WILL SHIP SHEEP OUT
OF WHITE PINE COUNTY

W. T. O'Neill of O'Neiil Brothers,
accompanied by George A. Hawkes.,
live stock agent of the Southern Pa
cific, visited Ely during the week
to ship the sheep belonging to
O'Neill Brothers back to Wells. Mr..
O'Neill says that he finds the sheep
SO weakened after the severe winter
that it will be profitable to ship
them back by train rather than to
stand the loss which would now re-
suit from the drive.
When asked as to how his loss
would compare this year with former
winters. Mr. O'Neill said that he
found it to be very heavy as soon as
conditions permitted rough count.
He estimates that with the cost OF
shipping the sheep added his loss
will approximate s25 900. He says
that owing to the bands being stop
ped first in White Pine and then in
Nye county his men were unable to
reach the points where they had
hoped TO when the severe weather
overlook them.

HILLICK BROS. AND FOX
SELL VALUABLE PROPERTY

An important sale of mining prop
erty was closed up on Wednesday
night, when the Millick brothers and
Jasper Fox sold a group of claims in
the Minerva district to Salt Lake
people who are backed by Boston cap
ital. The money consideration has
not been made public. but it is
known to run into six figures and a
substantial cash payment was made.
Since the location of the property
last fall the loeators have developed
what is said to be the greatest body
of scheelite so far discovered in the
county There is said to be three
distinct fissure veins in the group
running up to twelve feet in width
and which can be traced for nearly
mile in length There has been
considerable work done on the claims
but at the time this work was done
it was with view of taking out sill
yer. At that time scheelite was by
no means as attractive as it has re-
Gently become.
Work will be started at once on
the property and plans have been
drawn for a thirty-ton mill which
will soon be erected.
This property is located about ten
miles south of where the U. S.
Tungsten corporation is now doing so
much work, and where a prosperous
camp has been established. The
ground is said to be well situated,
with plenty of water and good roads
leading TO it.
There now seems to be but little
doubt that the Snake range will be
the scene of great mining activity

Mayor A. B. Witcher. who has for
some time been working to have the
silver service which will be used on
the battleship Nevada exhibited In
this district, is now in receipt of the
following letter from Governor EN-
met d. Boyle.
March 18th, 1916.
"Mr. A. B. Witcher,
Mayor of Ely,
ELY, Nevada.
My dear Mr.. Witcher:
my understanding is that on the
revised schedule the silver service of
the battleship Nevada will reach Ely
on the twenty-third instant.
For your information / will say
that it was necessary for us to re-
wise our original plans which contem-
plated the moving of the service to
some place in each town where 1t Is
to be exhibited. The character of
the service would have made this i'm
practicable, so we are exhibiting 1t
in a private car which will be spotted
at some convenient place in Ely
where the people of that town will
be able to review it. You will re-
ceive definite information in advance
from those persons in charge of the
service on the car.
with kindest regards. I am
Very truly yours,

Governor.
This service was contributed by
the state and was made from gold
and silver taken from the mines of
Nevada Mayor Witcher is anxious
that every person in this district be
given an opportunity to see the
grand service and it is certain that
no one will miss such a chance which
perhaps comes once in lifetime.
AS soon as the mayor is in posses
| sion of the definite information
promised in the letter from Governor
Boyle, he will see that due notice is
given and the car will be spotted at
the point found most convenient.
The mayor is particularly anxious
that the school children be not de-
/ prived in this matter and such ar
rangements will be made as to enable
them to review the service.

GEORGE DESKOS IS
DECLARED INSANE

George Deskos. who has been con-
fined in the county jail for the past
three months on a charge of having
shot and killed Louis Marines in a
Greek eating house at Copper Flat.
was yesterday declared insane after
an inquiry held in the district court
by Judge McFadden.
County Physician l. Alexander and
DR.. r. H. Richardson decided after
hearing the evidence that Deskos is
insane and dangerous District At
torney Jurich first called Under
Sheriff Jackson to the stand and Mr.
Jackson testified as to many acts on
the part of Deskos which would go
to show that he was mentally unbal-
anced. Mr.. Jackson stated that Des-
kos raved and talked at all hours of
the day and night, and seemed to i'm
agine that people were coming to kill
him. On some occasions he has
threatened to do himself harm and
has been prevented from so doing by
the officers who have him in charge.
Mr.. Jackson stated that Deskos has
recently lost at least twenty pounds
in weight and seems to be fading
away.
Jailor A. J. Millick was next call
ed to the stand and corroborated the
statements made by Under Sheriff
Jackson. Mr.. Millick told of Des-
kos grabbing a broom few days ago
and after breaking the handle out of
it, then got a piece of looking glass
and made a tomahawk
DR.. Alexander testified that he had
closely watched Deskos for several
weeks with the view of determining
whether the man was really insane
or shamming. He said he had be-
come convinced that he could not
sham so consistently for such a long
period of time. According to the
further testimony of DR.. Alexander
he was called several times to attend
Deskos, who complained of pains and
distress, but upon thorough exam
ination he could find no real disturb
ance. He said that Deskos imagined
his mother had reprimanded him for
the killing of Louis Marines, and
that his brother had likewise so rep
rimanded him on several occasions.
He imagines that people are watch
ing him and frequently thinks he
sees some one trying to break in the
Jail to do him harm.
Deskos was closely examined by
both DR.. Richardson and Dr. Alex
ander in open court, and was there
after committed by Judge McFadden
on the certificates of the physicians,
According to Jailor Milick, when
Deskos was first lodged in the Jail
