City Marshal J. II. Hudgens yes
terday dismissed W. C. Norman
and M. Harrington, city policemen,
and In consequences Ely is now with
out protection other than that af-
forded by the marshal and the coun-
ty officers. The dismissal OF both
the officers created considerable sur
prise about town. although it was
general known that one of them had
to go, according to orders issued by
the council at meeting two weeks
ago.
Marshal Hudgens in making state
ment of the case said yesterday that
he was endeavoring to conserve the
interests of the taxpayers of Ely in
dismissal of both the officers. as
there is little being done criminally
in the section at presen, and their
salaries can be saved to be used on
work of public betterment. Another
reason for his action in letting boa
out was that he had been ordered by
the council to dismiss one and as
both we're close friends he did not
wish to choose between them. lie
argues that his move is good one,
as In case of necessity one or both
the men ca nhe put back on the force
at once.
Ever since the order of the coun
ell WAS made public speculation has
been rife as to which of the two
would be let out. II was generally
thought that Moorman would be re-
tained The step of the marshal,
while it is doubtless good one in
face of existing conditions. Is a cause
of much surprise. The council only
ordered the dismissal of one member
of the force, after several protests
had been made, individually. al
though never in open meeting,
against retention of a city officer at
salary of $50 month when there
was no need of having him. One
citizen yesterday in discussing the
matter, said:
Il think that this move is good
one. II the city councilmen would
now put in with the marshal in saw
ing money to the city and would
serve without salary, as they should,
1t would better things materially.
Whether the step taken by Mr..
Hudgens will be approved by the
council or whether he will be orr
dered to put one of the men back
on the force is not known. On this
point there is also a good deal of
speculation.

he did not care to discuss. as that
was Mr.. Mungerson' business. Mr..
Mungerson was absent from the city
up to last evening on his ranch and
no certain affirmation or denial of
the story could therefore be secured.
The rumor which is given general
credence is to the egect that Mr..
" ungerson and associates have ac-
quired the holdings of Stemper for
the purpose of building large pack
ing plant which will act as dis
trihuting center for the entire coun-
" and the eastern portion of Ne
vada. With the coming of the Ely
Tonopah line. the Phoebe line and
others now under discussion new
towns will undoubtedly spring up
through all the tributary districts
which would make the scheme one
well worth considering
Every reasonable expectation too
is that the immediate district in
which the packing plant would be To-
Gated will be inhabited in the natural
course of development of the huge
deposits of ore of Cumberland Ely
and Nevada Consolidated, as well as
the smaller companies of the Robin
son district, with the great Steptoe
Smelling plant adding its quota of
men. by $4,000 people in five years
from now. These and other reasons
argue with force for the truth of the
report.
Mr.. Stemper refused to name the
figuring in the deal. It
is reported, however, to have been
a considerable one.

Neither Badly Hurt


Thrown from wagon when three
cords Of wood slipped from it, Al
bert r. Brown sustained two broken
ribs and slight abrasions yesterday,
his injuries being due to the pass
ing over his body of the wheels of
the wagon. The mans escape from
serious If not fatal injuries is con
sidered remarkable.
This accident was attended by an
other to Browns son. John, aged 20,

the rope which held the wood and
dragged some distance by the fright
ened team before he could release
himself His injuries consist only Of
few minor bruises The horses ran
for almost two miles, wrecking the
wagon and scattering the wood along
the road.
Mr.. Brown and his son hod been
on hillside gathering wood, about
five miles up Murry canyon, and after
loading up heavily started back to
Ely. After driving for about a mile
a steep down grade was encountered.
1t was on this grade that the trouble
occurred. Either the wood had been
Improperly loaded or the rope gave
way. Suddenly the load commenced
to shift and the two men who hAA
been sitting on top of 1t were thrown
to the ground. Mr. Brown fell i'm

wagon which with its tons of weight
passed directly over his chest. break

A thorough examination failed to re-

The team after running with the
jolting wagon behind them for near
ly two miles down a steep mountain
road, were halted. It is an extremely
fortunate thing that no teams going
in the opposite direction were en-
countered by the frightened animals,

Among taase who took a position

that such a provision as that desired

are now guaranteed by law, and con-

to Get Construction

Earnest effort to secure a railroad
to the Nevada United property at
Ward mountain has been started.
Following up steps that have been
taken, assay maps of the mine and
its ores Will shortly be submitted by
Superintendent Gates to the Nevada
Northern and the Steptoe Smelling
Co. In the opinion of Mr.. Gates the
ore of Nevada United Is so attractive
in quality and quantity that it Will
appeal to the smelter officials as de-
sirable
I'VE are hard at work on the as
say maps to be sent to the railway
and smelter officials and expect to
have them complete and in the hands
of the people We wish TO reach within
ID days" said Mr.. Gates to a News
representative last evening. 1T is
a laborious undertaking and In spite
of all we can do will take that length
of time to complete.
I'VE have very large bodies of low
grade smelling ore carrying lead, sill
yer and gold and an average of 30
per cent excess iron. The latter
quality makes 1t especially desirable
for smelling purposes. 1t is our in
tention In asking that road be
built to seek either a branch from
the smelter direct or one from the
Ely Tonopah road when 1t is built. :"
Beside the regular work of devel-
opment, the ore bodies at the Nevada
United property are being blocked
out In preparation for production.
An increase of force from rs to 35
men will be made at once. To take
on additional miners was the mis-
sion which brought Mr.. Gates to the
city yesterday He will return to
the mine today.

