A passage in document or medieval

piece of tartan from four to six yards
in length and two yards broad. The

"RAILROAD DAY" REJOICING AT CHERRY CREEK

sons interested III Ely mines. In a casual, off

mines here that are worth remembering. Old

| hope that in the future Cherry Creek
will develop to even larger proportions
than your expectations.
II. G. Toll, general freight and pas
senger agent of the N NJ. responded
to the toast to "Frcight and Passenger
Rates - This is hard subject to
talk on, he said. 1--WE have your
welfare at heart and will certainly do
everything in our power to further your
interests. The railroad is vitally in
terested in the prosperity of this town.
The more traffic upon the line and the
more ore we handle the better we will
prosper, and the better rater we can
give you. Compared with the rates on
the main line, our rates may seem high
but when compared with other lines
similarly situated they are extremely
fair. If we at any time find that our
rates are too high, or if the citizens of
Cherry Creek think them so, we will be
ready to discuss the matter with you.
If you show that your position is right,
we will promptly make any reduction
asked for. -
Before introducing Walter G. Perk-
ms, metalurgist of the Nevada Con
solidated Copper Co., Mr.. Wearne re-
marked that Nevada was once called
the Silver State, then, later the Gold
State but that it might now be called
the Copper state. Mr.. Perkins said:
eve are going to smelt ore, but before
we begin smelling I do not believe in
talking much. Mr. Requa said that
the work in Ely was more of manu-
featuring chan mining proposition.
He was right We are in the smelling
business. We will smelt Ely ore Also
Cherry Greek ore. If you will bring it
along
Mr.. Wearne remarked that he cx-
pected soon to see trains bearing
Cherry Ore to the Ely Sme.tcr.
Mr. Requa replied that such thing
would doubtless come TO pass.
W. J. Wallace, manager of the Ma
tional Mining Company, in responding
to the toast to the Cherry Creek
Mining District, said: 1t is not often
in the life time of any man that he has
the opportunity to attend a reception
to such men as head the Nevada North
crn Railroad and the enterprises they
command. It took hard work to bring
the enterprise to the point at which it
IS tonight hard work for the builders
and hard worl, for those who had sirug
gled so lon" to bring line Of rail into
the region. We must not forget the
courage of the people of White Pine
county the courage of the old timer
who endured so many pangs Of priFa-
ton and disappointment in holding on
to his claims until this day
Mr. Wallace told IN amusing story OF
an old man in Alberta, Canada, who
had held on to oil lands for years until
a buyer came around. He said he had
lived too long on deer tracks an wind
ruddin " to let go of his property for q
song. Mr.. Wallace said that some OF
the old timers might be said to have
lived on "nountain scenery and blasted
hopes. : -----.-.--.---

future, if you will only come to me and
tell me frankly what you want | will

bly, do it.
Hon. ". C. Gallagher, representa-
tive IN the State Senate, followed with
a response to the toast to the 'Legis-
lature. He said: The Nevada Legis-
lature has for years past been IN favor
Of railroads, and we meet here tonight
TO commemorate something that is very
gratifying to all OF US. For great
many years we have looked for the rail
road. Sometimes it was coming then

who has actually given US one. | am
rs glad IS the rest of you that it is

At this point, Mr.. W. B. Rundle pro-
posed q toast TO THE Ladies', and a
rising vote of thanks to the young Ia
dies of Cherry Greek who had waited
on the banquet table and were about to
beat a retreat at the sight Of the cigar
boxes and the sound of the popping
champagne corks,
a. Judell, chief engineer Of the Ne
vaaa Northern was the next speaker
F lie responded to the toast to the EN-
gineering Department. He thanked
the people of Cherry Creek for their
loyal support during the building OF The
railroad and said:
Il now feel that | have replied to
that old question. which you have so
often put to ne: When will the rail
road be at Cherry Creek?' You have it
now, with all it's conyenicnces. But 1t
should be looked upon chiefly as one OF
the tools for developing the resources
Of the county and not enc of the luHu-
ries.
~ is now by turn to ask you: What
DO you want With the railroad?
"You have needed the facilities to
develop the resources Of your camp,
We have done our part in supplying
your needs.
1T is hard TO estimate when rail
