In the history of the world, no
rent payer ever drew a dividend from
such investement of his money.
If the world did not jostle plans
and specifications around every now
and then for its tenants, in bulk and
as individuals, it would be a sorry
place of residence. Variety is the
spice of life; sameness soon palls.
Ely district boosters the world
over can point with pride and the
*‘I told you so” to the results scored
by Nevada Con. And they are going
to have more of them to point to in
the district before many more months
slip by.
Mr. Halley’s comet continues in a
most retiring mood. According to all
advance tips, the naked eye should
now be able to discern the visitor of
mornings’ in the near neighborhood
of Venus, but as yet naked eye re
ports are lacking, and not much be
ing heard from the gentlemen with
glasses either.
I
Opening of the ball season Sunday'
augured well for a fine year of this
sport attended by good patronage.
The ball folks have taken advanced
ground for cleanliness, decency and
good playing and no support that '
may be given them will go amiss, j
They deserve the encouragement
which attendance at the first game
indicates public readiness to extend.
No man in the district will receive
so small a pay check on pay day of
this month that he will not be able
to acquire real estate or home in
terest in the camp by investment with
the Securities Co., of a small part of
that which he has earned in the last
month. Nor can any man in the
camp find a better avenue for dis
posal of a part of his earnings.
Score one for William Jennings
Bryan. Just before the Indiana
Democratic convention he took oc
casion to say in substance that if
Tom Taggart was endorsed for the j
senate, decent Democracy and hope
of success of the party would be given
a knock out blow. Mr. Bryan's
comment should deeply interest the
Nevada Democracy.
Taft found the country idle, its
machinery at a standstill and hun
dreds of thousands of its people hunt
ing work. The change that has since
come about tells best of all whether
his efforts in office have been suc
cessful. Results alone count and
alone should be considered, no mat
ter how much political trumpery may
be spread about to distract attention
from the real thing.
At last the Postal Telegraph is
building it line across Nevada. At
tendant on this construction is much
interest in the state by reason of the
promises held out in the past that
with building of the main wire line
branches would be run out to serve
a large new area in Nevada, this
latter including the important Kly
district. As we cannot get too much
connection with the outsidt^ world,
either by rail or wire, automobile
roads nor flying machine stations, it
is to be hoped that the Postal prom
ises will be made good.
Regulation of copper prices alone j
stands in the way of the greatest ^
era in the history of the world for i
the copper prospector, miner, stock
owner, and consumer. A price once j
established that the consumer can
rely upon, as he does today in the
case of steel, and the copper sur
plus will dwindle so rapidly that
there will be doubts heard as to j
whether such a surplus ever existed,
while the increased demand for the
metal in all forms known to the pro
ducer and the manufacturer will put
every mine and every smelter in the
land going three shifts the day, be
sides bringing in hundreds more
than there are today for entry to
long periods of profitable operation.

Action taken yesterday at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners verified a
story published in the News several
weeks ago to the effect that the fuids
of the county were practically ex
hausted, for yesterday the comnis
sioners found it necessary to paw a
resolution asking the State Boarc of
Revenue to authorize a loan of $20,-1
000.00 to be made by White Pine
county at a rate not exceeding 8 per
cent per annum on the amount ac
tually used. Payment of this loan
under the law will be made through
a special tax levy.
It is declared in the resolution hat i
"within the next 30 days ample finds
will be on hand by reason of the
payment of bullion tax, poll taxes
and other taxes, due said county, and
that any temporary loan ran be prop
erly met and paid," and that 'It is
necessary at the present time t# se
cure money from the banks doing
business in this county to meet cur
rent bills due aud pavable May 1,
1910.”
A statement of the condition of the
various county funds yesterday,
which was submitted to the eonmis
sioners by County Recorder and
Auditor William McKnight, follows: i

