that Ely's greatness has drawn into the
camp. There were capitalists, here to
look for profitable investments; mining
experts, here to study properties which
are about to be sold; business men, in
tent upon commercial opportunity;
workers in different lines, who have
come to Ely to better their conditions.
And, of course, there were returning
Elyites, glad to be back once more to
the scene of their activities.
Among the arrivals were w. W..
Bright, Chicago capitalist, who will
probably take hold of something here;
John Murphy, Denver mining expert,
who will report upon properties which
are about to cnangc hands; E. G. Straub
of Denver, brother of Frank Straub of
the Pittsburg- Ely, who is interested in
Ely mines; w. B. Preston, representa-
tive of the Denver Fire Clay Chemical
Company; John A Fulton, the Reno
mining engineer, and others worthy of
note.

Creek.

from Denver.

the original group Of claims in the new
Mizpah district, near Spruce Siding,
have refused an offer of $3.50, 900 cash

time.

LEAD KING SHIPS
ORE FROM McGlLL
Cars Are Being Filled at the
SmeIter Siding By Wagons
From Mine

Shipment of lead ore has already be-
gun at Duck Greek. The mine owners
have been prepared for some time to
ship to the Salt Lake smelters, but
have been waiting for the completion
of side tracks on the Nevada Northern
for their use. The manager of the
Lead King mine has now arranged with
the railroad company for the handling
of cars from the siding at the McGill
smelter site The ore is being hauled
from the mine, two miles away, by
wagon, and dumped into cars.
1t is intended to continue shipments
steadily as fast as the cars can be OBJ
tanned for transportation to the smell
ters.
Other Duck Creek lead mining COM
panies will probably also soon com
mence shipping.
A portion of the Lead King ground
in the early days was worked for its
extremely high-grade values and from
very shallow hole the early operator
IOoh SeNSIdl SnlpliiChLo VI olS ehiI
averaged above so per cent lead. He
left, however, large amount of rock
that could have been used by him even
under the difficult circumstances then
prevailing, but the present owners are
to reap the rewards, Duck Creek
properties are extremely attractive
propositions, for the reason that their
surface disclosures are ideal, and the
Lead King is one of half score or
more of properties that has gone down
in ore from sunshine.
Adjoining the Lead King mines there
is some excellent ground owned by
parties in Ely from which high grade
galena ore has heen taken almost from
the surface. There is no question but
that extensive operations will began IN
the vicinity now that railroad facilities
are offered.
