Initial steps were taken at the Of

night looking toward the permanent

for the purpose of boosting ely,
and for advertising the camp Won
ders in every manner possible.
| The meeting which was called oy
| William II. Binford, manager OF the
Ely Mining Stock Exchange, and
others. was informal in character.
About a dozen business and mining
| agreed that the time had arrived
when the business and professional
interests of the entire camp should
cooperate to boost the district and
to cultivate among the residents of
the camp spirit of loyalty to the
camp and to her interests.
The meeting was called to order
by William II. Binford, who had is
sued an informal call to a number of
men whom he had previously ap-
preached on the matter, After stat
ing the purpose of the meeting, Mr.
Binford asked that temporary Off
GERS be selected to conduct the meet
ing. d. c. Mcdonald was elected
chairman and Charles r. Reeves sec
retary.
An informal discussion was then
held, and in ringing speech, Mr..
Binford declared that good fellow
ship and prosperity should be the slo-
gan of the organization.
"Such club as this. embracing
both the business and the social ele-
ments, can be made a power that
will act for the good of the entire
nj ty ic
ering, too much knocking too much
jealousy, TO ever make this big
camp.
1--WE have got to get over that
kind of business. 1t is childish. We
must all pull together, and work for
a greater Ely.
by Ely, | mean that the boundar-
les of this camp be fixed to read:
from McGill to copper Flat, and
from Hercules Gap to Comins' Lake
This town cant afford to fight with
itself and we cant afford to have
the impression go out that we are
divided against ourselves. That
scares capital away We want CAPT
tai to develop what we have and to
give us the benefit of enormous pay
rolls, and of its investments.
w
will work together, every man for
the entire district, and every man for
the best interests of the camp"
Others spoke similarly, and after
a discussion as to the best method of
procedure, 1t was suggested that
committee be appointed to draft by
laws for the government of the club

waited between the residents of the
camp. We all live here. We all
have out interests here, aEl We all
expect to stay here If We 10 ibis
we want to make the camo as big and
as busy as We can, and this can
never be done by knocking" We
have got to work together TO this
end.
Even if we never helped The camp
to make a dollar it would be bet
ter if we were more fraternal. 1t
would be pleasanter for everyone in
the camp if petty bitterness and ieal-
ousies were forgotten That's what
we're going to do-'forget it.
The next meeting of the new or
ganization will be held at the of
fees of the Ely Trust company Sat
