Driving Of the Copper Spike"
BY General Manager Requa

The copper spike, made of copper
taken from the Ruth mine Of the New
ada Copper Company, and the first
piece of Ely copper to be moulded for
human use, was driven by M. l.. Rogue,
General manager of the Nevada Norther
Railroad and Of the Nevada Consoli-
dated, at point little to the west Of
the Court House. AS Mr.. Requc struck
the last blow in sending the spike deep
into the tie, he announced that Nevada
Northern was completed into Ely, its
objective point and terminus ard was
ready TO handle all the business brought
to it. His words were greeted with a
wild cheer from the crowd, and then
three cheers were given for Mr. Reque
himself.

acted as chairman, introduced as the
first speaker Thomas Rockhill, "pioneer
of pioneers. Enthused and exilirated
by the fruition of the hopes of many
years, Mr.. Rockhil advanced to the
front of the platform with the light,
firm step of young man, and his voice
rang out clear and resonant. 1t seemed
that for the moment he had bathed in
a Ponce de Leon fountain of youth,
and was again the stalwart man who
forty years ago began the grim battle
for Ely.

was kept burning until it was time to
uncover the beeves for the feast. The
beans were cooked in big iron pots in
very much the same way.
The first train to arrive was the Salt
Lake section, made up of eleven
coaches and bearing 269 passengers,
chiefly members of the Salt Lake
Commercial Club and business men of
the Utah metropolis, with sprinkling
of returning White Pine mining men.
The train hove in sight on schedule
time, but was delayed short time
below town while the track men drove
in a few remaining spikes.
The second section, of six cars, bear
ing the Ogden party of l79 business
men, did not get here until several
hours later, having been delayed
on the road because of some trouble
with the locomotive.
The third section, of three cars,
bearing the Reno visitors, followed
closed behind the second section,
Luckily the Held brass band, from
Salt Lake, was on the first section,
and the musicians succeed in interesting
the waiting crowd until the delayed
sections got here.
Soon after all the visitors had alighted
from the last two sections the day S
ceremonies hepan.

Locomotive Whistle
DQlights Old Timers

The shrill whistle of the locomotive
has echoed through Robinson canyon.
AT the first blast, the old timers pricked
their ears, for the piercing discord was
filled their hearts with eXultatjon. Ii
was music to their ears sWeeter than
the notes of an Arcadian Lutte. l5meant
that Ely was unshackled from the
bondage of isolation and rernoteness,
that Ely's people We're freed forever
from the dreariuess of hope deferred
that had sickened men now grown old
almost to despair, and that Ely would
spring forward into the opulence OF q
populous city, a world famous copper
mining camp, like a strong man, whose
limbs, long fettered with chains, have
at last been released to the scope to
which nature had endowed them. For
several days before the piercing
whistle of the locomotive rang through
Ely, buildings had been springing up
mushroom-lik in Aultman street, and
now that the railroad is actually here,
this building boom will doubtless
continue with leaps and bounds,
Where it will end TO man can safely
predict. Some men say that the city of
Ely will eventually eclipse Butte,
Montana, the poarles5 copper camp OF
today and city Of 7o,0o) Inhabitants;
some say 10000; some say 20, 0oJ But
all agree in this one main point, that
Greater Ely will soon be the undisputed
metropolis of Nevada, and that it will
spread over sage brush hills and dusty
flats for miles around.

White Pines Early History
Told by Mr.. ROckhilI

"Forty years ago, )" he began, white
Pine was an unknown wilderness.
1t was in 1866 that the first prospect
ing parties from Austin started out to
prospect the eastern, part of Lander
county, which embraced all the terri
tory to the Utah line.
"They discovered the first mineral in
the Diamond range and located a num-
Der of claims, one of which was the
Eureka, from which the present town
and county take their names. While
the claims taken by these prospectors
had no merit, they were within only a
few miles of the great bonanza which
was subsequently discovered. The same
party came to the edge Of White Pine,
prospecting the western slope of White
Pine mountain, but when winter came
they went back to Austin, where they
organized company to build mill.
There enterprise, however. was not
success because they had failed to find
any claims cf value.
IN the lattef part Oh Lle Suihiilei,
while they We're here, an Indian brought
to their camp some chloride ore and
they went with him to examine the
ground in the vicinity Of the point at
which he had fonnd it. He took them
to Treasure Hill and showed them the
ground where the Hidden Treasure
mine is located but they were not
pleased and dismissed the Indian
roughly.
"Soon after the White Pine district
was organized, covering an area Of
twelve miles square, other prospecting
nartips having come in.

How the Barbecue
Was Made a Success

In preparing for Che barbecue, two
long trenches were dug in the Court
House grounds, one for the beeve5 and
the other for the beans. a fire was
first built in the bottom of the pits and
when the Goals were hot it was covered
with earth Then FIVE thicinesses Of
paper were spread over the earth, and
canvas spread over this. The beeves
cut in quarters, were placed on the can
vas and then covered with other canvas.
More earth was then shoveled into the
trench and new fire started This

Keen Rivalry Between
VisitinG Business Men

There was keen rivalry between tha
Ogdar and Salt Lake parties. All the

men, intent upon securing the business
Of Ely. which win be tremendous in the
years to come and we'll worth struggling
for. After the days programme had
concluded, the Ogden men formed IN
line for procession along Aultman
street. At intervals they gave the
Ogden yell, which very much resembled
rousing college yell, and then sang
the Ogden battle hymn, to the tune of
.'Old Hundred"
"We're here because we're here, because
were here. because we're here,
We're here because we're here, because
were here, because We're here
This refrain was taken up by others
in the town and was chanted ali during
the night, and in the morning, when
drowsy sleep sleepers opened their eyes,
matutinal breezes waited it family
from far Off, where, doubtless, some of
the Ogden braves, who had not gone to
bed, still fingered.
The barbecue was a splendid success,
This was due to the fact that it was
left entirely in the hands of men who
thoroughly understood the high art Of
the barbecue. Those who partook oi
portions Of the five becYes served up
declared that they had never tasted

Preparations for Saturdays celebra-

early put to work erecting the speakers

the tables in the Court House grounds
at which the guests at Ely's big bar
becue partook of the feast.
When the frame work was up, the
wooden structures were drapcd with
bunting and with flags of many colors
with the name of ely" printed upon
them in black letters. But the decora-
tions were not confined to the scene OF
the days rejoicing. All the town was
gay with bright colors, the business
men and residents lending willing
hand in making the display as bright as
possible. Never in the history of the
camp did Ely don brighter robe,
