OGDEN GIVES
EXCURSIONISTS
fine RECEPTION
Banqueted Baseball Players and
Cheered Ely and Its
Boosters.

Frank Willard returned from Og-
den last night having accompanied
the ball team and excursionists who
left before the Fourth. He brings
good reports concerning thes manner
in which they are boosting the
greatest copper camp on earth"
With the exception of the first
game said Mr.. Willard, the boys
did exceptionally we'll. The first
game found them rather puzzled and
they did not play we'll together,
They recovered fully after that con-
test, however, and have been playing
fine baseball since.
The Ogden people have treated
them in fine style. They took the
excursionists up ogden canyon In au-
tomobiles and then banqueted them
at the Hermitage. After the ban
quet the Elyites were taken over to
the saucer track to witness the BIZ
cycle races. The Ely people assem-
bled in one corner of the track and
the announcer in loud voice shout
ed: The Ely boosters are in the
northwest corner of the track"
There were fully 1900 people
present, and they arose as one and
cheered for Ely and its boosters. On
the cars the people cheered Ely and
its citizens, and everywhere the boys
went they met with a fine reception.
Yesterday the boys played at
Preston, Idaho, and today they will
cross bats with the Ogden boys
again, returning to Preston Wednes-
day for another game. They will go
to Murray Thursday and will start
for home Friday.

MINING NOTES
OF INTEREST
FROM WONDER
The Wonder Miner.

The Wonder Miner.
The task of Strengthening the
shaft on the Ruby ha.' now been nc
complished and they will begin sink
ing at once. The main working of
this property is an incline with an
angle of about so degrees and has
reached a depth of 70 feet in fine
rock which. returns from $12O to
$3.50 per ton. Sorting and sacking
are proceeding satisfactorily and a
| shipment wild go out in the near lu-
ture.
+, A shaft is being sunk on the
Castle Rock group of claims in the
northwestern part of the district.
across the gulsh from the original
workings. This new development
work has uncovered the ledge for
about 20 feet without encountering
the opposite wall as yet. A depth
of about Is feet has now been at
tanned any of which is in first class
ore. Mr.. Seger, the superintendent
of this ground is most enthusiastic
about the showing and confident
that he will soon be able to produce
mine, after the first work has been
done.
Three hundred feet of tunnel have
been driven on this ground and DRIFT
ing on the ore is now ging on as
rapidly as possible, the question of
sufficient air supply having been
solved by the driving of an upraise.
Jack Holland, the superintendent, is
busy building road to this ground
over which water can be easily
transported in the event of the pres
ent supply running short. Freight
also can be more easily hauled out
to the mine than by using the pres
ent trail A hoist will be placed on
the shaft in the near future. Val
ues continue satisfactory on this
property.
Two shafts are going down on the
| Spider Wasp ground which is uni
versally conceded to be one of the
big properties of the camp. One
of these is an incline and is now
down about AZ feet in the ore and
will be driven down to the 75-foot
level, at which point cross-cut will
be driven to the foot wall The per-
pendicular shaft has been sunk
about so feet but they do not ex
pect to catch the ore body in this
working under 2s0 feet of depth.
The hoist which arrived several days
ago will be placed as soon as the
ground which is to be graded and
leveled can be put in shape. Two
shifts are working in each shaft and
general air of hustle prevails.
A carload of ore has been sacked
and is now waiting transportation to
the railroad, but a shortage of COM
petent ore sorters has been delay
ing factor in the shipments from this
lease. The highest grade of ore on
this lease averages $39S per ton and
the so-called second grade will run
5000. On the other five leases
owned or controlled by the Spider
Wasp Development company men are
at work trenching and doing sur
vace development before proceeding
| to regular mine making.

RUSH IS OVER
AT THE CON-

The rush to the Contact district
that was at its height a couple of
weeks ago has quoted down.
Practically all the good claims in
that locality have been taken up,
said a mining man who came in on
last evenings train. There are not
any more prospectors going into that
locality at the present time, and I
don't think there will be much ac-
tivity until next season.. The assess
ment work is being done but there
will not be any further development
work done for some time. The dis
trict. however, will prove great

100000 PENSIONS A YEAR.
Pennsylvania Railroad increases An.
nuaI Appropriation.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1t.-Hav-
ing granted ten per cent. increase
in wages to its active employees the
Pennsylvania Railroad has just gone
step further and raised the annual
appropriation of Its pension fund for
retired employees by IS per cent
from $39O,o00 to 100000 year. This
announcement Is contained in the an
nual report just issued by the pension
department OF the railroad.
According to this report nearly half
a million dollars in pension allowances
was paid by the Pennsylvania Rail
road to Its retired employees in 1906.
The exact amount. s4s7,s14.47. is the
largest sum yet paid in any one year,
and exceeds that of 1905 by nearly
$4,000.
There are now 1,940 men on the

January, 1906,there were 1910. Dur

two and possibly three will be erected

The question of site Is giving the
faculty some trouble This inconven-
ience does not rise from scarrity OF
offerings but rather the reverse. A
number of parcels of ground are un-
der consideration, one of them being a
tract known as the Dean place. This
land Is the highest SPOT In Washington
and would make an ideal location for
the University were 1t trife larger.
President Charles W, Needham fears
that there Is not enough acreage to
permit Of rapid growth, and for that
reason he is hesitating about closing
the deal.
1t might be a good thing If the Uni
versity did acquire the Dean proper
ty, for almost every congress for years
back has been urged to buy 1t In for
the government to be used as the site
for new White House. With insis-
tent regularity this bill has appeared,
and with equal regularity 1t has died
peacefully in the committee. Con
gress, however, is growing tired of
seeing 1t appear at every session.
