INCOMING CROWDS
HUSTLE FOR COVER

camp fire. On Wednesday night there
was another crowd at the junction,
including several men Of prominence,
but rich and poor had to rough it in
the good old fashioned way. The resi-
dents of Cobre did the best they could
for the crowd, and were especially
kind to the women passengers, all of
whom were provided with comfortable
beds.
George E. Gum, manager of the
Cumberland-Ely, was among those who
spent Wednesday night at Cobre. 1--WE
were not uncomfortable, he said.
'Some sort of shelter was provided for
everybody, so far as know. There
were about 40 persons on the train that
arrived on and others got off at Cobre
later. Some of the men who passed
Tuesday night there had to sleep on
the floor Of the depot waiting room and
others built a fire oat5ide but now,
believe, this viii no longer be neces-
sary."
Maori. L. McClelland, who was also
in the crowd, said; There We're about
sixty persons who waited over night at
Cobrc with me. We got into all sorts
Of places. ] found shelter in the rail-
road office with several others, and we
took turns at keeping the fire going.
Some Of US had to sleep upon the floor.
Other lucky ones found hunks in the
tent lodging house.
George Dunn. of Twin Falls, Idaho,
said that there were IA persons in Mrs.
Spencer's tent at Cobre, Wednesday
night, some Of them being compelled
to sit up all night

If the present rush into Ely continues
there will be 5000 people in the camp
before spring.
Every train brings in so or more new
arrivals, the number increasing all the
time.
Lodging houses are taxed to their
utmost and to accommodate the inrush-
ing throng many private houses have
been philanthropically thrown open to
the new arrivals until they can find
time to look about and find permanent
quarters.
The urgent cry for "rooms, rooms,
rooms, E." is being responded to by the
people of Ely, who are hurrying to
completion a number of new lodging
houses, and in a short time there will
be plenty of shelter for the newcomers.
4 lSesent, however, there is vast
amount of running about, after the
arrival of each train, before the new
arrivals at last find Ravens for their
first night in Ely.
The rush is SO great that passengers
destined for Ely alight from all the
Southern Pacific trains at Cobre, and
some are forced to wait there over
night for the Nevada Northern train
into Ely. These have had to rough it
with a yengence, but arrangements
are now being made to give all of them
shelter in the future. On Tuesday
night a crowd Of men who could not
get accommodations in the Cobra lodg-
ing tent or any other place there, slept
on the floor of the depot waiting room
and an overflow party went out into a
nearby corral and spent the night at a

HOW Differed
The Men who Handle the Traffic
in and Out of E!y..Business on
the Road Keeps all Hands Busy

The officers and employees Of the
Nevada Northern who handle the traf-
fc in and out of Ely are busy men.
The questions that are asked them every
day are many. This man askes about
fare, that man is in search of informa-
ton about freight rates, the other fell
low wants to know what time the trains
arrive and leave, while not few are
looking after lost freight. Sometimes
the information impaired is satisfactory,
but often one goes away no wiser by his
inquiry. The question are answered if
at all by the following named:
Vice President and General Manager,
NJ. L. Requa, with headquarters at
Salt Lake and McGills.
Superintendent of the road C. II.
Beatty, with headquarters at Cobre.
General Freight and Passenger

in Robinson canyol, MIR. Walter Byrne,
the general manager Of the company,
came in by train last night to go over
the ground with John A. Kirby, the
well-known Salt Lake mining engineer,
who accompanied him. Mr.. Kirby
created the Daly-West mine and the
Salt Lake-Ely people will be guided
very largely by his judgment in de-
veloping their properties here.
These mines consist of eight claims,
well located in the copper belt near
Lane City. Porphyry has been found
four feet from the surface, which en-
courages Mr.. Byrne to hold that he
will find copper sulphides at a depth of
100 feet.
Mr.. Kirby will remain here seveoal
days and it is understood that he will
examine several other properties FOR
intending purchasers.

