MR.. GUNN MUCH
PLEASED WITH
The SITUATION
MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN
NOW WITH REGARD TO CAMP
LONG PERIOD OF CONSTRUC-
TION ASSUREDLY AHEAD.

Geoge L. Gum leaves this morning
for Salt Lake, following several days
spent in looking over his extensive
interests here AS a result of this
inspection, he said last night that he
was highly pleased with progress be-
ing made in the camp, at mines. re-
duction works and In a general way.
Il have always been an optimist
with reference to the Ely district and
never more so than right now Ev-
erything looks good here and is
coming along splendidly. Gain is
constantly being made and | do not
believe 1t is possible at this time to
fix limit for the development and
growth of the camp. We are only
at the beginning.
Regarding increase at Smelter,
am not directly informed as to just
what plans in this respect may be.
| do know that from my knowledge
of the mineral resources of the dis
trict | believe they will find ii nee
essary to steadily increase the capac-
ity of reduction works in order to get
all that there Is TO be had in large
benefits from maximum production
| expect that they will still be build
ing at Smelter five years from date
"Of doubt as to big city building
up here and of large mining, smelt-
ing, railroad and commercial center
being made, | have not the slightest
in mind. THESE things sometimes
appear to be working out slowly, but
ii takes time to grow. | think splen-
did results have been attained for
the time that has been employed here
and in view of the hard times of
winter and spring throughout the
country it does not seem to me that
there is the slightest room for COM
plant as to local conditions. If any
thing there is ground for congratu-
lations on what was escaped. Things
are now in excellent shape for much
more rapid headway along the lines
of large and permanent growth"

FOUND IN SALT LAkE.

Lover Located by Formers
Relatives.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 12.-Finding
her affinity in barber, Mrs. Robert
Davis. wife of a wealthy and infiu-
ential business man of Berkeley, Cal.
sold her millinery shop there for
$4,000 and eloped to Salt Lake with
her lover.
They arrived here Thursday and
went to the Wilson hotel, registering
as Mr. and Mrs. Phea Evans, which is
believed to be the mans right name.
Evans obtained work as barber in
Whites tonsorial parlors on Second
South street and Saturday they OBJ
tanned apartments at 62S South Main
street and went there.
Monday morning the womans S
mother. Mrs. Jane Wooley, and
brother, Sergeant of Police Wooley
of Berkeley. tracked the pair to Salt
Lake and found the woman at the
rooms. Detective Fred M. Schulze
accompanied the brother to the rooms
and placed her under arrest After
fearful scene she told where her
lover could be found. and he was
picked up and taken to the police sta
tion with her.
There more tears were shed when
the mother and wayward daughter
met and the erring woman. after a
short time, agreed to give up her
barber lover and return to her hus-
hand at Berkeley, as he is willing to
forgive, II not forget, and the aged
mother, daughter and son left at
11:45 over the Oregon Short Line

tives refused to prosecute Evans, and
he was not detained.

that the government will allow villa

that he is morally unfit to undertake
the duties and responsibilities of a

The American residents and others
of the foreign population of Manila

that the election of Villa and Dickno

He Was Careless I'm Not keeping a
Lantern Burning.

Attorney General Jackson OF New
York was criticising in Albany GER
tain excuse that had been offered
him.
1T was a slim excuse" he said.
1T reminds me of the excuse of the
lightning rod agent.
In the days when all the world

two costly ones put upon new barn
Bat only a week or two later there
came a violent thunder storm, the
barn was struck. and in a few hours

Next day the farmer sought out
the lightning rod agent.

" Were the lanterns burning?'
:" What lanterns?'
THE agent looked amazed, inere-
dulous.
" Why, he said. you don't mean
to tell me that you didn't run up
lanterns on the rods on dark nights?'

shouted the farmer. Run up! Why

The Length of Eternity.

Mrs. c. w. McCulloch of Chicago,
on taking up her Office of justice of
the peace, told a Chicago reporter
that in the performance of marriage
ceremonies she proposed to omit the
word obey"
Ia these enlightened days" said
Mrs McCulloch, the word obey has
lost its meaning in the marriage con-
tract. The best wife does not pro-
pose to obey her husband any more
than the best husband proposes to
obey his wife. Obedience is for
dogs, horses creatures without rea-
son.
So | think we should drop this
meaningless word. For It is mean
ingless. AS meaningless as a GER
tain other word was to a certain
boorish husband.
The husband had been particu-
larly nasty one rainy Sunday at
at home, and his wife finally began to
cry.
Eight years ago. she sobbed.
you swore eternal love. and now
oh, growled the man. how long
dc you expect eternal love to last,
anyway"
