COMMISSIONERS
GRANT WIDOWS EXEMPTION

The board of county commission
ers We're in session yesterday, prin-
eipally for the purpose of hearing
those who claimed a widows exemp-
ton on the tax role. Three affidayits
We're filed with the board on behalf of
Mrs. Steve Baker. Mrs. Henry Vance
ard Mrs. William Moyle and the reg
ular exemption of $1,000 was allowed
in each instance. The first INSTALL
ment of taxes becomes delinquent to-
morrow and the commissioners were
desirous of giving all who claimed
exemption opportunity to be heard
before their property was placed on
the delinquent list. Commissioner
Mcdonald outlined to the board the
result of his trip to Jake's Valley
where a new road will soon be re-
constructed in order that better grade
may be had and which it is hoped will
bring all ore shipments from Hamil-
ton this way, instead of going BY Eu-
reka, as heretofore. Commissioners
Mcdonald, with Road Supervisor
Jackson, staked out the proposed new
road and work will be started thereon
as soon as practicable. Much time
was devoted yesterday by the MEN,
bers of the bord in going over the
list OF property which has been bought
in by the county at tax sales from
time TO time. When no outside party
will bid on property offered at a tax
sale the county treasurer Is required
, by law TO purchase it for the county.
Ii Is found that much property so
purchased and appearing on the rec
ords as belonging to the county, has
been destroyed, or BY some means
passed out of existence, and this fact
causes the records to be not only EN-
numbered but misleadings. II is the
intention Of the commissioners in
cases where such as cabins and the
like appear on the records but have
, been destroyed. or do not now exist
10 have such items proprely stricken
of. The regular monthly meeting of
the board will be held tomorrow.

UPPER BUYS STEWART MILL
FOR PIEaMONT MINES

III. c. Tupper, who with other Cali
fornia capitalists recently secured
control of the promising property on
Piermont creek formerly owned by
the Millick brothers and George New
man, and who visited the mines dur
ing the week, has completed nego-
tiations whereby the Stewart mill
near Cherry Greek passes into the
hands of Mr.. Tupper and his asso-
ciates and will soon be turning out
the precious metal at the Piermont
mines. There is large quantity of
ore on the dump which is valuable,
but heretofore the cost of hauling to
the railroad has made it impossible
to handle it at profit. The Stewart
Mill Is modern in every particular
and is known to be one of the best
mills of its kind that can be made.
With Dick Millick in charge and a
mill with which to work the ore 1t
seems certain that this valuable prop
erty will yield handsome returns to
those who have been so fortunate as
to acquire control of 1t.

STAR MINE SUIT
FOR RECEIVER
STOCKHOLDERS BRING CHARGES
OF MISMANAGEMENT AND IN
COMPETENCE OF HIGH-SAL-
AIRED OFFICIALS.

Through their counsel, Chas. S.
Witwer. of Denver. and Anthony Jur-
,cb of Ely, certain stock holders In
,be Nevada Star Mining company,
whose property IL situated near Cher
ry Creek, have brought suit in which
a Receiver for the company is asked
for and charges of a sensational char
acter are made against those charged
with the management of the affairs
of the corporation. The parties bring
ing the action 1t is stated represent
$3.50 shares of the 5000 shares for
which the company is capitalized. The
complaint charges that the corpora
tIon was organized about May, 1913
and in that same month the corpo-
ration by printed statements signed
by its officers and sent through the
United States mails TO the parties who
now bring action, made glowing
statements as TO the value and eondi-
Il0Hs ktbtidlla VI tit btVptiAts hdhg
quotations from the prospectus are
embodied In the complaint, some of
which are as follows:
"Yon will note that unlike the ma
jority of mining enterprises. this is a
FULLY EQUIPPED MINE ready to
earn immediate profits by reason Of
the fact that il has all the necessary
machinery In working order. and a
large block OF ore fully developed.
and still larger block amost deyel-
oped this ore alone is OF a much
larger value than the whole OF the
cash asked for in the prospectus .
THE cash asked for in the prospec-
tus is approximately s30O,0o0.)
THE fact that the property has
$4,000 tons OF ore developed and
ready for extraction, and a further
body of ore equal In value and bulk
almost fully developed. is equipped
with an up to date mill and cyanide
plant, suitable for successfully ex.
tracing the values from the ore
stamps the proposition as an invest
ment nd not speculation"
The plaintiffs further allege thai
they believe the statements made IN
the prospectus to be true, but go or
10 say that since the organization oI
the company its affairs have beer
grossly and shamefully mismanaged
and the rights and interests OF the
plaintiffs and all of the stockholders
OF the defendant company have been
endangered. That from the time OF
the organization OF the company IN
TO August s. 1914. the mines and mill
were on different occasions worked
nut In such a careless. improper and
incompetent and extravagant manner
that the company was running in
debt during said periods of operation

ployed six or seven were high salar-
ied OFFICIALS and bosses. That a num-
Der oil the said high salaried Officers

si''ons they occupied during the said
periods of operation. That the COM

ELY FIRE LADD|ES
ELECT OFFICERS

The annual meeting of the Ely
Volunteer Fire department was held
in the city hall in Ely on Wednesday
evening and much business of i'm
PORTAGE was transacted.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Chief, Royal
f. Matthias; assistant chief, E. @.
Hull; secretary, J. |. jenkins; cap
tain hose No. 2, J. NJ. Johnson; SER
geant at arms, Jerry Luchesi.
After the meeting a smoker was
held to which a cordial invitation
had been extended to all good citi-
zens and particularly to those repre-
sentative taxpayers who have, and
should have, the greatest interest in
the greatest little fire department ever
organized. Mayor Witcher, with
members OF the city council, were
present and all made neat addresses
in which they paid fiattering tributes
to the boys of the department. r. Fl.
Hoffman delivered an interesting ad-
dress along clean cut business lines
and pointed out in no uncertain man.
ner the great benefit of such a de-
partment to the business men and
pronertv oNyuarc of tbn d;.tr;a, IL
quoted figures showing how by the
work of the fire department insur-
ance had been reduced substantially
and TO such an extent as to make the
maintenance profitable investment
for the business men. Chairman
Weber Of the board Of county com
missioners spoke from his stand
point as private citizen and one of
the heavy taxpayers of the county.
He expressed himself as well pleased
with the results obtained and en-
couraged the members TO keep up the
good work, assuring them that they
would receive the support 81 all good
citizens.
The matter of a salvage corps was
discussed. 1t was pointed out that
il such a corps to be composed OF
from three to FIVE men could be ap-
pointed and vested with police tower
to act while the boys were engaged in
extinguishing fire much good could
be accomplished. Spectators who
often become excited and unknowing-
ly interfere with the work of the reg
ular firemen could be kept at a safe
distance. Property when removed
from building could be safeguarded
and assistance could be rendered the
boys in their work in many ways.
Mayor Witcher assured the boys that
be would look into the matter and II
such corps could be legally ap-
pointed he would be glad to cooper
ate with them.
Refreshments were served and a
generally enjoyable evening was
passed The punch donated by Ole
Elliott of the Northern flowed like
water-but it wasn't.
The annual ball which will be
given on New Years eve was not
overlooked. The committee In
charge. composed of E. @. Hull, j. E.
Veal and J. l. Jenkins are laboring
night and day to make this the
grandest event ever given in the his
tory of the department. That their
efforts will be crowned with success
there can be no doubt. There will
be numerous new and novel features
introduced at this event. which are
now in the course of moulding and of
which due announcement will be
made later.
