embarrassing situation, as it was pos
sible that King might have still
taken him for the man he had bunk
ed with for two years. King took
one long look. Mr.. Reeves states, and
then declared that he had committed
blunder. as this was not the man
he wished to sue.
1t was agreed that the name of
William A. Douglas, so far as this
man is concerned, should be stricken
from the case, as should the name of
his company. the Douglas Ely Mines
company. The suit against ]. B.,

Mr.. Douglas in making a state

the man who has adopted his name.
He has been several times dunned

and otherwise annoyed.
The case in question was fully pre-

changed his name to avoid carrying

GirOux Issue OF
Bonds is the
Report

Although no accurate Information
could be obtained yesterday as to
action of the Giroux stockholders
meeting on Tuesday in New York
both local and eastern markets we're
yesterday filled with various rumors
concerning future plans for the COM
pany, said to have been decided upon
at the gathering.
The rumor given greatest local
credenee has To do with a bond issue
of 81 100000, to provide funds for
future work upon their properties
and to carry the company through
until a paying basis is reached. This
will enable work to be pushed along
larger lines than heretofore and
would carry them well on until pro-
duetion could he started from ore
bodies in their workings.
The debts of the company we're
found not TO be as large as antici-
pated, 1t is rumored, and money to
cover all is in the treasury of the
company
Both the rumors stated above are
strongly believed locally. II is stated
that no authentic information will
be given ont by the company for sew
eral days. until every dissention is
finally settled.

THE WESTERN
PACIFIC IS
ON ALERT
Greatness Of
Camp and is Coming
for Share of Business

H. NJ. Gushing, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Rio Grande system.
was in the city yesterday with good
news, bringing announcement that
some time during the spring
through train would be put on be-
tween Salt Lake and this city over
the Western Pacific and the Nevada
~ bern. The object of his visit to
imp was to ascertain industrial
sAsll.z.tions and form idea as to about
the time the proposed new train
would find business in the. local field
sufficient to justify its operation.
Conclusion he reached was that this
would be some time in April or May,
when the mines will be turning out
ore and large numbers of men be
employed in operating and construct
ing divisions at the reduction plants
of Cumberland Ely and Nevada Con-
solidated at McGill.
Mr. Cushing stated yesterday that
the train which will be put on will
be straight passenger and that it
will be one of the finest in its ap-
pointments operating on a run of
similar length in the west. II will be
run jointly by the Nevada Northern
and the Western Pacific. if arrange
ments as at present contemplated are
carried out. Leaving time viii he, IN
the evening, arrival being made in
Salt Lake in the morning. The train
will leave Salt Lake in the morning,
arriving here in the evening. Ser
vice will be daily each way. The
camp with the putting on of this
train will consequently have two
daily trains out and in. one leaving
in the morning and one in the even
ing, and one arriving in the morn
ing and the other in the evening.
Mr.. Cushing leaves this morning
for the west. He is the Oldest pas
senger man in Nevaca territory in
point of years in service and is pos
sessed of wide knowledge as to con-
ditions past and present as affecting
general industry, beside all of
which he enjoys deserved popularity
wherever known. In the passenger
traffic getting business he leads the
procession. Regarding the outlook
at present. Mr.. Cushing said that he
was finding encouraging revival of
business and large confidence in the
future. He believes the year will
bring about big things in this dis
trict and throughout Nevada in the
way of activity, growth and develop
ment of new resources of income and
wealth.
The Western Pacific, Mr.. Gushing
considers, will be of great advantage
to this camp in variety or ways.
OF the camp he said yesterday that
1t enjoyed high standing on the out
side aud that it was referred to ev-
erywhere as an established. solid in
dustrial locality from which steadily
growing returns could only be ex-
pected. AS to the Western Pacific,

EAGLES HAVE FINE
TIME AT BIG DANCE
Special Train Brings Crowd From
McGilI-Occasion Most Pleas
urable.

An occasion of note was the dance
given by the Eagles at the skating
rink last night. One of the largest
crowds of the season turned out to
participate and an enjoyable time for
all was had.
The moving pictures were excel
lent, while the singing of Mrs. Spang-
Ter proved one of the leading feat
ures of the entertainment. The dec
orations struck all who attended as
being among the most appropriate
as well as most attractive ever seen
in Ely.
The crowd from Ely and Ely City
was largely augmented by attendants
from McGill who came in on spe-
cial train. The music was first class,
the punch was a delight and as hosts
he members of the order proved
themselves capable of bearing out the
high reputation they hold along these
lines.
Financially the event was entirely
successful, although last night no
statement of the amount made over
expenses had been prepared.

IS MISTAKEN
IN man HE
SUED
Singular Outome to Ac-
ton Brought for Big
Damages and Ground

As queer a case of mistaken iden-
tity as ever came up in a mining dis
trict appears TO be that which led to
filing of suit against William A.
Douglas and others Wednesday aft
ernoon for interest in several prop
critics held by Douglas and associates
in this county and for $4,000 dam
ages.
When confronted by w. A. Doug
las yesterday, Frank King. the plaint-
iff, declared tahJ he had been mis-
led entirely and that the man he
had sued and his recreant partner
were not one and the same. This
was the statement made yesterday by
C. r. Reeves, the attorney who
brought the action for King against
Mr.. Douglas.
1t seems that there is marked
resemblance between the two Doug
lases, both being of stout proper
tions. weighing in the neighborhood
of 200 pounds and having somewhat
the same cast of features On this
account William A. Douglas. when

