noon. The special was composed of
three private ears, one of which. The
Cyprus, belonging 10 Mr.. Jaekling,
is said TO be one of the handsomest
Pullmans that ever drew into a sta

rooms.
The party spent last evening at
East Ely and viii go to the mines this
morning for few hours inspection,
after which Mr. Jaekling Will leave
for Cobre to catch the westbound
train and viii 60 direct 10 Arizona
TO look over bis holdings In that
state. Through his connection with
the Utah Copper. he has become one
of the big holders in the Nevada Con.
and this is his first visit here since
becoming identified with the district.
Mr.. Iackling Is now one of the
powers TO be reekoned with in the
copper world. He has had meteorie
career, a Monte Cristo like rise in the
last six years A college man, he
went into the mining game to learn
IL from the ground up. and he has
been most successful in his chosen
profession. Six years ago he was in
charge of a zinc smelter at Canyon
City, having gone to Colorado from
Salt Lake. Mnile in this position he
was making the plans for the big mill
OF the Utah Copper; and with the
plans finished he returned to Utah TO
take charge of the plant and mine
From that time dates his accession OF
wealth and his rise to power He
is said To be one of the biggest
owners in Utah Copper. one of the
greatest of the low cost producing
copper mines: and was quite a factor
in the merger of that property with
Nevada Consolidated as far as the
merger went
Mr.. Eccles will remain several days
longer and during that time will
make thorough inspection of the
properties with which he Is promi-
nently identified
wnIe at MeGill, Mr.. Eecles in
formed News representative that
the proposed road To Ward would In
ali probability be built by the Ne
vada United Mining company, as the
officers of that company had con-
cluded TO finance the building of the
road themselves instead of calling
upon the Nevada Northern to do II,
as was originally intended From
reports | have had concerning the Ne
vada United. said Mr.. Eccles. that
company has a wonderful property
and we will arrange a freight sched-
ale, when the new road Is completed,
whereby the company can ship its
different grades or ore to market and
realize a good profit. According to
Mr.. Eccles, the schedule will be a
graduated one and this will enable
the company to market its entire pro-
duction. II Is our intention, said the
president of the Nevada Northern, to
make our ore shipping rates as low
as possible, as we wish to encourage
mining an this district and at the
same time give us chance to send
our cars out loaded instead of empty,
as We are now doing.
! When. asked concerning the report
that the Amalgamated had taken over
Utah Copper. Mr.. Fccles stated that
neither Mr.. Jaokling nor himself had
received any word confirming the
newspaper reports and gave themsno
credence.
We haye no intention to enlarge
the Steptoe plant at the present time,
said Mr.. Eccles, as we are now able
to handle from $1,000 to IL, 900 tons
of ore each day and as the plant at
its present stage was intended to
treat but one-half this tonnage. you
can see there Is no reason why we
should increase its capacity at this
time. According to Mr.. Eeeles. the
difference between what was origin
ally expected of the mill and what
Is now being handled, is due to
number of improvements made since
Its construction.
II present plans do not miscarry,
the new pit should be ready for pro-
duction by the first of the year, said
Mr.. Eccles, and this is considerably
later than we figured on, the delay
being due to the non-arrival of steam
shovels. which should have been here
before now but which in all probable
ity will not arrive before October l..
When asked as to the probability
OF tse Nevada Consolidated curtail-
Ing Its output. Mr. Eccles said there
was no intention on the part of the
company to make any such move, as
IL was in position to continue Its
