"A Squeak From a .Rat.


The Ohio Valley News, a weekly pa
per Of this city, whose existence has
long been mystery to-the few who
are aware Of 1t, has opened the local
Bull Moose campaign. This paper,
which is an echo of the Times, also
mimics their style of trying to dis
credit che Socialists by publishing
what they know to be deliberate lies.
The case of George Schell, who was
fined $4,000 and costs last Thursday
evening for running speak easy, was
written up by the "Whacker' as be-
ing the Socialist headquarters, and
that if the case had come to trial a
number of Socialists would have been
subpoenaeds as witnesses. While we
will not say, none of these men WHO
were known to have been in, the place
were Socialists, we know chat not one
of them was a member Of the local
Socialist club. Their, politics wasn't
questioned, but it's cinch that If
there was three or more two-thirds
of them vote the Socialist ticket, for
| that is the average percentage of any
gathering of working men in this city
whether they drink in speak easy or
at a soda fountain. The "Moos" is
safe in calling eight out of every ter
voters Socialists, but they are not, all
red card men. Mayor Newton Wyckoff
i when he read the article in the News,
l'mailed list Of the names OF the pa.
rons of the place in question who
would have been called in case of
trial. The o. v. N. has permission to
publish these names, but they will not
as among them is an advertiser in
their columns and others who. are
well known in Little Business. .
They cannot afford to offend their ad-
vertisers neither can they stand fall
ing off in subscription. The Lackeys
of the Spiked Club" must stick to
the truth as far as the Socialists are
concerned or go out of business.

CLEVER WORK IN
LOCAL CONTRACTOR.

Geo. +. Mezger the we'll known To-
cal contractor. has just completed
the installation of two large cases
in the Golden Rule stores in Ely and
McGill. which would be a credit to
any manufacturer of this line of
store fixtures or any store. There
arc two rows of large drawers at the
bottom and the sections above are
fitted with sliding glass doors 2Sx40
inches, the entire case being of polish
ed oak. Mr.. Mezger has been a resi-
dent of the Ely district for thirty
years and during this time has al
ways been a member of the local
union and employed union labor.
That such work can be done here and
that merchants give preference to
home labor in such instances is a
credit to the district.

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
WANTS DIRECT ROUTE

In order to guide auto tourists
across the continent in as direct a
line as possible and over the best
roads. the Ely Commercial league is
urging the citizens of Fallon to have
sign boards placed on the different
roads in Churchill county.
Secretary G. s. Hoag has written
to /. II. Kent. prominent merchant
at Fallon. conveying the informa-
ton that the signs are furnished free
of charge by tire company. and that
sign boards have been placed across
the continent from the east to Salt
Lake and from San Francisco to Reno.
The only link missing at present is
between Salt Lake and Reno.
The Commercial league In this city
is planning TO have the boards placed
through Eureka and Lander counties
into Churchill county, and are con-
fident that the business men of Fallon

CIROUX TO BEGIN
SHIPPING SOON

Although the charming inconsis-
tency OF local weather during the
last three weeks has retarded the
management to some extent In
rounding the property in shape for
production, regular shipments from
the Giroux mines to the McGill works
of the Steptoe company are expected
to begin this week in accordance
with an agreement which was entered
into between the two big corpora
tions last January. The Grioux now
stands a chance OF finally coming
into its own, and will soon be enter
ed among the list of dividend payers
in the Ely district. AS copper has
attained a price above 16 cents a
pound. the future prospects of the
Giroux Consolidated are indeed pro-
pitious.
The Bunker Hill and Morris
shafts. where the bulk of porphyry
ores will be extracted, are now in a
position for the outputting of heavy
tonnage, and the maximum of 1,20O
tons daily could be maintained even
with the temporary equipment
should such a condition be exacted.
The sheave wheels for the head
f.sof -
arrived, but arrangements have been
made SO that the ore taken out in
course of regular explorations can
be handled without inconvenience
The enormous ore bins into which
the ores will be dumped before be-
ing loaded into the cars are not
ready for use, but through the
medium of a temporary trestle this
difficulty will be ohviated, while the
task of finishing the ore bins is in
progress.
The contract covers a period of five
years and may be terminated by
either party upon years notice. II
provides for the treatment of at least
900 tons a day, with the maximum
tonnage limited to 1900 tons. AS II
is the desire of the Cole-Ryan inter
ests to make the property self-sus-
tanning. the porphyry ores will first
receive attention, and the develop
ment of the direct smelling ores will
be one of the possibilities of the near
future.

