A. 7. ". J.. THANKSGIVING BANQUET

Ladies'" Fred A. Rogers; "Our
Thanksgiving" III. w. Edwards. Mr..
Jordon described good fellowship as
the popping of the cork which lets
loose the wine of laughter, the music
to the soul in distress; the leaven of
sorrow and the sunshine in ad-
versity; the lubricant which makes
the world go round, and one of the
strongest of ties that binds men to-
gether.
The evening was passed in the dis
cussion of good things, with music
and song. with clever stories; and 1t
Is needless to say that there was not
one idle or lonely moment during the
four hours which the banquet lasted.

ARE WORKING
ON 1900 LEVEL
CROSSCUT HAS BEEN DRAINED
WITHOUT FURTHER EVIDENCE
OF WATER AND OPERATIONS
ARE RESUMED.

Work has been resumed in the
crosscut at the 1200-foot level on
the Giroux Consolidated, the water
found there having proved to be not
nearly so formidable as was at first
imagined. The water was encoun-
tered at a distance of 325 feet out,
spouting from the drillhole. and II
was thought that the flow had been
struck, although this was not looked
for until a much greater distance had
been attained. During the week the
crosscut has been drained and there
being no more water in evidence II
was determined to resume operations
The crosscut Is headed for the Al
pha ore body, and as soon as the
1400foot level is reached a second
crosscut is to be run from that point
in the same direction. The pumps
at the l1O0-foot are being put rapid
ly into shape, and the next few weeks
will see them in operation. At the
1400-foot level another pump, with
a capacity for lifting 600 gallons a
minute Is to be installed; so that by
the time the full equipment of the
Giroux shaft is completed they will
be ready to handle any kind of flow
which may be encountered.
At the permanent hosting plant
everything is progressing nicely
without interruption. engines and
boilers being In place. The latter arr
being bricked in, and steam connec-
tions are being made. 1t is not ex-
pected that the churn drills will
be operated much longer. the
weather growing too cold. At any
time 1t is expected that the plans re-
garding the erection of concentra-
tor and smelter will be disclosed, for
the time is drawing near, when
preparations for their building musl
be made for the handling of the ore.

YOUNG MOTHER CALLED.
Death Enters McGill Home and Takes
Mrs. Herbold from Loved Ones.

Three motherless children will
miss the care that nature usually
lprovides for the little ones inasmuch
as Mrs. Otto Herbold has been called
away by death from her McGill home
and comparative strangers are now
caring temorarily for the two boys
and eight-year-old girl. Her death
occurred on Sunday afternoon and
that same evening the remains were
removed to the parlors of Nevin q
Graham in Ely. There 1t was that
the Royal Neighbors of America took
charge and the funeral services con-
Quoted on Tuesday evening. The re-
mains were taken on Wednesday to
Brookins, Illinois, the eastern home
of the deceased. The Modern Wood
men of America also took part in the
funeral services out of respect for
the husband of the dead wife, he be-
ing a member of the order. Mrs.
Herbold was only 81 years of age 1t
Is probable that the home will be
broken up in McGill and that Mr..
Herbold and children will return to
the east whence they come only "a
short time ago. The generosity OF
the fellow-workers of Herbold is
shown in that they made up purse
of $500 by which to help relieve the
financial condition of the depressed
man in the hour of his need.

OUTPUT OF PIT
IS INCREASED
ABOUT 10000 TONS OF ORE is
GOING TO CONCENTRATOK
DAILY-CURTAILMENT APPAR-
ENTITY AT AN END.

They are rushing things in the
steam shovel pit of the Nevada Con-
solidated as they, perhaps, have
never been rushed before. Apparent
ly the curtailment which was put In
to practice some months ago is a
thing of the past, for they are max
ing the rocks and the dirt fly to the
music of the blast, and are burning
powder at a rate which would delight
the powder trust. More trains are
coming down the high line than ever
before. Five crews are at work on
the ore trains, and the concentrator
Is running at good rate again. Not
less than seven trains leave the pit
daily, and generally there are eight.
This means that the output of the
pit is in the neighborhood of 10000
tons daily, and this great amount of
ore is being eaten up by the concen-
traitor and made ready for the smell
ter and convertors. There has been
a slight advance in the price of the
metal, and the indications are good
for the district. The production of
blister copper for the month will tell
tale as to whether the agreement
for eurtailment has ended, for 1t is
but natural that Nevada Consolida-
ted would be straining every nerve
to get out the ore at this time. The
weather has been much in favor of
mining in the big pit; but how long
1t will remain so cannot be foretold.
AS result the management Is get
q Ill Al - B.
the days will come when the cold
weather will interfere with the work
and when the ore will freeze In the
cars on the way from the pit to the
concentrator. When this time does
come Nevada Consolidated will be
prepared for 1t for they will have a
great tonnage of concentrates on
hand to keep going the reverberato-
Iries of the smelter and the convertors.
At the Copper Flat pit two of the
steam shovels continue taking out
ore while the other four shovels are
engaged in stripping, two on the west
side and two on the east. The water
supply Is much augmented by the
waste from the Eureka shaft of Ely
Central and things look good for the
big company
The Liberty pit. just over the hill
from Copper Flat. presents a more
lively appearance than ever. While
there is but one steam shovel at work
there, they are getting ready for the
spring when 1t Is expected that the
production of ore will be commenced.
With both pits going lively times will
be seen on the hills about Copper
Flat. and the topography of the coun-
TRY will be undergoing constant
change, the steam shovels making
hollows and the overburden making
new hills.

