rest e of Simon and his monoplane.
The crowd thoroughly aroused to the
sense of danger that threatened the
little Frenchman, started in numbers
to cut through the woods and fields
In an effort to reach the fallen avi-
ator. lie. however, was perhaps the
least excited OF all, for when finding
that the suction of the tree was too
strong for the carrying OF his ma
chine, he picked out freshly plowed
cornfleld and pointed the nose of ma
chine No to the cushioned spot of
terra firma, where he alighted with no
harm to himself, and but little to the
machine, the skids OF which were
damaged. Simon was brought back
with his fellows In the auto, the help
e-s took the machine In tow and the
crowd settled down to wait in patience
for the flight of Barrier. The announce
ment was made about $3.50 that II the
wind subsidized fight would probably
be made In fifteen minutes. half
hour later there was no flight In
sight, and the owners of the land fear
ing for the oats field in which the ma
chine was standing, and about which a
crowd were gathered, sent word to
Manager Young that II there was not
to be any more flights the machine
should be removed from the field.
This seemed to serve as cue for the
and the machine was re-
back to the place Of dis
sembling and made ready to load on
the wagon for shipment. The aviators
with Manager Young and his party re-
turned to the hotel in the auto, and
the meet was at an end.

The success of the meet financially

SECURES JUDGMENT
FOR LARGE AMOUNT

The Campton Commercial COM
pany secured judgment in the dis
trict court last Wednesday against
the United States Tungsten corpora
alton for $11.039.sS. representing a
bill contracted by the defendant COM
pany and nine assigned claims.
The present action Is the culmi-
nation of monetary troubles that
overwhelmed the tungsten company
last spring. shortly after the first
shipment of concentrates was for
warded to eastern points. II was
bitterly fought in the district court,
on the ground that r. L. Fletcher,
who was responsible for the debts in
eurred, was not the authorized agent
of the defendant corporation. This
contention was not sustained by
Judge Coleman in handing down his
decision
Prior to the suspension OF opera
tlons at the properties, Oscar A. Tur-
ner of New York, formerly president
of the Ely Central. had expended in
the neighborhood of 100000 in ae-
auiring title and subsequent develop
ment work. Before the company
was in position to make shipments,
Turner ceased to make his regular
contributions. and the property was
plastered with attachments for wages
and supplies. The company's hold
lngs are situated about forty-fiVe
miles south of Ely. and it is believed
that with conservative management
the mines can be placed on a pro-
ducing basis.

PAY RETAIL LICENSE

A crusade against peddlers and
drummers who ply their trade with
in the corporate limits was regis
tered by Attorney C. A. Walker at
a meeting of the city council last
Monday night, the speaker stating
that he had appeared at the request
of certain business men, who were
anxious to ascertain whether it would
be legal to prepare an ordinance
compelling all agents doing either a
wholesale or retail business to first
procure a license.
City Attorney Boreman said that
ordinance No. 33 was directly in
point and covered the question of
retail peddlers and street hawkers,
who made a canvass from house to
house, but that wholesale drummers
were not included within its pro-
visions. Mr.. Walker expressed a
willingness to cooperate with the
city attorney either in drawing up an
ordinance or making test case.

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.
.Jarbilge-B Badger Mining Company
Accepts Proposal of Marion Mill
ing and Mining Company.

The stockholders of the Jarbidge-
Badger Mining company at special
meeting held last night in Ely ac-
cepted the proposal of the Marion
Mining and Milling company by an
almost unanimous vote to purchase
all the property rights of Jarbidge-
Badger upon an equal basis with res
pect to shares of stock.
The Marion company owns two
claims adjoining the holdings of the
Jarbidge- Badger. and the location of
both properties is sueh that there is
every indication that the veins run
together, and may later prove a
fruitful source of conflict. Under the
terms of the proposition submitted
by the Marion Mining company. 1t
agrees to spend $1,000 in the devel-
opment of the properties If the offer
is acceptable. The treasury of the
Jarbidge-Badger needs replenishing,
and without funds it would be i'm
possible to continue further work.
There was a good attendance at
the meeting; 100000 shares of stock
being represented in person. and
10000 shares by proxy. After
listening to the statement made by
the board of directors. the stock
holders assented to the proposal
without hesitation.
Exploration work on the com.
pany's holding is being prosecuted

showings are sufficiently encourag
ing to Justify the expenditure o
