LIVES SACRIFICED
UPON ALTAR INDUSTRY

PITTSBURG, June Human
Lives Sacrificed Upon the Altar of
Industry" might well be the title of
the blotter in the office of the COR
oner of Allegheny county, volume
that mutely procaims upon its pages
what it costs beside money for Pitts
burg and its district of smoky mills
and gridironed territory, to maintain
its prestige in the milling. mining
and mercantile markets of the coun-
try and retain its title of Workshop
of the World"
The volume, one of the records de-
manded by the laws Of the common
wealth, shows that almost so per
cent of the deaths are violent, and
are the result directly and indirectly
of the unceasing rush and grind of
the industries in the Pittsburg dis
trict, that are continually driven,
night and day, to supply the demands
of the worlds markets. Deaths from
natural causes, contagious diseases,
suicides, murders. and accidents met
in the ordinary walks of life are not
considered in this percentage.
Twenty-six hundred and sixty
deaths were reported to the coroner
in the year 1906. 1919 of which
were the results of accidents in
mills, mines or on railroads.

LEDGE RICH IN COPPER
SILVER AND LEAD.

e. e. Lutts, who is in from Ruby
valley, reports a great deal of excite
ment over some mines on Battle
creek, in that valley, recently discov-
cred by Sanley Wines. The ledge
which averages abaout fifty feet for
mile, is rich in copper, silver and
lead. The country for at least five
miles along the vein has been To-
Gated, and there are now about
twenty men on the ground doing To-
cation work. The original find is To-
Gated on the north side of Battle
creek on the east slope of the Ruby
range near the center of the valley,
and about one mile west of the road
and two miles from the ranches of F.
s. Gedney and J. w. Smith.
The assays run from 40 to 80 per
cent. copper. The original mine has
been bonded to the Utah Develop
ment company for $4,000. This
company expects to build a boarding
house as soon as the lumber can be
placed on the ground and will then
put about 100 men to work on the
mine.

tions of the various streams with a

STATE INSPECTION
OF RAILROAD TRACKS
President Roosevelt and Several
Governors Asked to Assist in
Campaign.

KANSAS CITY, June 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the governors of
several states have been asked to
aid the National Union Railway
Trackmen in campaign for greater
safety in railway travel. J. |. Shep-
pard of Fort Scott, Kansas, secretary
of the organization, yesterday sent
out letter addressed to the presiv
dent and several governors, in which
he said:
''If we can obtain the cooperation
of all who should be Interested, we
will have as safe conditions for rail-
way travel in our country as pre-
vail in Europe. We certainly should
have government or state inspection
of railway tracks. Some one should
be held responsible to the people for
keeping the tracks in proper repair
and properly patrolled.
''It is a curious condition of af-
fairs, but it is true. We have state
inspection of factories and mines, of
beer, barber, pharmacists and den
lists; there is state control over the
product of the busy bee, and the
farmer who raises wheat must pay
state inspection fee before he mar
kets his grain. But there is now
no law that is observed that provides
for the inspection of railroad tracks. "

BRIGHT PROS
PECTS In THE
EAGLE DISTRICT
Rich Mines Being Opened That
Haven't Been Worked for
Thirty Years.

w. H. Hoppe and Frank Gordan
have returned from the Eagle dis
trict, about 80 miles from Ely, and
report having made some fine loca-
tions. The mines in the Eagle dis
trict were discovered in the eighties
but haven't been worked for years.
Silver, gold and copper are found In
large quantities.
Mr.. Hoppe states that prospectors
are looking for a lost mine that was
originally discovered many years ago
by a Mexican. The ore was carried
out on burros An Indian is the on
ly person who knows of the location
of the property and he refuses to
lead anyone to it. His only direction
is that the mine is half days walk
and is at the foot of a spring.
Hopple and Gordan have located a
mine that was worked in 81. 1t
goes IS ounces in silver and SO in
gold A man owned the property,
but got into an alteration with
prospector, resulting in his murder
ing the latter. He had to leave the
country and the mine has been idle
ever since. The new locators will re-
turn to this district this week
A company known as the Randall
Potter-Hunter company has eXpend-
ed fully 100000 opening mines in
this district and intends doing some
extensive development work. Morris
& Company have thirteen claims, the
surface of which shows per cent
copper. Work has been done on
only one of the claims, but the entire
+ thirtnnn are most prnmiciOp
The Western Pacific will pass
within 60 miles of the center of the
district and the capitalists interested
in the mining properties figure on
having railroad communication be-
fore long. This will make the dis
trict one of the liyeliest in the state.

LOST OPTION
ON Mines NOW
VERY VALUABLE
Disregard and MagnusOn Regain
Title to Five Rich
Claims.

One of the most important deci-
sions rendered in the local district
court in a long time was. made by
Judge Brown last Saturday in the
case of John Magnuson and James
Disregard against William Holm
burg. The suit was for the title of
mining property that has become
very valuable and which is now in
great demand. Attorney Thomas E.
Mcclellan of the law firm of Belford,
Schwayder & Mcclellan represented
Magnuson and Disregard, and the
decision was in the plaintiffs favor.
The case lasted three days-Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week, and some interesting testi-
mony was brought out. Holmburg
was one of the main witnesses and
when he had finished testifying and
the evidence was all in he was SEN
tenced to serve two years in state
with intent to kill. He was convict
ed recently on that charge.
According to the evidence the
plaintiffs had given Holmburg an op-
tion on their claims-the Sun, Moon,
Morning Glory, Highland No. 1, No.
2 and No. 8. These claims adjoin
the McDonald-Ely property. The op-
tion was for $4,000 and per agree
nnent Holmburg was to have paid
900 on the first of last February
and $35, 900 on the first of next Feb
ruary. He also consented to do the
assessment work by beginning opera
tions ninety days after the date OF
the option.
It seems he didn't do the assess
ment work. but assigned his option
to Attorney Coleman on December
28th last. This gave him only -four
days during which to perform the
work. In the meantime the claims
became very valuable and Ostregard
and Magnuson were made larger of
fers for an option on the property
They therefore had the assessment
work done b ore the first of the
year. Holmbhrg, however, at the
last hour, started to do the work.
The natural result was the trial
above mentioned and Saturday the
court decided the matter by nullify.
ing the option of Holmburg and
awarding the title and possession tC
Ostregard and Magnuson.

NEWCOMB'S STORE
BURGLARIzEDSAT-
URDAY NIGHT

A burglar entered Newcomb's fruit
store in this city last Saturday night
and helped himself to the money in
the cash register and revolver.
There was $3.50 in silver and a one
dollar bill which Mr.. Newcomb had
been saving as souvenir, 1t being
the first dollar taken in when the
store opened. A revolver, valued at
$18 was taken from a roll top desk.
The burglar crawled through an
opening above the rear door. The
man must have been a walking skele-
ton, as the aperture is not more than
seven inches in width. He turned off
the electric lights so he would not
be seen from the street. The noise
attracted the attention of the wife of
a cigar store proprietor next door,
but she had no idea it was a burg
lar and didn't awaken her husband.
1t has not been ascertained whether
the burglar obtained any goods.
The case has been reported to the
sheriff but no trace has been found
of the fellow.
