According to evidence of promi-
nent Ely banker before the railroad
commission last week, his belief is
that the Ely Townsite Co. has put
$1,4OO,O00 in circulation to this time
in the building of Ely City. OF this
amount the business houses of Ely
have received in payment for goods a
very material part. Is 1t to be sup
posed that they and the people of
Ely, many of whom have drawn di
rectly from the expenditures of the
Townsite Co. are not appreciative of
the benefits the Townsite Co. has
brought about? Certainly not. A
few disgruntled kickers, grabbers,
human hogs, may have wish that Ely
City may not make returns on invest
ment, but not the people of Ely by
dIlN illdIutE vi anu luC iut-
ter know that Ely City will make re-
turns and that it is good to have
holdings there, fact demonstrated
by the investments in Ely City lots
that Ely people have wisely made.
Ely City is bound to become a large
center. But that in doing so it will
destroy Ely is the height of absurd
ity, unless, indeed, the knockers
there should continue the rabid as
saults they have conducted in the
past and thereby drive the Ratchet
into their own heads. 1t has been
their talk that has disguised and
driven investors away from Ely.
Other causes may be advanced but
when you get to the bottom of it
that is the real cause. 1t is high
time to frown down the kickers and
their program and turn to boosting
for the district at large.

Those who take on this stock at pres

are greater than in either of the
other camps named, because this
camp has more to look forward to.
The difference that does exist is in
the attitude of the people. With the
busy interest of everybody in the dis
trict to make things go ahead with
out regard to location, as in Bisbee
and Cananea, this district would
make advance as a whole as marvel
Gus as the advance Ely City has made
during the present year. With Ely
kickers operating it can be expected
that Ely will drag, that it will keep
on losing opportunities, as it did
when is turned down the street rail-
way franchise. A boost for all quar-
tiers, knocking for none, is the only
way out. AS for antipathy to Ely
City, the few who hold such, and
their number cannot be measured
from the noise they make, might as
wen conclude that they are butting
against q stone wall. Ely City is 60
ing ahead. 1t will become the CEN
ter of largest population in the dis
trict. Its advantages in location
make this certain. There can be no
other outcome

A COMPARISON OF TOWNS.

In the quarter of Cananea where
the principal real estate values are
located today, lots were bought two
years ago for from $50 to 500. This
ground is situated very much as is
that of Ely City with relation to Ely,
even to the passenger and freight
yards site, which in Cananea is over
two miles from the down town bus
mess center. At the present time
there are no lots in the Cananea
quarter to which reference is made
that are to be had under $500, gold,
and from that price up to $4,000.
In Lowell, three miles out of Bisbee,
lots could be had four years ago for
$25 and $50. Today these same lots
sell for as high as 500 per front
foot. In neither the case of Bisbee

towns to new areas hurt the old
towns. There were no kickers there
to shout that the extensions in these
mining camps to new and more de-
sirable townsite lands meant destruc-
ton of the old towns or demoraliza
ton of their property values. On
the other hand the people of the
original towns of Bisbee and Cananea
gave every encouragement to the ex
tensions and declared in their CORE
spondence, in their talk and through
the newspapers that more building
area meant better things for the
whole community, because extensions
would provide quarters to which
newcomers could be invited and
placed in more desirable locations
than had been possible previously.
This the Cananea and Bisbee people
argued would increase the number of
families in the town and consequent
ly increase the circulation of money
at home, making for increased prop
erty values, increased enterprise,
more taxable property and lower tax
rates and generally better social and
physical conditions. All their ex-
pectations have been realized many
times over Their towns have grown
by leaps and bounds, both so much
SO that at the present time new ex-
tensions are being plated, in the
case of Bisbee six miles out of the
old town. The latter gave it's hearty
support to the last enterprise and
promptly granted a street railway
franchise through its main street,
narrower by half than is Aultman
street, in order that it might have
connection with the new extension of
the town residence and business
quarters, six miles out. Ely differs
in no respect from Cananea and Bis

large advantage of all interests. In
fact the advantages to be gained here
