NATOR KEARNS BUYS
THE LUCKY STRIKE

The negotiations which have been
on for sorle weeks between the own
ers of the Lucky Strike, J. b. Hor-
ton, r. NJ. Horton and c. w. Burge,
and Senator Kearns of Silver King
fame, represented by +. p. Evans,
terminated last week in the transfer
of the entire interest in the rich
property to the Utah capitalists, says
the Battle Mountain Herald
This property was one OF the rich
strikes made nere early i'll the fall
and caused considerable excitement
at the time. Rich ore was uncov-
cred foot and half from the sur
face, in {. vein about four feet wide,
and the property became shipper
from the first days working. The
work progressed without interruption
up to the time negotiations were en-
tered into which resulted in the sale.
A shaft was sunk on the vein to a
depth of 80 feet and a tunYel run in
little over 90 feet, intersecting the
vein and connecting with the shaft.
Lea asers on the property have driven
a tunnel $50 feet in search of the eX-
tension of the lode on the north end.
After The Lucky Strike was discov-

TO MAKE REPORT IN JANUARY
Official Classification Committee
VIII Soon BE Ready With
Its Findings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Concern-
ing the preparation of a uniform
classification, d. o. Ives of st. Louis,
general traffic manager of the Wa
bash and one of the committee in the
conduct of the work, says that it is
of exceeding Importance for both
railroads and shippers, and adds:
1T is important because it will
mean revision of all present classi-
fications and, possibly, all tariffs. Tfe
least step wrongg,rnp ade may result
in utter fail. Co" accomplish good.
Jobbing Its, for instance, will
be .layS' : or benefited by making
wv orm classification unless close
sention is paid to conditions. If
rates are increased it will bring a
storm of disapproval from shippers,
while if the rates are lower the rail
roads will lose the small profit that
now ensues. Every member of the
uniform classification committee re-
alizes this, think, and will act to the
best of his knowledge.
THE committee will meet early in
January to begin work on a report
that is to be sent to traffic vice presi-
dents of all American roads on or
about April /. After the report is
made a permanent committee will
probably be appointed to work out the
plan recommended by the present
committee.

HEAVY SENTENCE
FOR GUN PACKER
NJ. FITZPATRICK MUST SPEND
FORTY DAYS IN JAIL AS RE-
SUIT OF GETTING DRUNK AND
FLOURISHING REVOLVER.

The local campaign against gun
packers and the practice of carrying
concealed deadly weapons, was given
a marked impetus yesterday when M.
Fitzpatrick. well known miner, was
sentenced by Judge Cartwright to pay
a fine of $50 or spend 40 days in the
county jail Not having the money
Fitzpatrick was forced to choose the
latter alternative.
While under the influence of liquor
he fiourished a revolver on Aultman
street, the arresting officer stated
and was instantly taken in custody.
The weapon was 32 caliber nickel
plated affair, of the English bull
dog" variety, the barrel being little
over an inch in length.
Fitzpatrick stated that he had been
in Spring Valley on mining business
and had just returned to the section
Saturday night To cure a bad cold
he alleged, he took a little whisky
He claimed that he had not taken a
drink previous to this time for yeal
and that the liquor therefore af-
fected him very quickly, as well as
evilly.
While the judge expressed regret
at the effect of the booze and its con
sequences to the prisoner, he was moi
slow in assessing the penalty.
The officials are determined, it is
stated, that gun packing shall be less
common in this section. The fate OF
Fitzpatrick will be warning tC
others habitually guilty of the same
practice, it is thought.

A LITTLE TOO HOT.
Fire Story Too Much for Box OF
Matches and they Flared Out in
NarratOr's Face.

