The Ely district is in high stand
ing everywhere. It is looked to for
big results In 1910, and it will de
liver the goods.
Great holiday trade all over the
country is the report from every di
rection. It is a convincing man
ner of demonstration that, good times
are with us.
The railroad presidents appear to
have learned yesterday that the
president of the country has a mind
of his own and is out to use it in his
own way. Which is what the peo
ple expect him to do.
The weather bureau tumbled to
the fact at Washington yesterday
that there was a great blizzard mov
ing from the northwest. We could
have told them all about that Sat
urday night. And she was sure a
bird. The east has a heap coming.
In the south they were having
some rain while we were wearing our
blankets. Railroad tracks down
there are gone and traffic at a stand
still. The cold has its disagreeable
features, but in comparison with
results attendant on warm winter
rains Boreas seems the preferable
companion.
Big gains were made by the camp
in 1909. Those of tuls year will
dwarf past records. Be with the
winners, which is possible only by
the wise investment of the money
you earn. Get Into good real estate,
your own home, a well advised com
mercial investment or a sanely se
lected mining stock. Kither of
these lines will return large profits
during the year.

New York's New Mayor Sides With
the Tammany Boss—Makes
Appointments.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Mayor Gay
not gave out today his list of ap
pointments bo far as he was able to
snake them and said that his rela
tions with Charles Murphy, of Tam
many Hall, had no Influence.
When asked if the political lead
ers had been consulted in making
appointments he said: “I feel that
there is one great act of justice that
I must do. I was nominated with
out even a suggestion being made as
to what I should do as mayor. Since
election Charles F. Murphy has call
ed on me three time, each time ask
ing me to appoint the best men to
he found. His suggestions were few;
he urged nothing and kept saying
to me that the responsibility was
solely with me.
“I fear there are a good many peo
ple In this town, who do not know
Charles F. Murphy. Some of them
seem to think he has horns and
hoofs. I can only say of him that
he has acted clean politically with
me. I would advise some good wom
en and clergymen who are writing
to me about Charles F. Murphy and
what they call the white slave traf
fic to go up and see him and say a
kind word to him. They may be sur
prised.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness,
is also one of the commandments.
There are more vices than one.”
The mayor in naming his ap
pointees appends also a brief person
al and political biography of each.
These comments, some of them wag
gish, some naive, It was later an
nounced, were not to be printed as
the mayor’s own, Among the ap
pointments are:

CLUB SUIT FILED
District Attorney C. R. Reeves,
acting for the county, yesterday
filed with the clerk of the District
court an action against the Univer
eity Club, to recover the sunt of
*347.50, alleged to be due as retail
liquor license, together with costs of
the suit. The complaint alleges that
the club has failed to pay to the
county license collector a. retail
liquor license from May 26, 190 <, |
and that it is at present selling
liquors at retail without a license.
The action is to determine whether
or not the club is required to take
out a liquor license, the same as sa
loons. The contention of the attorney
is that inasmuch as the club does a
saloon business to all intent and pur
pose, it should pay saloon license.

GOLDKX’S SIIJK OF IT.
Makes Statement Regarding Alleged
Attempt on **is Life at
Tonopah R«*eently.
Frank Golden, wuo recently re
ceived some unpleasie" notoriety be
cause of an alleged gun play at Tono
pah, has returned from the south.
He said to a Reno Gazette interview
er, when asked as to the facts in the
case:
Robert Gilbert, whom the special
dispatch from Tonopah alleged to j
have tried to take a shot at me, was
formerly treasurer of Nye county
but was deposed He came into the
Tonopah Liquor company's store
where I was, and said he wanted me
to pay his boy the money that the
latter bad deposited in the Nye and
Ormsby County bank. To the best
of my recollection the boy had about
$30 in the bank, while Mr. Gilbert
owed the bank iD lue neighborhood!
of $2,0000.
“Gibert made a motion toward his,
hip pockt and Gave Holland relived'
him of his gnn. 1 didn't see any gun j
“Afterwards Gilbert came up to1
the Brokers’ Kxehange to see me, I
said I did not want to talk to him at.
all. In the altercation which en- j
tied I struck a blow and he retreated,
to back of the bar.
"During the time 1 was in Tono
pah I never had an officer with me. i
In fact I never had a body guard in !
my life.
"The principal reason for this
newspaper notoriety is a lible suit
brought by me against W. W. Booth,
wflieh is now pending in the Nye j
county court.
"A short time ago Mr. Gilbert
wrote me a letter asking me to loan
him $500, as he was short that
amount in his poll tax settlement. I
did not give it to him.”

‘‘The Man Who Owns Broadway,”
while on the next corner another

“Israel.”
