would be benefited were freight rates
reduced, and the bulk of this business
will not be moved until there has
been a reduction made in the freight
charges. The Nevada state railroad
commission was appealed to by the
shippers when it became apparent
that the shippers and the railroad of
ficials could not come to any agree
ment satisfactory to everyone con-
cerned.
The business involved is principally
ores. One of the largest tonnages
awaiting transportation to the Salt
Lake smelters, is on the properties Of
the United States Smelling. Refining
and Mining company. The ore is of
grade that will not stand the
present rates A speedy hearing may
be granted by the state commission
of Nevada, in the attempt to come to
n final conclusion in the matter.

DIX '"ADLFiGH GETS FIRST DEER

instruction of bringing down the first

the chase that followed, DR.. Wad-

shot and wounded. but succeeded in
getting away.
some eonseienceless miscreant
started a rumor to the effect that DR.
Wadleigh happened along with his
machine just after the Indian had
slain the deer, and volunteered to
bring IL In for him. There Is abso-
lutely no truth in it and the report
has caused the doctor to suffer great
mental anguish. not only because he
feels II unjust to underestimate his
Workmanship but more because any
one should doubt his word. Indian
Billy has offered to put his mark on
an affidavit that the deer was shot
by the doctor, and further, 1t was not

The Nevada Transportation com

Palisade Railroad company. as the
owner of the line from Eureka TO
Palisade, Nevada, has filed protest
with the Nevada state railroad com
mission to the finding of the commits
sion on September 10. This decision
was rendered by the commission in
the matter of railroad freight rates
from Eureka, and involved some re-
ductions in the existing rates which
producers have alleged all along to
be excessive.
The company desires to present
some matters before the commission.

the contention of the officials of the
company, that freight rates are not
excessive in view of conditions.

LEASE BATTLE ANE NINE.

Charles Osterlund and Others
from Ely, have secured by
lease and bond, the Battle Axe group
of mines at Willow Greek, the hold
ings being taken over for considera-
ton of $4,000, from Dr. Holmquist,
Ed. Wilson and Charles Walker. Ac-
cording to the terms of the lease, so
shifts per month must be done on
the property, and 20 per cent royal
ty is specified on all ore shipped, the
royalty not to apply on the purchase
price.
The leasers include Messrs. Oster-
lund, Charles Wilson, NJ. H. Breen,
Lon. Schrader and Jack Murnum.
Mr.. Osterlund has become very
actively associated with the develop
ment of Willow Creek, being one of
the directors of the Willow Creek
Gold Mining company, which has be-
come prominent in the public eye, by
reason of the continued rich strikes
of high grade gold-silyer ore. He has
devoted a lot of time to work and in
vestigation and is familiar with the
Battle Axe proposition, which is
situated on the south side of the
new camp, and shows good.

RETURNS.

w. c. Goodman of the Willow
Creek Gold Mining company, who
went to Salt Lake City, with nine
sacks of high grade ore. sent reports
to Ely. that the lot proved to be
worth an average of $4,000 per ton
The lot sent to Salt Lake weighed 502
pounds at shipment, but after being
dried and crushed the weight was re-
duced to 440 pounds. The figures are
considerably in excess of what con-
seryative mining men expected, SO un-
certain are the samples of high grade

the company are naturally elated
over the returns and the development
work at the mines will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. Mr.. Goodman.

to be considered Is a wagon road up
the valley to the mine and the mining
company has made an offer to the
Nye county commissioners, to bear
one-half of the expense If the county
will pay the remaining amount to-
wards the construction of the road.
The building of the road will be

UNABLE TO FIN CAUSE

The accident at Copper Flat, on
the night OF October 10, whereby
Earl A. Wall, fireman on locomotive
No. 339. was fatally injured. was con-
sidered by Coroner A. ]. Cartwright
and a jury composed of II. w. Ed
wards, Il. L. Fletcher. Henry Greve,
J. r. Hogue. W. d. Bush and Louis
Frasier. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, including C. o. Bonner, en-
gineer Of the locomotive on which
Wall was killed, ]. A. Reed. brake
man, and C. A. Evans, engineer of
train No 1876, which was struck by
Wall as he leaned from the cab win
dow. The jury was unable TO fix the
responsibility, finding that the de-
ceased came to his death by being
crushed between two trains.

INDIAN PUPILS ARE NOT
ADMITTED TO Ely SCHOOLS

Pobation Officer Reedy succeeded
in rounding up a creditable showing
of Indian children of school age, and
number of them showed up at the
district school, Monday morning.
None We're admitted, as the condition
of the school is already crowded and
some other provision will have to be
made for the Indians. AS the In
dian parents are adverse to letting
their children go to Carson City, a
logical way out of the difficulty is to
have branch Indian school es-
tablished at Ely. 1t is believed
such a school would be well attended
and produce good results.
The superintendent of the Carson
City Indian school is expected here
within a few days, and some adjust
ment of the question will probably be
arrived at.

SURVEYING FOR
DEEP CREEK R. R.
pIynAL OF RUMOR THAT WEST.
ERN PACIFIC IL CONTEMPLATE.
ING EXTENSION OF FEEDER
LINE To ELY.

