Getting Wise TO Ely

The arson City News OF
June ,, features an interview
with recently returned visitor
to Ely, who has this to say If
the camp:
Ely appears to be destined to
be one of the largest if not the
largest aud most prosperous
camps in Nevada, although, ow.
ing largely to the fact Of it's in
accessibility, it is not at the
present time experiencing the
rapid growth that has charac-
terized the newer camps of the
State. This, however, will come
with the advent of the railroad
which is now expected to be com
pleted by the middle of August.
The freight proposition has been
thorn in the side of the bust
ness people for the past eight or
nine months and even Wells,
Fargo & Co. have been weeks
behind in delivery Of express
matter from Austin, the nearest
railway station. They have now
put on special stage and have
the situation we'll in hand.
THE town of Ely now affords
one of the most alluring oppor-
tunities for business investment
in the State. AS a matter of
fact there exists an opening for
almost every line of trade and
those now in business in the
camp are already reaping a har-
vest. The mines surrounding
the camp not only present an
immense low grade copper prop
osition, which, owing to the
large number of men which must
necessarily be employed in the
mining and reduction of ore, al
ways make a prosperous camp,
but samples are continually COM
ing in from surrounding districts
which show returns in gold and
silver.
"For the prospective investor,
now is the time to get in before
the railroad comes with its easy
facilities for travel and the con
scuuent influx of people, Ely is
now the home of two banking
institutions headed by some o.
the most conservative banking
men of this State and Utah
which in itself is strong indi
cation of the future outlook 0
the camp.
i THE camp is. reached eithe

WAGE SCALE IN
CAMP OF FAIRVIEW
The Miners Are Not Acceded TO
By the Owners.

According to information that
comes from Fairview the miners of
the camp are meeting with some
opposition from the operators in the
matter of fixing the wage scale.
The men wish to retain the S.. SO
scale while the employers say they
can't afford to open up and develop
their mines unless the scale is re-
duced to at least 81 day.
Il think the matter will be annie
ably settled said f. L. Stewart
to the Carson News. The miners
are we'll organized and I think are
i'll position to enforce their demands,
but their leaders want to have har
mony. Last week the matter was
threshed over several times and
while couple of operators threaten
ed to close down all work, | hardly
think any of the larger companies
will do this.
Just now Fairview is an eXpen-
sive camp i'll which TO live. Con-
sequently the miners demand high
er wages than are paid in the south
crn country. As SOON as the rail
road gets into Fallon and there is a
better freight service into the camp
the cost of board and lodging will
be necessarily decreased.
''If the men enforce the 81, so a
day schedule it would not surprise
me to see it cut to s. within the
year.
Mr.. Stewart says the Western
Federation of Miners has member
ship in Fairview of about ESQ ard
as men and that practically every
mine in the district employs none
but unionists.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
(By Allen c. Bragg

class of twenty hive young men
and women was graduated from
the University proper, and al
most as many more were given
diplomas from the Normal
school. The closing events of
the year were marked by the
usual pleasant features of Com
mencement Week and by the
quite unusual, for the Nevada in
stitutiOnl at least, annouce-
ment of numerous gifts and be-
quests. The most important Of
these is the promise of a fifty
thousand dollar mining building
from Clarence Mackey and his
mother, to be erected as mem
orial to John w. Mackey, who
laid the foundation of his for
tune by work with pick and
shovel on the old Comstock lode
at Virginia City. Mackey was
not the only man who dug mil
lions out of Nevada S treasure
vaults to be spent elsewhere, but
he is the only one thus far whose
descendants have shown any dis
position to turn back any por-
ton of the Hood to aid the desert
State from which it came. Is it
not time for the Fairs, the
Floods, the Sharons and other
heirs TO Nevada S bounty to lend
Il hclping hand to such an insti-
tuition as the University of Ne
vada in proving for the upbuild-
ing of the State in this hour of
her new birth?
Another gift that means much
to the University was that of
81 900 to be used for the benefit
of the students in the School of
Mines. This generous donation
was made by Mr.. +. NJ. Smith,
popularity known AS 'BoraX
Smith, and will be used
in the Gre ton of scholor-
ships to assist ambitious stu
dents for the coming year.
Mr.. Smith accompanied the gift
with the assurance that there
was plenty more where that
came from
The Nevada State University
has done splendid work in the
past decade, although greatly
handicapped by poverty, and, q
blush to own it,, the half-hearted
support of some sections of the
State. While few have actually
worked against it, many have
damned it with faint praise and
failed not to peddle very idle ru
mors that reached their ears in
regard to discipline or equip
ment.
Now, the truth of the matter
is that the Nevada State Univer-
sity is the University of the
whole State. 1t is as good an
| institution of learning, as thor
| ough and comprehensive in its
teachings and far more careful
in discipline than many an older
and much richer college. 1t
merits the loyal support of our
people, and to it we are in duty
bound to send our boys and girls
for higher education, if we love
our State. Neither should we
stop at that. We should do our
utmost to bring financial aid to
the University SO that it may
grow with the State and be made
still more efficient.
If every true friend of Nevada
would speak kind word for the
institution instead Of hitting a
knock it's elevating infiuer CO
would be far-reaching and would
add to the respect of the State

