Base Ball League Dates
From Thursday Evening
NAME TO Be SELECTED LATER
TODAY'S GAME AT THE EAST
ELY PARK Is BETWEEN COP
PER FLAT AND THE NEVADA
NORTHERN TEAMS.

Permanent organization of the dis
trict baseball league was effected on
last Thursday night at a meeting
held in the real estate Office of Full
mer & Ives in East Ely. The officers
elected were the following:
President, James d Watson OF
MeGill association; vice president,
W. w. Lockhart of Ruth. and sec
retary and treasurer, A. j. Carpenter
of Ely.
Various suggestions were received
as to a name for the league. but none
were adopted at the meeting. Sc
much trouble was experienced last
year over the name of the Nevada
State League, that it was decided to
forego that cognomen. Next meet
ing will see this matter disposed of.
The schedule for the games of the
season was discussed but no con-
clusion arrived at. This will be a
matter for future disposition. The
bylaws were read in part, but will
not be adopted until they are fully in
shape The matter of the selection
of the umpire was not settled. al
though il is a foregone conclusion
that there will be not less than two.
Ii was decided that the first league
game of the season would be played
on Sunday, May IA.
Today's game will be played in
the East Ely park, and will be be-
tween the East Ely and Copper Flat
teams.
On next Sunday the new Ely
grounds will be dedicated by an ex-
hibition game between Ely and Nc

CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK.
over ELY-G0LOF|ELD ROAD.

The Ely-Goldfield railroad has
again come to the fore as a most ur-
gent possibility, not in wild or speeu-
lative fancy, but in cold facts as a
business proposition. The matter
has been the subject of recent con-
ference among the powers that be in
New York, at the head of which was
f. NJ. (Borax) Smith, and the result
of the conference has been renewed
activity in the project which has for
one of its purposes the putting of this
district on the transeontinental map.
w r. Alberger. one of the direc-
tors of the United Properties COM
pany. the $200,000,00O corporation
of California, has returned to San
Francisco from the conference men
toned, and the Call of that city
quotes him as follows
IL was in conference with men,
bers of the company and others, and
while no definite plans have been
decided upon it is probable that we
will start work upon our Nevada rail-
IOdu property III a ohpii anu w
velop it along lines we are not yet
ready to make public. Mr.. Smith
values this property very highly and
has certain ideas which he intends
to try out"
Mr.. Alberger is the representative
of the Ely-Goldfield road who was in
Ely at the time the survey of the
road had been completed up to and
through Robinson canyon. and the
company was endeavoring to get a
right of way down Clark street
through Ely. The present city coun-
ell of Ely refused the company a
franchise, while the county commits
sioners stood ready to grant the new
corners all they wanted. Mr.. Alber-
ger stated at the time that Clark
street was the only feasable route for
the road, and that they could not ac-
eept a franchise over any other
street. There were those who were
unfriendly to the Clark street pro-
ject who asserted that the road
would take any franchise that were
given to 1t, but subsequent events
proved them hopelessly wrong.

All sorts of charges are lowering

Centennial Development Com
pany to Take Over Holdings
of Old Concern
WILL RESUME IN THIRTY DAYS
REORGANIZATION WILL BE PER-
FECTED TOMORROW If PRES
ENT PLANS OF STOCKHOLDERS
GO THROUGH.

For the purpose of taking over the
holdings of the Ely Centennial Cop
per company, articles of incorpora-
tion were filed by the Centennial De-
yelopment company with the county
clerk on last Wednesday. The in
corporators of the new company are
+. +. Vanderhoef, superintendent of
the steam shovel pit at Copper Flat.
Mayor ID. C. Mcdonald and L. NJ.
Hulse. The capitalization is for l :
100000 shares of stock, the par
value of which Is 81 share, and the
stock is assessable.
This was the preliminary step to
the reorganization of the Ely Gen.
tennial Copper company. and means
that there is soon TO be another
working property in the district. The
stockholders of Ely Centennial will
meet in the company's Office on Muir
ry street tomorrow to sell the proper
ty of the company to the new COM
pany. As all interests have been
working toward this end for some
time past there Is no doubt that the
deal will go through and new direc-
tors elected.
An assessment of two cents a share
will be levied with month given

Before this is due, or Immediately
after its payment, work will be res
umed on the company's property on
the hill just above the city of Ely
More work has been already done
on the property than Is generally
known throughout the district, there
being nearly 5000 feet of develop
ment underground. The workings
are equipped with the best machinery
and everything is in shape to con-
tinue the development with splen-
did chance of soon finding the ore.

ENLARGING BUSINESS.
j. c. Wheeler Engages in Wholesale
Fruit and Vegetables.

County Commissioner J. c. Wheel
er, the well known hay and grain
dealer is going to branch out in his
business. and his new move means
that there will be an abundance of
fresh frits and vegetables for the
table every day. Mr.. Wheeler has
made arrangements for SPECIAL trans
portation facilities, and has already
started his shipments which are to
come in in carload lots. The first
carload arrived last Monday night,
the fruits and vegetables coming
from California.
In Mr.. Wheeler's new enterprise,
the district will receive the benefit of
the eastern car service in the hand
ling of perishable goods, with the
additional advantage of being three
days ahead of eastern points in the
receipt of their goods. 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the Cali
fornia products are the favorites OF
the east as well as of the west.

Construction and Surface Work
Gives Way to Actual De-
veIopment
THREE IDlER TOWERS GO|NG UP
DISTANCE FROM THE ALPHA
ORE BODY BECOMES LESS
EACH DAY ON THE 1000 AND
1,4OO-FOOT LEVELS.

