The building Of the Nevada Northern

SOME BRIEF HISTORY.

Ely was discovered Ia the year 1868
by Eugen Robinson while the camp OF
Hamilton was IN the glory Of It's Won
derfu production, and for a period Mr..
Robinson worked IN the canyon In his
search FOR gold bearing properties. In
the year 1872. "Buckskin" Watson made
his advent into Robinson canyon and
located the famous Joanna mine. about
two miles west OF Ely. Mr.. Watson also
located the Pilot Knob mines nov
a part OF the Glroux COM and other
properties which IN later years came
into possession Of the Nevada Con-
solldated. In 1894 James McOmie. W
n. McGill and II. l.. Underwood located
the Chairman mine. In Robinson cam

miles west OF Ely Several years later
this mine was worked for sold by c. d,
Lane OF California, who failed owing

rendering treatment OF ore by the cyan
ide process impossible. Other attempts
were made 10 mine gold ore, but as
depth was attained It invariably turned

IN this respect for the record OF the
Highland Boy mine has been repeated
by the Chairman and other properties
at Ely.

IMPORTANT FOR UTAH,

The completion Of the Nevada North
ern railroad IL an important event for
Utah for II opens 10 development a rich
mineral region that is sure to result In
the bringing Of millions Of dollars
worth OF trade TO this state. II has
opened a new market for the products
OF the orchards and farms as well as all
kinds Of manufactured goods. Ely Is
destined 10 become a greater copper
district than Butte and Utah people
should not be slow TO appreciate this.
Ely has several big mines. among
them Is the Giroux Consolidated which
Is being equipped with a mill aud smell
ter. Some Of the eminent mining engi-
neers who have examined the ore de-
posts OF the Ely district declare that Il
is not unreasonable 20 expect that the
mines there will be producing as much
as 10000 tons per day within few
years
