candidate for one of the city council-
men of Ely. and 1t must be that he
realized a good price for his ranch
else politics would have nocharm for
him.
Mr.. Schellenberger. by the way, Is
one OF White Pine county's early-day
frefghters, and did his hauling with
oxen long before the neigh of the
iron was heard, and It Is said that
with his OK teams he hauled much OF
the material that the old hills are
made of.
The next place on my line OF trav-
Ell was located 10 SO and also con-
-tains about 1.60O al rs. Fred Will-
ians ct 81 were thu Original locators.
Senator H. A., Comins bought the
place from the dead owners estate
in 1S79tand the Senator made 1t his
home until this spring, and all the
time he has been making history for
White Pine and tilling his broad
acres. The place Is one Of the most
productive In Steptoe Valley, the
land being rich and the soil deep.
lit is at present devoted principally
to the cultivation of hay. grain. pota-
toes and other vegetables. A clus-
ter of new dwellings,, onthouses and
corrals occupy place on the banks
of Steptoe Creek Senator Comins
disposed OF 1000 acres Of his hold
ings to the Ely Townsite company
last year for q goodly sum and has
taken uD residence in Ely. The
Townslte company recently trans
ferred its purchase to the Ely Mines
Co., and it bought more for the
water rights the properties control
than for the farming. The conf
pany has commenced excayating for
a reservoir, and 1t Is understood that
in time the waters OF Steptoe Greek
will be put to the higher use of
making electric 'juice" to furnish
nearby points with power and light.
Power and light can be
to Ely City, Ely, the smelter site at
McGill and all other points where
power and light are needed do
not know what the company's inten-
tions are relative to the future dis
position. but can see great p0ssiblli-
ties for its waters in its future use IN
lighting and power purposes. The
company is boring with a big aaguf
and undoubtedly have large and smm-
prohenslve plans for ntiliafnE the Ss
ter. putting It to its highest use In
the betfefment OF the Surrounding
section contiguous thereto. They
have certainly acquired nAvery yaiu-
able property and made b ten-strike
when they bought the wkters OF
Steptoe Creek.
The next place stopped ct was
The Argus Spring. Lake and Sinelter.
The ranch contains about 1 200 acres
