Dense smoke and fierce flames fol-
lowed by loud defamation cnuscd
transformation at lola shortly before
six o'clock last Friday morning. For.
tunately the men had not yet reached
the engine house on the Gibson farm,
or they might have sustained serious
injury. just how the fire originated
is not known. At first II was con-
sidered spontaneous combustion, but
the theory Of men accustomed 10 en-
CINE work is that the exhaust pipe
was responsible. The heat Of the fire
caused the air tank 10 explode. Il il
understood that the plant was insur-
ed, so we trust that Mr.. Gibson will
not be heavy loser. Unfortunately
the crops planted by Messrs. Thomp-
son and Yeargin are badly in need of
water and may suffer considerably
before the plant can be replaced.

SANITARY ENGINEER
IS NEED OF STATE
Public Service, and D.. Lee of
State Health Depat ..nent

DR.. Carroll Fox. surgeon in the
United States Health service at Wash.
ington. accompanied by Dr.. S. L. Lee,
secretary of the Nevada state health
commission, paid ElEo an official visit
this morning.
DR.. Fox has been in the state about
ten days and will remain month
longer. He is here for the purpose
of looking into the needs of the state
and 10 make recommendations TO con.
serve the public health.
DR.. Fox when interviewed by the
representative of the Independent said
that Nevada was very much behind
the times in the matter of caring for
the public health. In making this
more specific he said that what Ne.
vada lacked was funds for carrying
on the work of the state health de-
partment and a sufficient number of
expert employees.
DR.. Fox pointed out that the chief
need Of the state was a sanitary en-.
gineer. This was his first recommen.
dation. He said that if Nevada had
had sanitary engineer all this trou.
BILE on account of Elko sewage could
have been avoided.
Dr.. Fox said that Elko in voting
bonds of thirty thousand dollars to
repair and extend the present system
had shown a most commendable spirit.
1t proved that Elko wanted to have
things done right
The second suggestion DR.. Fox had
TO make was that the state needed an
expert epidemeologist There is one
now connected with the University of
Nevada but DR.. Fox thought the worl,
belonged properly TO the state health
department. This expert is one who
looks into the cause of epidemics like
typhoid and diphtheria.
The two physicians on their tour of
the state will also look into the men.
ace from rabid coyotes. They left on
No 10 for points in the western part
of the state. DR.. Fox after his visit
to Nevada goes next to Mississippi.
The object of this trip through the
scta;e is to work up public sentiment
for an appropriation by the next legis.
lature to carry on the work of the
state health board. 1t is thought sew
en- thousand dollars will be needed to
provide the sanitary engineer and
other needed employees
The present state health board is
comprised of DR.. w. H. Hood of Reno,
DR.. Mark F. Boyd, bacterlologist of
the state university, and DR.. Lee, of
Carson, secretary.

ORE RUNS HIGH
| IN TR|MBATH LEASE

w. c. Davis last evening received
his assay certificates from four
samples taken from the Trimbath
lease on the San Juan lead In the
new camp of Divide
These were average samples of the
shipping ore. The ore of course is
sorted. 1t comes from depth OF 16
to is feet and from a width OF about
eight feet on the ledge.
The four samples ran remarkably
high. The values as shown by the as.
says are $3.50 in gold and 142 ounces
of silver: $3.50 in gold and 247 ounces
silver; $50 in gold and 549 ounces of
silver; 1880 in gold and ,46s ounces
in silver.
The whole ledge is milling ore. The
Trimbath lease is some distance from
the tunnel where the vein has been
opened up at depth of rs feet The
tunnel part of the claim has been
leased to Horn brothers.
1t was a year ago that Workman
and Davis discovered this property.
They worked along quietly until they
could more thoroughly prove up the
ground
OF course the extent of the ore
bodies is yet to be determined. But
as MI Davis conservatively puts it
for surface development the showing
is most remarkable.

