NEVADA UNITED
Is DELIVERING
SOME fine ORE
FIRST CAR LOADED At ELY CITY
-THREE A WEEK Is THE
PLAN-MINE Is LOOKING VERY
GOOD 70 STOCKHOLDERS.

The FIRST car load of the rich lead
ore encountered some time ago at
the property of the Nevada United
Co. at Ward was shipped from the
yards in Ely City yesterday to Salt
Lake for smelter treatment. The
ore assays high in lead and contains
material amount of silver and gold.
The recent activity on the part of
General Manager Gates and his as
sociates in pushing operations at the
Nevada United is keenly felt in this
district, a number of Ely people be-
ing interested in the venture. Be-
side the actual production now being
carried on at the mines. the wagon
road from the mine is being improved
and put in the best possible condition
for ore hauling. The company an
ticipates shipping at least three car
loads a week for the present, in
creasing the shipments as the market
justifies. The haul 10 the railroad
is nearly IS miles but this fact will
not tend to retard operations.
Nevada United is looking exceed
ingly good and there is much reason
to expect that before the end of the
year it will be playing an important
part on the local market. The ore
now going out gives the best possible
evidence of the fact that this great
old time producer is fast getting into
shape to nine and better past rec
of7s

NEW UNLOADING SCHEME.

To date there has been a good deal
Of trouble experienced In unloading
cars at concentraior. This by reason
Of the fact that the wet ore packs in
the cars and with the jolting that
occurs between mines and Shelter
get in such shape that 1t fails to move
when automatic emptying is attempts
ed. IL has consequently been found
necessary 10 put men In the cars
with mauls to pound the ore down.
Recently Chief Engineer Dan Ormsby
of the Ely Townsite Co. and Engi-
neer Charles Backe of the Nevada
worked out compressed air idea
for assistance in unloading which II
Is believed will solve the problem.
The device they have recommended
and which is being made ready for
use is hose air pressure which when
put ON the ore I'm the cars will move
IL speedily.

THOUSAND TON DAY.

being sent down the ore line this

the stock at Shelter is now pretty
well up and that the mine will not
be called upon for heavy output un-
til the next section goes in at the
concentration The work of the week
has demonstrated that Veteran is
equal to emergency calls and that it
can deliver the goods as needed.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF STEALING HORSES

On March 18th IA black two-year-
old colt was stolen from w. II.
Finger Of Elvins. About n month
afterwards he found the colt in
possession of MIR. VIM. Mcdaniel
OF Pennington, who had bought it
of Henry Marler OF Doe Run. A
warrant was sworn out for MarleT
but he could not be found until last
Sunday, when Constable 7. V.
Brown and Deputy Sheriff London
heard of his being at home and
went out there and arrested him.
He was taken before Squire J. p.
Zolman Monday morning, who COM
mitted him to jail in default of bond
and set Tuesday for a preliminary
hearing. The hearing was contin-
ued on Tuesday to Saturday on ac-
count of the absence Of couple of
important witnesses.
In the meantime another charge
was filed against Marler by Fred
Gruner for an attempt to steal a
mare belonging to Marion Matkin,

CROOKED POLES.

Some Of the poles for the munich
pal lighting plant have arrived, have
been distributed along the streets
and are being put up. These poles
have occasiOned considerable criti-
cism on account Of their crooked
ness, but We are told that they come
within tn" specifications, and that
they will not look as crooked in n
standing position n they do lying
on the ground, Then We are told
that many of them have large
rotten places in tn" heart at the
butt end. Poles are an unsightly
though necessary evil in Il town
at best, and if some Of these poles
come within the specifications,
ii looks as II as much care was not
taken as should have been in draw
ing up the specifications.
We understand that the work un
the lighting plant is moving along
and it is hoped that it will hc ready
for operation within contract time,
which is ninety days from the date
the contract was let. Those having
the oversight Of the work cannot be-
too particular in seeing that every
thing is done right and in the best
manner, for the city cannot afford
to have u defective plant imposed
upon it. Some of the critics have
raised the question, "lf the poles,
which may be seen bv everyone, are
II source of free and open objection
what gualantc" has the city that
cheap and imperfect work, which
can only he detected by nn expert,
may not enter into III" construction
Of other parts Of Tia" plaut?"
1t is true that it is easy to find
fault, but it is also true that hecity
has bonded itself for IA considerable
amount to put in this plant, and
that it is entitled to first class
equipments throughout, and when it
is finished there ought not tn be any
room whatever for even suspicion
of graft

Open Air Concerts.

Last Friday evening the Farming
ton City Band gave the initial num-
ber ~ series of weekly op"n.air
concerts to be given during the
summer-June, July and August.
The Executive Committee OF the
Business Mems Club has made ar
raugoments with the band for these
concerts, and we have no hcisitancy
in saying that they will be greatly
enjoyed by our people. Tn" pro-
gram last Friday night was gotten
up on short notice, SO that no notice
OF the concert was given through
the papers, hut hereafter the pro-
grams for each concert will be pub
lishcd In the paper. The regular
night for these concerts will b" Fri
day, except on occasions where they
may conflict with som" other public
| lie entertainment or conditions may
arise that make ii impracticahlc for
the band to play on that night, in
which event the concert will he ON
some other night of the week and
notice given of the change.
Such condition as that men
| toned above occurred this week, 50
"nycrs" were put out announcing
the concert for "Wednesday night,
The program last Friday as well as
thnt on Wednesday night of this
week was an excellent one, and was
enjoyed 10y n large crowd. The band
is in excellent condition and has
improved greatly and continues to
improve. New music is being con-
tiuually added to its reporoir, the
newer numbers being som" Of tho
best and most popular selections
| from the latest compositions.
This band deserves to be cncour-
aged and we are glad to see Tia" sug-
gcstion advadced by The Times sew
eral weeks ago of engaging it for
| these opcu-uir concerts taken up by
the Executive Committee.
