here to learn for himself of the won
ders that have been performed in
this comparatively new realm of the
red metal, and he said last night that
he expected to remain for ten days or
two weeks and that he would try to
see 1t all.
N. A. Dunyon, a big operator of
Salt Lake, is another well-known
mining man who arrived last night.
Mr.. Dunyon is associated with the
Bambergers, and is himself an oper-
ator on no small scale. Besides be-
ing one of the high class engineers of
the country, Mr.. Dunyon owns and
operates a big zinc mine in Tintic.
Salt Lake is we'll represented just
now. Uncle Jesse Knight of Tintic,
who has been here for several days,
and has been busy since his arrival,
was among those about last night.
He was to leave on Saturday last,
but the more he say of Ely the more
he liked it, and he waS perforce COM
PEELED to stay and see still more. He
has bought the Ely Carbonate, and
has looked at other properties. And
still there are others to occupy his
attention, and instead of going
home this morning, he will put in the
day inspecting something else.
Then there is S. M. Levy of Salt
Lake, who is president of the Ely
Consolidated. He, too, has been
here for several days. Most of his
time has been spent On his property,
but some of it has been otherwise
occupied, for Mr.. Levy wants more
holdings in the Robinson district,
and has the money to pay for them.
Edward Hoffman, the well-known
engineer and general manager of the
Ely Central, was another arrival last
night and his familiar face and figure
found warm welcome. When Mr..
| Hoffman last came to Ely, the stock
of Ely Central was selling under ST..
| When he left, the stock was above
SO a share, and the people of Ely are
now wondering what is going to
happen to the stock on this visit.
During his last visit he started work
on the Monarch and Clipper claims of
the company, and a few days later
both workings were all in ore. On
Thursday of this week the initial
shipment of the mine goes forward
to the Salt Lake smelters.
Not last, MOI by any means least,
there returned to the district last
night c. b. Lakenan, general man
ager of the Nevada Consolidated,
who has been on the coast for the
past few days. 1t is merely a coin
cidence, his arrival with the
others, but he seems to have re-
turned at a most propitious moment.
During his absence, Nevada Consol-
idated has declared it's initial diyi-
dend, and yesterday, the day of the
general managers return, the stock
of the big company passed the $25
mark. Truly, the day for great
things is dawning for Ely district.
