READY FOR OPERATION
IN ABOUT THIRTY DAYS
EXPERT Is HERE FOR PURPOSE
OF INSTALLING MACHINERY IN
ONE OF THE FINEST PACKING
PLANTS IN THE WEST.

From all accounts ii will be
about month before the packing
plant of Adams and McGill in East
Ely will be ready for operation. The
interior of the structure is practical
ly completed and all that is lacking
is the installation of the machinery.
For this work A. ]. Hartshorn of
Denver, representing the Brecht
Cold Storage and Supply company,
is now here having arrived from
Omaha Friday night.
Plans and specifications for the
Adams and McGill plant were pre-
pared by the company represented
by Mr.. Hartshorn. The structure.
when completed, will have cost $685.
900, and will be the largest plant
of the kind in the state, performing
all the functions of the big plants in
the east. Mr.. Hartshorn is the out
side man for the Brecht company
and has been all over the country
putting up the plants and particu-
larly installing the machinery.
The East Ely plant is complete in
every department. and when COM
pleted will compare favorably with
anything of the kind in the west.
Machinery of the very latest design
is being utilized, and all modern
methods in use in the larger institu-
tions of the same nature will be en-
ployed. 1t is claimed for the plant
that the meats turned out from it
will be better in grade than any
meats treated by any other process
or handled in any other way. In
terested with Messrs Adams and
McGill are Frank Nevin and l.. M.
Jackson. For the keeping of live
stock large yards are to be enclosed
adjoining the packing plant. and
Avenue F is designated as the regu-
lar station for the big establishment

HAS APPEARANCES OF BUSINESS
Advance Money to Keep Water Out
Eureka Shaft.

Evidently those behind the reor-
ganization of the Ely Central Copper
company are in earnest in their eff
forts. for they have gone down into
their pockets and advanced the
money TO pay off the indebtedness in
keeping unwatered the Eureka shaft.
II. E. Lodge. who is foremost in the
plan of reorganization, has sent ST.
$50 to pay off everything up to date
since the closing down of the mine.
and the men at present employed
have all been paid.
An attempt was made to have the
court declare the loans made by
Lodge paramount to all others in the
event of the failure of reorganiza-
tion: but Receiver Millard objected
to putting the claims before his own
and so Judge Coleman declared both
claims on equal footing. the keeping
clear of the Eureka shaft being
deemed as important as the services
of Mr. Millard.

Cured in the Utah state insane as
ylum at Provo, to which place the
unfortunate man had been commit

HIGH GRADE IN ZACk SHAFT.
Ely Consolidated Meets With
Further Encouragement at Depth.

Good luck sticks to the Ely Con-
solidated, for in the Zack shaft this
week they encountered high grade
ore in the west crosscut at the 500
foot level, and there is every indica-
ton that 1t is a continuation of the
rich ledge which was exploited at
the 400.
At the latter level they encounter
ed a ledge on the contact of the
porphyry and limestone, from which
ore was taken which averaged 10
per cent in copper. Drifts were run
to the north and south with good re-
turns and 1t was decided to sink
another 100 feet and crosscut out to
the ledge. The latter has been found
at 110 feet out from the shaft.
Meanwhile in sinking they encounter
ed some very good porphyry ore, and
in addition ran through a streak of
high grade. Neither of these finds
have been exploited on account of
the desire of the management to
reach the main ore body.

M'G|LL FANS PREPARE
FOR BASEBALL SEASON
ORGANIZATION Is FORMED. OF
FICERS ARE ELECTED AND
PLANS ARE UNDERWAY FOR
ACTIVE WORK.

