which promises to be a very pretty
affair, is the baby show to be held
Saturday evening at Wonderland
hall under the auspices of the
Woman's Guild of ST. Bartholo-

guild have given many delightful
entertainments in the past which,
while given primarily with the OBJ

assistance to some worthy cause,
have Invariably proved to be social
occasions of unsurpassed pleasure.
Their annual bazar has become a
fixture in the district and is an

date was an unqualified success,
which gives assurance that the new

MAY WORK THROUGH ZACK.
Ely Central Makes Proposition to
Ely Consolidated Which Would
Advantage Both Companies.

proposition has been SUBJ
mtted by the Ely Central company
to the Ely Consolidated by which
the property of the former may be
worked through the Zack shaft of
the Ely Consolidated. Manager Quinn
of the latter company is firm in
his opinion that the ore of the Zaek
comes from the Ely Central ground,
and the idea would be to cross
cut to it through the ground of
Ely Consolidated
This work could be done wheth-
er or not the receiver would be will
ling. 1t would take between two
and three months to get out of Ely
Consolidated ground by which
time the court would decide the
questions at issue between the com.
pany and the receiver, and there
would be so much work done
ahead. II would also be a mos
economical way of working the
property of Ely Central for 4
would give a depth of 600 fee
to the mine at much less expens'
than 1t would take to sink shat
and drive to the ore.

BLACKHORsE AUTO SERVICE.

An auto service Is to be put In
operation in the very near future be-
tween Blackhorse and Ely If the
plans now formulated by w. r.
Miller are carried out. In view OF
the increased amount of develop
ment work that Is being done al
Blackhorse IL Is quite probable that
there will be more travel than can
be handled by the stage line which
will make the auto service profit
able and the trip can be made
much more easily. Mr. Miller ex-
poets to have several machines in
operation within a short time.

Arrangements Made With the
Nevada Northern to Handle
the Output of Big Mine
BLOCKING OUT THE HIGH GRADE
ALPHA ORE BODY Is GREATER
THAN FIFTY FEET IN WIDTH
AND MAY EXTEND SIX Hun
DRED FEET IN DEPTH.

Preparations are going ahead for
the shipment of ore from the Gil
roux Consolidated to the Interna-
tional smelter at Tooele Canyon,
and 1t is only a matter of blocking
out sufficient ore on the part of the
mining company for the shipments
to begin. 1t Is evident that the
differences between the Giroux and
the Nevada Northern have been
settled or at least adjusted.
Rumor has 1t that a contract exists
for the handling of 500 tons a day
over the local railroad line, but
1t is not known definitely whether
or not this Is true.
Whether 1t is true or not is i'm
material as far as the amount of
ore to be sent out of the district
is concerned 1t is pretty certain
that the Giroux will ship all that
can be possibly taken out, and V
is equally certain that the railroad
can handle all that is produced. At
the present time General Manager
Mills Is absent from the district n,
having returned from his trip to
Duluth Meantime they are work.
ing at the mine on the lines laid
down by the management. At
the 1,200-foot level they are in
the Alpha ore body, crosseutting it
and drifting on 1t both ways.
They have now considerable ore
blocked out. and from what can be
learned on the outside, the mine
should soon be in a position to
ship if 1t is not already in that po-
sition. In the workings at the 1900
they are getting high grade copper
ore, some of 1t being native copper,
the handsomest specimens ever seen
in the district. How much of
this kind of stuff there is is known
only to the management; but they
are in the ore for a depth of 200
feet, and are making toward it as
fast as possible from the 1,400-foot
level When they strike the ore at
this latter level they will have a
body 400 feet thinck, and the cross
cut at the 1900 shows it to be more
than SO feet in width.
As has been stated in the News
the Giroux will sink to the 1900
foot mark. and this work will be
started from the 1.400-foot level
upon the return of General Man
ager Mills. A crosscut will be run
from the 1.600-foot level and If
they find the ore at that depth the
Giroux will have been proved to
be a very big mine. The indica-
tions are that the ore will be en-
coutered at this level.

manner to make of it a most charm
ing evening. Baby shows are not new
by any means but this one will be
unique in this district, it being the
first ever held here. and ii is a
timely suggestion for it is generally
conceded that few communities of
like population can boast of more
beautiful babies. 1t is hoped that
every mother in the district will en-
ter her baby in the list that is
being prepared for the show which
will be held on July 29th. A fee
of $1.00 will be charged for each
baby, which includes admission of
the mother to the hall, or two babies
from one family and mother
Spectators will be charged 25c
each. A committee of five ladies
will be chosen to act as judges and
eight prizes will be awarded as fol
lows. For each boy and girl under
six months; for boy and girl be,
tween six months and one year; fol
boy and girl between one year and
two years; for boy and girl between
two years and three years.

Game Will be Between MCGill
and Steam Shovel Men and
Should be Corking Ball
WILL Be BATTLE FOR BLOOD
SHELTER MEN LEAD IN THE
PERCENTAGES COLUMN AND
THE GAME OF TO-DAY MAY
MAKE NEW RECORD.

