No BOND SALE.

sale of its $4,000 bond issue now
than before A. b. Witcher went to
Salt Lake, as Mr.. Witcher stated yes
terday that there seems little likeli-
hood of disposing of bonds in that
city. 1t had been expected locally
that he would be able 10 put through
the deal there and his failure Will
create some disappointment. At the
time Mr. Witcher left il was ANNOUNCE
ed that he would endeavor to place
the bonds either personally in Salt
Lake or through correspondence with
eastern buyers. Mr.. Witcher states
that while on his trip he visited a
number of strong financiers and en-
deavored TO place the issue but was
not successful. Unless something is
done toward disposing of the bonds
before the end of the year. another
$4,000 will have been Topped off the
issue as that amount comes due each
half year because of the dating of
the bonds at the time Of issuance.

TROUBLE WITH LIGHTS.

Last night an unique sight was
seen on Aultnan street in Ely. all of
the stores on the west side of the
west side of the street being lighted
by the pickering blazes of candles or
lamps. while on the other side of the
highway the buildings were lighted
with more than usual brilliancy.
This condition of affairs was caused
by trouble with the new transmits
sion line. which was not reetified for
some time after the houses on the
west side of the street had been
plunged into sudden darkness by the
breaking down of the line. Ii would
have been a rare time for holdup
crowd and the report was circulated
that the wires had been cut for the
purpose of allowing some of the
more prosperous saloons on that side
of the street to be dealt with by
highwaymen. There was nothing in
this. however. and the eXtraviligance
of the officers was unrewarded.
