TO ERECT
NEW STORE BUILDING
business Houses of District VIII soon
Need More Room and Larger
Stocks, Says Salt Lake Man.

That another large department
store will shortly be added to the
district is the promise held out by
George c. Moore, of Salt Lake, who
left yesterday for his home, after
spending a snort time here looking
after his interests in the American
Trading Co. S stores in Ely, McGli
and at other points in the district.
I'VE are crowded for display space
for our goods in the stores we now
have" said Mr.. Moore, land it is
our intention as soon as possible to
secure ground and start building.
We already have a deal on for
ground which | expect to close soon.
The building will cover three or four
lots and will be of substantial con-
struction. either brick or cement
blocks being the material. 1t will be
only one story in height at first, but
will be so constructed that other
stories can be added"
Mr.. Moore stated that in his opin-
ion business will so greatly improve
in this district shortly that new
buildings and heavier stocks will be
imperatively needed.

GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
TO GET BOND
Justice Gives Woman Chance Rather
Than Commit to Nileness
Of County Jail.

On account of the existing condi-
tions at the county Jail, the bail bond
of Lulu Dickenson, charged with as
sault with deadly weapon upon
Harry Jackson about fortnight ago,
was yesterday placed at $500 In Or
der that she might be given oppor-
tunity of giving bond.
In fixing the bond, Justice Cart
wright stated his reason, saying that
the Jail in its present crowded con-
dition was no place for the woman.
There is no separate woman's de-
partment, while the place is vile in
its filth.
There was apparently disposition
on the part of Jackson, who was the
paramour of the woman, jealousy
leading to the shooting, to avoid
prosecuting the, case, but this was
not allowed by the court.

Alexander at his properties in the
Troy district.
Mr.. Alexander, who is in town on
business, yesterday received from
Millard & Son assay returns on sew
eral samples he had brought in with
him. While the high average named
was not sustained in several of the
samples. which in most cases were
taken from the surface of adjoining
claims, Mr.. Alexander is greatly
gratified with the results secured
The report, which was for gold and
silver values, in the two highest sam

ounces silver to the ton from the

gold and $40 silver for the $3.50

The general formation of the coun-
try in which the property is located

composed dyorite. Several surface

Gets Its
Ore In Tunnel
BeIOWShaft

The permanence of the Blaine mine
ore body has been assured by entry
at depth OF approximately $50 feet
from the surface to the ledge which
is being worked in the 800 foot
shaft The lower strike was made in
an 500 foot tunnel. where the ore
has every appearance of higher val
ues than in the shaft material. The
information was received yesterday
from Superintendent ID. Clark in a
letter directed to the Ely stockhold-
ers of the concern.
The ledge bears every indication
of being well defined. although 1t
had only been broken into when the
letter was written and seems to main
tain the average width of three or
four feet which has been had in the
shaft In the shaft the ore. largely
free. averages $25 10 the ton and is
an excellent milling proposition.
There is now plan on foot, Ii is
understood. to place a mill on the
property but this will not be decided
upon at once, as the visit of Lieu
tenant Governor Dickerson, Key Pitt
man and party of mining men from
Tonopah aud other western Nevada
points is awaited before decision is
reached The party is expected to
arrive within the next few days
The Blaine is owned by a few local
men who have prosecuted the work
on the property quietly for several
years. Their perseverance now APP
pears certain of liberal reward. The
strike they have Just made is con-
sidered important in both its bearing
on the Blaine and the Granite dis
triot generally, to which il gives
much more substantial look than
previously prevailed. Nearly all OF
the property In the new district is
owned by local people. That outside
capital will enter largely into the
development of the new field is the
general belief. after the Pittman par
ty has thoroughly investigated the
district and its mines. Mr.. Pittman
during his visit here in March ac-
quired holdings in the district.

A confused heap of charred wood,
bricks and twisted girders is piled
up between the bare walls of the

The fire was discovered in the ele-

He dashed to the upper floors, alarm

which had spread with appalling
rapidity, drove him back. His eff
