PRICE OF SILVER TO BE FIXED

II has been unofficially stated that
an agreement has been reached with
the government officials fixing the
price of silver at one dollar per
ounce. This is certainly welcome
news TO this section of the country
and the public spirited men who took
ire matter UP from this state with
the government officials are deserv-
ing of great credit.
1t is generally believed that the
price OF lead will gradully go up to
about eight cents and this. with sill
yer at one dollar would open many
snail mines in this sertion. The lead
silver properties have been practical
y idle up to short timc ago, but
now that the price seems about to be
fixed where the miner can get fair
return for his labor much activity
is looked for.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES AT THE
STAR POINTER BOARDING HOUSE

One of the most enjoyable festal
celebrations of the week was the
Christmas tree and the turkey din
ner at the Star Pointer boarding
house on Christmas. The spacious
dining hall was decorated in fes-
toons of national colors with spot
lights playing on the flags about the
walls. A mammoth Christmas tree
adorned with beautiful ornaments
and myriads of twinkling lights with
an American flag proudly floating
from it's top presented a beautiful
aspect for the three hundred men
who participated In the festivities.
A bounteous turkey dinner was also
a part of the program of the day to
which ample Justice was paid, and
much credit is due Mr.. Gregory for
the efficient management of the af-
fair. Charles Rose is also to be COM
plimented upon his efforts in the
scheme of decoration.

The Question IS
Can Yankee Rue
Whip 81. Cair ,

While fights which have attracted
the attention OF the entire world
have recently been staged in Ely, the
best is yet to come and during the
past ten days arrangements have
been made to bring together Yankee
Rue, the pride OF this district, and
Willie st. Clair, the young colored
marvel who gave such a magnificent
exhibition here in his last fight with
Young Mafoney. Perhaps a more
attractive battle could not be ar
ranged. Both Rue and st. Clair
fight along the same lines. They are
clever and know the game from its
every angle. Rue not only has the
cleverness but has had the ring ex-
perience and this, his ar mof fol-
lowers believe, will carry him on to
victory. st. Clair is boy Just ap-
preaching 81 years of age, but has
met and conquered some of the best
men in the business and is generally
regarded as coming champion.
The question now to be decided is
whether or not the veteran Rue will
be able to break the record of st.
Clair and If he does he will add one
great star In his crown of victories.
One thing is certain and that is that
the battle from the start will be one
of he cleyerest and most interesting
ever witnessed in a prize rign.
The promoters have arranged for
one high class preliminary and are
now at work to stage a battle royal,
which 1t is hoped will be an evenings
entertainment all In itself. st. Clair
will arrive in the district within the
next few days and 1t Is safe to say
that no follower of the great game
will miss such rare treat which is
seldom offered in any great city in
the world.

FIRE BOYS TO GIVE GRAND BALL

For years past one of the events
of the season has been the ball given
by Ely's fire department on New
Years eve. and the twelfth annual
ball which will be given in Bio hall
tomorrow night promises to surpas
all previous affairs OF that nature.
The fire laddies can be relied upon
at all times to produce the best re-
suits in any direction they may
start. There will be novel features
introduced at this great ball and GER
tainly no one will fail to attend the
dance II 1t be only for the purpose OF
proving to the boys that all appre-
ciate the great work they have done
In the past when on many occasions
they have prevented the city from be-

Such an organization surely deserves
the hearty support and cooperation
of every man, woman and child In
the distiet and at the ball tomorrow
night 1t is safe to say that support
will be evidenced by the greatest at
tendance on record.

ROBs ROOM MATE OF
WATCH AND MONEY

John Doe Wallace returned to Ely
Father Unexpectedly last night under
instructions from Under Sheriff Van
Newman. He was greeted at the
the train by the under sheriff and es-
corted to the Jail where he taken UP
a temporary abode.
According to the story as told Wal
lace arrived in Ely for the first time
on Thursday night. At Cobre he
met Oscar Shoeman. a miner. who
was on his way from Park City,
Utah, expecting to locate in this dis
trict.
Wallace, as Shoeman tells the
story, made himself generally enter
tanning and when the two arrived
here they engaged a room at the Mod
ern rooming house on Aultman
street where they remained both
Thursday and Friday night. During
the day Friday they visited the diff
ferent cafes and other resorts and
early in the evening Wallace went
to the room alone. When Shoeman
arrived at the room about midnight
he found Wallace awake but In bed.
He retired and upon awakening in
the morning found that he had been
relieved of his watch and what mon
ey he had In Is clotes amounting 10
approximately $4,000. An investi-
cation brought forth the fact that a
man answering the description of
Wallace had departed on the morn
ing train.
Under Sheriff Van Newman imme-
diately wired Sheriff Mclean, who
happened to be a passenger on the
outgoing train, destined to Califor-
MIA. who had no trouble in finding
the man answering this description.
He was Immediately placed under ar
rest and returned on the same train.
The property lost by Shoeman is
over the value of $4,000 and there

