matters for the benefit of the town
took place and many suggestions
were made regarding affairs which

7. O'Boyle of McGiH
Is the Dictin1 of Fatal
Automobile accident

came upon his car, lying bottom side
up and headed in an opposite direc-
tion from what it had been going
The engine was running.
About this time Walter Hull came
along in his car, bound from McGill
to Ely, and gave assistance. In a
few minutes j. p Rumbaugh and
George letter. having been notified
of the accident arrived in the for
mer's car, and assisted in getting
Mr.. O'Boyle from the wreck. When
found, he was in sitting posture,
forced backward over the seat, the
steering wheel pressing against his
body, and the jagged glass from the
broken, wind shield about his neck
and face which appeared to be ter
ribly cut. Mr.. O'Boyle was breath
ing, but entirely unconscious. His
juglar vein was severed by the
broken wind shield and he died about
twenty minutes after being taken to
the Steptoe hospital.
After the injured man was remov-
ed to the hospital, Mr.. Rumbaugh.
with Mr.. letters assistance, towed
Mr.. O'Boyle's car to Ely. 1t was not
badly damaged.

behind him, but before the ambu-
lance arrived, DR.. |. Alexander, who
was on a call from Ely to McGill
passed by. The injured man was en-
tirely pulseless when DR.. Alexander
arrived, but he was Immediately
taken in a car driven by Fred Brown
who was returning to Ely from NC

speed to the Steptoe hospital. His
great loss of blood had so weakened
Mr.. O'Boyle that he was beyond all
medical aid.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
ON AULTMAM STREET

That the great boom is now on
cannot be denied when one just takes
a casual glance over the business
activity of this district. The block
between the Northern hotel and Fifth
street in Ely is particularly active
On the south side of the street, Ar
thur Knecht has entirely remodeled
his property, putting in new fronts in
both the building occupied by himself
in the conduct of his thriving busi-
ness and the adjoining building
which is now being occupied by Ed
Talbot. Mr.. Talbot formally open
ed his new place last night and the
house was crowded. The building
formerly occupied by Mr.. Talbot on
the corner of Aultman and FIFTH
streets, is now being completely re
modelled and will be opened about
next Saturday night as an up to date
thirst quenching parlor by Jack
Meaghre (Happy Jack). The au-
joining building at the rear of the
saloon and running along Fifth
used as a store room, will be here
after used partly in connection with
Happy Jacks saloon business and the
remainder of the floor space will be
occupied by Beleal Olander as a
tailor shop Large windows will be
put in the building along Fifth street
and the building on Aultman street
now occupied by the tailors will be
used as show room and the office
of the Fetty Transfer company. This
will be busy corner this summer
and the world knows Happy Jack as
a busy man.
On the opposite side of Aultman
street the building formerly occupied
by the McGeary five and ten cent
store is being completely remodeled
by J ohm Macart, who will occupy II
to accommodate his rapidly growing
general merchandise business which
he now conducts in the adjoining
building on the corner.
The Apex Cafe has enlarged Its
quarters by the addition of a large
room i'm the rear of the restaurant
which is fitted up with five tables and
affords sufficient floor space to give
it the advantages of a real cabaret
should patrons feel disposed to take
advantage of the music which is pro-
vided.
Aultman street today presents the
appearance of Broadway or Mar
ket street. Soon we will need a
traffic squad for the protection OF
people crossing the busy thorough
fare. The business men of the dis.
trict are awake to the great oppor.
tunity which now presents itself and
the fortunes made in Goldfield and
Tonopah now a matter of history
will doubtless be repeated during the
coming summer Carpenters and all
kinds of mechanics are in great de-
mand and many improvements are
contemplated by different business
houses just as soon as the necessary
men can be had to make the changes

Wintons Leave for Utah

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Winton left
this morning for Richmond. Utah,
where they will visit for short
while with Mrs. Winton's family and
from there will proceed to Eureka.
Utah, where they will make their
future home. Mr.. Winton has been
connected with the Graham Quality
shop for the past three years and
is making the change at this time in
order to be in lower altitude on ac-
count of Mrs. Winton's health.

