IN ORE ZONE
OF THE G|ROUX
uNCONERING A MINE At THE
TWELVE HUNDRED FOOT LEV
I'll. OF THE KIMBERLY UNDER
GROUND WORKINGS.

But 100 feet more To go TO the
Alpha orebody in the Giroux is the
situation at the 1200-foot level of the
big mine at Kimberly. They are al
ready in the contact, and they have
been Obliged To go slowly for the rea-
son that the ground is soft, and while
IL makes the best kind of going, care
must be exercised in the work. The
formation is broken In character, pos
sibly the result of the fault move
ment and shows the proximity of the
ore body.
At the 1400-foot level the erosscut
is in 100 feet. and today will mark
the beginning of the installation of
the pump. Underneath this pumping
station is sump which has
been carried in for distance of 80
feet. They are preparing at this
level for an increase of water, and Ii
Is the hope of the management that
they will get II for the supply for the
concentrator which 1t is expected to
build on the ground of the company.
The work of drifting on the 700
and 1,000-foot levels Is still going
ahead. and at the latter they are re-
timbering the old workings and get
ting into condition for mining. In both
drifts the idea is to get around the
Alpha shaft. fearing the dangerous
ground which once before occasioned
the cave in the shaft and this is
what is now being done
The permanent hosting plant has
not yet been put into use, but will
be as soon as the pulley stands, or
idler towers, are put In between the
engine house and the headframe.
For this purpose a man Is now on his
way from the east and will reach
here this week.

Initial Ball of the Conductors
and Brakemen Proves a
Grand Success
EAST ELY AUDITORIUM FILLED
ATTENDANCE FROM DISTRICT
WAS TRIBUTE TO THE MEN
WHILE TRAVELLING.

The initial ball of the conductors
and brakemen held in the East Ely
auditorium on last Monday night was
one of the most enjoyable and sue
cessful functions which has been
celebrated in the district in a long
time. The attendance attested TO the
popularity of the trainmen; the dec
orations were work of art, and the
music. under the direction of Mrs.
c. W. Woods, was all that could be
desired
A more representative attendance
could not be imagined, for there
were people from all parts of the
district. from McGill. from the mines,
from Ely and East Ely. Society
turned out for the function and en-
joyed itself in the most approved
fashion; and everybody had a real
good time. Enjoyment meant en-
joyment, for each guest entered In
the spirit of the occasion with right
good will. aud there was not dance
which did not have It's fun represen-
tation.
The tag waltz was lots of fun, for
here was chance to get partner
whether one had come late or not.
Of course this was diseouraging 10
some. but in the wind UP honors were
easy, so everybody was well satisfied.
A prize waltz for a prize of $40 was
won By Mrs Winn Fulmer of East
Ely and Mr. MeArdle of McGill. This
created a great deal OF enthusiasm.
Six couple started In the dance. and
the number was reduced 10 three. and
each couple had its full quote of ad-
mirers. The committee of award com
prised a gentleman from each end of
the district, so there was no doubt of
the fairness of the award.
The moonlight waltz was another
feature of the evening, and one of the
most enjoyable. The lights in the
hall were dimmed fer this occasion,
the illumination coming from
crescent shaped moon lighted by ell
ectricity. and from the lanterns
which were suspended from hoops
hanging from the ceiling. This made
a very pretty effect and was as much
enjoyed by the onlookers as by the
participants In the dance. In fact
there was no feature of the ball
which was not enjoyed. and the time
was extended half an hour for the
benefit of the pleasure seekers.
The committee in charge of the
successful event were: George Mar
shall. chairman: G. l.. Code. +. +.
O'Hara and A. H. Bonham.

THOMAS ROCKH|LL
VISITS SALT LAKE

Thomas Roekhill of Ely, New, is a
guest at the Wilson. says the Salt
Lake Tribune. Mr.. Rockhill now
about sc years of age. is a man with
a history. and one of the best known
men in the mining regions of the
west. When young man, Mr.. Rock
hill, in 1S47, joined the Sixteenth
United States infantry in Indiana and
went to Mexico. where his regiment
was assigned to General Zacariah
Taylor's command. He was present
at the battle and surrender of Buena
Vista. After peace was declared and
the treaty between the United States
and Mexico was signed. February 2,
1S4S, he returned east. where he
was mustered out.
In 1849 Mr.. Rockhili went to Cali
fornia and engaged in gold mining
with considerable success. Since
then, or rather up to 1872, he pros
pected in almost every mining dis
trict in the west In the latter year
he finally located in Ely New.
when | went there" said Mr.
Rockhill, there was no Ely. 1t was
then known as Robinson. and a
mighty small camp 1t was. But | had
faith in the outcome of Ely, and stay
ed with 1t. and kept myself pretty
we'll down by acquiring claims. as
could get them, and do the necessary
assessment work to hold them. How
ever. | do not regret the many Ion,

