ELkO AND EIY
WILL PLAY BASKETBALL

For the past few years basket ball
has been considered one of the major
sports for all amateurs 1t has been
developed to such an extent that the
ent from the original game. The mat
ters of chance and luck enter to a eer-
tain degree in all sports This is still
true in the case of basket ball. De-
velopment of the game has eliminated
these Objectionable features The chan
ces to see game of basket ball be-
tween teams other than local are very
scarce in localities such as Ely. One
of these rare chances comes on Dec
16 and II when the basket ball team
from Elko high school comes to Ely
to meet the White Pine high school
team. If spirit of rivalry has anything
to do with determination to win, the
coming series of games will be well
worth seeing. Elko is coming over
with the determination to win If possi-
bic and thus wipe out old scores which
have resulted from such meets. On the
other hand the boys of the local high
school seem to think that they have
a precedent to uphold in beating Elko.
The game with the strong Lund team
last Friday night brought out many
strong as well as weak points in the
locals attack and defense. This weeks
work has been to plan and execute new
and stronger attacks and to strengthen
the defense.
On the same nights the strong girls
team from the high school will meet
the town team. These teams have been
practicing hard and good fast game Is
sure to result. 1t is regretted that the
girl team from Elko could not have
been brought along.
The games will be played at the Bijo
hall beginning at 7:45. General admis-
sion Csc; school children, 15c.

Tented with his left and a right cross
to the chin put the game little Ely
boy down for the final count.
Professor w. w. Langdon refereed
the go, and his popularity was evi,
denced by the ovation he received
when he entered the ring. Tom Cham
brs, the promoter of the fight, is en-
titled to great credit for bringing
two such men as Johnson and Dunn
together. Such exhibitions cannot
fail to please the public and the fol-
lowers of the sport showed their ap-
probation by turning out almost to
man.
The special event between Yam
kite Rue and Kid Sherman proved to
be an easy matter for the boy from
McGill Yankee Rue is one of the
cleverest men in the busintss, and at
his weight it requires a top notcher
to stand him off.

EDDIE JOHNSON KNOCKS OUT ]. DUNN IN NINTH
ROUND OF BEST FIGHT EVER STAGED IN ELY

Eddie Johnson, of Pueblo. Colo.
knocked out Johnnie Dunn, of Ely, at
Bio hall lasa night in the ninth
round of the best fight ever witnessed
here and perhaps one of the best
fights ever seen west of the Missis-
ippi river. Both boys are willing,
clever and dangerout fighters who
keep going every minute they are in
the ring, and those who were for
tunate enough to procure a seat in
the crowded house last night surely
got the worth of their money. john
son showed great class and a remark
able knowledge of the game from
every angle. The knockout was as
clean as whistle. Both men came
to the center of the ring when the
gong sounded for the ninth round
and after sparring for few seconds
Johnson dropped Dunn to the floor
with a vicious swing. Dunn was up
at the count of three and the two
men were again sparring. Johnson

1.-THE MARKET" /"
By 4. w. Hulse & Coz

Recently another member has been
producing mines in the Alta Cotton
woods districts. For months We have
been recommending the purchase of
these issues. stating as our reason that
we believed the goods were ther and
when sufficient time had elapsed to
permit of work being done to prove
up the ground the correctness of our
beliefs would assert themselves. First
II was Cardiff. one of the greatest sill
ver-lead mines ever opened up in the
state of Utah. which again called at
tention to this district which years be-
fore had ranked as the greatest silver
camp In the world. On the strength
CT Cardiff's big discovery development
properties. As time went on others
were added to this list until now there
is hardly a prospect within miles that
is not at work. About six months
later than Cardiff. Sout hHecla found
an orebody the limits of which are not
yet known and which bids fair to rival
that of the former. Now comes Sells. a
neighbor of South Hecla, with a strike
which we are reliably informd has i'm
mediately made mine on that prop
erty and that has sent the stock heller
skelter from the low thirties to almost
a dollar In he short space of two or
three weeks. That Is three big mines
made In a district that VISA practically
dormant little more than a year ago
and which 1t was generally believed
had seen its best days. That others
that Is being done in Lit
tie and Big Cottonwood seems almost
certain and. not undertaking the re-
markable showing made In the pre-
ceding twelve months. we predict that
more important mines will be brought
in In 1916 than have been made In
1915. From the spectators point of
view there is no group of stocks in
the country that offers the inducements
to be found here. Many people mex
reriepced in stock trading have rushed
into the market this year with the
erroneous idea that mines are made in
a week or a month and expecting in all
cases to make big profits in that or q
shorter length of time. They have
that 1t can't be done and while
a majority of them have seen their mis-
take and are holding their stocks and
giving the properties chance to make
good numbers have become tired.

