Operations at the GirouX mine
have been confined the past week
to laying foundations and placing
in position the new engine and
compressor which were unloaded
a short time ago.
At the Bunker Hill mine three
shifts are being employed con-
stantly, and the mine is being
worked with the aid of a gasoline
hoist which was recently in
stalled. Several miners have
been detailed to do patent work
on the April Fool Fraction.
Grading for a wood yard is now
in progress at the Brooks
mine
a good flow of water has been
encountered in the Giroux wells
near the county road. Two
crosscuts are now being run for
IA distance of 100 feet, and the
flow of water is daily increasing.
Work will be continued, as the
company expects to secure
enough water from these wells to
supply the smelter
The old boarding house has
been fitted up, and the surveyors
will make their headquarters
there in the future. The frame
work of the machine shop, which
is l6X32 feet, is in position, and
the carpenters will begin work
on a blacksmith shop in IA few
days. The building will be lex

The most important develop
ment at the GirouX Con. Mines
this week is the installing of u
telephone system. by which the
company can now have commu-
nicatiOn with the outside world.
The work of placing the poles in
position and stringing the wires
has been in progress for the past
three days under the supervision
OF Electrician Geo. M. PeacOcke.
All the preparatory work has
been completed and connection
was made with the Ely Office last
evening.
One of the contemplated i'm
rrovements at Pilot Knob will be
consummated early next week,
when the company intends to in
stall electric lights in all the
buildings on the grounds. The
coal oil lamps will be discarded,
and the proposed innovation will
surely be appreciated by the en-
ployees.
The Taylor shaft is being re-
timbered, and it is the intention
of the company to enlarge it suf-
ticiently for double compart
ment shaft, on account of the
bad air which was encountered
recently. Three shifts were put
on short time ago In order to
hasten development work, The
shaft is $50 feet deep and gas
oline hoist is being used,
The Alpha shaft Is going down
at the rate of five feet day, and
a depth of $40 feet has been at

Pleasure Party.

A party of pleasure seekers
from Ely wended their way last
Tuesday evening to the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Eager at
Georgetown. Dancing was the
chief event on the program, and
an evening of mirth and festivity
was spent by those who trip the
light fantastic. Light refresh
ments were served during the
evening. The amusements con-
tinued until an early hour, and
even then the merrymakers were
not willing to admit that they
had enough.

Mormon Church
After Lewis Ranch

VIM. Horton has disposed of
his interests in the Sunnyside
ranch to j. l.. Whipple of Lund.
and the new owner has already
taken charge of the property.
Mr.. Horton stated to a News
representative that the Mormon
Church has been trying to secure
the ranch adjoining, which Is
owned by Mrs. M. G, Lewis Of
this place. If they are success
full in their efforts, the land in
that vicinity will be colonized by
converts of the Mormon faith.
The Mormon Church, which
is anxious to extend it's power
and influence in the western
states, has long been looking at
this particular piece of property
with a greedy eye, and during
the past few years has made sew:
eral attempts to secure it. II
they are successful a colonization
scheme similar to that put into
force at Lund and Preston will
be attempted. Mr.. Horton said
that the land between the two
ranches would be used for the
townsite and that the pasture
land would surround the town.

ABANDON WORK
ON No. z LEVEL
Sufficient Amount Of Work Done
10 Determine the Extent Of
Ore Bodies.

The big Cameron pump ON the
No. 2 level in the Eureka shaft
at Copper Flat was removed
Tuesday and the workings below
the No. / level will be allowed to
fill with water. The company
claims that sufficient work has
been done to demonstrate the
extent of the ore bodies, and
since the mine is to be worked
under the "caving system, =
further work on the lower level
would be IL waste of time and
money. The men employed on
the No. : level have been re-
moved to the No. | level, where
the preliminar work necessary to
the installation of the new system
to be employed in working the
mines will be prosecuted.
Whether or not the present
force at the mines will be re-
duced as result of the proposed
change, cannot be learned; but
it is the general presumption
that such will be the case and
that the force will be very ma
terially reduced within the next
few days. The suspension of
work will be but temporary,
however, and when work is re-
sumed at the mines it will be on
a scale not hitherto known in this
section of the state.

Six Fights Occur
During One Day

The quietness which prevails
in Ely at this season of the year
was destined to receive a severe
setback last Thursday, for on
that date six fights were record
ed. Although they did not oc-
curin a twenty -four-foot ring and
were not carried on according
to Marquis of Queensbury rules.
Net they were fights in the true
sense of the word. The festivi-
ties commenced at an early hour
and continued throughout the
day. Two of the combatants,
whose lighting proclivities were
especially in evidence, were TAX
en- in tow by the deputy sheriff
and languished for short time
in durance vile.
The real hero of the day was
the individual who took part in
all the fiStic contests. 1t was a
ctse of follow the crowd on a
fSunday,' for they were specta-
>rs at the miniature prize fights.
After everything had resumed
its wonted appearances, a few
broken windows was the only ev-
idence that anything out of the
ordinary had occurred.

WILL PRESERVE
HALCYON DAYS
Miss J. E. Weir Is Gathering Data
from Early Records for Nevada
Historical Association

Miss Jennie Elizabeth Weir
professor of the History depart
ment at the University of Neva.
da, was an arrival on Sunday
mornings stage from Eureka
pSring the past three months
she has been Touring the state in
the interests of the Nevada His
torical Association, which was
formed in June, 1904 at the Tri-
Decennial celebration in Reno.
The primary purpose of the
organization is to preserve all the
interesting facts regarding the
early history of the State. The
few pioneers who are still in the
land of the living are interview
ed, because the incidents of
those halcyon days can be learned
from them better than from any
other source. The association
can now boast of $50 members
composed of the leading citizens
of the state; men who were in
strumental in making history in
Nevada. w. W. Booher of Elko
is president of the association !;
Miss Weir is secretary. Miss
Weir, during her short stay here,
secured much information CON
cerning the pioneers of old White
Pine.
Incidentally she has been try
ing to interest the young people
of the state in the wonderful op-
portunities offered by the Uni
versity of Nevada. In this nn-
dertaking she has been quite
successful. The public school
system has received a large share
of consideration during her trav-
els over the state.
Miss Weir secured the degree
of A. B. from Stanford Univer-
sity in 1901, and since that time
she has been engaged in teach
ing history. She was admitted
last April into the Phi Beta
Kappa fraternity at Stanford, a
ma tional society where scholar
ship is the only prerequisite,
Miss Weir departed for Cherry
Creek yesterday morning, and
after spending several days
there, will continue her journey
to Wells. She expects to return
to Ely when the railroad is i'm
operation.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-06-21

residents. It was. too, a beautiful town. The luxuriant flowers of the oleander tree decked the city, great live oaks beautified the streets. It had the aspect not only of prosperous port, but also bore evidence that this was favorite resort. The storm laid low wealth and beauty. It came up in the early morn ing, with strong gale from the north west, which brought the waters of the bay up to the level of the wharves. Ere long, the wind, now from the northeast, the water crept up among the business houses. Now waves came dashing with fury from the gulf side DweHers in the rickety tenements sought refuge in the solid business houses; a; larm awOke, but as yet there was no panic. By the middle of the afternoon the waters, spreading fast, all business was stopped and people went home to look after their families. At five o'clock the wind was blowing S4 miles an hour, and now the panic was in full force; from this on to seven, when resignation to the inevita- ble took the place of frenzy among many. The wind came from any and all direc- tions, the anemometer was carried away when 80 miles an hour was recorded. Awhile before seven o'clock great wave rushed in with solid wall of water four feet high, and whole blocks of
