changing social
conditions, having particularly In
mind the reversion of a material pro-
portion of the American product in the
larger cities to the type which gave to
the French Empire it's fetid character,
think they see an impending racial ca
lamity.
Many of these pessimists prophesy
the downfall of western civilization
even as Rome fell. and from causes
akin to those which reduced the power
full capital of the world to a memory.
Some of this class doubtless will be
quick to seize upon the existing epidem-
ic of infant paralysis in the American
metropolis and exploit it as proof of
their contention that the white race is
once more going to the dogs.
The news dispatches from New York
convey but meager intelligence re-
garding the outbreak of this apparent
indication of the decay of the race, as
some may view it. The Associated
Press describes it as "the greatest epi-
demic (of infant paralysis) known in
the history of the world" From June
1, 1906, to November 1, 1906, but 80
cases were reported to the New York
health authorities, whereas during the
same period of five months this year
1913 cases were discovered. DR.. Virgil
P. Gibney, a surgeon at children's
hospital, urges that a conference of
neurologists be called to devise d
proper system of treatment
If the truth were known the chances
are that in the great majority of these
cases of infant paralysis the patients
would be found to be children of the
slums, entering upon life with heri-
tage of physically degenerate paren-
tage, on the one hand; on the other,
children of parents addicted to vices
that are more common among the
well-to-do than among the proletariat.
Tens Of thousands of the parents in
New York's east side lead lives, due to
conditions that cannot easily be obvi-
ated, which totally unfit them for par
enthood. That the offspring of many of
these should enter the world paretics,
idiots or paralytics is small source of
wonder. In such cases as these it will
be futile to apply the remedy to the
effect-the child. We must go back to
the cause and eradicate it, so far as
practicable. We cannot expect healthy
fruit to spring from etiolated, shrunken
stock.
Helpless, unknowing, the parents
have sinned, and the divine and ma
ture's inexorable law is that the in
iquities of the fathers shall be visited
upon the children even unto the third
and fourth generation

CANAL COMPLETE
IN EIGHT YEARS
CONGRESSMAN SMITH MAKES
PROPHECY IN SPEECH
United States Showing the World an
Object Lesson in introducing
Twentieth Century Lesson
in Civilization

Congressman S. C. Smith of Bakers
field told the City club yesterday that the
Panama canal would be finished in eight
years. He spent some time there exam
lining conditions and brought first-hand
information.
If a globe rather than a flat map were
examined it would be seen that Panama
was on a line between where Pittsburg
and Buffalo show, hence by hugging the
Mexican coast ships en- route to Japan
from Panama would easily reach Los
Angeles harbor by :. deviation of less
than 100 miles.
This was one of the principal reasons
why Los Angeles would always be on
the worlds future ocean highway.
'The government now has an absolute
jurisdiction of ten mile strip across the
sthmus," said the speaker.
Next he dealt with the scheme of sani-
tatiop put into operation by the govern
ment-"a work which had to be done
in advance of throwing dirt"

American city. Next we began the ex-
termination of mosquitoes, the main cause

"Then we began the construction of
the canal. Uncle Sam is doing the work
with steam shovels and steam railways.
''The laborers are mostly used in level
ing ground for railways and similar
work, hundreds of miles of temporary
roads being needed.
Now the excavation Is proceeding.
Dirt began to fly the first of this year
after seven years of preliminaries.
When I was there about 100000 cubic
yards of earth was being removed a
month. Since then the average has been
raised to 100000 yards month"
Three Kinds of Workers
The speaker told of the three classes OF
men who are building the canal-the Ja-
maica negroes, who disseminate their
earnings as rapidly as possible, only
about two-thirds of the force being on
duty at time; the Mediterranean coun-
tries contingent, who get higher wages;
and, thirdly, the American young men
who are the brains of the big under
taking.
Congressman Smith said the young men
on duty in the canal zone impressed him
as being imbued with the spirit which
recognized that the United States stood
in the gaze of the world in this great
engineering feat
When the French abandoned the job
they had already moved as much earth
as was lifted in the original Suez canal

a series of lakes, would show to the

Many of these took on the shape and

A FERRET's DANGER

IN hBPUTY CITY ATTORNEY HAAS
has made an awful break. He
- has discovered an ancient statute
of California under which any property
owner may erect structure which is
popularity known as a "spite fence" So
long as the constituted authorities do
not, declare an inclosure of this charac-
ter to be common nuisance man
may erect a fence of practically any
height upon his property, regardless
of whether it totally obstruct the pas
sage of light and air into the windows
of an adjoining house.
Mr.. Haas has piled up great pyra-
mids of trouble for himself That is to
say, he may have done so. Think of the
amiable people who have refrained
from satisfying grudge against their
reighbors in this way, just because
they fancied an appeal to the law
would compel them to enjoy but a tran
STORY pleasure! Think of the bills for
lumber and cement that might have
accumulated during the past % years
il this law had not suffered the fate of
the constitutional provision making the
granting of rebates by railroads a
crime! Think of the gleeful counte-
nances of men and women whose neigh
bors next door dare to own wheezy
monographs, barky dogs, tuneful fe-
lines or squally babiesl Think of the
woman householder at No 1929 whose
social rival at No. 1925 or No. 1927
beat her to it in the race for the most
brilliant green dodo wings or the long
est eyelashes from a cassowary!
Think of these opportunities
Why, oh why, Mr.. Deputy City At
torney Haas, did you ever, ever, ever.
bring that musty old statute into the
light of day? Think of the horrible re-
sponsibility that now crushes down
your shoulders, and then. if you still
have time, hit the trail that endeth in
the most secluded corner of Oblivion.