Baseball today is scheduled for
Copper Flat when the first game of
the season will be played on the
diamond of the steam shovel men.
The game will be between Cop
per Flat and McGill and promises
to be a corker. The first game OF
the series was played by these teams
and signalized the opening of the
grounds at McGill. The lineup of
the team will be the same as when
they last met with the difference of
Johnny Walker in left field for Nc
GILL Tip O'Neill will hold down
left garden for the smelter men, and
the battery will be Griffith and
Stack. For Copper Flat the battery
will be Krugen and Workman.
This ought to be one of the
best games which has yet been
played on the diamond this year.
1t will be game for blood for the
teams are very close in the matter of
percentage, with McGill slightly in
the lead. With the Copper Flat
team now having their own dia-
mond the boys on the hill have
an opportunity for practice games,
and this will mean an improve
ment in their playing in the league
matches. The McGill team has
plenty of practice.
Considerable interest is manifest
ed in this game and it is expected
that there will be a big crowd go
to the Flat from Ely. East Ely and
MeGill. That everyone may be
given an opportunity to go up to
Ruth. the mine train which leaves
Eas Ely at 1870 will be held an
hour, making the time of departure
1890 and from Murry street 1910.
This will bring the chowd to
Ruth in ample time to see the game
and eliminate the wait there would
be otherwise at the grounds. Game
will be called at o'clock, and the
returning train will permit of plenty
of time in which to play the game.
As to the umpire, 1t is said that a
new man has been imported from
Salt Lake for the position, and that
there will not be any baseball play
ers behind the catcher or in the
field
The game on last Sunday at Nc
Gill between Ely and : McGill was
disappointment to the fans. Up
to the seventh inning it was one of
the prettiest games of the year, the
score being five to five. A dispute
arose in the first of the eighth in
ming over a decision of Murphy,
the field umpire, and the McGill
team was ordered off the grounds
by President Watson. McCroskey
declared the game forfeited to Ely
and fined McGill $25, the custom
airy fine for team leaving the field.
Subsequently, the president over
ruled the decison of the umpire
and declared the contest mo
game"
The decision of the president
has been protested to the directors
by Manager Durkee OF the Ely
team. and up to the present there
has not been meeting of the di-
rectors to determine whether the
Judgment of Watson shall prevail.
The latter maintains that his de-
eision is final and that there can
not be a protest, and Durkee takes
the opposite view. Mr.. Watson
bases his authority in ordering Cap.
tain Stack to take his men off the
field on the rules governing the
presidents Office. to-wit the eligibili
ty of the players.

WILL CELEBRATE
!. LABOR DAY At
M'G|LL
A GREAT EVENT IS PROMISED
Unions Decide Upon the Smelt-
er Town for the Observance
of the Toilers' Great Day
MUSIC, SONG, ORATORY, GAMES,
RACES AND A ROCK DRILLING
CONTEST FOR PRIZES SOME
OF THE FEATURES.

LdDOT udy Is 10 De celeDTaIeQ
at McGill and the entire force of
labor throughout the district is to
throw itself into the breach to
make this celebration the greatest
which has ever been known in
the district. Conner Flat has
united with and the
labor element of Ely, East Ely
and Lane City have united to meet
on the common ground of McGill.
That there will be great day down
at the smelter town there Is not the
slightest doubt. 1t will be a day
which will live in the lasting
memory of the people in the county.
McGill was decided upon as
the proper place to observe Labor's
great day at a meeting of the
unions of the district on last Sat
urday night; and while. at the out
set there were some votes in favor
of Ely as the centrally located
town for the celebration, when it
was found that the majority favor
ed McGill, the vote on the town
was made unanimous.
A general committee of nine
has been fixed upon to undertake
ali the arrangements of the day;
and this committee will be formed
from the various unions, each union
appointing delegates according to
its numerical strength. Out of the
general committee will be named
to take care of
each part of the program. There
will be a committee on reception;
one on games, another ON racing,
dancing; one on collections, etc.
Nothing will be overlooked to
make the occasion the greatest sue
cess of the kind ever known in
the district. The merchants of Nc
Gill will be asked to contribute
to the general fund, and there
will be appointed representa-
tative from the merchants to act
with the general committee.
McGill has been made by ma
ture the garden spot of the dis
trict for a celebration of the kind
which is being mapped out for
the observance of the day of the
toilers. McGill with its groves
and parks, it's shaded spots under
the trees, its cooling streams and
open air pavilion offers the best
location for an ideal celebration of
Labor Day. With the sports pro-
vided for the men, the chief con-
sideration of that day should be
for the women and the children,
and MeGill can be made into the
most attractive spot in the
tire district for their enjoyment
With the pleasure of the women
and children provided for there will
be nothing lacking in the obser-
vance of the day.
Prizes will be offered for the
various events, and of course, the
grand prize will be for the skill
exhibited in the rock drilling con-
test. This will be an event which
is sure to draw the best of science
and muscle not only from the dis
trict, but from the outside; and the
public can be assured of one of
the beet exhibitions which has
ever been seen. not only in the dis
trict. but in the entire state. There
will be. in addition. music, song
and oratory. embracing one of the
finest programs which has ever
been seen on any occasion in the
district.
