Kimball Goes To Mexico.

To the many acquaintances of Editor
2. c. Kimball, of the Ontonagon Herald,
the announcement of his resignation in
this capacity in last Saturdays edition,
came as quite surprise, as this move
on his part was known only to few.
Mr.. Kimball has been at the desk of
the Herald for number of years, and
has maintained paper which has never
been lacking in live and up-to-date-
minute news.
When the Herald company was or
ganized following the death of the
former owner Mr.. DIR. Mr.. kimball
became joint owner and retained the
position which he had in years past.
His resignation is to take effect this
week, whence he will leave for Albu-
querque, New Mexico, and enter bust.
ness for himself.
His position at Ontonagon will be
filed by Claude d. Riley, of Greenville,
Mich, and it is with feeling of deepest
regret in upper peninsula newspaper
dom that the departure is chronicled.

Reserves Cancel Game.

Friday morning telegram was re-
ceived by Manager Morrison, of the H.
s. team, which bore the information
that, on account of the injury of one of
their players, the Naval Reserve team,
of Hancock, would be unable to play
the game of basket ball game which
was scheduled to take place in this vii
lage this evening with the H. S. team.
This decision is great disappoint-
ment to the lovers of the sport, but
Mr.. Morrison assures us that on next
Friday night everyone will be repaid
for any pleasures missed, for on that
date the Hancock H. S. boys will play
our HI. S. team, and although the Han
cock girls have not been consulted as
yet, all possible efforts will be made to
have them accompany the boys. thus
giving the people of this community
the opportunity of witnessing two fast
games for the one admission fee.
To conclude the evenings enjoyment,
social hop will be given, for which
good music will be furnished.

Marquette Man Spends Thursday In
Negotiations with conncilmen.

E. F. Kennedy. representing the Mar
quette Boiler and Sheet Iron Works,
was in L'Anse Thursday, negotiating
with members of the village council ir
matters pertaining to the disposal OF
the boiler formerly used at the electric
lighting plant.
AS his stay was but short one and
many little things which entered into
the transaction could not be done at the
time, nothing of definite nature re-
suited. Among other things which
were discussed during Mr.. Kennedy's
visit was the cost in having the fire en-
gine overhauled, but this, like the 9TH
er affair. was dropped until the future.
What the outcome in either case will
be is still conjecture.

Secure option on Spur Mine.

Already having taken over an ex-

grade ores for which there has hereto.
fore been but little demand. the inter
est associated with John T. Jones in
operation of the newly invented furnace

The latest property in which it il
understood that an option has beer
taken is the old Spur mine, located in
this county, at the extreme western
end Of the Marquette range.
The Spur has been idle for many
years. 1t was opened in 1873 and made
its last shipment in 1882. 1t, was at this
mine that Thomas A. Edison's first
experiments along the line Of concentrat

Come Out and Vote.

While it is generally conceded that
the majority of qualified voters of
L'Anse village thoroughly understand
the nature and reasons therefor of the
special election which is called for Mon
day, February 9th, there are still few
who seem to carry the idea that the
action on the part of the village faith
ers is to pile an additional load upon the
taxpayers.
This, however, is not the case, and
while we felt that publication of a
gist of the law laid out by the new con-
stitution was plain, there are still few
"doubting Thomases.
The net revenue from the hydro
electric plant for the year at the pres
ent time is in the neighborhood of
81, 600 and it is so arranged by the sys-
tenn of mortgage-bond that the present
Indebtedness may easily be met by this
revenue.
This, it is plain to see, incurs no ex-
ira tax upon the taxpayer, but presents
itself as the only safe and feasible
means whereby this indebtedness may
be met with safety and assurance.
| In order that the question carries, a
vote of three-fifths of the taxpayers
must be had, and in the failure to thus
secure the privilege, it will become
necessary for the council to get bill
passed, authorizing the village to bond
in the same manner as in the past,
which would add extra expense and
shoulder a greater burden than ever
upon the people.
With this in view, the most urgent
appeal to the people is to turn out and
put their shoulder to the wheel and do
their utmost on Monday, Feb. 9Th, to
further the interests of the commun-
ity to the extent of casting vote in
favor of the proposition.

