History of The Camp.

Ely has been known as a mining
camp for over 40 years. Following
the silver excitement at Hamilton, 50
miles distant in the early COS dozens
of prospectors drifted into Robinson
canyon in search of gold and silver
Their methods were crude. they had
a constant struggle for existence and
fortunes did not result.
The history Of the camp for the
next 81 years is rather a disappoint-
ment. y few who struck The district
located fairly good claims and al sew
cral times the camp seemed prosper
Gus but values did not hold and so
much copper was encountered as to
make cyaniding failure. The exist
ence of the copper deposits here has
been known for years, but their eX-
tent was never realized until early
in the present century Further than
this the ores were mostly Of a low
grade, the question of transportation
was an unsolyed problem and it re-
Quired both time and money to deter

mineral zone
Today the ore bodies have been ex-

for and every economy installed that

upon an era of prosperity which APP
pears destined to continue for many
years to come.

WHAT BULLOCK SAW WHILE He WAS IN ELY

1000 tons OF ore per day.
Today the railroad from Ely to Co
bre on the Southern Pacific IS an es-
tabished fact. The Nevada Gonsoli-
dated properties have, according 10
estimates more than 60,e00.900 tons
OF material blocked Out, aud con
centrating and smelling plant with a
daily capacity of 10000 tons is in
process of erection.
The Ely to Cobre Railroad.
The railroad runs all its way in
the Steptoe valley which is almost
as level as billiard table. and va
ries from to 10 miles in width be-
tween imposing mountain ranges.
Throughout its entire length there is
neither cut, fill nor aestle of any
magnitude. and little ballasting was
necessary. The line is being rapidly
pushed forward west OF Ely through
the Robinson canyon to connect with
the mines. Here some tunneling and
considerable filling is necessary. Ia
ken as IL whole. however, the Nevada
Northern is built on one OF the best
natural roadbeds OF tho entire west.
Already the road is bringing in
large quantities of supplies machin-
cry and equipment for the mines. and
for the new city which is rapidly
coming into existence. Within two
months the Western Pacific will tap
the Nevada Northern and establish
through Pullman service from Salt
Lake City. The Clark lines are push
ing east from Goldfield and Tonopah
with Ely as an objective point, and
still another line is being surveyed in
FROM the south.
Operations on Large Scale.
Probably never before in the en-
tire history of mining in the United
States have such large sums of mon
ey been put into the work of develop
ment and preparation in so limited
period, as is the case in Ely. Some OF
the largest financial institutions in
the east are putting millions of dol
lars into the work Of development of
the Nevada Consolidated and of the
Cumberland-Ely mines, the Nevada
Northern railroad and the mammoth
concentrating and smelling plant all
of which properties are jointly own
ed by the two companies instanced.
Millions more are waiting investment
here as soon as the opportunity of
ers. The proposition is really com,
mercial, rather than mining in many
OF its aspects. for there is no question
of ore 1t is simply question of the
difference between the cost of min
ing and smelling and the market val

The Concentrating Plant.

The first unit of the concentrating
plant Will include 120 Wiley tables,
sc Frue vanners, s Huntington mills,
sets of rolls and trommels. The
concentrator, smelter, power plant
and all other units of the plant will
be so constructed that the capacity
can be doubled in the most econom-
ical manner. The first unit of the
plant will be capable OF handling APP
proXimately 5000 tons of ore per day
and by the time il is in operation the
mines will be in readiness to furnish
fully that amount regularly.
The smelter plant will furnish cleo
ll'ic power to the mines, % miles dis
tant over a transmission line carry
ing 10000 volts.

ings are within belt less than half
a mile wide north and south. and
over six miles from east to west.
There seems TO he little question that
the underlying ore body is practically
continuous throughout this belt. and
that the great bulk of il contains
commercial ore. While this is by no
means the extent of the ore zone, it
seems to be the most productive sec
tion of il that has thus far been de-
veloped.
The Smelling Works.
The completion OF the smelter, the
first unit of which will probably be
ia operation before the end of the
year, makes it possible to handle AT
a profit many thousand tons of ore
which otherwise would be valueless
from commercial standpoint. The
smelter site is l 4 miles north of Ely
or the eastern slope of Steptoe valley.
The natural water supply at hand is
amply sufficient to treat over 25,000
tons OF ore per day.
In order to avoid complications
similar 10 those which have arisen at
Butte and Bingham about the ques-
tion of smoke nuisance and water
pollution, the company purchased
over 5000 acres of land. The site is
ideal for reduction plant, and every
economy which engineering skill can
devise has been considered in the lay
ont of the works.
An idea OF the ground area covered
may be gathered from the fact that
the concentrating mill is more than
Il mile from the smelter. and that

that someone pierced a needle in

nature are common among horse

horse that is likely to win.

John Bolger has had so acres of his

Mart Laughnan has located on a good

w. H. Woodruff and ]. c. Taggart and
several more from the northern part of
the county who went out this spring are
favorably located on homesteads and like

J. E. Arnold and his sons Algie and
Price were among the first from here to

land holdings. They have over 12o acres
in crop this season.
There are many more Jackson county
people there all doing well and all glad
OF the opportunity that came their way.
There has been plenty of moisture and
from presen, appearances all the crops
will be large. With present prices for
grain products all of them will reap a rich
harvest and land values already firmly
established will increase still more, TO the
greater prosperity of the land owners.
