RESUME OF WEEK SHOWS MUCH THAT IS GOOD
day. Nearly half as much more will be put out between now
and the fifteenth by Giroux. the Nevada Northern and the small
er developing mining companies whose pay days are yet to
come. November work will accordingly call out nearly $300,0 900
for circulation in the camp, the total being the largest yet at
tanned and marking the way for a still bigger one as the result
of December work. This latter will be bigger by reason of in
creased work at McGilL, Copper Flat, the Giroux and on the
smaller properties. The steady increase in work is exceedingly
good and a splendid demonstration of the progress the camp is
WINTER BRINGS NO cHECK-Winter is upon us, and
yet there is not the slightest falling off in development
work, or in the production of ore. On the contrary, the out
put of the Steptoe Valley Smelling and Mining company at
McGil promises to be greater for December than for the
record month of November just closed. New work is start
ing up right along, and more is promised; while the demand
for properties continues.
A BOUNTIFUL EEK the work advances, the
claims of Ely are pushed more persistently before the pub
lie, and this week has proved no exception to the rule. The
definite shaping of the Ely-Goldfeld road and the near six
million output of copper have made the rest of the country sit
up and take notice. The alliance of the Western Pacific in
traffic arrangements with the Utah-Nevada has made the camp
become very prominent on the country railroad map, while
its copper advances it a notch in dividend list interest. Both
features conspire most effectively to give the camp broader and
stronger position than ever before. In which alone 1t has
been a bountiful week.
CUSTOM sMELTER-The weeks visitors of prominence
numbered former United States Senator Thomas Keans, who
has interests here, and Veneral Manager c. b. Allen and J. A.
Smith of the United States Smelling Co., who may become
interested to extent of building another smelter to add to
the number OF the plants OF the united states 20. IneSe
gentlemen are making a very careful examination of the
various properties, and giving study to the geological con
ditions. They are consulting the geological and Topographic
cal maps and are going over the ground themselves, get
ting personally acquainted with the ore occurrences and
the ore reserves. They are n~on-committal as to building a
smeter, but they naturally would be SO. 1t IS known, never
theless, that there is good prospect of the United States
Smelling Co, building a custom plant in the district.
BELIEVES IN THE CAMP-Senator Kearns says that
Ely district is destined to be the greatest copper camp of the
world, and he says that with a knowledge of what there is
in the district and what they have in the camps throughout

greatest prosperity the country has ever known is now on the
advance, and that there is no escape for this district from
PLENTY OF M~ONEY-Tha the district has plenty of
money and also an abundance of enterprise has had several
demonstrations recently, the last coming yesterday in a forcible
way with the prompt taking up OF he stock alotmentof the
latest fotation. 1t had been a foregone conclusion for several
days that the issue would meet with this manner OF reception,
and it was made certain when the large interests identified with
it became known. 1t is hoped that their entry having been made
to the activities OF the camp, Mr.: Newhonse ana Mr, Rlce Will
ly identified with the opening up OF much new ground. In
bringing about the association which has occurred, Mr.. Grlfhths
comes in for the thanks OF the camp, for which his efforts prom
ALL FOR THE CAMP-The passing of the winter will
see more work, more development and more construction
work than was ever dreamed of in the days of the incipent
boom of Ely district three years ago; and with the improve
ments being made and in cotemplation the production will go
on and on increasing. Everything on the inside and the
outside is working for the benefit of the camp.
FIRST new deal for the camp came
yesterday in announcement of the first assessment calling for
any material amount that has ever been levied for a local copper
property. The assessment was levied by the Boston Ely and is
for 80 cents the share. 1t did not come as a surprise, there hav-
ing been rumor current for several days that the action would
be taken by directors of the company. Considerable of the
stock is held in the district, and while some of it was parted
with on the assessment rumor a good deal will be held. There
is no end of home confidence in the ground and so cents more
ON the stock is a small matter in comparison with the results
that there is confidence the present campaign, which the assess
ment will carry to conclusion, will bring about. Boston Ely has
never in any manner urged it's stock on the market, the issue
on the other hand having to be sought. Those holding the CON
troll have kept the issue for the most part very closely. They
outside help. So the minority holders cannot complain on the
assessment. The latter is likely to put the stock some lower in
the quotations, but with the making of the mine this will appeal
as of but small Importance.