A Lively Runaway.

Tuesday evening lively runaway
occurred while a team Of horses at
tached to carryall was en- route from
the depot to the village. The accident is
accounted for in having the horses too
closely hitched. and coming down the
hill, the animals would hit their heels.
Two of the occupants Of the rig were
slightly injured. The horses made q
general race about town before being
stopped by falling, when coming down
Railroad street hill.

REvoLurIoNIzEs SMILING.
Much 10 Claimed for Z Furnace In
vented BY Relative Of L'Anse
Family.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. Blankenhorn are
enjoying the pleasures of glad tidings
recently received concerning the won
derful success of wonderful invention,
which their nephew Edward Fink, OF
Milwaukee, is the inventor.
Word from Milwaukee conveys the
following:
Edward Fink, son of Henry Fink,
collector of internal revenue, Milwauk-
ee, has completed the construction OF
what is pronounced the most remark
able smelter ever devised. 1t is said
that the smelter is about to revolution
ize copper mining methods. In the
copper mining districts of Utah the
first of the Fink smelters was recently
erected. The furnace produced su-
perior copper from the Boston Consoli-
dated concentrates. In several hours
of operation, in the course of which a
tremendous, steady, uniform white heat
was maintained, less than one ton of
coal was burned. Following that ex-
pertinent Mr.. Fink succeeded in ac-
complishing the difficult task of pro-
ducing blister copper.
One of the most remarkable features
of the Fink furnace is that it consumes,
absolutely, its own smoke and gases.
From its stacks there rises only white
hot vapor, hardly discernable; no smoke
whatever is emitted. In view of the
success attained in Utah, Fink smelt-
ing furnace will, in the near future, be
constructed in Milwaukee. Mr.. Fink
will arrive in the city in the course of a
few days. He has been given unre-
stricted right to build furnace of such
proportions as he may desire. This
smelter will probably be erected at the
Cactus mine, Beaver county, proper
ty owned by Samuel Newhouse.
Experiments with the Fink smelter
at the plant of the Boston Consolidated
Mills company recently, are said to have
elected from Mr.. Newhouse the COM
ment that the success evident in the
operations would mean millions to both
the company and inventor. Ore, by
the Fink process, is reduced to bullion
for less than 81 per ton. Heretofore
the lowest cost has been slightly under
SO. 1t is estimated that complete
Fink plant can be fitted up for less than
$40, 900.

Hall Wants $3.50 Month for His Labors
and Boyd& Salisbury Satisfied With Lump
Sum Of Six Thousand Dollars.

Monday morning, says the Car.
son News, Receiver George S. Hall
was purged of the contempt matter
that fell to- his lot by not appearing
at the proper time at the last ses-
sion of the court. This was done
through his attorney, Boyd, explain
ing that he had mistaken the time
set by his honor at the time of the
session and consequently arrived
from Reno on the afternoon train
when he should have been on han
in the morning. M
The final report of the receiver
was then taken up and Attorney
Chartz arose and filed a verbal OBJ
lection to the report, but Boyd re-
fused to stand for this and was sus-
tanned by the court in calling for
written bill of objections. Chartz
said that he would be able to pre-
pare one by 1880 p. m. and this
time was granted by the court. In
response to question as to whom
he represented in the case, Chartz
stated that he represented his wife,
as he had not been divorced yet,
and Furthermore that he represent
ed a number of the stockholders
and last but not least, Frank Col
den, who he claimed was the heav-
lest stakeholder of the bank.
Boyd objected to the speech that
Chartz was making and claimed that
there was nothing before the court
Attorney Salisbury called the at
tention of the court to the fact thai
Attorney Mayes was on hand ant
would like to take up the matter O.
| the preferred claim of the Firs
National bank of San Francisco
Mayes placed Hofer upon the stanC
and asked a number of question
about the notes held by the bank
By the testimony and statements i
was shown that note was sen
| from San Francisco for collection
on January %, 1909, and that tn
same had been collected and tina
! the money had never been returne
TO the San Francisco bank.

