Nearly Every Office to he Cloaely
Contested
| Six new announcements appear in
this Issus. Hon. H. A. Cotnins who ou
ters the field as a Silver Party candid
ate for State Senator is too well known
to need any introduction.to the voters
of this county. Ho has * represented
I White Pine for several terms in the up*
per house of the Legislature, where he
lias been for a long time recognized as
one of the most able men in that body.
There Is no question about his ability
to continue to satisfactorily represent
us should he lie re-elected.
Benj. F. Payne, who aspires to the
office of Treasurer and Assessor, is a
well known citizen of the county, re
siding in Ely. For the term from 1892
I to 1894 he held the position of Sheriff
and Assessor and it is on the record
which he made in that office that he
again asks the suffrage of the people.
Messrs. Jos. Judd and Moses W. Har
rison, who have announced themselves
| as Silver Party candidates for ,,Ke
! - order and Auditor” and “Short Term
I Commissioner” respectively, are both
j residents of Lund, having come into
the State from Utah to assist in the
| colonization of White River valley.
1 Mr. Judd formerly resided at Manti,
! Utah, where he held the position of
j Sheriff of San Pete county. Mr. Hur
1 rison moved to White Pine from Wash
ington county, Utah, more than two
; years ago and for a year past has been
Justice of the Peace at Lund. Both
gentlemen are highly esteemed in the
community where they reside and pro
| pose to muke a thorough cauvassof the
county. —
Jan. H. Curtis is another Silver Party
candidate for Short Term Commission
er, making three candidates now in the
field for tliut office, with a probability
that there will In* one or two more from
Cherry Creek. Mr. Curtis has resided
in Ely for tin* past ten years and was
elected in lM9ii to the office of Consta
ble of this township. He is well known
throughout the county and has many
friends who will no doubt he in evidence
on election day.
The announcement of Chan. Hrun
ditz was handed to us just before going
to prc-*s. He is a well known young
man and would without doubt, make a
careful and efficient officer if elected.

HOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The Commissioners met in the after
noon as a Hoard of Equalization and
completed the adjustment of the tax

ovicli was raised $185 on a mortgage:
and Itobt. Crawford was reduced $100
on his freight outfit.

THE CHAINMAN SALE.
Negotiations Have Reached Suc
cessful Conclusion.
We are informed by one of tiie own*
! era of the Chain man mine that a num
ber of telegrams have passed back and
forth during the past week between
! themselves and the eastern parties who
have been holding an option on the
property, with the result that a final
i agreement lias been reached and noth
| ing now remains to be done but to trans
fer the cash and the deeds. The deal
can now be said to bo closed, and the
purchasers will without doubt enter
into formal possession of mine and mill
within a few days. Mr. F. G. Shop*
I herd is hare for that purpose and will
superintend the property under the
new management.
The terms of the final agreement have
not been made public, but we are at
liberty to say that they are highly sat
isfactory to all concerned and that the
sale is by far the most important that
has taken place in eastern Nevada in a
number of years.
Another Mine Bonded.

recently arrived here from Redding,
California, have secured a working
bond on the Ruth and Kearsarge claims

ground by a tunnel and they began op- j
erations last Monday.
