CLAY DEPOSIT
IS BONDED
WILL BE COM
MENCED FOR SHELTER WHICH
LARGE BODY OF MATERIAL.

Ben Clark, Charles Niece, Marion
Shallenberger and Mr.. Alexander
yesterday closed a deal with the Step
toe Valley Smelling & Mining Co
whereby the latter secures a work
ing bond in the sum of S12. 900 on
property near the Peacock mine. A
bed of fire clay has been opened on
this ground TO some extent by those
agreeing to make sale.
The life of the bond is 80 days.
Immediate steps will be taken by the
Smelling Co. To further prove tie eX-
tent of the clay deposit and If the
results expected are secured the
property will be taken over and
permanent force employed there to
produce clay for shipment to Shelter,
where there Is much need of II for
use in the making of converter lin
ings. The property is located 10
miles east of Ely.
That there was scarcity of clay in
the immediate district WAS learned
a few months ago. when the Shelter
management commenced looking
around for a supply for their eXtetn-
sive needs Since that time pros
pectors have been in the field. and
the most desired thing locally has
been the location of a large body of
clay The property bonded yester-
day is the first to hand with any con-
siderably supply in sight.
In the absence of clay, blue mud
from the swamp lands below Shelter
has been used TO such advantage as
possible at the reduction works.
While this material has fallen far
short of clay in desirability and ser
vice. 1t has been made TO work until
clay could be located. In the event
the ground bonded yesterday proves
up. a situation that has promised to
prove embarrassing and expensive
will be relieved at early date.

The July net earnings reports Of
railroads coming to hand and those
of gross earnings for the latter weeks
of August indicate a slender founda-
ton for the more sanguine estimates
of the rate of improvement. The
same is true of the returns from the
iron and steel trade, where the re-

tedly slow On the side of the crops
il is realized that some reyisions OF
the most hopeful estimates must be
made. although contentment with the
