The Stock Exchange headquarters
were crowded last night with mem
bers of the Commercial club, it being
the regular meeting night of the or
ganiZatiOn. The session was called
to order at S:45 O'Clock by President
As B. Wilcher. Secretary Harris read
the minutes of the meeting held May
28th last, which were approved.
The principal matter discussed was
the big excursion that is to be run to
this city from Salt Lake and Ogden
next Saturday. All were greatly in
terested in the scheme and the club
is anxious to see that the visitors
have a pleasant time while guests of
Ely. The secretary reported that he
had written the Weaver club at Og-
den and the Commercial club at Salt
Lake but that he had not received
any official reply from either organi-
zation. He had received informa-
tion, however, that demonstrated
that the people of both cities were
greatly interested in the excursion
and were coming in big crowds.
A telegram from L. G. Cannon of
Ogden was to the effect that a trip
be made to the smelter, so the excur-
to visit the big plant. The sugges-
tion was adopted and the secretary
was instructed to reply to Mr.. Can
non that such trip would be made.
H. c. Herrick suggested that a
trip be made to the mines, as many
of the Utah people intend coming
here to learn what the mineral out
look is. His suggestion was adopt
ed and committee will have charge
of that matter.
The following named persons were
appointed on the reception commit
tee: John Weber, j. A. Fessler,
Fred Poeby, Mr.. Whitehead and Mr..
Kline. The club members are to act
as committees of one of help enter
tain. rhe same committee will es-
cort the visitors to the smelter and
also to the mines.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hermanson a
committee was appointed to meet at
permanent headquarters as a bureau
of information. The chairman ap-
pointed Messers. Hermanson, Bein-
ford and H. G.. Herrick on this COM
mittee.
Upon the suggestion of F. M. Root
a committee was appointed to meet
with the county commissioners today
and see what can be done toward OBJ
tanning some of the $4,000 in the
county treasury that is to be devot-
ed to the city toward cleaning Ault-
man avenue before the visitors ar
rive. In case the county will not
furnish the money the committeeman
&C. r. Reeves, Judge Crump and
Joe Poeby-are to take up subscrip-
tions for lne same purpose.
The general plan as outlined by
the club for the excursion is for
every person to be a booster and to
see that the town is properly adver-
tised and that the visitors be made
at home.
Chairman .1line, of the committee
appointed to see that telegraph Of
flee is installed, reported progress.
Chairman Watson of the commit
tee on roads stated that the matter
would be taken up at todays meet
ing of the county commissioners.
F. S. Poeby, chairman of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
proposition presented by Colorado
paper for advertising the town at an
expense of $3.50, stated that the COM
mittee was opposed to the expendi-
ture and would not recommend ex-
pending more than $3.50. The com
mittee would not even suggest that
this amount be spent for that pur-
pose. The general opinion of the
members of the club was against the
proposition, and upon motion of Mr..
Neill the offer was refused. The
publication of 10000 copies of a
pamphlet explaining the mineral re-
sources and mining possibilities of
Ely, at an expense not to exceed $40,
was authorized. The pamphlets will
be distributed among the sightseers
next Saturday.

outstanding bills in the sum of $3.50.

inson of the executive committee
that it had been agreed to pay the
Stock Exchange the sum of 500
month for the use of their head
quarters as a meeting place. The
