Stone. Brick and Lumber Rolling
in For the New Structures on
ToWnlte..-Lab0r Very Scarce
CAN'T FIND MEN ENOUGH
Hunting for Laborers and Teams
ters to Hurry he Work on Streets
and Water System

Building operations are moving at
rapid rate at Ely City. Six car LOADS
of white granite from the stone quarry
at McGin's have already been received
at the townsite and the remainder Of
the POO car loads which will be needed
in the construction Of the 500, GEO stone
hotel will be rushed TO the ground as fast
as the men at the quarry can get it out
and load it upon cars. The grading Of
the foundation for this structure is
about completed and the stone masons
will be set at work within few days.
Work on the building will be pressed
through the winter. Mr.. William Uim
of the townste company has had some
experience in the building line in Mon
tana and says that cold weather will
not interfere with building opera tons
here. "Montana is a colder country than
eastern NaV &da he said, land we were
able to go ahead with important build
ing operations all through the winter
weather. 1t will be the same here, but
under far better conditions. Before
spring, we will be able to show sub
stantis.l achievements in the building
line. Just now we are greatly in need
of men, particularly carpenters, to work
upon temporary houses to shelter the
workmer, and laborers to dig the tren-
ches and lay the pipe fer the water
works. We have plenty of work for
all the men who come along.
w. j. Palmer, president of the Ely
City townsite company, left for New
York on Saturday morning, after hav-
ing looked over the field and assisted in
the arrangements for fastening the
work of getting things in shape for the
great building rush that will take place
in the spring.
When the spring activities begin, the
townsite company expects to have all
the streets graded, the water and sew
er systems installed, and comfortable
and ample accommodations for business
men who come upon the field to build,
but must seek hotel accommodations
until they are able to complete their
stores and homes.
Building material is arriving at the
townsite by the car load every day.
Ten car loads of pressed brick and two
car loads of cement have already ar
rived. On Saturday, bills were receiv
ed for 127 car loads of lumber and
shingles, ten car loads of piping for the
water system, and car of corrugated
iron. This means that many train loads
of material are on the way here, in 2d-
dition to sixty car loads shipped some
time ago.
The townsite company now has TWEEN
ty-six teams for which it has been un-
able to get teamsters.
Representative of the company are
endeavoring to recruit workmen from
various points, and inside OF a few
weeks about 200 men will be kept busy
at work at the townsite. Men are
being employed as fast as they apply
for work there,

MR.. CHARLES ]. DUMAS
IMPRESSIONS OF ELY
He Tells the Same Story That Men Of Busness S
sagacity Tell and Will Return in the Spring
to Take Hand

Mr.. Charles J. Dumas, the eastern
business associate of Mr. Houlder Hudg
ms, editor of THE NEWS, came in from
New York on Saturday and stopped off
at the smelter site until Monday, when
he came to Ely. Mr.. Dumas is a gen
tleman of large experience in the bust
ness world, especially along the Allan
tic coast, but he is wonderfully impress
ed with the west. He was seen by a
NEWS reporter Monday and requested
to give his impressions of what he has
seen in Nevada and this is what he said:
"On that portion Of my trip west Of
Omaha l chatted with many passengers.

they displayed of the mining industry
generally and more than surprised at
the knowledge shown of the Robinson
district of which Ely is the center. |

yers, physicians and other professional
men in Denver and other western cities

establish agencies here. | am convin-
ced by what little | have seen and
heard of conditions that within five
years Ely will develop into an impor-
tant city with all the comforts and even
luxuries to which the residents OF the
great communities Of the country are
accustomed.
These impressions We're strengthened
by the evideace presented to me OF the
vast amount of money that is to be eS-
pended in connection with the conatrue-
ton of the gigantic smelter plant at
what is now called McGill's ranch.
In New York | was told by a promi-
nent official of the American Smelling
& Refining Company that the mining
property in conjunction with which the
smelter plant is to be operated repre-
sents investment of not less than

this enormous sum has been paid In by
some of the shrewdest and most far
sighted capitalists in the United states
and that too, with thorough reaiiZ2-

elapse before the enterprise will yield
any return, one can scarcely conceive
of what the profits Of the enterprise
will be.

rE PINE COUNTY, NEVADA TUESDAY. DECEMBER is, 1906
LOpef'S Mad Race TO
Escape Sheriff Baird

Sheriff Baird has returned from Black
horse, having been unable to capture
Fred Loper. the man who shot "Seotty'
Williams, the Blackhorse saloon keeper.
On reaching the scene OF the shooting.
Sheriff Baird at once took Loper's trail
but found that the fugitive, in his wild
rush to get away xeam the clutch Of
the law, had changed horses three times
in sprint of forty miles. That would
be at the rate of more than seven times
in a hundred miles and would land him
in Utah before the sheriff could hope to
overtake him. Sheriff Baird according
ly returned to Ely and began to work
the telegraph wires to have the man
apprehended. 1t is probable that Loper
will be taken into custody in few days
as it is believed that he has headed to
his old haunts in Utah.

