several all night sessions for them.
E. d. Burlingame and Laurence
Crawford fished On Berry Creek last
Sunday. They caught lots of fish,
but Burnley thinks more of the string
of rattler buttons he got than the
fish.
Preaching every Tuesday evening
in the school house, at McGill. Dur
ing the summer weeks, the meeting
will commence at S:15 o'clock. A
cordial invitation to these services is
| extended to all.
A. L. Field of the concentrator,
left Saturday morning for Salt Lake
where he will join his wife who has
been there the last two months. Mr..
| Fields has been with us nearly two
years and expects to return in the
fall. .
Eight Austrians of McGill, chal-
lenge eight men of our nationality to
a tug of war on the Fourth of July
at McGill for a purse of $4,000 a
side. For further particulars see
Copper Ore. What ire you fellows
going to do about this?
T. Humstead while fighting fire in
his quarters in the lower townsite
last Monday night received some
serious burns and injury to his eye
but thanks to our efficient medical
fraternity we are glad to say he has
about recovered.
An open challenge is hereby given
for a walking match "any distance"
by Chas Mathews, who wishes to
meet any man in the state. His age
and physical condition assures Cop
per Ore that we are safe to put
none on Mathews. Take this tip"
Last Friday Chas. Mathews, of
NJ. & B. and Geo. w. Carr, General
time keeper walked over the mount
ain to Duck Creek to fish. They
caught all the law allows but Copper
Ore hesitates to give the time req
quired for the trip for we fear 1t
would not be taken as the truth. 1t
was a record breaker sure.
The McGill branch of the Bank of
Ely has been transferred into the Nc
Gill National Bank. The change
taking place last Monday. The new
bank starts off with a capital of
$4,000. The officers at present are
w. N. McGill, president; Eugene
Giles, vice president and P. G. Cripps
cashier.
Burglars last Saturday night broke
into the Copper club, by way OF a
zeal window and ri1ed the cash
register, securing about $4,000 In
nickels and dimes. They also en-
tered the Steptoe cafe and broke
open the cash drawer, but secured
no none there. Our police force
are busy and no doubt before many
days will exhibit another bit of per-
suasion to these easy money fellows.
Messrs. Allen. Sumner, .Macomber,
Smith and Engleman all of the
Missouri School of Mines arrived in
McGifl last week and have accepted
positions with the S. v. s. &. M. Co.
We rejoice in the fact that Engle-
man is a speedy base ball player be-
ing captain of the Missouri School
of Mines for next year.. We Nc
Gillites feel encouraged with this ad-
ditional talent.
On next Sunday July 4th for the
first time this seaso the Smelter
will have all it's regular players lined
up against the Ely team. Owing to
the fact that the players are on
different shifts, it is impossible to
get all the regular team together at
any one time to develop team work
though individually we will have the
strongest team in the field next Sun
day that has ever represented the
Shelter. We are hoping that u new
uniforms will be here in time for the
game. The line up will probably be
as follows, subject to change: a
Catcher, Curtin.
Pitchers, Fay and Thompson.
Short stop, Hogan and Ogle.
LIST base, Capt. Wilson.
End base. Engleman.
3rd base. Neal and Cameron.
Right field, Voorhees,.
Center field, Fawcett.
Left field, Higgins and Adelman.
On Friday evening, July 2 at 1900
| o'clock the Smelter team will play
a practice game with the machine
shop team at the regular base ball
grounds, north west of the Ranch
House. 1t is hoped that a large
number of fans will be present July
4th to cheer us on to victory.
