ORGAN IS STILL SIDE-STEPPINC
QUESTION ASKED BY THE NEWS

News has sought to correct some of
its lies, among them being announce
ment that the Steptoe Valley Smelt-
ing & Mining Co., is To construct its
fifth unit ''at the point of the hill"
or across the valley" is still side
stepping the question put TO it sew
eral times by the News.
This question is: WHO is THE
HIGHEST AUTHORITY (as the or
gon terms he. she or 1t. whatever
may be the case) THAT HAS SEEN
FIT TO ANNOUNCE IN BEHALF
OF THE STEPTOE COMPANY. IT'S
MOVEMENTS WITH REGARD TO
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
FIFTH UNIT?" The News has given
its authority for the denial of the
story. an authority ranked by none
i'm this district and man whose
veracity cannot be questioned. The
afternoon organ referred to has no
reliable authority-it knows il and
therefore deliberately eyades the
question. rather than frankly admit
ting its story was based on theory
alone, needing the article so badly to
FIJI up space and create a sensation,
that it was afraid to bring about cor
rohoration of its details, lest the
facts be denied by those who know.
Under the Caput. Simply Piqued
Because it Did not Learn of Concen-
TRAITOR" the organ yesterday publish
ed another of its series of literary
convulsions aimed at the men who
are responsible for its organization
and existence. Not a word was said
about concentrator as signified in
the head. nor about something being
''piqued" In the article attached
thereto. However. the News would
understand the organ to imply in
this. that members of the News stan
were vexed because they did not learn
that the fifth unit of the Steptoe Val
ley Smelling & Mining Co. is to be
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-11-19

erected "at the point of the hill" or
across the valley"
The News did NOT learn these
facts, it has not learned them since,
and furthermore it never will learn
them. There will be no argument as
to whether or not the News learned
of the construction of the fifth unit
"at the point of the hill'' because it
will admit that 1t has not. The News
will further state that it might have
been "piqued" had the statement
been true, but having in hand and
having announced the truth, a COM
plete denial of the story. it sees no
reason why IL should be 'piqued."
The News again asks, WHO is
YOUR HIGHEST AUTHORITY?
Your silence on this question is but
an admission of your policy of mis-
representation. II YOU can prove
your statement, the News will con-
gratulate you-if you cannot. you
have no reason for attacking the
News for telling the truth. and in
any event your slanderous attacks on
the men and interests that have prov
ed their sterling worth in this dis
triet should cease, principally for
your own benefit

LIVED LONG WITH LIMP SPINE
Man Dies After Surviving Two Years
With Broken Back

SOUTH FARMINGTON. Mass. Nov.
1S-Ghester Nicholson, who had been
in the hospital two wears with a bro
ken back, died l3sr night
Nicholson's case is considered by
the hospital surgeons as the most re-
markable that ever came under their
observation. The man was buried
in the wreckage of the American
building, which fell in 1905, killing
IL workmen. His back was broken
and his spinal cord severed, but after
nine months he was able to sit up
and go about in a wheeled chair He
always was confident that eventually
he would recover. but a few days ago
he began to fail rapidly. his consti-
tuition breaking down completely as
a result of months of pain, and late
last night the end came. Nicholson
was 30 years old and unmarried.
