(From the New York Press.)
Mrs. Roosevelt has yielded to the
golden brown mode. and her latest
evening gown is of an exquisite satin,
which shimmers in gaslight like the
rays of the setting sun. 1t is embel-
lished with heavy oriental lace with
the design outlined in golden and
gemmed threads and a most artistic
touch is a cluster of autumn leaves,
merely flecked with jewels, which
make a half chaplet for the hair.
Bronze slippers with a big Tuscan
gold buckle are just the thing for
such a toilet. Mrs. Roosevelt wore
this gown at her now famous musi-
Gale, at which the Indian opera
"Poia" was produced, and she never
looked more girlish and charming.
Another effective costume is of black
broadcloth with a cutaway coat and
embroidered linen blouse. The skirt
clears the ground by a good three
inches and is untrimmed save by
three wide bias folds. The coat Is
lined with grass green satin and
hint of this color shows on the collar
and cuffs.

Havana Ill--An old relic that fig
ured during the life of Abraham Linz
coin has been brought to light In
Menard county lately The relic is in
the form of a building IN a state of
first class preservation. The building
was one of the chief buildings in the
historic but now Obliterated village
Of old salem, the early home of Lin
coin.
The structure of hewn white oak
logs was erected I'm salem in 1885 by
Henry Onstott a cooper who used
the building as a shop. Here Abra-
ham Lincoln was wont 10 come OF
an evening and con his books while
the cooper was az work, the blaze

When the town of Petersburg was
built in 1S4O the logs OF the build
ing were taken apart and taken 70

erected. Later. after Onstott moved

ing was sold 20 different persons. It

1t is not improbable that the war
department may use the reservation
for the quartering of other troops
but 1t is just as probable that the
place may be turned over to the CITY

whit as bad a defaulter or even a
worse one than he who conceals his

Sound public sentiment ought TO

II is impossible to rouse grand

ton with a false tax return? Ben
jamin Harrison said of this: Each
citizeh has a personal interest, a pc
cuniary interest, in the tax return of
his neighbor. We are members OF a

a public concern of the first import

some states giving the informer a
liberal reward or a share in the tax

tie effect. Men hesitate to call their
neighbors to account. 1t Is an un-
comfortable and an unpopular thing
to do.
Probably the solution offered by
Governor Folk, namely, TO give up
the vain effort to tax personally Is
the only one available. II laws re-
quiring the taxation of personal prop
erty cannot be enforced, IL they can
not be supported by a strong public
sentiment. perhaps 1t is best TO abol-
ish them altogether. This would take
away the temptation to perjury and
relieve the taxpayer of the onus OF

STOCK MARKET VERY WEAK,
DUE TO NO DEMAND

NEW YORK, June 3.-The tone
Iof the stock market was very weak
again today and the heavy declines
|carried some of the most conspicu-
Gus stocks lower than they sold last
4.onday. The reasons for the weak
ness were not very apparent, beyond
the obvious explanation that there
was no demand for stocks. No eff
fective demand developed at any
time during the session and bear
operators showed no urgency in the
desire to cover their shorts until the
final hour of the trading. The
amounts OF stocks sold were not
very large, but the entire prostration
of the buying demand left prices
easily vulnerable to moderate selling
pressure. The Pacifics and the cop
per industrials We're the weakest fea-
lures, although the declining ten
dency of the market was comprehen-
sive. Published reports of asser-
lions by the head of the Hartman
system of the necessity of retrench-
ment throughout the railroad world,
had some special effect on the stocks
OF that system. The weakness of the
coppers was sufficiently explained by
the severe decline in the London
prices of the metal. The New York
Metal Exchange also marked down
the price of the metal here. A re-
port from Washington that determi-
nation had been reached not to push
the government prosecution against
the Hartman railroad commission
had no effect in checking the decline
in stocks. Railroad traffic officials
were quoted as usual, in weekly re-
views of conditions in their field and
were disposed TO indicate the falling
off involving freight movement, they

responding period of last year Rail-

LEVY OF SCHOOL
BOND TAX IS NOW
TO BE MADE
After Lengthy Discussion, Board of
Commissioners Vote for the
Measure.

After several hours spent in dis
cussing the pros and cons of the sit
uation, vote was finally made by
the hoard of county commissioners
late yesterday afternoon, which de-
cided the Ieyying of the special tax
to cover the interest and this years
bonds for the erection Of a new
school house in Ely.
At the last session of the board in
May the question was brought up
when the school trustees requested
the commissioners to make the levy
as to whether the board had the
authority to levy tax except at the
time designated by law, which is the
first Monday of March of each year.
All of the members felt the neces-
sity Of making this levy Immediately,
as they fully appreciated the direfui
needs of Ely in the matter of better
school accommodations, but they de-
cided to refer the matter of the levy
of such tax as to its legality at this
time of the year before the attorney
general of the state.
This was done by County Attorney
Eddy, with the result that the state
official gave it as his opinion that
such a levy would not be proper, but

RICHARD BONDS
CHAMPION MINE
FOR $40, 900
Ely Capitalist Takes Over Famous
Patented Property in Tamber-
lain District.

