ELY IS PR0SPER|NG
IN DECIDED MANNER
Manager Siegel Arrives Very
Much Pleased With the
Conditions There.

That Ely is enjoying the healthiest
kind Of boom is vouched for by H.
l.. Siegcl, manager Of the Sicgel Con-
solidated Mining company of White
Pine county. Mr.. Siegel came into Salt
Lake from the mine In reGord-breaking
time, starting from his property at 10
o CLOCK Friday morning, and arriving in
before the Nevada Northern railroad
had reached Cherry Creek, it took from
three to four days from the Siegel Con-
solidnted mine to this city The Nevada
Northern road, stated Mr.. Siegel Satur
day, has reached point within seven
miles Of the camp Of Ely.
Every one at Ely Is on the tip-toe
the arrival Of Railroad day and its
enormous crowds from all over the
Western region. Nothing Is to be
spared to make Of the Goth day Of this
month most memorable occasion for
this camp. The town, states Mr.. Siegel,
is changing rapidly, there being many
additions for improvement since his last
more handsome and substantial than
the Northern Office building, which is
to be modern building five or six
stories in height. Many reservations
for suites Of two rooms have been made
already, and two rooms will rent for
something like 500 per month.
Nothing could compare with the ad-
vance in realty values at Ely during
the past six months. Ground space not
over twenty-five feet frontage rents for
800 per month, and small shacks in
the business portion Of the town bring
fine rents, also small cottages at the
edge of the townsitc. The restaurants
at Ely, states Mr. Siegel, are good, and
their rates are very reasonable.
MIR. Siegel has been spending the past
two weeks at the mine, and says that
everything in this famous property is
progressing satisfactorily. The manage
ment still is greatly embarrassed owing
TO the lack Of teams, having no other
means Of reaching the railroad tracks
than by the teams owned by the COM
pany. The freighter in White Pine
county still Is reaping his harvest, and
the chances are that there will be
plenty of hauling for them to do for
many years to come, as all the mines
Nevada Northern tracks. During the
month Of August the company sent only
five cars of ore to the local market, that
being the limit of the capacity of the
teams The management is taking out
ore at much faster rate, and the pres
ent shipments from the Siegel Consoli-
dated could be ten cars a month with
Out extra euOrC WcTe LTdHSpOEldJlOH la
cilities adequate.
The company continues to open up
fine ore bodies along the east and west
system Of assuring, the largest body
of recent developments being fully 800
feet in length. Mr. Siegel states that
there have been three OF four slopes
opened i'll this body, the widest being
thirty feet. The ore is of ideal smelt-
ing grade, containing an excess of man
ganese and just enough iron to be high
arsenic and othor impurities is prac,
tically nil. Mr.. Siegel, before his de-
parture from Ely, heard some encourag-
ing reports from the Ward district, sit
uated about twenty-four miles from
Ely. This district in the early days
produced its millions in ore, but was
abandoned along with the other famous
silver camps of White Pine county.
Some Denver capitalists have secured
properties in the Ward district which
arc described as being very valuable
under the present fine conditions for
mining
