would the interest of the company be
centered in the upbuilding of the towns
but it would be a guarantee that no
other town of Importance would be
built by the Giroux company at or near
their mines. And with a smelling and
concentrating plant located 50 near
town, it is not likely that the com
pany would permit the building of resi-
1t has been previously announced by
the management of the Giroux com
pany that its plant, when erected,
would be constructed with the ultimate
design of treating 10000 IONS of ore
daily, which means the erection of an
other plant equal to that of the Nevada
Consolidated company, from which Ely
and East Ely would receive the entire
benefit.
1t is perhaps not wise to build too
largely upon prospects, but the Giroux
company is strongly intrenched IL the
district. 1t is backed by unlimited
capital. 1t has the largest and high
est grade body of direct smelling ore
in the United States, and also the
largest and best equipped plant. In ad-
dition to this 1t has vast territory OF
surface sulphide deposits, which can be
worked by steam shovels, and 1t IS
therefore in a position to produce prac-
tically an unlimited tonnage of both d.
rect smelling and concentrating ores,
and will require a plant second to none
in the country.
With the building OF this plant must
come direct connection with the West
ern Pacific railroad by the Giroux
company, or a satisfactory freight rate
over the Nevada Northern, for the Gil
roux company will not undertake the
erection of an extensive plant under
the present tariff schedule of that road,
and this would indirectly benefit every
other mining company and business en-
terprise in the district.
With the building of its own plant
here, the Giroux company would un-
doubtedly engage in the general smelt-
ing business, which would soon make
this one of the smelling centers of the
entire west, for the Nevada Consolidat-
ed would also engage in the same line
of business, which would offer a rivalry
in the buying of ores.
The erection of a large smelling
plant in this district, nc matter where
located, by the Amalgamated interests,
means that the pay rolls o T the DIS
trict will be doubled within eighteen
months or two years, and that 5,ooo
men will find steady employment In
the mines and plants, making Ely DIS
trict second in Importance to Butte IN
the employment of labor, n hrst IN
the production of copper in the entire
! WORLDLY Record.

merly so cents it is now 20 cents, or a
cut of 12h per cent.
A day message from Carson City or
Reno to Tonopah or Goldfeld, where
the charge was formerly 20 cents, it is
now only 55 cents, or a cut of 1914 per
cent.
Further, the night service is to be
maintained under the new rates, which
offers TO business men and others a
very economical letter service.
Also the commission found in its in
vestigation that the rates between
Carson City and Reno and other Neva-
da points and Ely were exorbitant and
unreasonable by reason of the fact that
the Western Union Telegraph company
did not operate beyond Cobre, while
from Cobre to Ely the business was
transmitted over an independent line
owned and operated by the Nevada
Northern Railway, thus resulting in a
combination of local or double charges
at Cobre. This matter was taken up
with the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Nevada Northern
Railway, and by negotiation the com
mission has succeeded in having the
Western Union take over, on N ope-
rating basis, the said Nevada Northern
telegraph line from Cobre to Ely, which
in the future will insure to the pubic
a through rate as prescribed by the
| commission between Ely and all out
side points in Nevada and eastern and
western commercial points.
On future business to and from Ely
and other Nevada points the readjust-
ments, by reason of the said consolida-
ton and reductions made by the COM
mission, will insure an average saving
of from 40 to so per cent.
For example, on a day message of
twenty words between Carson City or
Reno and Ely, where heretofore the
charge was $1.60, it is, under the new
regulations, only 70 cents.
The aforesaid readjustments OF tele-
graph rates will result in a saving of
MANY thousand dollars annually to tho
people Of Nevada.

actual time made by the southern route
(Tonopah & Tidewater) was, in reali-
ty, a couple of hours ahead of The north
ern routing; the Tonopah &Tidcwater
car having arrived at Goldield at 10
0 clock a. M, while the ear from the
north came about, or near noon Of the
same day.
The Tonopah & Tidewater represen-
~tatives claim that this should bring out
most clearly 10 the general shipping
public that in spite of constant claims
to the contrary by their competitors
the fact remains that in the service of
the Tonopah & Tidewater freight is
brought through, particularly to Gold
field, as in the case of this carload of
beer, ahead of its competitors.
They further state that, had they
their own rails into Tonopah, which
was in this instance the destination of
the particular car load of beer in
question, it might have been possible
for them to have completed delivery
of the shipment into even Tonopah, at
practically the SAINT time as was taken
by the carload which was routed via
the northern connections to it's destina-
ton at Goldfeld.

On December Is, 1909, the railroad
commission of Nevada cited the West
ern Union Telegraph company to ap-
pear and show cause why its rates
charged for the interstate telegraph
service in Nevada should not be re-
duced. The company appeared before
the commission u April i, 1910, being
represented by A. H. May, superintend-
ent of the Pacific division of the com
pany. After the hearing the ease
was submitted to the commission for
final consideration.
After an exhaustive investigation
the commission entered an order on
Aug. Is, 1910, reducing the Western
Union Telegraph company's rates on Ill
messages heretofore charged at q rate,
on day messages of 40 cents for the
first ten words and 3 cents for each ad-
d~itional word, to 35 cents for the first
ten words and 2 cents for each addi-
tional word, and on night messages a
reduction from 3 and 2 cents to 20 and
2 cents.
Further, where the rate was hereto
fore so and 3 cents on a day message,
the same has been reduced to 40 and 3
cents, and on night messages a educ
ton from 40 and 3 cents to 30 and 2
cents.
Further, on all messages transmitted
within a radius OF 200 miles a maximum
rate of 25 cents and 2 cents for day
service and 25 and i for night service
has been prescribed, and all of the
above rates became effective Sept. 20,
1910.

