Work to be Resumed on Larger
Plan by Affiliated Com.
panies.
GOOD NEWS GLADLY RECEIVED
End of Financial Crisis i'm Money
Center Puts New Life i'm
District.

Work is to be resumed under high
in Copper Flat; the construction work
of the Nevada Northern railroad is
not to be slackened in the slightest
degree until all of the plans already
approved are carried out to final COM
pletion; the forces of men employed
at the smelling works at McGill will
not be reduced, but orders have been
even more rapidly; forces that have
been cut down by discharge of large
numbers of men are to be brought
back to their former strength in ev-
cry case and to greater strength in
several instances.
This in a nutshell is the substance
of telegraphic orders that were re-
ceived here last night from New York
city, by the heads of the various de-
partments of the Nevada ConsOlidat-
ed, and other mining companies in
the coalition; of the Nevada Northern
Railway company and of the Steptoe
Valley Smelling and Mining company.
Almost as soon as these messages
were received, the news spread from
one end of the camp to the other.
In view of the fact that the local
financial situation was relieved of the
strain under which it had been la
boring for days, the news came like
a burst of sunshine after storm.
Many Men on Streets.
On the street corners, in the hotel
lobby, in the saloons, men congre-
gated and passed the good word
along There was spirit of opti-
msm and cheerfulness that has
scarcely been equalled for months.
Everyone seemed ready and eager
to believe the good news, and when
it was semi-officially stated that the
rumors had foundation in fact, a
number of men suggested that they
take up a subscription and get the
band out to liven the town up.
But the band was not needed to
give the town a lively appearance.
There were more men in the streets
than had been on any other evening
for weeks. And they were as pleased
as though each and every one of them
had received big yellow orange in
his stocking on Christmas morning.
The reason that was given for the
sudden change is that the financial
situation in New York is greatly
cleared up; that money is going back
into it's normal channels; that the
restraint and unrest and uneasiness
that have eliminated in a tempest in
a teapot in New York have been dis
sipated, and that business is rapidly
assuming normal proportions and
conditions.
Fear of Panic Gone.
The fear of a general panic having
been relieved, the great financial in
terests which are in control of the de-
velopment and extension of this dis
trict, resolved to rescind any orders
that may have been given to cut the
forces, and in place of these orders
to fill all the forces to their capacity
in order that the work might be hur-
ried to completion as quickly as pos
sible
Chief Engineer A. Judell of the Ne
yada Northern stated to The News
last night that there would be no ces'
sation of work on the construction
department of the road. He said
that the work of laying the track or
the high ore line would be carried
on with as big force as could be
placed. Ballast is being placed or
tie ore line from Ely to the Stal
Pointer, with steam shovels. This
work will be finished by January
or will be continued until completed
Vigorous work is being carried or
at the Veteran grade. Corey Broth
ers. who have the contract, will dou
ble their force to 100 men and 1Ot
horses as quickly as the men ant
animals can be had for the work.
To Put on Night Shift.
A night shift will be put on thu
ballasting work as soon as practica
BILE. Ample side tracks, spurs ant
switches will be put in at Copper Fla
to accommodate the many cars tha
will be required to handle the enor
nous tonnages of ore that will b'
taken from the mines as soon as th
smelter is blown in.
The trestle work at the Sta
Pointer is being filled in, and exten
siye Yards will also be put in at tha
point
Mr.. Judell gave The News persona
assurance that this work will g
ahead vigorously, and as many mel
as can be used on the work will b
given employment.
At the smelter site at McGill, ther
are now 700 men or more at worn
There have been no discharges saw
of a few foreigners whose class o
work has been completed. No skill
ed labor has been laid off, and assur
ance is given that none will be lai
off.
At the mines at Copper Flat, ther
is now a general demand for mer
and in view of the shortage OF Amer
can working men for the places,
number of those foreigners who wer
given their time checks last Saturda
may have to be re-employed.
The Nevada Northern railway ha
already been instructed by the Col
per Flat mines to send up as man
cars as can be spared from this en-
of the line, in order that they ma
have a greater quantity of cart
moving on the new work all the tim'
