New Company With Plenty Of
Resources to Develop Tung-
stem Claims in County
HIGH VALUES IN RARE METAL
PROMINENT RESIDENTS OF SALT
LAKE WILL INSTITUTE WORK
ON OLSON-SIMS HOLDINGS IN
RED HILLS.

Boosting of its ability to supply
tungsten ore worth 1876 ton.
which runs fifty to sixty per cent in
that precious metal, with streaks of
bismuth here and there as high as
thirty-two per cent of $1,000 a ton.
the American Rare Metals company
filed articles of incorporation In
Salt Lake last Wednesday.
The organizers are planning to de-
veolp an attractive six-claim pr0po-
sition seyenty-five miles east of Ely,
and only seven miles from the Utah
inle. The company has 1 100000
shares with $4,000 still in the treas
ury.
The officers are jeremiah Nolan.
president j. T. Burns, vice president;
c. L.. Olson, secretary and treasurer,
who with James and Edward Nolan
make the directorate. The mineral
holdings have. been taken over under
$4,000 option from Casten Olsen
and G. g. Sims of Spring Valley.
The country rock where the new
company proposes to operate is gran
tie. This Is assured by eight parallel
north-south veins and several cross
assures which can be distinctly trac-
ed through the property for a dis
tance of more than 900 feet.
Outside of a number of prospects
holes and shallow pits and open cuts,
none of which are more than twenty
five feet deep, little work has been
accomplished on the property. 1t is
the belief of the officials that they
will have no trouble in taking sew
eral carloads right off the surface.
which has been heavily eroded, ex-
posing the ore.
Slabs as large as a mans hand
of almost pure tungsten have been
pried off. The richest streaks are
about ten inches wide, but in places
the vein widens out to ten feet near
the surface. 1t is the intention to
put a force of men to work within
three weeks IL the weather Is
favorable.

WORK Is INSTITUTED
ON ELY-NEVADA CLAIMS.

Active exploration work was re-
sumed Sunday on the properties of
the Ely Nevada Copper company
under the direction of Fred III.
Strelhke. Ten men are employed
in proving up the resources of the
large mineral acreage which is con-
trolled by Tex Rickard and AL ID.
Myers. They believe that large
bodies of commercial ore will be
opened up II the ground is properly
developed.
The. claims belonging to the Ely
Nevada lie contiguous to the Jupi-
ter group of the Nevada Consolidat-
ed on the east and south, and al
though only limited amount of de-
velopment work was done, some ex-
cellent gold and copper showing
were disclosed. A shaft has been
sunk on the properties to a depth of
100 feet.

No Interference
WithBadLands
UNDER DECISION OF SUPREME
COURT LIMIT FOR HOUSE IN
RESTRICTED DISTRICT Is DEsI-
GNATED As 400 YARDS.

Although the supreme court of
Nevada upheld the constitutionality
OF the law forbidding houses of pros
titution within 500 yards of any
school house or church, ii declared
in the same decision that the enact
ment had been superseded by the
new crimes and punishment act,
which places the limit for restricted
houses at 400 yards. The new code
became effective Monday, and there
Will be no prosecution under the
tenor of that act. 1t has been known
that all places in the tenderloin
section of this city would fall under
the pale of the old statute.
The opinion was handed down in
the case Of All Pah, celestial, who
made application to the supreme
court for a writ of habeas corpus,
which was denied. The Chinaman was
convicted in the justice court in
Reno on the charge of conducting
an immoral house within 500 yards
of school house, which was a direct
violation of the law passed by the
last legislature. All Pah immediate
ly asked for writ of habeas in the
higher tribunal. but without actual
encouragement, the court holding the
law to be good.
In their little game of hide and
seek with the Nevada statutes. the
Justices remarked that the new code
made provisions concerning the To-
cation of the bad lands. the old
limit of 400 yards being fixed, and
stated that this rendered void the
statute governing this particular
subject. which was approved by the
last legislature of 1911.

M'FALL IS ACCUSED
OF BEING FAkER

With issuance of a complaint in
Salt Lake against F. o. MeFall. who
is well known in the country
Blackhorse district four years ago,
the story of how a clever mining
promoter is is alleged to have seeur-
ed money from an eastern company
to develop" a rich placer district in
southern Utah and to build a placer
machine that is alleged to exist only
in the imagination was brought to
light.
McFall drew a draft on the Ma
tional Copper Bank of Salt Lake for
$50, which was supposed to be ap-
piled upon the finishing touches
to a placer machine that the de-
fiendant was to use on his placer
claims. The treasurer of the east
ern concern came to Utah to con-
duet an investigation, and found
neither the gold nor the machine to
extract the yellow metal
Repeated requests from McFall
for money. together with follow up
statements that the machine was
about ready for service aroused the
suspicious of the fasteners who
learned to their sorrow that the sup
posed placers didn't pan anything
but sand and sagebrush.
Evidence was secured to show
that the machine which McFall rep
rented as being built was not in ex-
istence During his sojourn In the
eastern part of the county McFall
was connected with several COM
panies at Blackhorse. but latter dis
posed of his interests to the Wool
leys.