Joseph Watson
Called to Rest
YOUNG MAN, WHO WAS BORN IN
ROBINSON DISTRICT, ANSWERS
SUMMONS OF GRIM REAPER AT
SPARKS LAST MONDAY NIGHT.

Death closed the eyes of Joseph s.
Watson, at Sparks, last Monday night
following an Illness which became
noticeable about ten days ago. The
end was not unexpected as his inti-
mate associates realized that the in
sidious disease was stronger than
medical science. He answered the
last summons before his sister Mrs.
P. J. Jackson of this city, was able
to reach his bedside.
The diseased was born In Robin
son canyon thirty years ago, and was
one of the best known and most
popular young man in this locality
1t was always sunshine with him
and If there was anything troubling
friends, and they knew him for moth
ing but the greatest disciple of opti-
mism. He was noted for his sympa-
thy to those in distress, and devotion
to his family. Joe" was a man of
fine character and had impressed his
personality upon those who had ac-
quired his friendship.
His father, Allison r. Watson, was
one of the pioneer prospectors in the
Robinson district, and owned the
Joana mine, which first brought Ely
to the attention of the mining world.
The deceased spent the greater part
of his short life in this city. He was
the original locator of several of the
noted producers at Goldfield, when
IL was known as the Grandpa district,
but was unable to retain his holdings
until the phenomenal boom several
years later. He has been interested
with his brother, William, in a lease
at Manhattan for the last year
The remains were prepared for
burial at the parlors of Grosbeck
& O'Brien in Reno, and were escort
ed to the train by old time friends.
Mrs. p. ]. Jackson accompanied the
body to this city

which will cover two city lots. and
concrete blocks will quite likely be
selected in preference to brick. as
the promoters of the enterprise are
desirous of distributing most of the
expenditures within the district.
The second story Will be set
aside entirely for the use of the diff
ferent lodges. and It is anticipated
that sufficient aid will be secured so
that the upper floor will be rented
every night in the week II will be
equipped with all modern appliances.

ATTORNEY WILL RECEIVE MOTH
ING FOR ASSISTING PROsECU-
TION IN McMURRAY CASE AS
CLAIM Is HELD INVALED.

Involving the payment of $500 to
s. w. Belford for assisting the dis
trict attorney in the prosecution of
the case of ]. H. McMurray, charged
with embezzlement, the defendants
announced In the district court yes
terday morning that they desired to
withdraw their answer in the suit of
Anthony Jurich against the board of
county commissioners, and consent
ed to the entry of judgment for the
plaintiff.
The claim of Belford against White
Pine county was also declared invalid
by Judge Coleman, and the commits
sioners were restrained from approx
ing any demand of the applicant for
services as special prosecutor.
Action was brought last June by
Anthony Jurich to prevent the pay
ment of the money to Belford' on the
ground that the services were not
rendered in pursuance of any agree
ment. and for the reason that no con-
tract had been entered into by the
commissioners for his services as
legal advisor. II was the contention
OF the plaintiff that the employment
was either gratuitous. or brought
about through an arrangement with
private individuals and that the
county was not a party.
The complaint alleged that at the
time OF the consultation, the district
attorney was not absent from the
county, but was engaged in the per-
formance of his regular duties.
Written objections against the al
lowance of the bill had been filed
with the county board by Mr.. Jurieh
before taking legal action.
