4sLAck HAND" MEN IN RUTLAND
Said to Have Warned Attorney to
Keep Out of crociata Case


Rutland. June 4.-That representa-
ives of the notorious Black Hand" so
ciety of New York have been in Rut-
land within the past few days, active
ly pushing the movement for the par
don of Father francesca Crociata. is
the firm belief of the local officers of
the law No official statement has
been given out but it is confidently al
legged that a prominent attorney in
this city has been warned by members
of the celebrated organization to keep
his hands of the case, with threats of
being made away with" if he inter
fered with the petition.
The story comes straight enough.
Two strangers called at the house of
correction, so the story goes, and saw
Father Crociata, also Giovanni Gioia.
To the latter, it is said, they made the
significant remark that if he-the at
torney-made move to oppose the
opVhhiih pTAlGOiit HC NOulu DC put
out of the way The attorney placed
no faith in the story merely stating
that if such people wanted to see aim,
they could do so at his office If they
approached him on the street at night
or made the slightest move to act, he
would shoot them down as he would
a dog
AS to opposing the petition, ne is
doing nothing of the kind but, when
he heard that Mayor Carpenter had
been approached in Crociatas behalf,
he determined to warn him of Just
what the petition meant, and going to
the mayor with deputy Sheriff, he
told him what he knew of the case. 1t
is known that the petition does not in
clude many of the significant feat
ures of the Crociata case.
The two strangers. who are said to
have threatened the attorney left
town on Wednesday probably on the
morning train, and are thought to be
still in the state.
The county and local officers have
been advised of their probable char
acter and their movements are close
ly watched
Father francesca Crociata it will be
remembered. was convicted of com
plicity in the murder of Accarito San
toro at 80 bridge" largely on the ties
timony of Lena Black. During the
progress of the trial of Vito Turcanna
John ID. Spellman who is now circulat-
ing the petition for the pardon of Gro
ciata argued vita his eloquence, that
Turcianna was a mere dupe and tool
in the hands of Francesca Crociata,
the arch conspirator" of the Sanford
murder and that the priest was the
guiding and controlling spirit of the
whole infamous plot
That he should now be advocating
with the same brilliant and foresnic
rhetoric, the deserving character of
the afflicted priest. now confined in
the house of correction for planning
the Sanford killing, is causing many
smiles among the lawyers of the city
particularly among those who follow
ed with any particular care the Turci-
anna trial.

MOUNTAIN MELTs sNoWeANK
Gone in 48 Hours from Mount Elliott
Volcanic Action Suspected

Grand Junction, Col, June 5-An
immense snow bank, sixty feet deep,
lying on the slope of Mount Elliott, a
13,O00-foot peak in Southwestern Col
orado, has melted within eight hours
and an immense column of steam is
rising from the spot The cloud of
steam is visible for miles. 1t is be-
lieved by those familiar with the noun
tain that the phenomenon is caused
by volcanic disturbance.
A mine located near the basin and
worked years ago was abandoned be-
cause of the intense heat encountered
in the lower levels. The deep snow
on the mountainside prevents close

GOOD REPORT ON
ELY RESURRECTION

Ely Resurrection people have been
much encouraged through a report
made on that property by e. w.
Grifiths at the request of Salt Lake
interests in the organization. Mr..
Grifiths subsequent to this examina-
ton became personally interested in
the Morfoot group of claims, with
the result that with his associates he
took over this property and has since
organized upon it the Ely Centen-
NAL, which gives promise of prom
inence a little later on the markets.
Il find that n property consists
of t%hirty-two patented claims, or
nearly 600 acres of ground" says
Mr.. Griffiths in his report on Ely
Resurrection. 1.-THE formation shows
a lime Gaping, and where the lime
has eroded away the characteristic
porphyry of the district is exposed,
and in every instance the porphyry
carries copper values.

traced from the Nevada Consolidated

where it is exposed on Monte Cristo,

phyry contact, five feet of which is

turned these values: Copper, Sc per

A freight team pulled out of here

Mason Valley News, with a load of
heavy timbers for casing the we'll

The night shift at the Mason Val
ley was temporarily laid off, and a
part of the rev goes to Wabuska

smelter site, several were transferred
to day shift and some were let out
until such time as the night shift
is put on again.
air at the mine, and the superintend-
ent states that as 500 as they are
completed the full night shift will be
reinstated. In the meantime just as
many men as can be used there will
be employed on the well to be sunk
at the smelter site. The site select
ed for developing the water is along
the foothills, on the highest portion
of the 1900 or more acres that were
bought by the Mason Valley COM
pany and fenced in there last winter.
A part of the smelter grounds con-
sists of the tract of ground purchas-
ed of Mrs. Gruber, on which are To-
Gated the famous flowing hot springs,
the title to which went with the land
to the mining company. 1t is desir-
ed to get away from the low, marshy
territory in sinking the permanent
we'll for supplying the entire smell
ter works, and there is very little
doubt about an abundance of water
being encountered at a reasonable
depth.
1t is necessary to develop a supply
of water that will stand a maximum
drain of 500 gallons a minute, as
that is the estimated greatest on
sumption that may be expected by
the continued smelter workings,
when the plant is in full blast and
running to full capacity. The Wei
will be dropped down 8x10 feet in
dimensions, and to whatever depth
may be found necessary to develop
the required supply of 500 gallons
every sixty seconds.
AS there have never been any un-
derground explorations made in the
vicinity of the hot springs, it is pos
siDle that this well may cause some
disclosures as to the course of the
perpetual flow of boiling water.

r. ". HULsE & co. LETTER.

The particular feature OF an ex-
ceedingly bright Local and Salt Lake
market was Ely Calumet. There
was an unusual demand for this new
issue from Salt Lake City and ad-
vices from brokers there is to the eff
feet that the public has turned its at
tention from the Tintics to the Ely
stocks. The effect of these advices
has already found it's way into the
local market and the general demand
for Ely stocks is increasing with each
day. Salt Lake traders yesterday
kept the wires hot in their efforts for
the other local issues. The days
quotations saw Nevada Consolidated
holding firm position around
$29.37H. The issue opened at
$29.87k, passed the noon market at
$3.50 and closed at $29.37k ". Cum
berland, like Nevada Con-, closed at
it's figures of the day before, $500.
Giroux reached the predicted $12
mark and found much favor in the
days transactions. Mason Valley
took an upward turn and closed in a
manner that is indicative of a better
figure before long. Boston Ely eased
OH a trifle, although it closed strong
at it's mark of-tne previous day.

The Elys were there again yester-
day with strength and %buoyancy.
Giroux led in advance, crossing the
$12 mark. 1t looks like a level that
it will hold above in future. The
metal market is stronger than in
many months, a good deal of this
now being attributed to recent buy
ing orders. The advance made by
United Metals appears to have had
effect in hurrying consumers, or in
bringing realization that the ex-

of so miles an hour in a big railroad
car, without smoke and dirt and dust,

it and keep Clapp explaining why he
