helpmate of l.. T. Larson, the bright,
and CHEEKY motherly housekeeper to
so many of the railroad men of the
camp. The occupants of the home
like boarding house on the north side
of the railroad will greatly miss the
greetings of the mistress of the hotel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson started in at
Cobre and had charge of the commits
sary work of the railroad, as well as
the boarding car, while the road was
building. At the same time Mr.. Lar
son was the builder of houses and
depots along the road. This was go
Ing on during the summer of 1906
and the laborers and employees of
the road found their sustenance pro-
vided and their needs met from the
supplies of the Larsons. At the end
of the summer of 1906 Mr.. and Mrs.
Larson made their home on the north
side of the railroad and in July and
August built the Nevada Northern
hotel which they have occupied ever
since. They now leave East Ely,
where they are so favorably known,
to take charge of the Giroux board
ing house at Kimberly. The dining
room and kitchen furnishing have
been purchased by them and as they
enter upon this new experience in
the evening of their life, they go with
the best wishes of a multitude of
friends, who believe that those who
become the patrons of the Giroux
home will find the Larsons will pro-
vide them the best that the market
affords in the Way of good and nour-
ishing food.
The Nevada Northern hotel will
now be in charge of Mrs. Sullivan.
who has for sometime been in charge
of the dining room, and has leased
the hotel. and it will be conducted on
the same liberal basis as heretofore.

COMINS GETS DECISION.
Is Declared to BE the Nominee for
Long Term Commissionership.

AS result of a decision handed
down by Judge Mitchell in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon, H. A.
Comins will be the nominee for long
term county commissioner on the Re-
publican ticket. At the primary
election Mr.. Comins received a ma
jority of five votes over H. c. Mich
olson but owing to the fact that the
votes cast in the Preston precinct were
not canvassed In the building In
which they were polled. Mr.. Nichol-
son claimed that they should not be
counted. as the law had not been
complied with. According to the de-
cision, the law does not specify that
the votes must be canyassed in the
building in which they are cast. Had
the court held that the Preston pre-
cinct should not be counted, Mr.
Nicholson would have been declared
the Republican nominee, as this pre-
cinct gave Mr.. Comins a majority of
eight votes. AS both parties to this
contest were exceptionally strong
men in this county. the Republicans
were sure of having the winning can
didate. no matter which way the
courts decision went.

GAMBLING IS
THING Of PAST
ALL GAMES CLOSED PROMPTLY
AT MIDNIGHT, SEPTEMBER 80,
IN THIS DISTRICT--NO RISKS
ARE TAKEN.

Without a shot being fired or a
blow being struck gambling died at
midnight of Friday, September 80.
Clang. went the curfew toll; click,
went the little ball into the roulette
pocket, and 1t was all off.
The boys said that 1t was too bad
that there were not few more days
in September. That was all. There
might be difference of opinion be-
tween lawyers and judges; there
was also a difference between being
out of job and being in jail. Jail
is no place for a gambler. He
couldn't even play solitaire; so
what's the use?
That's the way they had it sized
up. for the law is a mighty peculiar
thing as Con. Cregan says. A child
can set it in motion and sometimes
1t takes an army to stop it.
The passing of the time-honored
institution came to its sudden end
in Ely with a whoop and a hooray.
Everybody who CANDLES, and that
meant everybody who was up, took
a crack at some end of the game.
There were the tanners of the tiger.
and the rangers of roulette, the
yotaries of "twent-one" and the
crapsters of craps. There were
watch parties of solo, and the devo-
tees of bridge whist burned their
bridges behind them.
In the principal saloons the games
were kept going to the last minute;
to the very stroke of twelve. At
eight bells all was we'll; all was over
| in fact. The floors were strewn with
cards, but no furniture was broken
up. Gambling might break out
somewhere else, and the furniture
would come in handy. Yes, oh, yes.
And then everybody proceeds to get
busy with the assuagers of thirst ae-
cording to his taste, or according to
his winnings. Beer was just as tasty
as wine. and old John Barleycorn
played a late engagement. 1t was
just like the passing of the old year.
And now that it is all over what
are the gamblers to do?
| What are We all going to do?
Wirra, wirra. No solo-oh, mercy.
No bridge whist, dear, dear, what
will We ladies have to talk about out
side of each other? Goodbye,
gamblers, goodbye gambling. Now
for a bet that we will all be better
off this time next year. Hold on,
that bets off-gambling has ceased
in Nevada. It's ag'in the the law to
bet.

SALE Of T0WNS|TE HOLDINGS
TO COLE-RYAN SEEMS SURE

Giroux in connection with such a deal
would be the water rights of the
Townsite company in the Steptoe Val
dey, and this was the kernal in the
story in circulation. The Giroux peo-
pie are going to put up a concentra-
tor and smelling plant; and it is evil
dent that work must soon be started
on the construction of the plant to
have it ready by the time they are in
a position to ship.
Another eoncentrator and smelter
in the district would amount to an
other boom for it. There are several
Independent properties here in an ad-
vanced stage of development, and one
or two smaller shippers. Without a
doubt the beginning of actual work
in constructing another reduction
plant would increase the work of de-
velopment in all these properties and
be the means of opening up other
properties which have been closed
down for sometime.

