A wild rumor gets quick credence
and eipansion on the strets of Ely.
For which reason too much care may
not be observed in the matter of put
ting things out straight in the be
ginning.
The district is looking fine. Home
people feel mighty good about it,
while abroad they are delighted with
the reports being made. And we are
going to keep it up without any halt.
It is a great camp, steadily growing
and a little better all the time.
There is no property in the dis
trict at the present time which is not
making good along such lines of de
velopment as may be underway. All
of which means a great deal to the
camp in future increased activity and
prosperity.
In common with the balance of the
district East Ely may have a little
wind occasionally, but nothing like
the cyclone reported from the office
of the Eseuse yesterday, when there
is said to have been a choice assort
ment of comets, meteors and stars
along with the breeze, which breezed
all day. Which reminds us that we
advised Somers to do this thing long
ago. They may be a little slow
sometimes about following News ad
vice, but generally wind up on the
right side.
GRAZING NOT UNLAWFUL.
The Supreme court of the United
States has just rendered a most im
portant decision with regard to the
grazing of sheep on the forest re
serve. A dispatch from Washington
carried in the Tribune yesterday,1
says that by an equally divided
court the Supreme Court of United
States confirmed a decision of the
Federal District Court of Southern
California which held the grazing of
sheep without permit on the forest
reserves to be not violative of law.
It appears that the forbidding of such 1
grazing is not a matter of law, but is
in fact only an order from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The suit arose by the resistance j
of two sheep raisers to the forest re
serve regulations; they insisted on
grazing therr sheep without permis
sion and without the payment of i
fees. Th^- were indicted on a charge
of grazin? sheep without permission
in the Sierra forest reserve The In
dict men' was brough under the act
of OctoVer 4, 1S>07, which act author
ized th» Secretary of the Interior and
afterwirds the Secretary of Agricul-'
ture, ‘,o make provisions for the pro
tection of the public lands in the for
est "eserve against destruction by
fire-s and depredations. This law
remained for seven years without
anyone having an idea that the graz
ing of sheep upon forest reserves was

AT
FLAT HOLDING
TO TOP FIGURES
COPPER FLAT, March IT.—The
, ore production has averaged 8,000
i tons per day since the first of the
month. Shovels and engines were
never in as good shape as at present.
A great improvement in the light
ing system is taking p'ace at the
Flat. Electric lamps have been in
stalled on all the waste dumps and
everywhere that the gasoline torches
were formerly used. The appear
ance at night is similar to that of a
large city and is very picturesque.

Mrs. Darnell won the ladles’ first

were served by Mrs. Rowe, and a

enjoyed by about twelve members of

was only a benefit to the work in the

in any way conducive to fire or de
struction on the forest reserves; but *
in 1907 it seems that the Secretary
of Agriculture held that such graz-!
ing was contrary to the law, unless
he gave permission and charged a
fee for the privilege. As a question
of law and of fact it seems impos
sible to see that this grazing upon
the forest reserve is less dangerou®
after permission has been granted,
and fee therefor paid, than if there
w-ere no such permission and no such
charge of fee. The order of the De
partment requiring permission, and
payment tor such grazing, was held
to be void in the U. S. District Court
for the Southern District of Califor
nia, because it did not appear that
the grazing of sheep upon the forest
reserve was inhibited by the law, and
because it involved an attempt to
confer legislative power upon an ex
ecutive officer to be exercised at some j
future time. From this decision an
appeal was taken to the Supreme j
Court of the United States, which
has now resulted in favor of the
sheep grazers, and against the as
sumption of the Department of Agri
culture of power not conferred by the
law.
This being a national question, of
course the ruling will apply every
where else as well as in California.
It is an important decision to all of|
the sheep-grazing interests in this
country, and we call the attention, j
especially, of the Utah sheep grazers
to this annulment of an assumed
power under which they have been
restive for a long time. Undoubted
ly, Mr. Pinchot and all of his back
ers will think this is a step back
ward; but it is not a step backward
at all; it is simply a decision by the
highest authority against a false
step taken without support of law,!
against the interests of the Inhab
itants of this region who have pe
culiar and Intimate relations with
the forest reserves, as affecting their
immediate business. It Is a wise
decision, one that it supported in
common sense as well as in law.— i