Did you ever start to tell a good
story of time when you had come
near burning down a house, while
lighting smoke, and then light a
whole package of matches to give
emphasis to your tale? No? Well,
that's what Dave Saulter of the Ely
Water company did last night in the
cafe at the Steptoe hotel and for a
moment good deal of excitement
prevailed Except for scorching his
fingers rather severely no damage
was done TO either Saulter or his sur
roundings.
Saulter had barely finished telling
his companions at the table of an
other time when he had set fire to
a lace curtain by a spark flying from
the end of a match as he struck it.
He lighted match on the box on
the table and as in the story, put it
to his cigarette He was preparing
to finish the story when, with flare
and puff, the whole box famed out
into his very face. Excitement reign
ed for few moments but it was
found that aside from a trifing burn
on the thumb of his right hand
which, vely luckily. had been be-
tween his face and the flame, Saultel
was unharmed. The only property
damage was the burning of the
matches.
Saulter has now sworn off telling
fire" stories, saying that they are
too hot to be safe.

LOST HIS CASH
ON THE TRAIN
Jacob SchaIIenbareer Has Pocket
Picked to Tune Of $40 Be.
tween Ogden and Salt Lake City

Leaving this city Friday with a
we'll filled wallet for holiday visit
in Salt Lake City, Jacob Schallen-
barger, well known citizen of this
district, arrived at his destination
only to find that his pockets had been
picked by some one on the train and
he was the loser by some $140, ac-
cording to a story appearing in a
Salt Lake paper.
Schallenbarger left Ely with par
ty of excursionists who embarked on
their journey Friday morning, tax
ing advantage of the low Christmas
rates. When he departed he had, be-
side some loose change in his trous-
ers pocket, approximately $40 in
currency in walle1 it is stated.
On the train, between Ogden and
Salt Lake he dropped off to sleep.
Before that time he was practically
certain that the wallet was in his
possession it is said. On arriving in
Salt Lake he discovered his loss and
made complaint to the officers. Train
officials were notified, but it is
thought there is little chance of any
one being apprehended for the bold
theft. TIN t/,ory advanced by the
police is that a pickpocket got among
the passengers and took possession OF
Mr. Schallenbarger's money. No
other losses among the passengers on
the train were mentioned in the ac-
count of the theft of the Elyite' S
money

NEv. NOR. GAINS
ON ITS SCHEDULE
RAILWAY THIS MORNING MAKES
4 DECREASE OF 25 MINUTES IN
RUNNING TIME BETWEEN
HERE AND COBRE.

Beginning with this morning the
time table of the Nevada Northern,
so far as leaving in the morning is
concerned, is changed, and much for
the better, as % minutes is gained
in running time. At 1853 the train,
outbound for Cobre, leaves Ely and
leaves Ely City at s a. m. This hour
will be fare more convenient for
travellers than that formerly in force.
The cause of the change in sched-
ule is that recently General Manager
Cannon and Superintendent Duddle-
son made a trip over the road and,
finding that the constant work ex-
pended on it has placed the trackage
in good condition for trains to make
faster time, decided that the new
time table should at once be put into
effect.
Except for hour of leaving the
schedule stands practically unatered
so far as local conditions are con
cerned, the time of arrival on the re-
turn trip being eos.

rass, a Rock Springs sheepman, was
shot and killed in his sheep camp be-
tween Government Slide and Haley
on Beaver creek, Wednesday night,

terday by Frank Kahler and another
herder called big Jack" who no.
ticed the sheep wandering without a
herder. They rounded up the sheep
and found the body of Pease at the
camp. He had evidently been killed
with rife, and there were some evil
dences of a struggle, as the stock was
broken off the Winchester A mes
senger was sent to- Lander, and it was
upon a telephone message from him
that Stalcup was arrested. Coroner
J. w. Schoo has gone to HALEY to
hold an inquest. Stalcup has con-
fessed the crime, but claims self de-
fense, saying that Pease came at him
with a butcher knife and he was
forced to shoot to save his own life.
He claims to be but 19 years old but
looks older. He had been in the. en-
ploy of Barrass for four months,
coming here from the Big Horn coun-
try, this state. Pease was a member
of the Woodmen of the World, and
his funeral will be held here Mon
