NEARLY READY TO
GRIND GOLD QUARTZ
Elizabeth Mining Company Adds
Expensive Stamp Mill-First
In Gold Hill Section.

Some telling work has been done
in the Summit mining district this
summer, the principal activities be-
ing on and around the property of
the Elizabeth Gold Hill Mining Com
pany, where thousands Of dollars
have been spent in development work
and excellent showings have been
made
The Elizabeth company has built a
wagon road distance of sixteen
miles at cost of $4,000. or approx
imately $1,000 a mile. This enables
them to take in the machinery they
purchased early in the summer,
which will be housed in a fifty-ton
stamp MILL This will be in operation
within a short time. The company
expects to increase this capacity to
500 tons daily. Mining engineers
claim the company can work out
500 tons of ore a day and not work
the property out in a hundred years.
Not only is the body of ore large,
but the values correspondingly rich
and the stockholders are sanguine of
becoming at no distant day financial
ly independent
The Elizabeth Gold Hill Mining
company is practically home insti-
tuition, most of the stock being held
by local men who are proud of the
showing already made at the prop
erty and are willing to take further
chances by putting RI expensive
machinery to reduce the ores so
abundant and rich in gold, silver,
lead and copper. The Elizabeth is
destined to become one of the best
paying mines in the west and that
within a very short time. The FL
deity Mining company is contem-
plating putting in machinery next
summer and other companits encour-
aged by the excellent showing of tho
Elizabeth and the energy and nerve
shown by the management of that
company in pushing matters to a
successful issue, will also improve
their properties Keep your eye on
Geld Hill.

STREET CARS TO CEMETERY
Right of Way for the Purpose Will
Be Offered the Transport
tation Company.

A street car line from Young's
corner. on Mob Hill boulevard. south
to the cemetery west gate. along
Cemetery road. is wanted by the GEM
etery lot owners and by the public
generally. Most of the property own
ers along that strip of roadway are
ready to give the right of way. In
fact. all but two or three have al
ready signified their willingness. The
question has been placed before them
by j. d. John, cemetery sexton, and
has met with hearty approval 1t
has also been taken up with repre-
sentatives of the street railway COM
pany and the idea has not been re-
jected.
Right of Way on West.
1t has been the intention of the
street railway company to run a line
to the cemetery, in time, the inten-
ton sometime ago being to continue
the Miles avenue line south past
Johnson's corner and enter the ceme-
terry by the east road. No action has
been taken in this regard because of
the fact that the right of way had
not been obtained. It is not improb-
able that the transportation company
will consider the track on the west
road as just as good, particularly II
the residents are ready to turn over
the necessary strip for the tracks.
May Have Funeral Cars.
If the line is constructed North
Yakima may expect to see funeral
car on the street railway and funerals
conducted in that way. The ride to
the cemetery is a long one and for
large part of the year, either IN
cold winter or in hot summer. a most
trying one. The old horse ana car
riage method of transportation Is
admittedly antedated and a funeral
car would be in conformity with
usage in other cities. In any event
such a street car line would be lib
orally patronized. as there is an ever
increasing number of people who go
to the cemetery on Sundays and other
leisure days to attend to the graves
of their dead. With a street car line
the cemtery will become what ceme-
teries are in other cities. in some
sense a park.

WIDOW WANTS HOME SAVED
Washer-Woman With Seven Chill
dren Asks Court to Make Cap
italist Keep Bragain.

