BOWEN KNOWS HOW
TO ADVERTISE CAMP
TELLS OF INDUSTRIAL ACHIEVE.
MENTS HERE AND PREDICTS
ROAD TO TWIN FALLS.

w. N. Bowen, who has a farm east
of Bull, and who went to Ely. New.
one year ago, is here looking after
his interests, says the Twin Fa..s
| Idaho, News.
1.-The tract looks better than ever
to me-" said Mr.. Bowen, land I hold
my land to be much more valuable
than when | went away. The devel-
| opment during my absence has been
something wonderful and | only wish
I could stay for the Jerome opening
1t will be the greatest in the history
of the country"
Concerning the great copper camp
of Ely, which is now attracting uni
versal attention, Mr.. Bowen said:
ELY and Twin Falls are going to
be more neighborly in the near flu
! ture, | hope. We are watching with
great interest the railway surveys
| from Nevada to Twin Falls and we
believe that it will not be long be-
| fore the road is built. In Ely we
need Twin Falls products and in
Twin Falls you need the Ely market.
There are LOO men employed in
constructing the Ely smelter. which
will be the largest in the world. Fully
1000 more are engaged in the mines
and on the railroad. More labor
would be employed if it were possible
to get it. The Hotel Steptoe, which
will be the finest in Nevada and will
contain $50 rooms, is now being con-
structed of Denver pressed brick
with gray sandstone trimmings. 1t
will be completed by next spring.
Thnrn tUn Of nr thrnn CT n
tells already open to the public. The
| Nevada Northern has one of the finest
depots in the state at Ely. A big
electric power plant is nearing COM
pletion from which power win be
used for running the electric roads
which will connect the smelter, the
mines and the city. The Gum
Thompson block, three stories, So by
100 feet, bull, of Denver pressed
brick, is about finished. Everybody
is building for the future in the be-
lief that Ely will surely be one of
the best cities in the country. Ore
valued at millions of dollars has been
blocked out already and enough is in
sight to run the big smelter for the
next fifty years at rate of $4,000
tons per day. Considering these facts
it is not surprising that within the
last six months modern city has
sprung up and $1,5O0,00O has been
spent in improvements. We have a
modern water works system of suffi-
cient capacity to supply city of 49,
600. Ely is lighted by electricity and
will have a first class sewer system.
1t is bound to be the distributing
point for southern and eastern Ne
vada Remember, all this has been
accomplished within the past six
months. The first unit of the con-
centrator, with daily capacity of
5000 tons, is expected to be in oper-
alton by the first of the year and the
first unit of the smelter, of similar
capacity, should be running by the
first of June. he Western Pacific
Will be operating passenger trains
from Salt Lake City to it's junction
with the Nevada Northern, about 100
miles north of Ely, within thirty days
and Will run its trains into Ely on
the line of the latter road. The San
Pedro road, which is now building
from Caliente to Phoebe, has been
surveyed through to Ely and will be
constructed to the great copper camp
in the near future. A railroad has
also been surveyed from Ely to 1ono-
pah, over which the Tonopah ores
will be brought to the Ely smelter.
Another road has been surveyed from
Ely to Salt Lake City in a direct line
by way of Deep Creek. The con-
struction of these roads will undoubt-
eddy make a great city of Ely. | con-
slider that a railway from Twin Falls
to Ely would be of incalculable ben
eft to this tract and it's construction
would be equally welcomed in Ely.
We need Twin Falls electric power
to run our mines and machinery and
we need Twin Falls farm products
to feed us. Here you need just such
a market as Ely affords. BY all
means let us get together
