GREAT CROWD Ar CIRCUIT RACES

smiley NJ EAmont.


FREMONT, Neb., July 3.-(Spccial Tele-
gram)-The business houses, with two eN-
ceptions. closed Wednesday and every
body and his family was at the race track.
The grandstand and quarterstretch were
crowded and the fence lined on both sides,
The track was not fast, which accounts
for the slow time In the 2;lO pace, which
was the best race on the program.
Cooksie was the %favorite with the know
ing ones In the 216 tot, but he seemed TO
be off some way and was badly distanced
In the second heat. Ginger, a Utah horse,
made a great showing in the first two heats
of the 2IO pace, closely pressed by the old
reliable, Fred ii. Robare. who showed his
skill and experience In the sulky and that
was largely what won the race. When
Ginger gets he Is likely to
break some Nebraska track records.
Crcston overturned the sulky, snllilng the
driver, on the first quarter OF the trst
heat, but got straightened out and escaped
the distance flag. Had this accident not
occurred he stood a good show OF winning.
In the S-year-old class Pullman Thorne,
the favorite, had everything his own way.
He led over the course In both heats and
could have cut the time several seconds
easily by half trying. Summary:

all these views nothing new. The

that didn't make good. So they are
going to see.
A report brought to the city which
is considered reliable is that there
are upward of thousand men in
Rawhide who cannot at this time get
out because of lack of funds. They
are principally from California ard
landed in the camp during the early
winter expecting to commence pick
ing nuggets out of the streets imme-
diately on landing. They have been
much disappointed. There have been
a few sales of property and high ac-
tivity on the part of investors is ex-
pected in the spring.
The trip from here to Rawhide is
one of about 400 miles by road.
Good driving might land the traveller
at his destination within II days.

RECOVERY OF PROPERTY
Law PROVIDING THE WAY

Perhaps they do not know it, as
a number of the people whose proper

taxes were absent from the section,
but they can redeem properties at
any time within six months from
date of sale by complying with legal
requirements, said County Treasurer
Miles yesterday
"Of the entire lot of so odd pieces
of property which went under the
hammer large number were bid in
by the county, no other bidder car

for six months and on July 81 sale

Bray Mines Co.
Is Ruled Off
Exchange

The Bray Mines company, eorpo-
ration whose stock has hitherto been
sold on the local stock exchange, was
yesterday barred from the boards, at
the request of d. c. Mcdonald, pres
ident of the exchange and a stock
holder in the company. His reason
for requesting the move was. he stat
ed. that he had Investigated the
property and found ii to be without
practical merit.
Up to month ago sales of this
stock were made locally at an av-
erage of So cents. Mr.. Mcdonald in
his capacity of president of the stock
exchange several weeks ago caused
calling of the stock to cease and no
trades have since been made through
the exchange.
In the meantime he has been ex-
amining the worth of the proposition
and as result made his request yes
terday. This is the second move of
tie kind which has been made by the
exchange recently and illustrates the
fact that they have watch on the in
terests of the public and propose pro-
lection of the latter.
The company barred has holdings
in California and in the Battle Noun
tain district. The fault lies in non
development of their properties, IL is
stated

Says
DiSturberS
Are Gone

Sheriff X. C. Davis returned last
night after two days stay at Riepe-
town and McGill, during which he
collected licenses and attended to
other business connected with his Of
fee.
Mr.. Davis stated that collection of
poll tax would be commenced next
month. II was his intention origin
ally to start collection at once on as
suming Office but as most or the pay
days are past he decided that he
would wait until next month to issue
the receipt books
Mr.. Davis stated that he found
everything quiet at the smelter and in
his opinion the removal of the un-
employed men a short time since was
one of the best moves which could
have been undertaken. This class
was responsible for lawlessness.

a rush is without question on in
earnest to Rawbide, to which this
district is contributing in no small
degree. Most everybody who can
take the time TO get away and go
see about the new camp is going, or
Il as went"
Most of those who have gone from
here have travelled by train, around
by Reno and down from there. Some
few have driven out and more are 60
ing that way. Among those prepar-
ing to make early start over the road
are II. V. Meloy with an outfit, and
Charles Van Trend with another.
Mr.. Van Trend is known almost ex-
clusiyely about the camp as
"Frenchy" and will be placed by few
under any other name.
Reports coming to the city from
Rawhide vary widely. They range
all the way from bigger than Gold

PASSENGER RATES WILL BE
LOWERED WITHIN 30 DAYS
Railroad Men Are Now Arranging
New. Schedule-Statement by
Railroad Commissioner.

