The answer is: WIN WITH WILSON!

The groweth of Colorado in the last
two years is astounding to the candidate
now out on their speaking itineraries.
Places that We're mere settlements ar
now hustling Villages and towns. Ranch
houses are more numerous, and alto
genther the country, especially in East
ern Colorado, has taken on entirely new
conditions. AT places where Governot
Shafroth and Governor Thomas, candi-
dates for senator, expected to speak to
only few people, they were greeted b,
large crowds. All of which goes to show
that Colorado is taking g:eat strides
and neet lr igressiye democratic pol
icies 10 aid her developement.
Among the self made men on the list
OF Democratic nominees for State offices
this fall, none answers that description
better than Edward Keating, candidate
for congressman at large. Mr. Heating
began life in a subordinate position on
the Rocky Mountain News in Denver
when boy, and worked his way up by
hard endeavors, until he reached the
highest position on the paper that OF
managing editor He was made Presi-
dent of the State Land Board by Gov
ernor Shafroth and his race in the pri-
maries this fall for the nomination for
Congress shows that his long residence
in Colorado has won him many loyal
friends. Mr. Keating's election is gen
orally conceded. He will make a speach.
making tour through this section Of tn.
state and will be heard by the voters
ueIe befor the campaign ends. He is a
dear, logical, earnest speaker, one Of
the few men who talk splendidly with
out any flights of oratory" His work
in Congress will be worth millions OF
dollars to the state, as there are few
men who know Colorado and her needs
as veil as he. Mr. Heating is only 3e
years old, but in ability on the POLITICAL
platform and power to persuade voters
he matches many OF the men of national
renown in his party.

The Nevada Consolidated COM
pany, has placed an order for two
Shea locomotives, for use on the
Copper Pit incline, which is becom-
ing too steep for locomotives of the
ordinary type to handle the loads of
ore. The Shea engines are geared in
their power transmission. which
gives additional advantage in trae-
tive force.
The Nevada Northern engine No.
40, which hauls the main line pas
senger train on the Ely-Cobre run, is
out of commission for a few days,
undergoing minor round-house re-
pairs. The ten spot is taking the
"40s' place on the daily sprint up
the long valley.
The "93," one of the n. Ms big
$50 type that pull the ore trains
over the high line from the mines to
McGill, is in the shops being fitted
as an oil burner. The railroad COM
pany is DESTROYS of making a
thorough test as to the advantages of
oil as a fuel, bearing on the ques-
tions of economy and power, as COM
pared with coal, and the results on
the 1913" will be watched with in
terest when she again goes out with
the new equipment at the head of an
ore train.
The Nevada Northern will present
ly put into service an the Ely-Cobre
run, a solid vestible train, in con-
nection with the roads passenger IA
c%ilities. The work of r~emodeling
the coaches and fitting them with
vestibules, according to the latest
approved plans. is already under way
at the local shops. The solid vesti-
bule train has distinct advantages of
safety and comfort, and patrons of
the road will appreciate the COM
paDy's policy of keeping its equip
ment up to the highest standard.

yards, and work was at once COM
menced clearing away the wreck. In
all four ears were off the track, and
three piled in a shapeless and indis-
criminate w~reckage. The fourth car
was not badly damaged and this with
the remaining cars of the train,
was pulled away and other portions
of the wreck removed so that traffic
over the ore line could be resumed.
Work of removing the dismantled
cars and repairing the track was con-
tinued during the night, and before
daylight but little trace of the acct
dent remained. But for the fearful
ending of Conductor Haviland, the
incident would not have been con-
sidered of very serious consequence.

GEORGE

George Hayiland, victim of the
wreck in the East Ely railroad yards
Wednesday afternoon, was a native
of Washington, d. c.. and his age
was AZ years and six months. He
had followed railroading from the
time he was seventeen years old and
had had many narrow escapes. He
came to the Ely district about three
and one-half years ago. Previous
to that time he had run on the main
line of the Northern Pacific railroad,
but came here from the Oregon Short
Line, where he had been a passen-
ger conductor. He was a skilled rail
road man, and after locating in Ely,
had been in charge of trains in all
departments of the Nevada Northern
freight and passenger service, having
held positions on the main line and
the suburban run TO McGill, and to
the mines. During the recent alb
sence of Conductor Jersey Fowler, of
the Ely-Cobre passenger train. Mr..
Hayiland had taken that run, and
had only returned to his duties on
the ore line within two days preeed-
ing his death.
He was a member of the Masonic
lodge at White Hall, Montana, of the
Uniform Rank X. of p, at Billings.
and also a member of the Order of
Railway Conductors, in which he was
insured for $1,000. with an accident
policy of $500.
Mr.. Haviland is survived by his
wife and five children in East Ely,
besides his father, mother, five sis
tiers and three brothers residing in
Michigan. His wife, was formerly
Miss Sarah Hay, whom he married
at Red Lodge, Montana. in 1896. The
children are Archie Haviland, aged
10 years: Lawrence, ID; Fred, TO-;
Mabel, 5; and Beatrice, 3.
His death has caused sincere sor-
row throughout the district, for he
was generally known and liked not
only by his railroad associates, but
by all who knew him for his genial
qualities and upright methods. There
is a wide expression of sympathy for
HRS wife and children who are thus
suddenly bereft of a husbands and
fathers love and protection.
The burial will take place at Bill

LARGE SHIPMENT OF
CATTLE THIS WEEK.

