BASSET CANYON PROPERTY IS

POSE OF DEVELOPMENT.
A lease and bond on the Simtus
Olsen tungsten mines of Basset can
yon have been taken by a quartette
of Ely men, who will Immediately be
gin new development work 1 at will
be continued all winter. The men in
terested in the deal are: II. O. Hall,
Kd Wilson, Fred Strehlke and W. R.
Swlcegood. Mr. Strehlke wll' leave
in a few days for the property to
take charge of the work to be done
and expects to have four miners em
ployed during all the winter months.
These tungsten mines were discov
ered about three year ago and some
development work has been done
each year since that time. There are
twelve claims In the group, on which
six strong ledges have been found.
The largest ledge has been opened in
numerous places on the surface,
where H can be traced for the length
of three or four claims and the aver
age width of It is stated to be twelve
feet. Another ledge found Is five
feet wide and the next in Importance
lias a width of four feet. The other
three ledges are said to have an
average width of three feet. They
all show good ore in many places
near the Biirface and in some places
the ore Is very high grade and much
of It can be shipped without having
to be concentrated.
The llasset canyon, where the
mines are situated, Is in the Kern
mountains, in the northwestern part
of White Pine county and near the
Nevada-Utah line. There is sufficient
water available for the operation of
a mill with a capacity of treating
from 50 to 100 tons ef ore a day.

AGAINST THE IMPRISONMENT
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. After a conference with Secretary Bryan, President Wilson announced to
day from the White House that telegrams had been dispatched to John Liud, at Vera Cruz, and Charge
O'Shaughnessy, at Mexico City, instructing them to make representations to the Huerta government that
the United States will look with displeasure upon any Injury to the Mexican deputies who were arrested.
The expediency has been left to hind's discretion whether to return to Mexico City to impress these
views upon the authorities.
O'Shaughnessy was directed to address the minister of foreign relations and make plain that the
United States attaches the "gravest importance" to the arrest of the deputies, and is keenly interested
in what will be their fate.
President Wilson told callers today he did not see how a constitutional election could be had in
Mexico. He also made it plain that there was no present intention on the part of this government to
depart from the original position that the Mexicans settle their own affairs.

FOR SIX
WEEKS WITH ft
ELKO ASSEMBLYMAN LEARNS
THAT HE HAS GRAVE
INJURIES.
John J. Schoer, the veteran assem
blyman of Klko county, who was in
jured about six weeks ago at Deeth
when the roof of a house fell In upon
him, sustained a broken back along
with the various other bruises receiv
ed. Schoer was not aware that his
back had been broken until a few
days ago, wheu he viHited a surgeon
at Salt Lake City. During the past
month the legislator has been up and
about and recently spent several days
In Klko. At that time he complained
of pains in his back and chest, but
attributed them to torn muscles and
fractured ribs.
The Salt Lake surgeon who exam
ined Schoer discovered that the back
had been fractured, after X-ray pho
tographg had been taken. It was stat
ed that Schoer was one person in a
thousand to live after meeting with
an injury of that nature. In order to
improve Schoer will be forced to un
dergo another ordeal that of re
mainlng in bed for a period of sixty
days. He will be encased in a spe
daily constructed harness which is
intended to bring the fractured back
together. While In the harness Schoer
will be unable to move and will be
forced to remain in this condition
for two months. He is now at his
home in Clover Valley, preparing to
enter the harnesB and undergo the
ordeal. Klko Press.

BROKEN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. No one
attempts to disguise the view that
the developments of the last 24 hours
In Mexico City have precipitated
what probably is the most serious
situation since Huerta took office.
The greater part of the large body
of troops that have been maintained
In the capital city have been sent
north aguinst the rebels, and I hut)
Mexico City is left witli a compara
tively small garrison. The situation
Ib regarded here as warranting the
United States in maintaining a con
siderable naval force at Vera Cruz
and Tampico, where Rear Admiral
Fletcher has Bailors and marines
ready for eventualities in case a sit
uation should develop beyond the ca
pacity of the Mexican authorities.
Many officials regarded the devel
opments as bearing out predictions
that no election would be held Octo
ber 26.
The success of the constitutionalist
arms in the north by their capture
of Torreon, the gateway to central
Mexico, has also strengthened the be
lief of the administration here that a
fair election cannot be had and that
Mexico Is far from pacified.
Should no election be held October
26, there is a well defined belief
among administration officials that
foreign governments, which already
have recognized the Huerta regime,
may withdraw their recognition.
It Is considered possible here that
the Inability of the Huerta govern
ment to control the situation may
arise from the recall of John Llnd
from Vera Cruz, as marking the end
of the American government's treat
ment with the de facto government.

FISHGUARD, England, Oct. 13.
The Carmanla, the first vessel at the
scene of the disaster to the Volturno,
arrived here this afternoon. Captain
Barr met the newspaper correspond
ents with a positive refusal to say a
word until the Carmania reached
Liverpool and he delivered his report
to the Cunard company. He re
ferred them to the ship's bulletin for
an account of the tragedy. Most of
this is history. The fire appeared In
the original cargo hold, the bulletin
says. Six small boats were launched
from the Volturno. Two, with 35
persons each, got away, and the
others were smashed and the occu
pants perished.
The Carmanla's passengers shouted
cheering messages to those huddled
on the Volturno in the hope of sav
ing any who had abandoned hope,
when the sea suddenly moderated,
enabling boats of the fleet of res
cuers to take off the survivors.

ACTIVITY AT PALISADE SHOWN
TO BE WITH DEFINITE
END IN VIEW.
The activity of the Western Pa
cific railroad in the vicinity of Palis
ade, Nev., where a bridge Is being
built across the Humboldt river and
track extensions prepared for, bids
fair to be in anticipation of some
large transportation business in line
with the policy of the officials to pro
vide the line with feeders. The
George Wingfield interests are build
ing at Buckhorn a large milling
plant, and there is considerable busi
ness as a result of this, while that
entire section Bhould be aroused to
unusual activity as a result of the
Wingfield operations.
The Eureka Sentinel thought at
first, that the Western Pacific was de
pending upon the resumption of pro
duction at the Ruby Hill section,
nice the differences existing between
the producers and the railroad line
from Eureka to Paiisado were ad
justed, but in its last issue the Sen
tinel had the following to say, In
part:
"From an interview with J. E. Sex
ton, manager of the Eureka-Nevada
railway, who was in Eureka several
days last week, it is learned that the
prime inducement that has caused
the Western Pacific to build to a
connection with his road at this time
Is the securing of a heavy timber and
lumber tonnage from the Buckhorn
Mines company. The Western Pa
cific has a direct haul from the lum
ber camps in Plumas county, Cali
fornia, to Palisade, with a $2 less
freight rate than the Southern Pa
cific, and as the mining company at
Buckhorn will use a large amount of
-nining timbers, the Western Pacific
decided to build a connection into the
Palisade yards so that transfer to
the Eureka-Nevada could be made
and it could secure this business. Mr.
Sexton said that so far as he knew,
neither the railway nor mining com
pany had so far made any move to
ward showing how the proposed
rates on ore from Ruby Hill to Palis
ade, recently given out in an opinion
by the Nevada railroad commission,
had been received by them. He did
not seem Inclined to discuss what
action or conclusion the two com
panies would come to regarding their
decision In this matter, and the Sen
tinel failed to obtain any satisfactory
information bearing on a settlement
of the rate question."
