NOT RAWH|DE
DIET SAYS
ELY Man
Former EIyite Writes Let
ter Warning Working
men From New Camp

To cap the climax of reports OF
distress among the men who heed
lessly rushed to Rawhide to take ad-
vantage of the first flush of that
camps property, came letter ad-
dressed to Peter Weiss of Ely, bet
ter known as Dutch Pcte," in which
the writer, 81 Malloy, roasts the new
camp to a turn. The letter follows:
Dutch Pete.
Dear Dutch:-Let EN- all come
TO Fallon, that's where the boom is,
and the business, too. You can eat
at Fallon and you can't at The Hide.
Tell those fellows over there that you
the worst punishment that can be
meted out to man.
IF | ever get back to Ely I'll
break somebody's neck for the meals
skipped over here. There's all
kinds of snow over here, Pete, but a
hungry man can not eat snowballs
here like you can in Ely. The snow
is dirtier over here. The bunch from
Ely is doing pretty good. Most
them are sleeping to keep from eat
ing.
III you don't see the hungriest,
gloomiest and most detected lot of
men come back to Ely in Is days,
then you can say that your friend
81 was full of coke, or bay rum when
he wrote.
Stop the flow, Pete, and posterity
will proclaim to the world that "Old
g.x. H. t..
sane In Nevada than George Wash
ington did for America. Believe me,
Pete. Your old friend. 81"
In addition to this other letters
have been received here telling of
distress among the horde of men
gathered in the new camp. People
are sleeping on the ground, enough
to eat is a rarity. This is among the
laboring class depending solely upon
their Drawn and experience in min
ing to carry them through
AS result of these reports many
who have been contemplating going
to the new camp, have determined
that for the present IL would be best
to defer their visit until later in the
year.

they are, the rush should be stopped,
beyond all doubt. The easiest way
to do this is by publication of let
ters knocking" as well as those
boosting" the new camp.
The general opinion here, gradu-
ally growing stronger. is that how
ever good showing may have been
obtained in Rawhide, there cannot on
the face of things be enough work
for the hordes pouring in and some
must suffer

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-Cable-
grams from London and st. Peters

newspapers on the Balkan situation

to her announced policies regarding
these matters, were called to the at

TRIED TO SAVE HIS MONEY.
Franz Panley, Aged II, Burned to
Death In Fire Which Destroyed
His FATHERS House.

EvANS1 oN. Wyo., Feb. 17.-The
ranch house of Julius Panley on Mill

city, was destroyed by fire about 2
o'clock Wednesday morning. Franz

and a neighbor, John Freda, with a
boy named Wessler, who were stop
ping at the house, escaped in their
night clothes and barefooted in the
snow made their way to the ranch of
Emil Panley, brother of julius, one
mile away. When the fire was dis
covered 1t had gained such headway
that the occupants had barely time
to escape with their lives. Young
Franz hesitated for brief moment
to secure his clothes, which contained
quite a sum of money. That mo-
ment cost his life. Those outside
saw him reel and fall where it was
impossible to reach him.

THE new YORK
BOND ISSUE
TAKEN UP
Largest Offering Ever
Made Public Soon
Is Subscribed.

NEW YORK, Feb 17.-The most
important event of last week in the
financial world was the sale of $780,
100000 of New York City Az per
cent bonds, the largest single Offer
ing in the history of the municipal
ity. The 100 individual bidders far
outnumber the previous record of
ss6 for last September's 100000
900 sale, and the gross bids reached
the enormous total of 100000, 900,
or an over subscription six times the
amount of the issue. The average
price, realized at 104, compares with
1O6.603 for the September ISSUE
Thus the new issue is on a basis of
investment return to the subscribers
of 4.32 per cent, compared with 439
per cent for the September subscrip-
tions. The outcome is regarded as
a solid testimony to improving finan-
cial health and a substantial i'm
provement in the demand of capital
for investment and replenishment in
the available supply of capital. Bond
dealers as a rule express great salts
faction with the result and look for
material benefit 10 the investment
market
The securities market gave clear
evidence of the waiting attitude as
sumed by the substantial capital in
terests of the country pending the
more definite shaping of industrial
and business affairs. Operations
were manifestly in provisional hands
to large extent, and the shifting
down of prices represented little
Ia 80 -
the contest being waged between
them.
The question of the integrity of
dividends in face of heavy falling OF
in traffic and earnings of the rail-
roads naturally played considera-
BILE part in the weakness. Imminent
needs of financing to meet maturing
requirements was another cause
which bore heaviest on securities on
which these needs we're known to be
most urgent.
This cause was aggravated by the
subsistence of the investment for
bonds, in spite of the continued ease
in the money market proper. The
downward course of money rates, in
fact, suffered some unrest, especially
in foreign marke-s where the pay
ment of Bank of England Obligations
to the Bank CT France was an in
fiuence with reactionary effect on
British consults and gilt edged in
vestment issues.
News of factory resumption on a
considerable scale has been feature
of the day to day developments,
mixed, however with advices of ad
ditional curtailment in other lines.
Figures of bank clearings, while still
showing a large contraction from last
years corresponding periods, a"e be-
ginning to make a more favorable
comparison than the preceding re-
ports. The same is true of gross
earnings for the railroads for the lat
ter weeks reporting. The net re-
turns of rail- oads for December now
coming in reiiac. the depth of the de-
preston. and their influence has to
be contended with. Authorities in
the iron and steel trade speak with
some encouragement of an enlarge
ment of demand, and the placing of
some orders for steel rails by the
railroads was an episode of the week
that was regarded as favorable.

TREASURY Is

SHAPE
Small Indebtedness and
Surplus In All Funds
at Present.

Never in the history of White Pine
county could SO prosperous an era
be pointed out. so far as the county
treasury is concerned. With out
standing bonded Indebtedness of
$4,000 and in the neighborhood of
$4,000 floating debts; with money
enough In the interest fund to pay
the accumulated dues on this amount
for two years or more, and with taxes
reduced materially, the county has a
right to feel assured of the future.
In 1885 a bond issue was made,
$4,000 being the amount, intended
to take up the issue of 10 per cent

ury sinking fund They have been
advertised and when brought in by
the purchasers have been taken up.
The interest fund at present is in
the best shape that ii has been prob
ably since establishment. According g
to the showing of County Treasurer
Miles books an outstanding debt of
5000 is against the fund. that heing
the amount of money uncallec for
when the fund was drawn on for pay
ment last July. The balance at pres
ent shows s,.570.22, which will give
not alone the amount necessary for
paying this year but for at least two
years more, with the number of
bonds now outstanding remaining in
the hands OF purchasers. As several
of these will be taken UP In the
meantime and the whole issue he
paid on within two years, the status
OF this fund can he instantly rec

The commissioners, in view CT this

last year, TO 5 cents in 1908. IN for
