White PINE COUNTY MAN
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY

]. NJ. Lockhart. who has for many
years been one OF the leading attor-
neys of this district, is said to be
slated for the important post OF Unit
ed States district attorney.
The appointment has been referred
to in the press frequently during the
last week and the papers published
in the western section of the state
seem to accept 1t as a practical GER
tainty that the local attorney will
soon be inducted into the high Office.
Mr.. Lockhart has served with dis-
tinction in the assembly as repre-
sentative from White Pine county and
his legal ability has placed him
among the foremost attorneys of the
state lie is said TO have the back
ing OF the powers that be in the re-
publican party, who are demanding
his appointment. 1t is pointed out
that from a polital standpoint the
appointment of the White Pine coua-
" man would be judicious one, and
this. coupled with the fact that the
Office would be in safe and able hands,
seems to round out the situation.
Those who view it from political
standpoint say that while White Pine
is one of the most important counties
in this state, both in population and
taxable property, it has never received
the slightest recognition at the hands
of the republican party. Again. the
view is taken that Mr.. Lockhart has
been of great service TO his party. He
has served in the legislature with an
excellent record hut at the expense
of his own private purse and has
made the sacrifice of his lucrative
practice in Ely while his duties as a
lawmaker demanded his attention at
Carson City. The vote cast for him
in recent elections when he has been
a candidate and elected by such an
overwhelming majority bespeaks his
popularity.
While Ely will regret to lose one
of its most highly priced citizens the
western section will be the gamer
and the federal department will have
added strength by the appointment
of Mr. Toekhart

LARGE SUM AVAILABLE
FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK

The county commissioners were
advised by letter received from the
state highway engineer, George w.
Bodren, during the week, that under
the highway law road construction
work of the value of S42G.000 could
be initiated in this county during the

this money is appcrtioned S210,0O0

remaining 10000 from the treas
ury OF White Pine county
The letter further says that this
work will include the work from the
Robinson summit to the Pancake
summit, on the Lincoln highway, and
q portion of the work between Key
stone and Ely" and intimates that if
White Pine county cannot or does not
care to put up 100000 a lesser sum
might be agreed upon ut the same
ratio.
The matter was discussed at a spe-
cial meeting held by the directors Of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
proposition approved in principle.
That is to ay, that White Pine county
should go ahead with needed road
work, ard II for every dollar of coun-
ty money put up three dollars can be
obtained from the national and state
governments combined, 1T should be
accepted. provided, of course. hat all
money is iudiciously spent in the
proper place, and in which the county
should have its say. To this end The
county commissioners yesterday sent
the following telegram,

EvENTfUL EXPERIENCE
IN DESERT SNOW FOR
WHITE RIVER TEACHER

The story of Mrs. Claude r. Town
send. school teacher. lost in the
snowy wastes of desert section of
Nevada last New Years day, sounds
like fiction, and that the product of a
master mind.
Mrs. Townsend, who has been in
charge of the school at the Owen Ca
zier ranch, in White River valley, for
some time past, spent the holiday
week in Ely in company with her
husband, Ranger Townsend, in charge
of the forest station at Currant creek
She devoted some time to confer
ence on educational matters then in
session in Ely and remained IN the
city to witness the passing into his
tory of 1921 and the welcoming of
the birth of the new year. She left
Ely New Years day for the White
River valley to take up her work
there the day following. She was
travelling in a car driven by Francis
M. Root, teacher of the school at
Duckwater. and some difficulty was
experienced in crossing the White
river summit owing to the heavy fall
of snow.
At point about twelve miles out
from Ely car trouble developed and
Mrs. Townsend started to walk in tie
direction of the CaZier ranch, expect
ing that when the car was repaired
she would be overtaken by 1t and car
ried on to her destination.
She had previously made but two
trips over the desert and the dim
roads had become practically oblit-
Grated by the drifting snow, and as
night began to fall the lone young
woman of tender strength and re-
fined instinct, having mistaken a
wood trail for the regularly travelled
road. found herself in isolation.
swept by the winter blasts across the
great desert where only the swapping
bark and the hungry, shrill wall of
the coyote ard other beasts of the
desert could be heard.
With only the stars to guide her
and spurred to what might we'll be
termed superhuman effort by the hid
eous thoughts which enter the hu
man mind under such conditions, she
trudged along. breaking her own trail
through the snow, until 10 o'clock at
night, when after travelling distance
of approximately twenty miles she
finally reached the town of Preston.
where she found food and shelter and
remained for the remainder of the
night. when she was conveyed to her
school and resumed her educational,

