curing for Ely all outside trade nat
urally tributory to the city.
Atlanta judging from all reports,
is destined to become a live camp
with prospects of developing into one
of the most important mining centers
OF eastern Nevada. Coupled with
these prospects are those which
have to do with the commercial side
of the mining camp and it is in this
side that local business men should
interest themselves. Atlanta is nat
urally tributory to Ely and the trade
from that town can be had here if
the proper steps are taken. But these
steps will have to be taken by Ely,
or the trade will go south and Phoebe
merchants will profit by trade that
rightfally belongs to Ely. -
The question of improving the
road through Catt!ecamp mountains
was taken up some months ago. bnt
allowed to drop without definite ac-
ton being taken. It. is this same
proposition, which if handled now,
will bring Ely into close touch with
the new camp. The cost Of the i'm
provement would not exceed $4,000.

It is not often that one has the pleas- ure or discussing the art of reading with so clever and accomplished a young wom- an as Miss Marguerite Virginia Weaver the daughter of Judge s. L. Weaver and niece of Miss Daisy Rowley, one of the most talented and capable musicians In our city.
 Only few days ago it fell to my good fortune to have little chat with Miss Weaver about her studies the past two years at the Emerson College of Oratory in Boston, and indeed when I heard that she had been studying there immediate ly said:
 I feel sure that we will be quite con- genial friends for I studied within a stone's throw of the Emerson college at the New England Conservatory-and feel much in touch with everything in that neighborhood in Boston,"
 'Yes," replied Miss Weaver, We are just block. from your alma mater, and within a short distance of many more notable institutions. We are next-door neighbors to the Boston Symphony and within five minutes walk of the Fens, the public library, the new Museum of Fine Arts and close beside the splendid new opera house and the new hall of the Horticultural society,"
 "In fact the most aristocratic and lit-

erary center in Boston," I observed, "and it certainly takes me back to some very happy days, your speaking of those sur roundings. And how long have you been attending the Emerson School of Ora tory?"
 "The past year is my second" said Miss Weaver. Next year will be my senior year.
 Then you are near-sweet girl grad uate" I said facetiously And what are you going to do when you fnish?"
 Her pretty brown eyes beamed with de- light as this mere slip of girl said with the greatest amount of pride:
 "Oh! l have a great ambition ahead of me. You know that Is one of the won derful things about the Emerson college. If you go there without a fixed ambi- ton in life 1t is only very short time before you discover that you have a full 1iedged and specific idea of your future and what you mean to accomplish. think that this is largely due to the beau tiful training the pupils receive and the design and object of the college, which is first of all to make the student real ize his own potentialities and give such direction to his training that he may at tain them. The college you know, Is be- sides being school of oratory a school of belle lettres, as well; school of phy- sical training and a school of pedagogy"
 T think that is one reason that 1t stands so high in the educational world and l have often been there to the recitals and various entertainments. which thoroughly enjoyed. And how splendid to have Mir. William J. Rolfe's name at the head of the faculty as president emeritus I studied Shakespeare with Rolfe, and it is one of the pleasantest re- membranes of my school days.'
 We have the best talent the world af- fords," said Miss Weaver "One of our lecturers is Dr. Edward Howard Griggs, whom Birmingham has heard SO often, and then there Is Richard Burton, too, who is incomparable."
 And is your idea to be a platform reader, or will you teach?" asked
 "I mean to do both," replied this am-

charming afternoon was spent one day [

charming afternoon was spent one day last winter at Mrs. Jack Gardner's wonderful Italian villa shortly after she had all that trouble about the pictures she bought on the other side. It Is the most unique place I ever saw. From the massive, yet very plain exterior, fronting on the Fenway, you would never imagine that It contained the superb picture gallery and treas ures of art that 1t does. But the. rugs, furnishings and the collection of ceramics, and of course her pictures are the most superb things I ever saw"
 "I hope we are going to have the pleasure of hearing you in your read ings, Miss Weaver" I said in parting and I predict great triumphs for you in the future, for it is seldom that one meets girl so young who has so much ambition, and l feel sure that yours will meet with great success"

u CONTROL LUCKY CALUMET

That an attempt is being made
by eastern capitalists to gain
control Of the Lucky Calumet
property adjoining the Snoworm
mine at Mullan is the belief of
the management of the company.
In view Of this the following cir
cular has been sent stockholders:
1--WE desire to call the atten-
~tion Of our stockholders to the
advertisements Of a Chicago firm
Of brokers seeking to buy the
stock Of this company. We UNI
derstand that this firm has al
ready purchased some 200, 600
shares and the motive Of trying
to make further large purchases
at the prevailing low prices in
dicates an effort to secure con-
troll. It would be unwise for the
stockholders to allow control to
pass into other hands.
The plan Of this firm in buy
ing up large blocks Of Lucky
Calumet should be frustrated.
The present showing Of the
Snowstorm warrants a much
better price for our stock. =
The above circular is signed
BY Henry P.Knight, secretary of
the Lucky Calumet company.
The firm whose advertisements
are referred to is Donald A.
Campbell 4 Company of Chicago,
who offer to buy and pay cash
at the highest prices for Lucky
Calumet stock.

Of supplies have been delivered
at Kellogg and will be taken to
