CEDAR SUMMIT ROAD
WASHED OUT BY RAINS

The county road across Cedar sum-
nit from tho Lincoln highway at Tip
petit to the Utah line in Pleasant val
ley, from whence it continues east
erly to the north and south Snake
valley road, has suffered recent dam
age bv the heavy rains that have visi-
ted that region. The worst of the
damage is on the west side of the
pass near the mouth of the canyon
where the road beside the wash was
carried away and made a part of
the rayine for a short distance
Ranchers who are compelled to use
this road have made SOME slight
repairs so that autos can get oyer it.
but these are only temporary and the
next food will make it far worse.
Further UP toward the summit the
flnols have washed a ditch down
about three feet for quite a distance,
this being close to the left track gu
ing up and making night driving
there %perilous.
East of tire summit the road is in
the same condition that it was left
by The spring storms, county repairs
not having been made there this
| year 1t is rough but p%assable.

SKILLED IN "HiGH FINANCE"

A neighbor Of mine dropped In at

st. Louis banker friend who met In a
self-serve restaurant one Of his own
employees. AS the banker and his
clerk sat munching their simple ra-
tons, the employee happened to look
at his watch.
Handsome watch, that" remarked
the banker.

watch. Funny thing about that, too
and he went on to tell how he hap

ISOLDE WAGNER'S DAUGHTER
German Courts Settle Dispute as to
Legitimacy Of Offspring of Fa.
nous Musician.

Frau Isolde Biedler, the eldest
daughter of Richard Wagner, was
born fifty-six years ago, although her
mother, Cosima, was legally the wife
of Hans VonBuelow, the composer and
pianist. In the period preceding
Isolde's birth, Cosima, Wagner and
Buelow lived together, but Wagner al
ways regarded 1solds as his daughter,
and named her after the favorite Of
his opera characters. Isolde became
the wife of Johann Biedler, a we'll
known German orchestra leader. Sew
eral years ago she defended her IL
legitimacy in court, when her sister
Eva sought to deprive her Of any
share in the Wagner estate on the
ground that Isolde was the daughter
of Buelow, not of Wagner. Eva is the
wife of Houston Stewart Chamberlain,
an English author, who is a natural
lied citizen of Germany, and who, dur
ing the late war. received the Iron
cross from the ex-kaiser as a reward
for his bitter attacks ON England, pub
lished In the German magazines.
Frau Cosima testified to her belief
that Buelow was the father Of Isolde,
but the courts decided that ISOLDE Is
Wagner's daughter.

Wood Duck Hunting Prohibited.

Wood ducks may not be hunted in
Minnesota or in any other state Mt
any season. according to the bielogf-
cal survey, United States Department
Of Agriculture, which administers the
migratory-bird treaty act. This Is a
federal law under which the hunting,
killing, or possessing of wood ducks Is
prohibited at all times throughout the
United States and by treaty through
u Canada also. This game law, hav-
ing been upheld by the United States
Supreme court, makes imperative the
amendment to the game laws Of Min
nesota passed at the last session OF
the state legislature, providing an
open season on wood ducks. Thus,
hunters will not be allowed to ex-
ercise the privilege accorded them by
the state law, and persons found
hunting, killing, or possessing wood
ducks at any time will be subject to
prosecution In the Federal courts.

GOLD HILL NINE IS
WORKING BIG FORCE

Colo Hill, Utah, is not the dead
mining camp that it was a few
months ago. Tho Gold Hill arsenic
mihe has started up after a long
shutdown and is working between
fifty and sixty men. 1t is said to
be employing every new man who
comes 10 town and applies for work.
When it gets more men it will in
crease its operations beyond it's
present limits and the management
expects oon to have as large a force
there as it ever had.
The ore is being shipped in bulk
to a mill in West Jordan, Utah. There
it is reduced to concentrates and
these in turn are treated in a special
ly adapted smeltor, whereby a prof.
table return in arsenic, with some
gold and other minerals is extracted.
For some two years or more the
Gold Hill mine management vas at
work on processes of treatment for
its ore. Experiments are under
stood to have been made at Chicago
and elsewhere in the east. It was
planned at n time to ship the ore
east to where the Manhattan-White
Caps ore had been smelted, but the
cost of freight caused the abandon
ment of that plan.
Another plan was to erect a smell
ter at Wendover, which was not
found feasible fer various reasons
that are perfectly plain when given a
second thought. Wendovor lacks
very facility in the form of fuel,
water OF any of the bounties Of ma
ture to carry on in a desert. AS a
desert it is the nearest to being abso-
lutte that there is in America, though
some sheep r grazed in the Pilot
Peak country a few miles north
Gold Hill has several partially de-
veloped mines and a great many pres
poets besides it's arsenic property.
Its. mining future is one of much
promise.
Gold Hill promises to be the great
est source of arsenic in the United
States for some time to come. Recent
shallow prospecting at Gold Hill has
opened a solid mass OF arsenopyrite
ore twenty feet thick but has no,
reached thu country rock.

