BULLS FIGHT
ON THE TRACK
BELLS AND WHISTLES DID NOT
BUDGE THEM, But THE MIGHTY
VOICE OF CHIPPY WILSON
DID THE WORK.

A Spanish bull fight has become
somewhat a chestnut, for the reason
that bets are twenty to one against
the bovine, but when you come down
to a real bull fight without torea-
dors, matadors or cuspidors-that is
something worth while. And that
Is what happened out on the desert
on Wednesday afternoon and brought
the cannonball express to full stop
with Chippy Wilson at the throttle.
AS the train returning from Cobre
approached Green's the engineer saw
two bulls ahead. one on each side of
the track. They were lowing and
their heads were lowered, ready for
a rush Chippy slowed down, and
gave a shrill blast, but the approach
of the train seemed to be all that the
animals were waiting for, 1t mad
dened them and with loud bellows
they rushed at each other and lock-
ed horns right in the middle of the
track. They paved up the track
bed, twisted horns, rubbed noses,
bumped each other and hollered like
rooters at a ball game. For a
moment. Engineer Wilson stood
rooted to the throttle, then realizing
that the destination of the train was
Ely, blew the whistle.
The whistle was a joke. They
rang the bell, but 1t was maddening
music to their reused spirits. The
toreador on phonograph could not
have been more inspiring. The
animals went at 1t more fiercely than
ever, and the blasts of the whistle
and the ding-dong of the bell had no
more effect on them than water on
the back of a duck. Finally. En-
gineeer Wilson, loosing patience
erawled through the cab window and
yelled:
Get off that track, don't you
know that this is the Nevada North
ern!"
The effect was electrical. In
stinctiyely the bulls unlocked horns,
and with one accord turned to the
engineer. Then they flashed a know
ing look at each other and the next
moment were beating 1t over the
desert in opposite directions with
heads to the ground and tails high
in the air. And the main line came
right on and reached Ely on time.

Ely and Copper Flat will play ball
at Copper Flat this afternoon, and
there will probably be a big crowd
go from Ely and East Ely to attend

made to hold the noon train one
hour, so that IL will leave at 1880
from East Ely and 12:40 from Ely.
The train will be run into Star Point
er and returning. leave as usual from
Copper Flat at night. The Copper
Flat team will see to 1t that no one
is left, as happened when McGill and
Copper Flat played at the Flat.
The lineup of Copper Flat will be
the same as when they played Ely
on last Sunday, and for Ely, either
Waits or Nelson will be in the box
This should make a good game.
The game at Ely on last Sunday
was between Copper Flat and the
home team. and was all that could
be desired up to the end of the sixth
inning. Ely had a new pitcher in
the box named Gabbert. and he stood
lup like a church for the six innings
after which the men from the hill be-
gan finding him. After that 1t was
case of slugging on the part of the
steam shovel men and the score
wound up at 13 to g Following is
the score:

RIDING
ON THE WAVES
BEAUTY OF THE COURT HOUSE
GROUNDS ENHAs.--1 BY AID
DITION Or TWO HANDSOME
IMPORTED BIRDS.
Have you seen our swans?

