picking question In the minds of the
commissioners.
The appointment of a sheriff to
take the place OF Mr.. House, 1t was
tacitly understood during the last
two days of the meeting. would be
allowed TO lay over until February.
\ plan has been advanced by

IMPORTANT COMMITTEE
WILL BE A MEMBER SHY
Humboldt County Is Short Member
of the Legislature Because of
Resignation.

WINNEMUCCA, Jan. "a very
important item regarding the recent
call of Governor Sparks for special
convening of the legislature was for
gotten in Humboldt county. The
leaders in both parties began to
count their strength in both houses,
when it was discovered that the coun-
ty will be one member short in the
assembly, this being caused by the
resignation of Assemblyman Davey
from this county several months ago
As the absent member was one OF
the committee on military and Indian
affairs of the assembly, to which all
matters regarding the retention OF
troops in Goldfeld will be referred
to before being acted upon by the
lower house. Humboldt county will,
to certain extent. lose some of the
prestige due it by the negligence of
those in power not seeing this va
cancy filled at the time it took place.
More important than this is the pos
sible bearing that the absence of the
member from the committee may
have on its deliberations.

RECOVERY

General Situation Seems
To Be Highly En-

LOCAL ISSUES STRONG
Market Letters Give Cumberland
Ely Best OF It...Nevada Con.
NewFinancine SchemeReported

The coryers were strong yester-
day. 1t was the best day in respect
to general advance and firm under
pinning supporting the movement
that has been had since the begin
ming of the dark days which ushered
in the slump.
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Con-
solidated made neck and neck ad-
vance. Aiding the Nevada Consoli-
dated has been a rumor current dur
ing the last several days in the east
that arrangements have been made
for the addition of a considerable
sum to its treasury account, through
new financing scheme that is said
to have been determined uyin.
Cumberland Ely is going up on the
strength of its exceedingly satisfac
tory general situation, both with ref
erence to the surplus it has on hand
in its treasury and with regard to the
excellent condition of affairs prevail
ing in its mines and in its smelter re-
lations. In his weekly market letter
George Walker says the stock has
shown relatively more strength than
has Nevada Consolidated and gives it
as his opinion that it will reach an
equality in price with that of Nevada
Consolidated at no distant date.
Like view has been taken in other
market letters in the east during the
week. Cumberland Ely is looking
mighty good to all of them.
Giroux is holding to the advance
which It entered upon last week and
1t looks as if the stock might travel
with the rest of the list on the up
grade. However, the buyer must
keep in mind the situation at the
cayed shaft in making calculations on
this stock. Newhouse is coming
along steadily and bids fair to keep
up the gait 1t Is understood that
this property will shortly be well M
der way again and that things at the
mine are in very satisfactory shape.
Copper scored a slight gain yes
terday and is that much nearer the
IA cent mark. 1t was stronger in
both New York and London markets.
From the tone of talk from the east
it looks as if the producers will pret-
ty generally get under way again
when the metal touches ] 4 in man
ner to indicate that il will stay at or
above that figure. Very few have
relish for production at a figure un-
der IA cents but the most of them
seem to have arrived at conclusion
that they can do business anywhere
above that figure. Silver was not so

sIyTEEN FREIGHT CREWS
HAVE BEEN PULLED OFF
southern Pacific Makes Reduction of
Crews In the State.

WINNEMUGcA, Jan 9.-Within
the last week l6 freight crews have
been pulled off nn that part of the
salt Lake division between Sparks
and carlin. II Is expected in rail
road circles that the end OF the re-
duciion In the working force Is not
-1et In sight and that several more
tSeight crews Will be taken off this
cause for the reduction is that
freight traffic has dropped off to a
great extent. as is the case on all
railroads as soon as the holiday sea
son Is over. Passenger travel has
also largely decreased on the South
ern Pacific, although none of the pas
senger trains have been taken oil
and are not likely TO be this winter
II Is radically different with freight
train service and when through OF
local traffic lightens mp TO any ap-
preciable extent freight trains arc
pulled off without hesitation by the
operating department. As a result
of this policy a large number oi
crews have been given a temporary
vacation on the Salt Lake division
In these cases the old men are nat
urally given the preference and al
lowed TO make about the average
mileage, while the younger men on
the road have to take the brunt ol
idleness during the dull season.
However, this light traffic onls
lasts for few weeks at most and
within 60 and possibly so days all oi
: the regular crews Will be running
again, and as spring and summer ad
yances again increasing business viii
give them all a surfeit of regular ant
extra duty.