GREAT OIL GUSHERs
COME IN REGULARLY

Great gushers OF from seven t.
eight thousand barrels daily output
are being struck with regularity a.
Santa Fe Springs and Signal Hill. One
of 1000 barrels was struck two
weeks ago at Santa Fe Springs and
one of 300e barrels a few days be-
fore at Signal Hill
These facts we're furnished TO the
White Pine News by NJ. Smithson, a
former resident of Ely, who is back
here on a visit with relatives after
an absence at Los Angeles of twelve
years.
Leland Smithson, who is here with
his brother, saw one of the gushers
come in and describes 1t as a great
sight, to be remembered always. The
gusher burst into the air for a height
of 100 feet and with a wind that was
blowing off the ocean the oil in the
air was carried for half a mile. 1t
drenched the country for some hun
dreds of yards and was not under con-
troll when the Smithsons left.
The excitement at the moment was
intense, the people dancing about to
the tune of the gusher as some of
them had not done in forty years.
The speculative excitement going
with these discoveries, the buying
and selling of stocks in an eypectant
discovery and Immediately after one
is made, is more OF a phenomenon
than that during the palmy days OF
the Goldfeld Consolidated mining
boom, when on account of the
throngs the stock exchange sessions
had to be held in the street.
The greatest oil centers are those
named, but new fields are being
drilled OF all sides. One of these is
at Redondo Beach, where a discov-
cry , threatened at any time. The
Smithsons say that the impression
there is that Huntington Beach will
not last as long as the larger fields,
but while its production is smaller
comparatively, 1t is a monster as
compared with some other parts of
the country that are widely known
by their great production.
Milt Smithson is on the police
fierce in Los Angeles, which has been
his employment for most of the
twelve years since he left Ely. He
says he anne back TO Ely merely to
see what the old place looked like,
and while he always liked Ely the
lure of the Los Angeles boom and oil
excitement are such that he cannot
stay away

Celebrated Belgian Fowls.

The village of Bracket, in Belgium,
enjoys the fame of having originated
one of the most celebrated races Of
domestic fowls. The Belgians do not
hesitate to assert that the Bracket
hens are %unequaled for the excellence
and number OF their eggs, while the
roosters have developed, thanks to
generations Of cultivation and influ-
ence Of Growing tournaments" a
power and rhythm of voice equal
ly u%nrivaled. The breeders have>a
theory that the musical contests in
which the Bracket roosters are trained
serve to develop the peculiar quail
ties of the race. However this may
be, 1t is certain that cultivation has
differentiated these fowls from all
others.

WATER SUITS GROW
MORE COMPLICATED

The water jangle Involving Gran
lite and Red Cedar creeks between
Callao and Trout Creek, Utah, has
proceeded to further complications
since the last previous reports from
there. The suit of Sam Falkenburg
against Ne.f brothers was decided in
the Juab county court at Nephi in
favor of Falkenburg, granting him
the prior right to Rcd Cedar, but on
the ether hand a second suit Of his
for damages for the Neffs having de-
stroyed his dam, was decided by a
jury in favor of Neffs. F~alkenburg
sued for large damages for the dams
destruction. but the jury gave a
judgment of SEQ in favor of Neffs.
The former suit has been appealed
TO the Utah supreme court by the
Neff brothers, they not having given
mp their claim to the water from Rcd
Cedar.
Meanwhile Faikenburg, who ha2
been living on a mining group at the
mouth of Granite canyon, where he
formerly operated the property, has
removed to an old place known as
the Indian ranch below the REQ
Cedar canyon, where he plans to oper
and irrigate a ranch with the water
in dispute.
The Neffs have the Granite ranch
some five miles east of there, where
they put in a pipe line for a par
of the distance and had expended
more than 500 900 in this enterpris,

Chancellor OF the Exchequer Ne
Vile Chamberlain, addressing another
meeting after Premier Baldwin S

question.
