WHAT GIRoux STRIKE MEANS.

The strike in the 1,20O-foot cross
cut of the Giroux rs the most i'm
portant happening in the district
since the opening up of the steam
shovel pit at Copper Flat. 1t means
new life for the camp, a life which
will be throbbing with energ and
production for fifty years TO come.
The district is known the world over
as the lowest of low cost production
of copper, and for the immensely Of
its porphyry deposits. In addition TO
the porphyry deposits there is an
area of limestone, perhaps not equal
led in extent any place In the world
In view of the developments in the
porphyries the limestone has been a
despised formation here for several
years. Copper men were looking for
nothing but the p~orphyry area.
Inc limestone was neglected until
development forced it upon the
notice of the mining men. 1t was
known that they had ore in their
limestone section in the Giroux, but
o-srn4 - sh4 AInho kaar noe
theoretical until this new find in the
Giroux shaft demonstrated that
there is rich ore at depth in the mine.
Previous to this they had opened a
big body of high grade ore in the
ontae of the limestone and por-
phyry in the Ely Consolidated at the
400-foot level. At the 500 the booy
widened out, grew stronger and rich
er, the sulphides continuing TO carry
two per cent copper with $3.50 a ton
in the precious metals, and the high
grade assaying as high as 20 per cent,
and now they have started sinking to
the 500. In the Boston Ely they have
encountered similar high grade at
the 1,245 mark.
This demonstrates that Ely Is a
deep mining camp with rich values at
depth, in addition to the great por-
phyry dispositions, and there is reason
to believe that the limestone belt ex-
tending down through the Robinson
Canyon will return just as good
values as the properties in the upper
ranges. 1t is on the cards that there
is a deal on with the Mcdonald Ely
and the Centennial Development

for this grand jury TO facilitate the
investigation in hand.
The grand jury begs to refer YOU
to the detailed statement of State
License and Bullion Tax Agent L. F.
Adamson, which accompanies this
report, as to the apparent amount of
the shortage of Sheriff Butler In the
matter of state and county license
money collected by him. There is
also an apparent shortage of fees
amounting to $4,000 collected by
Sheriff Butler and not turned II by
him.
We have conferred with the board
of county commissioners relative to
the proposed cutoff on the Hamilton
road and beg to report they have in
formed the jury that they will again
advertise for bids on this work, and
will consider the adyisability of hay-
ing the work done IL the bids re-
celNed are reasonable.
In the matter of Indians securing
liquor. ii is the Judgment of the grand
jury that much of the liquor secured
by the Indians is obtained from that
vicinity known as Chinatown. The
city marshal of Ely and the under
sheriff were called before your grand
jury and instructed to see that the
Indians are kept out of that part of
the town, unless they can clearly
show they have business there. The
officers were further advised to in
form the holders of county licenses
in Chinatown that their licenses will
be cancelled unless this is done. And
we hereby recommend to the board
of county commissioners that they
cancel these licenses II the conditions
that obtain at present are not chang
ed and the sale of liquor to Indians
is not stopped.
A report and itemized statement
by j. II. Watson, showing the de-
tailed cost of Improvements made on
the grounds at the county court
house up to January |, 1911. also
accompanies this report. The ex-

penditure of the money for beautify-
ing and improving the county court
house grounds meets with the ap-
proyal of the grand jury and we COM
mend the board of county commits
sioners for causing the work to be
done. We trust the balance of the
work a. planned Will be carried out
as economically and thoroughly as
that already completed, and that the
attractiyeness of the court house
grounds Will be an incentive and an
encouragement TO individual proper
~ owners In Ely to do their share
toward beautifying the city.
Our committee appointed 10 ex-
anime the bonds of all county officials
reported finding some OF them defic-
lent. This has been called to the at
tention of the county commission
ers. The report of the committee is
attached hereto.
In conclusion your grand jury
desire TO thank the court and the dis
trict attorney for advice given and
courtesies extended. We believe the
segregation of White Pine county as
a separate juicial district has been
justified by the lessened amount of
crime in this county. as is evidenced
by the empty condition of the county
Jail. We believe the presence of a
Judge here at all times will have a
salutary effect on the criminal ele-
ment residing in this county.
In view of the fact that the work
OF auditing the county books by the
public accountants who have been
employed Will require several weeks
time. this report is intended as par
tial only, and a more complete and
maj report will be made when the
auditing work Is finished.
Respectfully submitted.

SPIRIT OF THE TINES

Good times are on the way; good

In this district everything spells
better times, and things are under

awaken 10 the fact that the tide has
set in our way. As the copper Sc

feet of the return to good times, this
district is once more the magnet
which is attracting attention and
capital. Several deals are on foot of
which we are not at liberty to speak
at this time, but the obvious in the
camp is sufficient to show us that we
are all right and that things must i'm

was learned today, though the details
could not be obtained as the law for
bids the making public of the estimates
at this time.
The opportunity for arranging this
feature came about because the sun
dry civil appropriation bill under which
teachers now are paid runs out June
30, 1912, and after that the salaries
will come under the general approprta-
ton budget. According to the present
arrangement, a teacher must pay a
substitute half her salary for the time
she teaches. In case a substitute is
required for more than thirty days.
the teacher must forfeit full pay at
the end Of that period.
1t is understood that a certain term
of sick leave will be granted teachers
with provision. for payment OF their
substitute, ard beyond this period the
old arrangement Of a teacher forfeit
ing half of her salary will hold.
Conferences regarding the estimates
Continued today and II will probably
be a week before the entire budget Is
