TOM LANE MARRIED.
Considerable Publicity Given to His
Second Marriage.

The San Francisco papers of re-
cent date gave considerable space TO
the second matrimonial venture of I.
7. Lane, who spent considerable time
and money in this district about II
years ago. Mr.. Lane came to Ely as
the representative of his father,
Charles ID. Lane, and had charge of
the development of the Chairman
mines and the erection of the mill on
that property. The elder Lane took
an option on the Chairman ground
near Lane City from W. N. McGill
and associates when the property
had the appearance of being one of
the big gold mines of the state and
after stream of the yellow metal
had been run from the old mill.
Young Tom. as he was Familiarity
called, tried a newell experiment in
the way of conducting the develop
ment of the mine up the canyon
from the card tables down town and
the remarkable feature of this ex-
pertinent was that it was not success
full and after many thousands of dol
lars had been expended, the enter
prise was abandoned.
Mr.. Lane returned to his home in
California and took advantage of
every opportunity to condemn the
Chainman property in particular and
the whole district in general and
few years later when the big copper
PEOPLE became interested in the dis
nict, Mr.. Lane predicted that their ef-
iorts would prove as unsuccessful as
lis. Following his mining ventures,
Mr.. Lane became a raeehorse en-
husiast and was always to be found
at the California tracks, where he
soon established a reputation for his
wonderful judgment in picking
losers and this pastime cost him a
neat fortune and much financial en-
bafrassment.
It was while Mr.. Lane was separ-
atilg himself from his money on the
rae tracks that his first wife di-
voiced him, which went to show that
as failure, Tom was a great sue
cess in the mining, racing and matri-
molial lines.

ARE PREPARING TO TAKE
TREASURES FROM EARTH

The observant eyes of any think
ing man will not be long in giving
voice to the tongue in answering the
question as to why do American
brain and Drawn carry everything be-
fore them in South America and in
Mexico, causing jealousy and envy be-
cause of their wonderful success in
every sort of enterprise. when permit
ted TO rest on the forms and faces of
the men of the Giroux mines. Some
fifty of them are led and nourished
at the Giroux boarding house fitting
them for their daily toll. They are
fine specimens of the character of the
workmen engaged by the company in
preparing for the taking from the
earth its treasures. Big, brawny
and evidently brainy fellows are they.
The treasures of the soil have called
them from the ends of the world; for
all nations are represented up there.
They propose TO take from the bowels
of earth that which digging and dely-
ing and ditching and putting through
fire and water will transform into
commercial copper. At present the
result of their toll is passing through
the laboratory only. 1t is preparatory
in every sense. The probability is
that the red metal will not be on the
market till late next summer. But
the characer and quality of the work
preparatory thereto are of the best
that the mind of men have devised.
During the past week at Kimberly
representative of the Fred NJ. Pres
colt Steam Pump Co, of Milwaukee
has been putting the finishing touches
TO the setting of the steam pipes that
are being located on the 1200-foot
station of the Giroux shaft. The en-
gine and boiler house have been roof
ed with corrugated iron and they are
now tight so as not to admit of the
entrance of the winter SHOWS. The
crank shaft of the 20x4S inch geared
hoist was placed on Thursday on its
concrete foundation. All the flooring
is of concrete The first motioned
duplex hoist is 26x4S inches, and the
workmen are now placing the parts
of the 26x4S inch engine on the foun-
dation and 1t is now in course of
completion.
The concrete floor 10 the boiler
house was laid the past week, The
boiler feed pumps were grouped into
position on Tuesday last

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED.

The steam shovel pit of the Nevada
Consolidated Mining company con-
tinues TO turn out the ore at the rate
of from 5000 to 10000 tons a day
and the ore trains are piling down
the high line day and night. In the
pit six steam shovels are constantly
at work, two of them being in the
ore and the remainder being en-
gagged in scooping out the overbur-
den. The water supply which has
been short is being made up from
the waste of the Eureka shaft of the
Ely Central. At the Liberty pit
across the western hill there is one
steam shovel at work, but it is not
expected that there will be any pro-
duction from that working until the
spring.
At the present time there does not
seem to be any possibility for a
shortage during the winter months,
for the reason that the work of the
coneentrator Is so far ahead of that
of the smelter with the result that
there is a large supply of coneen-
trates on hand.

