PROSPECTOR'S
CLOSE CALL
Following Fall Into an Abandoned
Working, R. E. Mason Had a
Strenuous Experience.

r. T.. Mason, a prospector, arrived
in the city yesterday in a state of
physical collapse as the result OF
which would have claimed
as forfeit the life of less than Il
rugged man of the mountain and
desert country.
Mason fell in an old prospect hole
while examining country about 40
miles south of the city on Saturday
last. The hole was over 20 feet
deep and the man was unable to
make his way out of it until Monday
morning, two days after his fall and
during which time he had neither
food or water. A prospecting pick
which he had in his belt enabled him
to dig foot holds in the walls of the
shaft and by the most laborious and
constant effort, under great strain,
he managed to reach the top of the
hole and pull himself out. Exhaust
ed from the loss of sleep and lack of
food and water, Mason tainted on
getting out of the hole and laid on
the ground senseless for some hours.
recovering consciousness to find him
self so numb from cold that it was
lllDOSSlDle LOT Hill W HloNe MS illliDS.
In his extremity he rolled over an
embankment, tumbling down into the
bed of a canyon. In his fall he sus-
tanned a sprained ankle.
His burros wandered away during
the time Mason was imprisoned in
the shaft and when he finally drag
ged himself from the creek bed to his
canning place he found nothing
there but a short supply of provisions
that he had left. After such meal
as he could gather from these he
started on foot for a ranch house,
which he reached with his ankle
swollen until it had burst his shoe.
He was brought to the city from the
ranch and on arrival appeared none
the worse for his experience, barring
the injured ankle, which will proba-
bly, lay him up for several weeks.

GRAND JURORS
ARE WORKING
Visit County Property and Take up
Hospital Observation-Disclosures
In Felony Cases...Other Work

Two true bills were returned by the
grand jury, in which j. w. blue
Steel Williams, negro, was indicted
for receiving stolen property, and
JAMES Quarles, negro, was indicted
for assault with intent to kill his
wife. Williams was proprietor of the
Black Diamond saloon in Ely at the
time the warehouse of the f. NJ. Clark
drug store was broken into and a
large quantity of liquors and cigars
stolen. The goods were traced to the
Black Diamond saloon. Williams
was arrested and bound over to the
grand jury. Quarles had an alterca-
ton with his wife in August and
fired at her with revolver, narrowly
missing her. He was arrested and
bound over to the grand jury
Neither Williams nor Quarles was
able to furnish the bail bond re-
quired, and both have been in the
county jail since their arrest.
The grand jury summoned a large
number of witnesses yesterday, and
it is believed began an examination
into the conduct of the Dillon county
hospital The jury visited the hos

HOUSES
To ELY CITY
Ely Buildings Coming Over Road
To the Center Of Population and
Activity in This Big District.

Moving by piece is not fast enough
these days for the Elyites coming to-
Ely City to reside, SO they are NOV
town of progress and prosperity and
setting them on lots that will in al
little while be in the center of pop
ulation and of the big activity of the
district. Two houses were started
on the road yesterday and more are
coming. The owners say that by this
procedure they will be at home at
once and that they can make addi-
tons and improvements in keeping
with surroundings in Ely City when
they get established on the ground.
Rumor of a building or two on
which estimates of cost of moving
to Ely City have been asked of con-
tractors, is supposed to have to do
with the edifices occupied by the
plants of the Record and the EXPOSE
tor which have for some time been
understood to have desire to get into
quarters in Ely City, and the man
agements of which have concluded
that If they do not get a hustle on
themselves they will be all alone in
the town of complaints. The change
in location of population has become
such in fact that the evening paper
finds Ely City its only source of in
quiry for copies, a fact put forth
modestly in announcement in its col
umns early in the week, presumably
by way of giving advance reason for
the removal contemplated to the real
town of the district

GETTING NEW TRAIN.

