GOES TO CLAIM FORTUNE.
After Fifteen Years of Silence Sacra
mento Man Makes Known Iden-
tity-WrockS Home

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 20.-FOr ,
years George Gable of this city, a
foreman in the Southern Pacific rail
road shops has been considered dead
by wife whom he deserted in Ian
caster, Pa, and by his family and
friends there. lad it not been that
his father died some months ago,
leaving an estate valued at several
hundred thousand dollars, it is prob
able Lancaster would never have
known that Gable is still living. The
Sacramento man left a few days ago
for his old home to claim his share
of his fathers fortune.
He forwarded a letter to the ad-
ministrators of the estate not long
ago announcing his intentions. The
communication carried sorrow with
it, Ersla Gable, the wife who was
deserted, married again nine years
ago, firmly believing her husband to
be dead. She waited five years for
news from George Gable and then ac-
cepted the hand of another. Her sec
ond husband has now brought suit
for a divorce.

IN MOURNING ON ANNIVERSARY
Ely Business Houses Observed IncOr-
pOration Date Solemnly in
Plumbers Dream.

Among the thousands who read the
News and confess the same with
pride is Manager Mildrum of the Ne
vada Plumbing company. Mr.. Mil
drum called at the editorial rooms of
the paper yesterday to say as much
and to comment thereon to some eX
tent Among other things which he
had to say was that if the remarks of
the paper with regard to incorpora-
ton affairs of Ely were sticking with
the general public as persistently as
they were with him, the plumbers of
the Incorporated town must be suf-
fering disturbance. A dream which
the plumbing man entertained night
before last gave occasion for this re-
mark.
"It was very realistic" said Mr.
Mildrum so much SO that it awak-
ened me from sound sleep and made
me feel around for my account book

the Northern hotel. Looking across
the street | suddenly became aware
of the fact that all the business
houses over there had their doors
closed and blinds drawn. On each
door was a placard and from across
the street | could make out the
words, CLOSED account of the ami
versary of incorporation of Ely and
under each card there was a piece of
crepe 1t had mighty realistic look
and when I did get awake | had to
pinch myself to make sure it was not
actually so.

DIAMOND DRILL AT PIOCHE.
Machine Is Put at WOrk--Nay DEM
onstratc Big New Ore Area.

The long expected diamond drill
has arrived, been installed and is now
in operation, determining the extent
and richness of the ore bodies i'll the
Baltimore claim of the Nevada-Des
Moines corporation, says the Phoebe
Record.
The working and result of the OPP
erations of the drill will be watched
with interest by the local mining pub
lie, for it is the first attempt made in
the district along this line. And
again it will be watched with interest
my the public as whole, for should
the expectations of the management
be raelized it will mean more for the
future of Phoebe than anything that
has happened since its discovery
Many mining men of note have re-
peatedly maintained that there is ev-
cry indication of mineral in quanti-
ties existing in the fiat below town.
No development to any material
hepth has, however, been prosecuted.
Should the ore body be struck in the
present operations we may reasonably
expect to see the entire Hamlite fiat
prospected and many mines of i'm
portance developed.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 2O.-Dr. }.
W. James believes that the efforts of
the city board of health to stamp out

DIR. w. X. Lindsay stated that along
the water front the rats were as
thick as bees and should be poisoned.
He stated that he had made care

there and recommends that poison be

His suggestion was adopted unani-

Institution Will Open For
Business First Week
In New Year.
SERVICE MUCH NEEDED
Safety Deposit Vault in Connection
Quarters Occupied Will Be
the Finest in the Entire State.