Two, beautiful, white graceful
creatures basking in the sunshine on
the pond of the court house grounds,
the shores of which are fringed
with grass, and overshadowed
by tiny poplars just beginning
to sprout and cast a shade.
Back of these the green lawns bisect-
ed with paths, roll toward the court
house, and then away to the other
side of the structure. To the rear
of the court house the lawns bank up
on little hillocks. with rustic bridges
here and there, and across Murry
creek which comes purling down the
hillside into the town. A thing of
beauty, a dream of joy.
Where's this-in California? Nay,
nay, this in Ely the beautiful. min
ature Venice in the sagebrush state,
the garden spot of Nevada. Where
a few vars ago the county court
house stood at the top of a pile of
rocks, rough stones and dirt, flank
ed by elevations of struggling trees
and vines of widest and most care
less vegetation, there Is today this
same court house shading smiling
nature earned in grasses well kept
and trees bordering broad walks in
the best of order
The work was started by the for
mer county commissioners and is be-
ing continued by the present board
comprising Joseph f. Stevens. J. c.
Wheeler and c. C. Caperton, the
only change in the board being Mr..
Caperton who is as Jealous in the
work as his colleagues. 1t is a work
of which to be proud; it is a credit
to the county and an honor to the
men responsible for it. Ask the
men on the trains coming down the
high line what their sentiments are
as Ely's public park bursts upon their
view; ask the people coming in on
the trains from McGill and East Ely
what they think of the beautiful
garden, the transformation of a few
years.
Not a visitor who comes here who
does not stop to gaze upon that
beautiful outlook. Women go into
rapture over it and the men express
themselves more strongly, and they
go away to talk of it in the neighbor-
ing towns, in the coast towns, in the
cities of the east 1t is the greatest
compliment which could be paid to
the county; 1t is the greatest adver-
tisement which could be given il.
Soon the old court house will be
transformed into the county hospital,
and the old building adjoining re-
moved. Then the picture of beauty
will be complete. the dream of the
early day residents of the county
realized.

MINING ACTIVITY GREATER
THAN EVER IN DISTRICT.
Production Has Increased, More Ore is in Sight in
Several Properties, and Work Has Been Resumed
Upon Ground Which Is Most Promising

content of copper ore. The prospects
for a steam shovel proposition are
most excellent from present indica-
tions.
The Centennial Development COM
pany Is now doing its own develop
ment, the contract for sinking the
100-foot shaft in the tunnel having
been completed. Conditions are
most encouraging for the connecting
up with large ore bodies whose pre-
sence at depth Is shown by the vast
amount of leached area passed
through in the tunnel. The discoy-
cry of ore at this point would be one
of the biggest boons which could be
bestowed upon the district.
Good news comes from the Ely
Illipah mine. Gus Munter, one of
the big stockholders. and manager of
the property was in Ely during the
week and said that everything was
progressing most satisfactory. The
main shaft. is down 1875 feet on the
incline, the last twenty feet being in
black sand, which 1t is expected will
run well in gold values. Mr.. Munter
is very enthusiastic over the show
ings of the Ely-Illipah, and predicts
that 1t will eventually make into one
of the big producers of the state.

TO EXHIBIT OUR RESOURCES.
Nevada Will BE Represented at Land
and Irrigation Exposition
In Chicago.

According to a circlur issued by c.
A Noreross, commissioner of indus
try, agriculture and irrigation, the
Nevada bureau of industry, agricul-
ture and irrigation. on June 10. de-
cided to have an exhibition of the
agricultural resources of the state, at
the United States land and irriga-
tion exposition to be held from No.
vember Is to December 3, inclusive,
in the Coliseum, at Chicago.
Nevada has never before been rep
resented at land show and this ac-
tion on the part of the bureau was to
see how advantageous these land
shows are towards the directing of
homesteaders to this state.
Owing to Chicago being centrally
located and the fact that many other
features will be in evidence to attract
the people from all over the country
to this land exposition, the Nevada
bureau decided upon this exhibit and
have contracted for a fine location
about the center of the coliseum.
All counties of the state, having
suitable lands for colonization, are re-
quested to select with care all fruits
and staples which the land is capable
of producing and ship them to Reno
where the selection and classifica-
tion for the exhibit will be made
under the direction of Professor Cor
don II. True, of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station. Inc exhibit will
be shipped from Reno to Chicago at
the expense of the state and the state
commissioner will have charge of the
exhibit.

1t has recently been found that the
shaft of the Ely Bonanza company, To-
Gated about a half mile southeast of
the Giroux, is now dry and it is
thought that it has been drained by
the Giroux shaft. 1t will be recalled
that when the shaft was being sunk
few years ago flow of water was
struck which forced the men to leave
the shaft and work was abandoned
because of inability to handle the
water.
