How Carmen sylvia Got Her Name.

How Carmen sylvia Got Her Name.
Among the many interesting people
with whom Ex-Ambassador StrAus was
associated in his long diplomatic
career was the beautiful queen Of
Rumania, who is known so widely I'M
der her pen name of Carmen Sylvia.
The woods always appealed to her, so
when she began to publish her work
at the age Of thirty she decided
to take the Latin name for woods"
That gave her sylvia" To associate
with the woods she wanted the word
for bird" but Avis" did not suit her,
so she took Carmen or song" in
stead.

HARLOW,S DEATH NAY FREE
DAWN MARGARET WILLIAMS

With the death at Tonopah this
week OF Samuel Harlow there is an
excellent chance for Dawn Margaret
Williams to go sect free for the nlur-
der OF Jesse II. Coyerly. According
TO practically the unanimous opinion
Of the Ely bar she stands the best
chance of being granted new trial
by The supreme court, and in such
event there would net he a material
witness against her II would force
District Attorney Edwards to move
for a dismissal of the case.
Mrs Frank Buster has gone. no
one knows where, and will take care
to continue this ntate of ignorance
She was the star witness and Harlow
was a close second Harlow saw the
shooting. which he denied seeing.
He could have made il harder for the
Williams woman than he did. a
stenographic report of his account of
the affair, as taken down aDout TWEEN

NO WOOL BUYERS BUT PRICE SHOWS
WEAKNESS THROUGH PELT MARKET

While there were no wool buyers
in this region this week there were
distinct signs of further weakening
of the market. One such unfailing
sign is the price of pelts, which are
bought mostly for the wool on them.
and during the week they have suf-
fered two marked declines, Reno
quoting them at 22 cents, with more
than 3 cents freight TO pay. Salt
Lake quotes more but is exaeting on
dirt and dampness discounts from
weight.
In the Spring and Snake valley re-
gions further sales have been made
known, these occurring at wide in
teryals. L. Snyder and the Belland-
ers sold during the last activities of
the buyers, getting Al cents. II
turns out that James and Steve Dou-
tire sold at the first of the season
for As cents. Bert Robson and the
Yelland brothers are the only sheep

ELKS' LODGE TO Be
INSTITUTED IN ELY

After years Of effort an Elks'
lodge will be instituted in Ely, TO be
known as Ely lodge No 1859. II has
been granted by a dispensation of
Grand Exalted Ruler j. T.. Masters of
Charleroi. Pa. Word was received
yesterday by letter addressed to J.
NJ. Lockhart, an active member.
The next step will be an indorse-
ment OF Charles s Sprague. deputy
grand exalted ruler for Nevada.
which will be forthcoming soon.
In the meantime committee
meeting was held yesterday afternoon
and a call for a general assembling
of Elks of this district was author
lied for publication over the sigma
ture of Alfred Tamblyn, secretary.
The meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at the Willow Club, which
is the Ely home of the Elks. There
are thought TO be $50 members in
this district and the attendance of
most CT them is anticipated.
To effect the new organization It
will be necessary for members here
10 obtain their dimits FROM the lodges
TO which they belong. Most of them
are members of the Tonopah lodge,

BOSTON-ELY TO START DIAMOND
DRILLING FROM THIRD LEVEL

Diamond drilling is being eonsid-
cred and is likely to be started soon
by the management cf the Boston
and Ely Mining Company. The
White Pine News is authorized by
Consulting Engineer Raymond Guyer
and General Manager : Herbert Will
liams to make this statement.
Mr.. Guyer arrived from his home
at Spokane Wednesday evening and
left yesterday. going back by way of
Boise. Thurday afternoon he made
his first extensive inspection of the
property.
Il am here making an inspec-
tion of the Boston and Ely property"
he said that afternoon.
During the visit he spent most of
the time in consultation with Mr..
Williams regarding new development
at depth and he said 1t was probable
that a diamond drilling campaign
will be undertaken from No. level,
which is just about the water level.
He believes that zone of second
airy enrichment will be encountered
at the contact of the porphyry and
limestones.
IF the thickness of the limestones
can be ascertained by a drill hole"
he continued, lit can then he de-
termined whether it would be advis-
able to sink the present shaft or ex-
plore elsewhere in the porphyry
proper
A prospect shaft on the Los Ange-
les claim, over on the Smoky group,
is down about sixty feet in limonite.
showing traces of copper.
ut is questionable" says Mr. Guy
er, whether or not the company will
continue shipping ore from the
Mitchell tunnel under the present
price of copper"
The company has ever pursued a
policy of reticence and conservatism
regarding its plans and operations,
but when 1T makes statements they
are all the more significant.
Mr.. Guyer says mining activities
centering at Spokane are going along
as they have not been doing in years
The Occur d'Alenes are quite active
and there is a lot doing in British
Columbia. Some of the famous old
copper properties of Rossland are be-
ing reopened and the camp that was
so lively in the days of '95 is showing
symptoms of coming back

