Probation officer Returns

David Reedy. Probation officer of
White Pine county. returned Thurs
day evening from a trip to Denver,
Colorado. where he appeared before
the committee of three appointed by
the Grand Lodge of Yeomen to con-
slider risks in Colorado. South Dakota,
Montana and Nevada. The high alti-
tude of the states mentioned was the
principal question under consid-
eration. 1t was pointed out to
the committee that the death rate
of women in the four states was no
greater than in the lower altitude,
and it is probable that no change will
be made. except perhaps in Colorado
and Montana, where the adjustment
of rates on miners may be considered
Mrs. Reedy, who accompanied Mr.
Reedy on the trip, will remain in Col
orado for the balance Of the month
visiting relatives and old friends.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING

At the regular meeting of the city
council in Ely Tuesay night, IL was
decided to put a new fire plug at the
corner of Second avenue and hurry
street. The need of better fire pro
lection on south hurry street was
clearly demonstrated when the Marsh
cottage vent up in flames a shori
while ago Fire Chief Matthias point
ed out the fact to the celncil that
additional hose should be purchased
for the better equipment of the FIRE
department AMI at the chiefs susges-
ton the council authorized the pur-
chase of six hundred feet.
Only two bids we're received for the
construction of the new sewer in
south hurry and as the council. was
of the opinion that more bids would
be forthcoming, no definite action was
taken. 1t Is probable, however, that
the contract will be let at the next
meeting of the council and the work
started Immediately thereafter.
Attorney Eddy, representing some
bond holders, called attention to the
fact that provision had not been made
ito care for bonds payable on Septem-
Der first Mayor Witcher stated that
this was true because 1t was the I'M
derstanding that a verbal agreement
red been reached between the holders
of the bonds and the former mayor
and city council whereby payment
would not be demanded until n year
was taken upon the matter.

Old Resident of White Pine Dies.

Word has been received in Ely of
the death of Mrs. B. F. Miller who
was n of the most highly respect
ed citizens of this county during the
early days. Mr.. and Mrs. Miller have
many friends here among the old time
citizens who have done SO much to
build up this section of the county.
Mr.. Miller will perhaps be best re-
membered as having been engaged in
the teaming business and many years
ago he moved the plant of the White
Pine News from Hamilton to Cherry
Creek. employing a mule team in the
work. All those whose good fortune
1t was to know this grand old couple
In years long gone by are grief
stricken by the announcement and the
sympathy of all is extended to our
old Timer in his sad hour.

ALBION

During the past ten days Albion has cut numerous stringers
Of high grade or and a very heavy flow Of water. These are
sure Indications, In the Atacottonwood districts, Of the close
proximity Of important orebodies. These discoveries were made
al a depth Of 1900 feet, and IL the import>nt ore discovery should
be made at this point and depth, il is quite likely that Albion
would Immediately place in sight a large tonnage from which it
could mine for years to come. This property sdjoins the South
Heca which, ten months back, was selling around ten cents a
share. Numerous assures and contacts traverse the Albion es
tate.
The company owns approximately $50 acres of patented
ground free and clear Of all indebtedness and is we'll financed for
an extensive development campaign. The property produced a
million five hundred thousand dollars to the water level in for
mer days, leaving rich and enormous orebodies at this point
Present workings will encounter these orebodies At a depth Of
1900 feet, drain the property and permit the company to mine on
a large scale.
We advise you to BUY this stock now BEFORE these strikes
are made at this depth. DO not wait until AFTER. You can buy
the stock now around 30 cents; within q short period you may
be unable to buy under 500.
Albion has all the earmarks Of making an important mine.

SOUTH HECLA

The South Hecla Mining Company In the AItaLitne Cotton
wood district has two important veins, one Of IS feet in width
and another at 40 feet. The 255oot orebody will easily run $780, 90
net a ton, after deducting the cost Of transportation and smelt-
ing. The 4ofoot vein will average $500 net. Considerable drift
ing and upraising has been done, and the orebodies continue to
show even larger than when first encountered. An enormous
tonnage has been put In sight within the past thirty days, and
with no indication whatsoever that the limits Of these orebodies
have been reached.
The entire market valuation Of all the outstanding stock at
present prices Is only $4so25o (present outstanding stock 25,

Use of Field Artillery at Crecy Marked
the End of the Mail-Clad
Fighting Man.

OF all the worlds great battles
Crecy possesses a unique interest. The
English used only three pieces of field
ordnance They were small cannon
made of trees. bored. and bound with
iron hoops, and the missiles were of
stone. scarcely larger than baseballs.
Doubtless this rude artillery made far
more noise than it effected damage
1t was the longbOw and the broad
sword that won the battle, but never
theless gunpowder was henceforth to
play an ever-increasing part in the
strife of nations.
Explosives wrought a vast change
in fighting methods on land. for many
of the old-time weapons were rendered
quite useless in face of death-dealng
