PROMINENT MINING MAN
GUEST IN DISTRICT

Mark l.. Requa, who was largely
instrumental in opening up the large
deposits of low grade copper In the
Ruth mine, arrived last Friday from
his home in Oakland, and Is spend
ing a few days in the Ely district as
the guest of General Manager G. b.
Lakenan.
Besides being identified with the
building of the Nevada Northern Mr..
Requa succeeded in convincing out
side capitalists that the Ely district
would eventually attain world wide
prominence as a producer of the red
metal. Through his efforts a on
soiidation was effected between the
White Pine Copper company, owning
the Ruth group. and the New York
and Nevada Copper company. with
possessions on the present site of the
steam shovel pit, and the wisdom of
the movement is justified through the
dividend paying proclivities of the
Nevada Consolidated.
In company with r. II. Charming,
Jr.. a prominent mining engineer of
Salt Lake. Mr.. Requa, intends to
leave by auto to inspect a group of
claims on Mount Irish. near Hike in
Lincoln county. Mr.. Claiming, is a
brother of j. Parke Claiming. a
noted engineer. whose report as to
the enormous tonnage of low grade
p%orphyry ores in the Ruth mine, in

LAST SUNDAYS BASE
BALL sCR|MMAGE

The world is so full of things that
il Is not unusual to meet up with
an umpire. But Ely ran into one UNI
expectedly last Sunday on its native
heath, and was DETECTED with quite
a loss, the opportunity of participat.
ing in the Fourth of July game. the
score being ii TO IL for Mr.. Duyal,
a disciple of the late Marquis of
Queensbury, who was the third mar
in the ring, and officially in favor of
the mill men from MeGill.
Considerable feeling developed be-
tween the Ely fans and the umpire.
Duval first acquired the ire of the
fans in inning three. Willard Scott,
the well known minstrel, tried 20
steal third and Mr.. Scott was Of the
opinion that the steal was a success.
Duyal said he was safe, but every
body else thought that Duval was
wrong. A wild furry of yells and
accents got all mixed up over the
idHh uecisioH. DeutI tfleu 10 stedl
home in this frame. The ball got to
the plate about the same time he did
and Umpire Duval called him out.
Grand stand opinion was that his
royal jumps was wrong.
The game was featured by an err
ror-making contest. Ely played the
sort of ball, which NEAR that every
grain of gray matter was surrounded
by a p~ennyweight of ivory. There Is
no excuse for this. Doughty, who
Schuyler. Nebraska, conspicuous. led
the Grand Consolidated cuffed gang.
In tackling six chances he came out
second best in four of them. Smoot

pulled three boots. IL is hard to
forget the fourteen lapses of memory
which indicates that our hopefuls
are having difficulty in remembering
whether they are playing baseball or
football. Whenever the ball went into
Ely's outfeld IT always had a chance
for its existence.
Ely tossed off the game by playing
as those members of the team were
gathered haphazard from all portions
of the human moth ball. They had
chance after chance to win. but they
did not take advantage of them as
they did of the chances to lose.
They were supposed to be support
ing Brownie" but If Brownie had to
depend on that kind of support for
his three squares he would have died
OF starvation. And of the things that
were done behind him in the box.
let us speak in a whisper. The box
score hardly tells the tale.
The afternoon was a paradise Tor
the statistician. All sorts of abnor-
malities were present. especially In
the large number of hits. pitchers,
broken hearts. Ely players. wasted
opportunities and runs that occurred
during the course of action. The
Ely Juniors with an eighteen run raj
ly in the ninth wouldn't have an OPP
portunity to get into the paper.
~Twenty-six runs were scored by both
teams during eighteen innings, which
breaks the inner-grammar record for
the number of runs given away for
one admission. The pill pummelling
of ledger indicates thirty-five hits.
The true story of blood contest is
net story of nine innings but story
of lost finish.
In the last of the ninth Ely had a
chance TO put over a winning run,
hut Duval ran that chance down,
roped and tied 1t and turned IL over
TO McGill TO do with IL as they wish
ed. Doughty was an easy out. Wilkie
drew a free trip to first. Clotfelter
inhaled a drive off Barnes that was
tagged for a home run. Ely felt as
happy as a desert canary after he
had eaten three strands of barbed
wire. and the local enthusiasts
thought it possible that the game
might be saved If anything that IL
given away can be saved.

