ITALIANS RIOT;
TOO MUCH PAY
DAY At ELY
PAYDAY AT MINES MAKES
THINGS LIVELY FOR THE
LABORERS.

. ELY, New, Feb. 9.-As a result
OF the payday at the mines of the
Nevada Consolidated company at
Copper Flat and the Veteran, and
the Giroux company at Kimberly,
one man, an Italian, is lying near
deaths door at the Steptoe hos
pital, with a bullet wound in the
back of his head, near the base
of the brain, three others are in
the county jail to answer charge
of disturbing the peace, and the
man who shot the Italian is still
a fugitive from justice.
In the neighborhood of 100000
was paid out to nearly 1000 men
at the mines, a majority of them
being foreigners. Upon receiving
their pay, a greater number went
to Riepetown to have their time, and
for a while that village once again
assumed the typical appearance of
a real live mining camp. Money
and booze flowed freely, free-for-
all and single-handed hstic encount-
ers were numerous, while two shoot
ing ARRAYS took place.
From Constable David Mclean,
who spent the night at the mines
and Riepetown we learn what
meager particulars are at this time
available concerning the shooting OF
the italian. whose name has not
yet been learned II appears that
the Italian was on his way from
Riepetown back 10 the Veteran
mine. where he was employed. and

RENO, Feb. "a San Francisco
paper has the following interesting
account of the trouble now existing
over the Comstock mines to which
fuel was added a few days ago by
the dismissal of Whitman Symmes
as superintendent of the Sierra
Nevada and Union mines
"A struggle has been precipitated
for the control of the Comstock
lode. The two dominating factions
have INDUCED in occasional skir-
mishes, but neither had counted on
battle at this time for the pos
session of the famous mines.
"The syndicate headed by E. j.
De Saba and other local capi-
talists has begun determined fight
to wrest control from the mines
from the trustees pool, at the
head OF which are b. F. Shaw and
Herman Zadig. two local brokers
who have long been influential in
the affairs of the Comstock.
The fight is on for the proxies
of the stockholders of the various
companies. These proxies for many
years have been in the possession
of the various brokerage eliques il
Bush street.
"The DE Saba syndicate is now
calling upon all of the. share owners
who have heretofore pledged theil
stock with the Shaw or zadig inter
ests to join with the De Saba fac
tion in the present struggle.
"The trouble has been caused by
the differences between b. F. Shaw

syndicate gained its first propert

in China and restlessness in Brit
ish Indian created an active demand
for the white metal, with the re-
suit that 1t has steadily advanced
till the 60-cent mark has been
reached, and the probability is that
it will go still higher.
OF the benefits that are to be de-
rived from the present advance in
silver 1t cannot be said that they
will be general, for the reason that
the advance so far has only added
to the wealth of the mines being
now worked and an increased in
crement to the holders of silver
bullion But If the price OF so
cents or more were to be maintained
by the government support for an
indefinite time it would be of uni
yersal benefit, because it would
mean that a great many new prop
critics would be opened up and many
thousands Of men put to work.
When the United States government
controls the price of silver. instead
of small clique of financiers,
there will be grounds for general
rejoicing. for everybody Will be
benefited.

"BOOTLEGGING" MULE
DISTRIBUTES BOOZE

Muskogee, Okla. Aug. IA rather
unusual exicse condition exists here
which has attracted the attention of
the federal government and which
is puzzle for the officials to solve.
What Uncle Sans investigators want
to know is what shall be done with a
pack mule that makes regular trips
across the line out of old Indian Ter
ritory, gets it's pack filled with liquor
and goes back again to distribute its
supply to regular customers?
The problem has been laid before
the United states district attorney
here, who is investigating. The in
formation sent to the district attor-
ney stated that the bootlegging mule
made its trips without a pilot and
that the names of its owner and the
persons who supplied the liquor were
unknown. The mules field of oper-
alton is along the line between Creek
county in the old Indian Territory
and Payne county, formerly Oklaho-
ma territory, and where the federal
liquor law does not apply. Some one
in Payne county IS said to load the
mules packs, whereupon the animal
returns across the line, stopping at
certain farm houses, where the farm
er takes out his bottle and drops the
money into the pack. What the gov
eminent officials want to find out is
who is the power "higher up" than
the mule
