CITY AND OGDEN.
PLANS FOR ENTERTAINING THEM
Visitors Will BE Taken to Shelter
and the Mines-Can Stay
Five Days.

They are coming in great numbers.
The big excursion train from Salt
Lake and Ogden will roll into this
city Saturday morning at o'clock.
The people of Ely and Ely City
will be on hand to receive the visit
ors and show them what hospitality
really means.
Reports from the Utah cities are
most encouraging, and judging from
word received from the commercial
bodies of the two places both will be
well represented
The Ely band will be on deck and
will fill the air with music.
The Commercial club is working
arduously to make the visit of the
Utah people an enjoyable one. They
are not overlooking anything that
might tend to make the affair the
success it promises to be.
The stock exchange has been Sc
lected as the headquarters and the
members of the reception committee
John Weber, j. A. Fesler, Fred
Pheby, A. r. Whitehead and Fran
els Kline-will be present to direct
the visitors to the various points of
u.
act as the Reception committee, and
each member will take 1t upon him
self to see that on one is overlooked.
The regular members of the Recep-
ton committee will wear badges des-
ignating them as such.
At the headquarters will also be
the following-named persons, who
will assist in entertaining and will
give out any information the visitors
may desire to know concerning the
resources of the county.
Secretary Ellis of the Commercial
club wrote to the clubs at Ogden and
Salt Lake several days ago, asking
them what the people were doing
| toward boosting the excursion. He
received letters from each of the sec
retaries yesterday. |. j. Reynolds
of the Weaver club of Ogden,
wrote that although the organization
was not taking hold of the PROPOSE
ton as a body, the members had met
and discussed the matter, and were
working with the end in view of in
| ducing as many people to make the
| trip as possible. The excursion has
been we'll advertised in both cities,
and the papers have contained ar
ticles describing Ely and the mining
properties. Mr.. Reynolds will be
among the eXcursionists and feels
certain there will be big crowd.
The secretary of the Salt Lake
Commercial club also writes an en-
couraging letter and states that the
club members are working hard to
make the affair success. He has no
doubt but that his city will send a
large delegation.
He states that the club is planning
big excursion to Ely for next fall,
and that steps are now being taken
! toward thoroughly advertising the
proposition. The club only recently
ran an excursion into Idaho and the
affair proved most satisfactory. The
| trip to Ely next fall is to be even bet
ter advertised than the one to Idaho.
The people of Utah realize the great
| future of the town and it is quite GER
tain that the excursion will bring
good results.
The train will probably stop at Ely
city long enough for the people to
have breakfast There will be
diner on the train, and the visitors
will be given the best to be had. AS
General Manager L. G.. Cannon of the
Nevada Northern sent word to
the Commercial club to make ar
engagements for taking the excursion
lists to the smelter, the club in
structed Secretary Ellis to reply that
such arrangements would be made.
The train will probably leave Ely city
after breakfast for the smelter. The
camp at the smelter and the build
ings that are in the course of con-
struction will prove of great interest
to the big crowd of sightseers.
In addition to the trip to the
smelter, those who so desire will be
| taken to the mines. There will be
plenty of rigs on hand for conducting
wherever they wish to go.
band concert will probably be on
the programme, and there has been
some talk of banqueting the visitors
These matters, however, will not be
decided until the next meeting of the
Commercial club committees.
Many of the excursionists will re-
turn home Sunday night, but those
who wish can stay over two or three
days longer and return on the regu-
lar train. The excursion tickets are
good for five days.
