Is Greatly Pleased With Results on Ely Central

o. A. Turner, president of the Ely
Central, and the man who made Tono-
pah, has been in the district for several
days past, locking over his various
interests here and of course giving
most of his attention to the Ely Cen
trail. To say that Mr.. Turner ~ pleas
ed with that property is putting it
mildly. He has been away from here
for several months and great changes
have taken place in that time.
eff the showings on the Monarch and
Clipper claims of the Ely Central had
been found in Butte or any other cop
per camp" said Mr.. Turner, "they
would have gone wild over it, AS it
is, it is pretty good to have it right
here. 1 look for the development of
a considerable ore body, especially on
the Clipper, where they have crosscut
the vein for 20 feet, and are now drift
ing on the ore. 1t has always been a
principle of mine to follow the ore
wherever 1 found it, and that is what
is going to be done in the case of the
Clipper and Monarch We will go
down on the incline as long as the
ore lasts.
the Eureka Fraction is in splendid con-
dition and 1 am very well satisfied with
the progress that has been made and
the results obtained. 1t is merely a
matter of money, men and time, for we
know that we have the ore. If things
keep on as well as they are going at
present, nobody connected with the
company will have any regrets.
Il am glad to say that some of my
predictions regarding the camp are COM
ing true. 1 went on record here a long
time ago with prediction that large
bodies of ore would be found on the
edge of the lime or in the contact of
the lime with the porphyry. That
statement seems to have been borne
out on our own property, and they
seem to have found the porphyry in the
Boston Ely. 1t looAs to me from all
that I can learn of that property that
they are in fair way to get the ore
with further development. They have
also developed ore on the Giroux Con-
solidated in the bottom of the Alpha
shaft and I am informed that they
have just found native copper at the
bottom of a drill hole on the Richard
claim of that property.
1.-THE steam shovel pit of the Nevada
Consolidated has undergone a won
derful change since last I saw it, and
they are getting the ore nearer to the
Ely Central ground every day. They
have sunk drill holes between the edge
of the pit and the sideline of the Eu-
reka fraction, and have got the ore
at a depth of 165 feet This brings
the ore 200 feet nearer to the Ely
Central. Then to the south they are
getting closer to the Chispy and Quar-
tette claims of our ground, and are not
more than 800 feet from the Chispy,
taking out the ore all the time. The
contact of the rhyolite and the
porphyry stands out just as plain as
day on the eastern side of the pit, the
rhyolite coming right down on the ore
This is dipping into our Eureka frac-
tion, and that we will get the ore there

The State reserved the right to
cross examine.
State Adjutant General Tulley
Brown was then called. He was for
merly United States district attorney.
He described how COL Cooper agreed
not to send the note to Carmack. He
said that after Col. Cooper and Robin
left the office he remained and discuss
ed italian literature with Mr. Brad
ford.
eve were talking.' he said,
"when the 'phone rang. Bradford
answered. I saw his face grow white,
and he said: MY God.' I asked him
what it was, and he said Senator Car
mack had shot Robin, and Robin had
killed Carmack.
J. C. Bradford, Robins law part
ner. was the next witness. He and
Col. Cooper married sisters. He told
how Governor Patterson 'phoned for
him the morning Of the tragedy. He
said that he took the note Cooper had
written and "agreed to send friend
to see Senator Carmack-to send Col.
Shook. a close friend Of both Of us
to urge a peaceful settlement. -
"Wihat became Of the note?"
II do not know, it is missing.'
4 copy Of the note as published IN
the American was admitted as evl-
dence.
AS to answering Col. Cooper's call
on the 'phone, Bradford testified that
he was accustomed To answering the
phone.
"Senator Carmack came to my Of
flee frequently, as / was one OF his
supporters,'' said Bradford. "He
paid frequent social calls, and Robin
met and talked to him often.'
Bradford said on crosS-eSamination
that he was counsel for the Nashville
American and stockholder in the
paper.
Several questions were asked about
a statement for the press alleged to
have been given to Mr.. Ewing, editor
Of the American, and sent to the AS
sociated Press.
Bradford said he dictated no such
statement, but that Ewing got some
facts from him.
"Didn't You say when discussing
the effect Of the shooting on Robin
Cooper's future that it would not ar
feet him and that YOU would take him
on vour arm and carry him through
it?"
**I certainly believed in the boys
innocence. and probably said J. would
take him on my arm and carry him
through. Whether I said it or not, l
propose to do it. -
Attorney General McCarn reverted
again to the composite statement pre-
pared at the police station for the
press the night Of the tragedy, but
the witness denied having any part IN
it outside of his own contribution OF
suchfact as The knew personally.
"Didn't you instead Of trying to
keep COL. Cooper from sending that
note, tell several men you were 60
ing to deliver it to Carmack IN person
for the colone!?"
IT never did"
In order to save time iile State and
defence agreed upon a statement Oh
facts as to the plat of the vicinity Oh
the crime, the distances and measure
ments.
Albert E. Hill was called to corro-
borate a single point in the evidence
Yesterday of J. Benning as to where