SCHEFTELS 8 co.
ARE CLOSED Up
OFFICES OF PROMINENT NEW
YORK FIRM ARE TAKEN IN
CHARGE BY FEDERAL AU.
THORITIES.

Like a bolt from the blue came
a smash in the stocks of the Ely
Central Copper company on last
Thursday. when that most popular of
all Ely's securities went topping
from so cents to 20 cents a share. On
the heels of the break came the start
ling intelligence that the house of B.
H. Scheftels & Co., which firm has
been handling the stock, holding con-
trolling interest in the security; had
been closed by the Federal au-
thorities.
No greater sensation has come to
Ely for many years, and the first re-
ports were not credited. Later there
came indisputable knowledge that
they were all too true. The actual
charges agains the firm are not now
even understood further than COM
plant has been made that they have
misused the mails in the information
which they have been publishing re-
garding the developments going
ahead at the property of the Ely Cen
tral.
The property never was in better
physical condition than at present,
nor has there ever been so much de-
velopment as is now being prosecut-
ed. Three shafts are being sunk and
three churn drills are in operation,
and the engineers of the company
who left for New York yesterday
morning after a weeks inspection ex-
pressed themselves thoroughly salts
fed with conditions. The consulting

AN Auv SLUNcHEoN.
Mrs. Albert Campbell Entertains
Friends at Card Party.

We have read "The Last of the
Mohicans' and we have sung THE
Last Rose of Summer" but now we
are to record the last meeting where
the women of East Ely were saying,
"The last of 500" Was the last of
the pleasant society card parties held
at the home of Mrs. Albert Campbell
on Saturday afternoon?
The company gathered to greet
their hostess at the hospitable home
of the Campbells was a select one and
the one thought that pervaded the
party was the fact that unless the
state legislature changes the law of
which so many are thinking at this
time the delightful recreation of the
women will have to partake of new
features. The hostess served a de-
licious luncheon to precede the card
game of 800" The menu was as
follows: The first course consisted
of chicken salad, hot biscuit and
jelly, with a Waldorf-Astoria salad
in apple cases, and mangoes. The
second course was pumpkin pie and
fruit, with coffee and crystalized gin
ger The third course was coffee
frappe and assorted cakes.
The ladies present were: Mes
danes Hanlin, II. A. Code, Deckle-
man, Heartwell, Murray, Edison,
Clouse, Lindskog, Zimmerman,
Brownson, Wheeler, Rumbaugh, Pur-
cell. Enslow, Davidson. Moyle. Hart
man. Roy Code, DeSautelle, and the
Misses Clouse and Graham.
The prizes were won as follows:
The first was a point lace handker-
chief and became the property of
Mrs. j. A. Hanlin; the second prize
was won by Mrs. ]. p. Rumbaugh,
and was drawn prize, hand paint
ed plate; the third, or BOBBY prize,
was won by the guest of honor, Mrs.
H. II. Heartwell, and was a darner;
on the card accompanying it was the
sentence Darn it," The whole party
left with mutual regrets that the last
800" was the game of the first of
October at the home of Mrs. Albert
Campbell.

A story has been current for the
past several days that the Giroux
Consolidated has consummated a
deal for the purchase of the
holdings of the East Ely Town
site company. The story has
been denied by Captain F. P.
Mus. general manager of the Giroux
Consolidated, and yet there are more
and more persistent rumors that it
is true-at least in part.
While no confirmation of the re-
ported transaction could be obtained
up to a late hour last night il is
known that telegraphic communica-
tion was had between New York and
Los Angeles yesterday conveying the
news of its conclusion. The lack of
confirmation from authentic sources,
however. seems TO have had but little
effect upon the public and the ac-
ceptance of the report is general.

GREEK CHURCH FOR DISTRICT.
Work on New Edifice viii Begin
as Soon as Plans are Approved.

There are in this great copper
camp some 900 Greeks engaged in
various pursuits. They all belong to
the Greek, or Eastern Catholic
church, thus distinguished from the
Roman. or Western Catholic church.
Their pastor is priest of the monas-
terry and therefore a celibate. He is
stationed at Ely. He conducts SER
vices at McGill and Copper Flat as
well as at Ely. He visits his charge
at McGill once a month. Copper Flat
once month. and all the great festi-
walls, or holidays of the church. are
to be observed at Ely.
The plans and specification of the
new structure proposed to be erected
in Central Ely are on the way to
Athens, Greece, to be passed upon by
the archbishop of the metropolitan
see. The building will be after the
style of the ancient Byzantine &C.
clesiastical architecture. with double
towers topped by domes or cupolas,
and surmounted by crosses. The edi-
flee will be completed by Christmas
and the members are looking forward
with delight to looking upon a struc-
ture that will remind them of the
homeland. The cost of the church
will be something less than $4,000.
1t will be built of brick or concrete
blocks.
Two chapels are also to be construe-
ted, the one at Copper Flat, and the
other at McGill. These are to be
plain frame buildings, 80 by 40 feet
in size. and to cost about $500 each.
The ehapels are expected to be ready
for occupancy within a few weeks.

