MET WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Mrs. A.. Affrsnchino Thrown From Buggy
at Depot Last Night and Painfully
Injured

Shortly after the arrival of the
train from Palisade here last evening
about $50, quite a serious accident
happened at the depot. Mrs. A. At
franchino of Prospect, who returned
on the train from a couple of months
visit with her son, Joseph Sri, and
his wife at Winnemucca, Nevada,
was thrown from a buggy and quite
badly hurt.
Her son, Ernest Affranchino. had
met her at the train with his horse
and buggy. He had helped his
mother in, and just got into the bug
gy himself and taken hold of the lines
when the horse bolted. The animal
plunged to the right and then to the
left, throwing both of them out.
Mr.. Affranchino escaped without
injury, but his mother fell on her
left shoulder, dislocating it, and
struck on her side, i~nficting a pain
full injury. She was carried into the
waiting room at the depot and agent
w. r. Reynolds telephoned up town
for the doctor. The Fletcher wagon
cite, which had not yet been unhitch-
ed, at once returned to the depot with
DIR. Roberts. The Doctor advised
that Mrs. Affranchino be brought to
town, and he accompanied her and
her son to the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Morrison on Spring
street, where he attended her, put
ting her shoulder in place and MAX
ing her rs comfortable as possible.
After making a thorough examina-
ton the Doctor felt satisfied that the
extent of her injuries were not of a
serious nature.
Her husband, who is employed at
the Alkali mines, was notified of his
wife's accident and came down to Eu-
reka last night.
After throwing Mrs. Affranchino
and her son out of the buggythe horse
struck out for his home at Prospect,
a distance of about four miles, and
he was found standing at the barn
door several hours after the accident
by l.. Gibellini. Neither the horse
nor the buggy were apparently dam
aged. Mrs. Affranchino's purse and
umbrella were thrown out of the bug
gy near the Richmond dump and were
recovered this morning.

BUckHORH MINES WILL

Owing to the heavy storms that

the past Summer mill construction at
the property of the Buckhorn Mines
Company is approximately a month

The mill and power plant will cost
in the neighborhood of $40O, 900 when

of the mine proper, and supplies
worth $100, 900 will be laid in for the

TRUCKS FOR HAMILTON ORES
Mining Companies Adding New
Equipment and Preparing to
Continue Work During the
Winter

Last weeks Ely Record says: w
b. Blerce, president and general
manager of the Hamilton Power
Mining and Transportation Companv
which has made a pronounced success
of its operations at Hamilton during
the past year, arrived in Ely yester-
day from Blackhorse, where he pur-
chased the surface equipment of the
Amalgamated Nevada Company. The
plant consists of a 15-horsepower
single drum hoist and a direct con-
nected gasoline compressor of 20
horsepower, together with drills etc.
The plant is nov on the way from
the eastern part of the county to
Hamilton, where it is expected to
be set up and in commission by the
first of the month.
The company has shipped eight
cars of ore during the present year
and now has two cars of ore on the
dumps awaiting teams to haul it to
Eureka for shipment. Nearly all of
this ore has averaged better than 500
per ton, the receipts from which not
only paid operating expenses, but
left handsome profit besides, from
which $4,000 vas used in grading for
a two-mile pipe line for the electric
plant and also in road work.
The company is now working II
men, and the mine has more ore in
sight than ever before, the vein ay-
eraging 8 feet in width of ore run
ming better than 500. The manage
ment is now arranging for trucks to
haul the ore from the mines to Eu-
reka, which will greatly facilitate the
output. Mr.. Bierce states that the
company would prefer to ship
through Ely, which is the natural sup
ply point for the mines, but under
existing conditions this cannot be
done at the present time.
With the output of this property
and the ore that will soon be going
forward from the Jennie A. mine
upon which A. B. Witcher and John
Nyce have secured a lease, it is ex-
pected that several trucks will be
used in hauling ore from the mines to
Eureka. When these lines have
been established it is natural that the
business of Hamilton will be trans
ferred from Ely to Eureka, to the
direct loss of Ely merchants. AS the
camp of Hamilton builds up, as it
will under present conditions, this
business will soon grow into great
Importance.

that it will reduce the rate on pota-
toes in carload lots from Eureka to

to $3.50 per ton, plus 25 cents a ton
transfer charges at Palisade, a reduc-
ton of $3.50 per ton. This adjust

LOCAL RAILWAY MATTER
UP FOR RE-HEAR|NG
People of Eureka and Vicinity
Forward Petition Asking For
Reduction of Rate on Low
Grade Ores

The rehearing before the Nevada
Railroad Commission of the case of
the Richmond Eureka Mining Com
pany VS.. the Eureka-N Nevada Railway
Company, wherein the latter COM
pany filed a protest against the Com
missions opinion as to what would
be a fair rate on low grade ores from
Ruby Hill to Palisade, was probably
commenced at Carson yesterday, No
vember Il, the Commission having
granted the railway company a post
ponement to that date.
Recently the following petition
protesting against the present con.
dition the high rate on low grade
ores had brought to the people of Eu.
reka and vicinity, and asking the
Railroad Commission for relief, was
generally signed by all people doing
business here and by many others
VINO have interests in this end of the
county.
THE PETITION
To The Honorable, The Railroad
Commission of Nevada, Carson City,
Nevada.
Gentlemen: We the undersigned,
residents of the towns of Eureka,
Ruby Hill and contingent territory,
situate in Eureka County. State of
Nevada, most respectfully petition
your Honorable Board to establish
such rates over the Eureka Nevada
Railway, governing the ~transporta-
ton of the low grade ores out of this
district, as will allow US to take our
rightful place among the producing
camps of the State.
The rates effective to-day on the
said Eureka-Nevada Railway, oper-
ated by the Nevada Transportation
Company, Lessee, are p%rohibitive in
so far as they tend to build up the
resources of our community, but
with the establishment of rates which
will allow the movement of our low
grade ores, there is no doubt but
what an immense tonnage would be
available.
The condition of our community
at the present time is deplorable;
business is at a standstill, property
values are suffering, and unless some
relief is forthcoming the future of
our community looks dark indeed.
Very respectfully yours,