LABOR TROUBLE IN BUTTE.

scene of the disturbance which re-
suited from ~dissension among the
miners over union matters. These
troubles eliminated in a riot, Tues
day night, during which one man was
killed. one fatally injured and a
third slightly wounded. incidentally
the miners union hall was blown up
with dynamite and Charles II. Meyer

said to have been precipitated by
sheriff's deputies opening fire upon
the crowd when insurgent miners
threatened to break up a meeting of
the old union called by President
Meyer of the Western Federation of
Miners in an effort to bring about a
reconciliation between the two war

WHITE PINE COUNTY
HAS GOOD ROADS.

Editor Lewis II. Beason of the
/ Phoebe Record made a visit to Ely,
recently. and the boys showed him Il
good time. He realized as never be-
fore how very much alive Ely citi-
Izens are and how very much Ely is
on the map. Travelling by automo-
bile he had a very good chance to
learn from personal experience the
condition of the highways in and
about Ely and leading to Ely. When
he returned to Phoebe he was in
ed to do SO in a very handsome
manner. His inference that "all
roads lead to Ely" is a good slogan
for business men to incorporate into
their advertising. Concerted action
in the interest of public good a ac-
Icomplish wonders, and as viewed by
the Phoebe editor. that line of pro-
cedure seems to be an Ely character
istic. Here is what he says.
IF the commissioners of Lincoln
county and the good roads boost
ers would take a run up into White
Pine county they would undoubtedly
learn a lesson on road building. Go
where you may in White Pine and
you will find good roads. No matter
which one o happen to be on
1t will lead you to Ely. The fact is.
all White Pine roads radiate from
Ely-like spokes from a wagon
wheel. You simply can't get out of
going to Ely, once you get into White
Pine county.
"They are a live lot there, Moth
ing Is done by halves. They believe
in advertising. As proof of this. all
you need to do is to pick up any of
the Ely newspapers and note how
responsive the business institutions
are. The old mossback idea of fill
ing up space on the sidewalk with a
bulletin board dosn't go with them.
They advertise in the home news
papers; the latter in turn are con-
tlnually boosting for good roads and
telling their readers what a live town
Ely is. But the loyalty of the bust
ness men to the newspapers tells the
story. II some Improvement is de-
sired. these boosters simply go and
get il. For instance. when the mat
ter of locating the Lincoln National
Highway anne up Elko and some Of
the towns in the northern part of
the state made a strong bid for il,
but these Ely fellows out generated
them. They got their heads togeth-
err and said:
I'VE have simply got to land this
thing Just think of the thousands
CT auto parties that are coming to
the coast in 1915? And just think
what 1t means to Ely to have these
transcontinental tourists passing to
and fro every day. When the maps
were issued. Ely was found to be
marked as n of the principal places
of interest along the highway.
This is just an example of how
they do things up in White Pine. In
building the good roads, they have
provided modern methods. Road
building is a business proposition
with the taxpayers of White Pine
and since they have dispensed with
the services of the old fellow with
the shovel, rake and crow-bait
team they are rapidly getting results.
The commissioners have purchased
two road grading outfits and the way
they make good roads up there is
! simply a caution"

The Broken Milk Pitcher

n FTY-FOUR years ago today there
died at CIapham, England, the
4 great sir William Napier, hero Of
many battlefields, author Of the. i'm
mortal history Of the Peninsula war,
and in many ways one Of the most dis

ever produced.
When at the height Of his well de-

literally bending under the great weight
Of the honors that rested upon him. sir
william, while going over his estate,
saw a little girl who was crying most
bitterly. Sir William, ordering his
coachman to stop, asked the little girl
what the nature Of her trouble was.
Between her sobs, the child informed
him that she had been sent by her
mother for a pitcher Of milk; that she
had fallen and broken the pitcher on
stone, and that she was crying to think
of the punishment that should be
meted out to her upon reaching home.
Sir William begged her to stop crying,
assured her that he would pay for the
broken pitcher; that he had no money
about him then, but would be at her
81
and that she must tell her mother, for
him, not to punish her before that time
The little one, taking a last sad look
at the remnants Of the broken pitcher,
passed on toward home, while sir VIII
liam ordered the c0achman to drive on
The next day sir William remem-
bered that he had a very important en-
Sagement with some Of the most illus

agreed to meet at his house at the very
hour he had promised the little girl he
would be at her mothers cottage.
Which engagement would he keep Tt
