INVESTORS ARE
WELL POSTED
President VanDeuSen of Ely Trust
Co. Says Outside Financiers Have
Studied Ely Well

The Ely Trust company reports
that a large number of the leading
and most substantial banking and fl
nancial houses of New York are TAX
ing an unusual amount of interest in
Ely mining properties and are inquir-
ing closely into conditions here.
THE knowledge that these finan-
ciers have of Ely and the properties
of the camp is not excelled by the in
formation possessed by our local min
ing men," said President Van Deu-
sen yesterday afternoon.
These bankers and financiers all
know where the ground lies in all
of the big properties. they know Just
what properties are adjacent to other
properties; and they know as well
and as thoroughly as do local min
ing men the extent and geographical
boundaries of the mineral belt here,
This general knowledge of the
camp is Il certain indication that they
are interested in the possibility of
making paying investments here, and
is a sure sign that the camp will be
benefited by an influx of their mon
ey for the purposes of developing
and working the properties of the
district.
There is probably no other camp
in the country which is so thorough
ly known to these financiers as Ely,
and the inevitable result will be that
their money will be sent here for use
and the improvement of the entire
district and this section of Nevada
will be given a greater impetus than
it has ever known before.

WELLS FREED
FROM CUSTODY
Former Bartender At BaSSett'S,
Suspected of Safe Robbery, Is
Set Free After Hearing

Charles " ills, formerly barten-
der employed by J. r. Bassett, in the
New Resort saloon, who was charged
with grand larceny and who was
twice given preliminary hearings on
the charge of having stolen 81 400
from the safe of the saloon, was
again set at liberty, yesterday, the
prosecution falling to produce evil
dence which in the mind of Justice
Cartwright would warrant holding
Wells for trial in the district court.
The opinion of Justice Cartwright
was given after he had had the case
under advisement for one day. The
case was hard fought one from be-
ginning to end, special counsel hav-
ing been engaged to conduct the pros
ecution The state was represented
by Devecmon and Zurich, and Mr..
Maughn and Wells interests were
cared for by Attorneys Clarence j.
McFadden and Benjamin Coleman.
The case was stubbornly contested
for three days, and a mass of testi-
mony was adduced by both sides. The
evidence was voluminous and the
statements of the witnesses for both
sides were so conflicting that Justice
Cartwright took the matter under ad-
visement.
Il do not believe that | have ever
seen a case in the court of a justice
of the peace which was more thor
oughly presented by both the people
and the defendant. that this has
been,'' said Justice Cartwright as a
preface to his decision. mo ground
has been left unturned by either side
and the case has been most thorough
ly sifted.
THE evidence adduced by the
prosecution is purely circumstantial.
Evidence, in order to hold the ac-
cused must not only inculpate the
defendant but must exclude the pos
sibility of the offense having been
committed by another person.
1t is the opinion of the court that
the evidence is hardly sufficient to
hold the defendant to the grand
jury. and he is accordingly discharg-
ed.
AS soon as the decision was given
Wells addressed the court
II desire TO thank the court for his
/ opinion, he said Il live in Ely and
| am going To remain here. There
is one request | would like to make
of the court and of the officers. That
is, that the person or persons who
stole the money be apprehended and
convicted in order that my name may

There are many, perhaps, who
have heard that ] was charged with
this crime and who may not hear |

to see the real offender arrested and
convicted that | may be set right be-
fore the community.
Attorney Jurich moved that the
charge against Ruby Wells, woman
of the Tenderloin, charged with be-
ing an accomplice to the crime, be
dismissed and the court discharged
the woman.
