Bank Of Maiden Rock
Robbed This Morning

The Bank of Maiden Rock, Frank
Carpenter president, was robbed early
this morning by auto bandits who
drove their car across the ice from
the Minnesota side near Lake City
about midnight.
Gaining entrance through a win
dow the bandits used an acetylena
torch on the vault, which they rified
of currency and Liberty bonds to al
amount estimated at between nine
and twelve thousand dollars. The
bank carried burglar insurance and
was not opened today except to. adj
justors from the insurance company.
Dist. Atty. X. S. White of this city
and Sheriff Ralson were summoned
and have gone to Maiden Rock today
to investigate the crime.
The theft was not discovered until
the bank opened this morning, when
Sheriff Robson of Ellsworth and Dist
Atty. X. S. White were notified.
Citizens report that they noted
car which came across the ice about
midnight last night, and others
recall having heard machine return
ing to the Minnesota side about two
o'clock The tracks show that the car
headed up-river toward Red Wing,
probably enroute to the Twin Cities.
The bandits left the acetylene torch
es at the bank when they made their
escape.

Elliott-Healy Store,
White Bear, Burns

The combined grocery store and
meat market, at White Bear, Mimi,
owned and operated since last DC
tcber by Messrs. Bion Elliott and
Manley Healy, both of River Falls,
was totally destroyed by fire about
four o'clock Sunday morning.
Defective wiring is supposed to
have caused the fire. The flames
had gained great Roadway before dis
covered, and Mr. and Mrs. Elliott and
two children and Mr.. and Mrs. Healy
and little son Harry, and Miss Burl
Stout, who occupied rooms over the
store, were forced to make hurried
escape. They were unable to save
any of their household effects, and
nothing was saved from the store be-
low
Although the Volunteer fire de-
partment responded quickly, the
flames had gained such Roadway that
the building was soon but a mass OF
charrad ruins.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000.
Mr., Feightner, who owned the
building, and Elliott & Healey, car
lied insurance that will partially COW
er the loss.
MFR. Feightner, it is said, plans to
rebuild. Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Healy
have not decided upon their plans as
yet, but they will probably not try
the venture there again.

CONTRACTOR, IS DEAD

G. w. Weller, formerly a contract
or of Ely and for several years in
charge of the mining operations of
J. L. Giroux at Kimberly, died this
week at Colfax. Cal, where he had
gone for his health, leaving this city

tractor than any other man in his
line in this part of the state. He was
noted for doing the highest class
work and his business methods and
personal integrity were above re-
proach. He erected the old Chain
mar mill and a great number of the
better buildings of the district

Weller was in charge of the ice plant
at the south end of hurry street.
His body has been removed to

BUTTER DECLINE BRIEF;
BACK TO OLD FIGURES

The decline in butter last week
was of brief duration, lasting but FIVE
days. 4 has advanced TO the same
figure from which it receded and Is
again retailing in Ely at So cents for
Salt Lake creamery and so cents for
Idaho. No explanation accompanied
the announcement coming from ship
pers on the outside.
Eggs are still weak and the mar
ket at the moment carries practically
only the Utah stock. These may be
had at 45 cents as a minimum, with
some of the more select ones being
held at so cents. Strictly fresh
Ely eggs still bring so cents.
This is believed to be about rs low
as they will go and Is near the min
imum average of previous years. Last
year the price for Utah stock went
to 35 cents for a day or two once or
twice, but it held around 45 cents
most OF the time. 1t may touch 40
cents in a short time but II will not
be long until the storing season will
start and this will take care of the
surplus from the entire intermoun-
tain region.

HARDWARE PRICES GO
Up AS IN WAR DAYS

So many things are advancing in
price. especially in every line of
hardware. that the history of The old
war days is being more than dis
! counted. TO start with, hardware
prices were already near war levels,
and these advances are threatening
to surpass their predecessors in the
dizzy heights that TREY are likely to
reach.
The rapidity of their coming keeps
local hardware men confused. In
that respect wal days w made
such a record.
Cincinnati is one of the hardware
centers of the country and trade
journals report most of the price ad-
vances from there. Nails advanced
% cents a keg. under q report dated
February l.. Horseshoes are up 50
cents a keg. Wrought iron pipe has
gone up IS to $50 a ton. the greater
advance being for the smaller sizes.
Common iron aud steel have adj
vanced 50 a ton. Yale & Towne
padlocks have raised 3 per cent
Wringers are higher by So a dozen.
Sargent's builders hardware is up
10 per cent. ~Stovepipe and elbows
are up about Is per cent. Among
ropes tie ropes for horses and cows
have raised 10 per cent; sisal rope

lines nave advanced 2 cents a pound.
Rubber hose has gone up l cent a

The entire camp of Eureka
more than thirty years age was
practically abandoned as worth
less. Today 1t is taking on new
life, and with the advance in the

and will continue to be for many

The people of Nevada are dom
onstrating that they can produce
from their rich valleys profitable
crops of cantaloupes, celery, caul-

will grow.

Southern Pacific
Company

The last few years have been
lean for our Nevada people en-
gagged In the livestock, agricul-
tural or mining business; but now
the winter is over, and having had
a bountiful fall of moisture, as
surfing ample water for irrigation,
our 1923 wool crop will bring a
price satisfactory to the growers.
Copper is bringing a price that is
causing that quality of ore to be
mined and worked on a large
scale. Lead is bringing a fair
price and will continue to advance
on account of the large amount of
building being carried on in the
United States, which will require
such vast quantities of that COM
modify to be used in manufactur-
ing paint, and in addition the au-
tomobile industry is using tens
OF thousands OF tons OF lead an
nually for battery purposes.
The large Buckley Wells plant
at Gold Hill. Nevada. Is working
at this time 1900 tons OF ore daily.
This r was passed by and left
in the mines forty years ago when
methods then In vogue would not

covered 1t has been made possible
