The BurrO.

The long haired, long cared, meek
looking little burro is very useful
animal He has acted an important
part in building the world" from the
days of Adam to the present time
and still carries his load uncomplain-
ingly. He was first employed in this
State in packing all kinds of provisions
across the Sierra Nevada's to the Com
stock in the days of the trail. He was
crowded out by the building of the
highways on the old Placerville-Straw-
berry Valley route and off the Hen
nessy Pass, that shortly after their
completion were lined with big schoon-
ers. with their backactions" and
drawn by strings of horses and mules.
But his going from the paths where he
had formerly been employed to place
further out on the frontier Of civiliza-
tion. The little fellow has had as much
to do with the devopment OF mining
property as has man or capital. lie
has drudged over Nevada S hills, loaded
the smell of the sage brush ever since
Fremont found path to the Pacific
Coast. He has packed supplies into
the sheep and cattle camps of the
State for many. many years and is
still acting his part in helping man
along the rugged path of life. With
his saddle securely strapped to his
strong little back and loaded with
couple hundred pounds of flour, bacon,
yeast powder and a faying pan, he car
able sections of our commonwealth.
His Importance as a servant of man has
been shamefully neglected as far as
giving credit where credit is due, for
al at best he is only jackass and yet he
has been the most useful animal for
man of all the equine family. The
donkey is worth his weight in gold and
will continue to be to the end of time
The burro has been a great factor IN
the leading copper. Damp OF the word.
He was pioneer in this county as he
has been the world over.

Enthusiastic Over
Outlook in Ely

Charles O. Ellingwood has arrived
in Salt Lake from New York filled with
enthusiasm over the outlook for con-
tinued prosperity of the mining indus
try in the West and particularly OF the
projects with which he is associated.
He declares that there is no cessation
of interest in mining investments on
the part of eastern investors and that
any worthy project that can show
value behind it is assured every rea-
sonable encouragement. The temper
ary tightness of the money market
he believes to be virtually over and he
looks for increased buying of western
securities.
Mr.. Ellingwood has resigned the posi-
tions of secretary of the Honerine
Tunnel & Milling company and secre-
tary and treasurer of the Western Ex-
ploration company that he may give all
of his attention to the Ely Consolidated
Copper company of which he is secre-
tary and treasury, and the National
Development company, in which he is
largely interested.
ELY Consolidated is great favorite
with New Workers." said Mr.. Elling-
wood, "and l expect to see it go to $40
or SIS on the New York curb in the
next few months. It did not feel the
furry in the market caused by the
Nipissing deal because it stands strictly
on its own merits. Yes, | have heard
the rumor that an attempt is being
made to corner the stock and | would
not be surprised if it We're true.
Il couldn't imagine anything that
could keep Ely Con-, down. We know
that we have the ore and we are going
after it as fast as money can get the
work done. The ore bodies were ex-
plored with diamond drills before the
property was taken over, and the sulp-
hides were found at the depth of 450
to 500 feet. We are now sinking three
shafts as rapidly as they can be put
down and one of them is already ap-
preaching the sulphide zone. Of course
we shall not ship until the new smelter
is completed but the time will be well
occupied in blocking out the ore bod
les. .

IMPRESSIONS OF
A Man OF AFFAIRS
Mr.. W. ]. Palmer of New York
Visits Ely and Tells "The News"
What He Thinks About the City

MIR. w. J. Palmer, President of the
Ely Townsite Co., is here for few
days from New York. Mr.. Palmer is
a man of the world and of large affairs,
hence his impression of business
conditions are valuable. When
asked by News reporter Monday
what his impression We're of Ely he re-
plieb; with out doubt Ely will be the
great commercial distributing center
for eastern Nevada. Its immense ore
deposits have gained it standing in
the eyes of the commercial world such
as few cities have 1t is today the best
advertised city on the continent. This
means an unprecedently rapid growth
within the next two years, and without
doubt before that time expires Ely will
be city of from 25, 600 to 30, O,O00people.
The only parallel case that | can think
of is Butte, Montana, and it is my
opinion that Ely will grow more rapidly
than Butte ever did. Commencing
with the present town and extending
to the Steptoe Valley there is room for
all comers. Ely will be city of bust
ness blocks, school houses and churches
and one, | believe that will be entirely
free from sectionalsm. The success of
Ely is the success of all its citizens;
the success of one portion is the success
of the whole There is room for all
and all Ely's citizens should join
untedly in welcoming the stranger
within its gates.
Il hope to make Ely my home the
greater part of the year and am there
fore vitally Interested in its welfare
and prosperity.

