.CL|NGS TO Lever
DURING The FIRE

One of the heroes developed in
the Ely mine horror of Wednesday
night was L. A. Sorenson, engineer
in the hoist house. He was at the
lever when the danger signal of
nine bells sounded from the 400.
He knew that there was something
wrong: and was in suspense from
that moment until the cage was
landed at the top. A cage is always
at the bottom, for the cages work
on a counterbalance, the weight of
the descending cage operating in
favor of that which is being raised
when they are in motion. While
the cage was being raised through
the flames and smoke, the grease
on the steel hawser caught fire,
and as a rope, passed into the en-
CINE house, it brought with it dense
volumes of suffocating smoke The
air became so thick that it was with
difficulty that Sorenson could catch
his breath, and he could hardly
make out the different levels re-
corded on the indicator.
He chung to his lever to the very
last; stayed there until the cage
was raised above the smoke coming
from the shaft; remained until the
cage was lowered again, and the
men removed to safety, and was still
there to run the cages up and down
twice more in the hope that some
of the miners might still be alive
Exhausted, and almost asphyxiated,
when it was all over, he had to be
carried out of the shaft house.

Suspect Under Arrest.
This morning a miner named Por-

upon suspicion of having been con-
cerned in the robbery. He has

tional company.
1t is reported that man named
Erickson has also been arrested
on suspicion.
Constable Williams this forenoon
found the two ore sacks which
had contained the high-grade. The
sacks were picked up at a point
about 500 yards from where the
battle between Shea and Flanders
and the robbers occurred.
1t is naturally believed that the
robbers transferred their booty tC
some better mode of conveyance
probably putting the ore into sad.
die bags and carrying it away or
horses.
1t is believed that there were
! more than two men concerned il
the robbery and that it was com
mitted by persons who were very
familiar with the operations at the
| Mammoth National and who knew
| that the high-grade ore was OF

BOOKS ADMITTED
AS EVIDENCE in
STATE BANK CASE

Since last week argument has
been carried on in the suit against
the directors of the State Bank
in the district court before Judge
Langan. Attorney Mack for the
receiver offered a number of books
in evidence to show that the bank
was insolvent at the time of the
last dividend The attorneys for the
defense have argued this point to
finish, as well as insisting that
the documents had not been proper
ly identified to be entered as evil
dence The argument practically
took up the entire week.
Monday afternoon Judge Langan,
from the bench. rendered a decision
in which he cited the authorities
quoted him, thoroughly reviewed the
case and then ordered the books
admitted as evidence.
In his opinion, which was read
from the bench, he stated that the
books had been sufficiently proven
to be those of the bank and in
the use of the directors in theil
work, even to the time of the de,
claring of the dividend. The books

BANDITS LOOT THE
MAMMOTH NATIONAL
Carry Off $4,000 Worth of High Grade
Battle With the Robbers.

The Humboldt Star of yesterday
prints the following account of the
robbery of the high-grade ore from
the National Mines company:
National, the only mining camp
in the world with ore rich enough
to cause bandits to hold up the
miners while at work in the slopes,
was the scene of another daring
robbery last night.
Twice last year was the property
of the National Mines company held
up by bandits, who the first time
secured a sack of high-grade valued
at $4,000. The second time, accord
ing to the reports of the company
officers, the robbers did not get any
ore, but overlooked $4,000 worth
Of high-grade.
Last night the Mammoth National
companys property of the National
Mines company, was the sufferer. 1t
was the biggest forcible robbery yet
committed in the camp, the value
of the loot being estimated al
$4,000.
Battle With Bandits.
Telephone accounts received here
this morning from National say the
robbery was committed at $50 last
night by two masked bandits. Two
sacks of high-grade were stored il

the mines of the Comstock district,
those being worked under lease and