The baseball fans of McGill are
out for the national game this year.
and they are going to play ball. They
are going to have a league all by
themselves, and let .eayone beware
lest they challenge them. They are
going to have in the ranks the fore
most of the ball-tossers in the dis
triet, for they have any number of
them in the eoncentrator, in the of
fees. in the work shops and in the
smelter.
On last Wednesday night the Nc
Gill Baseball associa ion was formed
when a number of tie enthusiasts of
the sport gathered in Stones hall.
Enthusiasm marked every stage of
the proceedings. and James Watson
was elected president with a whoop
and a yell which bodies good for the
coming games. J. E. Edell was
named. secretary with the same de-
gree of enthusiasm, and the league
was under way. Both men are of
high standing in MeGill, and the fact
of their taking hold argues most
strongly for the success of the move
ment.
The intention of the association Is
to have a city league composed of
three or four teams, and there will
be three or four games week in Nc
Gill in the twilight after the work of
the day is over. They are going to
lay out baseball grounds close in,
have a grand stand and all the ac-
cessories which go TO make up the
baseball park. From the teams will
be picked one to enter into the coun-
ty league games.
The next meeting of the association
will be held on Thursday, March 3
at the McGill depot at 1880 o'clock
in the evening, and everybody who
plays ball. who thinks he plays ball.
or whoever did play ball. is invited
to attend. There will be no fayorites.
for they want the best men to be
had as members of the league. The
boys of MeGill are going out TO win
this year and they want the cracker
jacks. Play ball.

he expected important developments
on the property before the summer.
The ore is a silver lead product and
carries high values. The main de-
yelopment has been done by tunnel
which is into the hill for a distance
of $50 feet, connecting with shaft
at a depth of so feet. Near the in

MAKE "sIDELINE" AGREEMENT
big Companies DO Away With
Possibility of Litigation.

The Giroux Consolidated Mines
company and the Boston Ely Mining
company have entered into a side
line" agreement, whereby the rights
of mining at depth are preserved by
both companies. The agreement will
shut off all possibility of future liti-
cation in regard TO their ores In
mining 1t Is the law of the apex
which rules, and by this is meant that
the company having the apex or
highest point of the vein upon its
property can follow that vein wher-
ever IL may lead at depth outside of
its boundary sidelines. By the side
line agreement is meant that each
company must confine its mining or
erations within the boundaries of its
sidelines.
The apex law has been the source
of more trouble in mining than per-
haps any other cause, and has been
the source of greatest profit TO the
mining lawyer. Many states have
endeavored to have 1t abolished, but
up to date the attempt has been COM
batted by those versed in legal min
ing lore. rhe Nevada Consolidated
has sideline agreements with all its
neighbors.

foot level. and expect to encounter
the ore at any time on one of the
contacts of which the report speaks.
Very rich ore has been found at the
770-foot level, mention of which has
been made in previous reports. This
was mostly carbonate ore, and the
present report says that 'the ore
shown on the sill floor of the 900
foot level is mostly rich black sui
phides, but there are also carbona-
tes cuprite and metallic copper, and
from a number of places on this level
mining could be started as soon as
the permanent machinery and eqip-
ment are in operation.
That time is almost at hand for 1t
will be but the work of a few days
now, as stated above, to get the hoist
in operation and thoroughly equip
the big mine. With regard to val
ues at this level the present report
states:
Below this 1,000-foot level the
record of an old diamond drill hole
bored at a fiat angle showed at $50
feet north of the shaft, ore up to
14.S per cent copper. while verti-
cal drill hole down from the 1000
foot level at point eighty feet
north of the shaft, showed sixty feet
of ore averaging 1T per cent cop
per. An old winze put down at
ninety feet northwest of the shaft
averaged 12.6 per cent copper for a
distance of 10 feet"

MEMBERS OF POPULAR RAIL
ROAD ORGANIZATION PRE-
PAIRING FOR MOST SUCCESS
FUL SOCIAL EVENT OF SEASON.

The first annual ball of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, Copper Queen Lodge
No. 799, will be given at the East
Ely Auditorium on a week from
Thursday evening, March 8. The
affair promises to be one of the most
enjoyable as we'll as one of the best
attended functions the district has
witnessed for a long time. Special
trains have been arranged for from
both the mines and McGill, and the
time schedule has been SO arranged
as to best conduce to the con-
venienee of both the people at each
end of the district
The special from McGill will leave
there at 1920 O'Clock in the evening;
and returning, leave here at 1880
next morning. The mines special
will leave Veteran at o'clock, and
returning, leave here at 1:30 next
morning. This will give everybody
an opportunity to be in readiness
after the labors of the day, and will
allow plenty of time to make the
trip in comfort without hurry, leav-
ing ample time for dancing; and
making the return trip home in good
season.
Copper Queen Lodge was organ
lied in the district last August and
already numbers 45 members. The
advertising committe, which is do
ing the advance work for the ball is
composed of Messrs. o. ]. Rushton,

