PARISH MUCH
INTERESTED
TAKING IN ELY CENTRAL VERY
DOES NOT BOTHER HIM-GOOD
WORK ON NEW SHAFT.

William A. Parish and Manager
Hoffman of Ely Central with Fred
S. Pheby have been giving the prop
critics of the Ely Central a thorough
going over this week. Monday and
yesterday were spent on the ground
and today and tomorrow there will
be further examination.
Mr.. Parish has moi spared himself
in the examination and has. SO far
covered. a good many miles in get
ting over the property on foot. his
energy and vigor in this line of work
are non abated from years ago and
his younger companions find that the
veteran engineer is very far from an
easy one to keep up with on a days
march.
Mr.. Parish has. been through the
Copper Flat pit Of Nevada Con. and
doubtless has drawn deductions from
what he has seer there and much of
which has bearing on adjoining Ely
Central ground. He has expressed
enthusiasm regarding Copper Flat
and has shown in a variety of ways
that he is very much interested in
Ely Central conditions. What his de-
auctions may be of curse probably
remains to be learned in the report
which he will file with the under
writers of the bonds of Ely Central
who have sent him on the present
visit.
On the Ely Central there were
sixteen men at work yesterday about
the new shaft. In breaking for the
collar a considerable hole has been
made in the ground and sinking is
under way vigorously. Before the
end of the week there will be room
for the employment of 20 or more
men, and they will be on. The shaft
is to be put down just as rapidly
as possible. Speed will be enabled
materially. too, by the fact that all
necessary materials are on the
ground, including lumber, hoist and
other accessories to the deep work
that has been started.

WAND STREE.
The work Of paving Wand street

from til to 18th street has been
completed and accepted by the eoun-
ell. This is now one of the prettiest
streets in the state, and reflects great
credit on the contractor, Mr.. William
Tulley, and proves that our city faith

intersections are paved with Middle

Blocks, with cement curb and gut
ter. The people along the line are

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY

Yesterday morning, Tuesday, Nov.
es, 1909, about halt-past $ o'clock,
Mrs. Mollie Kenny, whom all our
citizens know keeps grocery store
on Ohio street, was awakened by the
breaking of glass somewhere, but
where she did not at first know.
Listening for a while, she became
convinced that it was in the grocery
room, and, remembering that the cat
was in the store, she thought posi-
bly, it might be the feline causing
the trouble, She silently arose and
went into the grocery room. She
soon discovered, from behind a big
pile of sacked -four, that if it was a
cat, it was ike the old cOlored mans
ghost, it was the biggest cat shehad
ever seen, and was working from the
outside at one of the large front win
dows, previously slightly broken, re-
moving glass piece by piece. Mrs.
Kenny said something and Mr..
would-be-burglar took an airship or
an underground route, and the popu-
lar grocery continues to do business
at the old stand.