<et and gradually forced quotations on
the different stocks down to levels

Far from being a detriment to these
stocks. except in the minds of timid
traders. the condition thus brough.
about has proven boon to the wiser
operators in the market who have
been and are right now loading up at
bargain-counter prices. More firmly
than ever that as a camp the
Alta -Cottonwoods districts are des-
tined to make good in big way. we
the purchase of the stocks
in companies there located and are
figures will. with few excep-
tions. yield handsome profits in the
year.

Quarantine to
Prevent Rabies
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TAKE
ACTION TO PROTECT PUBLIC
FROM DREAD DISEASE, BEING
SPREAD by INFECTED SHEEP.

The board of county commission
ers met on Friday and conferred with
number of the most prominent
ebeep and cattle men In this section
Of the country, and the matter of
establishing a quarantine to prevent
the spread of rabies which is known
10 exist In the bands of sheep coming
from the north some OF which are
now in this county, was discussed at
length.
Charles Stephens. Robert Tucker,
William w. McGill. George Lewis and
Chris Jensen we're among the inter-
ested parties who appeared before
the board Government Inspector
Peterson was also present at the re-
quest of the local men.
Chairman Weber. at he opening of
the conference, assured the stock
men that the county commissioners
we're not only ready and willing, but
anxious to do anything and every
thing within their power to assist
in stopping the spread of the dreaded
rabies.
Sheriff Grain read to the board
a telegram which he received from
Inspector Mason at Elko In reply to
a wire sent Mr.. Mason's Telegram
read as follows:
Sheep Commission unable to
quarantine sheep affected with rabies.
No cases In Elko district SO far. For
information apply DR.. Mack. Reno.
Sheep Commissioner Griswold will be
in Ely fourteenth"
'DR. ". ID. MASON"
The sheriff stated to the board that
II had been reported that a sheep had
shown signs of rabies at Cherry
Creek by butting its head against
post until 1t killed itself In a cor
raj.
Mr.. McGill informed the board that
some eighteen or twenty thousand
sheep were now at Copper Flat, hav-
Ing been driven in from Elko county.
He stated that from Information re-
ceived he felt there was no doubt but
there were numerous animals affect
ed with rabies In Elko county and
that II was known that coyotes were
coming right into the town. He point
ed out that as the sheep are driven
along they are followed by bands of
coyotes. When asked as to his opinion
as to how long after an animal was
bitten rabies usually appeared. Gov
eminent Inspector Peterson stated
that the time varied from nine days
to eighteen months. during which
time II might be impossible to detect
anything wrong. Charles X. Steph-
ems said that the danger was not con-
fined to sheep but to cattle. horses
and human beings as we'll. He told
of q case which had been brought to
his attention where q rabid cat enter
ed a cabin In Humboldt county and
sprang directly on a mans back. The
animal was 30 badly affected that It's
jaws we're locked. but II scratched the
man severely before he could get out
side the door. where he killed the
ferocious cat with an axe. Mr.. Steph-
ems pointed out that II the sheep now
being driven In from the north where
1t is known that animals have been
seriously affected with rabies. and
the loss from this cause has been
considerable. 1t is very probable that
some OF the sheep affected may die
and be eaten by dogs or coyotes. This
of course would spread the disease
through this county and the matter
would soon be as serious here as II