those who are in position to know
the plans and the expectations of the
Giroux management say that Giroux

ore, gross value. proved up in its
porphyry area alone, figuring on the
present price of copper. And this
without any consideration of the big
gard the report says:
THE company still has very
large territory unexplored on which
the prospects for showing up ad
ditional ore tonnages are favorable,
and there are possibilities of dis
closing large tonnages of contact ore
bodies along a mile or more of our
land, and which should be of the
same character as those of the Alpha
shaft territory"
If ore between the contact of the
porphyry and the limestone is found
which is anything like that of the
Alpha. and with the chance for its
extent for anywhere near a mile.
Giroux will not only be the greatest
of all the copper mines; ii will be
the marvel of the copper mining
world.

for its purpose the exploration and

all the water which may come from
the Alpha shaft when the ore body
is encountered. Meanwhile they are
lowering the water in the Alpha
shaft which is close to the 1000
foot mark where the ore was first
encountered.
Only 210 tons of this ore were
shipped in 1907 TO Denver and the
returns were 1867 per cent copper.
The report says in regard to these
workings. THE ore disclosed in re-
timbering these drifts shows larger
on the floor than at the top of the
ore bodies, and it would appear that
this level was at the top of the ore
bodies: at the same time chances are
favorable for an upward extension
of some of this ore to at least the

That Sufficient Votes
Are Pledged.

Baltimore will entertain the next
Democratic national convention, accord.
Ing to reliable information here today,
1t seems that enough votes already
have been pledged to the Maryland city
in the Democratic national committee.
and as a result one or two of the

The canvass of the national commit
tee, 1t Is said, was made by a member
OF that body whose State was interest
ed in getting the convention. This can
vass demonstrated the fact that EIe
hight begun by Baltimore six months
ago had proved successful, and that II
was useless for any other city to
longer compete.
Beginning of Movement.
The movement to bring the national
convention to Baltimore was initiated
In that city at the time of the big
Democratic jubilee dinner there shortly
after the first OF the year. Former Sem
ator Blackburn of Kentucky proposed
at the dinner that the Maryland city
be picked as the next convention city
At once the movement was taken up
by the business and other interests in
Baltimore, and in a few weeks a fund
OF 100000 was pledged. At the sape
tllue convention nail holding lot,
people was guaranteed.
All this was done before any other
important city indicated that 1t would
like to entertain the Democrats When
1t became known that Baltimore was in
earnest, other cities jumped into the
fight. Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City
and Denver were early In putting in a
bid, and a little later Louisville anil
st. Paul extended an invitation.
Sentiment Cuts Figure.
For sentimental reasons, Baltimore
seemed 10 have the advantage. Before
the war; when the Democracy of the
country controlled the Government, Bal
timore was the great Democratic con-
vention city. Andrew Jackson was nom-
mated there as was James X. Polk and
Martin Van Buren. Other successful
Democratic candidates were chosen in
Baltimore.
This year the Democrats entertain
higher hopes than for half a century
of electing the next President. There

Changes In Personnel.
Another important change in the per-

summer was the selection of Ernest l..

while A. T. Stuart, who resigned as
superintendent. will take up the work
of director of intermediate instruction
This is the work Mr. Stuart prefers and

Already Dr. Davidson has made an ex-
ceptionally favorable impression on the
members of The Board of Education,
school officials, and teachers who have
met him. and on every hand is predicted
a successful regime while he remains
in Washington. Some have even gone
so far as to predict that the dove of
school situation and that agitation and
disagree ements may be a thing Of the
past. Just what will develop remains 10
be seen. DR.. Davidson is an educator OF
ability, of that there is not the slightest
doubt. Those who know him and know
of his work in the past say that no one
could be better qualified than he to take
up the work in Washington.
He stands for the most advanced idea
in education; yet he is not radical. He
does not believe in trying things that
have not proved a success and then dis
carding them because they were
failure. He believes the child is ~the

Several new buildings will have been
completed or be still under construction
when the school year opens. and when
they are finisfed additional seating ca