There is a shipment from Ely and
McGill, this week of about twelve
hundred head of cattle, most
ly yearling steers. gathered by
Frank Nevin and John Eagers from
the ranges in Nye and White Pine
counties, Nevada, and Millard eoun-
ty, Utah. A train of so cars or more
was necessary to handle the ship
ment, Nevin having ordered twenty
five cars, and Eagers thirty in which
to move the stock. Nevin's shipment
Includes 500 head sold to George
Russell & Son OF Elko, and the bal
ance of the lot goes to Southern Pa
cifc points. In addition to the ship
ment, Mr.. Nevin turned in about
seven hundred head of prime cattle
to the Ely Packing company.
Present prices quoted for beef on
the hoof place cows at four cents
and steers at five cents, the weights
averaging about 500 pounds for the
former and 1000 for the latter.
Yearlings are bringing about SIS for
heifers and $23 for steers, and $2S
for three year old steers. Dry cows
are quoted at $25. and cows with
calves $50.
The late spring has affected the
market to some extent, as a good
deal of the stock is not yet ready for
beef, and several weeks will be re-
quired to get the cattle fat enough
for killing. The scarcity of cattle on
the ranges is becoming more and
more apparent, and points to the
| time not far distant when beef for
local consumption will have to be
| shipped from outside points,

PLATINUM FOUND

The report that platinum has been
discovered in White Pine county, has
aroused interest this week in local
mining and investment circles. The
finding of this rare and valuable
metal is n Of Importance to the dis
trict, and further developments of
consequence are very probable.
The find is located on the holdings
of the Ely National Mining company,
four and one-half miles south of
Illipah, and seventeen miles from the
present terminus of the Nevada
Northern ore line at Veteran. This
latter fact is worthy of note,
as should the mines develop in a
manner to warrant, the railroad
could be extended from Veteran
whereby Hamilton ore could be ship
ped to Ely, instead of by way of Eu-
reka, as at present.
The platinum discovery resulted
from the Ely National Mining and
Milling company's search for gold.
which has been going on for some
time.
At the foot of a 127-foot shaft, a
60-foot crossut was run through a
soft, grayish composition in which
were noticed numerous small parti-
cles of an unusually heavy black sand.
The sand. and its action when pan
ned, aroused the curiosity of the pros
pectors, and after numerous tests
without results, a sample was given
TO an assayer at McGill, who has had
experience in platinum mines in Ore
gon. While the ore is of low grade,
the company believes that by a dry,
magnetic process of concentrating, a
marketable product worth $23 a ton
can be obtained, irrespective of the
gold, silver and copper values, traces
of which are shown.
That the platinum deposit extends
over a great area has already been
shown, with indications that the ore
will be found richer as the shaft is
d%eepened.
officers of the company including
President C. F. Bird of McGill. J.. c.
Wheeler of East Ely, and A. B. Col
we'll of the firm of Half & Colwell
Brothers, were at the mines, on
Thursday, Messrs. Colwell and Bird
remaining to do some surveying and
other work, bearing on future opera
tions.
The Ely National company's hold
ings comprise 10 acres, and news OF
the platinum strike will doubtless re-
suit in other claims being taken up.
A claim adjoining the Ely National
mine, is owned by A. Ferguson OF
East Ely.

MATERIAL TESTIMONIAL TO
HAVIIAND'S MEMORY

Yesterday. S. J. Courtney. yard
master at Copper Flat. came to East
Ely. and presented Mrs. Haviland
with a purse of $215.50, representing
the sympathetic thought of Mr.. Havi-
lands friends at the Flat. Ii was a
tribute in every way worthy of the
donors and to the deceased, a tribute
that not only shows the warm heart
beat of human sympathy in time of
affection and sorrow, the spirit of
which will be a comfort to the fam
lily of the deceased. but is also timely
in a material way in ministering to
the needs of a widow and children
suddenly bereft of the care and pro-
lection of the husband and parent.
The above named amount is to be
further increased by Mr.. Haviland's
Ely friends, who are one and all con-
tributing a purse which will be turn
ed oyer to Mrs. Haviland today.
