SAW RoBBER By HIS BED.
Dunn Identifies Carr as Man Who
Was in His Room-Carr Bound
Over to Grand Jury.

John Carr arrested last week on
the charge of burglarizing the room
of Matthew Dunn at the Renshaw
rooming house, was yesterday bound
over to await the action OF the next
grand jury, his bond being fixed by
Justice Cartwright at $1,000. Be-
ing unable to furnish this he was re-
manded to Jail.
Dunn was the first witness placed
on the stand. He identified Carr pos
itiyely as the man who had robbed
him and told of being awakened by
a noise in his room and finding Carr
standing by his bed. He later found
that he had been robbed OF $18.T5.
When he accused Carr the latter ran.
Carr confessed that he had run
but attempted to establish an allbi.
This failed signally and from the pre-
liminary evidence 1t looked as IL he
were guilty. Mrs. RRnshaw, keeper
OF the lodging house. testified that
she had seen him enter the room OF
Dunn and had gone to the door,
finding 1t locked on the inside. Later
she had found the window open and
it seemed that the man might have
made his escape in that way.
The proceedings were enlivesed by
a continual tilt between District At
torney Eddy and Charles 4 Reeves

est during their trip was the man
ner I'm which the big Simplex car

WINTERS HAD HARD FALL.
Results Not Considered serious by
Physician-Is Brought to
City to Recover.

H. X Winters, driver of the eight
horse team which started early in the
week for Willow Patch with the key
stone drill sent out by Thomas Rock
hill. sustained painful but not neces-
sarily dangerous injuries Monday by
falling from the seat of the drill.
His back was badly bruised and for
a time he was in much pain. He
was brought to Ely for treatment.
DIR. A F. Adams has found that
Winters injuries while painful are
not serious. The fall frqn the seat
of the drill was about seven feet.
Winters fell on his back in pile
OF rocks and for some time was IN
able to move. which gave rise to the
belief that his back was broken.

More Men for Eastern Nevada and
slopes of Sierra Mountains.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 20
Three significant moves indicating
good progress were made by the
Western Pacific yesterday The
traeklaying gang brought the west
ern rail end into the town OF Hay
ward. and there ensued a local eele-
bration OF the event.
A large additional force of work
men was put into service in eastern
Nevada with the understanding that
track laying will be pushed west
ward from Shafter steadily till the
rail ends reach Humboldt Wells,
where a temporary stop will be made.
Announcement was made at Marys-
vile that within 80 days passenger
service will be established between
Marysyille and Berry Creek, % miles
up in the Sierra above Oroyille, the
wait being necessary pending the ar
rival of coaches, the company's one
combination coach now having all it
can do to seat the passenger business
between Oroyille and Berry Creek.
Reports from Marysyille state also
that 200 men We're ptu to work yes
terday morning grading above Berry
Creek.
The company reports also that
track laying has begun Just west of
the little mountain town of Beck
with, which is this side of Beckwith
pass, the summit point in the new
transeontinental line.

Bonds RECEIVED in CITY
WILL Be SIGNED TODAY

bond sale last evening stated that he
believed confidently that there is
nothing to prevent letting of the con-
tract for erection Of the building
within the next two weeks. He will
notify the commissioners this morn-
ing OF the fact that the bonds are
here awaiting their signatures and
they doubtless will take the matter
in hand at once In order to bring il
10 as speedy close az possible.
The bonds az Mr.. Farson has had
them autographed are practically
the same as the old form. except
that the Objectionable cause allow
ing them to be taken up "on or
before the time specified for semi
annual payments has been eliminat-
ed
When the fact that the bonds had
been received became generally
known In Ely yesterday the feeling
of elation expressed by the citizens
was hearty. 1t is probable. every
one thinks, that work will be COM
menoed on the court house and jail
within so days from this time, Ii not
before, and the building be complet-
ed by the first of the coming year.

A LEAD STACK
WHENEVER

Development of Ore Will
Get il at SteptOe.-Mr.
Yeatman here--Amal.
eamated StoryScOuted

Pope leatman, managing director
of the mines and reduction works of
the allied interests in the district,
arrived in Ely City last evening from
Idaho. He will remain in the dis
trict until Saturday or Monday, when
he will leave for short trip out
side. Before departure he will make
inspection of work at mines and re-
duetion works Last evening he was
accompanied In from McGnl BY Su-
perlntendent Lakenan and Edwin s.
Berry, who will go with him this
morning for visit 10 Cumberland
Ely and Nevada Consolidated proper
ties.
When seen last evening Mr.. Yeat-
man said that conditions in Idaho
have recently improved much. All
the mines are now working and the
reduction plants going. The ad-
vance in market price for lead has
Aeen very encouraging. This metal
has made the best recovery of any
Of them and seems in strong posi-
ton. The action OF copper, Mr.. Yeat-
man said. had been rather disap-
pointing and improvement In its
price makes no comparison with that
of lead. OF the latter the market
was practically bare at the time Of
the beginning OF the depression last
year. while there we're large stocks
Of copper on hand This has worked
If slowly and IS not set all disposed
OF. though the situation as 10 supply
and demand IS much better than a
few months ago.
With relation Ia lead Alr. Aeat-
man was asked IL the Sieptoe Valley
Smelling would add a lead stack 10
its plant here. He replied that they
would be glad 10 do so and without
question would whenever shown that
there IS a sufficient supply OF lead de-
Feloped In tributary territory TO war
rant erection OF the stack. To this
time lead property owners and pro-
dueers have taken no steps toward
assuring the company of business IN
ans quantity and until this is done
II is unlikely that there Will be move
made by the smelter. The fact, how
ever. that the management OF the
smelter is ready to erect lead stack
Will be exceedingly good news TO
many In this and neighhoring dis
triets who believe that 81 IS but a
matter OF a little time until there
will be very large lead production
developed for reduction here.
Concerning conditions at mines
and smelter. Mr.. Yeatman said last
night that he would have to go over
the ground before he would have
anything new to tell Asked regard
ing rumors which have been going
around concerning change In con-
troll of properties here whereby Anal
gamated people would take charge,
he said that the reports were without
truth so far as he knew. He nor no
one else associated In official capacity
with Nevada Consolidated, Cumberr
land Ely or the Steptoe Valley Smelt-
ing & Mining has heard anything on
this subject of official or anything
bearing relation to official character