OPERATIONS ARE INCREASED.
Indications That Big Plant Will Soon
BE Running at Full Capacity.

The eoneentrator at McGill yester-
day increased its operations by set
ting in motion one more section, and
1t is said that in few days. the big
plant will be running again at its full
capacity. For the past six weeks the
concentrator has been working only
five sections, or two and one-half
unites, and the output of the steam
shovel pit has been materially de-
creased
The starting up of the additional
section is good news for the district
news of the very best description. 1t
means the employment of more men,
and is also indicative of better times
coming in the copper market. At the
steam shovel pit they are operating
six steam shovels; and in the south
end of the big ore hole they are TAX
Ing out ore of very high grade. be-
sides native copper. One steam
shovel is at work in the Liberty pit,
engaged in the work of stripping ore.

The Payne-Aldrich Act.
No tariff act has ever been passed
by any party but what has provoked,
the year following its passage, a
storm of adverse criticism. We
neither defend as perfect every item
and schedule of the Payne-Aldrieh
act, nor do We condemn 1t as whole !,
but declare, instead, that the merits
of any tariff act are slower to appear
than the defects, and that whatever
errors are contained in this law, they
are ehargeable to the procedure of
wholesale revision, in vogue in con-
gress since the beginning of the gov
ernment, and which is hereafter to be
supplanted by that procedure advo-
Gated by President Taft, TO wit:
Notifications of the tariff by bills ef-
fecting particular schedules, based on
the findings of the impartial scientific
tari.. commission provided for by the
present act; thus eliminating trades
and compromises to secure the votes
necessary to pass general measure,
and avoiding the business disturb
ances incident upon wholesale revi-
sion. Commenting the sincerity and
courage of those Republicans in con-
gress who, within party lines, voiced
and voted their disagreement to the
Payne-Aldrich bill, and affirming that
such party breaches and reyolts are
the most wholesome characteristics
of free institutions, yet We take the
view that il is better for the country
that the bill was not defeated, and
thus have protracted tariff agitation
and Industrial disarrangement and
depression an additional two years.
We declare that in the procedure
heretofore stated, President Taft has
pointed out the true remedy for
future tariff notifications and on
which all Republicans can unite in
concord to carry out the great pro-
gressiye policies of better govern
ment begun by Roosevelt and Loyalty
upheld by Taft.

Labor.

We affirm, as q cardinal Republi-
can doctrine. that the basis of our Ma
tion's true greatness lies in the stall
wart skill, the Intelligence, and the
independence of the toilers of the
land, whose labor has produced the
wealth and sustains the prosperity
of the commonwealth. We believe in
organizations and unions of the wage
earners to promote and lawfully de-
fend their welfare; and the Republ-
lean party stands ready to support
and champion any such demands of
labor to improve the standard of
wage, the conditions of toll. To lessen
the hazards of dangerous ayocations,
and to insure recompense for those
manned or injured in the discharge
of their duties. And we further de-
mand that the immigration laws be
amended so as to exclude all Asiatie
labor from this country. We further
recommend that the duties of the
state mining inspector be enlarged to
cover the investigation and reports
upon laDor conditions obtaining in
the mines, mills, manufactures and
transportation companies within the
state. We further advocate the re-
vision of the mechanics lien law of
this state for the purpose. among
other things, of more accurately de-
fining the liability of the owners of
mining properties for debts contract
ed in the working of such properties
by leasers and establishing the res
possibility of such owners in the alb
of cIxy ta6
of non-liability.
We favor law providing that
whenever a legal holiday falls on
Sunday, the next ensuing Monday
shall also be legal holiday.
We favor the enactment of rigid
laws making the obtaining of labor
or services under false pretenses or
representations a crime.
We pledge our candidate for Uni
ted States senator and representative
in congress to use their influence to
secure higher salaries for railway
mail clerks and mail carriers.
Injunction.
We believe that the rules of pro-
cedure in our courts should be modi-
fed to meet the growth of business in
the courts as they arise In practice,
and protect and preserve the rights
of litigants. We believe that the is
suance of the writ of injunction
should be more accurately defined by
law, and that no injunction or tenn
porary restraining order should be
issued, without notice, except where
irreparable injury would result from
delay, in which case speedy hearing
should be granted. but only upon
proper and sufficient bond to pro.
tect the person or corporation en-
joined or restrained.
