A proposition whereby T.. W.
Hulse, the broker, and W. I. Owen,
of the White Pine News are confident
that the match between Battling Mel.
son and Joe Cans for Labor Day can
be rcopened and brought to success

end of IL Is concerned, was present

In Ely at II o'clock last night from
made an appointment for this mern
ing with the two and if he agrees
to the proposition the entire purse
will he in the First National bank
of Ely within the week.
The scheme which was formulated
yesterday in the News Office by Hulsc
and Owen is to form IA stock COM
pany under the name of the Ely Ath-
Ietic association, the same To be in
corpOrated as soon as possible. Capt.
talization will be placed at 10000
shares of par value of s. each, every
detail TO be handled through the
First National bank.
The stock will be offered for sale,
every person buying it becoming a
member of the association and the
money received put on deposit with
the bank. Ont of the fund realized
from stock sales the pavilion can be
erected, the fighters quarters estab-
lished and every other detail be at
tended TO along with provision of the
purse. After the fight such portion
of the guarantee purse as is needed
can be paid over to fill any deficit not
covered by the gate receipts. All
other money will be returned to the
buyers of stock, according to the
amount purchased In event a sur
plus remains from the receipts of the
fight ii can be divided in the form OF
a dividend among the stockholders,
or held as a surplus for some future
purpose.
Before the plan was even well ul
foot Mr.. Sweeney, as the representa-
tive of the transformer of Ely, an
nounced to Hulse and owen that he
would guarantee that the transfer
men would buy 100 shares. The Ely
Townsite guarantee of $1,000 can be
depended upon as cash for stock.
The Northern hotel will come in for
So 600. as Manager Stevens looked
at the amount he was put down for
and said yes. The saloons of Ely
can be counted on for $1,000, as was
determined by a little soliciting done
by Hulse last evening. Businesses
have been segregated according to
the amount of benefit they will re-
ceive from the fight crowd and il

===PrObdble Candidates

sented before the nominating con-
ventions A. j Butler. Republican
and at present undersneriff of White
Pine county. will be among these.
Mr.. Butler made the race for the
office in 1906 and was defeated by A.
c. House by but small majority
He has since shown himself an able
officer W o Moorman, at present
city policeman in Ely, is another
Republican mentioned for the Office.
Mr.. Moorman has served as deputy
sheriff and in several other official
positions of trust, aequitting himself
in each with credit,
CLAY Baird, at present a Republi-
can assemblyman from White Pine,
is being much talked of for the Office
of sheriff He held that position with
credit to himself at previous time in
the county. Frank Neyin, the cattle
man and butcher, of Ely, is being
urged by his friends to make a try
| for the Democratic nomination. Mr.
Nevin Is both we'll known and popu-
lar in the county.
Mike Harrington, at present deputy
constable in this district, will probs-
bly try for the nomination before the
Democratic convention Harrington
has made good officer.
Considerable interest will center
around the office of district attorney
for which there are number of can
didates mentioned. G. A. McElroy
C. r. Reeves and G. F. Putnam will
all probably go before the Republican
! convention On the Democratic list
of aspirants are C. A. Eddy, present
incumbent of the office; Anthony
Zurich and C. j. McFadden.
For the office of recorder W. J
Stewart. one of the best known youns
men in White Pine county is men
toned among Republicans On tbs

Democratic side of the fence the only
name brought forward at present is
that of William Mcknight, present
incumbent of the office.
A H. CDel") Leahigh is men,
toned prominently for the Office of
county treasurer and would putt up
a good fight On the Democratic side
NJ. B. Garaghan is considered the
probable candidate.
The Office of county clerk will
probably be sought before the Re-
publican convention by d. NJ. Nc
Donald, at present chief deputy in
the office. Mr.. Mcdonald, while
young in years. has shown large ca
pacity and would doubtless make a
strong race if nominated. F. d. Old
field, formerly county clerk and also
deputy clerk for a term under ].
F. Miles, will probably make the
race for the Democratic nomination.
At present these are the only two
mentioned for this Office
For assessor the names of r. r.
Ives and D. W. Ellis are mentioned
by their friends for the Republican
nomination. Both are competent to
| fill the Office.
For constable of Ely district but
one name, that of W. C. Wilson, dem
ocrat, has been brought forward. Mr.
Wilson holds the office at present
No one has been mentioned foI
justice of the peace at Ely as yet
1t is probable that this Office will not
be as eagerly sought as formerly on
account of division of the districts
jurisdiction at the first of 1909.
The Republican state convention
which is expected to start the ball
rolling in earnest, has been called fol-
August 20. Primaries for the county
convention will be held August 30
while the county convention for the
selection of candidates is to be held
September Is.
AS yet no dates have been set for
the county primary nor for the con-
vention of the Democratic party in
White Pine. Chairman H. o. Hall is
at present absent from the city. A
call is expected to he issued upon his
return.