Fun and good fellowship prevailed
at the initial banquet of the A. T. w.
u, at the Vienna Cafe on Thanks
giving night, and most enjoyable
time was had with plenty OF gooo
cheer for the inner man and much
entertainment for the outer man.
While good fellowship was the key
note of the gathering some solid
thought was advanced on the perpet-
uation OF the organization which had
been originated for the purpose, pri-
marily, of celebrating Thanksgiving.
1t was suggested that the little band
might form the nucleus of an organi-
zation which woulo have for Its OBJ
ject, outside of its social nature, the
promising of the good of the district
from a civic and commercial aspect,
and this will probably result.
John e. Robbins presided as toast
master, and carried off the honors OF
that position with the ease and finish
OF Chauncey Depew. Three toasts
were responded to as follows: Good

CLAIMS
GOOD CITIZEN
JOHN WEARNE, PIONEER OF
COUNTY, is CALLED TO FINAL
REWARD-FUNER AT CHER
RY CREEK TOMORROW.

kilograms were received Friday
afternoon by w. B. Graham and w.
C. Gallagher announcing the death
of John Wearne at Cherry Greek on
that day. The deceased was born in
England in 1899 and with his par
ents came to this country while yet
a boy. After residing in the east for
a number of years. he came to Ham
ilton during the White Pine excite
ment, at which place he became iden-
tilted with both mining and mercan-
tile enterprises and accumulated a
modest fortune, which was swept
away when the crash came in the
early 70's. From Hamilton, Mr..
Wearne moved to Cherry Creek and
for over twenty years was in the
mercantile business at that place and
during his residence there made y
large circle of friends, who admired
him for his many sterling qualities.
Several years ago the deceased be-
came afflicted with a cancer of the
lip and made several trips to Cali
fornia to undergo treatment at the
hands of eminent specialists In that
state. After his first visit to the
coast and after undergoing an opera
tion, he returned much encouraged,
having been given assurance that the
dread malady had been successfully
treated, but 1t was not long before 1t
was apparent that the operation had
not been successful and he again
went to the coast for treatment but
was given but little encouragement
and returned to his home in Cherry
Creek about month ago.
The deceased was man of excep-
tionally pleasant disposition and not
withstanding he knew his days We're
numbered, yet he never allowed 9TH
ers to carry the burden of his afflic-
tion and while knowing to the con-
trary, he made all around him be-
lieve that he would entirely recover
in time. The funeral will take place
at Cherry Greek tomorrow afternoon
and will be under the auspices OF
Steptoe Lodge No. "a F. and A. M,
of which organization he was an hon
ored member for many years.
By the death of John Wearne, the
community in which he lived has
lost one of its most valued citizens
and another of the pioneers of the
county has gone to his long rest.

What may develop into one of the
most important strikes in the dis
trict was made yesterday on the
property of the Ely Centennial. In
the northwest drift, at a distance of
approximately 70 feet from the main
tunnel; 1 8 inches of ore were broken
into. While no assays have yet been
made the stun Is high grade, estima-
tes being made that 1t will go not
less than 35 per cent in copper. II
has the appearance of an ideal smelt-
ing product being heavy with iron.
Some of the specimens brought down
from the mine carry copper glance.
1t was pity that the strike had
not come a few days sooner, for M.

POPULAR PASTOR RESIGNS.

Rev B. M. Charlton, pastor of the
First Methodist church in Ely, has
informed the superintendent of the
mission as well as his parishioners,
that it will be necessary for him to
give up all pulpit work after the first
of the year, and has rendered his
resignation to take effect at that
time. The reason assigned by the
retiring minister for giving up the
charge where his popularity and ac-
ceptance are undoubted Is a throat
affection which has caused him con-
siderable difficulty in the past 1t
is believed that complete rest for
a year will result in great improve
ment and that he will be able to re-
sumo active work after that time.
Although Mr.. Charlton expects to
give up the pastorate of the local
church at the end of December. 1t
is his plan to remain in the Ely dis
trict, and to retain his membership
with the church.

KLAICH FOUND GUILTY.
Verdict of Manslaughter Is Returned
in Austrian Case.