compensation and not on his for
mer business or salary. What I
want to know is what Mr.. Hall has
done, and win then fix his compen-
sation.
This brought out a few sallies by
both Boyd and Chartz and the latter
said that he was being taught all
around, and Boyd replied, You
need it from the ground up"
Again. Chartz went at Hall with,
you have done but little work but
the bossing, is it not?" to which
Hall replied, Isn't that enough"
what have you done?s asked
Chartz, and got the reply, Been
mostly in court Boyd tried to
blame this state of affairs on Chartz
but honors were even.
Chartz then asked a number Of
questions to which Hall replied, Il
don't know, and later, DO you
suppose that l can carry all that in
my head?" This caused Chartz TO
reply: Commencing at $3.50 per
month and raising to $3.50, you
ought to have something in your
head"
Hall was excused and ATTORNEY
Boyd took the stand and told the
story of his connection with the
bank from his first employment by
Golden. He told of the transferring
of the receivership and the hand
| that he had in it. OF how the pres
ent receiver took hold of the work,
that the books were in a frightful
shape and how a book in Tonopah
| had not had an entry made in it for
months. Notes were marked paid
that were not, other notes trans
ferred and attempts made to hide
them and all in tumble. He stat
ed that he thought fee of $4,000
would be reasonable for the work
his firm had done.
While the case was going on,
Thomas Lockhart of Tonopah was
in court with his attorney and close
tab was kept on all actions. 1t is
thought that Lockhart will take a
hand in the matter today as he is
the heaviest depositor of the de-
funct bank and will want to be re-
ceiver himself SO that he will be
able to work for his own money.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-12-09

Salisbury stated that there was
not sufficient funds in the hands of
the receiver to pay the amount at
this time, but asked that the amount
be paid out of the first available
funds.
The court refused to make any
order at this time, but stated that
it would attend to the matter later
on.
In the afternoon Chartz was late
and the court ordered the sheriff to
look him up, while the report was
being read by Attorney Salisbury.
While this was going on Chartz en-
tered and apologized to the court
for being late. At the conclusion of
the reading of the final report of
the receiver, Chartz filed his objec-
tions to the section of the report
filed severally and specifically. He
objected to the payment of the sal
airy of the receiver, the payment OF
the attorneys fees, as he claimed
that the attorneys were working for
the benefit of George S. Hall and
not the depositors. The matter OF
the expense bill put in by the attor'
/ neys for the receiver was objected
to as Chartz claimed this should
come out of their salaries.
He interrupted the reading of his
bill of objections every few minutes
to argue the matter he was submit
ting He stated that one passage
was scandalous, baseless and should
be stricken from the report as thu
entire argument was based upol
falsehood and that the attorney
should be allowed no pay whateve
for their work as they had been al
injury to the depositors of the banl
: and then Salisbury objected to tn
attorney making an argument Will
reading the paper. The attorney
for the receiver believed that the
were entitled to the sum of 5000
, for their work.
This covered period Of tim
from before the appointment 0
Hall to the receivership.

GOLDEN WANTS ADAMS
APPOINTED AS RECEIVER

At the conclusion of the reading
of the objections, Chartz filed a pc
tition for the, appointment of ex-
Governor Jewett Adams to the po-
sition of receiver of the bank.
Receiver George Hall was then
placed on the stand and was ques-
toned as to the report filed. He
stated in part that he had received
information that the funds received
from the sale of the produce of the
Jarvis ranch had been sent to Col
den by the foreman and that such
had never been turned over to him
or to the bank. That he did not
know what the amount was and
that he had written to Golden AMI
had not received an answer to his
letter, consequently did not know
what the amount was. Since the
filing of his report he had collected
$187.50 which had been deposited
in the bank. He was asked what
he thought would be reasonable
amount for him to receive as his
monthly salary as receiver, and said
he thought that $3.50 would be fair.
He had drawn during his term the
sum of $1,000 on account, he hav-
ing been employed as receiver since
March %.
Chartz asked Hall what his sal
/ airy was in the bank where he was
employed before he was appointed
receiver and he stated $3.50 per
| month. Boyd objected to the line
! of questioning and was sustained
by the judge saying, 81 will fix his