rage, the following comparative exam

auctions between points in Nevada;

BIG DEAL IN CAMP OF
ELY HAS BEEN REPORTED

During the past week she camp has
h.eu full of rumors to the effect that
the Glroux company has purchased the
holdings of the Ely Townsite company
and the properties of the Copper Mines
company, including it's ranches and
water rights in Steptoe valley. These
rumors have not been confirmed, but
many circumstances with direct bear
ing thereon have led to their accept
ance by the public.
1t is known that the directors of the
Giroux company recently published a
circular letter to stockholders in which
the statement was made that the COM
pany would erect its own plant in the
district. 1t was also announced at this
time by Thomas f. Cole that the COM
pany would soon the erection
Of it's own plant in the district, which
was confirmed by John ID. Ryan in an
interview in Salt Lake papers last
week. It is further known that the
company is about TO complete it's equip
ment of the new Giroux shaft, and that
the mines will o be ready for pro-
duction. It is also known that the
company has measured the water sup
plies on the western side of the range,
at Barnes, White River and Illipah, and
is in fact familiar with the entire wa
ter supply of the district. The Giroux
company owns two-ninths of the waters
of Steptoe creek, and as it is in the
market for water, it is only reasonable
to suppose that it has at last closed
a deal with the Copper Mines company
for the other seven-ninths of the wa
ter of that creek, which would afford
the company an ample supply for mill
ing and smelling purposes.
AS to where the plant will be erected
is mere conjecture at the present slime,
but the consensus of opinion is that
it weuld be along the foothills of the
eastern side of the valley, at a distance
of probably three or four miles from
East Ely. If this is correct then 1t
naturally follows that the company
would connect the plant and mines with
a railroad.
1t is probable that in order to Sc
cure the water rights of the Copper
Mines company, the Giroux manage
mens was compelled to take over the
interests of the Ely Townsite company,
which owns large property interests in
both Ely and East Ely. Heretofore the
Cole Ryan interests have not been par
tial to town buildings, but it may be
that this property was forced upon
them by the Gunn-T Thompson interests,
which practically controlled both prop
critics. If this is correct it will have
a wonderfully stimulating effect upon
the future of the two towns, which Will
soon grow into one city. Not only

Telegraphic advices from Wabuska
are to the effect that Governor Dicker-
son, Key Pittman, Charles s. Sprague
and other candidates on the Democratic
state ticket, lin a trip made yesterday
through the upper Carson Valley, met
with great enthusiasm. Meetings at
Genoa, Sheridan and Gardnerville, tns
principal towns in Douglas county, were
addressed by these candidates, and the
party was accorded an ovation in each
place.
The county Of Douglas is normally
Republican, but Judging by the enthusi-
astic greetings received by the Demo
cratic candidates, it promises in this
year of insurgency" to switch to the
Democratic column.
Tonight in Reno a monster Demo
cratic rally will be held to be presided
over by United States Senator New
lands. Addresses will be made by
Messrs. Pittman, Dickerson, Sprague,
Baker, Ryan and others who are max
ing the state campaign. 1t will be in
the nature of a ratification meeting
and the many shortcomings of the Re
publican platform, especially as to its
failure "to stand up" in the matter
of railroad domination in the state Of
Nevada, and that of the Payne Aldrich
tariff act, will be fully shown.
At least one party of the Democratic
candidates will leave Reno for Gold
field shortly after the rally, stopping a.
various points on and off the railroad
en- route. Other parties will lake dif'
ferent routes, but before the campaign
is concluded all win have made the diff
ferent towns of the state.

L would be a Vcrv easy matter for the Re
j. pubcans who held Office before the last
city election to make trouble for the present
administration should they so desire. But when
the contest was first brought i'm the courts the
former Office holders were canvassed. and 1T
was learned that none of them expected to
profit in the slightest manner by the decision of
the court should such decision prove favorable
The attitude of the Republicans was not made
known at the time for fear that il the decision
went to the Democrats the Republicans would
be criticised for protesting virtue when it would
be impossible for them to be put TO the test
When the time came the Republicans made
good ON their previous agreement. Their con-
duct is in marked contrast with the methods
practiced bv the Democrats under similar con-
ditons few years ago when the Democrats
were resisting by an the means I'm their power
the will of the people expressed the ballot box.
The Republican former place holders may be
pardoned for rubbing ii in ON the Democrats
in their statement when they say that they have
always deprecated i'm the past the efforts of the
Democrats to overthrow and cast aside the will
OF the people as expressed at the polls, bv fraud,
forgery. violence and intimidation at the can
vass of the votes and on other occasions. This,
OF course. is a bitter pill for the Democrats who
remember the violent scenes that used to occur
In this CITY and the outbreak i'm Kent county

The Republicans signing the card declare
that they stand ready at any time TO do and per
form any and all acts which may be considered

That was the manly course to take and the
course that rejects credit upon the men signing
