SAILOR GORDON IN TROUBLE.
Former Ely Resident Cited to Appear
Before Federal Jury in Salt
Lake for White Slavery.

George Reeves, better known here
as Sailor Gordon, who was knocked
out by Jack Carpenter in eighteen
rounds at the Ely baseball park four
months ago, and his alleged wife,
Jessie Gray, alleged white slavers
from Goldfield, were ordered by
Federal Judge Harrington at Carson
last Wednesday to appear before the
federal grand jury at Salt Lake to
answer to the charge of white slav-
cry in violation of the United States
statutes.
Gordon and the Gray woman we're
placed under $500 bonds. The
woman secured her liberty by de-
posting a cash bond, but Gordon
was unable to secure the amount
named, and was taken to Salt Lake
for trial by the United States
marshal.
Rose Baldwin, who is only Is years
of age, testified that she was induced
to leave Salt Lake for Goldfield to
enter a chorus show, but that upon
her arrival she had been placed in a
house of prostitution by Gordon.
Two other girls testified that they
had been held in practical captivity
until they had returned to Gordon
the amount of money spent for their
transportation.
One of the girls stated that she
had been employed to sell beer in a
dance hall and that she was told she
could make a fortune in a short time.
1t is said that the evidence against
Gordon and his paramour is very
strong, and that they will both prob
ably win long sentences in a federal
prison.

WILLIAMS WANTS TITLE.

To secure title to mining ground
which will be essential in the develo-
pment of the mineral estate of the
Smoky Development company, S.
Herbert Williams, left Thursday
morning for Boston, New York and
other eastern points, and will be
absent about six weeks. Mr.. wilkins
had been in charge of the prelimi-
nary work on the Smoky group, and
is satisfied that the estate had been
SUI efficiently prospected by churn drills
to warrant the prosecution of devel-
opment work on a more extensive
scale.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Will
liams and his eastern associates to
work the properties by means of a
long tunnel which will tap the main
ore body at a depth of 250 feet. Mr..
Williams expects to close a deal for
the claim on which the tunnel will
be started during his absence in the
east. AS soon as the sale is made
a force of men will be employed in
pushing the tunnel ahead with all
possible speed. 1t is anticipated
that renewed activity on the Smokey
possessions will be instituted about
November 1.

FOOTBALL TEAM GETS BUSY.
Rough Scrimmage Work Is Menu
Served to Candidates for Eleven
by Coach Whiteley.

The candidates for positions on
the football eleven, which will clash
with McGill next Sunday on the To-
cal grounds for the first time this
season have had rough scrimmage
work every night. Hard work and
plenty of it has been the lot of the
Ely boys, since Coach Whitley had
taken them in charge.
The scrimmage practice of the last
week. terminating in last nights
skirmish, convinces the followers of
the game that Ely is showing sterl-
ing development, and besides having
a fast team, will be capable of pre-
senting an impregnable defense,
while the leather oval is in posses
sion of their opponents.
One thing that will impress every
body, who has seen the football
squad, is that the men appear to be
all about the same size instead of
having a guard 6 feet 6 inches and
a quarterback 5 feet fiat, there will
be eleven whose height will vary a
few inches, and whose variation in
weight will not exceed 25 pounds.
1t is expected that Ely's line will
be a few pounds lighter that of the
smelter crowd. Among those who
will probably be seen on the firing
line will be Richmond, Duncan, Nc
Herman, Reynolds, Carton, Hull,
Jones, Reynolds, Meyers, Luchesi,
Alderman and Hauck.
The backfeld will be undoubtedly
composed of Smith, Hip, Peters and
Hicks. The latter is an ideal full
back, heavy, and was a star player
at Notre Dame during his under
graduate days. Hicks is one of the
most experienced punters seen in
these parts, his spirals averaging
from fifty to sixty yards.
Hip, who is always imbued with
the "%get-there' spirit, is without a
doubt the fastest back in the district,
and is extremely shifty in getting
down the field. Jones would be a
valuable asset to any team. In
practice he displays GOODNESS and
ability without becoming ratified.
Although Jones is scheduled to fill
one of the ends, he may play right
half.
While the open work in the main
will be the Ely style of play, Coach
Whiteley will have a repertoire of
plays to meet any emergency. He
will not depend on any eleven men,
when McGill wends forth to do bat
tie with his men, but will probably
work the entire squad before the
contest is over.
Reports from McGill indicate that
the smelter crowd will have a strong
aggregation in the field this year.
Several weeks of training under a
competent coach has wrought
wonderful changes in the squad.
There are two or three candidate for
every position. The coach has an
nounced that he will not select the
members of the first team until the
night before the first engagement
with Ely.

IN POTASH.

Potash is now the boom cry, and 1t
is not a far cry from Ely. A stretch
of saline land, about six by twenty
miles in area, is shown on Spurs top
ographical map of Nevada, and the
lands are rs miles from Ely, and 120
miles from Tonopah. They are To-
Gated in Railroad Valley, west of
Blue Eagle, between there and Eu-
gene Locks ranch on the west side
of the valley. Martin Horton of
Blue eagle has been in Ely for sew
eral days past seeking to interest
people in the lands.
Potash is in demand as a fertiliz-
err, and if they have it in commercial
qualities in Railroad Valley, there are
fortunes to be made. OF late atten-
ton has been directed to the deposits
and a number of men are at work To-
eating claims, and doing the assess
ment work thereon. The Railroad
Valley Saline company is the largest
holding, and according to MI. Horton
the company is going to try out the
land with churn drills, and prove it
up by this sort Of development. A
small syndicate of San Francisco
owners is also busy on the ground,
and intend, also to operate drills to
prove up their holdings.

BOSTON ELY MEETING.

With a balance of $4,000 in the
treasury. and the outlook for the
future extremely propitious, the an
nual meeting of the stockholders OF
the Boston Ely Mining company will
be convened at Portland, Maine, next
Saturday afternoon to elect officers
and decide upon a vigorous cam
paign of exploration work for the
next twelve months. A call for the
meeting has been received by the
stockholders.
Those holding stock in the corpo-
ration have been advised of the con-
dition of the property through a cir
cular letter issued by the secretary.
1t contains the information that the
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
1885 feet, the water level having
been encountered seven feet above
that point.
Through a crosscut driven in a
northwesterly direction toward the
mineralized formation, ore was en-
countered lao feet from the shaft.
Drifting both ways on a ten foot vein
indicated that it has narrowed down.
Evidences of important ore shoots
below water level We're noticeable in
the northeast drift.
The southwest section was follow
ed with greater difficulty. Although
the naturalization is different from
that regularly found in other por-
lions of the shaft, the company is
confident that the ore will be found
in this working.
The Boston Ely now controls 811,-
$50 shares of stock in the Ely West
ern company, as a result of an offer
made to the stockholders of the lat
ter corporation to exchange their
stock at the ratio of thirty to one
On this basis 167,85O shares were
exchanged. There still remains out
standing 1855 shares of Ely
Western.

The judges and the colonels stood
Like cornstalks thick as they could

Or teeming saplings in the wood.
When Yankees crossed the salty pond,
Some English wit would "holler'

"Hey, Colonel" And they would re-