Early in the new year the Nevada
Northern Wi, receive one of the
handsomest trains ever operated on
line of similar length in all the
west.
The new train. consisting of three
coaches and baggage, mail and eX-
press cars is now being built by the
st. Louis Car company. The order
was put in several months ago and
Manager Cannon of the railroad is
expecting word any day that the new
equipment has been started west.
The additional cars when received
will enable a much more comfortable
service than has heretofore been
given between the city and Cobre for
day coach passengers and will also
enable the company to make use of
the cars now in service for other
needs which will develop later along

TAMMANY SENTIMENT DIVIDED
The Democrats in the east are all
at sea as to their candidate. In Tam
many hall division exists on the ex-
pediency of nominating Bryan a third
time. He has many strong friends
as we'll as enemies 1t is believed
that Leader Charles F. Murphy is OPP
posed to Bryan and that he is plot
ting against him. Many members of
Tammany resent Murphy's course
and threaten to make things hot for
him. The conditions here on the
Bryan proposition are probably rep
resentative of those in many other
states and the outcome with refer
ence to his candidacy is very uncer-
tain.
Many politically wise men see in
the starring" of Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou, in the fashion in
which the president is assigning him
to the center of the stage and in the
ceaseless efforts that he is making
to satisfy Wall street, an effort to
placate the financial interests, which
are so bitterly hostile to the presi-

e. l.. r.. Wallace was also on the
stand few minutes, but was ex-
cused and instructed to return later
in the day. The members of the
grand jury inspected the jail and
court house and the court house

MAY GUTTER AND
CURB AULTMAN ST,
PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO STAND BUR-
DEN OF EXPENSE.

1t is understood steps may be TAX
EN- before long toward guttering and
curbing Aultman street. The mat
ter has been suggested to the men,
bers of the city council and that
body has informally discussed the
proposition.
The street is not in the best of
condition and it is argued that If
cutters and curbs We're laid the ap-
pearance would be greatly improved
and the thoroughfare would be east
ly drained during the wet weather.
AS it is there is no way of relieving
the accumulation of mud and water.
Eliminating First and Seventh
streets the distance would be five
blocks and would include practically
the entire business section of the
city. The city would have TO pay
the expense of constructing the curbs
and cutters at street intersections
while the property owners would foot
the remainder of the cost.
If it is decided to take such steps
the matter will first be submitted to
the property owners and if they agree
with the plans the council will order
the work done.

RACE WAR IN
INDIANA TOWN
ARREST OF NEGROES WHO AS
SAULTED OFFICERS STARTS
THE TROUBLE.

SHELBYNILLE, Ind, Sept. H.
Shelbyville is in the throes of another
race war The trouble was started
Wednesday, when five negroes at
tackled Policeman Daniel Starkey,
beat him into insensibility, and fled
when crowd of whites arrived. Five
shots were fired at ne fleeing negroes
but none, so far as is known, took
effect
A posse of 100 whites was quickly
formed and secured the city. Mayor
Swain and a party OF policemen cap
tured two of the colored men, Steve
Marshall and Robert Marshall, near
the outskirts of the city hey were
spirited to jail, where they are closely
guarded. The other negroes have not
been arrested.
The police kept the local negroes
on the move all Wednesday night.
They were not permitted to congre-
gate on street corners or in the por-
tions of the town where they reside.
BY last night the streets were cleared
of negroes. No violence was attempt
ed during the night, but crowds of
angry white citizens stood on street
corners threatening the blacks.

HAS WOMAN LAWYER
AS A BUSTER OF TRUSTS
Mrs. Quackenbos, Member of New
York Bar, Member of Bona
parties STAFF.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Attor-
ney General Bonaparte has employed
a woman, Mrs. Mary Grace Quacken-
bos, of No. 253 Broadway, member
of the New York bar, as special as
sistant in his antitrust campaign.
Mrs Quackenbos is in New Orleans
investigating the tight combination
in the lumber business created by
Pearl Wight, prospective commission
er of internal revenue ande Roosevelt
representative in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, an exposure of which was
published in the World early in June.
Just what phase of the combination
is the object of her scrutiny was not
divulged by the officials of the de-
partment of justice today, who ad
mitted that she had been employed
as a special assistant by Mr.. Bona
parte. They said she had been en-
ployed by Mr. Bonaparte himself and
that she was doing confidential work
for him In New Orleans she also
admitted it.
Women attorneys have been en-
ployed by the department of justice
in other matters, bu- Mrs. Quacken-
hos is the first one 10 be given a
brief in the fight against the trusts.
Wide latitude is given the attorney
general in the selection of assistants.
Many of the men are not lawyers,
some being employed in taking depo-
sitions and others to disclose places
where evidence can be procured. But
Mrs. Quackenbos is employed because
she is a lawyer and, Mr.. Bonaparte
was told, is capable and willing to
undertake the work in opposition to
the men employed on the other side.

