THIS STORY WILL
NOT DOWN At ALL
Mining Officials Talk OF Ely but
Plead Ignorance on
Agreement.
GOSSIP GOES ON MERELY.
Looks a. IL Guggcnhcims Are Mapping
Ont Big Things In Smclt
irg Way.

American Smelling and Refining Of
flcals who have returned from trip
to Ely on which they were accom-
panied by Rio Grande railroad officials
are willing to discuss mining conditions
In the White Pine district but when
it comes to railroad matters they af-
firm all they know is what they read
in the Salt Lake papers The A. S. a
II. officials who made the trip to Ely
via the Western Pacific to Shafter ana
then down to Ely. included S. w. Ec-
cles, president of the Nevada Northern
and vice president of the A. 5. r.;
w. $. Morse, member Of the eNecu-
tive committee of the latter company
and others in high positions.
ELY PLANT BUSY
Mr. Eccles was around town all fore
noon. Mr.. Morse was in his office and
discussed mining and smelling matters
pertaining to the Steptoe valley plant.
This Is running to a daily tonnage of
about | 500 tons, approximately third
Of the proposed capacity. Furnaces IN
the smelling portion are being blown
In with perfect success, the commence
ment of activities in this line being
marked throughout with great pro-
mise for the future.
REPORTS ARE RELIEVED.
This is all good news but when the
conversation turns-that is to say,
when the interviewer would turn II to
railroad matters--nothing is forthcom-
ing. But that the Western Pacific and
Nevada Northern agreement is a go
is regarded as certain In this city.
Those holding the belief base their
opinions entirely upon the fact that
c. II. Schlacks, vice president of the
Rio Grande with A. $. Hughes. traffic
manager. and other ''way-up' Gould
officials met the "way-up" \. S, & r.
officials in this city and the whole
party went out over the w. p. and
down over the n, N. in a special
train. And to a majority this reason is
regarded as highly reasonable. That it
looks like business cannot be disputed.
MEANS BIG THINGS.
Shafter. the point at which the Ne
vada Northern tracks cross the West
ern Pacitic's is 100 miles west of Salt
Lake. From Shafter to Ely on the
Nevada Northern Is 1872 miles; the to-
tai distance to Ely from Salt Lake
over the two roads, 292 miles. Dame
rumor goes further than resting with
the agreement story II is out that
eventually the Western Pacific will ex-
pend money and time that would have
gone on a Shafter- Ely branch upon
an Ely-Pioche extension. The distance
between the two latter camps is 80
miles Then time will see another ex-
tension from Ely to the Tonopah CEN
ter-a distance of 125 miles. The lat
ter district Is rich in silcious ores that
would work beautifully with the fux-
ing ores of Phoebe. Hence Ely's flu
ture is a picture of great smelling
center. The Guggenheims own the Me-
vada Northern; the Guggenheims are
the biggest holders of Ely properties:
they own the Steptoe valley plant-the
thing unfOlds itself most natttraIlN-

THE BURGESS cos.
 SECOND PERFORMANCE
Again Appeared Before Large Audi ence at Vance Auditorium.

The residents of Mesa again turned out en masse last evening to see the Earl Burgess company in it's melo- drama, Tracked Around the World, which is one of the latest sensational successes in New York City. The play made a pronounced hit and the mem bers of the company were enthusias- tically encored.
 Miss Lillian Anderson was a great favorite as Robb Roy, the boy detec- tive, and the support given her by the other members of the cast was Splen- did. The settings were particularly well adapted to the varied scenes and locations called for by the presents tion of this melodrama. The climax occurring in Monte Carlo, and the re- production of this famous gambling place was well portrayed.
 Tonight the company will present what it considers the strongest and best play in the entire repretoir of the organization, Darkest Russia which depicts the workings of nihilists and revolutionists in this country in which customs almost medieval still prevail.
 The plot is well laid showing the in trigues in the inner court circles of the nobility of Russia. as well as the attacks which are constantly being made to undermine the government by revolutionary forces. The play closes with an exciting scene on the road to the Siberian mines. Everyone here should make an effort to see this play. both from its historical standpoint, and as depicting the true conditions pertaining in the land of the czar.

SEVERAL ACRES TO BE PLANTED
 IN SUGAR CAIN,

Willard Johnson and Daniel Dror- baugh, both residents of Mesa, will leave shortly for Queen Creek, where they expect to plant about forty acres of land to sugar cain. besides devoting a considerable acreage to the cultiva- tion of other crops. At this season of the year. the farmers in that section depend wholly upon the overflow of the river there for the successful ma turing of their crops and Messrs. Johnson and Drorbaugh will enter this list of cultivators. The raising of sugar cain has been found to be a very profitable industry, and has been planted and grown successful in sev- eral portions of the Salt River valley.