LUMBER COMES IN,
BUILDINGS GO Up
Supplies Received at the Differ
emf Yards Relieve the Situation
Temporarily, More expected

A few ear loads of lumber received
during the past few days temporarily,
relieved the building tie up and other
cars are coming in. The music of the
hammer is ringing all over the town.
1t is expected that within a few days
there will be abundant material for all
Of the buildings which have been de-
laved because of the lumber famine.
The Ely Lumber & Coal Co., has re-
ceived eight cars of lumber, with notice
that more will soon be here. The
Fccles Lumber Co, has been assured
that at least Is ears of material will be
here in the course of a week. Mana
ger Carbon says that of 1,500, 600 feet
of feet of lumber ordered some time
ago 750, 900 feet are still ION wheels, -
that is, in freight cars on their way
here.
II. r. Hoffman, of the Shelton
Hoffman Lumber Co. stated that ne IS
still swamped with ordered which he is
unable to fill, his recent supplies gong
to persons who bought material SIX
weeks ago.
The lumber famine sometimes takes
amusing turns. The contractors upon
new buildings are particularly in need
of 1.-TWO by fours," timbers used in the
frame work of houses. On Friday, one
of the lumber companies announced
that it had received a ear load of these
1.-TWO by fours" and would divide them
pro rate among the contractors. A
number Of the contractors at once went
with teams to the siding where the car
was standing, so as to be at the cere-
mony of opening the precious freight
and Incidentally not to get left IN the
division. When the car door was
pushed aside, the eXpectant contractors
beheld 20,000 grade stakes neatly piled
in the interior What they said would
not be fit for publication in this great
religious newspaper. And the. worst
of it was that persons who are impati,
entity waiting for the completion of
buildings would not believe that The
car contained grade stakes and taxed
the contractors with the treachery OF
favorng other customers.
1t is probable that the contractors
and the persons who are putting up
buildings will say that this isn'ta funny
story, but it is, just the same.

Rapid Rate
DANGER or CHiMNEYS
Need Of Cooperation on the Part of
Builders With the Work of
the Fire Fighters

Subscriptions to the fund for pur-
chasing proper equipment for the Ely
fire department have been prompt and
liberal. j. A. Fcsler, who has charge
OF the collection Of subscriptions, is
much gratihed al the enthusiasm dis
played by the business men of the camp
in the matter Of providing Ely with
the right sort of ire lighting apparatus.
While the citizens are subscribing
literally to the fund for equipping the
fire department.. the attention of the
News has been called to the need of
cooperation on the part of the builders
with the work of the volunteer fire
fighters. II has been suggested that
care in putting up buildings, and es-
peeially in the construction Of substan-
tial chimBeys, will do much toward pre-
venting fires.
Subscristions to the FIRE lighting fund
SO far are as follows

Ter 500: II. O. Hall q Co Sl00; +. NJ.

Mr.. iiouSeWorlh Is special agent OF
the Liverpool, London & Globe lnsur-
ance company, and one of his first acts
On reaching Ely, was to subscribe to
the fund, upon reading Of it in The
NEWS.
While the fire department, aided by
public spirited citizens, is working on
plans to aid in The protection Of Ely from
danger Of fires, persons who are erect
ing houses should contribute their share
in these efforts in building safe chin
neys. There have been several small
blazes of late, due to the practice of
running stove pipes from stoves through
roofs Of houses. The Dickerson resi-
dence ard the llareiile residence are
among The houses that have been en-
dangered from this source The pipes
between the ceilings and the roof start
ed fires which but for the prompt at
tention Of the volunteer fire fighters,
might have resulted seriously.
These blazcs should serve as a warn
ing of the danger of not providing sub
atantial chimneys Plenty Of brick and
stone can be obtained in the camp, and
The right sort Of chiunegs should be
constructed before the camp receives
a aeverer laseon than the little smudges
so far.

wyoming in Conaress-

Wyoming certainly has good reason
to be proud of her congressional dele.
cation, and the splendid work done
during the last session has resulted in
much good for our state. Wyoming got
more several times over per capita for
her representation in congress than any
other state in the union, both as to
number Of projects and in amount of
money appropriated, and as summed
up by The Laramie Republican she
stands strictly No. 1.-PiIedale
Roundup.
No one who is versed in the matter
of the efficiency of our representatives
in congress will dispute the foregoing
statements relative TO Congressman
Mondell The writer has had excellent
opportunities to observe the work of
congressman generally during the last
four sessions of congress, having serv-
ed during that time as private secre.
tary to a member of congress, and at
the same time acted as Washington
correspondent for a syndicate of west
ern newspapers.
While in Washington IL attention
was frequently attracted by the ener-
getic and effective efforts of Congress
man Mondell of Wyoming, although at
that time We had no thought of locating
in this state. He unhesitatingly meas
ured swords with the most formidable
debaters in congress, and because of
his remarkable familiarity with west
ern affairs and interests, and his mas
terry of problems pertaining to the pub
lie domain, he usually carried his point.
The virility of the man, his ready grasp
of practical questions, and his aggres-
siveness make him a valuable servant
of the state of Wyoming-in fact he is
well-nigh Indispensable.
As to Jul senators they are as promi-
nent in the senate as Mondell is in the
house, Being men of great ability,
character and influence, they WELD
much power in national affairs. They
are recognized as factors to be reckon
ed with in all important legislativemat,
ters Of national scope and Importance.
