the fire, the brewery has never stop

company having been fortunate
enough to have saved in the neigh
borhood of 5000 barrels from the
flames. In addition, the machinery

NEW OREBODY IS
OPENED Up At
THE C|ROUx
Discovery of Rich Rock Follows
Finding of Bunches of High
Grade and Native Copper

Giroux is into the ore; ore that is
richer than ever encountered in the
mine before; new ore body in ad-
dition to that of the Alpha shaft
The big find was made on the after
noon shift on Wednesday, and the
ore body has yeen getting bigger,
stronger and richer ever since. They
are now nearly 20 feet into the body,
and still have to go 25 feet to reach
the Alpha shaft.
The ore was opened up at the l ;
200 of the Giroux shaft, in the north
east crosscut to the Alpha. For a
week previous they had been getting
punches of high grade, in which
there were streaks of native copper;
but it was late Wednesday evening
when they broke into the big thing.
The effect on the stock was immedi-
ate the price of the security closing
ON Wednesday night at six dollars,
and advancing to seven in the morn
ing session of Thursday.
Samples of the ore have been
brought down to Ely. and the esti-
mate of the average is in the
neighborhood of 20 per cent. The
assays of regular samples. taken from
the find in the orthodox manner, are
not being. given out by the manage
ment; but there is no doubt as to the
Importance of the find. 1t is more
than likely that the continuation of
the new body as we'll as that of the
Alpha ore will be found in the 400
level, which is now out trifie over
800 feet. At the present time they
are getting plenty of water at the
lower level, anu ais is just what the
Giroux Consolidated wants-water
for the operation of concentration.
Everything is progressing smooth
ly at the mine, and it is on the cards
that more men are to be put on in
the near future for the greater de-
velopment of the underground work
ings. The find of Wednesday is
fraught with as much Importance to
the district as to the owners of the
property.

Jack Carpenter and Curley
Rhue to Don Mitts- In ely
Park Saturday Night
4 FIGHT TO A FARE. .YOU-WELL
BOTH MEN IN THE BEST OF con-
DITION AND HAVE BEHISD
THEM SPLENDID RECORDS IN
THE ROPED ARENA.

When Curley Rhue of McGill and
Jack Carpenter of Denver face each
other in the squared circle on next
Saturday night, watch the sparks fly.
The boxing exhibition will take place
in the Ely Baseball park, and from
past performances of the two men,
the go should be the best ever seen
In the district This Is savin good
deal, for Ely and East E have both
witnessed the snappie kind OF
scraps.
This is to be a contes. of 20
rounds That will be enough, and
from wha' is known of the fighters,
there be be no 20 rounds. It's
mocha to doughnuts that there will
be knockout under Is rounds; for
the pace will be fast one from start
to finish. The men In their contests
before have each put up the same
kind of fight; fast and furious
from the sound of the gone. and there
is no reason to be,ieve that this wilr
not be a repetition of past perfor-
mances. There is one thing on which
the fight fans may depend: This will
be no badger contest; Carpenter
won't have to pull Curley Rhue out
of his corner as he did Sailor Gordon.
Curley will be there in the middle of
the ring as quickly as his agile op-
ponent.
Both fighters have been training
hard. Carpenter has had for his
fight partner Joe Clark, champion
welter weight of the inter-mountain
region; and the way the latter has
made Carpenter go would do credit
to real marathon. But he has made
the boy work and has kept him in
the best of condition. Down at Nc
Gill Curley Rhue has not been lack
ing in fight partners. He has tried
them all out, and he will come to
Ely with plenty of MeGill money to
say that he Is the best man. Oh.
there will be a scrap In that arena
all right, and the men will be going
from gong to gong. And there will
be bigger crowd than there was at
the last contest, for the people at
that time did not know Carpenter.
They did not know that he was
there"
Curley Rhue is well known in the
district, and is the hero of many a
hard fight. Quiet and unassuming
in every day life, in the ring he is
transformed into a fighting machine.
and the man who goes up against
him knows that he has been fighting.
His friends are doing the talking for
him, and vouch for him to bring
home the bacon. His last fight was
with kid" Bennett at East Ely, and
it was a 20-round draw. Previous to
that he had fought a draw with
Stanley Ketchel for ten rounds.
Some record there behind that Nc
Gill boy; and Carpenter is the hero
of more than so fights, with the ma
jority of them to his credit Fight
fans and others we are going to see
some fun on next Saturday night.

QUEEN To REIGN
OVER DAYS OF
THE FOURTH
Goddess of Liberty Will Be
6eoted to Preside Durin & Gel
ebration of independence

Three days will be spent in the
celebration of the glorious Fourth by
citizens of Ely and East Ely, and
everybody in the entire district is in
yited to participate in the festivities.
There will be something doing every
minute of the time. The program
has been made out for the three days
and the committee discharged. But
there is work ahead for the remain
der of the committees and these are
working with a will and in a manner
which spells success with very
large S. Accommodations are to be
made for the visitors to Ely, and
there will be plenty of room and ac-
commodation when the festivities
are switched according to program,
to East Ely.
Just now the twin cities are in
the midst OF heated campaign over
the election of goddess of liberty,
who will be the reigning queen of
the festivities. who will have her
maids and male attendants; and
whose wand will carry the. open
sesame to all the functions of the
celebrations to herself and those who
are In her train. The queen must be
selected from the ranks of girls
merging into the ripeness of woman
hood; and ladies who have passed
from the stage of single belessed-
ness are barred. The reigning queen
will be a spinster, girl in age, any
where from IL years old to the CEN
tury mark.
The two towns are all agog over
the election and there is the most
spirited voting going on which has
ever been witnessed in Ely. not bar
ring political times. The voting
places are in Calrk's Drug store and
in that of the Steptoe Drug company.
where also the ballots are to be OBJ
tanned. Each ballot costs one cent,
but the ballots are made out only in
denominations of 5, 10, 25, so and
100 votes. AS the votes are purchas-
ed, the name of the goddess the pur-
chaser desires is written on the slip,
and the latter deposited in the ballot
box.
The general election will close on
June "a. Then the names of ten
candidates. having the highest num-
Der of votes will be taken, and the
remainder eliminated from the con-
test. Out of these ten will the god
dess of liberty and queen regnant
be elected. The committee in charge
of the election reserve the right to
throw out the names of any un-
worthy person In fact. II such names
are put in the ballot box they will
never be heard of. The contest be-
tween the ten candidates will termi-
nate on the night of June rs. which
