Mr.. A. G. Corbett, manager OF the
Ely Townsite &C., was seen yesterday
and asked what was going on at Il e
townsite.
Lots of things" replied Mr.. Cor
bett. He said that the official plat
would be filed this week and his COM
pany had received the United States
patents for the 1000 acres of land the
town will occupy and that many things
will be moving there within few days.
He said that Thompson and Gum would
begin the erection of splendid busi-
ness block as soon as material can be
had and that his company would start
in to tuild hotel near the depot in g
few days. The structure will be mod
ern in every particular, three stories
and basement high, built of white sand
stone from the quarries at Currie's S
ranch and the company will commence
the shipment of stone as soon as the
Nevada Northern has the sidings in.

contained the information that the
gentleman would commence immedi-
ately the construction of an Episcopal
church building of modern architecture
and IN every way fitted for house of
worship large enough for city of 20,-
900 people. Continuing, Mr.. Corbett
said: ''There will be plenty doing in
few DAYS and if we have anything like
an open winter, spring will show city
of magnificent proportions on the west

The greatest harmony prevails among
the stockholders and everything indl-
Gates that q water and sewer system

ACTIVITY AT
SHELTER site
There Are $50 Men Working There
Now...Rapid Progress Being
Made on Plant

There is great activity at the smelter
site at McGill's. One hundred and
fifty men are on the pay roll and build
ings are springing up and the excava-
ton for the big plant is being rushed.
The company is installing water pipe
line from Duck Creek to the site and
will in that way convey water into
every building of the company and into
the buildings of the commissary. There
will also soon be installed an $40 light
electric plant. Mr.. Hudgins, the
commissary contractor at the site, is
erecting buildings, sanitary in every
particular, as fast as lumber can be
secured, and at present is feeding the
new town and everyone in it with sat
isfaction to all concerned.
Some idea of what Ely's new smell
ter will be can be gained by a COM
parison with the great Washoe smelter,
which was built at cost of SO, 500, 600.
The Ely smelter will cost $40, 900, 900,
and will be larger and arranged accord
ing to the most advanced ideas of the
science of smelling. The Washoe plant
employs 1887 men in the works and 376
IN auxiliary industries. Ely's smelter,
because OF its greater size, will en-
ploy more men.
Last year the Washoe smelter pro-
duced ten and half per cent. of the
worlds supply of copper and 20 per
cent of the production of the United
States. The smelter receives an aver
age OF 5000 tons of ore day, or about
