WARD MINE MAKES
EXCELLENT SHOWING
FOR LOCAL OPERATOR
Nevada United Outputs Car Load Of
High Grade Lead Silver Ore As
Twenty Days Work.

Twenty days work on the Nevada
United mine near Ward, on which he
holds lease, netted Sam Cocroft of
this city car load of valuable lead
silver ore, which he will ship as soon
as prices on the two metals rise. AS
says from the ore he took out of the
mine showed as high as sc per cent
lead with good values in silver The
ore is on the dump, sacked and ready
for shipment.
While he is waiting for rise in
the prices of metals he will spend
some time in other fields looking
after his mining interests, leaving
here Monday for southern Idaho.
where he has considerable mining
property. He will return to this dis
trict in about two weeks.
Ii is not probable Cocroft will do
any more work on his Nevada United
lease until a material rise in the
price of lead and silver is
noted, but after that time ii Is his in
tention to go about regular produc-
ton.

IS
REAL PERIL
Taft Boomers So Look
Upon the New York
Man at This Time.
CORTELYOU IN BREACH
Pushed Into New York In Hopes
of Breaking Hughes Strength.
The Presidents Position.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
straight out declaration of President
Roosevelt on Thursday that under no
circumstances would he accept of
nomination next year for the presi-
dency has set politicians at work in
earnest for their respective candidates
and the capital is buzzing with this
topic alone 1t has dwarfed congress
and all other affairs of the hour.
1t would be somewhat difficult to
reach definite conclusion as to crys-
tallized political sentiment But the
tendency was toward consensus of
opinion that the presidents deelara-
ton will force the conservatives in
this party to concentrate at an early
date upon their candidate; also that
1t precipitates an immediate fight in
New York state for the control of that
delegation between Hughes and Cor
telyou. Furthermore, that it makes
the southern delegations the object of
solicitation by the prospective candi-
dates and adds to the interest of the
political situation in the south.
Keenest interest will center at once
upon New York. 1t is generally be-
lieved that President Roosevelt will
swing New York for Taft. 1t is ac-
cepted as a matter of course that the
Cortelyou boomers will proceed with
expedition to build up Cortelyon or
garization in the state.
Politicians said today that if Gov
ernor Hughes should come out in the
open as an avowed candidate Cor
telyou's standing would be imperiled.
They added that Governor Hughes
will have to do it very soon or there
after hold his peace The Taft men
were delighted with President Roose-
velt's announcement. They felt that
it has cleared the atmosphere for
their candidate. The next develop
ment in the presidential political sit
uation is the possible resignation of
Secretary Taft from the cabinet and
his going it alone in the presidential
race. 1t will be recalled that the re-
port was current last spring before
Mr.. Taft departed for the orient that
he might resign from the cabinet in
December. The report was based
upon the fact that some of his friends
advised him to pursue such course.
1t is as much known at the White
House today as il an official an
nouncement had been made that
President Roosevelt has no second
choice. He is for Taft and for no one
else.
Cortelyou is not his second choice.
From now on the race. so far as the
president is concerned, is to be Taft
against the field.

steadily ahead, work now being down
to the first level. 1t is expected that il
will reach the second level, or approx
imately 400 feet by the first of Feb
ruary. This will place it in line to
go in commission for the delivery of
the ores of the various workings to
the bins at the surface.
Grading for foundations for the
big new hoist is well under way. This
will be finished within a short time
and the machinery installed. Two
weeks more will probably see the end
of this portion of the work.
Grading for the extension of the
tracks of the Nevada Northern is be-
ing pushed. While many more yards
of dirt and rock remain to be re-
moved. the headway that is being
made indicates that it will only be a
short time before the last cut is COM
pleted and the grade ready for track
laying. The end of the track at pres
ent is short distance below the cut
now engaging the attention of the
working crew.
At the townsite several more houses
for miners are under construction.
The town, regularly laid out and
neatly painted, presents a pleasing
sight to the visitor and adds greatly
to the appearance of the locality
Minor improvements around the prop
erty, together with those named,
make an imposing total and one on
the scene will find much to interest
him.

few men beside the Greeks who we're

could perform had been completed.
Readiness has existed for the re-

east for some days. They are still
expected at any time. There have
been rumors of conditions coming
about or already in edect which might
make for change of plans but there
has been nothing official received here
in this regard from headquarters SO

to be against the coming of other

SPLENDID POWER
PLANT IS NEARING
COMPLETED STATE

One of the matters of pride in this
district within a very short time will
be the electric lighting and power
plant. which is now under course of
construction for the Ely Light &
Power company in Ely City. 1t will
furnish light and power to all of the
mines of this district including those
of the allied companies and any OF
the other operators desiring the SER
vice. The total power generated at
the opening will be 1000 kill
watts, by two generators of
500 kilowats each, or about LOO
horse power. The building is de-
signed with a view to doubling its
capacity later.
Designed by DR.. F. A. c. Perryne,
of New York, the plant, now near
completion, will have few rivals in
the west, when completeness of
equipment and quality of every por-
ton of the machinery used is con-
suited. In installing the machinery
and carrying out the original designs
of DR.. Perryne, Chief Engineer c. ID.
Vail of the Townsite company has
demonstrated high degree of skill.
Faithfully adhering to the design
originally made, brick and concrete

Report of much interest has come
in the last several days to effect that
the Brock smelter which was planned
for location on the Brock line out of
Tonopah will be located at McGill
and that the breaking of ground early
in the new years is to be expected.
How much truth there is in the re-
port ii is not possible to tell, but there
are known conditions which make 1t
appear plausible. 1t is entirely
among the possibilities that still an
other smelling concern will find Its
way to McGill beside the Brock plant
McGill is attractive as smelling
point not only in its freedom from
litigation. but also from the fact that
the district has everything to extend
In needed fiuxes for smelter operation
to the very best advantage. Such
source of supply, SO highly essential,
is one of the big points In favor OF
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Consoi-
idated and will enter largely into the
reduction of their copper costs. Inc
anormous advantage to these compa-
nies of such possession is not going
to be overlooked by others. Carriage
of ores here from TonOpah and Cold
field would not entail the expense lha'
distance of smelters there from nuA-
ing materials and from other aoyan,
taees that are enjoyed here would
make. McGill is bound to be great
smelling point, whether other smelt-
ers come there or not. for beside tne
ores of the immediate district tne
smelter there is going to handle an ~
immense tonnage from the outside
in the very nature of things.

Pay roll money will be in circula-
ton during the present week to prac-
tically the same amount as last
month. near 100000. Business is
good in the city with the merchants,
who do not now look for the heavy
decline in receipts for this Decem-
ber as compared with last December
that they anticipated earlier in the
season. Trade yesterday was partic-
ularly brisk, some of the stores de-
claring that they would ask nothing
better at any time. Money is more
plentiful in local channels. Cashiers
checks continue in circulation and
have relieved entirely any stringency
that may have been felt in Noyem-
ber. The report has not to this time
been officially confirmed but is in free
circulation in Salt Lake and Ogden
that cashiers checks will be retired
the first of the year, sufficient cur
rency now being in hand to enable
this step. If retirement occurs in the
places named it will be followed
