That PAVING Bill.

The following letter explains itself
To Wimingtonians
address this statement i'm this way
because ! think Of sending it 10 several
WilmingRn newspapers.
have long been very desirous that
there should he a change IN our practice
and that a large part Of the cost Of paw
ing streets should be paid by holders Of
abutting property. I believe there is no
hope Of our getting streets as good as in
many other cities without such change.
! have wondered whether 7 could 10 ad-
vantage write anything for the public on
the subject J now feel much relieved by
its having been done so very much bet
ter than I could do Il, and I feel that
may be excused without saying much ex-
cept to most earnestly ask all who arc
interested in the matter TO give careful
study 20 the letter Of +. Chalkley Hatton,
which has been published I'm several Of
the newspapers within the past few days.
] would call especial attention 10 the
thought he expresses that Wilmington
cannot expect to accomplish what other
cities cannot accomplish. that is. pave its
streets satisfactorily out of common
fund. and that the sooner we recognize
this and change our course the better.
1t may be we'll for me TO add few
personal remarks. ! have worked I'm re-
gard 10 this matter for perhaps eight
years. Those whom | have found deeply
interested IN II are not persons such as
would as property owners receive any
especial advantage from the change, and
they have been very largely city officers
and employees upon whom an appreciation
Of the necessity OF a chaTge has been
forced by their familiarity with the city
work: and who have known that some
thing nearly like what is proposed Is al
most universal IN cities of the United
States
For myself may say that as the nrin-
cipal holder OF the stock of Woodlawr
/ Company I am much interested in WI.
mington real estate; and almost all OF "A
either small houses or building lots on tn,
outskirts OF the city These are the classe,
Of property we so often hear would b'
treated unfairly by making the change
but 7 believe that whatever element o
unfarness there may be. what is pro
/ posed would be very much to our advan
tage. and that an the course Of a few
years. besides having much better streets
the amount Of unfairness and inequalit,
would be very much less than IL is a
present.

GALA night

Tho sixtv-ninth annual reception of
the Washington Fire Company, held
at the German Hall last night, was
one Of the most enjoyable affairs ever
given bv the company. Aside from
the members and their families. there
were a number of invited guests pres
ent including members of the City
Council and visitors.
An entertainment. IN which local
talent and talent from Dockstadcr'
took part. was much enjoyed. Hyrup S
moving pictures and illustrated songs
were also on the programme. In the
list of numbers was a solo by Miss
Alice Feeney. She charmed her audi
ence and responded TO an encore.
Preceding the grand march a hand
painted picture. presented by the
Washington Hook and Ladder Com
pany. Of Reading. Pa. was presented
to the local company by a member Of
the Rtading organization.
The hanauet was served in a splendid
manner. The menu consisted of: Cold
meats. roast ham. pork and tongue.
rib roast of beef, au jus; French peas;
mashed potatoes; chicken and potatoe
salads. celery. olives. mixed pickles.
pickeled onions. assorted fruits. bread
and butter. biscuits. coffee and ice
cream. Jacob Zimmerman was the
caterer.
The success Of the reception was
largely due to<the work of the fol-

Parthree. Henry Carr, Robert c.
Porter. James Dickerson, Edward
Donahue. George NJ. Yates, Joseph A
Farrell and james II. Yates.

The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-12-16
STRIKE Of
RICH ORE IS
REPORTED

A strike of silver bearing ore, 60
ing 5000 ounces to the ton, is the
latest sensation in mining in White
Pine county.
This was the news brought into
Ely yesterday morning by John
Eager, and the find was made by his
partners, the Burke boys, near
Schellbourne. The find was made
while the boys were doing their as
sessment work. How great will be
the extent of the discovery it is i'm
possible to state at this time, but
the boys know that they have 9
inches of the silver stuff which goes
$4,000 ton.
Forty years ago in that part of
the county there was a great rush,
and the town of Schellbourne thrived
and grew into one of the liveliest
in the county If not in the state. 1t
was at Ruby hill, 10 miles across
the mountains, that the richest sill
yer float ever seen in Nevada was
picked up. So rich was it that 1t
was teamed all the way to Salt Lake
and smelted at big profit. They
never could locate the source of the
ore, and it may be at this late day
that the Burke boys have located it
at Schellbourne.

FOUND NEAR DEAD IN ROAD
HIS FEET and EARS FROZEN
FRIGHTFUL STRUGGLE NEAR FATAL AT THE END

With both feet frozen and one ear
in the same condition, young man
was picked up by DR.. Chisolm near
Lane city yesterday afternoon and
brought to Ely. He is now in the
county hospital. The sufferer is an
American and a workingman, and
was on his way to Cherry Creek when
he dropped by the roadside from
sheer exhaustion.
He told a rambling story last even
ing to the attendants at the hospital
and it was evident that his sufferings
had been intense in the bitter cold
of Tuesday night, which he spent in
the mountains. He started to cross
cality where he was picked up by
the doctor. He said that he had ex-
perienced little or no discomforts
until Tuesday afternoon, when he
was threatened with snow blindness.
1t was blowing blizzard, and har-
ried with the snow drift and the
partial blindness, he lost his way and
was overtaken at night miles away
from any habitation. 10 attempt to
lie down would have been to invite
death, and he was compelled to keep
going, stumbling on in the snow and
the darkness. Whittier he went and
how he went he scarcely remembers.
His body was comfortably clad, but
his feet were not covered to contend
with the snow
The unfortunate fellow was literal
ly buffeted from pillar to post. He
fell many times during the night of
dumb agony upon the threshold of
death and would pick himself out
of hole only to stumble over an
upraise. 1t was only by supreme eff
fort that he made headway at all.
He was lost, utterly lost. His des-
tination was Cherry Creek, but he
had no idea tnat he was many miles
out of his course. He had but hazy
idea of the direction of Ely, where
he knew that haven of safety await
ed him could he only make the city.
At times he thought that he could
see the lights of town, but it was
a delusion of his imagination.
When morning broke he was but
little better off than in the darkness
of the night and he could only keep
on going, going, he knew not where.
Finally, he struck trail that led
down to the main road through Rob-
inson canyon, and he dragged him
