ELY THE
NAME NOW
SuppIants Ely City--TOwn
is in Best..Shape in Its
HistOry--Nuch Activity

With establishment of the East
Ely postoffiee IL is understood that
the name of Ely City will pass out
of usage. 1t will be removed from
the Nevada Northern depot and from
all the printed matter of the rail-
road company. including tickets, East
Ely being substituted.
The railroad change and the
change in address of mail matter for
Ely City people TO East Ely will be
the most important All railroad
correspondence will be ordered ad-
dressed to the general Offices in East
Ely and throughout the country the
railroads will be advised to inform
their. freight and passenger agents of
the change.
The Ely Townsite Co and other
business firms in Ely City using that
name on their stationery will make
change to East Ely, and later on
steps are probable which will make
East Ely the title in all legal docu-
ments. The school district is now
under the title of East Ely and as
time passes East Ely will be substi-
tuted in all other respects.
The new name certainly starts I'M
der auspieious circumstances so far
as activity in the town is concerned.
The number of houses under con-
struction for rental to mine and
Smelter people at rates which are
i lower than ever before afforded in
/ the district. represent only a be-
ginning at this enterprise, which i'm
/ the next several months will call for
the expenditure of many thousands
of dollars and which has already
awakened a great deal of new de-
mand for real estate in the townsite
and brought to the fore plans for
much new building.
Beside the house construction now
under way. the new school building
for the East Ely district is crowding
along and when complatei ~ struc-
ture will be the finest and best ar
ranged of its kind In the state. Re
tween $4,000 and $4,000 will be
expended on it before finished in De-
cember. The Standard Oil buildings
and tanks are just completed at cost
of several thousand dollars. the Ne
yada Northern has just commenced
construction of a large blacksmith
shop building, within a few weeks
erection of large building for dance
hall and other purposes will be COM
menced. meaning expenditure of In
the neighborhood of $4,000. while
several other building enterprises
are coming about for business pur-
poses. In the town there are at the
present time practically no vacant
houses. while demand for the new
houses which are being built is rum
ming ahead of expectations and will
bring in above 100 families in the
next few months Things look ex-
eeedingly rosy for East Ely