GRADE
IN THE zACk
THIRTY TWO FEET OF RICH ORE
UNCOVERED AT THE FIVE
HUNDRED FOOT LEVEL OF
ELY CONSOLIDATED

Superintendent James Quinn, of
the Ely Consolidated is certainly a
mine maker. He is demonstrating
this more and more in his develop
ments of the Zack workings of the
mine, and now has 30 feet of high
grade ore in the No. west drift at
the 500-foot level. Much of this runs
as high as 3 per cent and the aver
age for 20 feet was 6.75 copper and
so cents ton in silver.
When Mr.. Quinn assumed charge
of the Ely Consolidated he declared
that the best working on the property
was the Zack, and advised sinking to
the 500 foot level, where he was con-
fident that he would get the continu-
alton of the ore body on the 400-foot
level The rich ore is found in the
limestone, which makes the hanging
wall of the contact vein, the opposite
wall being in the porphyry. 1t is the
intention of the management to con-
tinue the shaft to the 500 foot level,
and sinking will be resumed on the
first of the month.
The assessment of five cents on the
stock Is being paid in. and il Is from
the proceeds of this that the devel-
opment work is being kept up, going
to prove that an assessable stock is a
superior proposition to a nonassess-
able company. 1t is quite possible
that the present assessment will be
the last, for with the luck of the COM
pany keeping up in the Zack work
ings. II will be but short time when
the Ely Consolidated will be a pro-
ducer. 1t is already a mine.

General Counsel s. ridge of
Reorganization e..
Arrives In the District
WILL LOOK OVER
WANTS TO MEET LOCAL
HOLDERS AND SAYS IT,
NO DOUBT OF PuiliNu COM
PANY ON ITS FEET.

Arthur c. Selfridge, general coun-
sci for the reorganization committee
of the Ely Central Copper CO
arrived in the district last nignt
is quartered at the Northern hotel in
Ely. The object of Mr.. Selfridge's
visit here is to look over the pron
erty of the company which he rep
resents, and to talk with the local
stockholders of the Ely Central.
When seen last night he was not in
frame of mind to discuss his i'm
mediate plans for the reason that he
had not had time to go over the local
situation with Attorney James M.
Lockhart, Ely Centrars local ad-
wiser, or Lee Glockner general man
ager of the company.
THAT the reorganization will be
effected said Mr.. Selfridge, there
IS not the slightest doubt. When |
left Boston OH last Monday they we're
so busy in the Federal Trust COM
pany with the affairs of Ely Central
that they did not have time to talk
to me. On Saturday they had receiv-
ed 660, 900 shares of the stock, and
| imagine that they got all and more
than were needed on Monday to car
ry through the plan of reorganiza-
tion.
THE committee Of reorganization
is composed of representative men,
and they have the backing of the
United States authorities who were
responsible for the raid on Scheftels
They have also the aid OF the Sehef-
tells and Rice who have promised to
throw their strength to them for the
purposes of securing a majority of
the stock. Not less than 1000 let.
ters have been received from stock
holders of Ely Central, all fayoring
the plan of reorganization, and ap-
proving of all their acts up to date.
The committee has now been before
the public for several months, and
there has yet to be said the first
word of disparagement against any
member of it.
my purpose in coming to Ely is to
talk with the local shareholders and
to find out If possible, what they
wish to do and also to go over the
property of the company and to sat
isfy myself of conditions there. The
reason for seeing the people here is
to get better idea of their estima-
tion of the property, end | would
like very much 10 meet as many as
possible of them in a general assem-
bly,, If this is possible. The people in
the east who have come in on the
plan of reorganization have the
greatest faith in the property and |
do not anticipate returning to them
with any disappointing reports.
Mr.. Selfridge was met at the Ely
station by Attorney James NJ. Lock-
hart and Lee Glockner. who csc 1rt-
ed him to the Northern hotel, ard
who were subsequently his hosts at
dinner. Several hours were spent
by the trio in going over the situa-
tion, but as for the immediate plans
of the eastern attorney nothing was
given out last evening.

BASE BALL ON EAST
ELY DIAMOND TODAY

Ely and East Ely again cross
bats this afternoon on the East Ely
baseball grounds, when the latter
club will attempt to regain its lost
laurels of last Sunday when they
were defeated by score of four to
one This was good game and a
repetition of the sport is looked for.
The game was fast and marked by
very few errors, Dillon-s pitching for
Ely being almost faultless, his curves
battling the railroad men at every
turn. The twirling of Fay and Winn
Fulmer for the home team was also
very good. but the visitors were able
to find them more frequently than
were the railroaders able to land on
Dillon. Today's return game will be
battle for blood, for the home team
have fire in their eyes.
