MYERS CONFIRMS
REPORTED SALE
OF RlCKARD-ELY
STOCKHOLDERS GET $4,000
FOR THE MINE
TRANSACTION SHOWS PROFIT ON
INVESTMENT
Myers Also Gives an Option on Nine
Claims of the EIy-calumet
to New York City
Capitalists

A. D. Myers, who returned few
days ago from a prolonged absence IN
New York and Ely, New, confirms the
newspaper reports of the sale by h1ln-
self and associates of the holdings OF
the Rickard-Ely Mining company s
holdings. The purchasers were the
Cole-Ryan syndicate, which has peeh
making heavy investments in the ELY
field. The price paid was S84,OO0, ana
it was a cash transaction.
The Rickard-Ely company was or
ganized by Mr.. Myers, Tex Rickaru
and Ole Elliott of Goldfield and con-
siderable work was performed, result
ing in proving the mineral value Oh
the ground. The copper slump com
nelled the company to cease opera
tions. but the deal which has been
made will, it is understood; snow
profit on the investment.
THE money realized will be boon
TO Tex Rickard, that picturesque char-
acter who is known in every IhlhlLS
camp from Nome to South ALrlcd'
Richards latest venture was a !ease
in the pioneer Nevada country, anu IoI
a, time it seemed that Dame tortuHe'
after many frowns, was about to smile
81, him again. The ore pinched, how
ever, and Tex had another denclt TO
face. ,.4.
Rickard still has valuable interests
in Ely and is fortified by an optnnlS-
tic disposition which knows not the
meaning of discouragement, and 1t is
a safe bet that he will again acquire
his share of the worlds goods.
During his absence Mr.. Myers also
gave to New York operators an option
on the northern part of the Ely-Cal-
umet company's ground, comprising
nine of the twenty-five claims when
the company owns. The option calls
for a substantial sum in cash within
sixty days in payment or one year
hond which carries with it an obllga-
tion of the purchasers to sink a 1000
foot shaft or drive 14OO-toot tunnel
The purchasers can elect which propo-
sition they will accept.
The Ely-Calumet reserves the thlr-
teen southern claims and the develop
ment work required, should that prop
osition be accepted, will tend to prove
the value of the company's holdings
as the veining system extends from
north to south.
The Ely-Calumet company sold
some treasury stock when the company
was organized, and the outcome of the
deal will be watched with interest by
those who hold the stock.

"9he Blood is The Life'

Science has gone beyond the above simple
statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that
statement and given it a meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is " bad or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected
and many an evil deed or impure thought may be
directly traced to the mpurity of the blood.
Foul impure blood be made pure by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Successful Social Event

The supper, dance and entertainment
given in the opera house for the beneht
of the library, on Wednesday night, was
a decided success in every particular
In fact it was one OF the most enjoyable
occasions that has been participated IN
for years in this city. The supper from
five to eight and the luncheon from lo:3O
to midnight were sumptuous, and II there
was anyone who did not get all he could
eat of good things, it was either because
he had an elephants appetite or his eyes
we're larger than his stomach. 1t was
success financially, as the receipts show,
and will be the means OF adding num-
Der of new books to the shelves. 1t was
a success socially, for informality reigned
supreme and everyone went with the
idea Of having a first class time, and if
anyone was disappointed it was the
grouchy fellow who never sees any ything
good in life. The attractions we're well
selected and we'll patronized. Royal K.

merited, good patronage, Henry Nc
Clelland was awarded the silver watch
as the best shot of the men and Miss
Eleanor Hoierman, teacher of German
and music in the public schools, carried

In regard to the destructive condi-

Immediately after the discovery of the

soon found out that these wonderful
rays, though they were powerful curative
agents, still they we're not free from
harm, as many of the early experiment
ers paid heavy penalties in loss Of limb
and even Of life. OF course the inevita-

more conservative men condemned its
