Increasing Richness Keeps
New District Booming

Wonderfully rich gold and silver
ore was discovered yesterday after
noon by Messrs. Shute, Long, Helm
and Bannlgan while sinking an as
sessment hole on the Copper Loop
ledge Almost half of the ore was
silver, and in roasted piece it was
impossible to place pin point on
The surface without touching bub-
bic OF silver.
The new find is by far the richest
silver ore yet discovered in camp.
Lynch & Irish discovered new
copper cropping on their claims and
are obtaining ore that shows good
copper values, also panning well in
gold The ore comes from the bot
tom of their shaft.
An eastern company, represented
by ID. w. Shelter is sinking shaft
on the Jumbo of Banigan G. Brady
group and will sink another working
shaft on a different cropping. as soor
as the machinery arrives.
The Mizpah Townsite compuany
while digging a well found copper
float in the wash.
New strikes are of daily occur
renee and 1t takes sensational ore
to attract attention.
The ledge is getting richer ant
stronger with depth, and shipments
of ore will be moving toward tht
smelters within 80 days.

ECCLESTON DIES
AFTER ARRIVAL
OF LOVED ONES
Sweetheart and Mother Reach Bed.
side Of Dying Man in Time
TO Bid Last Farewell

Bidding farewell to his mother
and sweetheart who had hastened to
Ely from Ogden upon being notified
that he was dangerously i'll of pneu-
monia, Joseph NJ. Eggleston died last
night after an illness of only a few
days.
Eggleston was 33 years old and
had been employed since January
as clerk in the store of the Ely
Mercantile company. Last Sunday,
after retiring Eggleston was attacked
by pneumonia 1t was at first sup
posed to be a slight cold and the sick
man refused to allow his friends to
notify his family in Ogden, but when
he took turn for the worse Tues
day his mother was advised by wire
of the condition of her son.
Mrs. Eggleston and Miss Nellie
Monahan. of Ogden, Eggleston's fan
Gee, FASTENED at once to Ely, Grriv-
ing Wednesday night. Eggleston had
been sinking, but encouraged by the
thought of seeing his mother and his
sweetheart he put up a noble fight
for recovery.
There was pathetic meeting in
the sick room Wednesday night, and
it was thought that Eggleston who
had rallied slightly after the arrival
of his loved ones. might recover.
The disease had too firm a foothold
in his system, however, and he died
last night shortly after O'Clock. The
body will be taken to Ogden tomor-
row for burial and the funeral SER
vices will probably be held there on
Sunday.
The deceased is survived by his
mother and brother, Frank Eggles-
ton, who lives here.

Carson, New, March 14.-lf the
anti prize fight law is not enacted 1t
will not be the fault of Gov John
Sparks. In his veto of the amateur
boxing bill the executive showed very
plainly his views on the matter.
1t was known that he would not
sanction a reduction in the license
for professional pugilism but 1T was
thought that ne would be in favor
of a law which would allow the diff
erent clubs to put on mills of linz
tied number of rounds, but his veto
yesterday made ii very plain that no
compromise measure will receive his
approval His veto follows:
To the honorable, the assembly
Gentlemen:
have the honor to return to your
honorable body, without my aprov-
al, assembly bill No. 80, An act to
permit athletic clubs of over 100
members, and of three months good
standing to put on amateur boxing
bouts without a license and certain
restrictions relating to the same.
My objections are that boxing con-
tests are stepping stones to prize
fights and are really the same in de-
tail and results, whether the class he
amateur or professional, licensed or
free.
In my message to the honorable
legislature now convened, | earnest
ly recommended the repeal of the
prize fight law in force and the en-
actment of prohibitory measure
in its stead. 1t can hardly be expect
ed that my sense of justice and con-
sistency will allow me to lend appro-
val to the act proposed which is al
most equally Objectionable. 1t is be-
meath the dignity and honor of this
state and condemned by the senti-
ment of the people in other states of
the union.
We have public schools and educa-
tional institutions with instructors
sworn into the service of the state in
which youths are instructed in phys
ical, mental and moral culture, suf-
ficient for al useful purposes in life.
1t is natural that clever boxers are
quite likely to develop into prize
fighters who will contribute nothing
OF value to the advancement of So
ciety or materially promote the gen
eral welfare of our country
1t is hard to beat the pitchfork and
plow handle for the development of
muscle. Respectfully
JOHN SPARKS. Governor.

BOSTON men
INTERESTED
IN ELY MINES
Money For Investment in Ely
Mines Plentiful in the
Eastern Cities

Il. b. O'Connor of ELY has return
ed from visit to relatives in Bos-
ton, Mass, where he has been for
the last three weeks He says that
the attention of Boston capitalists
and investors Is almost wholly cen
tered OH copper, and that as soon as
the mines of this district begin to
produce the red metal there will be
great influx Of Boston money for
speculative and Investment purposes.
Copper is king in the eyes of the
Boston moneyed men, said Mr..
i 'Connor last night, and their atten-
tion is given to the production of this
metal more largely han to any other
form of investment or speculation.
At this time the Michigan copper
fields are engaging their interest but
they are watching Ely and the Robin
son mining district with increasing
attention and interest What they
want is actual production, not the
! blocking out of immense bodies of
ore in the mines. As soon as the
smelters begin to turn the ores of
this district into metal there will he
an unprecedented sum of money put
at the disposal of the district. The
money that is available there for in
vestment in copper properties is vir
tually unlimited, and it will be easy
to get when actual production begins.
AT this time Ely lacks publicity
and advertising. Comparatively lit
tie is known of the big mines of the
district 1t is also surprising to find
that but little has been heard there
of the great smelters which are un-
der construction at McGill. Hereto
fore Goldfield has had all the atten-
tion that has been bestowed upon
Nevada but now they are turning
their eyes toward Ely
"Thomas w. Lawson has been
talking and writing about certain
Nevada copper stocks and booming
them, with the result that the peo-
pie there are giving their attention
more to this district.
During my stay in Boston mon
ey was somewhat scarce, bringing
per cent with gilt edge securities.
This condition was caused by the
nurries in stocks in the New York
market, and the condition is now re-
lieved, money going at ) per cent.
