am not as optimistic about as are
some. l would like to feel that the
metal will make early advance of i'm
to see it that way. However, that is
a matter that need not worry the big
low grade, cheap cost producers, anti
particularly those of the Ely district,
in view of the splendid record they
have been making in holding down
the costs"
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson and Miss
Thompson, on conclusion of their
visit in the district, will go direct
east. They visited Bingham on the
way here and were much impressed
with the worth of that camp and par
ticularly with the property and equip
ment of Utah Copper. The present
is their first visit to the Ely district,
which they said last evening they had
been desirous of seeing Tor long
time. They have been familiar with
it through reports had upon it's vari-
Gus enterprises, in most of which
they have been directly interested as
invetors since the beginning of the
copper movement here.
Mr.. Strecker was here a year ago,
at which time he said he woJ;1 be
back in another year and bring Mrs.
Strecker with him. He likes the
camp and its people and said last
night that it made him feel exceed
ingly good to get in once more, eli
matte conditions, people and grea+
mines combining to make Ely dis
trict ideal from his standpoint.
At the East Ely school house to-
night dance will be given in honor
of the visitors at which the ladies of
the party, who are enjoying the trip
much and taking keen interest in the
mining enterprises they are visiting,
will be in attendance.

FIND IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITIONS IS GREAT
i. E. Thompson and Charles B.
Jtrecker Bring Good Report From
the Edst-=-Notdble Party ArriOe in
East Ely to Look Ouer the District

Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Thompson, of
New York, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles B.
Strecker, of Boston, George E. Gum
and A. w. Mccormick, of Salt Lake,
eomprised a notable party who ar
rived in East Ely last evening and
will probably remain in the district
until Tuesday. They are at the Step
toe, where Miss Mabel Thompson, sis
ter of Mr.. Thompson, who arrived
Thursday evening from San Francis
co en- route east, is with them.
This morning the party will go to
the mines and tomorrow they will
visit the reduction works at McGill.
They expect to give the camp thor
ough inspection and are anticipating
that there will be much of pleasure
and interest in connection. Until
after they have looked around, they
said last night that they could say
little, as they bring no news bearing
directly upon immediate affairs of the
district
Mr.. Thompson, who is of the New
York brokerage house of Trippe,
Thompson C Co., when asked con-
corning market and general condi-
tions, said last night that he was
highly optimistic. On the trip west
he found excellent conditions, with
steady improvement noted in trade
and industry along the line. He feels
that the situation in this respect and
the activities that are underway with
regard to new enterprises, particular
ly of character calling for large use of
copper, justifies the expectation of
very high prosperity and attendant
larger market activities at no distant
date. He is particularly optimistic
as to mining stocks of the big, legiti-
mate kind, which his firm is among
the foremost in handling.
Mr.. Strecker, who is publisher of
the Boston Financial News, said .hat
he had been greatly impressed with
the improvement in general condi-
tions which he found in crossing the
continent, as compared with condi-
tions obtaining year ago, when he
came to Ely district on trip similar
to that which he is now making
through tue copper mining camps of
the country, having come here from
visits to the Lake country, Montana
and Utah. He will continue to Globe,
the Ray properties at Kelvin and
other Arizona camps, Mrs. Strecker
accompanying.

ed that the battle would be fought

first word OF the controversy came
from Promoter Coffroth, who an

that the fight would take place. He
hastened to the negro's training
quarters on the ocean beach in an
automobile Immediately afterward
The forfeit money was posted several
months ago one man placing his SIS,
900 in the hands of an eastern stake,
holder and the other entrusting his
money to William Naughton the local
sporting writer. 1t was understood
that this money was to be placed ir
one mans hands. Britt and Ketch-
ell demurred to this, as the odds are
three to one against them today, and
they disliked to place their money al
even odds. Johnson insisted, and
Coffroth dashed to the front to
patch up an understanding.
1t is said that Naughton has trans
ferred the money in his hands. but il
is not possible to learn who the new
stakeholder is. In view of Bri.
declaration. there is room to believe
that Ketchel has acceded to Johnson's
demands, but there is still feeling
of uncertainty in sporting circles.
