The Salt Lake Tribune OF December

Fred c. Richmond, who had just re.
turned to that city from trip to Ely:
OF the large number who have sam

camp, none are more enthusiastic over

now progressing. When the rejuven.
alton OF the camp was begun with Salt
Lake talent we'll up In the front, 1t was
upon its merits as gold producer, said
Mr.. Richmond, but recent develop
ments indicate that before another
year copper will predominate, and
however astonishing 1t may appear, the
red metal has made Its appearance In
every one Of the properties that were
originally exploited for the yellow
metal that was In them. In the recla-
nation or the camp Dix W. Smith has
been most active, and with the lodges
on the Mckinley group and Ely Con-

man has made up his mind that Ely

A BIG SCHEME ON FOOT
Ely Consolidated Mining, Smeit-
ing and Railway Company to
Be Organized.
Based on the Fifty Mining Claims
Now Under Bond to Dix
w. Smith.
The Big Enterprise to Be Laun-
ched When Mr.. Smith
Reaches the East.

The next big company to be organ.
lied for Ely will te the Consolidated
Mining, Smelling and Railway Com
pany based the 6fty Or more mining
claims recently secured under bond by
Dix W. Smith, lying on the belt just
west OF town.
The company, 1t is understood, Is to
incorporated for 500, 600, 900 and in ad-
dition to developing the mining prop
critics, its object will be to erect big
smelter east of town, and. II necessary,
construct and operate railroad from
some center yet to be determined, to
Ely.
This enterprise Is to be launched i'm
mediately upon Mr.. Smiths arrival In
the East and there Is no question as to
his being able to interest all the capital
necessary. Mr.. Smith expects to re-
turn to Ely within six weeks, and by
that time the affairs Of the new com
pany will have assumed shape.

THELEAp MARKET.
Drop In Price is Not So Serious
After All.

At last definite news Is given out re-
garding the result OF the conference be.
tween the lead producers an d repre-
sentatives of the Smelling Tr ust, which
was held In New York recently.
David Keith OF Salt Lake City has re-
turned home, says the Herald, and the
news he brings concerning the delioer-
ations of the producers and smelter Of
ficials is anything but dlscouraging TO
the miners of Utah.
From the 1st OF January, Mr.. Keith
saws, SO. so per hundred pounds VIII De
the settling basis for every producer
b,o and little fellows alike -and the fig-
ure will be maintained for six months.
The price Is 40 cents less than Is now
preyaillng with those who have con-
tracts. and 10 cents more than that
which has been in vogue for several
months with those without contracts.
Notbino was done about curtailing
the production in Utah, reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, and Mr..
Keith does not expect that any CLAUSE
dealing with that aspect Of the business
will be included In Utah contracts. In
the first place, nearly all the heavy pro.
ducers already have contracts that call
for their outputs. whatever 1t may be,
for from two to four years TO come, and
under the agreement reached In new
York. those contracts, In that respect
will remain in force.
At the end of the six mouths the
smelter officials are at liberty to name
a new settling price, and from the best
information obtainable and according TO
the Judgment of the smelter officials
themselves, 1t will be then raised rather
than lowered, and 1t may, OF course re-
main the same.

OBITUARY.

Stephen George Tucker, one of
White Pine county's pioneers, died at
his home In Ely at 4;30 o'clock Tuesday
morning, December II, OF abcess of the
brain at the age of rs years 8 months
and Is days. The deceased was a ma
tive OF Virginia and came TO Nevada in
the early fifties. When the White Pine
excl ement broke out In 1859 he was one
of the first to reach Hamilton and from
that time until his death he was an
honored resident OF this county, making
his HON. at Hamilton. Ward, Steptoe
Valley and in Ely. When young man
Mr.. Tucker drove stage on the old
overland road with Hank Monk and
others, and. although he was power
full man, the hardships then injured
undoubtedly shortened his life. In
White Pine county, where he was
known SO well, "Steve" Tucker had
not an enemy. but was recognized by
all as an honorable, unassuming and
fair-minded man, and the entire COM
munity joins in extending their heart
felt sympathy to the widow who sur
wives him. But
80 the multitude goes, like the flower or the
weed.
That with .rsagAy to let Others succeed
So the multitude comes-eyen those we behold
To repeat every tale lat his often been told"
And while he will be missed from
the circles where he was wont to spend
his spare moments, his friends have
the consolation OF knowing that after
long and busy life he passed away with
a name unsullied and with reputation
heritance which only
few men are able to bequeath to pos
terity. The deceased leaves widow In
Ely, one brotrer and two sisters In
Roseland, La, and other relatives In
Ohio and ia Denver, Col.
The funeral took place on Wednes-
day afternoon at O'Clock, and was
largely attended, services being held
both at the residence and at the grave.
At these A. 7. Stearns, Esq, officiated,
and choir, made up of ladies and
gentlemen voices, furnished sweet
music for the sad occasion.

Last Assessment Paid.

The Salt Lake Tribune OF last Fri
day says: 1.-THE assessment OF 8 cents
on the shares OF the Ely Mining COM
pany, whose mines and mill are loca-
ted at Ely, New, has again been respond
ed to with characteristic readiness by its
stockholders, and everything indicates
that the printer will again be cheated
out OF a delinquent ad. The levy
brings to the treasury as much as $4,000,
and with this the management will
make all ends meet until the mill is
started up and the pounding out of the
gold dollars from its rock is begun
again. In the meantime the opening
up of its two lodges goes on steadily,
and reports from the property all in
dictate its development into one OF the
big propositions of the camp"
