MISS CUPID QUITS;
LOCKHART AND
HCKSONHOLD ON.

Miss Fanny Cupid has handed in
her resignation as city clerk to
Mayor Alfred Tamblyn, thus break
ing the phalanx OF appointive city
officials who had agreed among
themselves to refuse to resign.
1t is understood that it was not
the desire of Miss Cupid to enter
this n~ever-resign bloc, but she was
urged by her closest friends, these
being of the late Gallagher munici.
pal regime. and many personal ones
to stay with it with he others and
see them through. On the contrary
she had said when the election re-
suit was known that she intended to
quit and wished to go to California
for a few months. She would have
resigned at the first council meet
ing after the election had she had
her W way about it.
Miss Cupid is still discharging
her duties, as her resignation can
not be acted upon until Tuesday
night, when the council meets. In
her place it is suspected that Mayor
Tamblyn will again nominate J.sD.
Wallace, whose nomination was re-
jected by the council at the last
meeting when the four nominees OF
the mayor were refused in a bunch.
The retiring clerk filled her posi-
ton for two years with conspicuous
ability and her dealings with the
public were of never failing cour-
tesy. Her life has been spent in
Ely.
This leaves but two Offices over
which there is a deadlock between
the mayor and council-the city
marshal and the city attorney.
which places r held by George w.
Jackson and J. M. Lockhart, re-
spectively. Developer ents in regard
to these are watched for at the
council meeting, as the mayor liz
on record in a formal public utter
ance that he demands their resig-
nations and will in the meantime
withhold his signature from their
salary warrants.

TWO MORE CARS OF
CHEvROLETS ON WAY

Two more carloads OF Chevrolet au
tomobiIes are on the way from the
factory for the Ely garage and In the
meantime orders for more than hall
OF them have been booked by John
Sundberg, Tom O'NeII's understudy
while the latter is away on a short
trip to Salt Lake.
These shipments were hardly ex-
pected by the management, as word
had come that they could not be had,
but the phenomenal demand for
C~hevrolets in the Ely district seems
to have influenced the factory people
to give them a better deal than the
average the country over, where the
demand Is of the same order, or else
it is because money talks.
These Chevrolets have Leen sold

have surplus weight. Upon removing
my shoes | discovered a large hole In

Fol a week today the Bellche1en
mill has been operating on ore from
the Bellehelen Merger mine, and ac-
cording to the Tonopah Times il is
grinding up and cyaniding eighty
tons daily. This is slightly better
than was anticipated, it having been
given out that the mills capacity
would be seventy-five tons.
The first cleanup will be June 10,
after which a bullion shipment will
be made and a celebration of the
event at Tonopah is being planned.
1t is eighteen years since the min
ing rushes from Tonopah and Cold
field to the Kawich camps began and
from then till now 1t has been de-
clared that all they needed was a mill
to eliminate the team and afterward
truck haul to Tonopah to make the
mines pay enormously. The ore gen
orally has been classed as of a mill
ing grade, but little has been found
that could be sorted p%roftably to a
shipping standard.
II this mill solves the problem for
one mine it is the accepted opinion
of mining mcn and prospectors IA
miliar with the showings of that ex-
tensive region that other mills, bet
ter located and suited to custom
work, will follow soon as a matter
of course and the whole Kawich
country, with a chain of camps X
tending from Clifford on the north to
Kawich on the south, a distance OF
more than fifty miles, will come into
early productivity. Without further
development a lot of the properties
have large amounts of tunnel work
done and ore out ready for hauling
and treatment. with the former at a
feasible distance.
Included in this list of camps are
Clifford, Bellehelen, Golden Arrow,
Silver Bow and Kawich. Across the
valley a few miles to the west is Ell
lcndale and a little to the east IS Ar
rowhead.
The situation of the mill Is such
that 1t would not appear to have been
planned to handle a great deal o.
custom ore. The owners of the mine
have been convinced that their orc
would keep it busy and therefore the
economical thing for them to do
would be TO locate the mill at the
mine. which is close to the summit of
the Kawich range and therefore a
heavy upgrade haul from other camps
as well as from most of the proper
ties of their camp. Visitors from Ely
recently were shown that the Mer-
gers tonnage would keep the mill
more than busy and little has been
said to give color to an assumption
of plans for custom work.
Bellebelen is forty-hve miles east
of Tonnpah and about 125 miles by
the present road west of Ely. Nat
urallv the main benefits of activities
there will fall to Tonopah, but Ely
cannot escape a large share of them.
especially in the day of automobiles.
when everyone goes and comes as he
may with his own conveyance.
The returns from the first few
weeks of the operation of this mill
will write the fate of Bellehelen and

