Irish Pleased
with Prospects
UNCOVERING OF METALLIC BIS
MITTH HAS CAUSED VETERAN
PROSPECTOR TO BECOME IN
VOLUABLE MOOD.

There is nothing to dim the hap
piness of David Irish, Mizpah mine
operator who is spending a few days
in Ely. His cup of JOY seems rather
sweet, since he encountered a deposit
OF metallic bismuth ip one of his
working shafts at depth of sixty
feet The Importance of the dis
eovery cannot be ignored, as the price
of that metal is quoted in reputable
mining journals at So a pound.
The mineral tract controlled by
Mr.. Irish was subjected to a rigid
examination by the late William
Parish, a mining engineer known
from Alaska to Mexico. Parish de-
elared in his report that at the price
of copper ten years ago, the proper
ty now controlled by Irish was worth
several million dollars.
He said that hazard OF loss in the
development of ore values is reduced
to a minimum, and should not cost
to exceed $4,000 IL the money for
development purposes is properly di-
rected and economically used.
While the properties were mere
prospects when Parish gave them the
up and down. his conclusion at that
time was that there was not one
chance in a hundred for them to fail
not only to make a good mine but a
great one. He recommended sinking
upon the four different large veins
TO depth between 200 and 800 feet.
Parish intimated that the veins
will be barren so far as mineral is
| concerned until water level is reach
ed, at which point rich and perma-
nent copper ore should be encoun-
tered.
1T has been ten years since I first
cast my lot with Mizpah," said Mr..
Irish, land l still retain the same
confidence in the future of the camp.
Mizpah needs only limited amount
/ of capital TO bring that section out
of its lethargy. I have encountered
sulphides in three different working
/ shafts from twenty to sixty
/ feet from the surface. Wherever
there is an outerop. they show ores
containing gold and copper. Mizpah
is only five miles from the main of
the Nevada Northern, and I believe
It will not be long before that camp
gets the recognition TO which it is
entitled"

Sudden Death
of Engineer
FRIENDS EXI'RESS BELIEF THAT
R0BERT McLEARIE'S DEATH
WAS PRODUCED BY ATTACK OF
PT0MAINE POISONING.

Robert McLearie, a mining engi-
neer and brother-in- law of J. A.
Gallagher, formerly superintendent
OF the Veteran mine, died quite
suddenly last Tuesday night at the
Scott rooming house under peculiar
circumstances
Jnsatisfied as to the real cause Of
his death, Dr. !. Alexander. the
county physician, sent the stomach Of
the deceased to The chemical labora-
tory at the University of Nevada for
analysis. 1t is the belief Of friends
of the deceased that his fatal Illness
was due TO an attack of ptomainc
poisoning.
Uuon being notified of McLearie's
death, Coroner Collins assumed
charge of his remains The young
mans grips were filled with letters
from friends scattered througout the
country. Mr.. Collins sent numerous
kilograms to outside points. and
learned only yesterday that the de-
ceased was a brother of Mrs. J. A.
Gallagher.
McLearie and a companion had en-
gagged a room at the Scott house
Monday night. and departed the fol-
lowing morning. taking their person
al belongings with them. The deceas-
ed returned about o'clock, and do
sired to obtain sleeping quarters
McLearie must have been taken III
shortly after retiring. for II was only
a few minutes a person occupying a
room upstairs informed the manage
ment that McLearie was Ill. Hasten
Ing to the second floor. the landlady

Dr. Gleason was summoned by tele-
phone. but the sick man died shortly
after his arrival. There we're no in
dications that he had taken poison,

A message was received from Mrs.
Gallagher by Justice Collins Monday
afternoon. asking that the remains
be held until her arrival.
Mrs. Gallagher evidently decided
not to make the trip to Ely for her
husband wired Rev. J. w. Gum,
master or the Ely lodge of Masons to
have the lodge assist In the burial of
the deceased and that he would be
responsible for any bills accruing
from that source.
McLearie arrived In Ely about
three weeks. and succeeded in OBJ
tanning employment at the GirouX
Consolidated. His actions and bear
ings indicated that he was youth OF
education and refnements. The de-
ceased had acquired a rowing DIS
position at an early age, and had
been employed in every mining camp
of any Importance In the western
country.

FRANK HADLEY DEPUTY
SHERIFF FOR EAST ELY

Sheriff Mclean has appointed
Frank Hadley deputy sheriff at East
Ely and Morris Roberts in a similar
capacity at Ruth. A petition was
circulated at East Ely the first Of
tie week, asking that a deputy be
appointed. and an appreciation for
the officers salary was made follow
Ing the presentation of the petition

have been a number of cases of

Floaters from outside points and of
unquestionably undesirable charac-
ter have been unusually numerous,
and the citizens of the railroad town
were unanimous in the opinion that
a peace officer was needed. Mr.. Had

WE CANNOT FORCE

Amsterdam, Oct. $ George tioe- thien Progressive member Of ttle reichstag, is today quoted as saying at meeting of the central commit tee of his party, that, altho the mil- itary situation is satisfactory, there is no hope of crushing Germany enemies on land.
 For the submarine campaign he declared that seven million tons oi shipping has been sunk, but no dis position toward peace on England part is discernable.

ENGLAND FORCED
 TO REPLY IN KIND
Passive Defense of Country Against German Air Attacks Requires Too Much Elfort-Shows Germany's
 Desperation.

London, Oct. i-The necessity of the adoption of retaliatory air war fare was brought home to the Brit ish by the campaign of the last ten days as only an experience can bring it home. The result is that the press and public opinion are demanding that the policy of passive defense for England be dropped and that a strong air offensive against Germany be waged immediately
 By the employment of some fifty machines and, at the most 200 men, including aviators and mechanics, the enemy has forced England to de- tach several hundred valuable guns and several thousand men, including skilled eunners. for home refense, and also large number of machin- ists. searehiights with operating staffs and other experts. The men and material devoted to this ofIen- sive is small compared with the men and material these attacks compel England to maintain for the defense

May Force Statement.

London, Oct. S.-External pressure to force the German government to set forth it's war aims clearly hay- ing failed on the surface, the inter- nal conditions within the empire threaten to compel the issuance of a full statement of Germany's aims.
 What the leaders want-if they are successful-wil be discussed i'll the reichstag this week, possibly to- day.
 Imperial Chancellor Michaelis is finding his way as difficult as did his predecessor, von Bethmann- Hollweg, and he must now face the Icritics of the government in the Ireiehstag.
 Whether, as has been charged, the bureaucracy and the army have been furthering the pan-GernAan scheme of annexation and indemnl- ties, il is expected viii be brought out in this debate.

 The new British drive is being made in the same region where the attack of last Thursday, one of the greatest in effectiveness of the war, was delivered.
 On that day the Germans were ex- pelled from 'the high ground along the ridge east of Ypres. giving the British dominating positions of the greatest strategic importance.
 The wedge in the German line has been driven in so deep that, with the high ground lost, their position has been made most unfavorable and an- other strategic retreat has been predicted.
