The property purchased is by no

traversed by two tissues supposed to

Fresh Discoveries Occurring Daily
and Hard to Say Where
End Will Be.

Max NJ. Johnson, the well-known To-
cal mining man, ls in the city again
after an absence OF several weeks In
Ely. New, and vicinity Mr.. Johnson
Is interested In the Ely Gibraltar Min
ing company and the Christmas Mining
company, the former a lead proposition
In the Duck Creek district and tho lat
ter in the Ely copper Hone. In dis
cussing the Ely situation yesterday,
Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Nearly the entire mineral belt Is
In porphyry, tho values running from
very low-grade to as high as 60 and 70
per cent. The copper zone is known to
extend sixteen miles from Ely In two
directions. Those who have not WIS.,
tied the district for themselves can
form no conception of the extent and
mountains appear to be composed OF
the copper-bearlng porphyry, and In
some localities a depth OF over 700 feet
has been sunk, all in ore. 1t Will re-
quire hundreds of years to take out
all the copper actually in sight at this
time. and fresh discoveries are being
made almost daily. The actual extent
of the ore zone can really only be
guessed at.
Ely Is Hustllng.
Ely Itself is an active, hustllng, up
to-date camp, with a population vari-
ously estimated at 2500 to 1000 people,
scattered for the most part up and
down the district. The residents con-
fidently look forward to the extension

ing last winter freight rates went as
high as ~ cents per pound for this
haul. but tho rate now Is only about
ia cents.
Supplies Plentiful.

THE amount Of freight daily arriv-
ing is remarkable. / happen to know
that two pressed brick machines were
shipped from Ogden about ten days
ago. and that a contract has been let
for 100000 brick. to be used In the
construction Of a huge smelter. On
every hand evidence OF progress and
prosperity exists. and those who know
the country find II hard to say where
the end VIII be. 1t Is no exaggeration
to say that the Ely copper deposits are
the greatest In the world; It is simply
plain unvarnlshed fact. and putting it
mildly at that"
Mr. Johnson Will remain In the city
for about ten days. when he will leave
again for the camp.
