stantine Cayara, administrator of the

ing the death of the deceased.

fendant on June 8, 1913, when he
received instructions to shovel out a
large quantity of ore that had been
blasted down in a stope.
Plaintiff claims that it was not a
reasonably safe place to work, as the
pillar which supported the upper
portion of the working had been car
ried away when the shots were set
off, While deceased was engaged in
the task that had been assigned him.
the complaint alleges the upper por-
tion of the stope gave away. causing
the ore to come down on him.
According to the complaint, the
deceased was inexperienced in min
ing. had but title knowledge of the
English language. and inadequately
appreciated the danger that was be-
setting him.

county. As no reply was received, he

SILVER STRIKE
NEAR P|ERM0NT
DISCOVERY OF HIGH GRADE ORE
IN SPRING VALLEY ATTRACTS
LARGE CROWD OF FORTUNE
SEEKERS TO RICH FIND.

Spring Valley may become Sec
ond Tonopah as silver producing
territory, and the report of recent
strike here created wave of excite
ment that reached its crest in Os-
ceola, and overf1owed into Ely. Ely
was late getting wise, because of
telephone line being out of order
between this camp and the Cleveland
ranch, and by the time the Ely citi-
zens had hot-autoed 1t over the
range every man from Osceola had
arrived at the new bonanza and been
busy on the location stunt. However,
lit is said there is plenty of available
room, until the crowd of prospectors
outnumbers the prospects.
The strike was made about fort
night ago by Andy Buchanan, and
assays sent to Osceola ranged from
900 to $4,000 per ton. A num-
Der of samples have been brought to
Ely. and all sorts of predictions have
been made as to the nature and per-
manency of the strike, which Is re-
ported on contact of considerable
but indefinite width and from 25 to
80 miles in length.
News of what had happened over
In Spring Valley reached Ely Mon
day and several prominent citizens
active in the mining game succeed
ed in getting to the location with but
little delay and securing some
claims.
Here's hoping that the highest
hopes of all will be realized and
that unnumbered tons of $500 silver
and gold ore will result in riches
and prosperity to those venturing.

NEW FIRE FIGHTING
EQUIPMENT ARRIVES

The Ely Volunteer Fire department
has the past week received 500 feet
of new hose, two new shut-off noz-
zles of latest design, and -siamese
coupling, all of which will be of ma
terial assistance to the firemen in the
time of emergency. The Ely fire de-
partment has shown what 1t can do
in the way of property protection, in
several critical situations, and has
wor a reputation for efficiency that
is matter Of public pride. II is :,
pleasure to chronicle the arrival o.
equipment that will furthere assist
the firemcn in thair loyal work.
The nozzles are of type whereby
the stream is under direct control OF
the men handling the nozzle, and
admit of the water being turned on o.
off at will or the stream changed
from solid column of water to
spray If desired. The so-callcd
siamese is handy piece of apparatus
as by its use two effectual stream
can be furnished from one lead OF
hose attached TO the hydrant.
The hose is something of an inno-
vation, and rather took the boys by
surprise. 1t Is OF an unusually light
weight, designed to be easily handled
as compared with the ordinary heavy
FIRE hose. that is cumbersome even
when not in use. The new hose is
so light that the firemen were almost
inclined to believe 1t was Joke, or
some near hose that had arrived.
However, a hydrant test of a length.
Friday, proved that the new hose Il
all that it is claimed to be, and as
durable as a well-known make of
other kind of hose called hole-proof.
The test was thorough one. under
every possible condition that firu
hose is liable to be subject to. but
the apparently fiimsy construction OF
linen withstood every shock put
upon it.. Fire Chief Matthias Is de-
cidedly pleased with the purchase.
as il is believed the hose will facill-
tate matters materially in the crit
ical hose-laying period of fire.
when every second counts.

SERIOUS CHARGE
IS DISMISSED
THOMAS CURRY HELD FOR AS
sAuLT WITH INTENT TO KILL
Is RELEASED BECAUSE WIT
NESS PROVES OBDURATE.

In the shortest case in the history
of the local criminal courts the
charge of assault with intent to kill
Neill McGovern. which had been pre-
ferred against Thomas Curry, was
dismissed last Friday afternoon on
motion of District Attorney Billings
on account of the unwillingness OF
the complaining witness to give
testimony against his assailant.
McGovern persisted In evading an
swers to questions that were asked of
him by the prosecuting attorney. He
proved to be an unwilling witness.
Attorney Haight representing the de-
dendant accused Billings of cross
examining his own witness, and the
states attorney did not attempt to
refnte the charge.
Il have been taken by surprise
said Mr.. Billings. "McGovern told
one story while he was in the hospital
in the presence of Deputy Sheriff

his narrative of the occurrence is en-
tirely different" >
DO you think You are going to
discriminate me?' was McGovern' S
rejoinder after the district attorney
had reminded him that his two
versions of the cutting affray were
entirely dissimilar.
"All | want you TO do is to tell
what happened the night the trouble
occurred" said Billings.
''I'm no phonograph' was Nc
Governs brief reply.
After declaring to the court that
McGoyern was appearing In new
attitude. and that the story he told
on the witness stand was in direct
contradiction TO the evidence that he
furnished prior to the filing of the
information against Curry. Billings
asked that the case be dismissed.
Judge Coleman granted the request.
and Curry was released from custody.

In
Fighting Mood
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CALLS
LOUIS HAMILTON A LIAR BE-
CAUSE LATTER SAID HE WAS
SHOWING FAyORITIsM.

The fighting epithet was hurled in
the district court last Friday by Dis
trict Attorney Billings, when he des-
ignated Louis II. Hamilton as liar,
because he had insinuated through
the Intermountain Worker that
White Pines legal advisor was dis
playing marked favoritism for the
defense in the case of the state of
Nevada against Harry Gianasalis, ac-
cused of assaulting Frank Vlassis on
the trestle at McGill.
In order to show that he was not
interested in the outcome of the
criminal action, Billings announced
his Willingness to allow the prosecu-
ton of the action to be handled by
o person who would be impartial He
suggested that A. Grant Miller of
Reno be entered as special prose-
cutor.
There are certain circumstances,
IL your Honor please. connected with
this case concerning which | desire to
make a statement at this time with
reference to the appearance OF GER
tain counsel in IL for the prosedl-
tion,' said District Attorney Billings.
When this case first came up, or
shortly after 1t came up. from some
sources there was some dissatisfac-
ton with my handling the case for
the state--for the prosecution--and
consented in the preliminary to
have Mr.. Boreman conduct the case
as a private prosecutor. Since that
time an item has appeared in paper
known as the Intermountain Worker.
under the caption Of Louis ii. Ham,
ilton, which stated, or insinuated In
no uncertain terms, that ! was favor
able TO the defense.
Il wish to take this public occa-
sion to state that the article to which
refer is an unqualified lie, and !
want to take this public occasion to
further state that the author of that
article is liar. However. to show
that | am absolutely fair in the prem
ises / am willing to turn over the
prosecution in this case to an outside
party, and | therefore request the
court that as Special Prosecutor in
this case the name of GrNnt Miller be
entered"
Mr.. Hamilton was somewhat
peeved. He denies the accusation
and maintains he Is not liar.
When the smoke of battle had
cleared away. William Mcknight, at
torney for the defense, requested
that the case be continued until next
July, as necessary witness for
Gianasalis was in Greece at the pres
ent time, and could not return to the
United States until the time speci-
fed by counsel for the accused. The
motion for continuance was
granted by Judge Coleman. after
lengthy arguments had been ad-
vanced by opposing counsel.
