patches from Austria confirm the
news that Francis Joseph, emperor
of Austria and King Of Hungary and
Bohemia passed away last night
The end came peacefully. His death
ends the longest reign in modern his
tory, except that of Louis XIV.
Francis Joseph L, was born August
Is, 1880, and ascended the throne of
Austria, Dec. 2, 1S49, on the abdic-
ton of his uncle, Ferdinand /. He
was the eldest son of the late Arch
duke Francis Charles and Princess
Sophia.
On ascending the throne Francis
Joseph found the empire shaken by
internal dissensions, and his first
step was to promise free and con-
stitutional government to the peo-
pie. The course Of events forced him
to close the National Assembly and
to assume absolute control. At the
same time he abrogated the consti-
tuition of Hungary, the people being
in rebellion against him and were
only brought to subjection by the
armed Intervention OF Russia, while
he owed his hold on italy TO the
skill of his veteran General Radetz-
ky. Having at last obtained internal
peace and freedom for his govern
ment he promulgated the edict of
Schoenbrurn, September 26, 1851, in
which he declared the Government
was responsible to no political au-
thority other than the throne. His
next step was to inaugurate fiscal
and commercial reforms favorable to
the middle class.
In April 1851, Francis Joseph mar
ried the Princess Elizabeth Amalie
Eugene. The Empress was assass-
mated at Geneva by an italian an
archist, September 10, 1893. The only
son born to the royal couple, Crown
Prince Rudolph, met death under
mysterious Circumstances at Meyerling
about five months after his mothers
tragic end.
The shortcomings of Francis
Joseph were those which tempera-
ment, education and environment
were chiefly responsible. He was a
man of simple tastes. His chief re-
creation was hunting. He found
deep place in the affections of his
people, won thru acts of kindness
toward them. Twice a week the
aged Emperor gave audience to any
of them who might wish to consult
him. Nothing did more to endear
the Emperor to his subjects than
those informal audiences, thru which
countless wrongs were quickly re-
dressed, troubles smootf1ed away, as
sistance rendered, as we'll as franl,
soldierly advice given. and more dis
tress relieved than the world will
ever hear of.
The great war raging in which his
country is involved undoubtedly has
tened the death of the aged Emper-
or.
AS yet plans for the funeral have
not been made public. 1t is expect
ed the Kaiser, the Gar of Bulgaria
and the Turkish Grown Prince will
attend.

FLOTATION PLANT is
SUCCESS AT BELMONT

The old camp of Belmont, which
abs been idle since 1886, was taken
owe by a Los Angeles company last
fall and they have installed the
fiotation process in a plant of SO
ton capacity, and are turning out
about $50 tons per month of high
grade gold and silver concentrates.
The concentrate is being hauled by
auto trucks to Tonopah, where it is
shipped to the smelters. A tung-
stem strike was made by the

Auto Accidents Frequent

Since the coming OF warm wealth
er and the opening of the tourist
season there have been a consider
able number of automobile accidents
in Nevada, particularly in the north
ern part of the state. John Butler,
an automobile driver OF Elko, was
killed a few days ago ON the La.
noble road about Is miles out of
Elko. He was travelling with a
party of three when he took one
hand from the steering wheel to
point to a nearby hill about which
he was talking and lost control of
the car, which turned over, pinning
him underneath. He lay under the
car for II hour before the other
members of the party, who escaped
with slight injuries, with the assist
ance of passing autos, extricated
him. He was alive during the time
he lay under the car. but died
shortly after being removed. j. l..
Williams and wife, both of whom
are about 60 years of age, and who
passed through Goldfeld a short
time ago, touring from Long Beach
to their home in st. Joseph, Mo,
met with a serious accident about
two and a half miles east of East
Ely. The car turned turtle, pinning
Mrs. Williams under it. Her hus-
band escaped with slight injuries.
Mrs. Williams was taken to the
Steptoe hospital, where she was
found to be suffering from two
broken ribs and severe bruises.

