Word comes from Reno to the eff
feet that Hugh H. Brown is leading
in the race for the supreme judiciary
for the state of Nevada. against
Judge Talbot Mr.. Browns lead is
limited to few votes. but II is un-
derstood that the precincts yet to
be heard from will add to Browns
plurality. 1t Is also claimed that
Ahern will be elected as surveyor
general.
Wrangiing Is still an important
factor In connection with returns
from the distant precincts In this
county. II Is now claimed by the
friends of j. c. Wheeler that he has
been elected commissioner by late
returns and the Shelenberger faction
maintains that such Is not the case.
Returns have been so badly mixed
that IL will be almost an impossible
ity to decide definitely on this ques-
tion until they are counted by the
commissioners when the ballot boxes
are opened.
Sealed boxes containing the bal
at the court house. but reports from
two of the precincts are lacking. This
fact has given cause for an argument
in the Wheeler-Shellenberg case.
It is understood that the Blackhorse

Of THE
ELECTION Of
TAFT IN
ELY
U'Onderfui ReDiO-
al of Industrial
4cti0ity ST n C e
Result Of Conflict
UdS announced

within the next few months, i'm
provements to the amount of $4,000
will have been made in this city ana
vicinity"
This statement was made by a
prominent real estate man in Ely
yesterday and he continued that the
election of Mr.. Taft is responsible for
decision of capitalists to invest here.
Many other optimistic expressions
have been heard since Mr.. Taft's vic
tory was announced.
There has never been a time in the
history of Ely when such a change
has been noted in such a short time
as that of the latter part of the last
week Activity such as that charac-
terizing the boom days in Ely is to
be seen on every hand in the local
district.
A general feeling of gratitude ex-
lists among the merchants of the city
and a difference has already been re-
corded in their receipts, according to
statements to a News representative
yesterday.
Contrary to the general opinion
that conditions of oppression would
exist at least for several weeks after
election, the community is entering
boom stage that will fall far short
, of expectations If it does not eclipse
the boom of two years ago. Favor
able reports from the eastern stock
markets have created a general feei-
ing that Ely's position at the top
of the list of mining camps is not far
away.
Increase in traffic to and from this
city is another evidence of rapidly
approaching good times. Travelling
men declare that the large business
houses of the country are making
preparations to employ scores of
more representatives on the road and
that orders are already rolling in
rapidly
1t is reported that several enter
prises will be launched here before
the end of the year and number of
modern business blocks will soon be
constructed.

made and then the efficiency of the
service will be steadily improved and
increased. No train schedules have
yet been arranged, in fact, no details
have been gone into. All that | can
definitely say now is that the road
will be opened up very soon and that
the event will be a mighty factor in
the development of this country
Over 100 miles of the western end
of the Western Pacific is now in op-
Grafton from Oakland, Cal, east. The
gap which remains to be spanned by
the rails extends from Wells, New,
to the eastern point of the line In
California. and all possible haste Is
being employed in completing 1t.
Two thousand men are now work
ing on that unfinished section of the
line, and between six and eight
months is the estimated time when
the entire system will be completed.
Nearly 80 per cent of the grading and
over 65 per cent of the tunneling of
the gap is now finished, and the light
est part of the construction work re-
mains
The tariffs on the eastern part of
the road are being prepared for the
opening and arrangements for the
equipment made. Stations have been
built at Grants, Dele. Wendover and
Shafter, though Mr.. Derrah has not
yet appointed the agents for the va
rious stations.
