COUNTY FILES REPLY
CITY IS ALLEGED TO
HAVE PASSED LIMIT

Answer has been filed by the coun-
" in the suit of the city of Ely VS..
White Pine county to recover
$73959, alleged to be due from the
county treasury as a residue of the
fire fund raised at the time the wa
ter system was installed. The an
swer denies almost in toto the al
legations of the complaint, but ad-
mits several points.
1t first denies that Ely Is muni-
cipal corporation existing under the
laws of the state from April 20, 1907.
IL admits. however. that Ely has ex-
ereised the rights vested In an in
corporated town since that time.
1t admits issuance of bonds for &c.
600 and admits collecting that
amount on February 16. 1907. IL
also admits that there remains in the
treasury $739.79 against which there
is no outstanding claim
Denial that any legal claim to the
sum was made on December /, 1907,
Is entered and also denial of know
ledge sufficient of an organized fire
department under the city ordinance.
1t denies that it refused to pay the
amount when proper demand was
made.
On the contrary. that on Novem-
ber |, 1907. the demand was made
by Charles A. Walker, the city at
torney and was ordered paid. In
proof of this copy of the order is
attached to the document. The or
der requested the county auditor to
audit the account and draw war
rant for the sum. This he refused
to do. The last allegation is that
the claim was never properly pre-
sented in writing until February 21,
1908, which was not within the six
months limit fixed for the presenta-
ton of claims. 1t therefore is prayed
that the Judgment be rendered in ia
vor of the defendant and the action
be dismissed.
The general tone of the document
is to throw back upon the county re-
corder the blame for not having paid
the amount when so requested. Re-
corder Meningitis reason for not
paying was that he was uncertain in
what form to allow 1t and considered
a test suit better.

tion of copper mines in the world at
this time. The enormous total of
copper output which the three COM
panies will have In few years would
give the holding company a prestige
in the copper world that would be
second to none and put Ely largely
in position to dictate the metal price.
Locally there has been keen inter
est in the reported arrangements for
the merger and general hope and ex-
pectation that 1t will go through.
1t means much. There is no less
eagerness here to participate in the
new issue than there is in the east
and many orders for the stock as
soon as 1t is available have been put
on the wire during the week. There
is also large local interest with re-
gard to the terms which will be fixed
for the going in of Nevada Console
dated and Cumberland Ely. On this
point there has been no information
received here and 1t is absolutely un-
known what terms will be made.

WINSTED. Conn. April with
$4,000 wagered on the result by
their crews, the battleships Indiana
and Illinois raced three miles
straight away while steaming UP the
Lower California coast, according to
a letter received today from Edward
McNeigh, a seaman on the Illinois,
by his brother. Joseph McVeigh. of
Manchester. The Illinois won by a
narrow margin.
The race was the outcome OF a
contest between the Indiana and the
Minnesota, while the vessels We're on
the east coast of South America.
That race was won by the former,
and the boys of the Indiana announc-
ed themselves the champions of the
fleet Their claim was promptly
challenged by the Illinois.
No opportunity to test the merits
of the vessels presented itself until
they approached Magdalena bay. but
whenever the men from the rival
ships met, wagers We're made and
money collected aboard neutral
ship and the names of the bettors
recorded.
The contest was watched by the
other vessels with the keenest inter
est, and the men aboard the Indiana
and Illinois We're in fever of excit-
ment when the signal was given.
The engineers and stokers worked to
get all the possible speed out of their
ships. and new records were made
for both vessels. McVeigh said the
amount wagered was the greatest in
the history of the fleet on the race
between battleships Other races
are looked for before the feet
reaches San Francisco.

Successful Flotation of Yukon Gold Said
to Positively Determine That the Big
Copper Merger Will be Made, With
Elys and Utah Copper Participating
Tremendous Demand, Making New and
Sensational Copper Flotation Record,
is in Prospect--High Interest Created

The Consolidated Copper meeting
held ON Monday in Maine and ON that
date adjourned until today in New
York promises to he session of high
importance to this district and tn the
copper world generally.
The New York Commercial is au-
fhority for the statement that the
success of the Yukon Gold transac-
ton handled by Thomas W. Lawson
on the New York curb last Saturday
makes certain that the Consolidated
Copper will bc reorganized into the
Copper Mines CO., capitalization in
creased and "a certain amount of the
stock placed ON the market under the
direction OF Lawson. The CONNER
cial also states that the success of
the Yukon Gold hotation was alone
necessary To the merger being
brought about of Cumberland Ely,
Nevada Consolidated and Utah Cop
per, with their affiliated companies in
the new Copper Mines Co. Consum-
nation of this merger has been de-
layed by a slight hitch. the CONNER
cial states. and To this hitch Is un-
derstood To be due the adjournment
taken on Monday until today OF the
character of the hitch the CONNER
cial has the following to say;
The hitch is in connection with
the stock held by ID. c. Jaekling,
Charles MacNeil and Spencer Penrose
who is now on his way over to this
country from Europe THESE Indi-
yiduals control about 40 per cent of
the stock of the Utah Copper Co.
and are somewhat undecided whether
they will agree to exchange their
stock for that of the Copper Mines
Co. without their consent II is
doubtful If 81 per cent of the Utah
holdings can he put into the merger,
though with the help of all the out
side stock IL is possible that the con-
troll can he passed over Regarding
the control of Nevada Consolidated
and Cumberland Ely, there is no
question that at least 30 per cent of
the stock can be turned over
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-04-03

The market has been practically
prepared for the bringing out of the
Copper Mines Co. on big scale on
the curb for more than week. The
demonstration which promises to at
tend the fiotation promises to outdo
the highly sensational excitement
which attended the floating of the
Yukon Gold stock last week, when
there was the greatest crush for this
issue that was ever witnessed on the
curb. The Offices of brokers were
besieged for couple of days in ad-
vance of the date set for the sale OF
the stock and on that day they were
literally swamped and driven to panic
by the flood of orders that swept In.
The same eagerness is being dis
played for opportunity to participate
in the stock issue of the Mines Co.
and whenever II comes on to the curb
il seems certain that the greatest
excitement that has ever attended a
conner Notation will be witnessed.
No definite announcement has yet
been made as to the probable time or
uniting the stock on sale, even In
the event of arrangements for the
merger being brought to a close TO-
day. Should the latter work be com
pleted today it is probable that the
stock issue will be placed early In
next week. if not tomorrow. Lawson
has prepared the way with tremen-
dous advertising and would seem 10
be in position to successfully launch
the stock on exceedingly short no.
tice.
The meaning of the merger, II IL
is concluded, as the Commercial CON
siders certain. and it is in position
to have inside knowledge as to the
exact situation, will mean that ELY
will be brought into greater promi-
nence than ever. as the home OF the