six inches wide and eighteen inches
long, firmly set in mound or in earth
SO that at least six inches in height of
said stone shall be plainly visible from
all Sides or he shall erect post at
least four inches square or four inches
in diameter, which post must be firmly
set in the ground or in mound of
earth or rock, and must rise at least
three feet above the surface. All of
these monuments shall be so marked by
letters, figures or otherwise as to in
dicate its purpose.
Within ninety days from the date of
the posting of the notices as above men,
toned the prospector or party locating
the claim, must file for record with the
mining district recorder and the county
recorder of the county in which such
claim is situated, certificate which
said certificate must contain: First,
the name of the lode; second the name
of the locator; third, the date of loca-
tion together with such description as
is sufficient to identify the claim; fourth
the linear feet claimed in length along
the course of the vein, each way from
point of discovery, giving the width on
each side of the center of the vein and
the general course of the lode on vein;
fifth, the dimensions and location and
description of the discovery shaft:
sixth, the location and description of
corner and side center boundary to-
gether with the marking thereon.
If these steps have all been taken by
the prospector, he has acquired a pos
sessory right to the territory included
within his marked boundaries. In or
der that this ''possessory right that
he has thus acquired may be held, it is
necessary for the prospector to do work
or make improvements during each year
on said claim of the value of 500, and
the statutes of the United States provide
that in figuring the value of the work so
done on a claim that a days work is
fixed at the value of $4 and that eight
hours shall constitute day. labor
In order that locator may retain
this possessory right he must, within
sixty days after the performance of the
labor, or the making of the 500 i'm
provements, as above mentioned, make
and have recorded by the mining dis
trict recorder or the county recorder
an affidavit which saidatfidavit must
show the amount of money expended,
the value of labor or improvements and
the description of the claim effected by
the same, and for what year the work
was done and the name of the claim
ant of the claims, at whose expense the
same was performed.
IN location of quartz claims, only one
claim can be secnred by one location
notice This is different with placer
claims, where several claims may be
located and held by one location notice.

HOW TO LEGALLY
LOCATE CLAIMS
What 1t Is Necessary to DE- to Comply With
the State and United
States Laws

J. S. Parker, a prominent attorney
of Reno, has compiled the following in
structions about how to make a legal
location of mining property.
Any person, who is a citizen of the
United States, or who has declared his
intention to become such, may locate a
mining claim in this state. Indians and
aliens are not eligible to locate and
hold any of the public domain for min
ing purposes. The first thing that is
absolutely necessary to be done, to le-
gally locate mining claim, is to dis
cover ledge of mineral bearing rock.
A location must be made upon a vein
or ore having mineral in place, and a
location made Unfortunately, without
first having mineral in place is not suf-
ficent to satisfy the law. By this we
wish to state that no valid location of
mining claim can be made until "a
vein or deposit of gold, silver, or met
aliferous ore, or rock in place, has been
discovered.
After this discovery is made the next
step to be taken by the prospector or
locator is to post notice of his loca
ton, at the point of discovery This
notice must give certain information,
to-wit: First. the name of the ledge
or claim; second, the name of the To-
Gator; third, the date of the location;
fourth, the number of linear feet claim
in length along the course of the vein,
each way from the point of discov-
cry, with the width on each side of the
center of the vein, together with the
general course of the vein or ledge as
near as may be.
After the prospector has posted his
notice as above required, he must,
within ninety days from the date of
the posting of his said notice, sink a
discovery shaft upon the claim to the
depth of at least ten feet at the lowest
part of the rim, or deeper if necessary
to show by such work lode or deposit
of mineral in place. The latter part
of this requirement should always be
observed. In some loalities the mining
man has come to conclude that if the
discovery shaft is put down ten feet,
that this all that the law requires, but
such is not the case. The statute is
very plain to the effect that ten feet is
not sufficient for the shaft, if at that
depth it does not show lode or deposit
of mineral in place.
The prospector, or miner, must also,
within ninety days from the date of
posting his location notice, mark the
boundaries of his claim by erecting at
the location point and at each corner or
angle of said claim and at the center
of each side line monument which
shall distinctly mark these various
points.
The law says that locator shall dis
tinctly mark tree or rock in place, or