BIC anniversary sale
Ladies' Bazaar Will Celebrate Five
Years of Continuous Success
With Big Bargain Event

Five years ago Mr.. Morris Sehon.
dOrf started the Ladies Bazaar at the
present location on South Fourth street.
The beginning was very modest and the
premises occupied were small compared
with those occupied by the store o-day
Mr.. Schondorf started with the fixed
policy of giving extra values for the
money. His long experience in manu-.
featuring and his knowledge of the
markets put him in a position of secur-
ing special lots. and in many instances
extraordinary price concessions. These
advantages he has generously shared
with the public, and the result has been
SO much appreciated that the store has
been enlarged on several occasions to
meet the rapid growth of the business.
To-day it occupies commodious quar-.
ters and carries stock that is so large
and so complete that it affords the wild
est range for making satisfactory sclec-
tions.
The business some time ago reached
such proportions that Mr.. Irving Il.
Robinson, formerly connected with
large cloak and suit houses in Boston
and later with the Kaufman stores in
this city, was made manager. With
characteristic energy, Mr.. Robinson is
rendering valuable service and the vol
ume of trade continues to grow at q
most satisfactory rate.
To commemorate the fifth anniver-
sary, big sale will be held, beginning
tomorrow. To show the appreciation
of the liberal patronage extended to
the store during the past, there will be
eight days of extraordinary value
giving.

Members Bombarded
With File Paper in
Fun-making Session
Lasting Till Morning
ANTI-FUSION
BILL is PASSED
Lower Branch, However, Fails to Con-
cur in Senate Amendments Adding
$2,5OO,OOO to the Appropriations
and Measure Is Sent to Conference

The House of Representative did
not have a 'calendar last night, but
from 8 clock in the evening until
Las O'Clock this morning there was a
session - of jollity, fun and not lit
tie horseplay. Sandwiched between
the hurting of bits of file paper about
was the transaction of little business,
but roll calls were tiresome procedure
for House bent on pleasure and it
was with difficulty that anything seri-
Gus was done.
After session og song, in which the
Rev. Thomas w. Davis, chaplain of the
Senate, occupied the Speakers chair
and sang the solo parts, the McNichol
anti.fusion bill was called up and
passed by vote of 144 to so. This
bill prevents n candidate from with
drawing from the ticket after he is
nominated at the primaries.
There was a parade, in which Mr..
Shaaber, of Berks, Grand Army
man of the House, bore the United
States flag. He was escorted to the
Speaker s rostrum and gave Lincoln s
Gettysburg address. The House set
tied down to business and passed the
salary raiser of the House clerks by a
vote of lis to rs.
Appropriation Bill as Missile
The "Peerless Quartet" four young
cclored boys of Harrisburg, was given
place of honor on the newspaper
desks at the front of the hall and rem
dered several late selections feelingly.
Representative A. G. Stein, of Allie
gheny, took up collection for the
quartet. During the evening paper
hats made their appearance and mem
bers wore them until knocked off by
other boisterous members with paper
from the files.
There were several interesting
''ights' during the evening, when
various members were sought out as
targets for the paper missiles. Mr..
Cromer, of Allegheny, put up the
strongest defense, but he was forced
finally to capitulate when the general
appropriation bill, which had just been
filed, was thrown at him. This bill is
one of the largest of the session and
makes splendid ammunition.
S2,5OO,OOO Added to Bill
Many of the members disposed OF
the appropriation bill without examin
ing it, but the watchful ones discov
cred that the Senate had added
s2,500,000 to it and in the final bust
ness of the evening the House failed
to concur in the Senate amendments
making the appointment of confer
enee committee necessary.
At midnight the House recessed tc
allow the members to partake of buf
fet luncheon arranged by Thomas Fl
Garvin, chief clerk. 1t was served in
the basement of the south wing. II
was 1 clock when the House recon
vened and forty-fve-minute session OF
fun ended the jollification.
The galleries were filed with Har
risburg people who witnessed the clos
ing jollity Many of the members
had brought on their wives and fami
lies, who had places along the sides and
at the front of the hall.
