New Currency
Reaches Ely
FIVE DOLLAR BIIlh FROM FED
ERAL RESERVE BANK IN PHIL
ADELPHIA MAKES ITS AP-
PEARANCE AT ELY NATIONAL

The Ely National Bank enjoys the
unique distinction of handling the
first federal reserve note in the cast
ern part of the state. A five dollar
bill was received at the local bank
ing institution in the course of regu-
lar business and was issued from
Philadelphia in district number three.
The note is of the same dimension

On the left end of the reverse side
is depicted the scene on board the
Santa Maria as Columbus first sight
ed land. 1t will be recalled that a
few days before land was noticed
his men mutined and threatened to
kill him or throw him overheard un-
less he returned to Spain. He COM
romised with them by agreeing to re-
turn If land was not sighted within
three days. In the scene the heroic
form of Columbus is seen standing
as he gazes in his hour of triumph
on the realization of his long cher
ished dream. while kneeling and
crouching about, his sailors beg for
giveness.
To the right on the reverse side
is depicted the landing Of the Pilgrim
fathers from the small boats on the
Mayflower. and the ship itself can
be seen In the distance, anchored off
Plymouth rock. At the top are the
words. Federal Reserve Note and
the bottom This note is receivable at
all national or member banks for all
taxes customs and other public dues;
1t is redeemable in gold on demand

Stamp Tax Is a
Real Bugaboo
AWFUL COMPLICATIONS NIGHT
RESULT III A PERSON SHOULD
NOT COMPLY WITH PROvIS-
IONS OF REVENUE ACT.

The new war tax works several
ways II affects the high cost of liv-
ing as well as the high cost of dying.
Both are involved as it Is necessary
to affix stamps on all legal docu-
ments. and these will include mar
riage certificates. birth certificates
and death certificates.
County Clerk Oldfeld enjoys the
unique distinction of being the first
Official at the court house to use one
OF the government stamps. 1t costs
him ten cents to afiix stamp to a
marriage license for a couple in
Snake Valley. He Is possessed of
the belief that persons being born.
getting married or dying should pay
the special stamps for their certifi
Gates as he refuses to perform in
that capacity any longer.
Bridegrooms. who wish to avoid
the heavy hands of special federal
officer should spend an extra ten
cents to make the marriage certifi-
cate absolutely legal. II might cause
them some inconvenience If. ON the
honeymoon, the federal agents
should ruthlessly tear young
couple apart and place them In
separate cells on the charge of try
ing to evade the stamp tax.
1t would be an utter absurdity for
person to die without paying the
death certificate tax 1t is compare
lively easy to evade the laws of a
state or county and get away with It,
No one ever had any luck after he
got into the clutches of some OF
Uncle Sans agents. In order to rest
peacefully in the other world, It is.
necessary that the certificate stamp
tax be paid. The man who dies with
out complying with these require
ments is laying himself open to fu-
ture embarrassment
Even after the painful period OF
flowers has been completed and the
sad funeral music has been rem
dered to make certain that the vic
tim is really dead. and the journey
through the pearly gates is complet-
ed, a mans troubles are not ended
even at this stage of the proceedings
If he hasn't paid the tax, St. Peter
will be entering into negotiations
with some government hireling fol
return to this neck of the woods, and
he will be compelled to pay the tax
In case of child that arrived dur
ing the week. the parents might have
grave doubts as to whether they mus
pay the tax and as a result no stami
is placed on the baby's birth certifi-
cate. The mills of the federal courts
grind slowly and In case the law were
tested. the baby would probably have
attained maturity and would have
children of his or her own.
/ 1t would be extremely disagree
able under these circumstances to b.
hailed into court for refusing to com
ply with the provisions of the stamI
tax because you were unfortunate to
have been ushered into this world OF
trouble and disorder during the year
1914. 1t is always better to do what
your Uncle Samuel advises you.

