have seen relief to the country

They have also seen tina. in

The inevitable outcome of
such a situation is. to exclude
the Republican party from the
consideration of all who are in
sympathy with progressive
tendencies. to eliminate the r {.
publican party from further
federation by those who have
condoned its misdeeds aud

3. The warp and wool of the
Republican party disintegrated

SOUNDNESS Of CITY
HAS BEEN PROVEN

That city of Ely bonds are regard
ed by eastern investors as a safe in
yestment is evident as a result of the
effort to redeem municipal securities
which mature in 1918. A promi-
nent resident of Chicago has written
to City Attorney Boreman, stating
that he owned city bonds which he
had purchased at premium. and that
he would refuse any proposal to dis
pose of them at their par value.
This is a statement that speaks elo-
quently for the soundness and per-
manency of the city.
c. c. Caperton, who had the con-
tract for constructing a sewer system
on Court street, notified the city
fathers last Monday night that the
work had been completed according
to requirements, and was ready for
inspection at the hands of City En-
gineer Frank w. Millard.
The amount of revenue derived by
the city from the first installment of
taxes aggregated $500, and County
Treasurer A. j. Carpenter expects to
issue a warrant in favor of the city
for the sum due.

Charles A. Walker and Frank Nevin
qualified as securities on the bonds
of the accused gamblers. After the
bail had been approved by Judge
Coleman, the prisoners were given
their freedom. 1t is understood that
the cases will be considered by the
grand jury next month.
Attempts were made by the attor-
neys for the defendants to have their
bonds reduced from $1,000 to $500
in the district court Monday, on the
ground that the nature of the crime
alleged to have been committed by
the accused justified the fixing of bail
at the minimum amount. Judge
Coleman denied the application for a
reduction in the amount of the bonds
required.

ELY PR0PERTf+ :
PAID MILLIONS
FOURTH QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
AMOUNTS TO $747,94O-BIG
PUMPING PLANT STARTED
THIS WEEK AT MeGILL.

The Nevada Consolidated Copper
company in a report just issued
covering operations for thirteen
months ending November l., 1911,
shows net earnings of s2,298,75S.
Dividends received during this period
amounted to .s1,337.S99. and the
dividends accrued but not received,
totalled $5S,533.
The company has paid its fourth
quarterly dividend during the year
amounting to $747.940, which brings
it's total dividends since 1t reached
the profit disbursement period to
S6,279.931. The current years
dividends of the Nevada Consolidat-
ed amount to almost one-half as
much as the combined dividends of
all the copper companies in Michi-
gan. Were 1t not for the fact that
the Nevada Consolidated was short
of water for the entire year. the divi-
dends would have been much higher,
and the company would have dis
million dollars.
With the starting of the big Nord-
berry pump at McGill, the Steptoe
Smelling company will be in a posi-
tlon to operate the eighth section of
the coneentrator without encounter
ing obstacles. The water problem will
no longer cause the officials any con-
eern. as the new pumping plant is
ready for operation.

Departmental meetings were held

in the various programs were George
Whitley, Miss Anna J. Rieve, Miss
Katherine Graham, Bernard Street,
Mrs. Helen R. Slichter and Miss Mat

ACTION TO STOP
SHELTER OPERATION

After having the first complaint
thrown out of the federal court for
lack of Jurisdiction. the Pacific Live
Stock company, controlled by Miller
& Lux, filed the second suit in the
district court of Lyon county during
the week against the Mason Valley
Mines company. The plaintiff will
also endeavor to secure a restrain
ing order against the further cnstruc-
tion and operation of the smelling
plant at Thompson. The question of
granting an injunction will come up
before Judge Langan. Attorney
Samuel w. Belford of East Ely will
represent the defendant corporation.
There is no special significance at
tached to the latest move of the
wealthy eattlemen, as the relief
sought is simply a repetition of the
allegations appearing in the original
complaint In the United States dis
trict court, when the Gunn-Thomp-
son interests won a decided victory
The complaint sets up ownership
of 10000 acres of land In Mason val
ley. and that defendant company is
now ready to begin the operation of a
smelter, the fumes from which, 1t is
alleged. will be very damaging to
vegetation, and injuring plaintiff in
the neighborhood of 100000. Mr.
Belford is confident, however. that
Miller and Lux will be unsuccessful
in obtaining an injunction.

every part of the second supervision
district, embracing White Pine, Eu-
reka and Lander counties, were
present last Monday morning when
the second teachers institute was
called to order in the public school
building at Ely.
The attendance this year is heavier
than at any previous gathering, and
in many respects the convention was
of more vital interest to the school
life of the county, and more enter
tanning in its discussions than any
of it's predecessors.
DR.. Frank E. Thompson, dean of
the department of education at the
University of Colorado, was the chief
lecturer, and DIR. George Ordahl of
the University of Nevada delivered
several addresses of an interesting
and instructive nature during the
week. John Edward Bray, superin-
tendent of public instruction, also

May Levy Assessment.

Although all other copper shares
showed a substantial Improvement
last Friday, Boston Ely declined con-
siderably. The downward tendency
of that stock gave rise ii the impress
sion that the directors had either
levied an assessment or were contem-
plating such a move. Eastern finan-
cial journals declared about six weeks
ago that the Boston Ely would be
financed through the sale of treasury
stock. but 1t seems as If that PROPOSE
tion had died a natural death.