Construction is being rapidly ad-
vanced on the 3O-ton mill of the In
dependent Tungsten company at
Scheelite, and 1t will be in operation
within comparatively short time.
Roads have been graded to various
workings a gasoline hoist is being
placed on shaft No. 3, and large air
compressor is being installed at the
portal of tunnel No. 1, from which
power will be supplied for machine
drills at this and other points. Good
shOwings of ore are in evidence at
a number of places, and the force of
SO men under the direction of Al d.
Meyers are bringing most satisfac-
tory results.
improvements that have recently
been made at the mill of the Uuited
States Tungsten corporation have
materially increased it's capacity and
efficiency, and should result in a
much larger output from the prop
erty. Superintendent o. E. Rood
house is striving for the best results
in every department of his opera
tions. and is succeeding to a crafty
ing degree, the recent increase in the
scale of wages being attractive to
high class men.
Equipment for the mill of the
Consolidated Tungsten company is
arriving and construction will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. De-
velopment on the Big Four vein con-
tinues to make splendid showing,
and this will be the scene of the CON-
pany's principal mining operations
until the mill Is completed and run
ming. Work will then be resumed on
the Gem and other veins that. have
good ore in sight.
William Stewart, manager of the
Nevada scheelite company, at Miner
va, reports a steady Improvement in
their mining operations, and they
now have about $50 sacks of high
grade ore. A small testing plant
will soon be placed on the property
to be followed by mill of good ca
pacity within the near future.
Machinery for the Piermont Min
ing and Milling company is arriving
on the ground and construction work
is under way. 1t is expected that
the plant will be in operation within
about two months.
Good progress is being made by
numerous smaller operators, many
of whom are producing ore, and new
and important finds are being re-
ported by prospectors in various sec
tions. Both sides of the Snake
range figure in these operations, and
when the prospecting fever subsidies

inaugurated on a very active scale.

OESPONDENT PIONEER
COMMITS SUICIDE

John Verzan committed suicide in
building adjoining the cabin in
which he lived at Lane. City, and was
found by Chairman John Weber Of
the board of county commissioners
about 2:30 O'Clock last Monday af
ternoon.
Mr.. Verzan was 85 years of age
and very feeble. He had also prac-
tically lost his eyesight, which SEEM
ed to greatly depress him. When
found my Mr.. Weber, he was lying
in pool of blood with 3S calibre
revolver by his side and bullet hole
in his left temple. The bullet had
passed directly through his head. 1t
is thought that Mr.. Verzan commit
ted the act perhaps Sunday evening,
as he was last seen alive about 4:3O
ON Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Weber had visited his old
time friend almost daily for some
time past. He had been asked by
Mr.. Verzan to look after his business
affairs and make arrangements for
his burial, saying he knew he would
live but short time. Those who
knew the old pioneer were aware of
the fact that he was depressed, but
his rash act came as a surprise. Mr.
Verzan turned over his small realty
holdings to Mr.. Weber, together with
sufficient money to pay funeral ex-
penses.
On Saturday afternoon o. r. Baird
took some groceries from the Camp
ton Commercial company store to Mr..
Verzan's cabin. He was told by the
aged pioneer to return the groceries
, to the store as he would not live long
enough to use them. He had gun
at the time and Mr.. Baird. on his
return to Ely, told Mr.. Weber what
had occurred and what he saw. 1t
was when Mr.. Weber went to the
, cabin with the intention of procur-
ing the gun that he found his old
friend dead
Mr.. Verzan was native of Austria
but was born of Italian parents. and
spoke both German and Italian flu
emily When but young man he
served under Gariba1di in Italy and
later came to America, being one of
the Forty-niners in California. In
! 1876 he came to Phoebe where he
met NJ. B. Garaghan, now of Ely,
and with whom he was later a part
ner in many mining enterprises.
One of the interesting stories told
in the life of Verzan is the theft of
the big nugget" from his placer
ground at Osceola. This nugget is
said to have been worth about $4,000.
It was carried to the old camp OF
Taylor, where it was later returned
| to it's rightful owner.
Mr.. Verzan was well known in the
mining affairs which made the old
camps of Navada famous. He was
citizen of sterling worth. About
eight years ago he was one OF the
owners of the Copper Queen mine
which he and his associates sold to
the Nevada Consolidated for good
figure. He has lived for the past
few years on the money made in min
ing transactions, but at the time OF
his death he is said not to have pos
sessed more than just enough to de-
fray his burial expenses.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the undertaking par
lors of Wilson-Bates, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Ely
cemetery. The funeral was largely
attended and many who had known
the old pioneer for upwards of forty
years marched with the remains to
the last resting place.

