have every courtesy extended to it,.
To be sure the road is coming to Ely
for the reason that it expects to get
business here, but on the other hand
we expect that the road will bring
more business to us; bring more
people and make the way more open
for the coming of and the investment
of capital. We have been hoping and
praying for the Ely Goldfield for a
long time, and now that it is close at
hand, we should not put the slight
est obstacle in it's way, but rather
extend to it the helping hand.
DIR. WADLEIGH-Of course we
want the railroad, and to my mind,
we cannot get it in here too quickly.
I do not believe in making slavish
advances to the Ely Goldfield, but
neither do I believe in doing any
thing that will retard their coming.
We have all been working and pray
ing for the road for months, and now
that we have a chance to get it, /
think that we should go forward and
show them that we are earnest in
our desire of having chem with us.
They have shown us that they mean
business; let us show them that we
also mean business.

SPLENDID RESULTS. FROM
ORE GIVE BIG ASSURANCE

In the simple statement that a
sample taken from the bottom of the
Emma shaft of Boston Ely on Mon
day assayed 11.45 per cent copper,
there is a mighty volume of good
news for the Ely district.
This assay was made by Millard 4
Son, the returns being made to e. w.
Hulse & Co. yesterday afternoon.
Hulse & Co. sent the sample to the
assayers Monday afternoon from a
handful brought down from the
mine. The sample was considered to
look the best in the lot, but the bal
ance was about the same, there be-
ing no great difference apparent in
appearance. The whole came at
random from the bottom of the shaft
and is therefore counted representa-
tive of the ore the Boston Ely has.
The result of the assay is of par
ticular value in putting at rest all
question as to the manner of ma
terial Boston Ely has entered, about
which there has been some difference
of opinion expressed. Some have
LnOo6AL JAdL WhdI AOOhCo AiAO S0P-
per in the ore might be only iron.
The Millard & Son assay settles
that 1t is not iron but very hand
some grade of copper-the real
thing.
The high per cent made by the
sample assures that the Boston-Ely
is going to be a rich mine; that the
ore of the district at depth in the
lime formation is high grade and
will consequently Offset the addi-
tional cost for extraction, leaving the
camp still a very cheap producer of
blister copper. Also the indications
are that the deep ore will carry con-
siderable silver and gold, thus fur
ther reducing the costs of obtaining
and marketing it's copper contents.
The assay for Hulse & Co., which is
the only one that has been made pub
lie to date, was for copper only and
the amount of silver-gold values can
therefore only be guessed at the
present time.
Yesterday there was something
better than three feet made in the
Emma shaft. The ore continues
steadily and with no sign of leaving,
everything on the other hand point
ing to it's being a big body-the de-
posit Superintendent Ralph has been
seeking and counting confidently
upon making through this shaft.
With the work yesterday and Mon
day the shaft now has something
like seven feet of the ore.
Interest continued very great yes
terday in Boston Ely and many went
to the mine. The strike remains the
whole mining talk of the district and
a great deal is figured IN benefit from
it. Not in the copper history OF the
district has there been SO much in
terest in a strike nor so much con-
fidence that wide good to big area
of the district would result. 1t is for
this reason that the interest is SO
general and that there is not at the
present time room for the considera-
ton of anything else.

Ely interest centers largely in the
regular meeting of council tonight,
at which the railroad franchise mat
ter will come up. The council will
either signify intention of adopting
the ordinance as it may be amended
or as originally presented, trifle with
delay, or turn it down and out. The
hope of the great majority of Ely
as the News has been able to gauge
the situation, is that the council will
adopt the franchise as asked for and
end the matter. What the News has
been able to ascertain in this respect,
the council also knows.
At the last council meeting,
those who opposed the building of
the road through Ely under the fran
chise asked for had full swing. 1t is
not believed that this will be the case
tonight. Those who want the road
through Ely have been aroused, un-
derstand that it is a case for action
and doubtless will be on hand as a
matter of public duty to see that the
argument is not one sided.
Since Sunday morning the News
has printed large number of inter-
views gathered at random among
business men and citizens. The
tenor of all these talks has been for
immediate and favorable action on
the franchise. They fairly represent
the general sentiment of the COM
munity as near as the News can as
certain. Its object in giving them
has been a fair deal to the people of
Ely, and in making room for the
expressions the News has only fulfill
ed public duty. This is concluded
with the following interviews gath
cred last night:
X. L. POLLY would rather see
the railroad come down Aultman
street rather than not have it come
through Ely. Clark street is the OBJ
vious thoroughfare for the road and
we should have it come that way;
and there is no doubt that proper and
just settlement can be made with the
property owners.
J.. GOODMAN-I do not own any
property on Clark street, and if
did the railroad could bisect and

MESSAGE
WAS WELL
RECEIVED
Both Sides Seem Pleased
With Taft'S Remarks
Touches up Nicaragua

