For fifty years. in bright days and

McGill, of whom it %truthfully may
be said that when the outlook for
the future was darkest his confidence
never wavered and his cheerful OPP
timism was the mainstay of many OF
the faint-hearted who wore ready to

Mr.. McGill and myself first became
acquainted at Mineral City. now Ely.
in 1874, when he was Il mere youth
engaged with Bateman & Monroe in
surveying what is 10Y White Pine

of his death we were fast friends

RUMOR OF SAFE
BLOWING At KIMBERLY

This was once that a rumor got
beyond control, but when 1t was run
down it was still a rumor, and there
it had to end.
Word came to the sheriff's Office
yesterday morning through a tele-
phone message that the big safe OF
the Consolidated C~oppermines Corpo-
ration at Kimberly had been blown
open the night before, but further
particulars were not given. Sheriff
Nicholson fastened to the scene at
once and when he arrived at the top
of the hill the company's men were
at a loss to know what he wanted of
them, not having been let In on the
report. Mr.. Nicholson asked them
IL they had not sent for him on ac-
count of their safe having been veg
gcd. but they said they never had
heard of 1t before. There stood the
safe as mute but eloquent evidence of
its innocence in the affair. 1t had
not been harmed In the slightest and
had been touched by no vandal hands.
No attempt whatever had been made
to destroy it.
Then the sheriff concluded that IL
might have been a mistake as to the
place-that 1t might be a safe at
Ruth. He drove to that town and
inquired. He met Morris Roberts,
his Ruth deputy, who had not heard
of it, and together they made the in
quiry.
No foundation for the story was
discovered, SC the investigation was
dropped. The question remaining
unsolved is as to the source of tht.

have been in doubt when 1t YVES re-
ceived.

proved a severe blow 20 all business
interests.
At this time Mr.. McGill, knowing
my circumstances. came to me with
an offer to haul lumber and building
materials from the railroad to his
new home and ranch buildings, now
McGill. This was the starting Of our
business relations, which continued
for eighteen years. until / left the
county In 1904. This hauling con-
tract, Ii may be incidentally nen-
toned, was only one case where Mr..
McGill went out of his way TO find
work for men wnep he knew they
needed 1T badly.
In 1887 the Elko and White Pine
Transportation Company was organ
lied. with A. c. Cleveland as presi-
dent, Mr.. McGill as secretary and j.
b. Williamson as treasurer. These
three. who constituted the board of
directors, named me as general man