Cost of Making Milk.

A Canadian milk producer figures
the cost of production as follows:
Taking fifteen cows as a unit that
one man is capable of taking care of,
as well as the product therefrom,
and assuming that the man is worth
$3.50 day, we must charge up
ten cents day against each cow for
labor. Assuming that each COW
averages five thousand pounds of
milk year, which is about six
quarts a day, such COW should re-
ceive one pound of grain for each
three pounds of milk she gives. which
would be about five pounds of grain
day. The cost of the grain would
be six and one-quarter cents day.
Adding to this the cost before men
toned of producing specially
pure, clean milk, we have total of
at least seven cents quart, as the
cost of its production on the farm.
To this should be added the cost of
shipping to the city, which is an
additional burden to the farmer

The rye chaff would contain in ton
something like fifteen pounds of nj

phosphoric acid, with perhaps
seven or eight pounds Of potash.
When decayed, the phosphoric acid
and potash will be there, while part
of the nitrogen will have disappeared

If not dangerous, feed for cows, be-
cause of the probable presence of
ergot, poison to all kinds of live
stock. There would also be no small
danger from these weed seeds. Cru
ciferous plants produce seeds which
are tnduly hardy and can withstand
hardships. 1t is true that the neigh
bors have not reported introduction
of radish by reason of the chaff, but
there is still danger. If the chaff is
bought, it ought to be we'll rotted be-

Gapes in Chickens.

What is true of all disease is true
of gapes. 1t is better to prevent it
II possible, and then there will be no
need to cure it. When the cause of
gapes is known, and also the means
by which it is likely to be spread, it
becomes easy to take measures for
prevention. The most important
measure of all is to keep the houses,
yards, troughs and everything con-
nected with the poultry yard strictly
clean. 1t is probable that the drink
ing water is the medium through
which the gapeworm most often
comes, and, therefore. the greatest
care must be taken to keep the foun-
tains clean, when conditions are
specially favorable to the propagation
of the gapeworm.

and fresh. 1t is strongly advised

Tattcning Hogs,

In the experience gained at the
Missouri Experiment Station Pro-
fessor Forbes says that corn supple
mented with wheat middlings and
oil meal makes the best and cheapest
ration for fattening hogs. He says:
'For dry lot or pen feeding of hogs
the cheapest feed is corn supplement-
ed by wheat middlings or oil meal.
At the Missouri station we have
made 100 pounds of pork from five
parts of thirty-cent corn and one
part of $24 oil meal at a cost of
S2.75 per hundred weight. At the
same time we made 100 pounds of
pork from two parts of corn and one
part of SIS wheat middlings at a
cost of sass. In the same expert
ment corn alone made pork at cost
of $500 per hundred weight"
When pasture can be. provided,
pork can be made the most economic
ally on it. The same authority above
mentioned writes: Experiments at
the Missouri Experimental College
show that with corn at thirty cents
per bushel, it costs $2.79 to make
one hundred pounds of pork where
blue grass is fed with the corn, with
rape and corn the cost is $3.50 per
hundred weight, and with alfalfa and
corn the cost of 100 pounds of pork
is but S2.13."

Stag and Saltpetre.

The cheapest way to supply lime
to the soil is to use basic Stag as a
source OF phosphoric acid for the fer
tilizers. Stag carries from thirty to
fifty per cent. of lime, and the value
of the phosphoric acid it carries will
cover its whole cost.
In regard to nitrate of potash (salt-
petre) which cost me about $50 per
ton, $3.50 per hundred pounds, the
exceeding richness of the chemical
makes 1t tho cheapest source for pot
ash and nitrogen that | know. Each
one hundred pounds carries forty
four pounds of potash, in which form
it cost me this season, delivered,
about $40 cents per round This
forty-four pounds at $50 cents comes
to $2.2S, which taken from S4.5U
leaves S2.22 for the value of the four
teen pounds of nitro sen contained
in one hundred pounds of nitrate of
potash, or 10 CT cents per pound
for the nitrogen which Professor
Goessman assured me is equally valu-
able with the nitrogen derived from
nitrate of soda which costs me de-
livered this season $5S per ton, or
$500 per one hundred pounds; one
hundred pounds of nitrate of soda
contains about fifteen and one-half
pounds of nitrogen, making the cost
of one pound of nitrogen in nitrate
of soda sulphate of potash-Monro