Cutting ARRAY May
Prove Fatal

Morris Gensen, proprietor of a
Inch wagon at Smeltervilie, was cut
and possibly fatally hurt at an early
hourt yesterday morning on the
street in front of his place by one of
two unknown men. The difficulty
arose. 1t Is stated, from quarrel
over serving lunches to the two. Gem
sen refusing to sell them anything.
The affair seems to be shrouded in
mystery, so far as the identity of
the two men is concerned. While
the cutting occurred about 4 a. M,
a physician was not summoned until
8 in the morning, when DR.. Brock
was called in The officers were not
notified until nearly noon.
From what can be learned the af-
fair grew out of drunken row. The
two men came into Gensen's place
of business, according to his state
ment, and asked for something to
eat. Either they had no money or
for some other reason Gensen did not
see fit to serve them and they went
out cursing him. In a moment they
began throwing stones against the
side of the wagon and the propri-
etor ran out to stop them.
The men did not leave but stayed
to see the affair through, and fist
fight was started, Gensen finally be-
ing cut in the left side, shortly be-
low the heart. that organ evidently
having been aimed at by his assail-
ant. Luckily the blade of the knife
struck a rib and was detected in its
course. No one saw the affair so
far as can be ascertained, except the
principals in IL.
As described by DR.. Brock the
mans wound is dangerous. although
not necessarily fatal. The knife

wound in the cans side, cut. but did
not punctnre, his left lung. Bleeding

SEWER BUILDING PLANS TO BE URGED
Steps have been undertaken in earnest to bring

AS soon as figures can be Sc .ured
from several cities which have been
communicated with on the subject
of sewer building the officials of Ely
will take up, with the Ely Townsite
company, plan to have both Fly
and Ely City join in building a sys-

necessary that Ely have sewer sys-
ten in order that 1t may be protect
ed from disease which would other

mines and smelling plants with full
forces and effort will be made by
the city officials to secure the co-op-
GRAFTON of Ely City in building the

shall hear from the people we have
asked for the probable cost of a sys-

ACTION PUTS
COMPANY IN
fine SHAPE
Means CrOwdine Ahead
Without Let Up-MilliOn
and a Half Available

Increase of the capitalization of
Nevada Consolidated from $4,000
600 to $4,000 900 was what was au-
thorized yesterday by unanimous
vote of stockholders, as told above.
This increase in capitalization makes
way for the issuance of bonds which
will give to the company S1,5OO,00O
TO place In its treasury for the con-
duct of work remaining TO be done
in carrying its share of construction
of the concentrator and smelter at
McGil TO completion, on the larger
scale and with greater capacity than
originally planned.
The million and half dollars ae-
quired will be ample for all needs
of the company to the time that 1t
enters upon dividend payments,
which will not be long after IL gets
its ore going into the reduction
plants owned jointly with cnmber-
land Ely. The amount viii beyond
all question carry the company until
that time, with safe margin obtain
Ing In the meanwhile.
As announced at the time the new
financing scheme was first broached.
the bonds which are to be issued Will
be convertible to stock OF the COM
pany. The figure that viii prevail
for conversion is understood TO be
$40. but this is yet not positively
known. Wires to the east yesterday
were in very bad order and only mea-
ger service was afforded. However,
the bond issue has already been over
subscribed and the money that IL viii
furnish is practically already in hand.
The latter fact removes any possible
question as to the future course of
Nevada Consolidated with regard TO

the construction of concentration and

tion Just as soon as the reduction

COPPER IS SOLD
into SPRING
MONTHS

A Bisbee dispatch says: DR.. Jas.
Douglas, head of the Phelps Dodge
properties, is here. Asked as to the
present demand for copper and the
probability of a better price in the
future he said: There is healthy
demand for copper in Europe and |
judge that the estimated surplus of
200,000,000 pounds in October has
receded now to less than 10000, 600
pounds. Three quarters of surplus
on October 1st has been disposed of
and that at a time when copper re-
ceipts at the eastern refneries from
the mines were practically normal
The result of the curtailment policy
in copper production, which was in
augurated four months ago, when the
demand suddenly fell away, was not
felt In New York before January.
The Copper Queen sold all its sur
plus late in the fall and is now SELL
ing for delivery in the spring We
are carrying no surplus at this time.
Copper is now selling at IA and lax
cents for spring delivery. while the
metal is selling for less for immedi-
ate delivery, and this would indicate
quite clearly that the consumers are
anticipating an advance in price in
the near future. This opinion, |
think, is fully warranted by the short
supply which will be coming from
the mines as result of a curtail-
ment of the production during the
last three months and which curtail-
ment must continue until three
months after all the conner reduc-
tion works are back to the maximum

Richmond Hall.

Richmond Hall, the gift of the Presby-
terians of Richmond to the Centennial
Fund of Union Seminary, is rapidly near
ing completion, and will soon be ready for
occupancy. 1t is one of the most imposing
buildings on the campus and is valuable
addition to cur plant.
On the first floor will be the office recep-
ton room, dining room and kitchen, and
the second and third floors will be used
as dormitories. Six of the best of these
rooms will be reserved for the use of the
alumni whenever they may visit the Semi
nary.
There will be forty-two bedrooms to be
furnished, besides parlor and an Office
and we invite the friends of the institu-
ton to furnish these rooms as memorials
to those whose memory they desire to
honor and perpetuate. A plate will be
placed on the door of each room thus fur
nished, stating in whose memory it is fur
nished and by whom.
This offers a particularly attractive
means of doing honor to those whose
memory we love, in that it not only
stands as an enduring tribute of love, but
also as it enters into the great work of
training young men for the ministry, it
is rendering constant service to the cause
OF Christ.
Any person who would like to furnish
room is invited to correspond with Rev.
R. F. Kirkpatrick, Union Theological
Seminary, Richmond, Va, who will fur
nish information as to cost and any other
details that may be of interest.
