In writing OF the Ely district, Mr..
Newett. of Iron Ore. says that there
are no water limitations here; that
there is an abundance for all needs.
He is very observing and usually
very correct writer on all matters
pertaining to mining His correct
ness in this matter means that the
camp will make The biggest mining
and smelling center in all the west.

sLICING THE ORE DEPOSITS.

Looking after this system in the
Cumberland-Ely We found Henry
Prouse, late of Ishpeming, where he
had been employed at the Cleveland
Lake mine, and who is well versed
in the slicing. caving. ore settling
system OF ore extraction. He was
underground foreman and was GER
tainly proving that the slieing plan
is the only one TO use on the copper
deposits such as those of the Ely
district. The Cumberland-Ely cop
per sheet is rather fiat, and the cap
ping came down freely following the
taking of the ore slices, making an
ideal condition for this kind of work.
Since the introduction of this plan
for taking the ore, much smaller
timber is employed than formerly.
All the ore is taken, the percentage
of accident 10 men and property is
much less and the mining cost has
been lessened nearly one-half. The
mine is producing about 1900 tons
daily, the output being sent to the
McGill smelter, twenty-six miles dis
tant, and the rather small mining
force is kept busy to meet this re-
quirement. All work underground
is done upon the contract plan, which
may account for the good average per
man. 1t is the only way to operate
properties of this kind. Men are paid
according to their accomplishments

than the poorer. The company fixes

George A. Newett, editor of Iron
Ore. last week followed up de-
scriptive article printed the week be.
fore in his paper on Ely district prop
critics. with further extended and
highly interesting story. Not the
least of the features contained there
in is the statement that Giroux smelt-
CT will probably be built on its own
grounds at the mine, provided suffi-
cient water can be secured in the
mine. The intimation is rather that
the concentrator of the company will
be built elsewhere. Mr.. Newett also
doubts very much whether Giroux
smelter will handle custom ores. be-
lieving that in handling the great ton
mage it will produce twill be kept
very busy. He speaks of need of a
custom plant in the district and indi-
Gates belief that 1t will not be long
in coming. Concerning Cumberland
Ely and Nevada Consolidated he has
much TO say that is of decided inter
est. OF these properties and Giroux,
he writes as follows:
THE CUMBERLAND ELY.
In the last issue oil Iron Ore We
mentioned that only two mines were
now active in the Ely camp, these
being the Cumberland-Ely and New
ada Consolidated, little more than
two miles to the eastward. Between
these active properties, as We wrote,
lies the mineral property of the Cir
oux Consolidated Mines company.
The Cumberland-Ely as shown by
our sketch map. is operating at the
extreme western limits of the Ely
formation, being cut
of from further naturalization OF
this kind by the limestone which
carries no copper here except in
narrow assures and this close TO the
porphyry contact. We had the pleas
ure OF visiting the underground work
ings of this mine, in company with
Mr.. b. c. Lakenan, who has charge
of it as we'll as the Nevada Con-
solidated and the Steptoe Smelter,
important enterprises that he hand
les skilfully and forcefully. The

mines by Duncan McNichie formerly
of the Lake Superior country, and
who for several years has been a
successful operator in the Utah
fields, where he has revolutionized
mining.

BLIND STAGGERS KILLING
HORSES IN CEDAR NECK

David w. Mills, Of Cedar Neck, has
lost this week three valuable horses and
has two more that are quite sick and
will most probably die. After the fist
horse died, and the others became ill,
Mr.. Mills at once advised the State
Board Of Agriculture, whereby DR.. F.
P. Ruhl, the veterinarian OF Sussex
County, was ordered to look after the
case and sOoH found that the animals
were suffering with cerebrO spinal men.
gifts, commonly known in this section
as blind staggers. At this time no other
cases have been reported but there
seems to be an outbreak Of this malady
in and around Milford every two or
three years, and many horses usually
succumb to the attacks. The disease
attacks the animal suddenly and but
very little aid can be rendered, most
always the disease proving fatal.

NarrOwIy Escaped Belne KlIIed.

"Fizz" Walls, little cOlored boy OF
Milford aged about years, narrowly
escaped being killed Wednesday night.
Nathaniel Stewart was passing through
town with his traction engine and at
tached thereto was a straw.Ticker upon
which little "Fizz" jumped for a short
ride. When near the corner Of Second
and Church Streets the little fellow
missed his footing and the latter ma
chine ran over him, but fortunately no
bones were broken or external wounds
discovered, nor anything that would
indicate any serious internal injuries.
DT. Samuel Marshall was summoned
and rendered medical aid. It was al
most miraculous that the boy was not
instantly killed.

KENT COUNTY TROLLEY
RIGHTS OF WAY SOLD

Considerable interest was shown on
Tuesday in Dover at the public sale Of
81 tracts OF land comprising the rights
Of way from Smyrna to Milford, in
Kent County, by way Of Leipsic and
Woodland Beach They had been Sc
cured for q trolley line by the Delaware
General Electric Railway Company,
in which Philadelphia parties were in
terested some years ago. Instead OF
selling the separate rights, Attorney
r. R. Kenney for Receiver s ephen
Slaughter, stated that as these rights
had been secured for q trolley line ex-
clusively, they could only be used for
that purpose which ever way they were
purchased, either separately or in the
whole. They we're then offered IS a
whole, and the entire 81 tracts were
purchased by James Lord, q Dover
real estate agent, for $500. A tract uear
Camden containing over five acres OF
land, purchased by the trolley people
as a site for a power-hOuse, was sold
separately bringing S17O, also being
purchased by Mr.. Lord.
It is generally supposed the purchase
by Mr.. Lord was for the original pro-
mOters Of the Kent County trolley, Of
which Leo Belmont, Of Philadelphia,
was president, his presence at the sale
with Mr. Lord giving rise to such sus-
picion. There is q contention, however,
among lawyers about Dover as to the
ability Of the receiver to give a clear
title to the 81 tracts, it being generally
that the tracts revert to the
owners in view Of the fact that no troll
ley line has been built. With this un-
certain state Of affairs, it is possible
That a test will be made in the courts
as to the status Of the rights Of way.

cause Of the trouble. Ifso, no wever, it