SHIP CONCENTRATE
FROM TUNGST0M|A
PROPERTY NEAR ELY SAID TO
INSURE A SUBSTANTIAL
PRODUCTION

ELY, New, May 17.-No portion
the Snake range is attracting
more attention than is the Tung-
,stonia district, at the north end Of
the tungsten belt, and it is evident
that this is to be n of the largest
producing sections of the range.
Foremost in this district is the
Ophir group, owned by A. r. Shep-
herd and George NJ. Rea of Los
Angeles. The group consists of
20 claims. the principal vein be-
ing known at the Veta Madre, which
is traceable for a mile through this
property and then far beyond into
adjoining ground.
More than $4,000 worth of con-
centrate has been shipped from
less than 800 tons of ore that has
leen treated at the mill up to this
time, every pound of ore produced
from the big vein having been Sent
to the mill without sorting. The
ore was handled in this way as an
experiment to ascertain if the entire
NVIh' WIN 10 ~ " oO lttI Wlucy
could be worked at a profit, AID
this has been demonstrated to a
highly satisfactory degree.
. Until recently one man has bro
ken practically all the ore needed to
supply the small mill that was con-
structed and put into operation dur
ing the winter, but now that the
capacity is being about doubled by
the addition of other equipment. to
around 50 tons a day, mining on
erations have been increased and
icy ground is being opened for pro
duction.
The original equipment consist
eG of a cotton Ecleston ball mill,
a crusher, two Eccleston concen-
t~rating tables and a steam engine,
boilers, etc. To this is being add
ed a new 20-ton mill and a Whitley
table, which will give greater eff
cheney as well as about double the
capacity.
From a short tunnel and a small
open stope that vas raised to the
surface in the form of a ~gloryhole
practically all of the ore treated has
been produced, resulting in an out
put of about two tons of high grade
concentrates per month to date. Up
the hill 200 to 800 feet above the
tunnel a new open cut has been
started, with a liberal showing Of
h~ubernite. and along tn main gulch
which the vein follows toward the
mill another quarry is being OPEN
ed across the vein, which is here
80 feet wide. That this will be a
large source of ore is indicated
by the profuse naturalization, i'm
mense punches of high grade being
thickly disseminated through the
vein.
While operations in the past have
been of an experimental nature. they
will in the future be pushed to the
fullest capacity of the enlarged
mill. The working force consists
of is men, in mining, milling and
hauling.

FEDERAL AID SOUGHT
FOR NEVADA HORSE
SENATOR PITTMAN URGES BILL
FOR PURCHASE OF
STATIONS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May H.
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada who
is sponsor for the bill recently in
troduced in the senate calling for an
appropriation of $500, 900 for the
purchase and maintenance of stall
lions t o be used in the production
of horses for agricultural and mil
itary purposes bad the following to
say in discussing the measure which
has been referred to the commit
tee on agriculture and forestry, of
which Senator Gore of Oklahoma is
chairman.
Il was actuated in the introduG-
tion of the bill by a knowledge of
conditions in my W state, where
we once had an abundance of
horses of an enduring type. Within
the past is months buyers, both 10
cal and foreign, have taken many
thousands of head of the very SORT
OF animals we require for such
campaikns as We are 10Y %prosecut-
ing in Mexico, and where with only
a small force of cavalry in opera
ton the remount situation is acute.
Realizing that the geographical pc
sition of my state and the high
freight rates would make it one of
the last to receive the attention of
the representatives of foreign gov
ernments l thought 1t was impera-
tive hat something be done to re-
pair a damage which must be ma
tionwide.
There are sections where good
horses may be reared economically.
md where there are special
conditions that tend to make for
endurance and bone. Nevada is one
Of these, and by reason of it's at
titude and the character of the
range we develop an animal of great
muscular and lung power. ONr
native mares should make an ideal
cross for the thoroughbred sire.
What Kentucky. Tennessee. Virgin
ia, New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio.
Montana, Illinois, Michigan. Yer
ilollt' anu QUIET uOTSe DTeeulnS
states have done is a matter OF
history, and we could naturally ex-
pect cooperation from these and
other progressive communities.
THAT there is a strong seuti-
Tent in favor of the measure is
shown by the endorsement it is re-
ceiving on every hand" said Senator
Pittman in concluding. 81 am as
sured that many horses of pure
blood may be secured at fair prices
n there is also a likelihood that
many will be donated by those who
are in sympathy with the project
and recognize its vital Importance
az this time. The prepotency OF
the thoroughbred sire and the in
fluence he would have upon the
general horse product of the west
was a prime factor in the passage of
a racing law in Nevada. 1t is gra-
tifying to note the increasing i'm
rOrtations of English and French
thorOughbreds. Their blood will
have much to do with the future
development of the cavalry type of
animals in the country
