MAYOR W|ICHER OF ELY
DEFENDS NEW TAX RATE

The reduction In the city OF Ely tax
rate from si.75 10 sl.25 on the 800
valuation has been the subject OF con-
siderable discussion since the cut was
announced. and in the meantime city
affairs generally have occupied the at
tention Of some citizens.
Mayor Witcher when interviewed by
a representative of the News and asked
for an expression OF his views said:
Il believe that when you oppose 4
reduction IL the city OF Ely tax rate
from si.75 on the 500 to si.25 You do
so unwisely and without understanding
why the cut was made. 1t was myself
who proposed the reduction and I did
IL for what thought. aud still think
was fer the best interest OF the tax
payers.
when l first became mayor the city
nad n floating Indebtedness OF $4,000
and outstanding bonds amounting to
$4,000 more. Administrations under
me have paid Off this $4,000. reduced
the bonded Indebtedness by $4,000, be-
sides paying interest on IL to the
amount of $4,000 and taking care of the
ordinary running expenses aud upkeep
of the city in the meantime.
.Oytr and above this we have &C
cumulated $4,000 in the city treasury.
Sc 600 of whicl. Is set aside to apply on
the old bond issue. leaving $1,000 clear
and available for Sidewalk repairs o.
for other purposes.
a cut of so cents in the tax rate
means saving to the people of Els
OF $1,000 a year. Under present dc
pressed business conditions I think the
action OF the council was a wise and
proper enc and will be understood and
appreciated by the taxpayers. A high
rate may have been justihable In the
past in putting the eity's finances on
n sound footing. but new that this has
been dorc we felt II To be our plain
duty to lower the rate.
Il further believe in necessary i'm
provements. but I do not believe tina.
the great majority of the taxpayers
want or will sanction an expenditure
OF their money on such improyeme
as the purchase OF the Chairman auto
mobile park"

GREAT POSSIBILITIES
OF ELY.CALUMEI NINE

One of the most attractive mining
properties In this section of the coun-
ty Is the Ely-Calumet; first, becauce
of its geographical situation. as 1t lies
almost entirely within the corporate
limits of the city of Ely and but q
| stones throw north of tee Northern
hotel corner
Secondly. because of the fact that
mining engineers with international
regulations who have examined the
ground have without exception strong
ly recommended its further develop
fnent. but capitalists withheld theil
support and left it tc the real miners
to do the work of making big mine
Early last October A. ID. Myers, OF
Tonopah and Goldfieid fame, who is q
| regular miner and who has risked not
| only small fortune but his own per-
sonal labor without stint, returned &c
| this district and renewed his efforts
TO develop the resources of the Calu-
met. lie Lad enlisted the suppot OF
such men as E. W. yenable. W. IL
yenable and J. NJ. Hayden of Norfolk
Va. who were willing 10 take a chance
with such a miner and builder of thu
west as Myers. Since that time OPP
| erations have been renewed on the
| most promising ground.
Last night a representative of thu
| News endeayored to obtain an inter
view with Mr.. Myers regarding the dc
velopment work. but in his character
| istic style Mr.. Myers replied: when
we make a mine on the hill YOU can
not help but see it
Upon further and persistent qnes.
tioning, however, the reporter learned
that since the renewal of operations
under direction of Al Myers abou
sixty tons of zinc oxide have beer
| taken out, which will run from 5;
to 40 per cent, and Is now on ths
dump ready for shipment.
| Copper running Ii per cent has beer
| encountered as we'll as silver -leat
running Is per cent lead and fiv,
ounces silver. The lead is a chrys
talized form. which shows TO a min
ing man that there are gigantic bodie,
OF rich metal below.
| In fact. the development work pros
ecuted during the last few months
confirms the opinion formed by sucf
men as Mr. Myers when he risked his
money TO acquire the property. Like
all other big mines. money has beer
needed to develop it, but that matter
has now been arranged and with ths
management now at the helm the resi-
dents of this district have sufficient
warrant TO believe that the earl,
spring may bring to their doors just
one more great mine that will add to
The mineral production of the west.
r.. W. Nenable. who has had world
of experience in the coal mines OF
Virginia. arrived in Ely about ter
days ago and is now giving his pe;-
sonal attention to the property. work
ing side by side with Mr. Myers. The
mines of the west are more attrac-
tive to Mr.. venabie than the coal
mines and he will no doubt later be.

Lester Robson came in from his
ranch In Spring valley last Friday
night and brought with him two fine
beef for the Ely market. THE market
is all right" said Lester when seen
yesterday, but the price Is low. The
best could obtain was 10 cents per
pound. but that simply goes to show
that everything Is coming down. and
while the drop appears to be sharp I
hope no attempt will be made to dis
criminate and the workmen may find
his cost of living cut in proportion
to his decrease in wage. Ii that be
true then We may find the cost of n
steak on the counter low enough to
warrant the raiser OF beef in bringing

Goods | consider the former a more
modern picture than the latter, or at
least it shows that the modern genera
ton follows the advice of the family
physician more conscientiously than did
those OF former times and also the
modern generation is not SO easily in
duced to quackery and the quack. For
example, the young man in Some Wild
Oats" after being infected with syphilis
and after being assured that he had the
disease, put himself under the care OF
his physician and followed his orders.
The result of this was that in proper
time the young mans blood test was
taken and the Wassermann was mega
tive. He was pronounced cured by
his physician and allowed to marry.
The children that they will bring into
the world will be healthy and free
from any trace of inherited syphilis.
In Damaged Goods the young man
infected with syphilis was seeking a
quick cure and not a thorough cure.
His medical advisor impressed upon his
mind that he could not marry before
certain date. The young mar became
oYer-anxious and sought the advice OF
quack who took his money and told
him he could marry in a short time.
This man married before he was
thoroughly cured and as result OF this
grave mistake his wife bore a child with
inherited syphilis.
Properly informing the public concern
ing the importance OF social diseases,
and especially syphilis, is indeed great
problem. There are SO many times that
syphilis is overlooked both by patient
and physician. in the early stages, and as
a result OF this oversight many indi
viduals go into the third stage and suffer
the consequences OF neglected treat
ment, Syphilis, in the later stages,
shows up in the form OF swollen glands,
open sores, severe neuralgia pains, head
aches, which are more severe at night,
gummatous conditions OF various organs
OF the body, also inflammation of the
brain and spinal cord In fact there is
no organ in the human body that the
germ OF syphilis does not attack. Forty
per cent OF the cases of insanity can be
traced to neglected syphilis.