Respectfully submitted,
\VM. McKNIGHT,
County Auditor.
On account of the depleted treas
ury the payment of county salaries
for April was deferred. More d -pres
sing Is the fact that they do not know
exactly how soon they will be paid.
For certain, it will not be until the !
State Hoard of Revenue grants the
request of the commissioners or the
bullion, poll and other taxes are paid.
In addition to the salary accounts,
amounting to $2,525. The commis
sioners laid on the table claims
amounting to $2,979.55. Against the
various road funds, the commission
ers yesterday allowed claims amount
ing to $753. as follows: William
Matson, $417, road repairing and
bridge building Hamilton road; W.
J. Wallace, $235, road repairing and
bridge building Kgan Canyon road;
H. L. Carter, $60, work on White
River road; William Mulvlhill, $23,
work on Osceola road, and O. A. Mc
Donald, $18, work on Murry Can
yon road.
Mr. Matson was authorized to fur
ther repair Hamilton road to extent
of $150. County printing for the
next 4 months was awarded the Ely
Snort. Bids were ordered advertised
for the telephone line Hamilton to
Eureka, bought by the county for
delinquent taxes in 1808.
I IM) ST. PAUL HAS TITLE
TO 930,000,<MHI Ol-' TIMBER.
Ownership of Rich Trait Is
Ascertained—Origin a I t 'imt
Was #12,000,OOO.
ST. JOE, Idaho, May 2.—
Stockholders of the St. Paul are own
ers of property valued at $30,000,
000, a fact which heretofore has been
unsuspected. Several hundred thou
sand acres of rich timber land in this
vicinity and in Washington, along the
line of the Puget Sound extension,
which passed! out of the hands i f
local interests Just before the road
was built through, are found to be
ow-ned by the Milwaukee Land Co.,
which is a corporation whose stock Is
owned by the St. Paul.
The price paid for the timber prop
erties was $12,000,000. They could
be sold today for $30,000,000 t.nd j
their wealth is so rapidly increasing
that expert timber men here say they
will fetch $50,000,000 In a few years.
The lands w-ere bought before the
route of the Puget Sound road w-as
definitely known and therefore at a
price which represented their .voith
as remote from railway transporta
tion fai ilitles.
Hemlock, nr and Washiigton |dne
abound on the timber lands. There
Is a sawmill here, whim Is owned by
! the company. With fie exception of
the trees felled to dear the way for
the building of the road and a small
quantity cut for ties and rough tim
ber for the use of the road, the lands
are untouched.
At the office of the St. Paul in New
York no Information is obtainable
concerning th<- Mllw»uk" • Land Co.,
or its holdings. It Is the holding
i company for all the I tnd i owned by
the St. Paul, but outside of those In
by St. Paul, but outside of those In
Washington and Idaho these are not
extensive.
At $30,000,000 the reported pres
ent value of the lands, the transac
tion show a profit of 150 per cent,
or $15 a share on St. Paul's entire
outstanding comm m stock At $50,
000,000 the profit would bo 315 per
cent or $32 a share The Investment
shows a far greater profit than would
have accrued through the applica
tion of a similar amount to railroad
building. It Is assume I that the
company plans to hull the lands ful
some years.
The name of the Milwaukee* Land
( o., does not appear on ‘he St. Pam's
balance sheet, but the stock might be
included In the it.-in “stocks and
bonds owned $116 000,000." This

VV. F. Thorps, forest guard at Cur
rent Creek, here on official business,
last night confirmed report of a few
days ago of discovery of *mall seams
of native copper in a dolomite of
lime formation in the Pancake moun
tains, three miles west of Duckwater,
in Nye county, making the strike
about 73 miles southwest of here.
Mr. Thorpe states that knife-blade
seams of native copper have been
found over an area 5 mites square.
The discovery was made about 10
days ago by an Indian and since that
time a small-sized rush has occurred.
One prospector, Joe Togonl. former
ly of Goldfield, lias made at least 50
locations.
