Selfishness Is Not the Proper
Spirit for Nevada's Progress

Miss Carmen II. Jewett. secretary
of the Nevada Highway association,
as shown BY her letter to the Ely
Record. has picked up the gauntelett
and will enter the lists to demon
strato to Ely that the attitude OF
sensitive selfishness Is not the spirit
to build up the state OF Nevada.
While In Ely. Miss Jewstt did not
promise special advertising TO this
section. but frankly stated that the
organization she represented was
Just as much interested In Elko and
in every city and road Ia the state
as 1t was In Ely and the Lincoln
highway.
In the opinion of several of the
local autoists the greatest need In

not object to Ely or any other city
boosting for itself, but when a city

the appearance of cramped selfish

Organization Perfected
to Take Charge of
Tognini Holdings.---
Mill Also a Possibility.

w. F. Gray, d. A. Eastman. c. A.
Liddell and Frederick E. Young,
who spent part of the week in Ely
in connection with the Elk fest:vi-
ties, impaired good news concerning
new mining activities in close prox-
unity 10 Ely. These men have secur-
ed control of the Tognini property at
Silverton, Nevada, and have made ar
rangements to proceed with rapid
development of this ground. The
property has been known as one of
had hands capable of bringing it to
state of development which thte
great showings deserve. Mr.. ToG-
mini has fully realized its worth, but
has not had the means to handle ii
to a large extent and has TO the pres
ent time been unable to find men of
means who would appreciate the
worth and opportunities of proper
ty of this magnitude
Mr.. Liddeli and Mr.. Young are min
ing engineers and with Mr.. Gray and
Mr.. Eastman have thoroughly sam
pied the various claims OF the prop
erty and have interested eastern cap
ital to such extent that the under
taking is now thoroughly financed.
No stock is offered for sale, but some
may be after the separate companies
are organized.
Ii is planned to organize six com
panies to take charge of various
groups of claims and the develop
ment work will be done by leasers.
The reason for this is to secure the
most rapid development possible.
Mr.. Gray stated to a News represen-
tatiye that he can place seyenty-fiye
leasers at work Immediately and
start every one on ore TO begin with.
Sixteen leases have already been
granted and will be in operation be-
fore March Is.
There are thirty-three claims in
this group and it is intended that
six companies will be organized to
handle the property. Among these
are the Silverton Mines company,
composed of New York capitalists,
who will be represented by Robert
Hogue, and the Treasure Hill. also
represented by Mr.. Hogue: the Sill
yer Queen group, owned by the Sill
yer Horn Mining company, controlled
by New York men. The Woodrat
group. Elephant group aud General
Grant group will be organized into
three companies by Mr.. Gray and his
associates.
A milling company is being organ
lied to take care of ore furnished by
the leasers and enable them to get
the benefits of reduced shipping
charges. Ample water is assured by
pipe line from Chimney Springs.
That the town of Silverton is to
be a proposition is indicated by the
progress being made towards neces-
sary steps in the way of townsite
which has already been mapped out.
store buildings already under con-
struction and a garage being built.

consideration in this connection is

to the round house and requested
that an engine be run over the pit
which was was done while Ted"

down into the pit. Learning that
he could not distinguish anything liz

into the pit and make a thorough
search. He borrowed the oyeralls
of a fireman and pulling cap over
his face he descended the ladder into
the pit. where he discovered the
much-wanted man standing O few
feet away. Woodward spoke to
Fristoe and then climbed out of the
pit and informed the posse that the
quarry was down there.

to go mp to the car and invite the
bandit to give himself up. Wood
ward raped on the side of the car
with his Winchester and demanded
the surrender of Fristoe, but reeeiy
ed no response from the man inside.
Wood ward then climbed up on the
rear platform of the car. raped on

out and give himself up. as be was

cape. and that il he did not come out
he was coming in after him. Fristoe
then opened the door of the caboose,
thrusting out his arm with his rifle
held by the barrel. and surrendered
himself to Teddy Woodward. Fris-
toe was then turned over to the Off
GERS who searched him and brought
him TO Ely. where he was lodged in
the county jail.
Leonard Fristoe made the state
ment in the Jail that he shot the two
men. saying that he shot In self-de-

Mr.. Gray has not visited Ely for
over thirty-fiye years, although his
boyhood days were spent here, and
he found many of his former school
mates before leaving town. He stat
