One of the best evidences that this

The Salt Lake Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say:
Herman Wise, who until recently
was the auditor for the allied inter-
ests in the Ely district, is in the city
on business connected with his per-
sonal interests. The allied interests
at Ely comprise the Nevada CONSOLE
dated, Cumberland Ely, Stepoe Smelt-
ing and Nevada Northern mining
railroad and smelling organizations.
and the time spent in Ely by Mr.
Wise has given him ample OPP
portunity 10 sturdy the camp and pre-
diet with certainty its future. He be-
lieyes in Ely and its mines. and says
that there never was a time in the
history of the camp when everything
looked so bright and prosperous as
at present.
When asked yesterday what the
camp thought of the entrance of the
Cole-Ryan syndicate into Ely. or the
International Smelling and Refining
company, he stated that the purchase
of the Giroux and the certainty of
another great copper proposition be-
ing brought out of 1t. to say nothing
about additional smelling facilities.

The International company is COM
posed of men who do things in the
right way and they are looked TO with
confidence in Ely.

Prices ranged about the same as
on Wednesday Country orders were
scarce. At times the demand was
good for stocks. Later In the day
the market became very dull. The
copper metal outlook is not very
bright. there being no demand from
the consumers for refined copper. Ely
coppers held about the same. Gil
roux was somewhat weaker. Cum
berland Ely from day to day has been
holding we'll. there being no change
in the price for some time. This
stock has had good support of late
and looks due for higher level.
