The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-11-23

in Salt Lake Authentic information
from the GirouX Office in Salt Lake
is to the effect that the development
work in this property has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations of it's
owners and that during the coming
year they will have plans completed
for the building of these two plants.
This will add materially to the Ely
pay roll for both skilled and unskil-
led labor.
Senator Thomas Kearns will ar
rive in Ely Monday evening. He will
possibly be accompanied by David
keith, president of the Silver King
who is a large share holder in the
Mcdonald Ely. An inspection trip
of the property and the district will
be made after which a conference
will be held with General Manager
D.. C. Mcdonald. 1t is understood
that arrangements will be made at
this time to resume operations at
once. This will mean the employ
ment of at least one hundred men.
Mcdonald Ely is a proven mine but
the owners are wealthy mining men
who have been completing their pat
ents on the large group of claims
which they own. Within another
year, Mcdonald Ely will have suffic-
lent ore blocked out to make it a
regular producer of a commercial
grade of ore. Col. E. A. Wall, a
multi-millionaire of Utah, is also a
large owner in this property and
o%vertures that have been made for
the purchase of this property for a
big sum, have repeatedly been re-
fused. The interest of these large
mine owners in the Ely diggings will
result in attracting a great deal of
capital to this camp.
The Calumet has been received
with great favor in Salt Lake. Tex
Richard, the ,ontrn lug spirit IN this
property, is held in high regard
among prominent mining men in the
Mormon capital. 1t is understood
that he has been successful in financ-
ing this property and that during
the coming year a great deal of work
will be done. Adjoining this, the
prospects / have seen in this camp.
E. w. Griffith is one of the best
practical mining men in the west.
His report on a mining property is
held in high esteem by some of the
biggest mining operators throughout
the country. He has operated in
Utah successfully for a number of
years. The fact that he had become
personally interested in the pro-
motion and operation of this group
of claims practically insures a great
future for it. His report on the Cen
tennial has resulted in a number of
Utah and local men making applica-
tion for large blocks of the stock.
An inspection of the ground con-
vinces me that this property will
show a high grade copper-gold ore.
1t can be cheaply worked and being
within a few feet of the railway, will
be provided with very low rate
transportation cost from the outset.
That portion of the district where
groups of claims are neld by Nc
Donald Ely, Ely Centennial, and Ely
Calumet will greatly disappoint me
if development work does not show
these properties to be situated in the
richest naturalization in the camp.
i ne larger mines such as Nevada Con
Cumberland Ely and Giroux have
porphyry deposits which can be
profitably mined for possibly a hun
dred years to come, but that portion
of the district opposite the town of
Ely proper undoubtedly will produce
a higher grade ore with every indi-
cation that it will be a straight
smelling proposition. This ore will
be very much sought after by the
Steptoe plant and eventually by the
Giroux smelter. 1t is a product that
some of the larger smelling plants,
such as the Garfield and the Interna-
tional, e Salt Lake, would gladly
take without penalizing. For this
