sErrER Begin At HOME.

We have heard it remarked that
the Denver papers have more local
news than the local papers published
In the same community. While, Of
course. that is not true at all, it
may appear SO at times, because the
city papers make mountain out Of
. mole hill. The local papers must
IAke the same item, that has looked
20 newsy in city paper and shear 1t
of all its embellishments, and leave
nothing but the truth. The truth
Of story is usually told in very
few words, and consequently assumes
les importance.
The reason for. these things is that
the correspondents for the Denver
papers are space write s, and the
more they can embellish a story, so
long as it is not absolutely libelous,
the better reading it.makes for the
rest of the state and the more money
it makes them. A local paper at
tempting to ruI. along these lines
would last but a very short time in
. community like Greeley. A small
misstatement about a person in a
loca; paper will at once call for a
more or less unpleasant visit from
the person who imagines himself ag-
grieved. This is not true in city
ofIice. A person might be cordially
receivsd If he should call and ask
for correction but, he would never
get the correction, no matter how
injurious the false statement about
him might be. 1t pays therefore, in
more ways than one, to patronize
the home papers. They may not
cover so large field, but cover. that
field thoroughly and truthfully.
Another phase Of the evil Of mis-
statement by the larger city papers,
is to be found in the we'll meant
boom articles that from time to
time appear about certain sections of
country. While the intent may be
the best in the world, more often

PLAYING THE Dog
New Experience for a Greeley
Theatrical Audience

New things happen in Greeley, or
to Greeley, seldom enough so that
anything absolutely new and origi-
nal is worthy of more than common
notice.
Last Thursday evening something
absolutely new did happen to the
old town. For few hours it was
transformed into dog" If that
ism t something new, we would like
to know the reason why. 1t was a
sort OF lucky dog, though, as it was
only a winsome little actress by the
name Of Florence Roberts, and a fine
company Of players, who were trying
a new play, THE Strength of the
Weak" for the first time.
In actor parlance, trying it on
the dog" means the presentation of
a new play in the smaller towns be-
fore it is given metropolitan or
large city production. Then if the
small city audience can see anything
in the play worth while, it will be
tried in the larger cities, when it
may still fall fiat us an unsodaed
pancake. But usually, If an audi
ence like the Greeley audience, for
instance, accepts a new play with
favor, an audience from Denver will
go wildly enthusiastic over It.
There are two ways that this can
be put. One is-to localize it-that
If Greeley audience can see any
thing in the play, anybody can.
The other: If there is anything in
the play a Greeley audience will
see it.
Well, the Greeley audience did
see something in Florence Roberts
new play, and it is dead sure that
there is something in 1t. Two
thirds of the audience maintains
that it was the best thing they ever
saw Miss Roberts do. The other
third probably never saw her in any
other role, and would also probably
be satisfied to seen her again in the
same.
1t is a peculiar fact that Florence
Roberts has never had as large an
audience here as her plays deserve,
and Thursday night was no excep-
tion. The attraction was well ad-
vertised, although, probably a little
too late to do the most good. Then
too, the impression was general,
that as it was new play, it would
only be sort Of rehearsal, where
the actors had to be prompted right
along, and where the scenery would
squeak and refuse to move at the
proper time, ETC., etc. This Is not
so, however, as anybody who has had
the least inside insight In theatrical
matters knows we'll. Things are
we'll enough smoothed down by the
! first night, so that none but the ex-
pert will be able to detect the little
crudities that may crop out.
To the audience last Thursday
night it was perhaps as smooth a
performance as had ever been seen in
the local theatre. 1t should be,
with that company. 1t was one OF
the best balanced aggregations ever
seen here. The star was good, but
there was not SO much difference be-
tween her and other members of the
company that 1t was out of proper
tion, as Is usually the case.
Miss Roberts and her company
will probably be seen here again
late in the season. when she is likely
to receive hearty welcome.

new RAILROAD
FOR ELY DISTRICT
A Line Will Shortly Be Constructed
Connecting Ton0pah and Ely
With Salt Lake