Donkeys by No Means Stupid.

"As stupid as a donkey" Is an Oft
repeated remark. But farmers know
that to keep a donkey in the field he
must lock the gate. First the donkey
pushes the gate and then pulls 1t to-

not locked. But a horse does o know
n gate when he sees IL. Horses have
been known to run until they drop
dead when pursued by wild beasts.
When attacked, the donkey will thrust
his head and body in a dense under
growth and present only its heels to
the antagonist.

A Reminder of the War

VETERANS Of the 312th Machine
Gun Company, popularity known
as the Districts own since it was
composed almost entirely of Wash
ington boys. will easily recall Bayone
Whipple and Walter Huston, vaude-
willie entertainers.
Whipple and Huston entertained in
the main K OF C. building at Camp
Meade the evening before the 18th
Division entrained for the transport
TO take them over to the great ad-
venture" The 312th soldiers were
among the vast 'throng of khaki-clad
Americans who gave the camp en-
a happy audience even though the
majority of the gathering was to en-
bark next day to face the uncer-
tainties associated with "no-man's
land.
Just one week after the 18th had
.cefYed their notice to come to New
York and sail for France with unit
of the Overseas Theater League. II
was coincidence or fate that sched-
1lled them for an entertainment back
of the lines near Montfaucon, where
the 18th made its great defense
against the onslaught of the enemy
Two days before the great battle be-
gan the entertainers, including Whip
pie and Huston, gave a great show SIX
miles back of the lines. In the au-
dience were the same happy Wash
ington boys they had entertained AZ
Camp Meade but a few weeks before
Broadway vaudeville lovers could NOT
touch the enthusiasm of that audience
and the performers worked harder
fand with greater desire to please than
ever before in their careers.

This same production, augmented by
lately acquired specialties. has heading
its cast of funmakers Cliff Bragdon and
"Coocoo' Morrissey. two boys with

a list of fine speciality acts by Billy Wells
and the Eciair Twins. an Australian
dance act that was imported from the

nESPITE the history making side
- of "Abie's Irish Rose" it can be
said that this play represents what
lis probably the most complete and
comprehensive compendium of "ho-
KUN" ever compiled in the American
tkeater.
The word "hokum'' is used to in
dicate that type of line. situation or
=. tEreatrical episode which, by long
experience. is known to be infallibie
in its ability to create a precise emo
tional effect on an audience. The
most classic of all "hokum'' lines is
the one in which the hero used TO
stride to the footlights, and, con-
strikes a woman is both Il cad and a
coward This phrase. in its heyday,
was never known to fail to bring
down the house. and while it is Eow
shopworn to the point of burlesque.
II serves to illustrate the sure-fire
psychological factors that the thea
ter knows as "hokum."
The really remarkable side OF
"Abie's Irish Rose" is its ability :"
deliver just such a line or situation
almost every minute OF its two-and-
half hours Of action. and to keep
it's audience at a distinct emotional
tempo throughout the entire per
formance. In short. the play. as a
diligence that actuated Miss Nichols
search for lines and situations-a
diligence that makes "Abie's Irish
Rose" literal text book on "hokum
that ought to come in handy for
many a long day to playwrightS OF
