SIVE BUSINESS TRAINING Is
DESIRABLE FOR MAN SEEKING
UNITED STATES sENATORSHIP

A. II. Howe OF Goldfield was Wis
itor in the district during the past
week leaving by auto on Friday. Mr..
Howe was accompanied by Mrs. Howe
and e. G. Snedaker, son of the late
J. A. Snedaker, who was so prominent
in the mining world and largely in
terested in the Giroux mine here
Mr.. Snedaker expressed himself as
greatly pleased with his visit and
what he saw here in mining way.
Mr.. Howe Is of modest and re-
firing disposition such as is frequent
ly found in men of such large busi-
ness affairs and who devote their lives
to the great business problems which
they have to solve. When pressed
for an interview by a representative
of the News, he said
my visit to Ely involves a COM
bination of business, pleasure and
politics The trip from Goldfield
over the good roads which are char
acteristic of this part of the Midland
Trail was a genuine delight. Such
trips constitute my chief recreation.
brought with me Mr. E. G.. Sneda-
ker, who Is connected with the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company, in
order that he might observe the meth
DDS employed by the Nevada Consol-
late company in handling their ores
by the process of oil flotation. We
are installing a large plant in Gold
field for the treatment OF our ores by
that process, and We were much in
terested and profited by our observa-
tion of the Ely method.
with regard to politics, while /
have visited Ely several times in past
years, II has not been previously pos
sible for me to acquire a wide ac-
quaintanceship here, and ] thought
that this would be good time to WIS.,
IL while and get acquainted. | have
met many delightful people in the
past few days and expect to. meet
many more. and il they are half as
favorably impressed with me as
with them, l ought to be approved as
senatorial candidate.
II find in Ely a sentiment. discov-
erable in many localities, that the
election to the senatorship of man
who has had extensive business train
ing is desirable. 1t is my hope and
expectation that this sentiment will
crystalize into support of my candi-
dacy. have always had the habit
of work, and If elected to the SEN
atorship l will apply that habit to
the duties of the Office and endeavor
to determine and promote the inter-
ests of this great state.
THE last time I visited Ely feel
ing of intense depression existed in
the camp, and it is pleasure to find
now that that feeling has not only
disappeared. but is replaced by one of
equally intense hopefulness based up
on substantial prosperity. | shall
carry away with me most agreeable
recollection of my visit and of the
people who have made 1t SO pleas

ELY MAN LOSES
ROLL IN FRISCO
STANLEY MARK ENTRUSTS HIS
SAVINGS TO FAIR SIREN WHO
VANISHES ON MORNING Or
THEIR WEDDING DAY

Stanley Mark, miner from Ely.
awoke last Wednesday in San Fran
cisco on the morning of his wedding
to find that his intended bride had
flown, and that $500 of his savings
had also gone.
The bride that was to be, Mable
Hall. a resident of Taft, Kern county,
has been charged with grand larceny
in complaint sworn to before Police
Judge Oppenheim. Detective Ser
geant David Murphy has been detail
ed to apprehend Miss Hall.
Marks story is that he met his
former fiancee during a visit to the
oil fields. He fell in love with her
he says, and soon afterwards 1t was
arranged they should be married. By
appointment he met Miss Hall in San
Francisco, he says, their intention be-
ing to pick out an automobile, be-
come man and wife and then return
to Nevada in the machine for their
honeymoon.
Rather than carry the currency
about with him, Marks says that he
suggested banking it. whereupon his
companion advised him to place 1t in
her safe deposit in a downtown bank
in the earthquake city. When he
called at Turkish bath for Miss Hall
Wednesday, he was told that she had
not registered. Inquiry at the bank
in question satisfied him that the
money had not been deposited.

RECEPTION FOR
VISITING ELKS

Elks from all parts of the Ely dis
trict gathered at the city hall last
Wednesday night to consummate ar
rangements for the entertainment OF
a delegation of b. p. o. Il. that will
arrive from Tonopah and Goldfeld
on May 2l. II Is anticipated that
there will be at least 100 Elks in the
party.
A smoker and entertainment will
be held at the Bio hall on the even
ing of May 81, and the dance will oc-
cur the following evening at the same
place.
The big noise" was expected to
be pulled off last January, but Ii was
necessary to defer the festal ocea-
sion owing to the heavy snow storm,
which made II impossible for the
Elks in the southern portion of the
state to make the trip across country
in automobiles.
Candidates from this section are
fully cognizant of the reputation
gained by the Elks from Tonopah and
Goldfield as entertainers de luxe.
When the best people gather here for
the forthcoming festivities, the COM
mittee in charge will see that there is
