ENJOYED RIVER RIDE
Pleasant Experience Of a Prominent New

Pleasant Experience Of a Prominent New
Jersey Man.
"a delightful ride and an experience
never expected, - was heard from a
passenger on the steamboat Ulrica of
the Wilmington & New jersey Ferry
Co., as the steamboat landed at the
KING street wharf from New Jersey
yesterday.
The speaker was Isaac Summerhill,
a resident of New Jersey, who has
crossed the river to this city for many
years in sail and roWboats and passen-
ger steamers, but who never had the
opportunity Of crossing the river on
January 23d in a vessel before.
The steamer brought small excur-
sion from the east side Of the river to
this city. Many persons took advan-
tage OF the day, fearing that the good
weather would not last much longer.

the alleged richness of the re-

plenty of evidence that the ledge

may be high grade only in places,

any number of the lucky ones,

a bond and lease on two of the

siders himself fortunate in hav-
ing tied up a bonanza. Develop
ments, which will commence at

ever, and rumors of new strikes

GETTING SOLID WITH ELY
The Vast Tonnage Of Eys Great Copper Mines Starts the
Project of Direct Railroad to Salt Lake

ger along for few years, till our
mines get fairly started, but when
ever we get 80 to so steam shovels
at work on Our stupendious copper
deposit, as they are now working on
the great iron deposits of the Pewa-
bic iregion, the camp will need to
have its railroad facilities quadrup-
led, and even then we can swamp
them all with tonnage.
We are not criticising Judge
Goodwin's valued editorial i'll a
carping spirit at all. We appreci-
ate his effort to help Salt Lake, by
making itself solid with Ely, but
we venture to think that if he had
figured little on the astonishing
tonnage contained in a body of ore
known to be at least one mile wide
and seven miles long, and extend
ing to unknown depths, he would
have urged the building of a four
track road at once, instead of tim
idly suggesting single track
line.
The thing for Salt Lake, Los An
geles, San Francisco, Denver, and
Pueblo to do, is to figure on the
tonnage contained in our astounding
copper deposit, and then hurry up
and make themselves solid with Ely,
by building some railroads to our
modest little camp.

Nevada Con. Affairs.

Recent buying of Nevada Con-
solidated, has been based upon a
report from F. w. Bradley, pres
ident of the Bunker Hill & Sui
livan Co., who is consulting en-
gineer of the Nevada Consolidat-
ed Co., says a Boston paper.
This report estimates that
there are 22,OOO,OOO tons Of ore
now in sight in the property
5000, 900 in the Ruth mine which
will assay fifty pounds to the ton,
and 100000 tons in the Cop
per Flat mines which will assay
forty pounds to the ton.
With a $500 ton plant, as auth
orized, Mr.. Bradley figures that
the copper output of the Nevada
Consolidated should be 30,000,-
600 pounds per annum, and that
as soon as the plant is in opera
ton, we can safely consider that
steps will Immediately be taken
to double the capacity of the
plant.
He estimates that with $500
tons being mined and treated per
day, Nevada Consolidated COP
per can be delivered and sold in
New York on a total cost of Z
cents per pound, upon which
basis, figuring at Is cents per
pound and 5000, 900 output,
= the company can earn 50, 400,-
600, or $2 per share.
Present prospects are, however
that by the time this takes place,
control of fhe Nevada Consoli-
dated Company will be safely
lodged with the American Smelt.

We reproduce, elsewhere in this
;ssue an editorial suggestion from
the gifted pen of Judge c. c. Good
win, in the Salt Lake Telegram, =
urging the immediate construction
of a direct line across the desert
from the city of the latter day saints
to Ely.
Judge Goodwin, the most thought
fui and gifted writer of the west,
and known to the American press
as the '1iberator of Utah." has al
wavs been a staunch friend of Ne
vada. and has advocated its inter
ests equally with those of Utah, but
in this case he is advocating both
together. His comprehensive mind
is better able than most minds to
grasp the Importance to Salt Lake,
of direct short line from the great
mines of Ely, to the 'smelters OF the
Salt Lake valley. Such road, lib
erally constructed and energetically
and intelligently managed, would
unquestionably make Salt Lake the
greatest smelling point in all the
world.
Utah has the coal and Ely has
the ore-it has the ore to supply,
exclusively, the ten largest shelters
in the world to-day, and keep them
in continuous operation for 500
years.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-03-27

