WATER COMPANY
TO REPAIR MAINS

The Ely Water company is to
make extensive repairs to its water
mains throughout the district, such
a number of leaks having develop
ed as to affect the pressure and
make bad work with the streets.
The leaky mains have been discuss
ed at meetings of the city council,
and at a special meeting Tuesday
night, Arthur Smith, manager for the
company, was present, and stated
that immediate steps would be taken
TO have the leaks stopped. The
company claims that the trouble is
caused by air getting into the mains,
which are of wood construction.
1t is the company's intention to
build a reservoir on the hill, near
the intake to the mains, and when
this is done it is believed there will
be no more trouble from air in the
pipes, with the resultant leaks.
Concerning the proposed extension
of the hurry street main to the
spring, Manager Smith informed the
council, that the extension would
necessitate a new reservoir, and
that the total cost would be from
$4,000 to sec, 1000. About 5000
feet of main would have to be
laid, at an estimated expense of
three dollars per foot. There is
question as to the practicability Of
such an extension, as while it would
undoubtedly give increased pressure
in Ely, there might not at all times
be sufficient water to fill the main
and at the same time supply the
power plant. At present, when there
is a shortage of water in the ditch,
it is a simple matter to divert the
flow from the main, to the power
plant.

TARGET PRACTICE OF
ATLANTIC FLEET.

Few of us have ever witnessed a
spectacle of this kind. A great fleet
of battleships, grim and gray, silent
ly sailing along at the rate of fifteen
knots an hour. Suddenly these great
engines of war become alive; the
big guns that look so sold beleh forth
a terrific fire that sends enormous
shells weighing about a thousand
pounds singing oil their way, Their
course Is directed toward a dot-like
object far on the horizon not visible
to the naked eye. This dot is a
small target six miles away, being
towed by a steamer at the rate of
six knots per hour.
Cameras placed on the towing
steamer and IN the fleet show
every detail of practice in suberb
photography from the firing of the
guns to the striking of the shells.
The huge missiles hit the water with
in a few feet of the target or after
piercing the target itself and bury
their fury in the deep, sending gey-
ser-like sprays high in the air.
This film is of extraordinary in
terest, and will be shown AT the Bic
tonight.

RUTH ROLAND IN SILENT DRAMA

In the film THE Pugilist and the
Girl" at the Empire tonight, Miss
Ruth Roland leads as 1.-The girl" and
her part in this romantic comedy is
par excellence. She makes her
sweetheart jealous. lie is a good
amateur sparring artist, and the man
he is up against is. although this is
not known, the champion middle
weight of the northwest. The
sweetheart conspires to get him into
the ring and succeeds, but in the mill
the confident sweetheart gets a fear
full drubbing and 1t is all in sight of
the girl. Yet when she finds who the
opponent was, she is proud of the
showing he made, and makes up with
him.
Miss Roland's abilities in comedy
are we'll known; and in this her
amusing facial expression is as clear
as conversation. The film has two
good sparing contests in 1t.

HOW IT SOUNDS TO
A TENDERFOOT.
(From Copper Ore.)

Jones from Copper Gulch,
is in our city today,
Drove in with a load of mining
slopes; don't know how long
he will stay.
He states that things are booming,
down in the Gulch, you bet,
And all the wines and lenses are
working full shifts as yet.
While stalking a claim or the Mir
anda dump, with a churn drill
the other day,
He struck a stump of rich swabstick,
that looks to him like good
pay.
The samples he dug in the uplift
from the cross-cut into the
pit,
Showed ninety per cent of eleetrolyte
and of studdle quite a bit.
Hi. says the Spike Line railroad, of
siding is building a mile,
To connect with the Loo Loo tailings
and the Hunker Bill Stag pile,
On which a gasoline engine will run
a sinking pump,
To tram the overburden from the
Great Grandfather dump.
Last week, three cars of caying from
the Bull Con. mines were
sent,
That showed from sulphide analysis
a porphyritic content.
1t is thought by another fortnight,
the bins will all be full,
And the contract amount of oxide
can daily be shipped from the
While working around the tailings
of the gallows frame at the
bore,
The drill disclosed a stringer of rich
eontortion ore,
With a large cuprite of potash and a
vein of artesian flow,
That cuts the main alluvium for half
a mile, or so.
Then Hi. poured out four fingers and
drained it off with a grin,
And started to tell the newspaper
man about a strike of cuprif-
erous tin.
But the tenderfoot scribe had
tainted ere came his chance
to lope,
His brain had turned amorphous
from this flow of mining dope.
