The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-10-30
GOOD FEELING EXISTS
SINCE DOUBT IS GONE
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT ALLIED
INTERESTS WILL CONTINUE
WORK RELIEVES TENSION.

The News story yesterday morning
telling of the decision of the New
York management of Ely enterprises
to return full operating forces To al
properties in the district and to the
extensive railroad work which is un-
der way, occasioned great deal oi
good feeling in the city. 1t brought
a return of high confidence in the
industrial and commercial outlook OF
the camp and made for immediate
improvement in trade.
The public pulse beat better and
stronger than for some time, fol
though there was no reduction in de-
veloping forces until last Saturday
there had been disquieting rumors
current for some time, to which the
actual cut in forces was the climax

| ing a return to activity, therefore
came with additional force as re.
assuring quantity The strain had,
in fact, hardly come in effect as re-
suit of the curtailment of operations
before it was lifted entirely; indeee
more than lifted, for not only was
the actual situation relieved but the
doubt that had been eXtant ard
which worked as much harm as the
actual letting out of men, was also
wiped out
Corroborative of The News state
ment yesterday in the strongest pos
sible manner was the presence on the
streets of operators in the district
and of railroad people in search Of
men to go to work While the
day before it was common report on
the streets that the Nevada Northern
would lay off number of crews,
yesterday the Nevada Northern peo-
pie were hunting for men to make up
one more crew than previously oper-
ated. The road is doing an immense
amount of work and competent
trainmen and locomotive engineers
can look this way for some time to
come with assurance that there will
be places for them from time to time.
With production from the mines next
year for the reduction works num-
ber of ore train crews will come on
while shipments of custom ore from
all over Nevada to the smelter at Nc
Gill are going to make a great deal
of new traffic on the main line of the
railroad.
Robinson district Is unquestionably
at the present time i'm the best shape.
industrially and commercially, of any
of the big copper camps. There is
not the stagnation and the gloom here
that prevails with all the rest of
them.
The turn of last week let out a
good many undesirable foreigners
who have either gone to railroad
work on the Western Pacific or will
go. Thirteen Greeks purchased tick
cts yesterday for this mornings train
out. Yesterday morning S train took
away many of them, while on the
train Monday morning they crowded
in until standing room only was left.
Their places in the mines are being
filled with Americans, which means
more business. for the merchants. of
the district, more homes and families
and better conditions in every way.
AS regards the mining situation in
the district it can be said conserva-
lively that in no other copper camp
in the country is 1t eXcelled. The ore
is here. blocked out In quantity suff
cient to keep the great reduction
plants at McGill, despite their enor-
nous capacity, busy for many wears.
This ore can be mined and made into
bullion at lower cost than anywhere
else in the country, with the possible
exception of Bisbee. where the rich
ores and high gold-silver contents
enable copper production at verv low
cost. 5 - to 6 y cents per pound.
Robinson can produce copper at
profit under the advantages it enjoys
at metal prices which will shut down
all but a very few other copper
camps, Bingham. Bisbee and jerome
being the notable exceptions. With
such an outlook it is not be wondered
at that the district is bnoyant and
that the turn in the tide brought
by the orders from New York on
Monday should bring about an instant
return of high confidence, and en-
thusiasm as to the certainty of rapid
growth in all ways; growth that it is
no more than conservative, all things
taken in consideration, to expect will
in the next several years make city
and district here bigger than Butte.