WANTED TO BECOME CITIZEN
BUT COULD NOT WRITE
Antonio Rodriguez VIII Have to Go
To Some School And Study
For u While.

Antonio Rodriguez applied to Dep
uty County Clerk Oldfield yesterday
afternoon for papers showing his in
tention of becoming a citizen of the
United States. He was accompanied
by his brorner and when requested to
write his name the latter did so for
him. The clerk stated that the appli-
cant would have to write his own
name, so Rodriguez started to copy
the name as written by his brother.
He got as far as the first curve of
the letter "a and gave up the job.
Mr.. Oldfield informed him that he
would have to write his name before
he could take out his papers and his
brother stated that he would send
him to school,
The old law made it possible for
aliens to make their mark but the
change in the naturalization laws
makes it anything but easy to take
out papers. The government has
given out explicit instructions con-
cerning the issuance of naturaliza-
tion papers.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
MAY INTERVENE
AND SETTLE DIFFERENCES BE-
TWEEN ATTORNEY GENERAL
AND JUDGE Lands.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt may intervene in the
impending clash hetween Attorney
General Bonaparte and Judge K M.
Lands over the immunity tangle in
the Chicago &. Alton rebate case is
now firmly believed, as lhe indica-
tions point to his active participation
in the court complications for the
purpose of bringing harmony be-
tween the federal officials and ending
the present tense situation.
The desire of Judge Lands to push
the investigation of the rebate
charges against the road, which re-
suited in the $29,240,000 fine against
the Standard Oil company, and the
determination of Attorney General
Bonaparte to insist upon immunity
for the road present one of the most
serious government clashes in years.
The president is known to have kept
in close touch with the situation, and
it was declared today in government
circles that he will take the opportu-
nifty of the hurried visit of District
Attorney Sims east to find solution
to the perplexing problem.
Sims i'm Delicate Position.
The delicate position of Mr.. Sims,
who must obey the orders of the
court as well as the instructions of
his superior in the department of jus
tice, has been presented to the presi-
dent, as well as the sudden, mysteri-
Gus action of the Chicago prosecutor
in securing the three weeks stay of
the grand jury session.
1t is believed by government off
cials that a final decision will be
reached to let the grand jury probe
proceed, and even go as far as to
bring an indictment against the road.
In the meantime the Standard Oil
case will reach the appellate court
and the government will be in a po-
sition to compel the railroad to keep
it's agreement to the end of the case
as an aid to the federal attorneys or
the immunity promise Will be de-
clared violated
This is believed to be the view of
Mr.. Sims, and President Roosevelt
could easily convince Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte of the wisdom of the
course, which would also avoid even
the semblance of a clash with Judge
Lands.

WEALTHY WOMAN PAYS
FINE FOR BEGGING

LOS ANGELES. Sept. l1.-Mrs.
Lizzie C. Miller, owner of big bank
account and thirty-seven lots in Long
Beach, pleaded guilty to begging be-
fore Judge Rose and was fined $50.
The fine was promptly paid, but not
before the woman had been given a
severe lecture by the court, who said
that if she was ever convicted on
like charge straight Jail sentence
without the alternative of fine,
would be administered. The woman
was arrested at the instigation of the
Associated Charities, who had been
on her trail for three years. A de-
termined effort to show guiltlessness
was made at first, but this seemed to
have failed. as without further ado
she pleaded guilty.

ERUPTION In ALEUTIAN
ISLANDS OCCURRED RECENTLY

the revenue cutter Rush, lying at
Dutch Harbor, and dated September
4th, says that on September 1st and
I'd, volcano in the Aleutian islands
broke forth, sending tons of ashes
and cinders ofer a score or more of
native villages, frightening the ma
tive Alaskans as well as the whites
out of their wits and covering the
decks of the cutter Rush with debris
from the volcano. A hurricane ac-
companied the phenomenon and wild
fowl of all kinds were driven far to
sea. No lives were reported lost.
The eruption occurred in the vicinity
of the volcanic island Perry, which
sprang up from the sea, short time
after the San Francisco earthquake.