Probably on January but posi-
bly, not until later in the first week
of the new year, the Bank of Ely in
Ely City will open for business in
occupied by any banking institution
in the state of Nevada.
During the last couple of weeks
effort to bring the bank building to
completion and to get its furnishings
installed have been pushed as fast as
possible. Yesterday the larger part
of the furniture for the Office ar
rived and was delivered at the new
building.
Need of the bank has been consid-
cradle for some time and will be
mucn greater early in the new year,
when ore line operations between
mines and smelter will make for
greatly increased activity at Ely City,
the making up point for all of the
train service of the Nevada Northern
and the ore line and the headquarters
of all employees and officials of the
lines. Accordingly it was determined
by President Armstrong of the Bank
of Ely during his recent visit to get
the Ely City bank in operation at the
earliest possible date.
In charge of the new bank as man
known and popular as teller at the
f1,T Il
Mr.. Malta has been a resident of the
district for some time. Previous to
coming here he was identified with
the Silver King Mining company at
Park City in the responsible position
of secretary. Mining camp and rail-
road business are familiar lines with
him, his knowledge of these particu-
larly fitting him for the very respon-
sible position he will have in Ely
City.
The bank Mr.. Malta will open is
attractive in high degree in a new
feature in association with banking
institutions in the district, a vault
having been built for safety deposit
boxes which will be at the disposal
of the public for rental. This vault,
as well as TWO OtHefS Ill tue DdHh
building, has had advantage of the
highest skill in construction and en-
bodies all the latest ideas which have
been evolved to make bank equipment
impervious to assault or tampering.
Beside the safety deposit vault there
is a large vault for the keeping of the
currency of the bank and of deposit
tors and another large vault for the
care of books and bank papers.
The flooring in the new bank
building is of mosaic tiling through
out and makes appearance of much
beauty. The rooms are finished in
oak and are highly pleasing to the
eye. The furniture is of the same
material The bank has two en-
frances, one facing the Steptoe hotel
and the other facing on 18th street.

Christmas
Rush is Here

With a final stampede, belated
shoppers who intend to send packages
and money orders to friends and rela-
tives in other sections of the country,
are making the lives of the postoffice
and express clerks of Ely and Ely
City interesting at present. Yester-
day the rush was especially strenu-
Gus.
People who had delayed until the
last moment to put their letters and
parcels in the mail, in order that
they should reach the intended des-
tination either Christmas eve or on
the glad day itself, waited patiently,
some of them for nearly an hour, i'll
line to register their gifts. At one
time yesterday afternoon fully 80
persons stood in line at the registry
window at the postoffice waiting turn
to transact their business.
At the stores the usual effect of
the last minute" shopper is being
experienced. Prospective purchasers
are picking over the displays and
wondering what or earth to give
Aunt Martha this year." or What
will please little Johnnie most" The
usual hurried inspection finished
possibly taking half an hour, the pur-
chaser finally decides to come down
again ''tomorrow" afternoon.
Numbers of small articles are
missed from the stores, as the petty
shoplifter gets in his or her work
and scene typical of the final rush
of Christmas shopping is to be viewed
at every store or other place in the
city city which is open for trade, OF
carriage of presents.

APPEARED VERY
CRED|TAbLY
Did All Pupils Of Ely Public Schools
Who Took Part in Closing En-
tertainment.TWO Weeks Holiday

With entertainments which would
do credit to schools of far larger at
tendance and a much more numerous
faculty, the various departments of
the public schools of Ely yesterday
closed for vacation term of two
weeks which mark the Christmas
Each child who took
part in the entertainments showed
careful training, and not one but did
credit to self and the faculty.
For days previous to the great one,
on which they were to speak their
pieces" the boys and girls had been
working after session of classes, dec
Grating the rooms and making them
attractive in order to provide proper
surroundings TO receive the proud
papas and mammas who would be
nresent. AS a result of their 1abors
rarely if ever has a more pleasing
setting than this been given the pub
lie. and both the faculty and pupils
deserve much credit for this portion
of their work
At 1880 the primary pupils began
their entertainment and Little
Mary" and Little Johnnie recited
their simple verses or sang short
songs. made delightful by childish
bashfulness. In the higher grades the
more finished productions of the
scholars were worth listening to and
without doubt the parents of those
who took part have reason TO reel
proud of their progeny.

Enos Hoge of the National Bank Of
the Republic at Salt Lake, arrived
last night to remain on business un-
til Monday, when he will return home
for Christmas.
business conditions are improving
in Salt Lake" said Mr.. Ioge last
night. while the banks have not
issued a notice recalling the cashiers
checks which were issued when the
money stringency started, they are
issuing very few of them at this time
and are gradually taking them up.

be almost up to the normal in the
general retail lines, and there has ap-
parently been no falling off in the
holiday trade as compared with other

There are many idle men in Salt

less activity in any line than usual

walls are up to the seventh story, and
the work is being crowded rapidly

AT Park City there has been a
touch of hard times because of the
heavy pay rolls and the inability of
the operators to secure enough money
to meet them in cash. Conditions on
the whole are rapidly assuming the
normal, and everything considered,
