ElkO Paper Is Sued

Supporters of Pittman and Caine,
alleged to have been melted by the
Elko Independent, broke loose a
few nights ago and tore down a
woman's party banner that had
been hung across the main street
of the town. 1t urged women to
vote against the democratic nation
al candidates because of the party's
opposition to national woman's suf-
frage. The paragraph published in
the Independent pronounced the ban
ner an outrage and ended with the
advice, Down with it," The ad-
vice was followed. Supporters of
the democratic candidates are said
tc have torn the banner from it's
fastenings and destroyed it. Miss
Martin has now brought suit against
the Independent, holding it GRIM
inally responsible for urging an un-
lawful act.

r. NJ. Edmunds is in town from
the Ashdown property, situated a

the Humboldt Star. Edmunds has
charge of that property and states
that there has been a complete
change in the milling plant. Instead
of the New Idea process, installed
at the time the operating company
took hold, a new five-foot Hunting
ton mill has been installed and now
satisfactory results are being OBJ
tanned on the plants. The present
capacity of the mill is about 40
tons a day, but the operating COM
pany expects to install another Hunt
ington mill before long.
Quite a large force of men are
employed and a large amount of
development and outside work is be-
ing accomplished.
The Ashdown mine has been un-

for a number of years and has

Edmunds says that good milling
ore is blocked out on the levels.
No. 10 tunnel, which Is in over

The mill is being housed in a sub

which was laid on the surface, is
now being covered. Other substan-

and Mr.. Edmunds says he looks for
much activity there for some time
to come.
