have come over about the same sur
vey that the Ely Goldfeld has made

That survey is a straight shoot al

that it will be, will be somewhere in

regret having built its line down
Robinson canyon, should it do so, or
Immediately go about building an ore

every purchaser. The company is well differed and has an ex-
cellent management. There is no doubt but what this stock
will meet with greater success than any issue that has been
foated since the panic.
BOSTON ELY-The Boston Ely shaft has now attained a
depth Of 1858 feet. Work on the same has been rather slow of
late owing to the heavy iron jasperiod rock which has been en-
countered. The company has recently purchased a compressor
and when this arrives work will progress more rapidly. In the
mean time we expect to see no great movement in this stock
until the company strikes it's ore body which it has been expect
ing to reach close to the 1200-foot level.
ELY CONSOLIDATED-Thi stock has been quite weak
during the past week, being forced down by considerable profit
taking. Three shafts are now working on the property and pro
ducing satisfactory results to the management. It is quite like
ly that this issue will again work upward if the development
work continues to open up good ore bodies as it has in the past.
FEDERAL ELY-This company is at present doing it's as
sessment work with a force of about twelve men. It is learn
ed that operations will not be continued extensively. The OPP
ton on the control Of this property is not being exercised and
it is believed that the present management will be obliged to
shape it's own destinies for the organization.
CALUMET-Word has reached here to the effect that the
machinery recently purchased by this company is now enroute
operation within the next ten days. The shaft continues to
move down rapidly and is now bottomed in ore. The develop
ment work being carried on by the management will ultimately
result In the making OF a big mine out OF this companys prop
erty and, as this end of the belt is showing more activity than
others, we anticipate a broad market movement and predict
that the issue will eventually cross the dollar mark.
HIDDEN TREASURE-The several leases on this prop
erty continues to look we'll but owing to weather conditions,
shipments for the next few months will not be so frequent as
during the past summer. Extensive development work will be
prosecuted during the winter and large tonnage of ore will be
blocked out for shipment next spring, at which time it can be
shipped to greater advantage, owing to the proposed reduction
in railroad charges.
MCDONALD ELY-Reports are that the management has
under contemplation active development work of large proper
lions. This has undoubtedly been the cause of sudden upward
movement of the stock. The local demand for this issue has
been heavier than on any other during the past week. Salt
resumed, as we feel we have been reliably Informed, the stock
will surely go to a dollar. The management OF this company
is excellent and the stock is in good shape for an upward move
as there are about 100000 shares on the market, the balance be-
ing tied up in a pool for a long period.

An East Ely railroad man in dis
cussing the several routes into the
district which might be followed by
the Ely Goldfeld to outlet in Steptoe
valley, said yesterday that the cheap
est and best in the long run would be
through the canyon north of Ely to
East Ely Hot Springs and then across
to East Ely. The cost would be less
than the costs of a line through Rob-
inson canyon. In addition to which
it is to be remembered that Robinson
canyon is narrow and hat W tracks
are going to make for considerable
c%rowding and unnecessary expense.
He continued as follows:
I'm fact there is nothing from the
railroad mans standpoint to war
rant the coming of the Ely Goldfield
through Ely except such favor as
might grow from the roads going
out of it's way, and spending consid-
cradle money in so doing, to cultir
vate the friendship of Ely. If by
building through Ely it might Sc
cure such friendship as to assure it
of the bulk. of the business of the
place for many years to come, the ad-
ditional expense might be justified.
Otherwise not, which makes it per-
fectly plain from the r~ailrQader's
standpoint why the new road should
decline to enter into any fight to OBJ
tain concessions from Ely, for if it
has to fight it will lose tie friend
ship business which can be its only
object for coming through Robinson
canyon.
