TELLS OF SUCCESSOR
SPOKANE MEN IN ELY.

w. M. Evans, a Spokane real estate
and mine owner, has returned to that
city from a trip to Ely.
ITO show how things go there said
Mr. Evans in an interview in the
Spokesman-Review, "the Guggenheims
are erecting a smelter which will be
able to handle 10, 900 tons of ore day
at the start and can be increased to
10000 tons day. 1t will require two
years to complete this smelter, how
ever. Arrangements have been made
to bring 700 iron workers from Pitts
burg, Pa, to work on the smelter in
the spring. At present 300 men are
employed on the works.
This concern owns the Nevada Con-
solidated group, which consists of pos
sibly 100 mining claims. They are
sinking a five compartment working
shaft, which is one of the largest I'M
dertakings of the kind III the world.
This shaft is going down on the Star
Pointer, one of the claims of their
group.
''In one place shaft was sunk 700
feet and drifts run for a distance of
1400 feet. Three-fourths of mile dis
tant another shaft was sunk 700 feet,
which was connected by a drift with
the first one, and every part of the
workings were in ore. The values are
in copper which runs from 2 to "a per
cent.
Everything is on the boom down
there. Mines, town sites, railroads
and everything else that goes to make
up new mining country. Because
had black hat and new overcoat |
was taken for capitalist. Finally
borrowed white sombrero and after
that did not receive so many offers to
get in on the ground floor.
Il met many oldtimers from this
section down there. ]. r. Marks, who
at one time was of the Holly, Mason,
Marks & Co. incorporation of Spokane,
is now acapitalist. Dick landed in
Ely last fall with $50; his income
/ is now 5000 a month. He is
in real estate and other lines of bust
ness.
Robert Neil, who at one time was
well known in the Occur d'Alepes and
in Spokane, has an income of $50 day
from a lodging house that represents
an investment of Sc, 900.
'There were great many more that
| met while there whom ! can not well
remember at this time, but all are
prosperous. New railways now build
ing are bringing that country out in
great shape. Imade few real estate
investments while there.

of the couple and to the young wo-
mans parents.

circle of eligible young men here. Miss
Ready is a beautiful young woman.
They We're companions on automobile
rides frequently and when they went
for a spin" recently the parents Of
Miss Ready had no thought that their
daughter would return bride. Kibbe

other accomplishments of the popular
auto elopement and until their return
two days later were in doubt as to
the reception they would receive at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ready.

SAN JOSE HONORS
INA COOLbR|TH

SAN JOSE, Feb 9.-The appreciative
meeting held this afternoon by the
Womans Club OF this city in honor of
Miss Ina D. Coolbrith was attended
largely by the members of the club
and the friends of Miss Coolbrith. 1t
proved to be one of the most successful
affairs from a literary standpoint ever
held in San Jose. There were not only
numerous contributions to the pro-
gramme from local people, but various
tributes were received from authors on
the coast.
The programme was in charge of
Miss Viola Price Franklin. An grafton
singularly beautiful in it's expression
and spirit was delivered by John E.
Richards. The remainder of the pro-
gramme consisted mainly of the
tributes to Miss Coolbrith, some in
poetry, some in prose. and some set to
music written by local musicians
The programme was as follows:
Greetings from Joaquin Miller. Mrs.
Viola Price Franklin; poetic tributes to
Miss Coolbrith by Professor H. NJ
Bland, Carrie stevens Wilter and
Charles Warren Stoddard; reading of
Miss Coolbrith's poems, San Fran
cisco" and ''The Poppy" Miss Esther
Macomber; address, Miss Ina Cool
DElbn, JOnn t. fSlcnardS; music, The
Quest" words by Miss Coolbrith, music
by Thomas V. Gator Jr, sung by Ches-
ter Herold; original poems by Jessie
Juliet Knox and John c. Jury; selec-
tions from Miss Coolbrith's poems (a)
I'm Blossom Time" OBJ Love Song"
words by Miss Coolbrith, music by
Miss Gertrude Trace, sung by Miss
Nella Rogers, Clarence Urmy Poe, read
by Mrs. John E Richards
The letter from Joaquin Miller con-
tained a suggestion that every State
should make provision by which one
or more of its representative poets or
writers should receive a pension, at
least as large as that accorded an hon
orable soldier. California, he said, had
no one more worthy of receiving such
a tribute from the State than that
sweet-spirited singer of the glory of
the State, Miss Coolbrith. who, he said,
had been an inspiration to all who had
read her in the past decade or longer
This suggestion was heartily received
by the members of the club, and a reso-
luton indorsing the plan and calling
upon the Legislature to make provision
for such a pension was adopted A
small sum was given during the after
noon, to be added to a fund for re-
placing the home which Miss Coolbrith
lost in the San Francisco fire.

FISHERIES MATTER
NOT ONE Of WAR

OTTAWA. Feb. 9.-Lewis, NJ p,
asked Premier Laurier in the House
yesterday to make a declaration of
sympathy with the people of New
Foundiand in their troubles with the
United States over the fisheries.
Premier Laurier said that it was
with some hesitation that he consent
ed TO make a pronouncement on the
subject. The question is before the
Colonial Office and the British diplo-
matists were handling the matter in
way satisfactory to New Foundland.
The Canadian people, therefore, sym
pathized with the people of New
Foundland because the troubles of New
Foundland might any day become those
OF Canada. But whatever difficulty
there was to be settled, he SAID they
would be settled by peaceful means and
never by war
