reached Salt Lake from Ely Friday
afternoon greatly pleased with condi-
lions in the red metal camp of White
Pine county. says the Tribune. When
asked for the late news of Ely, he
said.
IT is getting to be pretty much
the same old story at Ely now, for
everyone keeps closely in touch with
conditions The camp never was
more prosperous, nor has il ever had
more solid foundations for that pros
perity. There is great deal of work
going forward at the smelling and
concentrating plants in Steptoe. The
smelter Is turning ont copper bullion
at lively clip, and the foundation
work for the new 800 ton blast fur
mace is being completed rapidly.
There is one thing, however, that
one can say for the concentrating
plant on which the world especially
has its critical eve. and that is, 1t
stands as one OF the most complete
metallurgical successes in the west
work. and the average of metallic
saving far exceeds the expectations

doing its work in a most gratifying
manner Three units are now in OPP

into commission next week. Excaya-
tions for another section are now I'M
der way
The Cumberland Ely Co is pro
yiding 700 tons of of copper ores per
day for this mill, the balance of the
ores now being treated coming
from the big cut on the Nevada Con-
solidated property. The Nevada Con-
solidated has four steam shovels in
operation. two working on ore, the
other two still eating away the over
burden.
The Ely Mines Co, the Gum
Thompson organization adjoining the
Ruth mines of the Nevada CONSOLE
dated Co, is working vigorously at
several points by numerous drifts,
erosscuts and ehurn drill operations,
its territory is being explored quick

even by the most optimistic.
In speaking of the district last
evening the colonel stated that II was
great pleasure 10 him to visit II
again and that while here he will go
over its mineral resources and visit
the Steptoe plant at Smelter, of which
he has heard much

AGAINST The The PEOPLE

We regret that our reply to the
numerous articles written by "Re-
movalo was crowded out last week,
for we had no intention of neglec-
ting him. We ike for Removal"
to talk and figure, for he always
gives himself away.
The mighty man says his articles
are attracting some attention, he
does not say what sort of attention,
but by reading between the lines
we gather, not very favorable at
tention. he says taxes are not near
what they seem, and proceeds to
give some figures; he figures it
down to one dollar on each ST 900,
each year, extended over a period of
4 years What kind of court house
does "Remoyal intend to put up9
A cheap affair down in Yerger' adj
dition?
They say that figures are "Re-
moval's" long suit. and that he is
mighty man to figure. No one
knows better than "Removal" that
a new court house in Home
would make $l0dJfook like
thirty cents, in fact there would
not be thirty cents left. Removal"
knows that is the sort of building
that would be put up and the peo-
pie would pay the freight. Instead
ofpaying one dollar on the basis he
figures, they would pay four. Then
Removal would have each prop
erty owner in the county pay $16,
on every 81, 600; $3.50, on $4,000
and 1920, on $1,000, for the pur-
pose of locating a court house in
Hope, not to speak of the interest
on those bonds. Then the incon-
venlence to the people of the county
cuts no figure with this mighty
man. The great chief builder
would tax and Inconvenience the
people for what purpose? What
would be the effec: of removal on
the price of lots the mighty man has
to sell9 Suppose this little schen
only cost each man in the aggregate
% cents, will "Removal" tell us
why each tax payer in the county
should vote to Inconvenience him
self and pay % cents in the bargain
in order to move the court house TO
Hope? Why, on the true basis.
should the man in the north end of
the County who owns $1,000 in
property vote himselfa a $16 tax and
twenty to thirty mile ride in or
