Off For Ely.

During the past few months various
reports of the great mining camp of
Ely, Nevada, have reached the ears
of the people of this section and the
trail has been kept hot by these
whose feet begin to itch when good
mining stories are told. Ely, Nevada,
is comparatively new place, but it
has become widely known throughout
the United States by recent dis
coveries of vast copper deposits. 1t
has a population OF about 1000 and is
growing SO rapidly that it is difficult
to keep up with it. On next Monday
there will be large crowd of people
at the depot to bid E. R. Patterson,
J. L. jacobson, Johnny Cromb and
Harry Hink goodbye, as they start
for Ely, Nevada, in search of their
fortunes. 1t will be a strong COM
bination and if they stay together,
there ought to be something doing in
old Nevada.

and was bowling success financially.
All those who attended and did not
wear patched clothing or an apron
we're fined from ten to twenty-five
cents, and as there were many pres
ent who did not understand the plan,
the ladies collected many fines.
Many were robed with real poverty
costumes and created much laughter,
but those who attracted the most at
tentiOn were Mrs. H. Wilkinson and
Mr.. Ponton. The Clifton Band boys,
who assisted the ladies, we're dressed
in overalls, and furnished an abund-
ance of good music throughout the
evening.
Refreshments consisting of cookies,
sandwiches and coffee were served.
Another interesting portion of the
program was the rendition of a num-
Der of songs.

final preparations to gain entrance
into the town of Clifton for the rail-

Clifton property owners have been
notified that the ground next to the
river bank will be condemned and
paid for after appraisement. The
settlement will take place before the
court, hence the property owners
have been summoned to appear and

will be completed at an early date.

The Shannon Copper cOmpany's
smelter went into commission We'd
nesday morning after short shut
down caused by the big blower en-
CINE being out of commission. A
new 35O-horsepower No. 10 Corners
vile blower engine is now in opera
ton and driving the blowers. 1t is
the largest and best blower engine
in Arizona and will do away with de-
lays which have frequently occurred.
The company now has two blower
engines in place and in the event of
a break down there will always be
one in reserve. The Shannon is get
ting in better condition all the time
and will make better showing in
future than it has in the past, which
is saying a good deal. Upon the COM
pletion of the proposed new railroad,
the company will save vast sums in
the transportation of it's ores during
the year. The Shannon is rapidly
branching out in the way of improve
ments, it is adding new properties to
its list and will in the course of
a few years be looked upon as one of
the heaviest producers of the terri
tory. The Shannon stock has been
quite active on the market of late
which indicates the confidence in
vestors have in the management of
the company.
