Avail yourself of the installment
plan of the Ely Securities Co. and
become a home owner.
If the S. P. gets Its trains through
Nevada without further trouble it
will have won congratulations.
Be a home builder of 1910, and
start at once. The earlier a good
game is entered upon the better for I
all.
This district in vastness of re
sources and amount of work accom
plished per day, leads all In the
state. Nor is there prospect of its
being overhauled. Its lead is a long
one.
The home builder in this district
helps not only himself hut every oth
er man and business interest in the
district as well. Every house built
broadens the credit and raises the
standing of the camp in the eyes of
the commercial and investing world.
State Engineer Nicholas, resigned
by request, says that he is out of of
fice because some of his friends had
the temerity to urge him as a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for governor, and not because of al
leged crookedness in office. It is a
Democratic family row, and the alle
gations of dirt on both sides sound
entirely natural.

Eight thousand tons of ore a day
down the ore line now looks to be
the figure fixed upon for the next sev
eral mcThtbs. With' the fifth unit
added to the concentrator, probably
running before the end of the year,
the daily tonnage will take another
jump upwards. Meantime 8,000 tons
per day is going some in production
and milling. It amounts to as much
as all the other mines in the state
are outputting in a week.
This is the age of publicity. The
merchant who dodges It is bound to
go down and out. The public de
mands it and the public will be heard
effectively in any issue of this sort.
It will not stand for the muzzle,
either upon it or upon the things in
which its pocket book is concerned.
It wants all the light there is going
and it will have it. It figures, and
correctly, that the publication of
prices is its due as a measure of pro
tection. Nothing else stands in the
way of extortion.
MINES AND MINING
RECEIVED FOR
ELY CENTENNIAL
The machinery outfit recently pur
chased in Salt Lake by the Ely Cen
tennial arrived in yesterday’s freight
train and workmen were busy un
loading it. The outfit includes a
compressor and drills, several en
gines and an electrical plant. It will
require about three days to finish
the work of unloading it from the
cars and delivering it on the ground
of the company.
The foundations for the machinery
have practically been completed and
no time will be lost in installing the
plant. With the aid of the new ma
chinery, operations on the Centennial
in the future will be materially fa
cilitated.
WON DEGREE AFTER 18 YEARS.
Toiling Student Makes Record
Almost Without Parallel.
CHICAGO, March 9.—Arthur New
comb, assistant superintendent of
buildings, has accomplished the task
of graduating in the Divinity School
after 18 years of terrific struggle.
Newcomb appeared at the university
in 1892 with an ambition to be a
preacher. He was then 20 years old.
His early education had been neglect
ed and he could not pass the exam
inations, but determined to "stick
around,” as he put it, and became a
man-of-all work.
Students became interested and
gave him books, tsught him and, aft
er many years, he passed the exam
inations. 'then came a ten-years’
struggle In the Divinity School. Dur
ing these years he worked and slaved
about the campas. Finally came
success and a degree. Newcomb’s
case is the only known parallel to
that of Abraham Rowers, his class
mate, who took the bachelor of phil
osophy degree three years ago, after
14 years of interrupted efforts.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.
"I think," he said, "I have at last
found the key to success.”
“Well,” his wife replied, “if you
are going to fumble around with it
as you generally do with your night
key there will be a long wait before
us yet.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

The following account of a recent
tragedy at Jarbidge is from the Twin
Falls News:
Art and John Shields, sons of Pro
bate Judge J. W. Shields, accom
panied by Garfield Pomeroy, started
Tuesday morning for Jarbidg# with
a sufficient equipment, provisions,
etc., instructed to recover tie re
mains of R. A. Dichut, who wis so
unfortunate as to fall over a cliff
while prospecting a week age last
Monday.
The searching party is sent out
by the Odd Fellows of Twin Falls,
deceased having been a member of
this secret society, in high standing,
and very highly regarded by every
one who knew him, inside and out of
the order.
A letter to Charles Lowe, one of
Twin Falls’ hay and grain merchants,
from George Bell, received Monday,
tells of the tragedy that befell Dichut
more correctly propably than any of
the preceding reports received in this
city.
The letter of Bell, It may be
explained, was erroneously describ
ed in letters received here last Satur
day as the victim of the occurrence,
gives considerable details, although
even Bell overlooks in his descrip
tion of the afTalr many material
points.