CHAS. BECKER DIED
PROCESSING INNOCENCE

OSSINING, New York, July 30
With his iron will unfaltering, former
Lieutenant of Police Charles Becker
was electrocuted at five fifty-five this
morning. Pinned to his shirt, near
his heart he carried to his death the
picture OF his wife, who remained so
loyal to him to the very last. In his
hand he clutched, the crucifix. When
the current was turned on 1t cut off
his last prayer, as he uttered the
words, Jesus have mercy"
Before entering the death chamber
he told Father Curry: Il am not gull
ty by deed, conspiracy, or in any other
way of Herman Rosenthars death. /
am sacrificed for my friends"
Becker led the procession to the
death chamber. This was an unusual
proceedings as the procession is usu-
ally led by the guards. He showed no
sign of fear, and walked unassisted.
After seating himself in the chair he
assisted in tightening the straps, and
was seemingly the coolest man in the
death chamber.
1t was necessary to apply the cur
rent three times before the doctor
pronounced Becker dead. The strap
across his chest was by mistake plac.
ed over instead of under his left
arm. The current shifted the body
and the death cap slipped up. Ghast,
ly agony was pictured on his face, and
his teeth ,clenched visibly as he died
The body was taken to New York
this afternoon. His widow is prostrat.
ed with grief.
ALBANY, July 30.-When Governor
Whitman was advised that Becker
died protesting his innocence, he re-
Piled: There is not a shadow of a
doubt of Becker's guilt Never was
there more clearly proven case"
Governor Whitman was formerly
prosecuting attorney of New York
and he took an active interest. in the
prosecution of Rosenthalrs slayers
Becker was twice convicted of com
plicity in the crime for which he to
day paid the penalty.

UNIVERSITY OPENS
ON AUGUST BOTH

Not only state loyalty. but sound
reasons as well, demand the educa-
ton of Nevada boys and girls in the
University of Nevada, rather than in
outside institutions, however old or
famous the latter may be.
The University of Nevada opens
Monday, August 30th. The largest at
tendance ever in its history Is fore
cast by the number of present appli-
plicants.
The faculty has been enlarged and
strengthened and n number of i'm
provements and betterments will be
discovered in the general operation and
conduct of the institution. Not the
least important will be the new Dean
of Women who will be the leader and
have charge of the welfare of the girl
srudents-a position which has been
filled by the appointment of n wom-
an of rare training and personal en-
dowments for such important work.
The University of Nevada is second
to no other great educational institu-
ton in the ihoroughness of its train
ing, as witness the success in this
state and elsewhere of its alumni. In
addition to which it offers to Nevada
young men and young women two sig
nal advantages, namely, special equip
ment of its student graduates to meet
successfully the conditions of life in
Nevada, and intimate student ac-
quaintanceship with the hundreds Of
other Nevada University men and

ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR CARLSON MINE

The Gus Carlson property on the
Bruneau has been worked for more
than twenty-five years. It has long
been known as a low-grade PROPOSE
tion II has seemed too far away and
too inaccessible TO warrant the con-
struction of a mill.
At last it bids fair to take rank
among the producers. A. e. BEETLES
who is staying at the Mayer Is making
arrangements to put in an electric
plant to run air drills and stamps.
The electric plant will be located
on Ehe bank of the river mile and
haiti down from the mine. A ditch
will be taken out of the R-uneau. The
plant will furnish $50 hydro-electric
horse power and cost between $4,000
and $4,000.
1t must be nearly thirty years since
Gus Carlson discovered this property.
The group comprises eight claims and
there are three main ledges running
cast and west. These ledges are true
assures in quartzite and are from 200
to 300 feet apart.
The property is located on Cop
per mountain a mile and a half east
of the Bruneau and about seven miles
in a direct line from Jarbidge. The
veins have been deeply eroded by
Deer creek which cuts through them.
The Bruneau at that point has an
altitude about the same as Elko, g..
100 feet. The mine is $500 feet high.
er.
Carlson in the early days did an
and tunnels measure up more than g.
| Geo feet.
Carlson gave a lease and bond on
the property several times and finally
1t passed out of his possession. Five
years ago A. f. BEETLES bought the
property.
Cirl3on's exploration work was
| feetmostly by tunnels on the vein.
The tunnel on the upper ledge is in
| 1,60O feet. 1t showed a ledge from four
to sixteen feet in width. But the
values were low, from $2.40 to $500 a
ton IN gold and silver. The gold in
value is about two-thirds.
Since Mr. BEETLES took hold of the
property he has opened UP an ore
body on the lower vein that carries
values Of S12.77 to the ton. This is
sufficient to warrant the erection of
mill.
The depth Of the BEETLES workings
is 30 feet He now proposes to CROSS
cut from a point 1850 feet from the
mouth OF the upper Carlson tunnel
for distance of $50 feet This will
bring him 800 feet beneath his pres
ent workings on the lower vein. This
crosscut will be run to the SOUTH
Mr.. BEETLES has been working six
men. He has laid these of for the
present until he can get in his plant
II will take about two months TO ship
In the machinery and get ready to
build Che power house.
Copper mountain is about eight
miles down the Bruneau from Charles

from the mine to Charleaton.
