DESCRIPTION OF
PARTY. AT SHELTER
LIST OF THOSE OF ELY WHO AT
TENDED THE DELIGHTFUL
DANCING PARTY.
Communicated

Notwithstanding the alleged hard
times" party at Ely the Smelter staff
dance at Smelter came off Saturday
night on schedule time and every
thing was an immense success.
The special train bearing the mer-
ry-makers reached the camp about
$3.50 and by 10 o'clock the dance was
in full swing. A number of the young
men of Smelter took advantage of the
lateness of the evening train to go
to Ely and escort the party back to
camp.
The handsome, new executive
office building was tastefully deco
rated for the evening, special atten-
tion having been given to the main
office room in which the dance was
held. The decorations consisted of
masses of festooning of different col
ors, together with colored lights,
flags, etc A number of other rooms
in the building were provided with
card tables for the benefit of those
of the guests desiring rest between
the dances.
A string orchestra had been Sc
cured from Ely and the music was
in every respect all tnat could be de-
sired.
About midnight a buffet luncheon
was served after which the dancing
was resumed and kept up until an
early hour in the morning.
All in all the dance was the most
successful ever given at Smelter and
upon it's conclusion many of the
guests took occasion to express their
appreciation of the hospitality ac-
corded them. No rains were spared
to make the affair success and the
result was an enjoyable evening to
both the hosts and their guests.
The dance was in the nature of a
| house warming, the new office build
ing, which will be the permanent
home of the official staff, having just
been completed and turned over to
the company. After the invitations
were issued some little misgiving
was felt at Smelter as to the pos
sible attendance which might be ex-
pected from the camp to the south,
and in some quarters the opinion
was held that the delights of hard
times party might have the effect of
keeping at home many of those whose
presence had been counted upon
here. The attendance, however,
showed the utter groundlessness of
this view, the result being a really
larger number of people present than
had been expected.
Smelter people, both bachelors and
benedicts, together with the wives
and families of the latter. were well
represented, in addition to which a
number of complimentary invita-
tions were also sent to former men,
bers of the staff now residing at
other points.
