Game Today
N. n. AND ELY AND PICKED NINE
FROM SHELTER TOWN WILL
TRY OUT NEW MATERIAL IN
OPENING CONTEST TO-DAY.

The first championship game of
the season in the Steptoe Valley
League series will be played this
afternoon in the ball park at McGill.
The contending mines that will line
up for the opening struggle are the
N. N.-Ely and a picked nine from
McGill, and as some new material is
to be given a try-out the game prom
ises some interesting possibilities,
and fans from Ely and the Smelter
town will probably be on hand and
wearing their critical glasses.
For the N. N.-Ely, Riley, former
ly of the New England league, will
be given an opportunity to show his
speed-boy qualities in the pitchers
box, and if reputation stands for
anything. the eastern player will
be able to give a good account of
himself.
Krugen. who did the scientific
twirling for Copper Flat last sea-
son, is this year in the n. N.-Ely
lineup, and will take part in today's
program. With two such pitchers as
Riley and Krugen to fall back on the
N. Ms fell pretty sure of keeping
the hits and runs well out of reach
- fba NoCil1 oYbara oh
On the other hand, the McGill
fans claim to have some surprises
up their sleeves, and are banking a
lot on Sparks. the famous south
paw, who is to deliver the swift
shoots, curves and drops for the
puzzlement of the Ely slab artists
Sparks has come up from the coast
with a gold-mounted record of being
able to do things in the left-handed
line, and today's opening will show
II he can deliver the goods.
The N. N.-EIy lineup is as fol-
lows:
Catch, Fulmer and Workman;
pitch, Riley and Krugen; first base,
Hicks; second base, Lawrence; third
base. Waits; short stop, Conlin;
left field, Clotfelter; center field.
Nelson; right field. Dickinson; sub
stitute. Neil McGill.
The game will be called at 800
O'Clock sharp. Fans can leave Ely
at 200 O'Clock and East Ely at 2:1O
and arrive in McGill in ample time
to reach the ball park before the
game is called. The returning train
leaves McGill at $50 p. m.

ELY CENTRAL SHOWS
HIGH GRADE ORE

A. j. Selfridge. of Boston. arrived
in Ely Wednesday night, on business
connected with the New Ely Central
Copper company, of which he repre-
sents the board of directors. He is
here to investigate the prospects of
the company holdings on the Chispy
claims where ehurn drill is in op-
Grafton, and consult with ]. NJ. Lock-
hart, local attorney for the COM
pany, on legal matters bearing on
the reorganization.
In an interview with Mr.. Selfridge
it is learned that the new COM
pany is in full control of the prop
erty and all assets of the former
organization, and that the process
OF reorganization is going on in a
sure and satisfactory manner. I'm
der the terms of reorganization,
about one million shares of the old
stock have been deposited for ex-
change, which will leave 600, 900
shars of no value in the concluding
details. In the reorganization the
new company also comes into pos
session of all the bonds and other
assets and obligations of the old
company. 1t is not proposed to
issue share certificates until the
end of the final statutory period
of redemption, which is not until
July 1st or thereabouts. This in

ACQUIRED MORE POTASH LANDS

A trio of Ely citizens, c. w.
Gaby, Abe Shallenbacger and Bud
Rose, who recently wenE to Railroad
valley to locate potash lands. re-
turned Wednesday, and are enthusi-
astic over the conditions there as
they found them. They report gen.
eral activity throughout that dis
trict, and that the work of the
Railroad Valley Saline company
whereby the existence of potash in
the old lake bed has been proved.
has had an optimistic effect.
Messrs. Gaby, Shallenbarger and
Rose during their stay there, made
locations and did the assessment
work ON $50 acres of land, and are
confident In the hope that the To-
cation covers valuable potash.
They further report that one of the
best roads in the state is being built
across Railroad valley, and sur
faced with gravel. The road to
Tonopah is impossible on account
of the overflow from artesian wells.
This road Is one constructed by the
Saline company, and 1t is considered
likely that the Nye county commits
sioners who are about to inspect 1t,
will take the steps necessary to
have the road put in good condi-
tion and made a permanent high
way.
Prospectors and explorers in the
valley have to use considerable
caution in many places because of
the water from artesian wells which
has made the treacherous grounds
dangerous on account of the quick
sand that underlies the thin surface
crust.
