LOCAL AND PERSONAL NOTES
COUPLE WED
Robert Nye and Miss Ruth Neill
United In Early Mornin^- Could
Not Escape Friends.
Robert ('. Nye and Miss Ruth Neill,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Neill, were married at the borne of
the bride’s parents at t>:30 o’clock
yesterday morning, the service being
performed by the Rev. G. 0. Hunting
of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal
chn rch.
Both the bride and bridegroom are
among the most popular members of
the younger set. and because of this
popularity the Initial stages of their
wedding journey were beset liy un
usual difficulties, difficulties such as
are seldom encountered by those just
beginning wedded life.
Enderstanding that a reception
somewhat out of the ordinary had
been prepared for them by their
friends, and which was to have been
tendered at the Nevada Northern de
pot at the time of their departure,
the young people determined to steal
a march and with this thought in
mind secured a private conveyance
and drove to Ely City, where they
planned lo hoard the train unob
served.
The young men associates of the
bridegroom, however, were not to he
thwarted in their efforts to give them
a happy and noisy "send-off " and
when the time came for the depart
ure of the train, and they were not
in sight, the crowd hoarded the train
and rode to Ely City. There the
bridegroom was raptured and car
ried bodily to a nearby refreshment
parlor, where he was compelled to
do the customary honors The bride,
in the meantime, feared that the
train would leave without them, and
followed at a safe distance, finally
regaining her husband, and took
him hack to the train, under escort
of the other young men.
As the train pulled out the bride
and bridegroom were showered with
lire, slippers and old boots, as well
as with the good wishes of their
friends. Mr. and Mrs. Nye will visit
in Ogden for a short time, after
which they will return to Ely, and
will make their home here. They
will reside in Murry street.

Judge Brown Renders Opinion In;
Mining Case—Gives Ely Con
solidated Disputed Claims.
A decision has been handed down
by District Judge George S. Brown,
in llie suit of B. E. Mahoney and F.
D. Oldfield, against the Ely Consoli
dated Mining company, to quiet title
to two claims in Robinson mining
district.
The decision is a reversal of one
given by a jury before whom the case
was tried, and which gave a verdict
in favor of plaintiffs. The verdict
by the jury was a general one, and
in his decision. Judge Brown holds
that as the case was one in equity,
a general verdict could not properly
cover the points involved.
The claims involved in the contro
versy were the Midnight No. 1, and
Midnight No. 2, originally located as
the Poorman and Tiger. The original
location expired, and the property
was relocated by the defendants. The
testimony showed that the location
work was improperly done. The
same claims were located by the
plaintiffs, which location was held to
be illegal.
BULLION PURCHASES.
Mint at Carson Pays Only Cash for
liars—$12.1,000 Sent Out
Monthly.
"Are you running on a cash basis
here, governor?” was asked of Su
perintendent Colcord of the mint yes
terday, and in reply he said:
"I am just in receipt of a letter
from the southern part of the state
asking that identical question. We
are paying cash for bullion, and lots
of it. During the past month we
have sent $125,000 in coin, into the
southern country, together with a
large amount around this vicinity.
Heretofore we have bpen buying their
bullion and paying New York and
San Francisco exchange for it, but
now everything is cash. Nothing but
cash will do. We receive their bul
lion. and after ascertaining the value
of it we send a check to the San
Francisco sub treasury for coin to be
sent to the depositors. Til this way
we can make a saving to the deposi
tors in both time and money, as we
aim to handle their bullion in a day
or so. while in San Francisco, 1 am
told, that it takes from 15 to 20 days
to get returns on a shipment, owing
to the’ congestion of bullion being of
fered here. Then there is the sav
ing of $1,50 per thousand in the ex
press rate as between Carson and San
Francisco. On the large amount of
Bullion we handle this amounts to
a no inconsiderable sum.
“Notwithstanding the tightening
up of the output of the southern
mines, owing to the refusal of the
smelters to receive their ores, we are
receiving an unprecedented amount
of bullion. Our receipts last month
were within a thousand dollars of as
much as the receipts for the fiscal
year 1904 amounted to, and this
month we will be several thousand
dollars above October. My force is
inadequate to handle the amount of
bullion offered, and 1 have taken the
matter up with irector of me Mint
l.each, and am expecting his reply
daily. We nave been able, with my
force working overtime, to keep up
with our work, but with the amount
coming in and that which will come
in with the completion of the reduc
tion works now under way, we can
not handle it; but all that will be
carefully looked after by the proper
officials.”—Carson News.
RIG LUMBER MILLS CLOSE.
(Continued from page one.)
in te cities and towns and only sent
into the country in exchange cases,
the men had to be content with paper
money or give up their labor. They
decided to make the lumbering sea
son a little shorter and to spend a
longer time resting, consequently the
mills are closed for the winter. Not
only the money question, but the
weather, had a great deal to do with
the closing down of the mills.—Vir
ginia Enterprise.

Chinese physician of this city, is be

Tong, who has practiced medicine in
this city for a number of years, was

T1IE TELEPHONE
LISTENING HOARD
Canada was rccntly aroused by the
disclosure that privacy over the tele
phone is at (lie discretion of the tele
phone company, and it demands some
legal protection, such as that for let
ters and telegrams. The case arose
ill an election trial, one of the parties
having a record of a conversation
over the long-distance service. He
was thus enabled to refresh his mem
ory, and to testify to the disadvantage
of his opponent who enjoyed no such
advantages.
The mechanical possibility is fami
liar enough everywhere. It is the re
velation of the course of business
which is disquieting. The Canadian
companies, in the usual wray, make
distinction between business and fam
ily telephones, and for the purpose of
deciding which is which maintain a
system of espionage. The Canadian
journals are annoyed at this practice,
even in the proportions named, but
they are enraged by the belief that
it extends much further. They as
sert that provision is made for listen
ing at nny selected telephone, and
that conversations are frequently writ
ten out and reported to officials when
they have no justification in the busi
ness between the company and its
customer. They insist that the mat
ter should not be allowed to rest as

mailer of report, but the facts shall
be established in the public interest
by the testimony of the customers and
employes wno have had experience of
such cases of breach of confidence.
The remedy easiest to apply is one
in every one's power. Nobody should
say anything over a telephone which
he would not telegraph or write upon
a postal card. The application of
this remedy needs only the spread of
information that is necessary.
The Canadian telephone companies
plea that they maintain the listening
board as a business necessity is on a
'parallel with the hypothetical plea by
the Government that it has a right
lo search the mails. The experiment
has been tried in Anglo-Saxon coun
tries, but the experience does not
warrant repetition, even where the
alleged motive and necessity are ur
gent.
The only urgency alleged in the
case of the telephone Is one of busi
ness necessity, and it does not appear
why the telephone company should
not conduct, its business upon equity
with other business. A tradesman
who regulates his charges by system
atic eavesdropping would find a cor
rective applied speedily, and his ple«
of necessity met with scorn. The
customary use of cipher in Important
telegraphic business attests belief
that telegraphic secrecy Is not perfect
Indeed, there are few users of the
telegraph who have not had reason
to suppose that their exchanges are
read with discretion and care not
strictly incidental to the business of
transmission. Yet the telegraphic
secrecy is pretty well observed. The
Canadian case may serve to set a
precedent for neccessary legislation
which would promote freedom of use
of this modern necessity.—New York
Times.