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE frs
annual message of President Taft
was delivered to congress today. Il
was presented in both houses by
Assistant Secretary Latta and In
after IL O'Clock.
In the senate there was full at
tendance and as soon as the copies
had been furnished them the sen
ators riveted their attention upo1
the printed pages, closely following
the reading of the message by the
secretary of the senate.
Following closely upon the house
committee appointed to wait upol
the president, Secretary Latta. en-
tered the house at 1914, bearing
the presidents communication
There was a scramble on the part
members to obtain first copies of tht
document. When the bundles con
tanning them were unwrapped, tho
speaker at once ordered the clerk t
begin reading of the message.
The one phrase of the president
message which attracted the most at
tention in both branches of congress
was found in connection with Presi
dent Zelaya in his account of wha
he spoke of as "The sad tale of un
speakable barbarities."
Diminution of public expenditures
the custom house frauds and the
tariff act were portions which alst
impelled close attention during th'
reading of the message, which o.
the whole was received with appa1
ent favor on both sides in eacl
house.
President Taft closely followed hi
message to the senate with list t,
that body of about 1900 nomina
tions to Federal offices, composed fo
the most part of postmasters am
census supervisors. The re-appoint
ment of Franklin K. Lane, of Cali
fornia, Democrat, as members of tn
Interstate Commerce Commission
was announced.
The message repeats the presi
dents frequent public utterance
with regard to a number of vital Is
sues. Among these is change il
court conduct which will enable
speedier trials; establishment of tht
postal savings bank system and leav
ing of the tariff as it stands unit
report of the tariff commission i
made. The message comprises 30,
900 words and like previous mes
sages from Mr.. Taft to congress
notable for terse paragraphs ant
simple directness.

crosscut it, and do anything they
wanted with it. If it were up to me
l would say the more railroads that
go through Ely, the better for Ely.
We are in Ely for the making of
business and money, and the railroad
is the benefactor of all of us in that
regard.
DIR. w. S. HOLMQUIST-By all
means let us have the railroad and
as quickly as possible. ! think we
are unit on that point, and the only
route seems to be along Clark street,
both for the road and for the people.
1 do not wish to see any property
owner injured, and I don't think that
anybody else does. If the city and
the railroad does not do the proper
thing by them they have the courts
for redress.
w. A. LEONARD have signed
the petition to the city council ask
ing for the granting of the franchise,
and think that that is sufficient in
dication of where l stand.
nj. E.. WADLEIGH-Rail

tAoI IuACC VI thO VI oth VI Ihko W AAh6
ing one railroad into the district, and
a second and competing road would
make it still better for the town as
we'll as the district. l do not know
the situation with regard to any in
juries property owners might sus-
tain, but surely there is way to
remedy that, and the court is the
proper place for the redress Of griev-
anceS.
FRANK M. LELAND am a
newcomer here, but the question of
bringing in another railroad to Ely,
is one easily answered in the abb
stract. A mining town cannot get
along very well without road if it
has anything to ship, and If it wants
to get living down to reasonable
basis. 1t seems to me that the
street on which the rails of the Ne
vada Northern are already laid is the
most practicable route through the
city.
ED. MILLARD-I certainly want
to see the railroad come through Ely,
and l think that the railroad should

HARD FREIGHTING TRIP.

Three teams will leave for the Hub
mine this morning with more freight
for the Turner tungsten mine. Rails,
powder, lumber, another boiler and
all sorts of commodities are going
out on this train. The last freight
train to the mine, which is As miles
out, took seven days for the round
trip. General Manager E. L. Fletch-
er went out at the same time and the
return trip occupied two days, and
Mr.. Fletcher was driving double
team. There was more mud than
anything else on the trip, and the
going, to say the least, was hard.

SLAIN IN CHASE OF GIRL.
Father Who Overtakes ElOping
Daughter Killed by Her Lover.

CAMILLA, Ca, Dec. Pursuing
his eloping daughter, who ran away
from home with Columbus Huey, T.
]. Sellers, one of the wealthiest farm
ers of Mitchell county, was shot to
death on the public road, 10 miles
southeast of here, this afternoon,
when he caught the fleeing couple.
Leaving the body in the road,
Huey and Miss Sellers, it is alleged
drove rapidly on, intending to COM
plete the elopement with a wedding.
The sheriff was notified by telephone
and is pursuing the fleeing man and
girl. 1t is said that .ne shot that
killed Sellers was fired after an
alteration and fight for possession
of the girl. No word has been heard
from the sheriff since he left, but
the general direction in which Huey
was travelling is known and it is be-
lieved he will be captured soon.
Details Of the tragedy are lacking
since the place of the killing is some
distance from telephone.

DEATH IN

BLIZZARD
Has West in Fatal Grip
Victims in Chicago and
Intense Cold Elsewhere

CHICAGO, Dec. IA heavy
snow, accompanied by lower tenn
peratures and 35 mile an hour
wind, swept over Chicago and the
surrounding territory today.
One man was found dead from the
cold and exposure and two men,
blinded by snow, were run over and
killed by trains. 1t is feared other
bodies will be found in the morning.
The snowfall has seriously ham
