LOWER FREIGHT CHARurS.
New Officers of Nevada Northern
Prepared to Readjust Rates.

Since the election of new officials
for the Nevada Northern railroad 1t
is reported that these officers are
preparing to readjust the freight
rates of that line. Previous to this
action the Giroux Consolidated Min
ing company filed a complaint with
the interstate commerce commission.
in which il was claimed that the rail-
road company had charged excessive
rates on mine equipment, hauled
from Cobre 10 the Giroux mines.
Ely people are very much elated
over the prospects of an early settle
ment of the difficulties existing be-
tween the Giroux company and the
railroad. II is claimed that this will
eliminate further delay in the con-
struetion OF the mill. and possibly
the smelling plants, which are TO be
built ) the Giroux company. II will
also mean that a better rate can be
obtained for the transportation of
mining machinery into that eamD IN
the future, and may give the entire
camp a more reasonable rate on all
classes of commodities.
no change has been promised in
n passenger rates. but an effort will
be made to get a reduction for carry
ing people TO and from the connect
ing point at Cobre. The rate for
hauling ore probably will be changed
so that both the crude rock and con
cenirates a be sent to the local
market at a lower rate. The exist
ing tax has been too high to permit
some OF the small consumers from
getting their ores to the market. and
unless a more reasonable rate is pro-
vlded a custom smelling plant will be
IN order for the companies which are
left with no alternative. MSalt Lake

Henderson, president of the bank,
interviewed her and tried to learn
from her the number of checks she
had taken and what she had done
with them. She would admit taking
four or five and the most of these
she said she had burned. Mr.. Hen
derson knew at the time that she had
taken a large number of checks,
amounting to $1,000 or $4,000. but
she stuck to her story and strenuous
ly denied taking more than four or
FIVE.
Early in November the matter
was Investigated by the postal au-
thorities and, on account of the
youth of the child, the government
authorities refused 10 prosecute her.
Since then the matter has been az
lowed to rest. 1t is probable that
she would have been given her liber-
ty in a few weeks had she not com
mitted this last offense.
The Independent has studiously
avoided giving this girls name, for
while she seems to be an incorrigible
thief, there Is a chance for her to be-
come a useful and respected member
of society. Her case Is a sad one.

WHERE GOOD FELLOWS
MAKE HEADQUARTERS
THE CAPITOL SALOON PRESIDED
OVER BY POPULAR PEOPLE
WHO KNOW HOW To PLEASE
THEIR PATRONS.

One of the most popular resorts in
Ely. where good fellows get together,
is the Capitol Saloon, the destinies of
which are presided over by Frank
Rathbun, Andy" Fessler and Bert
Walker. Famed for the excellence
of its wines and liquors from the
early days of Ely. il is also one of the
institutions which is closely associa-
ted with the stirring times of the
boom, and its walls ring with the
memories of days when money was
one of the cheapest commodities in
the district. In the days when gambl-
ing was in vogue there were many ex-
citing games played in the house. and
in those times the place was crowded
day and night. The house was closed
when the district fell into the dol
drums Of financial disaster which
swept the country from one end to
the other.
The enterprise of the present
proprietors in r%eopening the Capitol
has been rewarded by the securing of
some of the best patronage in the

SERVICE EQuALLED ONLY IN
THE LARGER CITIES or THE
COUNTRY.

The stranger in the district who
drops into the Palace Grill gets a ur-
prise in the yiands and the service.
In a place like Ely, so far removed
from the big markets, he would
hardly expect a service which Is
equalled only in Salt Lake or San
Francisco; but this is just what he
receives. There is no better cuisine
anywhere in the state. and the chefs
are the highest paid and men who
thoroughly understand their business
The grill and saloon are owned by
Thomas OfNeill, and have been since
the early days of the district. Mr..
ONeill has made II his chief care
from the inception of the place to
have in his house nothing but the
best, both in edibles and liquors: and

is the large banquet hall in the rear
