DISCONTINUED WORK
AT HEATH CANYON

Guy Gallagher and William Miles.

Gains at Heath canyon under lease
and bond for the last six months. re-
turned to Ely last Thursday, having
decided TO suspend operations owing
to their inability to secure an ex-
tension on a bond from W. r. Kemp.
During their absence In Nye coun-
~ they shipped twenty-three tons Of
sorted ore to Ely. which they antic-
pate will average about 500 a
ton. Eleven tons of ore were run
through the Irwin mill which result
ed In a saving of s454 from the
plates. They also have on hand about
$500 tons OF concentrates, which will
be shipped to samplers in Salt Lake.
"Our venture was not what you

INSPECTS OIL
FLOTATION PROSESS.

d. c. Jockling, president of the
Utah Copper company, which controls
the destinies of the Nevada Consoli-
dated, arrived Sunday morning from
Salt Lake In his special car. Ne
vada Northern train having been sena
out to Cobre to meet him. He was
accompanied on the trip by F. G..
Janney inventor of the Janney CLASH
fiers.
The members of the party inspect
ed the oil fotation process which is
being tried in an experimental plant
at McGill and seemed satisfied with
the results that were being accomp-
Iished. One section of the concentra-
tor is being operated with oil and
plans are now under way for equip
ping another In a similar way.
The management has not given
out any information as to the results
accomplished. but they are believed
to be better than were at first antici-
pated The oil dotation method of
concentrating not only saves a great
percentage of the ore values but re-
duees operating expenses materially.

Bowen Is Slated
For New Berth
1T Is GENERAL BELIEF THAT
FORMER SECRETARY FOR l.. q.
CANNON WILL BE APPOINTED
COURT REPORTER.

The newly elected officers of White
Pine county have discovered that
they have numerous recently acquir-
ed friends. Applicants seekin dep
utyships have been on the job early
and late since election day waylay-
ing the newly elected county officials
and trying to sandbag them with
promises of appointment.
1t is quite likely that Thomas
Bath, treasurer, A. s. Leahigh, re-
corder and auditor. F. ID. Oldfield,
clerk and C. s. Grain. sheriff. will
not make any changes in the present
working forces In their respective
Offices. as all the deputies have given
eminent satisfaction.
Assessor-elect F. NJ. Clark has
been deluged with appointments, and
is receiving some advice as to the ap-
plicants. He has declined, however,
to announce the name of his deputy
or make any promises. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Clark has already enough
applications from those who desire to
: receive a political berth to supply
all the Offices in the building with
competent help.
Predictions are freely offered that
Charles NJ. Bowen, who was private
secretary for General Manager L. G.
Cannon of the Nevada Northern, will
be appointed district court reporter.
The portfolio carries with it month
iy salary of $175. Mr.. Bowen is an
intimate friend of C. J. McFadden
who will succeed Judge B. w. Cole
man as district judge at the begin
ming of the new year, and took an
active interest in the judgship fight
both at the primary and general
elections.
The position of probation officer
which has been held by David Reedy
for the last two years, is another
berth In which the power of appoint
ments rests with the district Judge
1t is understood that considerable ef-
fort is being made to secure the re-
tention of the present incumbent
NJ. Cohen, who has been a member oi
the board of county commissioners
for the last two years, is also said tc
be an applicant for the position o.
looking after recreant youngsters.

SCENE OF GA|ETY
At CHARITY BALL
PLEASURE SEEKERS FROM ALL
PARTS OF DISTRICT WEND
THEIR WAY TO AUDITORIUM
FOR BIG MASQUERADE.

This is the Life was the joie de
vivre emotion aroused at the
Charity Mask ball given Thanksgiv-
ing night at the East Ely auditorium.
As usual the ladies who had cahrge
of the delightful affair. collectively,
and individually. kept the promises.
The gilt edged guarantee that the So
cial event would be worth while was
more than realized. 1t was the larg-
est gathering that has attended any
social function In the Ely district for
the last four years, and the spirit of
pessimism, supposed to be a common
commodity these days. was comsum-
ed by the fire of optimism.
The scene of gaiety and beauty
that was afforded at the dance made
1t the most pleasurable event given
here in years. To see several hum
dred persons In mask is an impressive
sight. and when there Is not ripple
to mar the pleasure and not nav
to blur the beauty OF the rythmic pic
I ture then no one can say that per-
fection was not attained in every
respect
The members of the arrangement
committee took the affair somewhat
seriously until within a few mo-
ments they realized that wall flower
outlook had been averted and that
the programs were eongested with
the names of desirable partners even
up to the last extra. Gordon's or
chestra was engaged for the delight
full occasion, and the sweet strains of
music seemed to hold the merry
makers under a peculiar spell.
1t was indeed an equisite sight to
see such an array of people in cos
tunes that typified every conceivable
sort of character as they went
through the vivacious rags or the old
fashioned wales. One might never
tire watching the movement OF the
large gathering, all being inspired by
the one idea, the one thought that
dominated, the idea of pleasure. The
people of the district did not forget
the charitable purpose that prompt
ed the affair and responded to the
call for volunteers in a manner that
made the real success of the present
season.
Oscar Upwall. portraying typical
hobo or knight of the road. was

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

It is quite significant, the number of
persons who get well of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cot
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about it,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present In
Postum, which is made Of clean. hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago I was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
q lady in Washington, that at times
I felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
1.-THE doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something / had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
II remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation Of the heart.
So stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. I have had no further
trouble since.
"A neighbor OF ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
tons.
He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee Is better than 1t
used to be. SO she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"

on the journey from Moscow to the
Crimea, we saw dead pig enveloped

little wheat and oats are grown, and
occasionally one sees a field of rye
already bursting into ear. while far
