ELY MAY GUT
NEW RAILROAD
Continued from page one.)

That there are many who wish the
road and who are anxious to do all
they can to hurry it's construction,
there is no doubt; nor is there doubt,
Judging from past history, but there
are those who will align themselves
with the obstructionists, in the be-
lief that personal profit lies that way
and that the railroad will come any,
how.
That the railroad will come to
the district there is small doubt, but
how may depend entirely upon the
council action tonight. The Ely
Goldfeld has no rail down, but it
has two surveys from the Giroux
backbone to East Ely. Both get low
grades. One is that figured in the
Clark street survey. The other is
a couple of miles north, across the
mountain range. Traffic Manager
Alberger of the Tonopah & Tide
water when here last week was ask
ed about this latter survey and his
remarks as they appear in the re-
porter's notebook were about as fol-
lows:
1.-The people we represent want
business. They accordingly desire
to make their road as convenient to
business as possible, with view to
both their own good and that of the
public. That is the reason We are
offering all faculties in Ely that. the
business public can make use OF to
advantage. We want to give every
possible aid, and in return We want
a fair deal only. We have no
''jokers," nothing under cover, and
we want to be dealt with in the same
way. Under these conditions, the
other survey is not at this time I'M
der consideration, ever though it
might possibly be better for the road
in a strictly selfish sense to use that
survey. 1t is no longer, in some re-
spects would be cheaper to build
over, and would relieve us of extra
cost of maintenance of track, and
suitable crossings in the town, as
well as relieve us of considerable
portion of risk because of injury to
individuals and expense of purchase
of city rights of way. The business
would come to us just the anne
but We prefer the other way" :
From all of which it would seem
as if there were yet hope that Ely
will not be bothered by new railroad
construction within it's limits.

E. w. HULsE & co. LETTER.

Prices on the share market yes
terday continued to make slight de-
clines not of an alarming nature,
however. Just what is responsible
for the downward trend, coming as it
does, in spite of the healthy con-
dition of most of the issues con-
cerned, remains unexplained. By
many, however, it is believed that
the prices of Ely coppers as a whole,
are being %purposely sent downward
in the interests of the proposed cop
per merger. Giroux continues to
withstand the downward pressure
with more firmness than any of the
other higher priced stocks although
it closed the day at the rather low
figure of $10.25. With the lone ex-
ception of Federal and Mason Val
ley, every one of the Elys registered
closing marks that were slightly less
than on the day previous.

MARKET KEEPS
SLIPPING DOWN

Nevada Con. and Cumberland Ely
made still lower yesterday. Giroux
held fairly steady. The smaller
stocks showed little change, The cop
per combination is admittedly hav-
ing to do with the price changes OF
the issues on the eastern curbs. Not
until the lineup of the combination
is definitely determined is there con-
sidered to- be likelihood of material
advance. This decision may be
reached any day now, or it may be
some weeks distant. The fact that
J. P. Morgan & Co., however, are
nov openly identifying themselves
with the new deal augurs well for its
being completed within short time.
The Morgan association also looks
good for the entire copper list and
should bring stronger conditions
with small delay. Meantime the cop
pers look cheap.

MARKETS, MINING AND METALS

LOOK FOR HUB

e. l.. Fletcher, manager of the
Tungsten properties at Hub, nea
Osceola, is preparing for greater de-
of the mine in the spring.
Yesterday he started a pig shipment
of freight to the mine, including a
saw mill, two boilers, rails and ore
cars. With the sawmill, enough tim
Der will be cut this winter for the
construction of the mill which is to
be put up by the company for the
concentration of the tungsten.
The development of tungsten
promises t be one of the most i'm
portant industries in White Pine
county, and just now it is an indus
try worth while. so per cent concen-
trates are worth 1899 a ton, or $6.65
a unit; and anything owe so per cent
So a unit. Mr.. Fletcher said
yesterday that it was expected to
turn out IS per cent concentrates
with their w mill. He said also
that the mineral is in great demand,
more than 100 uses having been de-
veloped for the product.

GREAT TRACKAGE AT PIT.
.,teady Extension Finally Cut Off the
Old Wagon Road From
RonrYIar JIcaDa


A b%ewildering array of tracks sur
round, intersect, bisect and cross
cut the steam shovel pit of the Ne
vada Consolidated, SO intricate are
becoming the working of the Gug-
genheim mine. Another railroad is
being constructed on the east side to
meet the topmost terrace which is
being stripped for the ore. The grad
ing is also being done for the ad-
verse which is to enter the pit from
the east side and approach it in a
diaponal shape for the purpose of
lowering the grade into the pit,
which is now four per cent.
This will mean the cutting off en-
tirely of the wagon road between the
railroad depot and the pit entrance,
and the only way left from east to
west, or west to east, will be to make
a detour of the big excavation. There
is a probability, however, of a tres
tie being thrown across the railroad
cut to the east to connect the Star
Pointer and the pit workings. Yes
terday they were using sleds for the
transportation of freight around the
grounds.
