NEW HOIST FOR
THE zACK SHAFT
FL. CONSOLIDaT.~ IN FINE
ORE, IN GOOD FINANCIAL
STANDING. AND BEING EQUIP
PED FOR SINKING 1900 FEET.

Ely Consolidated is installing a
new hoist at the Zack shaft and In a
very short time will have done away
with the use of gasoline altogether
They have two SO horsepower boilers
and when they are ready to sink TO
the 600-foot level, the shaft will be
thoroughly equipped with steam fit-
tings, and the work viii be more ex-
peditious and more satisfactory.
On the 500 level they are still in
the ore. the sulphides and the high
grade. The plan of greater develop
ment includes the sinking of the
shaft to the 1500-foot level, and the
Indications are all in favor of big
mine. the further the development
goes. The mine is making about l.
900 gallons of water an hour which Is
handled by the pumps at the 400 and
500-foot levels. The last assessment
has financed the company for another
year. and work for the time Is assur-
ed; ard II Is more than probable that
they will have developed big amout
OF ore before that time arrives.

MAY REACH ORE ANY TIME.
Giroux Upper Crosscut Only 81 Feet
From Old Alpha Workings.

The 1200-foot crosscut in the Gil
roux shaft is now within "a feet of
the old Alpha workings, and any
day may bring il into the ore. They
have passed through the iron cap
ping and are now in the dixie. Very
little water is coming in here and
the ground is the finest kind of go
ing, very encouraging to the man
agement
At the 1400-foot crosscut the prog
ress has not been so satisfactory of
late, owing to the water and the
fact that the compressor was shut
down for repairs. Considerable wat
er has been developed and while this
Is what they want, they were not
quite prepared to handle the amount.
After today the compressor will be
In order again, and the big crosscut
pump at the 400 station will be In
commission. This has capacity of
500 gallons a minute. and with q
lift only to the 200 level. where the
1900 and 600 gallon pumps will ham
die the water. the latter can be cared
for without difficulty. The crosscut
is out ESQ feet from the shaft.

law. The court found this justifica-
tion in the common law of the fore
fathers and in the general law of the
country at the time the Serman anti
trust law was passed.
In short. the court held that the
technical words of the statute were
to be given the meaning which those
words had in the common law and in
the law of the country at the time of
the enactment. This meaning of the
words, according to the court, called
for the exercise of reason in deter
mining what restraints on trade were
prohibited.

GUILTY BY JURY
FORMER SECRETARY OF HER
RICk-kERIN INVESTMENT co.

ENCY BEING RECOMMENDED

J. II. McMurray. formerly secretary
of the Herrick- KERN Investment com
pany, was yesterday found guilty oi
embezzlement by jury in the dis
triet court, with the recommends
tion that he receive the extreme
leniency of the court.
The case was one of the longest
and most expensive trials held in the
county for many years, and Attorney
Jurich for the defense will ask for a
new trial on Tuesday morning to
which time a stay of judgment has
been granted. If the motion be de-
MED, the attorney has declared his
intention of taking an appeal.
For the prosecution there were in
court, in addition to District Attorney
McFadden, Attorney Belford. assist
ing prosecution on behalf of the
county. and Attorney G. A. McElroy
for Oscar Palmquist, upon whose
warrant McMurray was arrested in
the first instance, charging the de-
fendant with embezzling something
over 5000. The claim was made that
McMurray had received the money to
buy 100 shares of Giroux stock, and
had retained the money, and that
Palmquist had not been able to get
back either money or stock.
The jury to try the case was en-
panelled on last Monday, and the
case did not reach them until ten
o'clock on Friday night. A number
of witnesses were called on both
sides. and the last day was taken up
with the forensic fire of the legal
luminaries. Attorney Belford open
ed and closed the case for the prose-
eution, and Attorney Zurich made the
argument for the accused

A Suggestion.

Secretary of State Davis, in his
signed editorial of Monday, said that
if the Governor and Council wished
him to do so. the Sentinel would go
on with the State work, at its own ex-
pense and risk. until such time as 9TH
er arrangements could be made.
May we not expect commentator
for this further suggestion: That Mr..
Davis go on with the work until the
special local option session? At that
time of course the Legislature would
reimburse Mr.. Davis for work done
for the state. They are fair minded
lot of men and would not wish to see
Mr.. Davis lose remuneration for SER
vice rendered.
At the same time the Legislature
could repeal that obnoxious law
which !nterferes with Mr. Davis con-
tract, and thus avoid all fuss ana
feathers = of reorganizing the Water
willie Sentinel Company.

Enalish Post Office Profitable.

The report of the post office depart
mcnt for the United Kingdom for the
fiscal year, shows a profit of $21 ,0o0, 900,
and this moreover after paying loss
of Sc. 100000 for telegraph deficit, and
another loss of $500, 900 on its telephone
department. In Great Britain all the
commercial telegraph business, and
most of the telephone service is opera
ted by the government. While it is
true that the wages of postal employees
there are very much lower than here.

carried is less than in the United

Americans. and that tue parcel rate is
low there and high here. 1t would seem
as if our own postal department might
