Meeting Called on Nov. 2
3 Ia Shares Cumber-
land for | Nevada Con.

A telegram received in East Ely
Sunday morning announced call of a
meeting of stockholders of the Ne
ada Con. for the purpose of making
consolidation with Cumberland Ely.
The proposed terms of exchange are
three and o~ne-quarter shares of Cum
berland Ely for one share of Nevada
Consolidated.
The plan involves ISSUANCE OF 400, 900
shares of additional stock of Nevaua
Consolidated.
The meeting at which the PROPOSE
sition will be voted upon will be held
on November 2.
The rate of exchange which is pro-
posed means market value fixed for
Cumberland Ely of $3.50 per share of
it's stock.
That the consolidation will be made
according to the plans outlined, there
is considered to be no doubt. The
Guggenheim interests hold the control
in both companies.
The Nevada Consolidated board
Saturday endorsed the proposition by
unanimous vote, a fact which can be
taken as practically conclusive as to
final outcome.
The telegram of yesterday definitely
disposes of rumors of consolidation
which have had currency and which
now appear to have grown from pro-
tests from minority stockholders who
learned of the plan and tried to get
the higher valuation for Cumberland,
which they maintained it worth.
To Ely district directly, the news is
considered of as large Importance as
any lat has ever come here. Con-
s%olidation of the properties will bring
new economies in operation and much
simplify the work of accounting. OF
very great Importance also is the fact
that under consolidation Cumberland
Ely will doubtless come into the
benefit of a vigorous development cam
paign, after the manner of that which
during the last year and a half has
developed many million tons of new
ore for Nevada Con. Cumberland Ely
has a large and splendid acreage of
highly promising ground yet unpros-
pected. 1t also has the Puritan group,
on which the show was excellent for
a steam shovel ore body when pros
pecting was stopped. The benefits to
the camp at large from an energetic
earnest, development campaign on
Cumberland will unqestionabiy be
very great.

saws. The market during the week
has been absorbed in the gossip rela-
tive to the metal situation and threads
a general feeling of confidence, based
on the actual information to the effect
that something particularly good is
coming out soon with regard to the
sale of large quantities of metal.
There was one story to effect that the
Guggenheim interests and the Amalga-
mated interests had come to a COM
promise with regard to the sale of the
metal nv reason of which the entire
surplus carried by these people, would
he cleaned off the market. That was
ollowed nv another story that these
dealings were all off. The truth of the
matter is that no such dealings have
been under consideration at any stage
of the game for the simple reason that
neither interest is CARRYING any copper
to mention. The surplus copper is not
in the hands of the producers.

HULSE LETTER.

The market was very bullish with
fair trading in all stocks, but the
lower priced stocks were mostly in
demand, and they advanced rapidly all
along the line. 1t seems that Ely
stocks are r%egaining their former
activity.
When one stops to consider,
other fields represents the wonderful
possibilities of profitable Investments
that the copper share market does? AS
dividend payers, the returns are al
ways high, This coupled with the fact
that the copper industry is merely in
it's infancy, and the copper demand is
becoming greater every year, makes
it indeed a good field for investment.
From top TO bottom Elys offer first
class purchases and we recommend
that traders confine their operations
to Ely stocks, as they certainly know
the conditions at the mines and are
better able to judge whether they are

HAML|N THINKS
INSPIRATION It

Mr.. Hamlin, of Colorado Springs,
prominent in politics and mine invest
.ment circles of Colorado, left for home
yesterday morning, following several
days spent in the district looking over
its properties and sizing up the situa-
tion.g
Mr.. Hamlin came here from a visit
to the Globe and Kelvin districts. He
is understood to be out in the interest
of investors associated with him who
desire to acquire copper property. He
was much pleased with what he saw
mere and expects to return later in the
year.
:. Regarding his southern trip, Mr..
Hamlin said that he believed Globe
the making of the greatest camp in
the country and that he considered In
spiration the biggest property there,
~outranking Miami and all the rest, this
opinion being entirely unprecedented as
he did not own a share of Inspiration
when he saw the property, and had
no personal interest in it whatever.

A SENSATIONAL
DAY LOCALLY
Heaviest Trading in Two
Years---Cheap Stocks
Sought; East Stronger

The Improvement in tone and prices
which was in evidence on Saturday
continued yesterday, with ino.cations
favorable for further revival and prob
able shaking off of the pear hold dur
ing the present week. h showing of
increase in the copper surplus appears
to have affected the stocks in n
opposite to that which might have been
expected, unless the unfavorable re-
port was discounted, which it probably
was. evada Con. was up yesterday,
on the strength of the merger report
Belief is that it will mount still high
er today. Giroux and Inspiration were
also higher. Ely Central held well,
with considerable trading. Boston Ely
looks like a great buy at present price.
Local trading was heavy yesterday,
being said by brokers to have been the
largest in two years. The cheap stocks
We're at the bottom of it and represent
ed nearly all the buying. The action of
some of these stocks was in the sensa-
tional class. Ely Witch sold ar q, an
advance from - last week. Ely Con
sold at 81, an advance from Z cents in
the last ten days. Federal Ely was in
much demand at II, from q cents last
week. What is behind the sudden ac-
tivity is not known. The action APP
pears spontaneous and as far as the
surface shows is based simply on the
belief that there is to be further ac-
quirement of properties by big inter-
ests in the district and an influx of
| new capital to take orcr and develop
gl ound.

NAY REVIVE cAMp.

Considerable reviving of spirits and
hum of the old time enthusiasm has
been aroused in Pioneer during the
week by the reports of two strikes of
shipping ore having been made in the
workings of the old Pioneer lease.
The management admits having
made a strike, but claims that its ex-
tent and value cannot be known for a
week or go days.
According to other information the
first strike was made on the 1nterme-
date or 256 level. The writer was
shown a piece of ore brought from
there, and it seems identical with
much of the high grade ore previously
encountered in the workings. The
extent or average value of the find
has not been determined, but it is

ATTRACTION

From the resident standpoint are
many. East Ely combines all that is
best in this respect in the district, and
is particularly to be sought as a home
place during the winter months, for
health, comfort, convenience, as a
central point to all work in the dis
trict, and for educational facilities.

AN EQUITABLE DECISION.

A decision recently rendered by the
Illinois supreme court is of special
interest to the twice-disgraced city of
Springfield. That city is doubly dis
graced by the occurrence of a carnival
of arson, pillage and murder which
occurred there and by the utter fail
ure to adequately punish a single one
of the offenders. Now the court de-
cides, in Chicago case, that cities
which allow mobs to plumber and de-
stroy property must foot the bill. The
Chicago case was as follows:
Sturges' plate glass window was
broken by a mob on July Is, 1903. In
the case, which was appealed from
the criminal court, an attack was
made on the onstitutionality of the
legislative act which "indemnifies the
owners of property for damages occa-
stoned by mobs and riots
AS damage suits against the city of
Springfield for approximately 100000

THE SOUTH AND THE RAIL
ROADS.

Prominent among the idiotic pecu-
liarities of the average Southern legis.
1ators is the prejudice he entertains,
not against railroads, but against the
men who construct and own them.
Whenever Southern legislature
meets there are among the members
one or two cliques which pool their
issues in order to do" the railroads.
One party gets up lot of unfriendly
bills and the other proposes to in
duce, or compel, the railroads to buy
their services in fighting those bills.
This scheme is worked every time
a Southern legislature meets; and
generally the grand jury is furnished

grafters to last until the next legis.

repeated, and the old indictments

spoke thus concerning railroads:

the men average higher as a class
than the men of any either line OF
