fore 10 o'clock tonight at the court house
to receive instruction as to how to operate

A school OF instruction has been in ses-
sion for the last ten lays and a large ma

be given the opportunity. as the school will
be kept open until 10 o'clock tonight. At

ported, but Mr.. Ridgway holds this is not
complying with the law. as every member
should be able to work the machine and
understand its operation.
Voting machines have been distributed ia
all Of the voting precincts. One or two
will be kept in reserve to be used in the
remote possibility that some OF those now
in place go wrong on election day. Ghe

WEEPING WATER, Neb.. Nov. 9.-(spe-
cial)-The search Of the night for the
murderers Of c. A Ralston proved Of no
avail, but early Monday morning word was
received from John Sauter, living on the
outskirts of Papillion, in Sarpy county.
that two men had applied to him for work
and acted suspiciously.
This rumor was followed up by Weeping
Water authorities, who telephoned Sheriff
spearman of Sarpy county to go and get
the men and look them over. at least. The
sheriff replied that he would go at once,
and in the meantime the sheriff of Cass
county went to Lincoln to see Governor
Sheldon and ask for aid, then started from
Lincoln to Papillion.
Bloodhounds failed to find a trail, though
two packs were brought here, one from
Lincoln and the other from Piattsmouth,
and were put or the trail near the coal
chutes, where the shooting occurred.
Those who told as best they could the
direction in which the murderers OF Ralston
went after the shooting say the men fol-
owe the track west for only a few hun
dred yards and then took up through the
woods In a pasture owned by the late F..
M. Wolcott.
The woods in this ravine is heavy oak

they could reach a crossing Of the Platte
river during the night is a matter of mys-

There is a legal aspect to b. consid.
cred when contemplating a new tunnel
enterprise. A tunnel site may be
located for the purpose of driving an
adit across the strike Of the veins
known to occur In the mountain, and the
locator of the tunnel is entitled by law
to 1900 feet on each vein his tunnel
cuts that has not been previously found
on the surface. In some instances the
possibility of such discoveries appears
to have been the main incentive: in
others. the tunnel is driven after agree
ment with the owners of the mines In
line with the proposed adit-the object
being the more economical mining and

the mines. and very often both. The

The control of the big Tecopa lead
silver mines has finally passed into the
hands of prominent stockholders of the
Tonopah Mines company. says the Min
ing and Engineering Review.
At this time the exact price at which
control mas passed has not been given
out. but it is known to be in the neigh
borhood of 1000. 900 valuation for the
mine. A few shares over 100000 are
involved in the sale. and 1t is believed
that the holdings will be passed over to
the Tonopah Mining company as soon as
the legal requirements have been COM
piled with.
Eighteen months ago the Tecopa prop
erty was offered to the Tonopah Mining
company on q basis of 1900 600 for the
control. and xhaustiv examinations
made by engineers at that time bore out
the general impression Of the value Of
the mine. At that time. however. tine
roubles which finally resulted in the
ousting of ]. w. Brock from the man
agement of the Tonopah Mining COM
parry, were just starting. and the deal
was allowed TO fall through.
