WEST END ATTACHED
BY JIM BUTLER COMPANY.

An attachment for $500, 900
against the West End Consolidated
Mining company, on application Of
the Tonopah Jim Butler Mining COM
many. an Arizona corporation. was
given Sheriff Malley to n The
attachment was to the value
of $4,000 tons of ore alleged to have
beer taken from the West End-Mac-
Namara ledge in the Eureka and
Curtis claims. The value of the ore
is estimated at $500, 900, and, with
exemplary damages allowed under
the statute would involve a possible
Judgment for 1900. 900. The at
tachment was accompanied by a case
bond of $4,000 furnished by the Jim
Butler.
This sets at rest all optimistic re-
ports of a pending settlement be
tween the companies and indicates a
further prolongation of the litigation.
The next move will be for the de-
PENDANT company TO apply TO have the
attachment dissolved. This will
force the speedy hearing OF the case
on its merits and in the meantime the
district court will be asked to modi-
fy the attachment so as not TO inter
fere with the operations of the prop
cry.
No reason for the attachment was
assigned by j. II. Evans. who is asso-
ciated with Hugh II. Brown as local
attorney for the plaintiff corporation
and who is the only one of the attor.
eys connected with the case who is
in Tonopah.
On the other hand Horatio Alling.
of the West End stan. arrived from
San Francisco recently and when
apprised of the suit. instantly took
steps to ascertain the cause for the
sudden development.
Ii is stated the authority for the
attachment was an order from Curtis
Lindley and clydes Heller in San
Francisco following the visit of the
senior counsel of the Butler side TO
Tonopah on October 3rd.-Tonopah

The accident happened about 20
miles from Challis, Idaho, and the
man was compelled to ride all the
way to Butte, Montana, before he
obtained surgical assistance. He was
in a horrible condition, and when
Sheriff Harris went up to bring him

the president and congress to make
them a land grant. They called at
~tention to the fact that the Washoes
are the only western tribe which al
ways kept the peace with the whites
and that, as a result they were the
only tribe that was never propitiated
with a reservation.
For two years the Washoe squaws
worked during the. sunshine on the
marvellous basket huge enough to
hold all the White House washing
and with the plea of the petition
woven into its decorations. When 1t
was completed they sent it, with the
petition, to President Wilson.
After a year they think they
should have heard from their appeal.
At any rate, they think, some ac-
acknowledgement of their basket
should have been made them. They
have tried, however. to get rae OF
its delivery but no trace can be found
of 1t either through the express COM
panies or attaches of the White
House.

Pete at Indian Agent Asbury's office.

whether or not the plans for a cele-
bration in Reno of Nevada's semi
centennial October 31st, as proposed
by the Nevada Historical society. will

Wier of the Historical society. who
planed the celebration. has not been

aspect a matter for serious consider

enthusiastic support of the entire

proper tribute to the pride We feel in
the fifty years of our state history.

DR.. ELIOT ADVOCATES
LIBRARY FOR CHINESE
President Emeritus of Harvard's Plan
to Be Laid Before Associa-
ton Meeting May Is.

DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
itus OF Harvard. in his recent report
to the Carnegie Endowment for inter
national Peace, recommended that an
American free public library be estab-
lished at Pekin, China. Formal announce

When DIR. Eliot was in Shanghai a
memorial for the endowment of a free
public library In Pekin was prepared and
handed to him for submission to the
Carnegie Endowment. the memorial be-
ing signed by about fifty prominent
Chinese. Both the Chinese signers and
DIR. Eliot believe that the collection
should contain reference. books on agri-
culture. mining, the fundamental trades.
economics. geography. commerce. santa
ton. public works. government. public
administration. international law and the
judicial settlement of disputes between
nations.
DR.. Eliot thinks $4,000. gold. would
build a library adequate to present needs,
and that the Chinese government would
give the site of the proposed building.
Such a library, DIR. Eliot feels. would
have to be conducted for a generation
by American librarians, to be appointed
and paid by the Carnegie endowment.
II is suggested that the proposed library
might well serve as a model for other
Chinese provinces or cities. There Is
room in China for a dozen such insti-
tutions. according to DIR. Eliot

Sans Fighting Vessels Garry
Passengers and Freight.
WANTS REPORT FROM DANIELS

Senator John w. Weeks yesterday SUBJ
mitted a resolution in the Senate calling
on the Secretary Of the Navy for a re-
port on the cost and general feasibility
Of a plan of converting certain swift
cruisers into commercial carriers without
impairing their naval value or efficiency.
The plan contemplates having the cruis-
ers Birmingham. Chester. Salem. Column
bia and Minneapolis made available for
carrying Of mail. passengers and freight
between New York. New Orleans and
Valparaiso and intermediate points SEN
ator Weeks said:
.'At the present time South American
mails are sent at long and sometimes
irregular Intervals and all American
mails south of the Equator are carried
in vessels sailing under a foreign nag.
These vessels are not built for fight
ing purposes but. In times Of war. fur
nish Information which their great speed
will enable them to get. In time OF
peace they are not useful ships because
they have not the guns which would
make them available for training pur-
poses.
1T takes, at the present time, seven
days to carry the mail to the Isthmus
and from twenty-five and twenty-four
days to deliver II at Valparaiso, the
shortest time being at least twenty-five
DAYS and a proportional time to Guaya-
quill, Ecuador. and Callao. Peru, Is re-
quired. By using these vessels and run
ming them at a fifteen-knot speed. mail
could be delivered in Valparaiso. Buenos
Ayres and Montevideo. from seven to
nine days quicker than can be done either
by the East or West Coast routes
1T Is believed these vessels could. with.
out any considerable expense, be ar
ranged TO carry a considerable number OF
first class passengers and the amount Of
freight which they could carry would
probably be sufficient to pay the expenses
OF the line from the beginning. If. later
on. private capital undertakes the build.
ing and running Of a line OF steamer,
over this route i should be inclined &c