JUDGE! !! z; e::;;'.ntY
Visits IN ELY
PROMINENT ATTORNEY FOR
MERLY IDENTIFIED WITH IN
TRANSACTS BUSINESS HERE

Among the visitors in Ely this week
was Judge A. Z. Cheney of Reno, who
spent a couple of days in the district
on legal matters. The judge is we'll
known to many of the old timers in
the eastern part of the state, having
been associated in the law business
for a number of years with the late
Thomas Wren, who was considered
by far the peer of the mining lawyers
of the west for more than quarter
of a century. The firm of Wren &
Cheney had charge of the legal de-
partment of the Richmond Mining
company in Eureka county, when that
property along with the Eureka Con-
solidated were considered the great
est leadsilver producers in the Uni
ted States. For a number of years
those two properties were in con-
stant litigation with each other and
the expenses incurred by the nu-
merous suits ran into the millions as
the best legal talent that could be
secured was always in the court
room and the cases invariably went to
the supreme court and many of the
authorities that are read in present
day mining cases, were originally rem
dered by the supreme court in the
famous Richmond VS.. Eureka Con-
solidated decisions.
Mr.. Cheney's firm participated in
all of the prominent lawsuits in this
and Lincoln counties for a number of
years and his visits into this section
were frequent. When the copper
boom came on in the Ely district a
few years ago, Mr.. Cheney was a
large holder of mining ground in this
section, being one of the owners of
the properties now belonging to the
Coppermines. Ely Northern, Turner
Ely and Hidden Treasure companies.
He was also interested In Pilot Knob
claim, now owned by the Giroux Con-
solidated and on which that COM
pany's mill now stands and 1t was one
of the first claims purchased by
Joseph l.. Giroux. when he became
identified with this district
During Mr.. Cheney's recent visit,
he expressed his amaZement at the
wonderful changes that have taken
place in this section in the last few
years and ventured the opinion that
it will not be long before Ely will be
classed with the greatest of the cop
per producing districts.

BANKERS ARE DISCHARGED.
Supreme Court Gives Opinion Il
Eureka Bank Case.

Eureka Bank Case.
In the cases of Oscar J. smith, Bert
Smith and w. E. Grimm, who were
indicted by the Eureka county grand
jury under the recent banking act,
defendants were discharged on writs
of harbeas corpus in an opinion by
the supreme court. The court sus-
tanned the constitutionality of the
banking act, but found that the indi-
ctments did not sufficiently plead a
crime under the statute.
1t is provided in the act that any
officer or director of an incorporated
bank who has authority to close the
bank or prevent the reception of de-
posits and does not exercise such au-
thority and prevent the receipt of de-
posits when he knows the bank is in
solvent shall be deemed guilty of hav-
ing assented to the reception of de-
posits. and a punishment of one to
ten years imprisonment is provided.
The indictments failed TO allege, and
ii was not claimed by counsel for the
state. that these officers of the bank
had any specific authority from the
stockholders or board of directors to
close the bank or prevent the re-
ception of deposits. The court holds

GOES TO ANACONDA.

AL Campbell. the genial foreman of
the Nevada Northern round house,
has rendered his resignation to the
company and will soon leave for An
aconda, Montana, where he has ac-
cepted responsible and lucrative po-
sition with the Washoe Smelling COM
pany. AL is a general favorite in
railroad circles, having occupied his
present position for the past four
years, and his departure is matter
of regret among his associates and
friends. Mrs. Campbell is also held
in high esteem, having been active in
church and social circles of East Ely,
and in these gatherings in the future
she will be greatly missed. They
have a host of friends to wish them
well in their return to the familiar
scenes of Anaconda.

that thele Is nothing in the indict-
ment nor the language of the statute
which makes an officer of an incor-
porated hank criminally liable simply
because such officer knows that the
bank is insolyent and without any
thing beng done on his part, deposits
are being received by some other Of
ficer or person for the bank, when he
has no specific authority to close the
bank o. prevent the reception of de-
posits and takes no part in the re-
ceptioI of the same.

