ciablv on Monday when the Railroad
Dsv'' "holdovers" from the outside
began to pick up parcels Of property
In addition to this number of Ely
business men have commenced build
ings that had been held bae}, until The
arrival of the Nevada Nort aern.
Besides the new structure of the
Graham Mercantile Co. and the other
six buildings going up il Aultman
street. there are building operations in
every direction.
A.. A. MARSHALL is building large brick
house on his Murry Creek property
near where Messrs. Ellis, D. S. Dick
erson, Tom O'Neil and others will put
up costly homes. Other strue cures,
mainly of business nature, are to go
up in the vicinity of the Court House.
Dickerson & Ellis, II. c. Herrick &
Co. and Fulmer & Ives reported brisk
demand for building lots during the
week. Sales were made in the various
additions and in the business section Of
the town, among which was the trans
fer by Dickerson & Ellis to Mr.. Nye,
of Ogden, of lots in Aultman street for
a store building which Mr.. Nye con
templates.
There was also brisk inquiry for
ground on the new Ely Townsite, but
representatives Of the company said
there would be no lots for sale until the
water and sewage systems were well
under way.
For nearly week, Ely has enjoyed
the new railroad-the line built with
the sole idea of getting into this camp
and for no other reason, although The
track passes through rich mining, cat
tie and farming regions which in them
selves would make railroad prosper
Gus.
During the first few days following
Railroad Day" the citizens of Ely
took delight in its possession apart
from thoughts of It's utility and its
power in sharpening the future, hut
now things are settling down to . work
a-day basis, trains are running On
schedule time and new people afe flow
ing in. The forces of steel and steam
are working to hurry Ely to its destined
eminence in the world, 10 the proud
position predicted for the camp by taa
eminent speakers Oh Railroad Day.
These predictions bore the stamp of
authority. Every speaker was . man
who had achieved success in Efo, aad
won the confidence OF theit associates
in business and Of the general public.
Their words were the "coined gold ei
human utterarce, convincing words,
such as have been spoken Of few places
in all the world.
Men who had spent years here We're
stunned at the picture OF the future
city painted for them. They had known
Ely's daily life intimately but then
imaginations had not fully grasped ths
magnitude of the vast natural force:
that are working beneath the hills foi
Ely.
Some of the distinguished men whc
were expected here to participate II
the celebration We're not able to cons
and wrote or wired messages Of regret

Railroad Day" by Mr.. j. S. Harville
of the Committee on Invitation.
