Nearly 900 boys were there, gathered

strange surroundings. undergoing a
change of diet and manner of living
and yet the last one came through IN

were so numerous as to be appalling

ascribed to the rigid military discipline

High School,
Boys are to
Play Football

The boys of the Tonopah high
school are to organize football team
at once and will try and secure games
with the Goldfield and other school
teams. There are some quite husky
youths at the Tonopah schools, and
while but few of them have had any
experience at football, there are a
number of old varsity stars here
abouts who will assist in coaching
them, and it is believed that a strong
team can be made up. The boys will
hold a meeting Wednesday night for
the purpose of organizing their team
and developing ways and means for
the purchase of suits and other
equipment. The regular intercollegi-
ate game, not the Rugby, will be
played. Parents of the scholars and
the people of the town should sup
port the team, as there is no sport
so conductive to manliness. courage
and self-control as the American
game of football.

Big ELY SHELTER
SOON COMPLETED
WILL BE A 2O-OO0-TON PLANT
AND WILL HANDLE 2 PER
CENT ORE AT PROFIT.

The new smelter at Ely is now
handling 5000 tons of ore per day,
when completed this smelter will be
composed of four 5O00-ton units,
combining concentration and smelter
plants. In six months, it is claimed,
the entire plant will be in shape to
handle the entire 10000 tons per
day, thus making it one of the great
est plants in the world. There are
millions of tons of 2 per cent and
better copper ore in sight around
Ely, and much of this is being handl-
ed entirely by steam shovels, this
tending to very much lessen the cost
of handling the ore. At the prevail
ing average price of copper, the per
cent ore is worth $500 per ton. 1t
is claimed that this can be mined and
smelted at a profit of so cents per
ton. While the plant is running at
full capacity this will mean a profit
of $4,000 per day on the run of ore.
Copper ore is being mined at Ely at
a cost of 40 cents per ton.

BILLY WOODS HAS
A GREAT RECORD

To the most conservative fight
fans, from the following record of
Billy Woods, it seems only fair and
Just to here state that for class, he is
a we'll qualified top-notcher. The
only man that both Woods and Mus
tain have met was Tom Riley, who,
it will be remembered, gave Mustain
such a beating. Yet Woods knocked
Riley down twenty-four times in the
short space of six rounds. Riley
scored one knock down in the second
round, and. it was the only knock
down in Woods career. Woods, it
must be admitted, is exceedingly
clever, one of the best we have ever
seen, and at the age of 26 has been
fighting for nine years His first
fight was in Los Angeles in 1899,
when he beat Jim Tremble in twenty
rounds He has to his credit a
twenty-round draw with Joe Walcott
in the same year; a victory over
Cyclone Kelly in 1899, in Oakland a
victory over Joe Miller in twenty
rounds at Dawson in 1900; knocked
out Dick Burley at Dawson for the
championship of Alaska in 1901;
fought Tommy Burns fifteen-round
draw in Seattle in 1902; Mike
Schreck draw in twenty-five rounds
at San Francisco in 1902. Woods
scored the first knock-down in
Schrecks career in the sixteenth
round of this fight.
