Death Of Former Eureian
________ %
The Park City, Utah, Record of Nov.
9 has the following acoount of the death
of Mrs. James Allen, who with her
husband conducted the Ottawa Hotel
near the Richmond furnaces in Eureka
during the early and prosperous days of
the camp:
Friday morning at her home on Wood
side Avenue, Mrs. Mary Allen was called
to her reward, after a long siege of ill
ness resulting from general debility.
The old lady was in her 70th year.
She was born in Ireland, but had lived
in America the greater portion of her
life. For the past 37 years she resided
in the Park, where she was beloved and
esteemed. Since the death of her hus
band, which ocourred six years ago,
James, her only son, has been her main
oomfort and support Home now will
indeed be barren to this faithful, dotifnl
son ; he will sadly miss the tenderness
and love of his aged and devoted mother,
yet what satisfaction, heartease and
consolation it is to the young man to
know that his loving aid, his manly de
votion, and solioitous care and attention
soothed and made happy his loved one’s
last hours on earth. Sympathy is ex
tended to this only survivor by his
many friends.
Election Booze Gances
Trouble it Belmont
The old town of Belmont, Nye Coun
ty, bu been enable to support a saloon
for some time, bat a candidate for of
fice at the recent election sent in a quan
tity of liquid refreshments, and when
the oitisens of the town began to drink,
after being on the water wagon for a
long time, the boose bad a disastrous ef
fect. Nearly the entire population en
gaged in a free-for-all fight, in which
reyolvers were used, but fortunately
none of the dosen shots fired found a
fatal spot, although one of the partici
pants bad part of bis eye brow shot
away and a chunk of flesh shot out of
his forehead. Some of tbose engaged
in the fight were severely braised and
one suffered a slight fracture of the
sknll from being beaten over the bead.
Visiting At Reno
Reno Journal, Nov. 8: Dr. and Mrs.
W. F. Barnett, formerly of Eureka,
Nevada, are guests at the Golden. Dr.
Barnett was county pbysioian for Eu
reka County for a number of years and
is well known in that section of the
State. j
5. P. OFFICIAL VISITS EUREKA
J. A. Gill of the Traffic Depart
ment Spends Several Days On
the Base Range
Eureka waa favored thie week with a
pleasant visit from John A. Gill, travel
ing agent of the traffic department of
the Sonthern Pacific Railway Company.
He came to meet the people and shipper*
of this section and was aooorded a hearty
greeting by all.
lir. Gill is known as the "Nevada
Booster” and endeavor* and soooeeds
in spreading optimism wherever he goes.
He says there is no dark side, it is only
imaginary. Life wonld not be worth
living if we didn’t have a few rough
edges to smooth at times.
When seen at the Brown Hotel by a
3entisel representative, Mr. Gill said
this was his first trip to this section and
the object was to get acquainted with
the people, conditions and sorroondings.
The Sonthern Pacific were interested in
this section, as they have served it for
S6 years via Palisade, the nearest junc
tion point on the 8. P.
When asked what was going to be
done about rates on ores from this sec
tion, which were effective before the
great flood of 1910, to Utah and west
ern points, handled on joint tbrongh
tariffs, Mr. Gill said he oonld not speak
Dffloially for the Eareka-Nevada Rail
way, but said the Southern Paciflo
would certainly join in any through
rates which were essential to move
traffic, ore or other commodities. It
waa his opinion that the management of
the Enreka-Nevada Railway were at
present considering favorably a modifi
cation or reduction in ore rates, and felt
sure there was no disposition on the
part of the railroads to do anything but
meet the requirements necessary to
aove the trafflo at reaaooable and Tair
ates. Railroad* are bat means of
ransportation and should do everything
possible to build up the oountry through
vhich they operate. Good feeling
ihould exist between the people served
md the company, and when there is
my oomplaint on aooount of rates or
tervice, a little get-together meeting
ihould bring desired harmony and re
mits. The advent of the narrow gauge
road again placiog Eureka interests
with the world by rail, seems a great
tooomplishment and I feel that it is
inly a matter of a short time until
everything will be rosy and pleasant.
You must give the company a little
time to get their roadbed in proper
shape. New motive power and equip
ment must be purchased before they
oan promise or go into the ore traffic
heavily. If there is any feeling existing
between the publio and the railway,
just have a day set aside for general
handshaking and an exohange of ideas
or needs.
Mr. Gill said that he was greatly im
pressed with Pine and Diamond Valleys
on his way up, and could see great open
ings for dairies, creameries and poultry
raising, whioh could be operated profit
ably.
He presented tift Skmtinkl with a set
of the latest booklets and illustrated lit
erature giving information and showing
scenes along and over the Southern Pa
cific’s lines throughout the oountry.
They are all handsomely printed and
contain a large amount of valoable in
formation for the traveler. In the list
are: "Where Gush the Geysers,” "Lou
isiana and Texas—Winter Resorts,”
“Paso Robles Hot Springs,” "California
For the Tourist,” “Monterey County,
California,” “Along the Washington
SuneetRente,” “One Hundred Golden
Hours At Sea,” “Hogg For Profit,”
“Agricultural Nevada,” and "Way
side Notes Along the Sunset
Route.” All these books were gotten
out under the supervision of Ohas.S.Fee,
Passenger Trafflo Manager, and show
that every oare and attention has been
paid in gathering and presenting the in
formation they contain. Any persoi
desiring to seoure a copy of any of tb<
above named booklets can do so by ap
plying to J. M. Fulton, Assistant Gen
eral Passenger Agent, at Reno, Nevada

EX-SENATOR JONES IS
IN PRECARIOUS HEALTH
Represented Nevada la Upper House
At Washington For Thirty Years
Former United States Senator John P.
Jonea of Nevada, who has reaided for
many year* in southern California, ie
in precarious health, according to re
ports from Loe Angeles, and owing to
his advanoed age, 88 years, hia illness is
the cause of worry to his friends. The
Senator has retired from politics and
aotiva business.
In the days when all the Paciflo coast
centered around the Comstock mines,
Jonea, aa manager of several of the big
properties and easily a millionaire, was
a leading man in tbe affrirs of Cali
fornia aa well aa of Nevada. Tbe San
Francisco newspapers nsed to send spec
ial correapondenta to report the pro
oeedings at Carton. Jonea, with bis
long Ohio beard, was a great source of
news, although tbe writers for their own
purposes, made him out to be a sphinx.
He was elected in 1873 for the first
time, in an exciting contest, and re
mained United States Senator until
nine years ago, when he was succeeded
by Francis O. Newlaods. His oolleague
for mnoh of that time was the late
United States Senator Stewart, and both
took a commanding part in the silver
movement in 1896 and 1900.
His home at Santa Monica was one
of the show places of southern Cali
fornia, bat he sold it six months ago
and removed to Los Angelea, where he
bought the old Banning mansion. He
haa added greatly to bit fortune through
the inorease of southern California real
estate values, as he invested heavily
there 36 years ago.

A San Francisco dispatch says repre
sentatives of the Western Pacific Rail

ment has been reached with the Ne

heal.
Greely French, who died in Virginia
City Monday, ran on the Democratic

a tie vote against his opponent. The
hand of nature settled the ballot dispute,
but as the vote was a tie no one was
elected for the oflSce and it will probably
be filled by appointment.

York brokerage bouse and a miner in
the West Knd, at Tonopah, sent a tele
