sEWARD'S OPPORTUNITY

The prospects in sight for fishermen m Alaska were never brighter than they at present The demand for sh is increasing every day. until now it is getting beyond the widest dreams of any fisherman on the Pacific coast
 For example in 1915 the catch of halibut amounted to sxty-sil million pounds and the average selling price
 r the year was 57 cents In 1916 the catch amounted to fty-four million pounds and the average selling price for the year was 98 cents By this the production was increased about twelve million pounds. Some say these conditions were owing to the fshemenS strike but the trouble was ended July last and the price keeps soaring just the same with great increase in the amount of fish caught
 The most reasonable solution of the whole question is this: Haibu are getting scaIce banks the mar ket are fshed out which cOmpels the fishermen to go farther to make their catch fact which is being proven every day by the boats belonging to the big fish companies coming onto the banks off Seward between Cape Clear and Kodiak and taking their loads then proceeding to Ketchikan Prince Rupert or Seattle to market ttem Several of these big boats have been the banks and loaded during the last two weeks
 This goes to show that the largest banks of the world off Resurrection bay will have to be drawn on to large extent to satisfy the demand for habut in the United States, and the price will remain firm
 With cold storage plants at Seward and better facl ties for handling fish, the smaller fish boats will come those that are not able to make the long trip to Kechkan to find market and there hundreds of them that can fish successfully one hundred miles from their home, But this is Stewards opportunity with cold storage plant

JURY CONv|CTS
IN MURDER CASE
BEN kUHL FOUND GUILTY OF
KILLING JARBIDGE STAGE
DRIVER

Arguments were concluded in the
Ben Kuhl homicide case Saturday
night and the case went to the jury.
Within two hours a verdict was
reached of murder in the first de-
gree with no recommendation, which
means that the defendant must ex-
plate his crime on the scaffold, or
by being shot to death.
The case will be remembered as
one of the most noted in the Grim
inal history of Elko county. The trial
attracted larger daily crowds than
any case ever tried in the local
courts.
The crime for which Kuhl was
convicted was the killing of Fred
Searcey, driver of the mail stage
from Three Creek to Jarbidge. He
was just at the edge of the town
when he was shot in the back of
the head, and death was presum-
ably instantaneous. The team was
then driven about a quarter of a
mile to a clump of brush where the
mail sacks were slashed open and
rifled.
About $4,000 was taken, only a
small part of which has been re-
covered. A bloody hand mark Oh
IN of the envelopes, which accord
ing to expert testimony was made
by Ben Kuhl, was an important
part of the testimony, and it had
much to do in assisting the jury to
arrive at a verdict.
The trial of two other men, Beck
and McGraw, who are charged with
completely in the murder, will i'm
mediately follow. The Beck trial
started this morning. After this
trial the McGraw case will come up.

GREENWOOD STRIKE
PROVING BONANZA
LARGE TONNAGE OF ORE En-
POSED AND MILL
PLANNED

The Greenwood Leasing company
put ON a night shift early in the
week and with the Amalgamated
Phoebe company also working a
night crew, the hill above town is
putting on a much livelier aspect.
The Greenwood company is driv-
ing from both the Greenwood and
Amalgamated ends to connect the
two mines. When this is accomp-
lished the Greenwood people will
again materially increase it's work
ing force. These mines have places
for more men right now and in fact
there is a scarcity of help every
where in the district.
A tremendous tonnage of ore has
been exposed in the Greenwood
lease; it seems that everything is
ore on every side, top and bottom.
Developments this week have only
gone to emphasize further the state
ment made heretofore that the Green
wood strike is the biggest thing that
has happened in this camp. if not
in the entire state, as far as silver
lead mines are concerned, in many
years.
Everyone who has seen the strike
declares that it is simply a wonder,
SO it seems very probable that it
will not be long until the Greenwood
will be ranked as a dividend payer.
Just what disposition is to be
made of the vast bodies of milling
ores has not been definitely deter
mined, but there appears to be only
one solution and that will be the
providing of a reduction plant. -

WARD MINES
MORE ACTIVE

The old camp of Ward has taken
on new life and the activity shown
today gives promise of bringing the
historic camp into it's own again.
About 40 men are now employed
on the property which is under the
supervision of Lane Pearl. The
boarding house is being enlarged so
as to accommodate more men, and
ore is being taken out and hauled
to the bins at East Ely as fast as
transportation can be arranged for.
About so tons per day are being
hauled and this will be materially
increased soon.
1t has been a great task to get
the property in shape but this has
been accomplished in a remarkably
short space of time.
The property is one of known
value and under the able direction
of Lane Pearl, the leasing company
which now has it under control has
bright prospects for handsome re-
turns.-White Pine News.

