JUDGMENT REVERSED.

Word has been received by Attor-
ney J. M. Lockhard that the Supreme
court at Carson City has handed down
a decision in favor of the Ely Water
company and against White Pine
county in the case recently appealed
from the decision of Judge Coleman
This was an action brought by the
Water company for water used on
the court house lawn and grounds
surrounding the county buildings. 1t
was the contention of the county that
water for the grounds should be sup
r,ied by the Water company under its
franchise free of cost to the county,
the same as water for the court house
itself is furnished. Judge Coleman
held that no contract or agreement
having been entered into. the Water
company could not recover for the
water already furnished.
This decision. according to advice.
has been reversed by the upper court
and the Water company will now col
lect some four hundred dollars for
the water supplied. A cost bill has

SCHOOL DISTRICT
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
PROBABLY ACT FAVORABLY
ON REQUEST OF BONITA CITT-
zENs TWO LICENCES GRANTED

The regular meeting of the board of
county commissioners was held on
Tuesday Two retail liquor licenses
were granted F. C. Nunnelly. who
desires only to accommodate family
trade, applied for the regular retail
license and 1t was granted. Victor
Haller who will occupy the building
formerly occupied by s. ]. Storey at
Riepetown was also granted license
for this quarter which ends with the
month of September, when all licens-
es will have to be- renewed. The ap-
plication of Mr.. Haller was carefully
considered by the board, but upon the
assurance from reliable sources
that Mr. Haller would con-
duct an orderly place and make
good citizen, the members of the
board concluded to give him trial.
The deputy superintendent Of pub
lie instruction appeared before the
board and presented petition sign
ed by a number of residents asking
that new school district be estab-
lished in Bonita. This district will
have to be established on territory
now covered by two other districts
and the petition presented did not
meet the legal Requirements in such
cass. District Attorney Jurich was in
structed to prepare petition in prop
err form and send 1t to the interested
parties. 1t is porobable that the mat
ter will be favorably acted upon AT
the next meeting Of the boud
/ Mrs. o. H. Paulson submitted her
report as matron OF the county hos
pital for the month of August. This
report as usual showed the institution
to be in excellent shape and conduct
ed along business lines. The matron
called attention to the fact that the
hospital could not be propesly heated
during the winter months unless the
heating system was looked after be
fore the cold weather started in, and
was assured by the commissioners
that the matter was now under con
sideration.
The matter of constructing a side
walk for the benefit of those attend
ing the East Ely school was brought
to attention of the board by Colonel
L. G. Cannon and Arthur Smith. Opin-
ions seemed to be divided as to the
best method of constructing the side
walk. Messrs Casnon and Smith ia
vored two-inch plank walk about
five feet wide, while Commissioner
Mcdonald felt that II any walk were
built 1t would probably be better anc
cheaper to put in gravel The cost OF
a plank walk was estimated by Mr.
Smith at $581 and the commissioners
laid the matter over in order that an
examination might be made ON the
ground by members of the board.

Labor Day passed off very pleasant
ly in this district and the many at
fractions arranged by the committee
for the entertainment of the public
were all thoroughly enjoyed. The
crowd was not as large as has been
seen on similar occasions in the past,
but more orderly or better conduct
ed crowd could not possibly assemble
anywhere. 1t was a perfect day and
everybody seemed at peace with all
the world.
The A. F. of M. band was on hand
to start tthe ball rolling and rendered
excellent music during the day.
First on the jrogram was the ball
game which ended in a victory for
the team from Copper Flat by score
of to 0. The team from McGill was
seriously handicapped owing to the
fact that a number of the smelter
boys were engaged in the national
game at Elko.
Drilling
The double handed drilling contest
as usual attracted much attention.
Miles Mandrich and Martin Corrich
gave magnificent exhibition of skill
and endurance. carrying off the first
Prize of s175. after sending the drill
in the rock 37h inches. oe Genola
and W. J. Murphy captured second
money by making a depth of % GIG
inches. and were awarded SIS for
their fifteen minutes work The same
rock has been used In Ely for the past
six years and the record made by
Mandrich and Corrich beats all pre-
yious records In the same rock by ap
proximately 3 inches.
The single handed contest resultet
In victory for Miles Mandrich, max
ing two victories for that expert drill
er In the one day. He drilled Sss
inches in ten minutes. taking down
s35 aas the first prize. Second money
went to Pete Miller. who drilled s II
inches, while Joe Miller was third
with a record of six inches
The judges were H T Bennett and
James McDonough, while Lane Pearl
occupied the important position of Of
fetal timer.

states that in the development work
thus far done since he took hold IS
TO 100 tons of good commercial ore
have been taken out. He has pur.

by means of which ore will be hauled
to Currie, which is the nearest ship
ping point. The Victoria property is
looked upon as one of the most
promising OF copper properties and
under the management of such an
able man as Mr. Strehlke the general
opinion is that it will soon be found
in the front ranks Of the copper pro-
Gucers.
