ELY,NEVADA

Invites the consideration of all who may wish
thoroughly good real estate or business invest
ments in city served with excellent water
electric light and power, telegraph, telephone
and all other modern oonveniences, including
the best hotel between Denver and San
Francisco
East Ely is SO situated that it is the pres
ent terminal of railroad lines operating in the
Ely mining district and must be the terminal
of other lines which will be built in future to
southern and western connections At the
present time above 40 trains including main
line passenger, suburban passenger ore trains
and main line freight trains arrive and de-
part daily from the East Ely yards
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-02-11

II is to be remembered that while
there has been general complaint
among mining camps this year as to
the scarcity of money for the taking
over of properties. this camp in the
last month acquired the record in
Vestment of the new year in copper
property by new interest. the deal
being represented in the transaction
whereby Giroux control was taken
over by Cole-Ryan. That transaction
involved more than s6,O00.0O0. if
reports are correct. We may there
fore be pardoned if we fail to see
here in the Ely district where the
close times in financial circles come
in. The Giroux deal, too, is proba-
bly, but the first of several which will
come about in the next few months
to add very materially to the to-
tai of new wealth put into the prom
critics of the camp, all because il has
the developed goods. And IL is the
goods that get the money at every
stage of the game.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-02-11

There is no question about in
creased interest in the real estate
values of this camp among people
who keep track of such things
throughout the country. They have
their eyes on us and their pocket
books open for investment II may
be said in passing that there are few
mining camps in the country which
are attracting as much attention of
this kind under prevailing financial
and business conditions as is this.

All the While that the Grant adher-

a member of the senate, every evening
quietly sat IN his little old fashioned
room in a hotel that was not greatly
frequented by the active politicians, To

life. snd during all of the public third

THE DRAMA WITH AN IDEA.


The stage DO longer exists solely as
a means Of entertainment for the
thoughtless. Playwughts with ideas
have reaped greater rewards In recent
years than ever before The mediocre
drama, dealing with incidents OF a
purely pictorial nature, lacks novelty.
We have seen the same scenes over
and over again, and we have grown
tired OF the types Perhaps that Is the
reason that the American public In the
last few years has given such well
come Co new plays that contain some
thing beneath the surface, plays with
ideas back OF superficial incidents.

was first produced IN New York al a

thus far was the cross-examination of

question with ayidlty and In no in
stance would he allow himself to be-
stopped until he had said just what
he wanted TO. Col Coopers attorneys
can dc nothing with him. The same
dominant spirit that has characterized
his movements throughout his life is
in evidence with hi mas a witness.
Time and again as the states attof-
ney, Captain Fltzhugh. fired some
questions at him to which his counsel
arose to object, Col. Cooper would
wave his attorneys To their seats with
gesture in the direction OF the jury
end would say:
Let il come out; | like that;

At times when counsel for the de-
Tense would object 10 the states at
torney pressing the witness, Col
Cooper would again answer, saying:
That's all right: | encourage tina.

rected to ascertain II he had taken

throat.
AZ the time of the accident a physi-