Bell said he was prospecting with
Dichut and that they were passing
over the riinrock above one of the
canyons that are characteristic feat
ures of the upper Bruneau and Jar
bidge rivers. The snow had drifted
until it overhung the rimrock for as
much as twenty feet, and this fact
was quite misunderstood—that is,
the extent to which the overhang had
reached. The point where the cas
ualty occurred, seemingly, was not
the crater of the volcano that other
reports have said formed the scene
of the terrible fatality. Bell's letter
a escribe* the drop which his part
ner experienced as having been about,
300 feet, rather than 1,500 feet,
which preceding reports declared
was the extent of his fall. Bell made
no reference to having first passed
over the rim rock, and apparently
this feature of the story of Dichut's
death must be accepted as It has been
brought here by letters from other
parties, until further evidence de
scribing the circumstances as they
may have happened can be procur
ed.
Bell said, in his letter, that recov
ery of the body of Dichut could be
accomplished only through entrance
to the abyss into which he fell by
a circuitous route of twenty miles,
when it would be possible to get Into
and out of the place without lower
ing of any of the rescuing party over
the cliffs or rlmrock. Expectations of
the rescuers were to follow Bell’s ad
vice in the work contemplated al
though it was believed by the three
men constituting the party that they
would secure better information
when they might reach Jarbidge.
An earlier report of the tragedy
was included in a letter from Geo.
Winkler to Ed Benane here, In part
reading as follows:
R. A. Dichut fell over the precipit
ous sides of a crater tn Jarbidge
district Monday, Feb. 21, and was
probably smothered in the snow
banks.
This unfortunate first victim of:
the strenuous Bearch for gold claims
in this newly discovered district had
neen prospecting about ten miles
southeast of the town.
At the point of the crater’s loca- |
tion snow is almost perpetual, the .
altitude being between 10,000 and
11,000 feet. Here the waters flowing
south through Elko county, Nev.,
land those flowing north through
Owyhee county, Ida., have their
source. Rims of the crater are cover
ed with malapai and below these mal
apal rocks are believed by most of
the mining men in the district to
rest in the granite yet richer gold
depositions than have been found In
the formation crossing the Jarbidge
gulch and beginning four miles north
of the crater. Snow had covered
•luite heavily all the territory imme
jdiately surrounding it last fall, be
fore even the earliest stampeders had
assembled at Jarbidge, and it has
Jbeen a matter of regret to members
|of the rapidly growing colony all win
ter that the ground surface of the
• rater vicinity was invisible to the
'eye.
Knowledge of this fact deterred
the majority of the crowds that are
flocking in from ascending Into this
territory until spring and therefore
none lait the most curious have ven
tured there, although all have Intend
ed to prospect It as soon as the
ground Is bare.
According to first reports receiv
ed here, with a companion, much
lighter in weight, Dlchut left camp
early in the morning, announcing he
and partner were going to the head
of the Jarbldge. They had extended
their Journey by late that afternoon
until the rim of the crater was reach
ed and were walking around it. The
lighter weight man was in the lead
and heard his companion suddenly
give a shout of fright. Then Dlchut
quickly disappeared into the abyss,
followed by part of the snow bank
upon which he had been treading.
The snow which overhung the Inside
of the rock, forming the pinnacle of
the almost bottomless pit’s sides,
would not support Dlchut’s weight.
His companion fired several shots as
soon as he had recovered from the
shock of realizing his awful predica
ment, in the expectation that if
Dichut were unharmed he would
likely answ'er with another shot, as
he possessed a revolver when he fell.
No response, however, was receiv
ed, neither were repeated shouts an
swered.
Concludihg that his associate was
helpless, if alive (personal ascension
from the crater’s depths being ex
ceeding tedious over circuitous sheep
paths only in summer time), Dlchut's
partner quickly made his way into
Jarbidge camp.
Sympathetic and humane volun
teers immediately responded to the
call for a searching party, and not
withstanding it was now the dead
hour of midnight twelve of the most
hardy men in the district at once
started for the crater. One of these,
in the early morning hours of Tues
day, was lashed to the end of a 200
foot rope—the longest available in
the district—and let down Inside the
crater. Landing on a protruding
rock, he shouted back to the party
that no sign of Dichut was visible
and that the next protruding area be
low that might be available for a
footing was at least four hundred feet
further down. Evidently, he ex
plained, Dichut had tumbled to the
bottom without striking any obstacle
to the descent, and was buried in
many feet of snow, which only the
melting days of midsummer may re
move sufficiently to expose the re