LUCKY Miners
Harold Gavin and A. Judell Take the
Fright of Way on The Promoters
TRACK" and Realize

Harold Gavin, formerly auditor OF the
Nevada Northern, is devoting himself to
mining since he handed in his recogna
ton to the railroad. He sold Wednes-
day group of claims u miles from
Cobre, in Elko county to Georgia capt.
tai for $4,000. The group was ex
ported by an eastern man and the deal
was closed and substantial first pay
ment made. A. Judell, chief engineer
on the road, is partner with Mr.. Ga
vim and shares equally in the dividend.
Both gentlemen say that few such
deals shunks railroad job. Gavin and
JUDAH still own fine copper group in
that district and expect to make deal
on them very soon. The gentlemen are
subjects of congratulation for when it
comes to.maling successful mining deals
it discounts auditing knotty railroad
claims and minuplating transit and
riding over the right Of way all hours
Of the day and night as Mr.. JUDAH did
for year. They have made several ship
ments of ore to the smeltcrs. They
both agree that Loray district will be

EIy Is After More
Big Smelling Plants

According to good authority, Salt
Lake had better get busy in hurry
and look after her we'll earned laurels,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. y promi-
nent mining man and metallurgist Sun
day gave the first intimation of what
is going forward in the smelling situa-
ton, and, according to him, the great
copper camp of Ely is quietly laying
plans to induce the smelling companies
to move their plants to that district
Salt Lake City admires Ely and her
tremendous resources; this city is will
ling to bank upon Ely mines to the last
dollar of its savings, but when it comes
to a smelling center they much prefer
Salt Lake even to SO glorious region
as Ely. Said the above mentioned
gentleman:
II am astonishe1 at the general air
OF apathy that find existing in Salt
Lake City regarding the smelter ques
ton. Few people, apparently, realize
how important an industry for their
city is hanging in the balance. Do peo-
pie not realize what Salt Lake is to
TIE smelling world? Itcertainly seems
they do not. | cannot account for this
condition, for the smelters mean an
enormous income to this community,
and, what is more, to all Utah, for
what will your low grade ores do should
the smelling facilities here be curtailed.
1t will mean the shutting down of a
score of mines in practically all dis
tricts. l should think these things are
worth while keeping away from Utah.
But what is your city doing?
"Do you know that well-organized
effort is going to be made to bring
these plants that must close down to
Ely? 1t is fact, and some mighty
powerful influences are hard at work.
Ely has great deal of argument on
her side. New railroads are going in,
some leading from many of Utah's big
camps or big camps to be; three, and
perhaps four, roads to Ely are either
contemplated or well planned. This
will divert the better grades of ore, for
there will be abundant competition to
secure rates for ore. You can put it
down that the smeters are going where
they can do the business.
salt Lake City is the present center
for the ores of Utah, Western Colorado,
Idaho, Nevada, California, part of
Montana, part Of Oregon and even
Mexico 1t is the present smelling cen
ter of the Nation, and while this honor
and source of income is apparently
about to fall into other fields. Salt Lake
sits calmly by and waits for outside
interests to present their claims. |
would think it time for The city and
her most influential interests to get
busy, and to work hard. You are going
to hear something from Ely drop pretty
soon.

IMPROVEMENTS AT NORTH PLATTE
Darlington Railroad Buying Lhnd Tor
ButldinE Terminals.


NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Nov. u.-(Spe-
eisl.) -Messrs. Westerveit and Mcdonald,
Burlington right-of-way agents, arrived In
town Friday and conferred with o. z.
Elder, who Is their agent in the purchase
Of real estate in the south part Of
this county. They will probably
be in town several days. Several pur-
chases were made by the Burlington a
Missouri OF property in the south part
Of the city. Two weeks ago a local real
estate agent was instructed to purchase
forty-six tracts Of property in this city
needed by the company, or rather to Sc
cure those that could be bought at a rea-
sonable price. The agent has succeeded
thus far in securing about twenty-five.
and the others viii either be purchased
or secured by condemnation proceedings.
This practically confirms the report that
has been going the rounds that the Bur
lington & Missouri will build a line up
the North Platte valley. North Platte
Is much elated over the statement that
this city will become q terminal for freight
and passenger divisions, and this means
the establishment OF extensive yards. round
house, small repair shop and the employ
ment Of many men. North Platte ex-
poets to get a mild boom when this line
Is built. The value Of property so far
secured by the agent Is about 10000, which
Is about one-half OF that needed.
". H. Mcdonald Of the Mcdonald State
bank recently purchased the former Dillon
property on the eastern limits Of the city.
This tract contains about 900 acres. There
/ is considerable speculation as to the use
Of the property. II is reported, however
that Mr.. Mcdonald has been quietly do
/ ing work for the Burlington & Missouri
and some believe that the purchase was
made for the company.