Ely Man Seriously III
at Old Home in East

Frank +. Carlin, who has for some
time past been in charge of the black
smith department of the Ely Pack
ing Company, is i'll at his former
home in Pittsburg, Pa, where he has
been spending his holiday vacation,
but the latest telegraphic advices re-
ceived by Mrs. Carlin in Ely are re-
assuring and to the effect that Frank
is on the road to recovery and will
soon be able to return home. which
will be welcome news to his many
friends IN this district.
Thursday Mrs. Carlin received
n telegram saying that her husband
was seriously i'll with pneumonia and
advising her to come to Pittsburg at
once. Due TO the fact that there was
no train service out of Ely until Sat
urday Mrs. Carln made all prepara-
tions to start for her husbands bed
side on Saturdays train, but since
receipt of more encouraging mes
sages she has decided to remain here
until mis- return.

COPPERM|MES COMPANY
OFFICIALS VISIT DISTRICT
MAY MEAN NEW ACTIVITY

N ID. Brayle, general manager, and
l.. ID. Frink, consulting engineer OF
the North Butte Mining Company,
spent the last week in this district,
where they visited with General Man.
ager Hewitt of the Consolidated Cop
permines Company at Kimberly. and
left yesterday morning for their
homes in Butte. Mont.
The two prominent mining men
made unofficial visits In a friendly
way TO the prominent copper proper
ties in the district, such as the Ruth
and the Boston and Ely Consolidated.
When interviewed by representa-
tive of the News Friday night neither
Of the distinguished visitors had any
thing to say regarding the object OF
their visit at this time other than ii
was what might be termed friendly
call on General Manager Hewitt and
others.
II is generally understood that the
big interests of the North Butte Min
ing Company, which is one of the
most prominent in the mining world,
are closely allied with the Consoli-
lated Coppermines at Kimberly, and
when asked regarding the story
which is being so frequently told on
the streets that the workings in the
Ruth mine. where such large bodies
of su1phide ore have recently been
discovered, have now reached point
within fifty feet of the boundary line
of the Minnesota claim, owned by the
Consolidated Coppermines. that there
was nothing that they could say on
the subject at this time.
The copper situation is unques-
tionably improving and the visit here
at this time by two such men as
Brayle and Frink has naturally
caused considerable speculation on
the part of the public.
1t is pointed out that the next few
wears should be productive ones for
the big copper properties. and many
hold to the belief that men OF fore
sight are preparing TO make hay
while the weather is good.
This has again given rise TO the
rumor of proposed activity in the
way Of greater facilities for the re-
duction of the Consolidated Copper
mines ores and the construction OF a
large plant to be fed by the waters
of Steptoe creek.
Ii will be remembered that when
the Giroux Consolidated merged with
tho Coppermines company. forming
permines Company. not only was
mining property acquired but the
waters OF Steptoe creek was also
gathered in. The question is freely
asked, us this not for a big reduc-
tion plantf"
That the great wealth which is
known TO nnderly the surface of the
ground owned by the Consolidated
Coppermines Company and other
properties adjoining, such as the
Boston and Ely Consolidated. must
soon find its way TO the markets of
the world seems to be beyond ques-
'tion.
The general feeling in this dis
trict. which depends almost solely on
the activities of the copper proper
ties for its existence. has frightened
considerably within the last thirty
days and the opinion held by con-
servative men is that the next thirty
days will bring about the opening up
of mines around and about Ely that
will usher in an era of prosperity
which will far surpass any that has
gone before.