A religious festival is not the
place where men usually expect TO
learn of anything of the nature oil
one countryman stabbing another
and yet such experiences are not un-
common. The past week has witness
sed the trial of an Austrian, Andrew
Klaich. for the stabbing of one of his
fellows, Mike Dukovitch, at feast of
the church of which they claimed to
be members and the slayer was found
guilty of manslaughter. On Monday
last the case was tried in the dis
trict court. The alleged murderer
was sworn on his own behalf ana
claimed that his act was one of self
defense but the jury differed from
the plea of the prisoner and brought
in a verdict of manslaughter. The
story as told by Klaich was that the
Austrian colony of McGill was ceie-
brating a holiday of the church and
the men who were celebrating hao
been drinking heavily for several
hours and that about midnight =
number of them set on him for some
reason and he drew his knife in
order to defend himself from their
assault. III thC uuCiCC tndt ioliOHcu
he, K'aich, stabbed Dukovitch with
fatal results as was afterwards
shown. Finding that he had wound
ed Dukovitch severely Klaich fed
from McGill, intending to go to Illi-
pah, to the Norman ranch, but
he claims that he became badly froz-
en- in both his feet and returned to
the county hospital at Ely. The hos
pital records do not agree with the
story of the prisoner as to the dates
within ten days. Also the jurors evil
IDENTIFY believed that the story of the
Austrian was contradictory in some
particulars. The jury received in
structions on Monday afternoon and
retired for consideration of the case.
They were out some fourteen
hours and found it difficult to reach
an unanimous verdict. They sent to
ask Judge Mitchell for the different
penalties attached to different degrees
of murder but the court held that it
would be unwise for him to give his
decision in such a matter lest 1t
should interfere with the verdict of
the jury. Finally verdict was
rendered finding the defendant guilty
of manslaughter. Yesterday Klaich
was sentenced by Judge Mitchell to
serve six years in the penitentiary at
Carson City for his crime.

The United States circuit court,
sitting in banc. without a dissenting
vote. has sustained the interstate
commerce commission in It's order
establishing reduced rates on certain
commodities from Missouri river
points to points in Nevada, Washing
ton. Oregon and Arizona.
In the face of this unanimous OPP
inion there is little likelihood that
the railroad companies will carry an
appeal to the court of last resort.
1t may be almost absolutely as
sured that the railroad companies
will accept their defeat gracefully
and that the commodity rates will go
into effect December 1st. AS the car
rying companies. in these days of
close competition through the build
ing of rival lines. are eager to secure
and maintain the confidence, respect
and cooperation of the people, each
road will undoubtedly now seek to
repair the breech and get In and

municative on the subject, nat
urally. but he expressed him
self pleased with the develop
ment so far accomplished ana
with the results which had been OBJ
tanned. His report to Mr.. Newhouse
will be made during the coming week
and plans for the future work be
mapped out, all of which will be un-
der the personal supervision of Mr..
Johnson.
4e work thus far done on the
Centennial has been by tunneling and
the present drift. The tunnel shows
a depth below the surface of about
500 feet, and should the present
showing develop as expected. mining
the ore will be attended without dit
ficulty. There is no doubt that the
product can be treated locally, for
ore of this kind is always In demand
at the smelter. In the s inches which
have been opened up there is only
one wall. so 1t Is impossible to say to
what width 1t may extend. And In
this connection II may be said that
Is inches of high grade ore will do
livery well In itself.

FREIGHT RATES
WILL Be LOWER
FEDERAL JUDGES HOLD
AGAINST RAILROADS IN SUIT
TO PREVENT RATE REDUCTION
IN NEVADA AND OTHER STATES
HOLD

Ruling that none of the allegations
of the railroad companies had been
proven, Judge Ross, Gilbert and Nor
row, sitting en- banc in the United
States circuit court In San Francisco,
declined to enjoin the interstate COM
mrce commission from reducing
between Missouri river shipping
points and terminals in Washington,
Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
Judge Gilbert, who delivered the
decision officially. declared that the
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission reducing the rates was
neither confseatory nor discrimina-
tory. He held that none of the bills
submitted by the attorneys for the
railroads showed that the reduced
rates would prove eonfiseatory. That
the rates were arbitrary might be pos
sible. but so long as no law was
transgressed. the court held, the COM
mission was empowered. in It's dis
erection TO enforce rates which were
arbitrary.
The contention of the railroads
that the blanket rate named by the
commission was discriminatory was
held by the court to be a matter for
its future decision, as the railroads,
by fixing rates below the figure set
by the commission, could obyiate the
blanket feature.
In conclusion the court held that
the petition for a permanent injunc-
tion had not been sustained in any
part. and ordered all of the bills dis
missed.
The court then requested the at
torneys to agree on a date for the
trial of the three original suits
brought by the railway companies
against the interstate commerce com
mission TO prevent the rate reduction.

mission proposed that they be left to
the decision of the new court of COM
merce. which will meet for the first
time in January. This tribunal will
