Ely Not Booming.
Ely is not booming; that is. not in
tho cNtravagant sense in which the
word is generally used. The condition
is rather that OF the carly stages of q
healthy. natural growth consistent with
her situation, present Lasiccss and
known resources.
Up TO less than two years ago tho
merchandise business OF this part OF the
country was done by the two general
stores Of w. =. Graham ard Miss Haycs,
both in Ely. Now there arc ten or q
dozen stores, including IN exclusive
furniture store, clothing store, a men IS
furnishing store and millinery store
There are two banks, both started this

Great Eruptive Swell.
The now generally accepted theory of
the great Ely copper deposit is that
it is a great eruptivc swell or "hog
back pushed up from below through
the everything lime along fault, cut
ting entirely across the Egan range,
west of Ely, the general shape Of the
intrusion being somewhat that OF rick
of hay or the comb roof of house. The
country rock here is lime, generally
hundreds of feet in thickness where
was tilted and thrown back around the
edges of the eruptive area and broken
and shattered over its top, so that il
has since been eroded and carried away,
leaving the top Of tho cruptive swell
practically free from lime over AN area
seven miles long and averaging more
than half Il nile In width.
The material Of this intrusion is
what is commonly called porphyry, but
oeeOos n bp DOrG SDGp1tiC a yolcanic
product derived from the fusion Of
syenite and known as monzonite. It's
orr rinal form and that in which it 10
still found at depth is that of a yellow
ish white, or whitish gray, silicious
rock, shading at times into green,
through which the copper values are
disseminated with uniformity in very
fine grains and minute seams. In this
eruptive material the copper is, as is
usually the case, associated with iron.
The copper in this form is soluble. but

The copper boom has, of course,
eclipsed the gold and silver properties
of the Robinson district and will prac-
tically cxtinguish those lying within
the well.dciined copper belt, as the cop
per values with depth tar exceed the
values to be expected in the shallowcr
deposits Of gold and silver One of
the gold mines still operated is the

scattered for the most part around the
edges of the copper zone. Nearly all
the claims within the known sulph!de
territory have passed into the hands
Of the copper companies, and fms has
been written in their career as gold,
silver or lead producers.
The confidence that is felt by those
who are on the inside and who are
pouring their money into the develop
ment of this copper deposit is rejected
in the price of the stocks of the prin-
cipal companies Not a single ton OF
this copper ore has yet been marketed
and there will be no revenues from any
Of the mines for at least year or
more, yet the So par stock or the Ne

market new town has been laid out
a mile and a half below Ely called the
Ely townsite and the usual antagonisGl
between it and the present town OF
the fact that the railroad has made
extensive arrangements there for side
tracks, yards, freight depot, etc. These
necessities could not be placed in the
present town Of Ely because there is
not room enough and because the grade
is too heavy il there was room. Il seems
TO the writer that the strife between
the two places is waste of energy
that might be expended to better pug"
pose. Most of the land between the
two is already surveyed into town lots
and in a few years the town will be
continuous and it will be called Ely.

of the copper belt and lying in part
between the Ruth and Copper Flat
groups of the Nevada Consolidated. The
Pheby Bros. are interested IN other
groups in the zone and if the churu
drills are successful it is probable they
will be extensively employed in pre-
liminary work, as the outfit costs but
$1,000, and it is claimed the cost of
sinking with them is only about 81 per
foot. Many other companies and indi-
viduals, many OF them with substantial
and in some Instances very strong back

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
New Dates set for Remaining Cham
piOnship Games.

The faculty athletic advisers Of the
Washington High School last night de-
cided upon the dates for playing the re-
naming games Of football for the inter
high school championship. The Central
Technical game. which was indefinitely
postponed three weeks ago on account Of
the Macdonald eligibility case, viii be
played next Tuesday afternoon, Novem-
Der 20. and the Central Western game.
which was 90 hove been played next Fri
day, has been set fo- Tuesday. November
q. just one week from the Central-Tech
contest.
Technical easily won the first game Of
the series OF three from Western, and as
Central figures stronger than Western.
the greater OF the two coming games Is
the Central-Technical affair.
Jack Gass, of Lehigh. and Herman
Suter. of Princeton, will be the officials,
and it is probable that two umpires will
be used so that every infraction of the
rules may be detected, for the rivalry
since the Macdonald case was settled is
so intense that some rough work may be
INDUCED in. The halves in each game Will
be twenty-five minutes. and both games
will be played at National Park at >
O'Clock
