THE ELY--GOLOF|ELD RAILWAY
California Paper Says Project Is
Still Alive and Believes Deal
Will Go Through

The Pacific Miner says it is interest
ing to note that the project Of building
a railroad from Goldfield to Ely, Ne
vada, is still alive, and that those who
have the project in hand still hope TO
put the deal through. For nearly q
year they have been engaged on gather
ing data relative to ore tosnages at
at Hamilton. Tybo, Reveille and other
camps along the line Of the proposed
road. and the work has now been COM
pleted and the data in the hands of
those interested in financing the pro-
jeot.
When the enterprise was first broach-
ed few years ago, Ely put damper
on it by refusing to grant a franchise
to the road through the city. but this
opposition has been overcome and the
city is now not only willing to grant
right of way. but the citizens are
willing to help matters along by liberal
subscriptions.
The building Of this road is q matter
Of vital interest to the mining districts
through which it will pass, and it
is to bs hoped that every assistance will
be given it in the hopes of the projectors
become a reality.
A connecting road from Ely through
the Deep Creek country to Salt Lake
City would no doubt be built if the Ely
Goldfield project goes through. This
will have the effect Of converting the
roads into part of trans-continental
system. with far-reachiDg effects on the
Nevada transportation situation. Such
road would afford an outlet for the
ores Of Ely to either Salt Lake or
Needles, California. Then a 16-mile
road from Eureka to connect with the
main line would afford an outlet for the
large tonnage of fuxing ore that has
been developed in the Richmond -Eu-
reka mine by the United States Smelt.
ing Company.
Nevada needs railroads more than
anything else in order to develop her
mineral resources. Let us wish that
she will have many of them.

Waltz" won the fancy of young King
Manuel of Portugal. Mile. des Lis made
a sensation in Berlin and Paris by her
Japanese dancing. Manuel, on a pleas.
ure trip to the French capital. saw the
girl and promptly went mad over her.
He brought her to Lisbon and was seen
every where in public with her.
Caue Her All She Desired
This might have done no great harm
in his subjects eyes. but he proceeded
to heap rich presents upon her, to load
her down with jewels and to buy her
everything her tickle fancy happened
to crave.
Times were hard. People were clam
oring for work. Hunger was more than
a mere name in Portugal. When starv-
men and women beheld the Kings
sweetheart ablaze with diamonds whose
price was wrung from the State and
whose equivalent 10 food might have
saved many a life. trouble set in. The
Nation murmured. The King was deaf
to the growing voice of complaint and
spent more and more money on Mile.
des Lis.
100000 Would SaUe LiUes
Members of the bankrupt Nation did
not enjoy seeing $500. 900 worth of jew
els taken by King to foreign dancer.
THAT is the sum Manuel is said to have
spent on Nile des Lis).
The people. too, who had been turned
into the streets to starve. growled
when they heard that huge suite OF
rooms in the Royal Palace had been as
signed to the Jiu Jitsu girl. Sticklers
for morality aud etiquette were shocked
to learn that Mile. des Lis accompanied
the King on all his travels.
But Manuel continued to perform the
world-old kingly feat Of dancing on a
volcano. His favorite holiday was
Paris. There so riotously gay was he
that the French police were forced to
take him in tow and to close various
famous local resorts whenever he was
in the city.
Minister'S Tried to Explain
The young Kings minist ers tried to
gloss over his antics, meeting the pub
lie protests with assurances that this
was last bachelor fling" aud that
presently Manuel would marry and set
tie down into paragon of royal pro-
priety.
The excuse did not serve. Manuel
continued to spend most OF his time
with Mile. des Lis. shutting his ears to
all complaints.
AS in the case of Henry VII OF France
and other royalties in the same tastes,
the "fling" lasted just trifie longer
than did the sorely tried patience OF the
people. Manuel awoke to find himself
kicked of his throne and to know he
had thrown away a kingly career at the
feet of dancing girl.

London, Sept. 21.-Dr. nawley H.
Crippen and his typist. Ethel Glare
Leneve, today were formally commit
ted for trial for the murder of the
formers wife Cora Belle Crippen,
the American actress, who was known
on the stage as Belle Elmore. The
doctor is charged as the principal,
and his companion as an accessory af-
ter the fact.
For some time the magistrate in the
Bow Street Police Court has been
hearing the evidence offered by the
Crown, and at the conclusion of these
preliminary proceedings today an
nounced that he would hold Crippen
on the capital charge, and added that
he felt that the evidence was suffi-
cient for him to commit Miss Leneve
for trial as an accessory after the
fact. When the prosecution had con-
cluded the magistrate proposed to set
aside another day upon which Solici-
tor Arthur Newton, who is represent
ing both Of the accused, might make
any statement he wished on behalf of
the defense. Mr.. Newton. however,
after saying few words in favor of
Miss Leneve, who, he contended,

NOTHING DECIDED YET
Counsel for Lorimer Makes Plea fol
Postponement at Investigation

arguments for and against postpon-

until after the November election
the senatorial committee adjourned
it's first formal session today until
tomorrow morning, without deciding
any of the questions presented to it.
The plea for postponement of the
hearing was made Dy Attorney Ell
bridge Hanecy, counsel for Senator
Lorimer, and was based on the asser-
tion that to continue the hearing
while two criminal cases are pending
involving similar subjects would be
unfair to Senator Lorimer, vino wishes
to call llthedefendants-Minority the Lead
er Lee O'Neil Browne and State Sem
ator John Broderick-as witnesses be-
fore the committee. Attorney Hanecy
also urged that many OF the State leg
islators who voted for Senator Lorim-
er were now seeking reelection, and
that to compel them to leave their
districts to testify before the COM
mittee would be hardship on them,
and that the testimony given before
the committee would be Used for po-
litical purposes and not simply to ar
rive at the truth.
