JOHN HENRY WAS CELEBRATING

John Henry, an Indian well known
in Ely, resolved to begin the New
Year by giving his interior anatomy
a bath with fire water. He must have
procured the fire water without diff
iculty, for New Years eve he was
about as drunk an Indian as ever
tried to a~malgamate hiccoughs and
a war @hoop. The whiskey did not
send John Henry out on the war
path after scalps and gore, but he be-
came so noisy and obstreperous
that the residents on Campton street
decided be was something of a
nuisance and ought to be suppressed.
So the sheriff's office was notified
and Sheriff Grain himself went to
superintend the placing of an en-
barge on John Henry. By the time
the officials arrived Indian John had
fallen from the height of whiskey
Olympus to the state of complete
pafalyZatlon and was dead so a as
further celebrating was concerned.
John Henry weighs about 200 pounds
and was as limp as he was heavy.
He could not be pushed and the dis
lance was too far to drag him. He
was likewise too solid to lug. So a
wheelbarrow was procured, into
which the noble descendant of a once
proud race was bundled. and in this
inglorious manner wheeled to the
county Jail. John Barleyeorn had
sure got his goat. John Henry was
released from custody yesterday,
pretty much recovered from his eele-
bration, which was about the only
one along that line chronicled in Ely.

The sheriff's office will continue
under the management of C.. S.
Grain, who wen out in a stiff three
cornered fight, with a margin large
enough to prove that he was the man
the voters wanted. He took the po-
sition by appointment to fill out the
unexpifed term of A. J.. Butler,
whose sudden getaway left the af-
fairs OF the Office In a rather chaotic
and unsatisfactory condition. He has
conducted the sherif's business in a
businesslike manner and placed its
affairs in the shape they should be.
His election was merited recognition
for faithful and honest service, rem
dered in a competent, conscientious
and impartial manner.

DEATH OF WINDSOR V. RICE.

After a years illness, Windsor V.
Rice, president of the First National
Bank at Ely, died at San Diego,
California, Monday morning. AL
though a busy man of affairs and
with many large responsibilities, Mr..
Rice found time to carry on philan-
thropic work that has brought COM
fort and happiness to many. Parti-
cularly upon persons afflicted with
tubercular trouble were his good Of
fees directed.
Windsor V. Rice was a native of
Riceburg, Province of Quebec, and
was born April 6, 1S49, son of Mar
tin and Permilla Vincent Rice. He
was educated in ~Stanbridge academy,
Quebec, and came to the states when
Is years old, locating at Grand Ha-
ven, Michigan, in charge of the OF
tawa iron works, at Ferryburg, near
Grand Haven. After four years he
returned to Riceburg, and with a
younger brother formed a partner
ship, which proved a successful bust
ness venture. In 1887 he sold out
and went to Utah, and for the past
10 years had been a resident of Salt
Lake City. He was one of the origi-
nal incorporators of the Silver King
Mining company, and a director of
the Silver King Coalition Mines COM
pany. In his later years, he had de-
voted most of his time to banking
and commercial interests in Salt
Lake. although retaining much of
his mining interests in neighboring
states. He was financially interest
ed in the following institutions;
First National bank, Ely, Nevada,
First Natinal bank. Park City, Ma
tional Copper bank, Salt Lake; Cas-
tie Valley Railroad company; Keith
O'Brien company, Salt Lake; Reno
Grocery company, Reno, Nevada; Ne
vada-Douglas Copper company, Yer
%ington. Nevada; Continental Life In
surance & Investment company, Salt
Lake; Castle Valley Coal company,
and the Nevada Copper Belt Railroad
company.
He is survived by his wife. who
was formerly Mary Nellie Brown,
whom he married in 1876, and two
adopted children, Gordon and Isabel.
Mr.. Rice had never visited Ely. al
though constantly in touch with the
affairs of the bank. here.

PARCELS POST IN EFFECT.

