With regard to Boston Ely. Mr..
Ralph said yesterday that he had
recommended further depth in the
mine and believed that within short
time sinking would be resumed in the
shaft. The ore and formation which
have been encountered in the drifts
from the lower level all encourage
this further development, while the
known conditions in Veteran mine of
Cumberland Ely and all conditions
that Boston Ely development has
brought about encourage the belief
that with the greater depth which
Mr.. Ralph is desirous of making the

The Democratic vote" of $50
polled on last Saturday in Ely
brought out about so Democrats last
night to attend the meeting of the
Ely Democratic club. Sixty was said
after the meeting by attendants to
be a liberal estimate.
Three hundred Democrats, go-

night. This in the face of the fact
that free beer and other refresh
ments" had been advertised in the
local Democratic organ and heralded
at the last previous meeting as an in
ducement to secure attendants at the
meeting last night. On the face,
here is a piece of conclusive proof
that there was more than two hun
dred wrongly labeled votes in that
Democratic count last Saturday.
Whether due to the small attend
ance or to change in plans from
some other cause, is unknown. but
the fact remains that the faithful
and hopeful sixty who assembled
were disappointed in the matter of

night from the rather morose gen

it was to come up at the next meet
