Reception in Honor
of Louis Fraser

The dance given Tuesday even

in attendance, and royal good
time was enjoyed by all.
Mr.. Frazer was presented with
a handsome gold watch, locket
and chain as II testimonial of the
regard and esteem Of the men
who worked in the mines under
him. Mr.. Elliott made the pre-
sentation speech, and in 4 very
feeling manner referred to the
kind and considcrate treatment

one Of the best mine superinten-
dents in The state. Mr.. Frazer,
in a few we'll chosen remarks,
thanked his former employees

all, for the good will and kindly
feelings which prompted It's

Laying Rails on
Nevada Northern

A special dispatch to the Des-
eret News, dated Ogden, March
2. says: O. c.. Larsen, formerly
connected with the Southern Pa
cific here, but now with the Ne
vada Northern at Cobre, Nevada,
arrived in Ogden. yesterday for
week 5 visit with relatives.
Mr.. Larsen states that the laying
of steel was resumed yesterday
on the line running to Ely, a
distance of 20 miles, upon which
nearly all the grading has been
completed. The company ex-
poets to lay the rails at the rate
of one and one-half miles per
day, although the Harris track
laying machine has a capacity of
three miles per day.
Material with which to com
plete SO miles Of track is now on
hand at Cobre and an additional
amount to cover another % miles
is en- route. 1t is expected that
the line to Ely will be completed
by June /, after which an addl-
tional 10 miles running to the
mines will be laid. The latter
stretch is said to run through Il
location which will ncceSsltate
the handling of great deal OF
rock by the builders.

MANY IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE DEALS
CONTINUE TO BE- MADE

be borne in mind that some town
must be established close to the
mines, where the workmen can
live close to their place of occu-
patton. Quite a few residents of
Ely have taken advantage Of the
opportunity aud gotten in on the
ground floor,
1t is predicted by some of the
best informed men of the dis
trict that the population be-
tween the mines and the smoltees
with Elg rs a center, will in the
next year equal 10000, and that
two years hence it is not improb
able that the population will

company's mines, and in this
larger field Of action, his work
has been the same as in the
smaller, always thorough, eff

Mr.. Gray sewers his connec-

to private interests. which are
quite extensive and demand his
whole attention. General Mana

BUTTE 4 ELY
COPPER co.
Developing Group of Twelve Mining
Claims in Robinson District
Which Give Great
Promise

Another copper property in
which Butte men are heavily in
terested and which is undergo
ing development is that of the
Butte Il Ely Copper company,
incorporated under the laws of
Montana with Il capital stock of
800, 900 shares CT Il par value of
81 each. The company has ac-
qulred by purchase and location
"a group Of twelve promising
claims III the heart of the Rob
lnson mining district near Ely,
White Pine county, Nevada.
The property Of the Nevada
Consolidated Copper ad joins the
Butte Il Ely ON the east, while
the GirouX Consolidated adioins
1t on the west. Both of these
properties are fairly well devel
oped and have an immense ton
mage OF commercial copper ore
blocked out in their workings, an
estimate of competent experts
giving the Nevada Consolidated
company 5 Ruth and Eureka
mines alone the enormous guam
tity OF 10000 tons. AS soon
as the railroad, now being con-
structCd between Toana and Ely,
Il distance Of l6O miles, is finish
ed the Nevada Consolidated will
erect Il 22,50O-ton concentrator
and SmCltcr, the contract for the
material and IN achinery for them
having been let.
The Butte Il Ely company
placed a block OF its stock on the
New York market recently to
raise money for development
and it was all taken by strong
financial interests, which with
the Butte stockholders, will open
up the immense ore deposits un-
derlying the group. 1t is the in
tention of the company to thor
oughly develop It's ground before
listing it on the New York and
Boston markets, and as it now
has an ample fund for this pur-
pose and also strong financial
backing, it is safe to predict that
the Butte & Ely will soon be
heard from as another large pro-
ducer of copper. 1t is predicted
by engineers and experts who
have examined the Ely district
that in point OF copper produc-
ton the Ely zone will eclipse all
others. The ore deposits occur
in huge east and west dyke of
monzonlte more than
seven miles long, from 800 to
1000 feet wide and, as far as de-
more than 500 feet deep.
The copper is in the form Of sui
phides finely disseminated
the rock, which will
average, so the company claims,
about :" per cent and concentrate
from : to 10 into |. The cost of
and extraction will be
low compared to that Of other
copper districts. Several new

