also exhibited some class. and any bout

RESTAURANT
IS WRECKED
BY SAILORS
ALLEGED THAT ACTION WAS IN
REBUKE TO OVERCHARGING
HABIT AT COAST TOWNS
PROPRIETORS IN FLIGHT.


NORFOLK, Va, Sept. IS.-Much
excitement was caused today at the
seaside city of Pine Beach by an at
tack on a restaurant by large
party of sailors on shore leave from
the fleet in Hampton roads. The
place was stoned and practically
wrecked The cause of the attack
is not known.
The sailors resisted the small po-
lice squad that was available to cope
with them and the blue coats were
shortly put to route, while their
assailants continued with demolish-
ing the. restaurant. The proprietor
of the latter fed while the violence
was at it's height and has not since
been located.
1t is asserted that a practice had
been made of overcharging at the ex-
pense of the sailors while on shore
leave and that their action was a
retaliation and warning against CON
tinuance of the offense at coast towns
1t is presumed that the officers OF
the fleet will investigate and take
such action as may seem desirable.

GETS CHEAP REALTY.
Hon. H. A. Comins Buys in 100
Cherry Creek Lots at %
Cents Each.

The purchase of over 100 lots in
the town of Cherry Creek for %
cents each sounds like fairy tale,
but it is nevertheless true. Ex-Sena-
tor Fl. A. Comins of this city has
acquired ownership over a large part
of the Cherry Creek townsite through
an investment of $3.50, and is now
the owner of one hundred and fifteen
lots in that enterprising camp
Through his recent acquisition Mr..
Comins is in possession of all the
lots at Cherry Creek on which no
improvements have been made. The
lots are scattered throughout the
town.
TIL Cherry Creek lots were bought
in by Mr.. Comins last January at a
tax sale and the time for redemption
having expired tax deed was is
sued to Mr.. Comins yesterday by
County Treasurer Leahigh.
The real estate was assessed to un-
known owners by the Assessor last
year in the preparation of the as
sessment roll, because there was no
way to determine who the real
owners were. For number of
years the lots were not assessed. and
title still remained in the hands. of
the original owners. In order that
the county might receive the tax on
this unimproved property. 1t was de-
cided to have the lots listed on the
assessment roll.
During the early days of Cherry
Creek the lots were taken UP by
numerous persons under squatters
rights and during their residence in
the old silver camp they retained
possession of the ground. With the
decline in the value of silver there
was a general exodus from the camp.

REPORT
'n+s-t
IS OUT
Says Ely Central is As
sared Of Many Million
Tons of Ore on It's
Properties

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. Especial
to the News) The report to the
president and stockholders of the
Ely Central Copper company by
Colonel w. A. Parish has been filed
and will be published In full.
1t is learned that Mr.. Parish re-
ports assured ore reserves for the
company of thirty-three million tons,
contained in that portion of the
ground lying between the Copper
FLAT steam shovel pit of the Nevada
Consolidated and the Ely Central
eastern sidelin. This Is towards the
Star Pointer shaft, and is eighteen
hundred feet long by twelve hun
dred feet In width and two hun
dred feet thick .
Mr.. Parish also sees large pros
pective value in the probability of
discovering a large area of steam
shovel mining ground extending
from the Tutwiler claims, on the
east, to the company's western side
lines, of the existence of which there
are many Indications.
A steam shovel proposition may
also be demonstrated in south
westerly direction from the Tutwiler
claims toward the Star Pointer shaft.
Further, Colonel Parish declares
there are three sfissure veins, namely
the Clipper, Josie and Monarch
which should develop at water level
into big producers of high grade,
direct smelling ore.
Finally, the great dykes or veins,
says the report, which cross the
southern end of the properties may
develop at depth into valuable
mines.
In concluding, the report says:
There is enough ore practically
assured from present developments
to make of this a large mine, and
the property values are such that on
all development they should and in
my opinion will place this property
in the ranks of the largest and best
dividend payers of the same acreage
now being worked"

DR.. Cook discussed freely the as
sertions of Commander Peary that he
(Cook) had never reached the North
Pole, and detailed story of the
causes that brought about the dis
sensions between the two explorers
was drawn from him.
When he departed for the north,
DR.. Cook said, he left provisions at
Annatook, north of Etah, in charge
of Rudolph Fracke and several Es-
kimos. Fracke had instructions to
go south aboard a whaler and re-
turn later. This he did, but missed
the returning vessel. owing to slight
illness. He then was taken aboard
Peary's ship, the Roosevelt and pro-
ceeded north.
Commander Peary found my sup

continued, 'and the Eskimos in
charge told him was dead, which
they fully believed to be true at the
time.
"They placed two men in charge
of the depot, Boatswain Murphy and
another, Harry Whitney, the New

me, but was told that he would send

TRADING STATION OF DEPOT.
When l went into the depot there
was a dispute between myself and
Murphy, who delivered to me writ
ten instructions he had received
from Peary, although he himself
could neither read or write. These
instructions showed he was max
ing a trading station of my depot,
the contents of which had been used
in trading for furs and skins.
DR.. Cook said he was intensely
annoyed at this use of his supplies
and threatened to kick out Murphy
and his companions. Finally, how
ever, he consented to their remain
ing at the depot, as there was no
other shelter for them.
""On one occasion Murphy asked
me abruptly, Have you been beyond

"But I was determined not to let
Peary know of my movements and
replied evasively that I had not been
much farther north. From this
statement has been concerted the de-
