of ore, or as much as Nevada Consolidated has
demonstrated in its Copper Flat group.
Besides this, ELY CENTRAL. is now mining
in its Monarch and Clipper shafts, and will begin
shipping in ten days some OF the richest ore ever
opened in the Ely district. These n1ine-nalinz
potentialities explain the advance Of ELY CEN
TRIAL to s., and warrant its further movement
to 81 and higher. Shrewd investors have studied
and measured them, and their conclusion IS that
ELY CENTRAL will be found TO be intrinsically
as valuable and must ultimately become as great
a producer as is Nevada Consolidated, and that
as development progresses ELY CENTRAL
stock must advance to the price level of Nevada
Consolidated
They are. therefore, buying ELY CENTRAL
for enormous stock market profits, for absolutely
safe investment and for heavy dividend returns.
The ELY CENTRAL buyers of to-day are those
who, by reason OF long experience, make no mis-
takes in their copper commitments. You can
make no mistake in following them. You can
do no better for your own pOeket-book than by
emulating them, and getting your orders 70 buy
ELY CENTRAL into our hands or those OF your
own broker without moments delay.

IMPORTANCE OF THE DRAW
BACK FEATURE TO NORTH
WEST EMPHASIZED - NO Al
LoWANcG MADE UNLESS THE
MATERIAL WAS IMPORTED.

Washington. April 9.-Flax seed and
live animals were added to the Payne
drawback provision bill. It was made
a part of the new tariff bill today.
There was considerable debate on the
provision and some objection from
New England and because the pay
ment would be placed on foreign raw
material but the vote disclosed this
element to be in a helpless minority
owing to the Importance of the draw
back to the farmers of the northwest.
1t is herewith given in full:
The Drawback Provisions.
mo drawback shall be allowed upon
expectation OF any article manufac-
tured or produced in whole or in part
of grain, fax seed and live animals
raised in the United States unless
such articles have been manufactured
or produced from imported grain and
only upon such articles as are manu-
featured or produced from grain thai
has been received prior to such I'M,
portation and provided at that ex.
portation shall be made with within
twelve months of Importation of grair
used or checked against. Provided
further that no drawback shall be al
lowed under this section upon domes-
tic material except upon due proof
that imported material upon which
the drawback has been allowed, has
actually entered into manufacture.
