Star drills rave been shipped from

l next is the time the company ex

and reliable information as to the
extent and value of the ore deposits
as the result of the drilling opera
tions. The company has 100000 in
the treasury with which to
the construction of reduction works
and the expenditure of that sum will
be commenced in July of this year,
according to the plans of the company
at this time.
The only point, it is said, that in
luences the company in delaying the
construction of the concentration and
smelter is said to rest on the results
to be determined by the drilling OPP
erations. In short, the cdoany is
not hunting ore so much as it is hunt
ing a place where there is no ore on
the 100 acres of territory it owns,
and, when that point is established
it will determine the location of the
reduction plant.
Recent drilling has disclosed the
richest deposits of porphyry yet found
on the Giroux property in the section
lying between the Morris shaft and
the Nevada Consolidated. 1t carries

The Coppermines company is oper-
ating just outside of the east lines of
the Ely Central and has sunk a shaft
$50 feet deep. A body of copper ore
has been opened in it which the shaft
penetrates for more than 200 feet and
drifting several ways from the shaft
for considerable distance has demon

plant with the chances in favor of that
plan. The shares are soon to be listed
on the New York curb and will become
one of the active stocks traded in OF

The Ely Northern company figures
on resumiEg operations in the neal

"get busy, pretty soon, Esmeralda
county will not be represented in the
Nevada exhibit at the Alaska Yukon
exposition.
Some time ago, the directors of the
exposition wrote to the State Publicity
bureau of this state saying that they
had reserved 1000 feet of space for a
Nevada mining exhibit. The State
Publicity commission at once wrote to
all the mining counties of the state ask
ing the commissioners to appropriate
$3.50, the amount the law allows for
such a purpose, for the purposes of an
exhibit.
The letter written to the commission
ers was as follows:

To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners, Esmeralda County:
conference.-the State Publicity and
Industrial commission have recently re-
ceived a letter from George Jamme,
ESQ.,, chairman of the mines and mining
committee at the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc
exposition, that they had reserved
1000 square feet in the mineral exhibit
building for a display of Nevada ores
and in the other buildings for an agri
cultural exhibit.
The legislature failed to provide fol
the expense of a Nevada exhibit at thi:
exposition and the only way that tn
state can be represented at the expos!

Section 8 OF the act creating the Pub
licity and Industrial commission pro
vides that each county can appropriate

mission in it's work.

its board of commissioners, will see tn

So far, the commissioners OF Esmer-
aida county have failed to make the
appropriation requested, and Chairman
Davis of the commission has written to
the Chamber of Commerce. AS tne
Chamber Of Commerce has no funds,
and aims to collect nothing more than
the amount of its current expenses, that
body is powerless and it is up TO-
individual mining men of the various
Esmeralda county camps. The cone-'
tion and transportation Of such an ex'
nibit would be probably in the neigh
Eorhood Of 1850 or $500, and 1t IL
hoped that the public spirited mining
men Of 0oldfeld will see that this

THE RECOUNT IN A BOOK.
History of the Hearst Mcclellan Battle in
Court Set Down by Jatter's Attorney.

John G. SAKE, OF counsel for Mavor Mcclellan in
the recount proceedings brought by William r.
Hearst in 1906 has issued an illustrated pamphlet
relating to the rulings of Justice Lambert on the
marking of ballots. The pamphlet. especially at
this time will probably prove a needed lesson
IN tbs citizens who are careless in marking their
ballots on Election Day. Mr.. SAKE presents fifteen
illustrations of marks found ballots In the Nc
6,IeIlaD-Hearst recanvass which were thrown out
because not made according 10 the election laws.
although probably made In good faith
The Mcclellan lawyer says Of the magnitude OF
the work Of recountng that over six hunderd thou
sand ballots we're recOunted. each containing 125
voting spaces and some of them bearing as many
as twenty cross-narks. Early In the recount, says
Nr Sake. it became apparent that the first thing
10 he considered in respect to almost every ballot
uas the intention OF the voter. and stipulation
vas made TO deviate from strict construction of
the election law The application of even the most
liberal rulings however. repeatedly led counsel
into radical divergences OF opinion
The chief scope for the acuteness Of counsel
savs Mr. SAKE TN seeking to throw out ballots
voted for the opposing candidate was in discover
ins, arasures There were also ballots where the
voter deliberately struck out the name OF can
dfdate. These were void. There were also many
other ballots bearing long short. dark light
lines which the Court held TO be accidental
Mr. SAKE says that Justice Lambert's rulings in
1,,atad his desire to ascertain and carry out the
I,+eption Of the voter. He refers 70 Justice Lam
bert as an ideal selection as chief Inspector Of
the recount.

Mrs. Peary said she had never heard the

mention of discovering new land. She has no

North Pole published in special edition
Of the "Matin" to-day and had en- enormous
sale As notice was given that the article was
copyrighted the other newspapers handled It
with care, but IN their comment there is no
ticeable disposition to criticise This is per-
haps due to the fact that Commander Peary's
reflections on DR.. Cook are considered ungen-
erous. The Temps is especially caustic. and
expresses the opinion that the first part of
Peary's recital is really favorable to DR.. Cook.
II says that Pearys story is obscure and even
inconsistent, pointing out particularly that
whereas his diary up to March - is scrupu-
lously precise. thereafter it shows hiatus, and
the dates are obscure and confusing. For in
stance when the story stops Captain Bartlett
had been sent back. It says:
The expedition was then in s7:4s, and still far
from the pole. Peary now proceeds alone, and
whatever suspicion was raised against Or. Cook
is equally applicable 10 him Pearys recital up
TO the present time offers nothing more worthy
of credence than that OF Cook. If il is true. as
affirmed, that polar Obsession creates sort Of

favorable. IS permissible against both explorers.