Since the announcement made by
President Bush of the Western Pa
ei6c that his coast line needed
some feeders, he has shown disposi-
ton to encourage the people along
the outlying sections of this line in
the matter of building spurs into the
country where a fair amount of
freight could be assured Some con-
struction work Is now going on in the
vicinity af Palisade, Nevada. with a
view to getting the traffic of the
Buckhorn mine and the farm lands in
the vicinity.
In this connection IL will be of in
terest TO local people TO learn that
some of the Western Pacific officials
have asked for estimates of the prob
able tonnage that could be secured
from various sections along the route
and that one of these is the Deep
Greek mining district. In this case
il is said that mining engineers have
compiled some data and that more
information on this subject is being
sought.
One of the men who is heavily In
terested In Deep Greek properties and
In other lines of trade in that section
has recently been up from Wendover
While here he said that sur
veyors have again invaded the dis
triet and that they have made some
preliminary figures on the route.
They we're preceded b. an overland
party who had gose over large sec
tlon of the country west of Gold Hill.
with the view of connecting the line
between Wendoyer and Shafter via
Ely.
For some time the Western Pacific
has been considering the construction
Of feeder into Ely and this has been
more strongly urged since the Cop
permines company has taken up the
proposition OF constructing a mill
plant and sending its concentrates to
the International smelter at Tooele
Some of those who are familiar with
the country claim that the Western
Pacific could shorten its line to the
coast by the Deep Creek route, which
would be another advantage to mine
owners and ranchmen of that section
In the meantime Deep Greek miners
are holding out all possible induce.
ments for railroad.

Jesse b. Martsolf. representative Of
the United States Bureau of Indian
Affairs and superintendent of the
Indian school at Stewart, Nevada.
DIR. George Ordahl. professor of
education at the University of Ne
vada, will give lectures during the
institute on child study and the
theory of education. DR.. Ordahl will
speak five or six times, and will give
an evening address if required. DIR.
Ordahl is forceful as well as an en-
tertaining speaker, and his presence
at the institute will grove a treat for
all attending.
Bookkeeping will be taken up in
special department, and two sessions
a day will be conducted by Jesse r.
Crandall of the White Pine county
high school. Throughout the session
high school matters will be taken up
at round-table discussions.
Tomorrow evening teachers Will
be extended reception commencing
at 1880 O'Clock, at the Ely school
house, and the reception will be fol-
lowed by dancing at the Rockhill-
Shallenbarger hall, until II O'Clock.
During the week a trip will be
made to McGill, for an inspection of
the big smelling plant. and it is
very probable that some of the teach
ers will desire to go to Copper Flat
for further insight into the mining
operations of the district.
AS a pleasant social courtesy, the
University club has extended the
hospitality of the club to the gentle
men visitors. during the institute
week, and a ladies afternoon may be
arranged
1t is the wish of those in charge of
the institute, to make the week a
pleasant one for the visitors, many
of whom are required to come long
distances. If the citizens unite with
this object in view. all will return to
their homes with the pleasantest of
recollections, and the hope to come
again. The Ely district offers much
that should prove of interest and it
will not require much effort on the
part of citizens to see that the glad
hand is extended. Along this line
,.,oho. of autamohiIa ownars have
offered the use of their cars during
institute week, for the purpose of
giving the visitors opportunity to
visit the numerous points of interest,
quickly and pleasantly and without
much expense.
Another feature, as mentioned in
the News last Sunday, that promises
interesting diversion, will be the
stock judging contest, at the Camp
ton Commercial company store.
Several lines of staple goods will be
arranged and the contestants will be
required to judge as to quality,
price and other points. This is con-
sidered a practical demonstration in
domestic science and those consider
ed the best judges will be awarded
prizes. This contest will probably
take place Thursday afternoon.
Tuesday morning Manager w +.
Collins of the Golden Rule store has
arranged a shoe judging contest for
the teachers. to take place al the

RUN ON BANKS RESULTS
FROM FALSE WAR SCARE
Trial Mobilization Of the Army Pro-
duces Panic Among Inhab-
itants Of Lorraine.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
METZ. August Is. 1913
The trial mobilization which took place
here a few days since OF the 10th Army
Corps resulted in a panic among the in
habitants of Lorraine.
The whole OF the troops were called into
the barracks and put on their active serv-
ice equipment. When they marched out
and it was discovered that every railway
station and junction between the French
and Luxembourg frontiers, including the
lines to the French fortress towns OF
Nancy and Verdun. had been occupied by
troops the report quickly spread that war
had been suddenly declared.
Run on Banks Follows.
There was a wild rush to the banks.
which were practically taken by assault.
Long lines OF panic-stricken depositor0
stood at every cashiers window through
out the morning. frantically clam
oring for their money. Many OF the
banks quickly exhausted their available
supplies of cash, and their explanation
that there was no foundation for the re-
port that war had broken out was re-
ceived with absolute skepticism.
The local branch of the German Inn
perial Bank was appealed to by several
Of the besieged establishments for assist
ance In the form of supply OF gold, but
returned a refusal in every case, on the
ground that the real explanation OF the
panic would soon become generally
known.
1t was not until the afternoon. how
ever. that the facts were realized and the
panic subsidized.