LOST HEIR HERE!
Inquiries Being Made for James Rod
ney Babbitt by New York
Attorneys.

Does anyone know James Rodney
Babbitt. formerly of New York. If
this fortunate gentleman can be
found, and he is supposed to be in
this district at present, there is a
large estate in New York city await
ing his disposal This is substance
of a ,letter received by District Al
torney C. A Eddy last evening from
a New York legal firm.
Babbitt was supposed to have come
to Ely during the boom days of last
year but since that time, the letter
states, track of his whereabouts has
been lost. Eddy will institute search
in the district for Babbitt in an en-
deabor to notify him of his good for
tune The amount of the estate,
while not named in the letter, is said
to be large.

sociation will visit each individual to
secure funds. There is safe $30,-
900 in sight for the conduct of the
fight in accordance with the original
articles of agreement signed in San
Francisco.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails
all over the district over the idea and
instead of disposition to avoid solici-
tors for funds, many have volunteer
ed, as soon as the scheme was ex-
planned, to take several hundred dol
lars worth of the stock. Ely dis
triet wants the fight and wants it
badly. Since the plain statement of
the situation made in the News yes
terday morning, which gave light
that the public had not previously
had, everyone is convinced that it IL
not too late to go after the event
and the desirability of Labor Day ai
the time is impressing all. At that
time not a wheel in the district will
tlrn, as the miners, smelter employees
and workers of all classes and grades
will enjoy a holiday. An immense
crowd can be drawn from the district
alone.
As soon as the plan is presented to
Mr.. Rickard today steps will be taken
to incorporate the association. pro-
vided he agrees to the plan. Immedi-
ately upon this having been accom-
plished the next step will be the sale
of stock, for which purpose able So
licitors, thoroughly eonyersant with
all of the details, can be put in the
field At the same time tickets will
be issued and agents to sell them
scattered all over the district, as well
as agencies be established at distant
points. Railroad rates will be ar
ranged for and with the right spirit
and push the thing can be pushed
| through with expedition.
The fact that it will mean a great
| deal to Ely is one which il is I'M
necessary to drum into residents.
Everyone is aware of this. Upon
assurance being given that the fight
is go at least six new buildings will
| be commenced and men from all over
the country, sportsmen and men
| looking for business locations, will
commence to stream in.
At once upon completion of the
plans the Ely stock exchange build
ing will be turned over to newspaper
correspondents and the representa-
tives of the Associated Press for their
Office. while other business men have
volunteered the use of space in their
Offices for the same purpose. 1t viii
/ be the object of the newspaper men
here not alone to boost the fight but
the district and its wonderful mines
and great reduction works. The
movement is we'll started now and
with the snap and vim which is cviac-
ed there is no doubt that if Rickerd
will arrange for the fighters s39.-
! 600 or $4,000 purse will be in the
bank vaults by the middle of the
/ week

Good crop reports, the advance of

in reports of moderate enlargement

ters, notably in the west and south
west. Industrial lines, too, have been
benefited by evidences of revival in
demand and the number of idle op-
eratives has been reduced as a whole.

conservative kind, curtailment of in

ness done by jobbers. Retail trade Is
fair as a whole. being stimulated by

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July 25.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade
says:
Industrial plants gradually enlarge
the percentage of active machinery,
furnishing more work for wage
earners, which stimulates retail
trade, while favorable crop progress
strengthens confidence in a continu-
ance of recovery in business. New
contracts for steel products are being
placed with more freedom, and col
lieries resume that were closed by the
drought.
Both Chicago packer and country
hides markets tend upward, cattle re-
ceipts showing a decrease. A further
advance of a full cent is noted in for
eign dry hides, which are scarce.
