A SPECIAL ELECTION.

At the meeting held at Hips Hall
last Thursday evening to further con
slider the adyisa bility Of erecting a new
school building in Ely only one senti-
ment was expressed, and that was
that no time should be lost in com
mencing work on the new structure,
and that no matter what obstacles
might stand in the way Ely must and
shall have a school house TO meet
present req equirements before the open
ing OF the next school year.
The fact was recognized, however,
that IL would not be advisable TO ask
the people to tax themselves to the
full amount required TO raise all the
money necessary to complete the
building In one assessment, and the
proposition to be submitted at the
election is To levy tax of sl.00 on the
800 valuation this year BY this
means between $500 and 800 will be
raised, and TO this several citizens
have volunteered to add their private
subscriptions in respectable amounts.
Whatever the balance may be will be
borrowed, and another special tax
voted next year to pay off the lndebt-
edness, II IL is found necessary.
The election win be held on Monday,
May -, between the hours OF , and q
o'clock p. M, and it should be under
stood that the proposition is to raise
300, which will necessitate the leyying
Of special tax Of 81 on the sl00 yalua-
ton, thus making the total tax for
State, county and school purposes,
sI.6j on the 800 in Ely school district.
The proposed new building is to be
2ixs0 feet with hall running through
IL, and will be so constructed that an
addition may be built to it when
required. II will cost, as near as can
be ascertained at the present time,
sl,500.

day Via Eureka.
improvements Nearly Completed
and Mill Will Resume Opera
tions This Week

On Sunday, April %. the first ship
ment of cyanides was made from the
plant of the Ely Mining and Milling
Company at this place to Salt Lake
City, being the product of the 300 tons
of ore thus far handled at the new mill
While the yield was entirely satis-
factory to the management, the i'm
provements now being made to the
plant will result in the obtaining of
greater values from the ores handled
in the future. The new machinery is
now in position, and everything is in
readiness with the exception of the ele-
vator, the belt for which has not yet
arrived, although it was shipped from
Salt Lake with the consignment which
reached here ten days ago. However,
il it does not come today arrangements
have been made to secure the necessary
articles from the Chairman, the belt
ing for whose new mill is already on
the ground.
1t is now the intention to have the
mill in operation again by the last of
this week, after which time it will
yield its full capacity.
The electric lights were turned on
at the mill for the first time last Satur-
day evening, and after a slight inter
ruption, are giving good satisfaction.

the silver from 30 to 344 ounces.
Work in the tunnel has been resumed
with an increased force, and E. A.
Cripps, who has charge of the work
will have two shifts on next week.
The tunnel is now in 152 feet and will

rapidly as possible.
About the middle OF the month
another force Of men will be put on to
more thoroughly prospect the copper
deposits which have been uncovered
in another portion of the properties,
and which show rich values, and
everything goes to show that the
Sapho viii shortly be rendering good
account of itself.

The tunnel already under way is TO be pushed
to a connection with the vein at depth oi
100 feet. The north ledge will also be develop

which will show a rise Of only two feet
in that distance.
A force of men is now at work grad

Tho SILT Lake Tribune says ptetty
young Girl called at the office Of the
County Clerk in that city one day last
week and asked for marriage license,
explaining that the young man, who
was to become benedict, was from
Nevada and was too bashful to ask for
that necessary document. A couple
of Ely's young men, who are noted
for their extreme modesty, were absent
about that time, and it is possible one
of them may have been captured by
one of those enterprising Salt Lake
girls.

Tempered With Telephone Wire

For two days last week the telephone

impossible To transmit messages over
it, A. d. Gampton started ont Thurs
day morning 20 locate the damage,
and about the time he reached Mrs.
Shekela place the lue began working
of its own accord, since which time
no trouble has .been experienced.
From the Eureka end l. G. c. Whit
more could communicate with Mary
land Wells, and at Ely no trouble was
experienced in calling up Superintend-
ent Shepherds house, but between
those points the wire was silent. Mr..
Campton says he found nothing the
matter with the line, and he is of the
opinion that somebody had been
tamperng with it.

THE COPPER PROPERTIES.
Ac tive Season Promised at Cop
per Flat and Pilot Knob.

Joseph Bray of the Copper Flat prop
critics is expected to reach Ely within
a few days, and on his arrival, 1t is
understood, work will be prosecuted on
a large scale. At the present time the
shaft is being retimbered and changed
to two-compartment, and prepara-
tions are being made for sinking, which
is good indication of the work
planned for the coming season.
During the past week two large
wooden tanks have reached Eureka,
consigned to Mr.. Bray at Ely, but the
local management is very conservative
in the matter of giving out news, and
the Use to which they are to be put
could not be learned.
In the Pilot Knob some trouble is
again being experienced with water in
the shaft and it is taxing the capacity
of the new pump to keep it down; but
sinking continues, and if the volume oil
water increases another pump will
have to be installed. This, however.
will mean only a temporary If any,
delay, as the parties having the work
in hand will not allow the presence OF
little water to interfere with the pro-
gramme which they have mapped out.