Papers have been signed which in
sure the development OF the Cham
pion mine, on the east side of the
Steptoe valley, eight miles from Ely,
after a long period of inactivity.
The mine, which is one of the old
est patented properties in the dis
trict, has been bonded by G.. L. Rick
ard for $4,000. Three adjoining
mines, known as the Champion Nos.
/, and 3, together with milIsite,
are included in the deal.
In the olden days the Champion
mine was worked for silver. 1t pro-
duced handsomely but after the de-
monetization of silver work was sus-
pended and until recently its re-
sources lay dormant. Mr. Richard S
attention was attracted to the prop
erty by its fine showings of lead and
the presence of copper, and on the
recommendation of experts he de-
cided to take a bond on the Cham
pion group from G. w. Halstead and
Geo. W. Dale. Development will be
begun at once, advantage being taken
of the old workings, which, while i'm
perfect, afford a pretty good idea of
the course of the mineral lodges.
The Champion mines are about
midway between the Steptoe Consoli-
dated ground on the old Tamberlain
group, of which the Cohn brothers
of Ely are the chief owners. High
grade lead ore has been found upon
all of these properties, underlying
good-sized veins of silver and a yell
low porphyry formation.

ranged here amounting to $1,000
900. and at London to So, 100000. 1t
does not appear that any sinister sig
nilicance lies behind this movement
which is most reasonably attributed
to the trade activity in France, the
large demands on the Bank of France
and low leyel of it's reserves, the
present holdings of that institution,
in spite of the accessions of the last
few weeks, remaining far below the
amount held at this time last year.
The lack of confirmation of any of
the financial trouble rumors as the
day progressed had much to do with
the shorts to cover more eX-
tensively late in the day. The sub
stantial recoyeries resulting were
we'll maintained to the last.

RICH STRIKE Is
REPORTED MADE
In RUBY RANGE

A report comes in from Cherry
Creek to the effect that George Mad
dalena and partners, two prospect
ors, have made a rich gold strike il
the Ruby range, about Is miles soutl
Of Elko.
Saturday morning they arrived il
Cherry Creek with some samples that
looked pretty good. These they
placed in a mortar and ground VI
and washed the siftings. Consider
able gold was present, enough in fact
to cause the two men to hurriedly
outfit a prospecting party, consisting
of several more men, and hurry to
the scene of the strike.
Heretofore, although considerable
mineral has been found in the ranges
adjoining the Ruby, that has never
producted any mineral and should
Maddalena's strike prove to be very
extensive a new mining district will
have been opened up.

OIL EXPERTS
RETURN FROM
INVESTIGATIONS

1t is possible that Nevada will
have its own oil supply, a commodity
that would greatly help this section
of the country.
L. A. Crandall. an oil expert from
Pennsylvania, returned today, after
making extensive observations in the
district where Custer and Fesler are
interested and which lies about SO
miles southwest of Ely. Mr.. Gran
dali was not in a position last night
to state the results of his observa-
lions and would not say directly
whether he was pleased with the out
look He declared, however, that he
had been informed taht there were in
dieations of oil in this vicinity and
that he was not yet through with his
investigations.
Il will be able to state something
more definite in a day or so he
said, when asked whether he could
say that indications were encourage
ing 81 can repeat the statement
made so often that ii will be a great
thing for the town If the results turn
out satisfactory.
Although Mr. Crandall would not
discuss the matter, 1t is well known
that he journeyed by automobile sc
miles southwest of Ely and that he
obtained samples of the oil shale.
If oil is discovered in Nevada il
will revolutionize matters as far as
fuel is concerned. The present cost
of oil will be greatly reduced and the
state will have another important
product added to its already LONG
list.
Mr. Crandall intends to make 6
thorough investigation before ht
leaves. which viii probably be some
time during the latter part of the
week and will then be able TO say
whether the oil indications amount tc
anything. The fact that he intends
to continue his Investigations makes
it appear that he has probably met
with encouTa cement

the legal talent of Ely today assured
the commissioners that in their opin-
ion such action on the part of the
board would be proper. seeing that
they understood the local situation
and the insufficient accommodations
of the present school house.
The board took a vote on the mat
ter with a result of two to one, Geo.
r. Parker of Cherry Creek register
ing the dissenting voice.
The levy for the special tax to
cover the issuance of the $4,000
school bonds was consequently made
last evening and as a result Ely will
have the much needed new school
house in time for the fall term. The
interest on the $4,000 of bonds for
this year, together with the face OF
the first two bonds, which will come
due the coming December, amounts
to about $4,100, and the school taN
for this year will accordingly be In