WHITE SLAVE AGENT
TO RESIDE IN ELY

Ely has been recognized by the
federal authorities as a gathering
grounds for white slavers. The i'm
mediate need of government agents
to check the traffic, which Is now
strongest in the west, will probably
result In the appointment of local
agent in this locality. BY having per-
sons familiar with what information
is necessary to prosecute and convict
violators of the Mann act. 1t will be
possible for the government depart
ment of investigation in Salt Lake to
gather information on these cases
much more efficiently
The plan of the department Is to
make Leon Bone head of a string of
special agents in Nevada, Utah and
Idaho All the men that will be
sprinkled through these states will
work on salary with a per diem for
special services. These men will also
be asked to get all possible informa-
tion on other subjects handled by

ID. A. Plumley, who has made
fequent trips to the Ely district in
connection with his duties as immi-
grafton inspector. will cooperate
with the investigation department, as
many of the white slavers in this
vicinity have been found to be allies.
Even though actual white slavery Is
not proven, 1t is possible usually to
connect such suspects with immoral

OIL FLOTAT|ON
WILL PROVE TO
BE REVELATION
INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRO-
CESS At McGILL WILL RESULT
IN HIGHER EXTRACTION OF
ORE VALUES AND LOWER COST

The new oil notation process
that is being installed at the Steptoe
plant at McGill and other Jackling
porphyry mills threatens to revolu-
tionize the extraction of the low
grade ores. The problems that have
been worked out by the staff of
metallurgists demonstrates that II is
a revelation In comparison with the
most modern appliances in the mill
Ing world. and Is a wonderful i'm
provement over the older methods.
The minutest details have already
been worked out
A higher extraction Is obtained
through the use of oil. and the cost
of reduction Will also be materially
lessened. The mills of the Nevada
Consolidated have been almost ex-
c1usively equipped with vanner ta-
bles. and Il Is quite likely that II
will result In the elimination OF Van
them. Although all the sconcentra
tors have worked In a satisfactory
manner. and returned handsome
profits. even a higher efficiency is
promised through the new process.
The release of oil hotation was
accomplished by the Butte and Su-
perior company. through decision of
the federal court In San Francisco
that the use of oil. acid and agita-
tion was not patentabie. II was held
that no company can take from 9TH
ers the right to use oil economically.
The idea did not come into general
use because the Minerals Separations
company exacted such heavy roy
alties that companies could not
meet the demands. The alleged in
fringement of patent was disregard
ed In the court decision.
A definite solution of the new
method of treating copper was avail
able. when an experimental plant was
erected by the Butte and Superior
company. II was applied successfully
to the zinc product from that proper
ty, and the Guggenheim interests de-
cided to take IL up for the porphy-
ries. II Is claimed that even greater
success has been achieved with cop
per ore. and that limited amount OF
oil is used Less water Is consumed.
making the cost of oil a small item
in some sections where there Is a
scarcity OF water.
When the best and most economi-
cal way of separating minerals dis
covered In modern times was declar-
ed not patentable. the Nevada Con-
solidated decided TO erect hundred
ton experimental plant for the de-
monstration of the oil fotation
process. A large part of the equip
ment required at McGill is being
turned out in the company shops.
The immense mills. at Garfield that
are controlled by the Jackling in
terests will be the first to COM
rlete the process. The cost to Ne
vada Consolidated will be a small
item in comparison to new equip
ment that is installed under ordinary
conditions

was if1so contended by Marriott that

casions and by his general conduct
threatened to prevent him from do
ing the work required by law to pro-
tect his title to the group.
In his application Marriott assert
ed that deal was pending with II.
j. Sisty of Denver for the sale of the
properties involved In the contro-
versy, and stated that the Colorado
mine operator was willing to enter
into an agreeemnt Tor the purchase
OF the gold bearing tract. Marriott
also alleged that negotiations would
terminate unless the prospective
purchaser had an opportunity to ex-
anime the properties.
The request for an injunction
stated that Goody was insolvent and
that judgment obtained against
him in the district court would be
worthless II was also eontended by
Marriott that II Goody was not re-
strained in the courts title to the

the beginning of the new year.

PORTLAND GETS
 THE CONTRACT

The insane of Alaska are to be Harmed out another five years to a .prvate sanitarium for profit at s275O per. head. Protests were sent in from Alaska against the present plan of farming out victims of mental diseases.

The following is from the Oregonian News Bureau at Washington, under date of March goth:
 The interior department today awarded to Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, of Portland, the contract for car ing for the Alaska insane for the next five years, the contract repre- senting in the neighborhood of $4OO 900.

 There was a spirited contest ov- CT this contract as Mrs. Coe was a rival bidder at the same figure nam ed by Dr. Coe. Dr. w. T.
