business and has made many friends.
He expects to return in the Spring with
new stock of dry goods and clothing.
Ely is not one mine camp. Six mines
besides the Chairman have had a pay
day this month. These are the Robust,
Phoenix, Golden Revenue, Maggie,
Southern Cross and Ninety six. All
are very promising properties and the
owners have expended considerable
more than the assessment work upon
them this year. This keeps the money
in circulation and makes the merchants
smile.
Martin Smell and viii Watson left
for the Wells last Wednesday. The
former is going to California and the
latter to Eureka, Utah. Although
Will kept pretty quiet before he left, a
little bird has whispered to us that be-
fore his return he will have renounced
the tate of single blessedness. We
hope it is true, Will, and our only wish
is that you may find married life. and
the care and love of it, quite able to
satisfy all your desires.
w. V. Lockwood, who has been here
for the past six months experimenting
the installation of the electric plant of
tthe Chairman Mining Company, left
this morning for his home in California.
During his stay here he has made a
host of friends by his gentlemanly and
genial ways and all regret to see him
leave. In conversation with us, he ex-
pressed great confidence in the future
of Ely and said that the people here do
not realize what a camp we will have
here in couple of years. We hope his
prophecy will be fulfilled.
Sol Hip received the returns this
week from sample of ore from the
General Logan claim, which he sent to
The Eureka Sampling Works to be as
sayed. 1t went 80 OF. in silver and S3 25
in gold to the ton. This claim is at the
extreme east end of the Robinson min
eral belt on the south side of the canyon
and is the property of Messrs. Hip,
House and others. A considerable
work has been done on the claim, a
shaft having been sunk 30 feet and a
tunnel has been run in 60 feet below
The shaft. The above sample was taken
from new shaft which is now down
ten feet. To all appearances the ledge
is fifty feet wide.
Capt. Harmon was found by the Eu-
reka stage last Thursday morning about
O. clock, lying in the road some 15
miles above Ely-not far from the sum-
nit. He was in a semi-unconscious
condition, having been numbed by the
cold and his feet are reported to be
badly frozen. Capt. took on little too
big load in town last Tuesday and
started for his home in the evening.
He stopped at the Gem saloon in Lane
City for short time and that was the

picked up by the stage about 30 hours
later. 1t was only by the luckiest
chance that he did not perish before he
was found.
Some time ago it was announced in
the NEWS that Jas. p. McOmie had re-
ceived the appointment as Postmaster
of the Ely Post-office. As Mr.. McOmie
is unable to give his personal attention
to the business of the Office, he has ar
ranged with Mr.. Graham to act as De-
putty Postmaster and the Office will be
located at his store. He began grad
ing yesterday for an addition of about
10 20 feet on the east side of his pres
ent building, which will afford conve-
nient and commodious quarters and as
Mr.. Graham has had the Office before,
and is thoroughly acquainted with all
its requirements, we may expect an eff
ficient service. Mr.. Hip will continue
in charge until the new office is ready.