SECOND ARTES|AN WELL
IS GOING DOWN RAPIDLY

4 second artesian well is being
drilled east of Schellbourne pass by
II. L. Anderson and is down 365 feet
and attaining further depth rapidly.
The first well, which struck arte-
sian water last year, has been flow
ing steadily since, but il is on Mr..
Anderson's own land. This one is
on government land and by its be
ing so located he will be entitled to
a full section of land in addition To
his present holdings, under the Pitt
man land act. He has the choice of
four sections upon which to drill
and to select from for his grant.
1t is not thought possible that he
can miss the flow at the location of
the well. A previous drill hole.
which caved in and was lost, Is only
few feet away. This well is being
cased as 1t goes down. The flowing
well Is less than 800 yards from the
spot.
The we'll is being drilled at the
derrick. which has been standing for
more than year short distance
above the Anderson home In the
mouth OF the canyon.
The water from the first we'll is
lukewarm and Of high purity

men known in that distric. who have
not sold
Farther north it is thought that
neither ID. c. Gemmell, Gus Sellas nor
the Steptoe Livestock Company have
sold. The same is the belief with
regard to the J. c. Riordan and some
other clips in the White river coun-
try.
Jim Giannapolus, who bought the
Doutre clips, is reported to have
turned them for 46 cents.
Probably the best sale in this re-
gion Is that of Leo Winder, general
manager of the Murray Sheep Com
pasv, who secured SO 1-2 cents for
his company's wool and that of Doyle
and Jim Robson.
The price predicted for the next
purchases Is 80 to 40 cents
Shearing is reaching the close of
its season. The Yellands and Bert
Robson have finished and the shear
ers aAse starting in on the Dortre

trial was over. This was not under
oath but IL was plainly more worthy
of consideration than his story on
the witness stand. which appeared to
have been modified.
For several weeks after the trial
Harlow remained in this vicinity,
working a few days at time at Kim
berly. then coming to town and va
cationing for several days at 4
stretch, during which he was occa-
sionally less sober some days than
others.
He was crushed to death by cave
in in the Victor mine Tuesday His
partner, John Moss. was told by Har-
low to go for a stull while he picked
down some loose material. Moss
while climbing down a ladder no.
ticed that the raise was dark, and
calling to Harlow and getting no
answer he called for help. Harlow
was found under the rock uncon-
scious. He died in an ambulance on
the way to the hospital

SELF TRIAL SET FOR
MURDER OF MyRICK

Zackie Selfs trial for the murder
of Harry Myriek was set yesterday
by Judge McFadden for Monday,
June 2J. at 10 O'Clock. He will en-
ter a plea to the charge of second
degree murder tomorrow at o'clock
Self was arraigned in the district
court yesterday morning and the
charge read to him. George A
Whiteley appeared as his attorney.
II is surmised that a point to be
made in the defense is that Myrick
died as a result of having been re-
moved to California against the pro-
tests of two Ely surgeons having his
case in charge, and that therefore
the bullet wound probably would not
have caused his death had he re-
mained here.
Self shot Myrick in the abdomen
at Rhineys danre hall when he was
shooting at City Marshal George
Jaskson, whom he missed entirely,
although he fired five times.

CITIZENS initiate
PLANS FOR ARMORY
Stephan Heads Committee to
Draft Bill Providing One
for District.

Plans for putting the Commissioners
and the civic bodies OF the city be-
hind a movement for a new armory
or the District National Guard were
started last night, when representa-
tons met at the National Guard
-armory. 472 L street northwest.
Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan presided
and was elected permanent chairman.
capt. P. G. hewitt. assistant adjutant
general of the District National
Guard. was elected secretary.
Gen. Stephan was authorized to ap-
point legislative and a publicity
committee, and to have prepared the
tentative draft of a bill to be pre-
sented to Congress.
MAJ. Daniel Donovan, District
AUDITOR, who represents the Commits
sionerS on the committee said the
commissioners were solidly for an
armory here. Maj. Donovan said 1t
would not be wise to have provision
Ior such measure included in an
omnibus building bill, but it should
pe made distinctly a District measure
70 De paid for on the sixty-forty
Plan; He said that if the committee
decides what it wants. and then goes
% Congress solidly in favor of il, it
viii get what it Is after.
Gen. stephan conducted the com-
'llttee on d tour of the armory
showing the lack of facilities for
training and the uninviting quarters
lie said training young men as sol
diers is an uphill task under such
conditions. He pointed out the fire
risk anu added that the District was
prevented from getting a battery of
held artillery becau'e the War De-
partment said it did not have proper
housing for the equipment
Gen. Stephan, Maj Donovan and
others pointed out that it was a
sad commentary on the Capital City
rot TO have n memorial to it's sons
who went away in the wars of the
United States, when it was OBJ erved
tnat many small towns had erected
such memorials. 1t is proposed that
the new armory serve as such a
memorial and al y as a meeting place