CHERRY CREEK
PLANT PROVING
L
On March 1 the General Engineer
ing company turned over to the Glas
gow and Western Exploration com
pany the new milling plant on the
property in Cherry Creek, and reports
from the scene of action are author
ity for tne conclusion that everything
is operating without a hitch. It is
said that an ideal gold and silver con
centrate is being made, the ore treat
ed averaging twenty ounces silver
and SI gold per ton. The mill is
treating seventy-five tons of ore a
day.
The plant is a combination mill,
the tailings from the tables being
cyanided. One interesting feature of
the plant is the Gritz cloth used on
the Callow screens instead of the old
time wire screens, and this mnova
tion is reported to be a success. The
Gritz cloth is made of silk and is
found to be especially durable. The
property supplying the food for the
mill is being opened by means of a
long tunnel, and a fine tonnage is
available.
CENSUS OF OCCUPATIONS.
Enumerator*' Question* Will Apply
to Everybody in the United State*.
WASHINGTON, Marrh 17.—
The “occupation" question In the
United S'ates census population
schedule to be carried by the enu
merators during the Thirteenth De
cennial Census, beginning April 15
next, applies to everybody living in
the United States on the date men
tioned, which is the “Census Day,"
and all the population schedule ques
tions relate to it only.
In its printed instructions to enu
merators the Census Bureau holds
that the* occupation followed by a
child or a woman is just as important
for census purposes, as the occupa
tion of a man. Therefore the enu
merators are tola never to take it for i
granted without inquiry that a wom
an or child old enough to work has
no gainful occupation.
It is pointed out, however, that
only gainful occupations are to be
reported. By this is meant any em
ployment. work, profession, or voca
tion by which the person working
regularly earns money or Its equiva
lent. The fact that a person has no
gainful occupation is to be noted on
the schedule. If a person Is only
temporarily unemployed on account
of lack of work, or sickness, or oth
er temporary reason, the occupation
which that person usually follows is
to be reported.
If a person has two occupations,
the enumerator must return only the
more important one—that is, the
one from which the person gets the
more money. If that can not be
learned, then he is to return the one
at which the person spends the more
time. As an illustration, the enu- j
merators are told to return a man as
a ‘farmer” if he gets most of his in
come from farming, although he may ;
also follow the occupation of a
clergyman or preacher; but they
must return him as a "clergyman” if
he gets more of his income from that
occupation.
In the case of a woman doing
housework in her own home, without
salary or wages, and having no other
employment, the entry is to be that
she has no occupation. But a wom
an working at housework for wages
should be returned as ''housekeeper,” j
"servant,” "cook,” or "chamber
maid,” as the case may be, and the j
entry should state the place where
she works, as "private family," ”ho
te',” or “boarding house.” Or if a
woman, in addition to doing house
work in her own home, regularly
•earns money by some other occupa
tion, whether pursued in her own
home or outside, that occupation
should be returned. For instance, a
woman who regularly takes in wash
ing should be reported as "laundress"
or "washerwoman."
A woman working regularly at out
door farm work, even though she
work on the home farm for her hus
band, son, or other relative and does
not receive money wages, should be
returned as a "farm laborer.” The
enumerators are to distinguish, how
ever, the women who work on the
home farm from those who work
away from home by writing either
"home farm” or “working out,” as
the case may require. A woman who,
herself, operates or runs a farm
should be reported as a "farmer,"
and not as a “farm laborer.”
If any child, of whatever age, is
regularly earning money, the employ
ment which he or she follows should
be returned as an occupation. This
applies also a child working for his
board away from home.
Children, or even adults, attending
school or college or any educational
iinstitution, and following no other
employment, should be returned as
having no occupation. But if any
person is attending school or college
and at the same time Is regularly
earning money at some gainful oc
cupation, the enumerators are to re
turn that occupation. In either case
they must Indicate the fact of school
or college attendance.
Children who work for their
parents at home merely on general
household work or at odd times on
other work are to be reported as hav-1
ing no occupation. But children who 1
materially assist their parents in the
performance of work other than
househo’d work should be reported
as having the occupation In which
they are so employed, even though
they receive no wages. In the case
of children who work for their own
parents on a farm, the fact Is to be •,
entered a “home farm.” But for'
children who work as farm laborers
for others the enumerator's entry is
to be "working out.”
The Census Bureau instructs th*‘ j
census takers that an employer is one j
who employs helpers, other than do- j
mestic servants, in transacting his
own busines. The term employer
does not include the superintendent, j
agent, manager, or other persons em
ployed to manage an establishment or
business: and it does not include the
foreman of a room, the boss of a
gang, or the coal miner w ho hires his
helper. All such should be returned
as employes, for, while any one of
these may employ persons, none of
them does so in transacting his own
business. Thus no individual work
ing for a corporation, either as an
officer or otherwise, should be re
turned as an employer.
A person employing domestic ser
vants in his own home, but not em
ploying any helpers in his business, j
is not to be considered as an employ-1
er. But, on the other hand, a per- ;
son who is the proprietor of a hotel
or boarding house and employs ser
vants in running that hotel or board
ing house, should be returned as an
emp'oyer because he employs these
servants in his business.
An employe is defined as any per
son who works for wages or a sal
ary and is subject to the control and
direction of an employer. The de-!
elding test is whether the person re
ceives a wage or salary and is sub
ject to anotbers directions. If so,
he is an employe, whether he be
president of a large corporation or
only a day laborer; whether he be
paid in money or in kind: and wheth
er he be employed by his own parent
or by another. The term employe
does not include lawyers, doctors and
others who render professional ser
vices for fees, and who, in their work,
are not subject to the control and
direction of those whom they serve.
It does include actors, professors,
and others who are engaged to ren
der professional services for wages
or salaries. A domestic servant
shou'd always be returned as an em
ploye, even though, as previously ex
plained, the person employing a do
mestic servant is not always returned
as an employer.
Persons who have a gainful^occu
pation and are neither employers nor
employes are considered to be work
ing on their own account. They are
