The business woman" has found
Ely. In truth, one woman with talent
for business discovered the camp long
item ago and has already made her for
tune, living now upon an ample income
IN the sunshine of Del Monte, Cal. This
was Miss Ellen Hayes.
Miss Hayes in many respects is re.
inarkable woman. Intensely religious,
and the builder of the first church in
Ely, she is clear sighted, practical, and
successful in business. She came to Ely
many years ago from her home in Ire
land, and on the death of her brother,
William Hayes. took charge of the
HAYES Cash Store, the Hayes Park Ho-
tel and other interests, displaying in all
Of her dealings with the world great
managerial ability and shrewdness. She
sold the store and hotel a short time
ago for $4,000, but this substantial
sum was merely an item in her posses
slons. When she grows tired of travel
and the luxury of hotel life at fashion
able resorts, she says she will return
TO Ely and devote her time to works of
philanthropy, which have occupied her
thoughts for years.
Miss Hayes came of a family of eccle-
tlasts, which has produced priests and
devout Catholics for generations. Her
fehglous leanings therefore are both
hereditary and temperamental. When
she came into Ely a generation ago,
with her brother. they opened laundry

But .vexing problems in getting in her
furniture delayed Mrs Lawlor, and it
was not until short time ago that she
was able to open the place. In few
days she had the rooming house filled to
its capacity and it was compelled to
turn persons away.
Had it not been for women, in fact,
the preparations for the newcomers, who
are. hurrying into the camp on every
train, would have been considerably
more meagre than they were Mrs.
Scott, early in the spring. while men

roomlng houses upon her ground in High
street The lumber was all hauled into
the camp at great expense by team,
and the house cost her a pretty penny
before she at last took possession But
building was opened, and has been filed
since that time. Mrs. Scott, in her en-
terprise, had other ideas than making
money. and not only had the house com,
ffortably furnished, but painted as well.
For some time it was one of the best.

HEAVY RAIN STORM.
Lightning Sets Fire to Barn, Which
Is Destroyed.

Huntsville September 2.-(special.)-
A great deal. of damage was done north
and south of Huntsville yesterday by an
unusually heavy precipitation of rain that
approached a cloudburst in severity. All
streams were out OF banks a short time
after the rain and lowlands were flooded,
cotton and corn crops in those localities
being damaged considerably. Cattle and
hogs were drowned and fences and bridges
washed away.
An electrical storm preceded the down.
pour of rain and many telephones were
put out of business. The service of the
light company in Huntsville was crippled.
At Coalton. northwest of Huntsville a
bolt of lightning struck and destroyed the
barn of j. b. Nelson. causing a loss of
about $1,000. A valuable horse was killed
by the same bolt and his body was burned
in the barn.
