Robust. is the Revenue gold mine,
which has fine hosting plant. Devel-
opment is in progress and good volumes
of SIS gold ore are blocked out, for the
treatment of which, it is expected, re-
dnction works are to be built In the
near future.
On both sides of the canyon, until
Copper Flat is reached, mile or more
TO the west, there are many old produc-
ing mines, some of which can show re-
ceipts for payment of the bullion tax,
among the number being the old Key
stone, located in 1872 or 1873, from
sent out by "'bull team that netted
its owners $4,000. The keystone is
silver-lead producer and in 1882 mill
was built for the treatment of its out
put, The ore occurs in blanket forma-
ton, with lime as the hanging and iron
manganese as the foot wall. There
is only about 20 feet of lime above the
ore body, and this old mine could GER
tainly be successfully operated under
modern methods.

Compton, who built a small furnace in
the year 1894; but he used only wood
for fuel, and so the enterprise was a
failure.
The copper zone, in the sulphide belt,
covers an area that is somewhat diff
cult to describe. On the surface, over
an area for miles in extent, hardly any
thing is visible but dark red soil,
which is here and there cut by iron
groupings, or copper blossoms, as
they are called. This zone is some ten
or eleven miles in length, easterly and
westerly, and from a mile and half to

zone; and, any place within these boun-
diaries, from IS to 100 shafts have been
sunk, and all of these have encounte cred
the sulphides after reaching depth of
100 feet some at lesser depth.
These shafts are scattered over the
area mentioned, and have proved the
universal naturalization of the section
named to a certain extent; and the rule
the copper values increase l per cent
for every 100 feet in depth gained; de-
velopment, so far, indicating an aver
age value of per cent copper,
while in some portions of the zone
values of even 6 and per cent are
claimed.
Outside of the proven belt in the
lime, away from the monzonite or
quartz porphyretic zone, in which the
great and inexhaustible deposits of
copper occur, important discoveries are
constantly being made. Two miles
northwest of the belt ore has been
as 16 per cent in its copper values.
North of Lane City, four miles, and on
a line westerly from Hercules Gap,
copper ore has been found showing good
pay values; while to the east of the
ssbelt' copper ore has been found
which, it is claimed, goes 60 per cent.
Some authorities who have inspected
the copper belt of Ely claim that the
copper bearing rock of the district is
nothing more than an immense por-
phyry Intrusion This porphyry, so one
which on the surface is weathered
brown with but little trace of copper.
This is CHARACTERISTIC of all the copper
deposits on the surface. The copper,

in addition to building stone, are
already ordered for delivery at
the rate of twenty-five carloads
per week throughout the winter,

big money can be made on ore going as
much as % per cent in its copper con-
tents. Some of the mines are pro

but the great mass of ore, from 1000
to 5000 feet in width and several miles
in length, along the copper belt, goes
within a fraction of 3 per cent, with
PAYABLE gold values present.
It is the opinion of many mining men,
and this includes some of the most
prominent ones in the country, that
Ely will rank among the first copper
camps of the world.
The big event of the year was the
completion of the Nevada Northern
railroad into the camp during the au-
tumn. and this marked the real be-
ginning of the intense mining and in
dustrial activity which the camp now
enjoys.
Some have predicted that the city of
Ely will have population of 10000
souls within a year; but it seems Ger
tain that it will contain at least half
the number within the period stated.
Copper Ore Blocked Out
According to the best information OBJ
tainable there are iO,O00,000 tons of
copper ore that will average 2l2 per
cent which is already blocked out and
ready to be shipped to the smelter as
soon as the same is completed, which HE
will probably take another year The
ore deposit here is generally in por
phyry. The porphyry dyke is approx
imately nine miles long by 2oo6 feet
vide. Along this dyke are several large
mining companies operating, such as the

In connection with the accom-
panying plat of the townsite,
there appears information as to
the numerous business blocks
upon which work is to be rushed.
The construction of frame build
ings within the business district is
very wisely prohibited, but they
may be of brick, stone or concrete.
Building material will largely be
supplied from a 400-acre tract
containing beautiful white and
salmon colored sandstone of an
excellent quality for the purpose.
This quarry is not far distant
from the railway line, and the
townsite company is now building
a spur track to connect it with the
railway so that production will be
large and economical. All the
buildings now planned will be Of
this material, although there will
doubtless be much Use made of
brick and other materials later.
The thing that impressed the
News representative about the
| place is the evidence on every
hand that a modern city is build
ing there which from the begin
ming shall have SANITARY condi-
tions, up-to-date conveniences and
slightly, permanent structures. In
these respects, it is unique as con-
trasted with the usual mining
camp of chaotic growth, COM
mencing with an impure water
supply, no sanitation and clusters
of board shanties, and later hav-
ing a pure water supply and
sewers only when pestilence has
claimed many victims, and getting
substantial and suitable buildings
only when disastrous conf1agra-
ton has cleared the place for
them.

one of from 10000 to $4,000 peo-
ole within the next four or five
years. The building of it is itself
problem of Importance equal to
those of economical and profitable
ore production and reduction, and
if is well that some Of the largest
New York stockholders in the
mines. millionaires and with the
broad views and experience COM
uensurate with such an undertake
ing, early addressed themselves to
the task. The result is the Ely
Townsite company, which through
the efforts of its able and genial
general manager, Mr.. A. G. Cor
bett, has acquired absolute title
to about $500 acres of land, ideal
" situated at the mouth of Robin
son canyon, gently sloping and
commanding a splendid view up
and down the Steptoe valley, Of
the Egan and Duck Creek noun
tains on either side, and up Robin
son canyon.
By the purchase of ranches and
their rights in Steptoe creek, the
toWnsite company has acquired a
supply of pure mountain water
amply sufficient for all needs of a
population of $4,000 people. The
townsite lands are adjacent to the
Nevada Northern railway and
about midway between the mines
and the smelter at which the ores
are to be reduced. 1t is said upon
eminent authority that. the rail
way will establish a suburban
tram service between Ely City, the
smelter and the mines, so that en-
ployees shall live at Ely City and
