little hope for her recovery.

For many years. as is well known
Mrs. Mckinley has been an invalid
but there has been nothing of late in
her condition TO alarm those about
her and the stroke of paralysis came
most unexpectedly this morning.
All of Canton is sorrow stricken
and every word from the bedside is
awaited with eagerness.
The announcement of Mrs. McIGin-
ley's probable fatal Illness will cause
n wave of sorrow TO sweep through
out the country. She is one of the
most beautiful, noble, loveable of the
prominent women of America. Dur

proved a good accountant and per
formed his duties very we'll. MI
Ellis noticed month or SO ago
however, that everything was moi
just as 1t should be with his clerk
He had been informed that the
young man had cashed checks, but
had no funds In the bank. Mr.. Ellis
asked him about the matter and he
helped him out of the trouble by
making good the amount due.
Lester r. Child, an intimate friend
of the missing young man, probably
knows more concerning his alleged
crooked transactions than any other
person in town. Mr.. Child knew
Johnson very we'll, having graduated
from the high school in the same
class. AS far as he knew johnson
was very nice young fellow. He
came to Ely last September from
Clifton, Arizona, and was given
quarters at Mr.. Child's home. He
obtained position with the broker
age firm mentioned above and for a
while got along nicely.
According to his friends he was OF
very nervous temperament and at
times was subjected to Respondent
spells, when he threatened to end
his life. 1t is said he was a free and
easy sort of character when on pleas
ure bent and it made no difference
to him how fast his money went. His
extravaganza and great generosity
upon such occasions was, 1t is said,
the cause of his recent mistakes.
Mr.. Child had given Johnson $40
in gold for check and had also re-
ceived from him check for $25 for
room rent. These transactions were
made few days before the first of
the month. AS the banks do not col
lect until the first day of each month
it is evident that johnson worked the
alleged game during the latter part
of May, so he would have an oppor-
tunity to escape before he was
found out.
about II o'clock and at 8:15 the
next morning he was awakened by
Mr.. Child. He was informed that II
was time to go to work, but replied
in an incoherent manner, and Mr..
Child left him in bed. When Child
reached his Office he received a mes
sage from Mr.. Ellis inquiring as to
the whereabouts of Johnson. Inves-
tigation revealed the fact that John
son had disappeared shortly after
Child left him. He left his clothing
and other effects in the house and
has not been seen since. A bottle of
laudanum, which he had used as
tooth-ache preventative, was also
missing, which lead to the report
that he had killed himself.
1t is said he was infatuated with a
woman of the red light district and
that she was the cause of his down.
fall. The case has been reported to
the sheriff and a search is being
made for the missing clerk. Accord
ing to the information given the Of
ficers he beat his friends out of $500.
Lewis, the druggist, lost about $40.

VESSEL BLOWN UP
MANY LIVES LOST

TUNIS, June 5.-A Turkish
sailing vessel, laden with con-
traband ammunition, which
was bound for Tripoli, has
been blown up in the vicinity
of Port Zarziss. Her entire
crew as well as eighty fisher
men who were alongside at the
time, were drowned.
The vessel had on board a
number of rifles and 500 bar
rels of powder. The local au-
thorities learned that she was
about to take advantage of the
absence of the guard ships to
try to disembark her cargo on
the beach. They thereupon
ordered number of armed
boats belonging to sponge fish
ermen to prevent the landing.
Twenty-four of these boats
went out and surrounded the
vessel, and the men from them
were just about to swarm
aboard, when a terrific eXplo-
sion occurred. 1t is believed
the captain fired his vessel to
avoid capture. A majority of
the sponge boats went down
with the vessel. The explosion
was heard for a distance of 60
miles. Zarziss is in Tunis,
near the frontier of Tripoli.

BIG STRIDES
BEING MADE
AT THE MINES
NEVADA CON. BODY OF ORE FAR
GREATER THAN WAS FIRST
EXPECTED.
ELY CONS VERY FINE SHOWING
Clearing Out the keystone Tunnel
and Rails Will Soon BE
Laid.

From all directions come excellent
reports concerning the developments
at the various mines. The work that
is being done Is most encouraging
and rapid strides are being made
The Nevada Con. is putting In tail
drift SO the empty cars can be backed
to the proper place when the shaft
is completed. A drift is being run
and cross-cuts are being made In or
der that the ore body may be opened
up. With the drifts and cross-cuts
the caving system will be completed
The big feature of this cross-cuttine
is that it goes through the ore body
thereby showing they are increasing
the ore already blocked out.
A rumor that is almost semi
official report is to the effect that the
latest report to the New York Office
shows that there is three times as
much ore in sight as at first esti'
mated. This would make 1,000,-
900 tons in sight-certainly a re-
markable showing. The great
amount of ore blocked out makes II
clear beyond any doubt that results
are going to be far greater than was
heretofore anticipated by the most
sanguine people.
The Ely Con. Copper company at
Lyons Springs is working big force
of men, who are engaged at present
prospecting in order to locate the
best point for the proposed shaft.
The ground of this property extends
back close to the ,Giroux, showing ex-
cellent indications. A churn drill is
being used. The same device is be-
ing used by the Boston Ely.
The Robinson company is sinking
in the Robinson shaft and is down
about 1 900 feet. The appearance is
good.
The Cumberland Ely is drilling
around the Veteran shaft with good
results. The ore body looks as prom
ising as yer.
Considerable work is being done
at the Nevada Consolidated. Rock
is being taken out and ground into
sand to be used in the surface work
at the Star Point shaft. 1t Is to be
used for the foundation and abut-
ments. The massive steel work for
the building and head frame Is at
hand and will be soon put into posi-
ton.
The work of clearing out the fill
ing in the Keystone tunnel is pro-
crossing very nicely and now only
70 feet remain from timber to tim
ber. Twenty-Five feet per week can
be cleared, SO in about three weeks
the work will be finished. Men will
be laying rails in two weeks, which
shows the remarkable progress that
is being made. The grading has
been completed to a considerable dis
tance, with the exception of the
bridges, which they are working on
now and have half done. The work
men have holed through on the bench
in the tunnel and the big Giroux cut
off is through.
The Ely mines are putting up a
tent camp at the Badger shaft for
the men, as there is a large force at
work.
The Butte Ely are still sinking In
the April Fool shaft and are push
ing the prosecuting in the Bee Hive
Generally speaking great amount
of work is being done at all the
mines and during the next few weeks
the showing will be such that it will
surprise even the most hopeful.
