GOOD TO HIM

on the stages-and they charge
anything they please--either
have to remain in Eureka or
walk. A great many are walk
ing.
Il was told while at camp that
the Nevada Consolidated com
pany expects to have its railroad
completed from Cobre, the
Southern Pacific terminal, to
point within seventy five miles
of Ely by April 1. Then q sta
ton will be established and
freight and passengers will be
handled to that point. An effort
is to be made to have the line
completed into camp by July !
and, as work has been resumed
on the line, and the distance to
be covered is easily built, the i'm
preston at camp is that the line
will be finished by the time
stated.
Town lots and business prop
erty in Ely have about trebled
in value since the first of the
year. AS a matter of fact, bust
ness locations that were selling
at 81, 900 six weeks ago are now
bringing S., 900. Residence lots
that were held at $500 are now
bringing $500, and SO it goes.
Men who were eking out an eX-
istence and earning hardly
enough to pay taxes on their
properties a year ago are now
counted among the rich men of
the community. And, as a rule,
they are a fine, hospitable class
of men at that. Nothing is too
good for stranger in that com
munity.
"A great many men who have
been hanging on to mining
claims for years, men who have
been counted as ground poor,
are now realizing on their labor
and logged tenacity of purpose,
and everybody has money.
Properties remote from the camp
are beginning to attract atten-
ton and looks to me that the
boom will spread over a large
area of territory before the year
is over. There is a great deal of
good country tributary to the
new railroad, and much of it will
come into market with the com
pletion of the line. [ saw gold
quartz that came from a prop
erty near Cherry Creek that
would run $4,000 to 100000 per
ton. Good lead and silver prop
critics are also to be had and the
men who know the country de-
clare that Ely will not be the
only camp to profit by the big
enterprises that are being round
ed out there.
1.-THE Nevada Consolidated,
Butte & Ely, Cumberland Ely,
Veteran .ElY'aud other corpora
tions are gobbling up ground in
all directions, and men are there
in plenty hunting for territory
on which to organize new com
panies. The mineral belt is a
wonderful one and a great deal
of development work is being
done. Good miners need have
no fear of finding work, there.
There is place for all who go.
Every man who cares to work
has good job and there will be
room for hundreds more during
the spring and summer months.
Business men are preparing
to erect great buildings and there
is no possibility Of their making
a mistake in doing so. One man,
a man who will be here in Salt
Lake next week, is going to
erect a four story business block
and put in a $15O,000 stock Of
general merchandise.
I'D. S. Dickerson, the proprie-
tor of the WHITE PINE News, is
now preparing to publish mod
ern daily paper. Linotypes, u
perfecting press and all the para
phernalia that goes to make up
a tirst-class newspaper plant, is
to be put in by him during the
spring months, and he will be
over here in a few days to get q
few pointers from The Herald.
