The work Of extending the

nine will be worked. The drifts
on this level are 6X8 feet in the
clear, and the timbering Is done
in the most exact manner, an

Lets CT Smoke, But No Fire.

Smoke was seen issuing from
the Ely Mercantile Co.'s store
Sunday afternoon, and the cry Of
fire fren was soon echoed
from one end Of Aultman street
to the other. Men rushed from
all directions with bucket, or any
old thing that would hold water,
t the scene Of the supposed fire.
The hose cart was soon run cut
and the hose attached to the fire
plug on the corner Of Murray and
Aultman streets, but before the
innromDtu fire boys" could
reach the scene Of action it was
discovered that it was a case OF
all smoke and no fire. The boys
were determined, however, that
the first fire alarm in town after
the fire protection system had
been installed should be duly OBJ
served, and accordingly played a
stream Oh the supposed burning
building, that looked good to the
property owners Of the town.

lowing to say:
Il have been in pretty near
every mining camp in the vest
and | think [ know a thing or
two about the town lot question.
never saw Il mining camp that
was level for twenty miles in
every direction that ever made
big money for the holders Of
town lots. Wherever | find Il
camp limited to a small area, by
surrounding hills, there is where
/ want 4 town lot. 1t is surpris-
inc what d little bit Of surface
ground several thousand people
need, after all.
Take big cities for instance,
and see how many thousands of
people can live on a certain
block Of ground, that in a strag
Cling country town would be
covered with maybe a half dozen
tamblea down shantieS, an old
corral, and probably the whole
block occupied by ten people,
Take the Mills building in San
Francisco, standing on lot
IJ0Xl50. Does anybody object
to living in the Mills building?
Why, the government delegates
one mail carrier, solely to attend
10 the wants of the one th0us-
and tenants in that building
alone.
"Now, there is d certain law
of supply and demand that rega-
lates the price Of any commodity
even to mining camp town lots.
When somebody wants q thing
bad, and has to have il, (as they
will town lots in Ely before sum
mer), why the price Of town lots
will be about Wha5 Big sim ;

Now, 1 hayo noticed this

mining camps before Fer in
stance. ia Virginia 0ily, in the
7O's, lots We're about priceless,
and for the reason that they
were limited in number, and
there were few upon which a
building could be made to stick
anyhow. Then take Bisbee,
Arizona. 1t has one crooked
street, that follows up a narrow
canyon about 80 feet wide, and
lots on this street cannot be
bought. II a merchant should
sell out his place of business, he
couldn' / get within three miles Of
town again in his life time. Then
take Eureka. During its boom
days, why, an ordinary town lot
on Main street sold for $4,000.
When you get off Of Main street
in Eureka, on either side, you
generally have 10 take q balloon
to do II. Now, take Bingham,
Utah. Why, there ism t five lots