OIL TO TAKE THE PLACE
OF COAL AT SHELTER.

During the recent visit of C.
b. Lakenan, general manager of
the Steptoe Valley smelter, to
San Francisco. arrangements
were perfected with the
, Standard Oil company. where
by oil will be substituted
for coal throughout the big
works at McGill. The change
will be made early in the new
year and the reverberatory will
be the first department to adopt
the new process and gradually 1t
will be installed in the other
parts of the plant.
At the present time, oil is be-
ing used almost exclusively In
all the big reduction works in
Cananea,. Mexico, and has prov
en- such a success that the Ray
Consolidated and Chino Copper
companies will erect their plants
with the view of using oil, as II
is far more economical and a
higher temperature can be at
tanned and the heat can be appli-
ed to those particular parts
where 1t is desired by the use of
} steam jets.
Where equal amounts of
coal and oil are used, the
latter will furnish so
per cent more heat than the
former and when il is known
that the plant at McGill will con-
sumo from 1900 to 1900 barrels
of oil each day, it can be readily
seen that an immense saving
will be made by the change. Mr.
Fitzgerald. manager of the fuel
oil department of the Standard
Oil company will visit McGill in
the near future and will spend
considerable time in the smelter
} town while the oil burning ma
} chinery is being installed.

NOTHING NEW IN
CENTRAL NATTER
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS RE-
PORTED IN MATTER OF RE-
ORGANIZATION OF LOCAL MN
ING COMPANY.

The Ely Central imbroglio contin-
ues to be the most discussed topic in
the local mining world and while
those who are taking the most in
terest in the ill-fated company's af-
fairs are suggesting numerous rem
edies for bringing about a satisfac-
tory solution that will disentangle 1t
from the legal and financial troubles
in which 1t has been thrown during
the last few weeks, yet nothing has
been accomplished.
From all accounts there is a lack
of harmony existing among those
who originally undertook to straight
en- out the affairs of Ely Central and
this will necessarily complicate mat
ters to a great extent and will have
the effect of prolonging the litigation
that must arise as conditions from
time to time change.
The recent visit OF Lee Glockner,
who for a number of months was
general manager of the company, to
New York, failed to bring about the
desired results, as matters were in
such shape both here and in the east
that he was unable to proceed along
any we'll defined lines.
During the week the local situa-
tion has changed in the removal of
the attorneys for the receiver. Chand-
Ter & Quayle were appointed by Mr..
Millard. the receiver, and suit was
brought by Attorneys Belford and
Lockhart for the company and cred
itors for the removal of both the re-
ceiver and his attorneys. This re-
suited in the loss of the former suit
and in the winning of the latter. The
argument was that the attorneys
were the local representatives of the
Nevada Consolidated as well as the
Nevada Northrn railroad. whose in
terests were diametrically opposed to
those of Ely Central.
Ii has been long known In the dis
trict that the Nevada Consolidated
wants certain rights of way across
the Juniper and other claims of Ely
Central, and it looked to the court
as II the appointment of the big COM
pany's attorneys was too long step
In this direction. and that their po-
sition in the double capacity of legal
advisers for the railroad and the Ne
Ndud anu aioo W hhN
Ely Central was untenable.
As the result of the action of the
court in removing Messrs. Chandler
& Quayle as attorneys for the re-
ceiver. Mr.. Millard yesterday appoint
ed Gilbert f. Boreman TO act as his
legal adviser in the Ely Central mat
ter.
When the Hon. Samuel Belford
was interviewed last evening by a
News correspondent as to whether
any action would be taken To have
the receiver removed, Mr.. Belford
stated that as long as the receiver
conducted the affairs of the company
along legitimate and conservative
lines. no such action would be taken,
but that he was still of the opinion
that the appointment of receiver
was a useless expense and one that
could very well have been avoided.

GOING TO WATER LEVEL.

The Boston Ely is still sinking for
the water level where it is expected
that he ore will be found. Just how

rate. They are going to sink to the