[ULMER RETURNED
WITH PRETTY BRIDE

A wedding of interest to the many
friends of the groom in the Ely dis
trict occurred at Clarinda, Iowa, ors
December 2S. when H. NJ. Fulmer,
the we'll known real estate and in
surance man of East Ely. and Miss
Gertrude Apple were quietly MAR
ried.
Only the immediate family and
relatives of the bride were present
at the ceremony. after which the
newly married couple left for East
Ely, where they will make their
home. Mr.. Fulmer and his bride
arrived Tuesday evening, and were
given an enthusiastic reception by
their numerous friends.
The news of the marriage was no
surprise to the intimate associates OF
Mr.. Fulmer, as they figured that the
object of his trip to the middle west
was matrimony. The prophecy came
true, when telegram was received
here last week conveying the infor-
nation that he had been joined In the
bonds of wedlock.
The bride is an attractive young
woman. and is well known and
popular in her home town.

RICE STILL IN JAIL
FOR JURY BR|B|MG

George Graham Rice, the master
mind of the firm of b. II. Scheftels
must remain in the Toombs at New
York until tomorrow, when the trial
is resumed. and thereafter if the
federal judge deems il advisable.
This was the decision of the court
when motion for release of Rice was
argued by counsel.
Prior to the commencement of
others" reads the opinion of Judge
Ray. "the defendant had been ad-
mitted TO bail. He appeared and
plead not guilty TO the Indictment,
and the trial thereon commenced.
No bench warrant was issued until
December %, when circumstances
arose. which. in the judgment of the
United States attorney. made the
actual apprehension of the defen-
dant necessary.
Conditions are such that, in the
opinion of the court. the presence of
Rice during the trial, and, If neees-
sary thereafter, can only be secured
and the jury protected against un-
lawful approaches and attempts to
corrupt by holding in actual
custody"
None of the representatives of the
government in the prosecution of
Rice and his crowd have expressed
willingness TO discuss the likelihood
of other arrests because of tamper-
ing with the jury.

SLOT MACHINES
ON RETIRED LIST

The slot machine has disap-
peared. No longer will this trade
device grace the bars of saloons and
counters OF cigar stores. Under
the provisions of the new crime and
punishments act which went into ef-
fleet at midnight Sunday, the slot
machine was dealt solar plexus by
the state authorities. Just before
1911 was breathing its last faint
gasp, the machines were consigned
their owners TO garrets, and store
houses to accumulate the dust of
years TO come.
Attorney General Barker rendered
an opinion declaring that the operat-
ing of slot machines after the begin
ming of the new year was Illegal, and
submitted his ideas TO District At
torney McFadden. who notified all
persons In the district operating ma
chimes that the law must be obeyed
by everyone.
The boys about the city Sunday
night took their last swing at their
favorlte sport. before the operation
of the legal machinery deprived them
of one of their pleasures. The ma
chimes are now being draped with
crepe awaiting further legislative
action before they will again be per-
mitted to see the light of day.

Long Hatpins
in Bad Repute
WOMEN WHO WEAR SHARP
STEELS WHICH EXTEND HALF
INCH BEYOND CROWN OF HAT
MAY BE ARRESTED.

The gentler sex are expected to
take warning A police officer is
liable to grab you until you take
necessary precautions. The new
code, which went into effect last
Wednesday states that any person
wearing a halpin, the point of which
protrudes over half an inch beyond
the crown of the hat is guilty of a
misdemeanor, the penalty for which
shall be six months sentence in the
county Jail or a fine of $500.
The horrid lawmakers, who ap-
proved of the measure must have
thought that hatpins were dangerous,
as they inserted the act under the
heading of Miscellaneous crimes. I"
The act, however, does not apply to
the wearing of long hatpins at social
gatherings, pink teas, or at home or
at private functions, and will be en-
forced only when ladies venture on
the public streets, or in public places.
A similar law has been vigorously
enforced in the eastern cities, where
serious accidents have resulted from
the sharp pointed hatpins which
were allowed to protrude several in
ches from the crown of the hat. In
some instances the loss of an eye has
been reported. The local officials do
not anticipate any trouble in the en-
forcement of the law. but, neverthe-
less, they will be on the lookout for
any hatpins beyond the prescribed
length.

The truth of the rumors which have
been given general circulation for
the last two months means that the
Giroux finally stands chance of
coming into its own, and that il will
be placed on a producing basis not
later than April l. There is no
doubt but that one section of the
concentrator will be devoted exclu-
sively to the handling of Giroux ores,
and this proceeding will require the
output of about 1,200 tons daily. The
property is already in a position for
the outputting of a heavy tonnage,
which could be maintained without
cessation for a long period.

require a working force of approx
mately 400 men, while the running
of the concentrator at McGill to its
full capacity will mean the employ
ment of an additional 200 men.
The present capacity of the Step
toe plant could be exceeded right
now except for the loss of time in
cident to the unloading of frozen
ores from the steam shovel pit at the
trestle. This will be obviated
shortly upon the arrival of warmer
weather, and the plant will be in a
position to treat up to its capacity.