The parcels post law went into eff
feet "Wednesday, January 1. accord
ing to schedule, and the simultan-
eous promptness with which the
people throughout the length and
breadth of the country took advan-
tage of the new system is conclusive
proof that it is to be popular, and
that within a very short time every
body will wonder how they got along
without 1t.
At the Ely post Office, the first
package sent under the new regula-
tions was deposited by Miss Maude
Norman. 1t was directed to Hill
pah, and it was from that office that
the first postal express" was re-
ceived in Ely. At East Ely, three
packages were mailed the first day,
and the business throughout the
postoffices in the district will soon
become as regular a routine as the
daily handling of ordinary mail.
Until the system is thoroughly
understood by the postmasters and
the public, there may be some con-
fusion or delay, but so far as heard
from the postmasters are already
familiar with the Requirements, and
can answer the questions of patrons
who are not wise to all the direc-
lions. The regulations are not by
any means arbitrary, but are design
ed to expedite the business. Special
parcels post stamps must be used in
every instance, or the goods will not
go as desired. The limit of weight is
eleven pounds, and the limit of
measurement is ~ inches In length
and girth combined. A package as
small as a pill box will not go If it
weighs more than eleven pounds,
nor if as light as a soap bubble If its
dimensions are more than specified.
These are the principal things to
bear in mind, and the postmasters
who are rapidly acquiring skill In
sizing up and netting. will supply the
rest of the information on applica-
ton.

eliminated entirely. while other
banks are coming into line, and are
using every endeavor to have their
overdrafts paid. or taken up by

of the present banking law, the state

Confidence is being restored, money
is easier, and more of it in the bank,
as shown by the foregoing COM

index to the situation and conditions

the following facts: Banks are carry

Embodied in the report of
the report of the state bank exami-
ner. Eugene Howell. is the follow
ing: The only recommendation l
have to make is the reduction of the
salary of the state bank examiner
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
Such recommendation is made, not
because there is any less work in
the department, or that the work
warrants the reduction, but simply
in the interests of re%trenchment and
economy. 1t is not unusual to
read of an official recommending an
increase in his salary, but to have
one request a reduction of his own
salary is somewhat startling.

THE NEW YEAR.

1t may well be doubted if n
yea has opened with much brighter
prospects than is faced by the min
ing industry in the new year now
SO near at hand, says the Denver
Mining Record.
Copper is being held under firm
control, with the price strongly main
tanned at a figure which has proven
profitable; silver has been held dur
ing the past year at an average price
much higher than in 1911, and seems
likely to maintain a good average
for some time to come; zinc has
been considerably higher, with ex-
cellent prospects of continuing around
the present figures; while lead has
maintained an average that com
pares favorably with the previous
year.
Such has been the foundation for
the prosperity of the present year,
and such again forms the basis upon
which to judge of the prosperous
conditions to be expected during the
coming year.
< The higher prices received for
these metals do not, however, form
the only foundation upon which to
base predictions for the year to come.
Back of these higher prices, and in
deed the underlying cause of
all, lies improved business conditions
throughout the country.
The demand for the finished pro-
ducts of the manufacturer has Great
ed a demand for the raw material
from the mines, and with sn output
Strained to meet the increase de-
mand, has come a natural rise in
price of the raw material.
This it may be said has been
especially true as regards zinc, with
respect to which it is predicted that
the bright outlook for the steel in
dustry must bring during 1913 an
equally strong demand for zinc.
The situation may not seem so
clear as regards copper, upon which
interest has in the main been CEN
tered throughout the past year, yet
its position has been shown to be
strong, with the outlook for a larger
consumption during the year steadi-
ly improving. The demand for this
metal. as with zine and lead, depends
upon industrial conditions in this
and other countries and 1t is known
that the use of copper in particular
is constantly increasing.
This in a measure prevents some of
the evident features of the present
situation. Throughout the length
and breadth of the mining states
have come during the past year ac-
counts of new work being put under
way, of new properties being open
ed. The new year must profit by
this work, for the time is at hand
when many of these properties will
go upon a producing basis. Gold
mining has Jared as well in this res
pect as have the branches of the in
dustry having to do with the less
precious metals.
So here's to the New Year, May
it prosper in as great degree as is
indicated in the closing days of the
old year!