the kitchen and servants apartments. Around the

bedrooms and a bathroom The light he had

wrong with me?" he half laughed. Yet his eyes
sought the crayon drawing of Gwendoline Barnes.
Presently he lit cigar, unfolded evening paper
which he had bought in the street. and tried to take
interest in the of this new-o1d world into
which he was newborn.
But his mind wandered. Without he heard the
distant rumble of traffic; hansoms were beginning
to arrive in the street beneath; he heard doors slam
the Jinging of bells head-stalls feet pattering
across the pavement; drivers tongue-c1ick; and
away would jog horse to be stirred perhaps, into
sudden frenzy by two shrills of far off whistle
contrast. these sounds to the twig-snapping
and grass-rustling of night the plains. There
lying by the campfire embers, he had heard the
horses suspended their cropping to hearken Here
men and streets made yet stranger wilderness. He
sat over the hearth, absorbed by it, already yielding

There was no answer, and he had feeling
that the presence was drawing nearer.
He unarmed, of course. The inseparable six
shooter of the West lay at the bottom of a cabin
trunk in his bedroom. But his faculties were
exerted to an extent hardly possible to men who
have not lived close to wild nature. He conceived
pluck but of artifce. So he stepped softly to the

and, standing there, sought loose match in his

nearneSS TO other preSenceS is
really inherent in man. Resi-
dence in settled communities
dulls it, but in David Harcourt
it was living faculty. He stood
motionless, waiting for some sim
pie proof of his belief.
The door, yelled by portiere,
was not closed, but sufficiently
closed to prevent any view of the
corridor, which, otherwise, it
commanded throughout. The
fiat was carpeted so thickly that
movement was silenced. But
David fancied that woman's
dress did brush somewhere
against wall or floor. That was
enough. He was about to spring
forward and pull the door open
to see, when he heard, or thought
that he heard, the switch of the
light outside click, as if it had
been carefully raised. And on
the instant, without hesitation,
he pushed up the switch in the
dining-room, and hid himself in
darkness. There are wolves, too,
in the London desert.
Now, like a bush-cat, he crept
to the door, opened it, and
peeped out. Certainly the light
which he had left burning had
been extinguished by some hand;
the corridor was in darkness.
Nerves, as commonly under
stood, did not much enter into
Harcourt's scheme of things. But
his heart beat quick. The
speed of thought cannot be
measured. Many questions, and
one doubt, one question, fitted
through his brain. He stood in
deep gloom; near him, he was
convinced, was something in the
guise of woman. The face in
chalks on the mante1piece
seemed to crowd the dark, the
face of the woman who had been
lowering on the verge of his con-
seriousness ever since the agent
had mentioned her to him.

Harcourts hand was outstretched for the decanter,
when he became aware that he was not alone in the
fiat. The knowledge derived from neither sight
nor sound. 1t ntuitive a species of feeling
through space, an imperative consciousness that he
shared his suite of apartments with another distinct
if intangible, being. Many might not have L adj

within four days. Meanwhile charwoman might

The references having proved satisfactory, David
was now passing his first evening in his abode.
He had purchased some books and stationery. his
charwomen had left him, and, when the door had
closed behind her. he turned from the head in cha1ks
of the dead girl the mantepece to gaze out OF
the dinng-room window, and back again to the
sweet face in chalks, to return presently to the
window
1t was Thursday evening in the last week of
January. The housekeeper was to arrive on the
Saturday. David fixed on Monday as good day to
start work. In the interim he meant to loaf dine

his movements by the position
of mountain-ranges or stars, and
count distances by his days on
horseback, is likely to find him
self all unhinged within a four
mile radius. David was in the
novice stage of first acquaint-
anceship with the magnetic life
of the worlds capital. Not yet
did the roar of London sing in
familiar harmonies the crunch
of the omnibuses, the jingle of
the hansoms, made no music in
his ears. There was something
uncanny in the silence of the
millions eddying through the
streets. Where all else was
clamor, mankind was dumb,
save for the shouts of the news
boys, the jabber of bus-con-
ductors, the cries of itinerant
vendors.
So David, having dressed and
gone out, wandered into another
restaurant than that which he
was aiming for; dawdled over
the meal until the first act of
the play which he meant to
see must have been ended; and
decided then upon a music-hall;
finally, he strolled back toward
Eddystone Mansions as early
as eleven.
The elevator, placed in the
center of the building, ran from
the basement floor; those who
used it had to descend a few
steps from the entrance and
advance along a passage. Har-
court felt unaccounta bly, tired
