NELSON AND ANTOINE
ARE DENIED PAROLES

F, Having heard thirty-three applica-
tons from convicts, who had become
tired of involuntary confinement, two
of which were from White Pine
county, the board of pardons con-
cluded its duties at Carson City last
Tuesday after granting ten paroles.
o. b. Nelson, who was given ten
years in the p%enitentiary for man
slaughter about fifteen months ago,
made an unsuccessful attempt to OBJ
tain his release on parole, Nelson
killed b. H. Klink, a steam shovel
operator at Copper Flat in September
1910 without apparent provocation.
while he was under the influence of
liquor.
He was indicted by the grand jury
for murder, but was allowed to plead
guilty to manslaughter by Judge
Mitchell, because some doubt was ex-
pressed as to the defendants insanity.
His petition was denied by the board
upon making an investigation into
the circumstances surrounding the
cold blooded murder.
Jim Anton, a Greek. who is serving
four years behind prison bars for
embezzling about $500 from Mike
Bosta, a sloonkeeper at Smelterville,
also had his petition for a parole
denied. Anton was employed by
Bosta TO solicit orders and make de-
livery of beer in the Crock quarters
at McGIl, and after making the usual
paw day collections, disappeared.
He attempted to leave for parts
unknown, when he was intercepted
by the officers. Anton was convicted
in the district couc:, after he hac
arailed himself of every technieality
the law affords
W' h but one exception all the
cases in which paroles were

HEARING OF PROTEST
AGAINST LAND ENTRY

Whether a certain tract of land
near Currie station Is more valuable
for stone quarry or for agricultural
purposes will be definitely determin-
ed as a result of a protest that has
been filed In the United States land
Office at Carson by the Ely Securities
company against the application of
r. c. Currie for 100 acres of land
under the desert land entry.
The hearing of the protest was
concluded before the county clerk
Wednesday afternoon. and the neces-
sary papers have been forwarded to
the land office. A decision will be
handed down shortly by the federal
officials.
The land involved in dispute has
been owned by the Ely Securities
company for more than five years
under the stone and quarry act. The
stone used In the building of the Ne
vada Northern depot at East Ely was
taken from this tract. and was used
in the construction of a number of
ether homes in the railroad town.
Among those who testified at the
hearing were f. A. MeDermid of
Cloyerdale. c. r. Edison and
Charles Phalan of Currie and +. W.
Willard of Ely.
Attorney S. w. Bedford appeared
for the protestant, while the inter
ests of Mr.. Currie We're attended 10

tom ore. The output is in excess of
1000 900 pounds of copper a month
and the cost is very satisfactory. Gus
tom ore business is developing very
rapidly and there are already over
twenty shippers.
THE remodeling of the Arthur
plant of the Utah Copper Co., will be
completed in August and the proper
ty at hat time will be producing in
excess of $50, 900 900 pounds a year.
Including their share of the Nevada
Consolidated production the total
output will be close to 100000, 600
pounds a year at a seven-eent cost for
both properties. Great Roadway is
ing the overburden. There is still
considerable waste in the ore but by
fall it will not be as severe which wi
result In a further decrease in cost.
By that time it is estimated that
Uta, based on the present price OF
copper, will be earning in excess of
$40 a share. AS a matter Of fact its
earnings are now in the n%eighbor-
hood Of 500 a share.
Inc copper situation is all that
copper producers could desire. In
view of the fact that consumption last
year was f00.00o.000 pounds in ex-
cess of production it would appear
that the increased output this year
would fall short of satisfying de
manda of consumers. As IL is, pro
dueers are having a hard time satify-
ing The demand for copper on a basis
of present prices.

MUNTER TO RECEIVE
SECOND HEARING

Because of irregularities which had
occurred in the lower tribunal, Au-
gust Munter. a prominent mining
operator, who was fined $500 last De-
toher for participating in a shooting
ARRAY at Hamilton with Nick La
polla in which thirteen shots were
discharged at close range without any
fatalities being reported, must be
given a second hearing in the justice
court for the same offense, according
to a decision handed down by Judge
Coleman on the motion of District At
torney McFadden to dismiss the ap-
peal from the justice court.
in denying the request of the state,
the court holds that the appeal taken
by the defendant to the district court
is still effective. and designated next
Thursday as the date for the second
trial.
After Munter had entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of carrying a
concealed weapon, the law allows a
defendant six hours before sentence
az be imposed. A heavy fine was
melted out to the accused before suf-
fieient time had elapsed. and this
failure 10 comply with the strict re-
auirements of the statute prompted
the court to deny the motion to dis
miss the appeal.
While both were under the I'M
nuence of liquor, Munter and La
polla became involved in a quarrel
ON the main streets of Hamilton. and
both began firing at one another
Nunter received a wound in the
abdomen that was not serious i'm its

shots were wasted en- The desert air.

fore the clay beds nearer the surface
were formed.
Owing to the large amoun of
quicksand that was struck near the
surface, 1t was necessary for the
management to use a ten inch pipe
for the first 900 feet. At this point
the size of the pipe will be reduced
10 seven inches, and after several
hundred feet more has been attained
In depth. a five inch pipe will be sub
stituted. 1t is the impression of the
officials of the company that the pot
ash will be found in a soluble form.
The report of Superintendent d. H.
Walker in regard to drilling opera
tions reads in part as follows:
THE quicksand at a depth of IFS
feet gave us considerable trouble,
often rising from 80 to IS feet in a
few moments. This would pack hard
inside the casing as hard as cement,
an" 'he ohis way we succeeueu III

suspension, SO that it could be bailed
II was to feed clay from the sur
face.
THE quicksand form continued
from 17S-foot depth to the 214-foot
depth, where we passed through a
clay Strata about six feet thick. At
about 220 feet depth we ran into
small layers of quieksand mixed with
coarse gravel with a third artesin
flow. All waters are practically
fresh or slightly alkaline. Equipment

COUNCIL MAY CREATE
NEW SEWER DISTRICT

The residents of Canon street may
be provided with sewer facilities, If
the plans of the city council are final
ly eonsummated. The ACCESSIBILITY of
creating another district in
that portion of the city occupied the
attention of that body last Monday
night to the exclusion of most every
thing else.
The engineer was instructed to
make a preliminary estimate as to
the cost of construction of the new
system. If a majority of the proper
ty owners On Canon street petition
the council for a sewer, the city faith
ers will undoubtedly sanction the
proposition.
The idea of extending the storm
sewer through land owned by the
county to a point below the office of
the telephone company was also con-
sidercd. The city engineer was au-
thorized to confer with the commits
sioners with regard TO the proposed
extention.
The claim of the city against
Adams & MeGill for the damaging of
a bridge OF Lyons avenue as a result
of the monster traction engine crash
ing through it was approved by the
council, with instructions that the
bill be presented to the firm for
settlement.
