At Vicksburg two boats were sunk

In the harbors of Pascagoula and

Bath houses, pavilions, yacht slips

While many houses have been I'M

SEND THE BAND.

The McGill band should by all
means be sent to the American Min
ing Congress at Goldfeld next week.
1t will give to the attendants at this
convention from outside the state as
we'll as to the people of Nevada a
light on the enterprise, get up and
hustle of the Ely camp that will be
very valuable. In Nevada, more or
less prejudice has existed against Ely
because of the fact that it is a cop
per camp. By this we NEAR that the
Nevadan has been unable to look
upon anything other than gold or
silver as having value in the list of
mineral resources of the state. In
the last year the pay roll of the Ely
district has had effect of removing
some of this prejudice. The last re-
port of the bullion tax collector,
showing the value of the copper out
put of the Ely district to exceed that
of the output of all other mining
camps in the state with the exception
of Goldfield, to which we are now
playing a close second and which we
will in a little time outstrip, put a
great many more to thinking. The
evident prosperity of the camp as
made plain through newspaper pub
locations has also had a large influ-
ence and has brought a great many
people here from different parts Of
the state who. have sent away rosy
reports. But there is still a great
deal of lingering skepticism in the
Nevada mind as to the possibility of
a Nevada copper community amount
ing to very much. Time will wear
this out and the gold and silver
camp people will come flocking here,
with their money and enterprise, but
meanwhile it should be a matter of
local pride as well as of business to
overcome the Nevada prejudice as
rapidly as possible. Sending the Nc
Gill band to Goldfield would be a
long step in this direction. In con-
nection with the big edition of the
News which will circulate among all
at the Congress, the presence of the
band and the Ely district delegation
would unquestionably give us a
larger prominence in Goldfield than
any other outside town in the state
is likely to have. At any rate it
would be big enough to firmly
establish in the minds of those at
the Congress that the Ely district is
something of a whale in doing things
up to the handle. Send the band.