Prof. Henry Thurtell, member OF
the Nevada Railroad commission,
states that In less than 80 days, the
people of Nevada will be enjoying
cheaper railroad rates all over the
state. and into the neighboring
states. The passenger traffic manag-
ers OF the different lines have been
working on new passenger schedules
since the meeting of the Nevada Rail-
road commissioners and the railroad
officials some time ago, and nearly all
arrangements have been completed.
Il believe that the people will be en-
ioying lower passenger rates on all
railroads before another month has
passed" Commissioner Thurtell is
quoted as saying. 1--WE have been
working on the new schedule steadily
and have now agred on nearly every
point The railroad officials disa-
greed on many propositions and these
had to be settled before a new sched-
nle could be arranged"

Lack OF Evidence in
Case of POuIaS..
Postponement

Jim Poulas. accused of being aeces-
sorry after the fact in the shooting of
Deputy Constable Davis at the smelter
last week, was yesterday discharged
from custody, there not being suffi-
eient evidence to connect him with
the crime.
Several witnesses testified that
they had seen a man of his general
appearance crossing the plains with
rifle and cartridge belt, but none
could positively identity him. On ac-
count of the lack of evidence. Justice
Cartwright decided that the man
could not be held.
The Panpandreuu case when
brought up for hearing was continued
until this afternoon at o'clock, it
being shown by the prosecution that
several important witnesses could be
subpoenaed in the meantime who
could not at present be brought into
court. Subpoenaes We're issued for
taem and given into the hands of the
officers for service.

Many Inquiries Coming
In From Country Give
Occasion for Belief.

That Ely City is TO play an import
ant part as center of attraction for
real estate visitors among people Of
the west who are familiar with the
value of copper camp realty holdings
and know of their worth as invest
ments as well as quick profit makers,
is evidenced by numerous inquiries
which are being received by the
Townsite company with regard to
lots. The west. however, does not
participate alone in these inquiries.
The mails every day bring queries
from all parts of the country, from
the Atlantic 10 the Pacific and from
far up in Canada down TO Mexico.
While queries from some parts of
the country at this season of the year
are not strange or out of the ordi-
nary, IL Is different with many OF
those the Townsite company is re-
ceiving from Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing and other states which are at this
time buried In deep winter. People
of these states seldom look to realty
Investments in the winter time and
that they are now doing so in the
case of this district demonstrates a
most unusual interest. The man in ,
balmy climate of the southland deals
in real estate all the year aEound and
It is not surprising to hear from him,
but it is different with the others.
The interest which is being dis
played in realty of the district
throughout so large a scope of the
country is probably due to the wide
circulation which has been given
monthly to Watch Ely Grow" and
which has undoubtedly served to ad-
yertise the district to an extent great
er than has been enjoyed by any
ether copper camp OF the west in the
course of upbuilding.
Meantime while queries are COM
ing In about realty there is a little
moving in the district all the time.
Hardly day has passed during the
winter, despite close times that have
prevailed generally, that there has
not been one or more transfers re-
corded. Everything points to a spring
of much activity in the movement of
property. which will be accompanied
from all present indications by a
large amount of building.

Validate CIaimsOf
SurveyOrs---Mines'
Department

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Hepburn reported to the senate to-
day a very important measure from
The committee ON mines and mining,
the object of which is to validate the
location of mineral claims heretofore
made by deputy mineral surveyors,
the interior department having held
that deputy mineral surveyors, al
though not officers of the govern
ment, are prohibited from locating
claims on pubic lands, a rule which
properly applies to employees of the
general land office.
There is conflict of opinion between
some of the courts and the secretary
of the interior as to whether or not
deputy mineral surveyors come with
In the prohibition clause of section
452 of revised statutes applying to
oihcers and employees of the general
land office.
The statutes provide for a forfeit
ure OF his commission by any officer
or employe, but says nothing about
the effect of the law upon the validity
Of any location made by such an Off
Ger or employe, hence the importance
of legislation on this point, in order
to set at rest any question as to such
locations and titles passed thereon.
The committee on mines and min
ing today had under consideration the
bill introduced by Senator Hepburn
