RUTH ACETELYN WELOER
INJURED BY EXPLOSION

Joseph Flate, welder employed
by the Nevada Consolidated Copper
Company at Ruth, was severely in
jured last Wednesday by an explo-
sion of carbide gas. He is now in
the Steptoe hospital, whbre he Is
said TO be improving. II was at first
thought that Flate would lose his
eyesight, but he can now see out of
both eyes. His condition has not yet
reached the stage where any definite
conclusion as to the ultimate result
can be reached.
The injured man had cleaned the
hopper of the generator which he was
using in his work and moved it on a
truck used for that purpose from the
machine shop, where he cleaned II.
to the locomotive shop. where he was
TO again use it. His helper was OH

bringing IL to the locomotive shop.
He then attempted TO remove the set
screw cap at the top when the gas
exploded directly in his face
The general assumption Is that
after Flate cleaned the hopper some
loose flakes of carbide Jared loose
while the generator was being moved
10 the locomotive shop. Thinking
that the hopper was entirely cleaned
Flate undoubtedly put the water in
the generator and when he removed

N M'G|LL HOUSE IN RUINS
FROM STOVE EXPLOSION

An explosion occurred in a stove
in cabin at McGill last Friday night
which startled all in the neighbor-
hood
The occupant of the cabin, coming
off shift, prepared TO start a fire in
the stove and after all was in readi-
ness he touched the match and walk
ed outside. He was closely followed
by practically the whole house. Doors
were landed on top OF the chimney
and portions of the roof got mixed up
with the foundation. The stove was
reduced to scrap iron and the place
generally presented a dipalidated ap-
pearance.
When the owner of the cabin
calmed down later in the evening he
at first thought that one with whom
he had not been entirely friendly of
late had visited his abode during the
day, and it occurred to him that per-
haps the explosive material might
have been stored in the stove with
homicidal intent. Sheriff Nicholson
was notified and made thorough in
vestigation of the matter. The man
whose property was INJURED later
thought better of his friend and said
he knew no harm was intended. He
begged the officer not to take his
friend into custody, as all was well
that ended well. and so the chapter
ended

AUETMAN STREET PAVING
EARLY NEXT SPRING

| That the paving of Aultman street
through the city of Ely will be COM
menced In the early spring, in all
probability about April l., and be
completed during the next summer
was the encouraging information re-
ceived when the mayor and members
of the city council held their regular
meeting in the city hall last Monday
evening
City Attorney j. NJ. Lockhart In
formed the mayor and councilmen
that the $4,000 cash proceeds of
the sale of bonds was now in the
hands of City Treasurer Thomas A.
Bath and the national government
was ready to proceed with the work
as soon as the surveys and other
matters of necessary detail had been
completed
City Engineer Millard said the
plans for the proposed work would
be gone over by the engineers in the
near future. He further pointed out
that in order to widen the culvert
underneath the railroad tracks, by
which clear view for some distance
on either side of the now dangerous
culvert will be obtained and the feat
ure which has been a menace to
travel in the western end of the city
since long before it's Incorporating
will be eliminated, it will be neces-
sary to obtain certain rights of way
from the owners of the property ad-
| joining. This feature, 1t was consid-
cred, could be easily disposed of be-
cause all residents of the city, to-
gether with those who travel to and
fro, have for many years desired to
see the much needed improvement
proceeded with. Now that the op-
portunity is at hand 1t is safe to say
all will gladly join and do their part
to push it to completion at the earli-
est possible date.
The resignation of Night Marshal
J. F. Wamboldt and the appointment
of his successor came up for dis
cussion and occupied the attention
of the city officials for some time,
the resignation being accepted.
Bud" Straud has been acting as
night marshal under the apppint-
ment of Marshal Jackson and the city
marshal asked for the confirmation
of his appointment. After some dis
cussion the matter was allowed to
remain open the view being taken
that n the event of any dissatisfac-
tion in the future the marshal could
dispense with the services of his as
sistant without unnecessary delay
A letter from Attorney Anthony
Jurich was read, in which attention
was directed to the advisabilty of
covering the ditch through certain
sections in Central Ely with heavy
plank. Mr.. Zurich urged that the
ditch be so covered for its entire
length. The suggestion seemed to
meet with favor. provided the ex-
pense entailed is not too great. The
matter was taken under advisement
and after investigation will be de-
termined upon at the next meeting.