The proposed railroad from Tonopah
to Ely is rapidly approaching what may
be considered a certainty Two distinct
lines have been surveyed. The survey
ing party has announced to- the ranch
ers with whom associations have been
had while the work was proceeding,
that this new road will make connec-
tions at Ely with Il road from Salt Lake
country.
The day is not far distant when there
will be a direct road extending from
Salt Lake to Ely (25o miles thence
to Tonopah GS5 miles,) thence to Gold
field twenty-five miles,l and from
Goldfield to the Greenwater district
(160 miles. and from the Greenwater
to Rhyolite.
Two direct lines are already under
construction between Goldfeld and the
Bullfrog district. Another has been
projected from Rhyolite in northeast
erly direction, direct to Ely, which will
open an entirely virgin and rich mining
section.
John w. Brock and associates, repre-
senting Philadelphia capitalists, includ
ing Charles NJ Schwab and associates,
who have built the Tonopah & Goldfield
railroad, are behind the projected line

ELY
GETTING IN SHAPE
A Strong Company With Sur
roundings that Promise
Success

The Federal-Ely Copper company Of
which Adrian c. Ellis, Jr., is president,
for some time past has been negotiat-
ing says the Salt Lake Tribuaa for the
purchase of the only remaining water
right within fifty miles of Ely, the
others having been purchase by the
Nevada Consolidated Monday, at
noon the company completed the pur-
chase of the Hueisser ranch, situate
fourteen miles from Ely ON the New
ada Northern railroad, Immediately
across from the McGill ranch, where
the Guggenheims are building their
smelters and concentrators. The wa
ter right has been patented for thirty
four years, and this is the first time
it has changed hands. At the low water
season the minimum flow is S74 miner S
inches per second. 1t is the intention
of the company to erect concentrator
plant for the treatment of its own ore,
with a capacity of 500 tons to start
with, which can be added to as circum-
stances require, after which it will need
sufficient water to lease or dispose of to
other companies in the treatment of
ores, to the extent of about 10, 900 tons
daily. The acquisition of the water
right puts the Federal Ely in position
that can only be enjoyed by the Cum
berland-Ely and Nevada Consolidated.
The acquisition of this water is an
invaluable asset to the Federal-Ely.
Monday the company let contracts for
the building of houses at its property,
also for hoisting plant, all of which
must be completed and ready for use
by February 1st. The company also let
a contract for a churn drill to be used
to determine the extent of the ore
bodies outside of the already proved
district. The drill will be shipped this
week and work will begin at once. The
company will send at least twenty more
miners down as soon as they can be
procured. This company has disposed
of its treasury stock and has ample
funds in the treasury for any amount
of development work. In the company
are such well-known mining, profession
al and business men as d. c. Jackling.
w. II. Dickerson, w. j. Craig, A. G..
Ellis, Jr., r. J. Evans, +. l.. Sheets and
others. The future of the Federal-Ely
is very bright, and it is in the direct
line of becoming one of Nevada s great
copper producers.

DENVER CAPITAL.
IN DOLLY WARDEN
Through his Agent, E. c. Mrez Mr..
Root Gain Control Of 1900 Acres
ofCOpper Ground in New District

r. 7. Root, the Denver capitalist,
has acquired extensive mining interests
in the Dolly Warden district through
his agent, E. C. krez, after a battle of
wits with the Giroux and Newhouse
interests. Mr.. Root, according to Mr..
Krez, owns 1000 acres Of Dolly Warden
mineral ground, including the great cop
per strike made at 70 feet. Arrange
ments have been made for extensive
development operations, and Dolly
Warden will soon become busy and
important camp.
Both the GirouX and the Newhouse
interests have made efforts to gain con-
troll of the best of the property at Dolly
Warden but Mr.. Root had a man in the
field seven or eight months ago, who
has since quietly acquired as much Of
the property as possible, without letting
it be known that he was acting for the
Denver capitalist.
A number of Ely men have holdings
at Dolly Warden, and the news that
abundant capital to bring the district
to the front is Forthcoming will be
gratifying news to them, as it is be-
lieved that it will be shown that Dolly
Warden copper deposit is not only high
grade proposition, but that there is an
extensive body of the ore in the district,
