Earth CRACKS Open and
SWALLOWS UP CATTLE

ELY, New, April 25.-Crevasses from
two to six feet in width, twenty feet
in depth and of great length have ap
peared during the past twenty-four
hours on the smooth plain of >Jake's
Valley, twenty-five miles west of Ely.
The have filled rapidly with
water and cattle have persisted. Thus
far the r%anchers in that section have
head of stock, search is in progress
and it is not known how many have
persisted. 1t is not believed that any
lives have been lost. Almost without
warning the ground has opened up
during the past twenty-four hours.
This action has been preceded by
rumbling noises and "a trembling of
the ground as if by earthquake.
This startling news was sent into
Ely from Illipah by Robert Burke of
the government forestry service this
morning. 1t. was received by Royal
+. Matthias, chief of the service in this
district.
The cattle lost were the property of
Captain Norman and John Magnuson,
the latter of the Nevada Meat com
pany.
Much apprehension is felt among the
residents of Jake's Valley, not SO much
for their personal safety as to that of
the hundreds of head of stock now
grazing in that section.
One of the unexplainable mysteries
of the strange action of nature is the
appearance of water in the crevasses.
1T is believed here the crevasses are
of greater depth than reported by For
ester Burke and that investigation will
show that the rents in the earth are
of much greater depth, and that prob
ably the water is from a subterranear
stream.
In the meantime the cattle grazing
in the valley are being driven to high
err ground away from present LANCER
AMI the scene of further trouble.

Hills MAY
HAVE MILL SOON

William III. Weber, general manager,
and George wingield, who is scheduled
to become president of the Nevada
Hills ompan after the consolidation
with the Fairview Eagle company is
ratified by stockholders accompanied
by a prominent mill man, are now at
the property in Fairview of the Ne
vada Hills company. This visit prom

and local stockholders are pleased that
these interests are going after the
proposition without loss of time.
Mill installation is possible now that
the Nevada Wonder company soon is to
provide electrical power for this and
other Fairview mines. At the present
time the Nevada Wonder is utilizing
two traction engines for the task IF
Transporting about 800 tons of machin-
cry from the railroad point of Fallon
to the site of the power plant. A large
consignment of pipe is now being haul
ed to Horse Creek, and this style of
transportation is one of the features
of the day In that section of Nevada,
IS complete success is attending these
operations.
What it means to the Nevada Hills
company to have its own mill and what
explains the disposition of the manage
ment in the past in keeping the ore
shipments down to the quick, is that
the company will save about $25 per
ton on all ore treated over anG above
direct shipments to the market. 1t has
cost the company about $50 per ton to
haul it's ore to the railroad, to pay rail
road freight and smelling charges, so
Tie company certainly has acted wisely
in conserving its resources for stock
holders until the logical time arrived
for the production on a big scale. Lat
est reports from the Nevada Hills are
to the effect that developments at depth
are very gratifying.

KNIGHT CASE
TO TRIAL
QUICKLY

district Judge Somers this afternoon
received a message from Carson stat
ing that in the Bart Knight ct al. Ease
the supreme court had rendered a de-
cision dissolving the writ of temporary
prohibition and remanding the action
for trial. The Indictment involves NJ.
j. Smith and Jake %Hildebrandt, as well
as Knight, and the Ealing applies to
those eases as well as The one against
the Goldfeld constable. District Attor.
ney Tilden stated this afternoon that
the case against Smith would probs bly,
be tried first coming up about the last
of May, and that it would be in the
nature of a test action with the inter
ests of the remaining defendants at
issue.
Through his attorney, F. J. Hankey,
Knight sought to nave the action
against him dismissed on the ground
that the district court had no jurisdic-
ton to determine the case inasmuch as
the defendants preliminary examina-
ton was not concluded in the justice
court before being dealt with by the
grand jury. Judge Somers denied the
motion holding that the determination
of the justice was not necessary to give
the inquisitorial body jurisdiction and
further that the grand jury might take
original jurisdiction of all felonies com
mitted in Esmeralda county.
The defendant then applied to the
supreme court for a writ of prohibition
against Judge Somers to prevent him
from proceeding with the trial. A TEN.
porary writ was issued and in due time
the matter was argued and submitted,
the decision, however, being handed
down within a more brief time han was
expected. F.

WORK TOGETHER

San Francisco, Cal.-With the ad-
jomnment OF the first Pacific Coast
Congress, which concluded It's sessions
here, have come plans for its exp2n'
sion as an agency for the up-building

a commercial standpoint, but from
the standpoint Of protection against a
foreign foe, are these plans now con-
sidered necessary.
The meeting which extended over a
period of three days, was intended
more for the formation of the body
than for actual, positive accomplish
ment.
Governor Gillette, of California, was
chosen president, and ten vice-presi
dents named, one from each of the ter
states and territories represented.
Portland was chosen as the meeting
place of the second convention of the

INSURGENTS Lose
IN GRANGE BATTLE
Wives Arrayed Against Hus-
bands in BaIIoting on
Fight fer Control.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE move by
the insurgents for access to the books
of the National Grange to secure evil
dence of alleged reckless use of funds
Of the organization met defeat after
the debate, in which the hostile forces
put forth their best speakers.
Worthy Master He.me, of Michigan,
presented the resolution, asking per-
mission to go over the records. Then
speeches were made by Masters
Spence, of Oregon; Kegley, of Wash
ington; Hoyt, OF South Dakota, and
others.
Wives, who according to the law OF
the Grange are given equal franchise
with their husbands, in many cases
voted in opposition to the men when
the standpatters and insurgents fin
ally lined up for the ballot. When
the vote was counted the insurgents
had met with defeat in their first
move to wresI the control from the
present administration.
Cooperation in stores, life and fire
insurance, marketing products, chiefly
occupied the attention of the Grange
prior to the war over the opening Of
the books. Every state master who
reported declared that, where the co
operative plan had been introduced
it was growing in popularity and wa!
saving large sums to the farmers.