Neoada Northern
Railuay Concurs
With Government

Col. J.. G. Cannon, vice president
and general manager of the Nevada
Northern, had little comment to
make on the governments action In
the matter of assuming control of
the railroads of the country He
stated to a representative of the
News that he had wired Secretary
McAdoo that everything possible
would be done to make the Nevada
Northern fully efficient In Its CO.
operation with the government plans,
and would work in full accord with
instructions. He said II was his
opinion, however, that the local road
would not be so greatly affected
under the new regime as would the
trunk lines and those roads where
parallel or competitive lines we're In
operation.
A circular was issued by the Ne
vada Northern yesterday calling at
tention of shippers to the new order
and quoting the telegram from the
government on the subject, urging
their cooperation in facilitating the
loading and unloading of cars In or
der that they may be kept in active
service at all times. A part of the
circular reads as follows:
"The purpose of the assumption by
the Government of the operation of
all railroads in the United States Is
TO secure the maximum of efficiency
in handling freight traffic.
'"ro shippers who use the Nevada
Northern Railway as the initial car
lier in marketing their products,
special attention Is caleld to the load
ing of all cars to full marked eapac-
ity.
The Nevada Northern Railway
company purposes to follow out the
instructions or orders of the Direct
or General of Railroads, and TO that
end all shippers are hereby notified
that their lading must be in line with
the marked capacity of the car as
outlined.
AN additional feature which will
serve to increase efficiency is the
loading of cars in "a hours after be-
ing spotted. or not under any cir.
cumstances tc exceed IS hours, which
latter is in conformity with the free
time allowed for loading. The Gov
,rnment, however. desires that where
ut all practicable lcadig should be
done within the "a hours commenc-
ing at Z o'clock the following morn
ing after placement of cars.
The Nevada Northern Railway
Company expresses the hope that
shippers OF carload freight will give
their hearty cooperation in attaining
the ends desired by the Director Gen.
cral of Railroads.

as well as strengthen his own de-

Then again the question Is asked
would Governor Boyle like to fill the
high Office personally, IN which event
he might resign as Governor with
the understanding that his appoint
ment would follow.
OF course the section of the state
constitution which many claim blocks
Chief Justice McCarren Is pointed
out by those who favor the candidacy
of one of the others. The Chief
Justice himself. howefer, does not
take that view of the law and the
matter was discussed from every
angle In the public press during the
last campaign In which Chief Justice
took an active part. Section II of
Article VI OF the State constitution
is the one In question and reads:
THE Justices of the supreme court
and the district Judges shall be In
eligible to any Office, other than a
judicial office. during the term for
which they shall have been elected;
and all election or appointments
OF any such judges. by the people,
legislature or otherwise. during said
period. to any Office other than
judicial shall be void
After all other views have been
expressed on the different phases OF
the situation the great question Is
what view will Governor Boyle take?
The outcome OF the contest may In
the end wipe off all writing on the
polltical slate for the coming election
and COMPEL the politicians to start
again anew. While Governor Boyle
will no doubt before making the APP

NEWLANDS DIES
SUDDENLY At
CAPITAL

Senator Francis Griffith Newlands
of Nevada died or heart failure at
his home In Washington Monday
night, after an illness of few hours.
He was stricken while at work in his
office at the senate Office building
during the afternoon, but was able
to go home. and the capital knew
nothing of his illness until the an
nouncement of his death.
No one realized the seriousness of
the senator's condition, and a physi-
clan was not called until late in the
evening. Then the heart attacks had
become acute. The end came sud-
denly at 1915 o'clock as Mrs. New
lands and her brother watched at the
bedside
For several weeks Senator New
lands, working almost night and day
on his preparation for an investiga~
ton of wartime transportation prob

of health. He kept at his desk, how
ever, in spite If his 69 years. and ap-
peared alert ard active.
The death OF Senator Newlands
was entirely unexpected. Immediate
ly became the one theme of conyersa-
tion. Expressions of regret were
heard everywhere.
Francis Griffith Newlands was one
of the few men left in American
public life who bad lived in three
great eras of the republic says the
Rena Gazette.
Born near Natchez, Mississippi.
thirteen years before the Civil War
broke out, he spent the four most i'm
pressionable years of lads life dur
ing that conflict and 1t influnced his
whole after career. His family was
intimate with Bishop Leonidas Polk
of the Episcopal Church In Louisiana.
who was killed in the war fighting
as general on the Confederate side.
and the young Newlands often saw
and spoke to the bishop in his boy
hood. Perhaps this had an influence
on him, too, but Senator Newlands.
outside of the immediate circle of
his intimates rarely spoke of the war
days.
At the age of nineteen. Newlands
was sent to Yale and spent year and
a hal there. but the self-reliance
that had been taught him during the
civil strife made him impatient of
the academieal cource and he decid-
ed to go to the heart of things, the
national capital. He matriculated
at Columbian College law school at
Washington in 1869, but was ad-
mitted to the bar of the supreme
court Of the District of Columbia be-