BOARD TO
RE-ExAM|hE WITT
ADJUTANT GENERAL GIVES
PERMISSION FOR REOPEN
ING OF CASE

At the request of the local ex-
emption board Adjutant General
Sullivan has granted the board per-
mission to reopen the case of Ralph
ID. Witt for physical examination.
Witt was among the first men
examined, at a time when the board
was doubtful regarding the secur-
ing of a quota as readily as it even
tually was secured, owing to the
number of foreigners claiming
exemption. He passed the eye test
with minimum marks and 1t is
known that had not the apparent
shortage of men been so great at
the time of his examination he
would have been rejected and it
was understood at the time that
the board passed him knowing al
most with certainty that army ply
sicians would not pass him.
The board still fears that If he
is sent to American Lake he will
be returned and for that reason he
will be called before it for re-ex-
animation.

MINERS WHO KNOW
RESCUE WORK LISTED

The Bureau of Mines, Depart
ment of the Interior, prints as a
roll of honor the names and ad-
dresses of the miners through ut
the country who. have taken the
bureaus course in m~ine-rescue
work from July 1, 1914 to June so,
1916. Copies of this report are be-
ing sent to every mine operator
and state mine inspector in the
country, in order that in the event
of a disaster in this district or at
his mine, he will be able at once
to determine the nearest available
trained men for rescue work.
Mine wne in the past have CO.
operated in this n as much
as they could, but have sometimes
been badly handicapped and delay
ed in endeavoring to learn which
miners have been trained in rescue
work. The report gives the names
and addresses of more than 5000
men.

MIMI
INSTALLING PLANT
NEW EQUIPMENT WILL EyPE-
DITE WORK OF OPEN
ING NINE

The last report received at To
nopah from Superintendent w. l..
Taylor recited, among other inter
esting items, the fact that some
good ore was being opened up north
of the old workings, on the levels
above the 3OO-foot station. The
report stated that it was all good
milling ore, but inasmuch as it had
just been encountered and the S
cut had not got through it at the
time, it has been impossible to
Judge of it's extent.
The machinery which Mr.. Taylor
has succeeded in obtaining, after
a long and arduous search, has
been arriving at a fairly sa~tisfac-
tory rate, but there are still some
pieces of the equipment on the
road. These are expected at any
day, and their receipt will allow
the prosecution of development
work to be carried on at much
greater speed than is possible with
the limited equipment On the ground
al present.
The main working shaft has
been d%ewatered, according to the
report, very nearly down to the
2OO-foot station UpOn the compile
ton of the cleaning out process to
this depth, exploration work will
be started at the lowest level.-TO-

BLOCKING OUT ORE
IN LA TOSKA MIN

A policy of operation during the
months between now and the spring
of next year, which will govern at
the Humboldt Consolidated's l.;
TOska mine, in Humboldt county,
was announced today by Superin-
tendent John b. Newman who is in
Reno on business. The policy in
cludes employing a larger force Of
miners, keeping them busy block
ing out, and extracting ore to be
put on the dumps all during the
winter. with the plan of putting un
a mill for handling their own ores
at that time.
Newman reports a well defined
vein beyond the black lime contact,
on the 13O-foot level, and says the
assays show a very good grade Of
milling rock with occasional streaks
of highgrade in some of the string-
ers out in the formation which lies
between the main vein and the black
lime dyke. Eastern officials of the
company are expected to arrive at
the property within the next week
or ten days to discuss details of a
mill to be built in the spring.-Ga-

|.W.W v. KNOCKS
DOWN VETERAN
ATTEMPT TO SELL PUBIICA-
TION LEADS TO
TROUBLE

In the county Jail now are three
alleged l.. w. w. sympathizers and
one alleged deserter. The last o
the four, Jack Lobe, a recent al
rival here, was put in last night h..
Chief of Police Morrison for Great
ing a disturbance yesterday after
noon in the Mozart cafe.
According to Marius Durand,
proprietor of the Mozart, Lobe en-
tered his place and asked him t
subscribe for the Eye Opener" a
radical publication. Durand told
him he did not want the Eye
Opener" During their nvers
ton Lobe had purchased a glass of
beer, which was on the bar, and
Lobe made a remark to the effect
that he would not be surprised if
Durand had put poison in IL.
Durand then took the glass from
the bar and refused to serve Lobe.
1t is alleged that Lobe then made
a talk against the government and
when S. F. Grenache, a veteran of
the Civil war, demonstrated with
him, Lobe hit the latter and knock
ed him down.
1t is said that Lobe then left the
cafe and re-entered it in a short
time with a knife in his hand. Two
pocket knives were found on him
when he was searched at the Jail.
Seeing him coming, Durand reached
under the bar as if to get a gun
and Lobe ran from the place.
When Chief of Police Morrison
reached the Mozart he found Gre
nache, who still maintained that,
though an old man, he could defeat
Lobe in battle and asked Morrison's
permission to kill him after the
officer had found him. Morrison
told him that, much as he regretted
it, he could not grant him permits
sion to dispose of Lobe and went in
search of the latter, finally locating
him in another saloon, where he
placed him under arrest.