WINES MADE IN COMET
YEARS VALUED HIGHLY
Grape Growers Anticipate APP
pearance of HaIIey's Comet

The comet known as Halley's is ac-
cording to the late count de Pontecu-
liant. due to appear next year. The ap-
pearances of the comet have been traced
with greater or less probability from
Chinese records to the year II B. c..
HALEY, the son of a soap boiler, was
born at Haggerston in 1856 and re-
ceived his primary education at St.
Pauis school, proceeding thence to
Queens college, oxford. but left the
university without degree.
His astronomical researches com
menced in his teens and he made his
first communication to the Royal So
ciety before he was 20. His contribu-
tions to science were great and mani
fold. but he is best known from his
connection with comets. He inferred
from his computations that the comets
of 1881, 1907 and 1882 were in reality
the same body, and predicted it's return
In 1853, prediction which was verified
by its appearance on Christmas day Of
that year. Since then it has been known
as Halley's comet, and it's last appear
ance was in 1885. He died at Greenwich
in 1742.
Being within measurable distance OF
the temperance of Halleys comet re-
minds us that wine of superior quality
is known as comet wine.'' A notion
prevails that grapes i'm comet years are
better in flavor than in other years.
This may be because the weather is
warmer and ripens them better. Or il
may be that the comets themselves ex-
ercise some chemical properties over
them. Thus the wines of the years 1911,

LIBRARIANS TROUBLED
ABOUT STORING BOOKS
British Museum Removes Part
of Its Accommodations

Goethe asked for more light; the
librarian overwhelmed with the cease
less flow of books. asks for more space.
1t is stated that the custodians of
the Bodleian library are preparing to
store part of their books in the under
ground cellars; the British museum felt
the difficulty some years ago, and
moved a large number of books and
newspapers down to a new building
at Hendon. (There is a large pond at
Hendon; but the museum authorities
have no present intention. we believe,
of drawing upon it's ample If somewhat
damp accommodation.) The ifreverent,
it is understood, laugh at the idea of
preserving such trash; and most of
1t is, indeed, worthless. But let them
once get into their heads the idea
OF writing novel, or even pamphlet,
and they will clamor for every scrap
of printed paper in the kingdom to
be preserved. that among thousands
of others their name may also become
immortal. They have their reward, in
the tenth of an inch on the British
museum shelves, and the same by no
means excessive amount OF space, in
the huge catalogue. There they may
repose peacefully, bound up in a volume
of pamphlets, or accommodating dust
among thousands of miscellaneous
novels-"the world forgetting and by
the world forgot" Perhaps some fu-
ture student of contemporary minutiae
may have them down once, and glance
casually through their pages, before
dismissing them briefly in a footnote
of his prize essay as worthless" But
after all they have done some good:
they have helped printers to live

USERS COMPLAIN OF
CHARGES FOR WATER
Leakages From Fixtures Cause,
Saws Oakland Company

OAKLAND, Sept. 22.--Leakages from
fixtures are responsible in many cases
for high charges for water consumers
who have meters. according to the
testimony given tonight at a meeting
of the special commission on water
oyercharges by George III. Wilhelm, as
sistant engineer OF the Peoples water
company, and Frank O'Brien, the COM
pany's meter expert. They declared
that leakages were often permitted for
weeks by users of water, and that the
total quantity OF water wasted in this
way was enough to affect the meter
readings considerably at the end of
each month.
Further testimony was taken to show
that water rates had increased greatly
in cases where meters had been In
stalled. II. III. Clark testified that his
monthly bill had increased from $2.U5
to $6.10. He said that he needed the
water he is now using to maintain lis
lawn.
J. H. Dockweiler. water expert for
the city Of Oakland, recommended the
adoption OF a rate that would en-
courage the maintenance Of lawns at
the expense OF other users OF water.
The commission will take testimony
until next Tuesday evening Council
man Elliot suggested an ordinance to
fix responsibility for leakages.