Alleging that G. c. Case and wife
Of whom she bought a city lot in 1906
have repudiated their contract and
now seek to have her elected from the
place, Kate Simons, a widow washer
woman with seven children, Saturday
filed in the superior court, a COM
plant asking that the defendants be
made to keep their agreement. The
original purchase, plaintiff alleges,
was nothing but verbal agreement.
Plaintiff declares that in 1905 she
bought from the defendants, lot 16
in block 81 of this city, for $4,000.
She says she agreed to pay for the
property in small amounts from time
to time, from her earnings as washer
woman. To bind the bargain, plaintiff
says, she paid the defendants $25 and
took possession of the place on Oc-
tober 23 of that year. Soon after
wards, she alleges, she begun the
construction of a little house which
when completed, cost her $1S7.50.
Has Paid $155.35.
Plaintiff further alleges she has
paid at different times, sums of money
which amount to $155.35 to the de-
PENDANTS which amount is all that
she could afford without requiring
some of her seven little children to
go without the necessaries of life.
Mrs. Simons declares that the de-
PENDANTS now seek to have her eject
ed from the lot and that she has been
ordered by them, to do so. She prays
the court to require the defendants to
keep their contract by deciding her
the property when she has paid them
the sum originally named. She agrees
to allow the defendants interest at
the rate of 6 per cent.
Attorney H. J. Snively is appearing
for the plaintiff.

Death was due to old age. A good
many years ago Mr.. Tim brock was
a homesteader in the Crab Creek sec

his old army papers. He never sought

home for a long time with Lincoln

FAVORS
COUNTY UNIT PLAN
In Three Speeches Before Yakima
Audiences on the "Irrepress-
IDLE Conflict.

state Senator George +. Cotterill of
Seattle broke all speaking records
Sunday when he addressed three
gatherings in North Yakima on local
option. He opened with morning
address at the Presbyterian church ana
followed with an afternoon address in
the Baptist church, closing with Il
meeting in the Methodist church in
the evening. Senator Cotterill is cam
didate for United States senate on the
democratic ticket against Miles Poin-
dexter, but although a democrat in
partisan matters, he is a prohibitionist
where liquor is concerned.
Senator Cottcrill faVors the county
unit as the basis of the local option
law. He told his auditors Sunday
that the rural dweller was entitled
from every point of view to protec-
ton from the raVages of the traffic
and that in the end farmers would
elect a legislature which would enact
a local option law along these lines.
Senator Cotterill branded the liquor
business as the bone of contention
in an "irrespresSihle conflict which
he said would continue until the last
saloon had been wiped out of exist
ence.

YOUNG WIFE
TRIES SUICIDE
Married Six Weeks, Husband Slaps
Youthful Spouse Who At
tempts to End Life.

Crazed because her husband of six
weeks slapped her and left home in
fit of anger, Mrs. Edward Hill last
evening, shortly before 6 o'clock, at
tempted to take her own life by
drinking carbolic acid and was only
prevented from doing SO by the time
ly intervention Of her sister, Miss
Minnie Nuenhoff. Mrs. Hill was bad
ly burned about the mouth. face and
arms, but, according to the physi-
clans, will recover.
According to her own story, Hill
and his wife quarreled Monday after
noon. after which Hill slapped his
wife in the face and, gathering to-
gether his clothes, bid her goodbye,
saying he was leaving for good. Miss
Nuenhoff, who was IN The room at
the time, noticed her sister take a
the latter's intentions.
Sister Prevents Tragedy.
Springing upon her just as she was
lifting the vial to her lips, Miss Nuen-
hoff knocked the bottle to the floor,
but only after the other had got
about two teaspOonsful of the acid
into her mouth. During the melee
which followed Mrs. Hill was badly
burned about the mouth and arrls by
the acid.
Miss Nuenhoff rushed downstairs
for assistance and returned to find
her sister tearing her burned flesh in
her agony. Doctors Weir John Cam
eron and Bush were summoned and
soon rid the young woman's stomach
of the poison.
Young Hill, who follows the trade
of cigarmal<ing. was not home at the
time. His father. hearing of the
tragedy, found him about to take a
train for Seattle and forced him to
return to his wife.
Ouarrel Not Uncommon.
The quarrel which was directly re
sponsible for the deed was, according
to the proprietor of the house. but
the elimination of the couples in
ability to get along together. the
owner of the house declared that
Sunday the other residents OF the
house were disturbed by the Hill
couple and for that reason, he says.
he notified them Monday that thew
would have to give up the rooms
last night.
The couple have been married only
about six weeks. They have occupied
rooms in the Monterey about half or
that length of time.
Mrs. Hill is probably about IL
years old, while her husband is said
TO be under 81 years.
