Many buildings that would be rushed
to completion at an early date are tied
up because of the scarcity of building
material. All of the lumber yards are
swamped with orders that they cannot
fill. This shortage will temporarily
check Ely's whirlwind growth, but
speedy relief is expected
There are several reasons for this
scarcity of material. In the first place,
the saw mills from which Ely's sup
plies of lumber are drawn are crowded
with orders from the numerous booming
camps of Nevada and in addition to
this the railroads find it difficult TO sup
ply the cars needed lin moving the
great quantities of freight destined for
Ely and other camps that are being
bulded up as fast as human energy can
build them
The local situation has the added
complication of great activity among
the mining companies in the building
line. In one day during the week, the
Taylor Engineering Co, which is put
ting up the GirouX concentration at n
lot Knob, swooped down upon one OF
the lumber yards for 100000 feet OF
lumber and placed other big orders
which considerably reduced the avail
able supply for contractors engaged on
structures in town,
I'VE are doing all we can to get in
new supplies of material, - said H. W.
Culbertson, manager of the Ely Lum-
ber and Coal Co., but we find it not
only hard to get lumber from the mills,
but equally hard to get it here after we
have bought it. There is big demand
for all sorts of building material. y

CONTRACTORS SCRAMBLE FOR
BUILDING MATER|AL--|T IS SCARCE

1T is the hardest sort of work get
ting orders filled by the saw mills, -
said j. H. Carbon, of the Eccles Lum-
ber Co. THE output of most of the
Truckee mills has been contracted for
by Goldfeld and Tonopah builders, and
we find that we can get scarcely scrap
of lumber from that source. 1t is al
most as difficult proposition with the
mills in other places. AS an example,
we ordered II car loads of lumber from
the Feather River Lumber Co. at Clair
vile, Cal, on August Ia. This concern
had the material on hand, ready to sell
to us. Last night, two months after
our order was turned in, | received a
letter from the company stating that it
had at last secured three of the II cars
and would Immediately bill them for
Ely.
an order to get material, we are in
daily correspondence with The mills.
They let us know when they have on
hand any sort Of lumber not called for
in orders filed with them, and in that
way we pick out here and there what
we need. But after thus finding Il
source of supply, we are brought face
to face with the equally serious problem
of getting freight cars to bring the