Between seventy and eighty men
were laid off this week at the Gil
roux mine, the development of that
property having reached the stage
where construction work gives way
to actual development, and the need
for the big force of surfacemen no
longer exists. Heads were Topped
off in higher circles than those of
the roustabouts. for with the de-
crease of the force employment was
lacking in the engineering and cleri-
cal departments of the mine.
General Manager Mills estimates
that the entire force above and be-
low ground has been cut down one
third. In the cutting down the only
underground working affected was
drift at the 1,000-foot level, which
is being driven to get around the
dangerous ground of the Alpha shaft.
Six men in all were working In this
drift.
The bridgeman for whom they
have been waiting to finish the work
on the permanent hoist, arrived on
Thursday night, and went to work
on the following morning. He has to
put up three idler towers before the
cable can be strung from the hoist to
the headframe and down to the low
er levels of the big five compart-
ment shaft. When this work is COM
leted the shaft will have been en-
tirely finished from a physical stand
point.
In the 1,200-foot crosscut which
is not more than 140 feet from the
Alpha ore body, it is a little slower
going than the work heretofore.
The ground is soft. and instead of
drills being used. the work is being
pushed by the method of spiling.
Timbers are sharpened at one end
and then driven into the face of the
crosscut by battering rams. and the
new ground mucked out. 1t is
necessary to timber as progress is
made. both the roof and the sides, in
addition to bulking. If the progress
is slow 1t Is absolutely sure, and at
that they are making five feet a day
in the working. At the 1 1,400-foot
level, while the ground is harder the
going is much easier, and progress Is
much more marked than in the cross
cut above. The pumps at both
stations are handling the water with
ease, and are capable of taking care
of many more times the volume now
being encountered Work is still be-
ing continued in the drift at the 770-
foot level.

plan of reorganization. United

solutely prohibited the promulgation
of any plan for reorganization with

Goldfield road were as good as their
word When the city council turned
down the franchise. the request for
the franchise from the county was
withdrawn, and the representatives
of the Ely-Goldfield road folded their
tents and silently faded away. leav-
ing the district to mourn the loss of
a transcontinental line.
For awhile much speculation was
INDUCED in as to what other route
might be taken, which would cut
rings around Ely. leaving it off the
new transcontinental map. But no
other route was mentioned at all by
the railroad officials. They simply
dropped the matter, forgot ii in fact,
and until the present time no word
has come from them. The line from
coast to coast embraced the Tonopah
& Tidewater tBorax Smiths road }
Ely-Goldfield, Nevada Northern,
Western Pacific. connecting at Shaft
er, and the eastern connections of the
Gould line to New York.
At one end of this combination the
Tonopah & Tidewater has been long
seeking an extension for its line and
at present is not paying. AT the
other end is the Western Pacific,
branching out for business. fighting
the Hartman interests, step by step.
The Southern Pacific is jealous of it's
territory and it is possible that the
reawakening of interest in the Ely
Goldfield road means that there is a
possibility of the Southern Pacific
coming into the field. With power
full rivals tugging at both ends of the
line, Ely may yet have not one but
two transcontinental roads.

SELFR|DCE ON
ELY CENTRAL
PLAIN ANSWERS TO PLAIN CUES
TIONS FROM LOCAL STOCK
HOLDERS REGARDING PLAN
OF REORGANIZATION.

A. j. Selfridge, attorney for the
reorganization committee of the Ely
Central Copper company, has issued
and TO the stockholders of the COM
pany particularly. 1t is a very long
statement, going very minutely into
the details of the plan of reorganiza-
ton and answering questions which
have been asked ever since he come
into the district a week ago last
night. He tells over again what every
stakeholder of record has had the
opportunity of reading, and what a
good many have read and still fail
to understand. To be explicit in a
matter of this kind is extremely diff
ficult to a man who is trying not
only TO leave no question unanswer-
ed, but to give the reasons for his
answers. We give here in succinct
form what the local stockholders
want to know. and the answers. as
concisely as possible, of Mr.. Selfridge.
The stockholders want to know:
Why Mr. Selfridge came to Ely?
What he hopes to accomplish? Is
he going to call a public meeting? :?
The object of the plan of reorganiza-
ton? How long has the Federal
Trust company been in business and
is ii worthy institution? Has
Seheftels & Co., anything to do with
the reorganization of the company?
Is the committee composed of res
ponsible men? Is the assessment
of 15 cents a share really an assess
ment, and is it voluntary or CON-
pulsory? How Is it proposed to
work the property after 1t passes
into the hands of the new company?
Mr.. Selfridge came to Ely at the
request of Attorney J. NJ. Lockhart
to the committee for the purpose of
ascertaining the amount of work on
the property, and its present con-
dition. 90 To determine the best
manner in which to obtain possession
of the property for the purpose of
the organization of a new company,
and the prosecution of development
work. (3) To learn from the
stockholders and leading business
men of Ely what man could be Sc
cured by the committee as a resident
director of the new company, who
could be depended upon to see that
the affairs of the new corporation
were managed for the best interests
of the stockholders.
No public meeting will be called.
Any stockholder who desires to COM
municate with Mr.. Selfridge can do
so at the Northern hotel, or through
Messrs. Lockhart, Belford or Clock
ner.
The sole purpose of the reorgan-
ization committee is the protection
of the bona fide stakeholder: to en-
able that stockholder, who paid
value for his stock. to be placed in
a position to receive, not only the
amount he has already invested. but
a profit thereon.
The Federal Trust company was
organized in 1899 with a capitaliza-
tion of $1.0OO.O00. Any of the local
banks can ascertain the high stand
ing of the institution IL they do not
already know 1t.