PRODUCTION
FROM WARD MINES
DAILY WITHOUT
SORTING

The Badger-Brass Leasing COM
pany, which for the past two years
has been operating the old. mines at
Ward under the management of
Lane Pearl, now have the property
in condition for a large tonnage of
output. A considerable amount of
time was spent in opening up the old
workings and in cleaning out the
caved ground, which has been &C
complished. and the carbonate ore
shoot definitely blocked out to a
depth of ESQ feet.
The surface of waste material
covering the orebody to a depth of
about 10 feet is now being removed,
after which the ore will be caved
from the different levels of the
property, thus affording a daily ton
mage of ore which will be be limited
only by the capacity of transporta-
ton.
At the present time two White
trucks and two other trucks with
trailers are employed in hauling the
ore to the bins at East Ely, from
which it is drawn into cars for ship
ping as needed.
The lessees are shipping an aver
age of probably SO tons of ore per
day, but this result will be material
ly increased as additional transpor-
tation facilities are secured. The
ore is shipped without sorting rs it
from the mines, which is a
considerable saving in time and
money. The leasing company is now
employing from 35 to 40 men, and is
extending it's boarding house and
kitchen equipment to accommodate
an increased force.-Ely Record.

NEED TRUCKS
AT HAMILTON

Great quantities of rich ore are
being held at the mines about Ham
ilton by reason of the fact that the
mining men are unable to get teams
or trucks to haul the precious
metals to the railroad at Kimberly
or Eureka.
Axtel Shields was a visitor in
Ely during the week and stated that
the only drawback at the present
time was the lack of transportation
facilities.
1t has always been known hat
vast quantities of rich lead-silver
ore was lying idle in the Hamilton
mines, but owing to the low price
Of the metal up to a few months
ago, it was impossible to mine and
handle it at a profit.
The cost of hauling from the
mines to the railroad alone is from
$12 to SIS per ton, out with the
present high price of both lead and
silver a good profit can now be
made. 1t would seem that the haul
ing of this ore at the prices offered
would be a profitable business and
should induce many who have good
teams and trucks to enter the field.

The Wright's Canyon Tungsten
property last week shipped it's first
car of scheelite to the concentration,
and the last few days have been de-
voted to running it through the
plant. Savage reports that the
scheelite content of the ore is good
and that the ore produced a high
grade Of concentrate.-Gazette.

pany, has had some shafting straight
ened in Winnemucca and some of
the old machinery repaired. The
old members of the company have
recently sold their stock, so the
corporation is composed now most

MAN WITHOUT CARD
IS ARRESTED HERE
MAN FROM LINCOLN COUNTY
SPENDS NIGHT IN
JAIL

Henry C. Stouffer spent last night
n the county Jail because, according
himself, he lost his registration
card. Stouffer was taken in Gus
tody by Tom Rea, the Noun Jack
son mining man, who says he saw
Stouffer at Hornsilver three weeks
ago and at that time asked him for
his card, Stouffer telling him he did
not have it with him. Rea saw
him against last night in GOldfield
and again asked him for his card.
When Stouffer told him that he had
lost the card he took him to Jail.
Stouffer says he registered at
Hike, in Lincoln county. He has
been working in Tonopah and came
here yesterday afternoon by auto
mobile with friends. He says there
is little chance of his being called
into the army at the present time,
because his registration card is
numbered in four figures, so that
he is far down on the Lincoln coun-
ty list.
He is believed to be mistaken in
his statement that his card is num-
bered in four figures, as Esmeral-
da's quota is 80, with a total regis
tration of 375. Lincoln county's
quota is Al.
This morning Stouffer stated that
he had been dishonorably discharg-
ed from the regular army some time
ago.
The Lincoln county exemption
board has telegraphed and asked
to give the status of Stouffer and
late this afternoon a reply was re-
ceived telling the board here to
hold him, as he has been certified
to the district board as a soldier
after failing to report for physical
examination when his name was
posted.
This makes his present status
that of a deserter from the national
army. His order number was given
in the telegram as $50 and he was
ordered to report Aug. II, according
to the telegram.