The evidences multiply that
the mines at Ely, Nevada, are
perhaps the most extensive and
will be the longest lived of any
yet discovered in this inter noun
tain country. 1t seems certain
that a city will be built there as
large as Butte, Or as was Vir-
ginia City, in bonanza days. The
ores are low-grade, and notwith-
standing the use of steam shov-
els, will require multitude of
men to handle them.
Well. Salt Lake City should
have the trade of that camp.
There is but one certain way ito
secure it, that is to build q road
to it. The distance would be
seventy miles beyond the west
line of Utah, or say a triflle oyer
200 miles to this city. But such
a road would not only command
Ely, but Deep Creek, Furber,
Kearn, Shellbourne, and half Il
dozen more districts. With fifty
six pound rails, or eighty eight
tons to the mile, the rails at $40
per ton would cost $500 per
mile; the ties would cost $1400
per mile; fish plates, spikes, etc,
$500 per mile; grading not to ex-
ceed $500 per mile; laying track
and ballasting, S400 per mile;
telegraph, 500 per mile; water
and water tanks, say 5000 per
mile; stations, say 800 per mile,
or a total of $772O per mile, or
for 200 miles $l,544,OOO. TO this
would haye to be added the cost
of probably fifteen locomotives
and the needed freight and bag
gage cars and three or four pas
senger cars, say in all 1856, 600,
making the total cost $1,000, 900.
/ There are twenty men in this
city who could do that work and
not feel it. They could be sure,
too, that on completion they
could sell their road for from 200
to 400 per cent advance. They
would know, too, that if they
would put in $4,000 apiece and
start the work in real earnest,
they could easily place 5 per cent
bonds for the whole amount at
par.
In that event they would have
to pay 100000 per annum in in
terest, Twenty per cent on
the cost would be 100000 per
annum. The road would pay
them above operating expenses
and interest quite 5 per cent on
the whole cost of the road. And
that would require in revenues
from the road less than $1,000 per
i day. The passenger fare at
three cents mile would pay that.
1t would require but 100 passen
gers daily each way.

| would be Hanked by the roads
would ship in for reduction quite
300 (probably 10000 tons per day.
At So per ton that would give
$500 per day. Quite 400 tons of
coal would be shipped out daily.
That at 50 per ton would add
$500 more. Then there would
be the machinery, the mining
supplies. the merchandise, the
mails, the express to ship out;
the sheep, wool and beef of east
ern Nevada to ship in. In the
old days it required thirty three
trains daily between Carson and
Virginia City to carry supplies to
the Comstock.
In estimating the cost the work
of engineers is not included, but
that would not be a large item,
for the country is an open one
not presenting one engineering
difficulty. After leaying the
Jordan no bridges and but few
culverts would be needed. The
right of way would cost nothing
beyond Garfield point, and we
presume the owners of the Salt
air road would be glad to join in
the enterprise, or traffic ar
rangement could be made with
Mr.. Clark as far as Stockton,
nearly one-fourth of the way.
But some people will say "A
road is now being built from To
ano to Ely and the Western Pa
cific will flank the Deep Greek
country and adjacent districts.
That is true, but the Toano
road will be hut a feeder for the
the Southern Pacific, and the
benefits will go to San Francisco
and Omaha, not to Salt Lake.
The Western Pacific at it's near
est point will be 110 miles from
Ely district. We are speaking
for Salt Lake. for her trade, her
prestige, her schools, her people.
With a direct road from this city
to Ely the families of the miners
would live here, where the chill
dren could attend school; many
miner would buy home here;
this would be the depot and
clearinghouse for the great
camp. 1t would be a bonanza
for this city and it wonld be ac-
complished if there was half as
much pluck here as there is
money.
We believe the grading could
be done by men who would take
stock in the road for pay; that
the steel men would take stock
for half the value of their rails.
We believe the mines would con-
tribute 100000 worth of ore.
The coal companies in this region
ought to subscribe for 25 per cent
of the stock. The thing could
be done if only few men here
would determine to have it done.