To the Voters of the Third Con-

spectfully announce my candidacy

subject to the primary to be held on
Sept. 18th. During the short time /

ord meet with your approval / will
feel greatly honored and profoundly
grateful if you will give me your sup
port in the coming election. Con-
gress has been in almost continuous
session since you elected me, and

Means Committee is now daily work
ing on a revenue measure; being on
that committee | must remain here
until the new tax law is passed. AS
soon as congress adjourns, or before

trict, meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both indi-
vidually and on the stump. If re-elect-
ed I promise to discharge the duties

CAVALRY TO USE
INVISIBLE HORSES "
AMERICAN ARMY VETERINARY
SURGEONS DYE ANIMALS TO
MATCH DESERT COLORS.

DOUGLAS, Arizona.-"Invisible'
horses will be an adjunct of the
American army if Uncle Sam fights
with Mexico-or any other country
They're making them invisible now
at Camp Jones, just east of Douglas.
Conspicuous gray horses are treated
with dye that darkens them to such
color they're almost invisible at
500 yards or more on the deserts of
! Arizona or Mexico.
In the low desert hills you can
sometimes see a man sitting on moth
| ing and galloping through the air.
You know he is on horse, of course,
but you can't see the horse.
Veterinary Nockolds of the First
cavalry started dyeing horses. They
were the first dyed for the United
States.
In 1905 an effort was made to in
troduce the system in this country,
| following its successful use by the
British army against the Beers in
South Africa. But the war depart
ment notified the veterinaries that
"there are no paints on hand for this
purpose" and the plan was dropped
Nockolds and Veterinary Mason,
of the Sixth field artillery, have dyed
number of mounts at Camp Jones
with good results. Gray horses are
colored so they can't be identified in
group of six pulling a gun.
The dye lasts until the horses begin
shedding hair; then it must be re-
moved. But it is a simple operation
and the animal can be dyed and dried
in an hour. Generally he gets a sec
ond coat to give him more even
color.
/ When he is turned loose in cor
rial with the rest of the troop or bat
terry mounts the dyed horse can't be
told from the others by an outsider
Some of the best looking animals in
the camp are dyed.
But they have to get acquainted
with the other horses all over again
for their own team mates can't recog.
nize them.
Nockolds dyed a white mare used
as leader for some artillery mules
When the mare came back the mules
would not follow her.
Once in the Philippines an expert
ment was made in dyeing horses. Il
failed there, but afterward they dis
covered that in the Philippine climate
it would have been necessary tc
bleach the horses before dyeing them

Other Contents of the Dust Bin That
Find Profitable Use.
Many people imagine when an ar
ticle is cast into the dust bin its days
are ended This, however, is not so,
for all the contents of dustcarts are
carefully sorted as they are emptied,
anything of value being put aside.
Disregarding things such as scissors,
knives, etc, many corporations are
making a big profit out Of their
dust" You wouldn't think that
there would be any value in egg
shells, yet every year as many as 400
tons are required in the manufacture
of so-called kid gloves and also in
printed calico.
Corks, too, are a valued item, for
they sell to manufacturers at the rate
of nine cents a pound, and in a
year no fewer than $4,000 worth
are thrown away.

and Sinks Among Man-Eaters.
BALTIMOREH, Md.-The loss of
one of the crew of the Norwegian
steamship Venator is reported by
Captain Anderson on the arrival at
this port of the steamer from Same,
Cuba, with bananas.
The sailor was Victor Matheson,
who shipped on the vessel at Boston,
and who, while temporarily insane,
jumped overheard from the steamer
on it's outward trip from that port to
load its present cargo.
The officers of the Venator say that
the shin was stopped and that life
boat was lowered, but the search for
the missing man proved unsuccess-
full. Several sharks seen from the
side of the ship made, it is believed,
short work of the unfortunate sea-
man.