recently to develop

booming now and things will

and shall probably remain, for
that is going to be good coun-
try in which TO make money.
All travel is now by way of
Eureka, to which point you go
by the way Of the Southern Pa
cifc and Eureka & Palisade rail
roads. From Eureka to Ely the
distance by stage is about ninety
miles, and so congested has traf-
fic become that it is hard to get
accommodations. Millionaire
investors, experts and agents of
operators from all parts of the
country; men from New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles, Tonopah,
Butte, in fact everywhere, are
rolling into Eureka every day
and paying all kinds of money
to get special accommodations
and facilities with which to reach
the camp of Ely. The scenes
both at Eureka and Ely are cleo
trlfying, to say the least.
There is a telephone line be-
tween Eureka and Ely, but no
telegraphic service. Messages
received at Eureka are telephon-
ed to Ely, while messages sent
out from camp are all telephoned

and from there forwarded to
their destination. And, while
there Is not much privacy in do

here, that no such winter as the
present one, has prevailed in
this part of Nevada since 1890.
J ust as the ground was drying
up and the roads becoming pass
able, two storms have ensued.
Still with all this hindrance to
newcomers reaching the camp,
considerable activity has pre-
vailed in real estate matters,
Mr.. Cline, of Goldfeld, has
during the week, bought from
DIR. Simpson lot 6, block T, for
81, $50. Mr.. Cline can be con
graduated in obtaining Il Main
street lot at such price. IL is
Mr.. Cline's intention to improve
this lot with good business
building just as soon as material
for the same can be obtained.
He is one of Goldfeld's success
full merchants, and is well known
in that camp. 1t is his intention
to Immediately return, together
with his wife, to Ely, where he
will establish himself in bust
ness. Mr.. Cline states that a
great number of the most promi
nent men of Goldfield will soon
be on the road to look into the
merits of this camp in a mining
and business way.
Probably no town in Nevada
has more progressive and up
to-date lot of residents than
Goldfield. They will make u
most desirable addition to the
population of Ely. and if those
who contemplate coming to Ely,
are of the same character as
those who have already taken up
erresidence here, Ely will most
certainly welcome them.
While there has been several
other sales, the particulars of
which are not obtaina BILE, there
has been firm undertone dur
ing the week. 1t is hardly to be
expected that $500 deal such
as was recently made by w. B.
Graham, will be a matter of oc-
currence every day. 1t must be
remembered that the population
of Ely to date, about 1000, is
only a small part of the mum bers
that will be found in this
town when the roads are
in shape for travel, 1t is only
the hardest and more determin
ed men that are coming in now
under these prevailing cOndi-
tions. While prices for town
lots may be considered high,
the present new comers will be
considered ground floor men by |
the end of ninety days.
To show the activity in real
estate, it is current that a tract
of so acres adjoining the eastern
surveyed line of the present
toWnsitc, is to be subdivided and |
placed at once upon the market. |
Undoubtedly great scram bic |
will cnsue for lots in this new ad
dition.
During the last week, deals
have been closed by those enter
prising Goldfeld men, Andy
Fesler and TEX Rickard, for
the Lane City townsite. Word /
was received during the week +
from Goldfeld, that twenty lots
had been sold in this townsite 1T
5000 each, on the hrst day that
lots were offered for sale. Lane
CITY is destined to become Il town
of miners home. 1t lies three
miles west of Ely, and is beau
tifully situated at point where
Robinson canyon opens out to
