a good imitation of a trombone and he
performs some marYels with a bunch

another and then bring the lighted

There is also a little negro who can
dance all around lots Of other minstrel
men. Last night he was shOwered
with money from the audience.
The first part includes some good
dancing, a number of songs that are
not at all bad and the usual lot Of
jokes that are as new as the average

with a plantation farce that intro

dancing and a good deal Of comedy.

Is Cherry Creek about to develop
into another Goldfield?
That is a question repeated many
times during the past two days, or
since word was flashed throughout
the district that a gold strike of SEN
sational size and value had been
made in the old White Pine county
town. The report at first received
with incredulity soon bore the stamp
of truth, and responsible parties who
hurried from Ely to the golden ledge
verify the truth of the find.
Already the citizens of Cherry
Creek have gone wild and the town
has been practically deserted since
the report of the discovery. People
are leaving Cherry Creek in the
night in order to be on the ground
with the morning sun.
The find was made by j. G.. Doug
lass and Peter Ghigliazzi, in a ledge
several miles due west from the town
of Cherry Creek, on the old overland
road, near Johnson's Springs, which
were at one time a wood camp.
II is claimed from good authority
that the ledge has been driven for a
distance of eighteen feet in width
without finding the limitations and
that samples taken from the entire
width as far as prospected all pan
free gold and that the entire ledge
will average from $50 to $40 per
ton. The rock is free milling and is
what is called sugar quartz. Assays
have been had as high as $50 per
ton.
The strike. located close to the old
overland trail, has been passed by
hundreds of unsuspeeting prospectors
and pioneers until brought to light
by Douglas and Ghigliazzi. One old
timer told a representative of the
News today that he had prospeeted
every foot of the ground in that
neighborhood years ago and had

WOMAN'S CLUB To SERVE
LUNCH TO WORKERS
ON CLEANUP DAY

The Woman's club meeting al
the county high school house yester-
day was attended by nearly the full
membership and the program given
was of an interesting nature. The
numbers included a piano solo by
Miss Meyer of East Ely; vocal solo
by Mrs. ]. w. Gum; current events
discussed by Miss Frances Meyers;
debate on woman's suffrage by Mrs.
Street and Miss Black. At the con-
clusion of the formal program, atten-
ton was given to cleanup day, May
2 and making arrangements for the
lunch that Is to be given on that
date to all workers. The women,
who started the movement for clean
up day are determined to see ii
through in a manner befitting the oc-
easion, and it is believed those who
work and take part in the general
cleaning that is to come to Ely on
that date, are entitled to the stimula-
ton and encouragement of tasty
and nourishing lunch. The lunch
may also prove an incentive for in
creased effort on the part of some oi
the workers. 1t will probably be
served in the vacant room on the
first floor of Hotel Ely ,and the com.
mittee in charge of the lunch are Mrs
Miles, Mrs Street, Mrs. Cora New
man, Mrs rs.Schwalenberg, Miss Fran
ces Meyers.
The next meeting of the club. will
be the last of the season, and a full
attendance is desired. as it is the
meeting for election of officers and

DISCUSS PARK IMPROVEMENT.

The county commissioners held
an adjourned meeting yesterday, and
discussed plans for beautifying the
park opposite the court house. A
sketch of the proposed improvements
was submitted by J. H. Watson, and
the plans meet with the approval of
the commissioners. 1t is proposed
to start work at once on the plaza,
and when everything is completed
the park will be a most attractive
spot and add greatly to the city's
appearance. The clerk was authoriz-
ed to order new trees to replace those
that have not survived the winter.
In regards to a name for the park
several have been suggested, but the
opportunity is yet present for some
one to become immortal by ap-
propriating a name that will survive.
County Commissioner Caperton
was absent at yesterdays meeting,
being out of town. Adjournment
was to May 5.

passed over the location of the new
find many times.
Everyone who has visited the ledge
has instantly become imbued with
excitement, and Cherry Creek is pre-
pairing for a big boom. Everyone
who could get there has gone and
already hundreds of claims have been
staked.
The ledge which is twenty-five feet
in width runs north and south, and
can be traced on the surface for five
miles So far. according to late re-
ports last night from Cherry Greek,
nothing but surface work had been
done, but the results all pointed to
the richness of the find. Already a
townsite is being staked out, and
claims have been staked for ten
miles along the course of the ledge
Among those from Ely who started
for Cherry Creek on hearing of the
strike, were DIR. w. S. Holmquist and
Dr. R. L. Magoon. Both returned
late Friday night, and verified the
report oe t,.e extent and richness of
the ledge.
Ole Elliott, who arrived in Ely
last week on business, hot-footed it
to Cherry Creek as soon as he could
make a start on receipt of telegram
from George A Fisher, in which he
mentioned free gold and $50 ore.
Today it is expected there will a
procession of automobiles bound
from Ely to the Cherry Greek find,
for the distance is only about eighty
miles, and a big gold camp in such
close proximity to Ely is a dream of
pleasant anticipation. The ore turn
ed over by the shots fired in the ledge
yesterday is evidence that the find
is not confined te the surface of the
ledge and is taken as evidence by
experienced miners that the Cherry
Creek strike is to develop into one of
tie most sensational discoveries of
the yellow metal in he history of the
country.

NEW EQUIPMENT ORDER
BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC
B|GCESTOM RECORD

John A. Gill, Nevada booster
but on the Southern Pacific pay roll.
was in Ely and McGill during the
week, looking things over and seeing
that every one is doing his part in
making the country prosperous.
John sticks to the belief that some
day the Steptoe valley will be dotted
with ranches and the homes of happy
and prosperous families in the agri-
cultural pursuit. There is nothing
impossible in these days of progress.
With plenty of water in the ground,
the means for pumping 1t for irriga-
ton purposes will come.
To show what the Southern
Pacific company thinks of the future
and its requirements, they have re-
Gently placed an order for equip
ment, great portion being for de-
livery the present year and for dis
tribution over the entire system,
from Portland to New Orleans and
from San Francisco to Ogden, in
eluding Nevada and all branch lines.
The total cost is approximately
s11, ,429, 900, and il is said to be the
largest order ever placed at one time
by any railroad. The order includes
ia locomotives, S.1S1 box cars, 961
gondola cars, 700 work cars, $50
stock cars. 400 automobile cars, 240
fiat cars, 200 tank cars. 45 eaboose

DECLAMATORY CONTEST

The defamation contest to be
given at the Ely Photoplay next Fri
day evening, promises to be an in
teresting occasion, and as il is under
the auspices of the White Pine
county high school, there is sure to
be a large audience to hear the eff
forts of the various contestants, a
list of whom with the titles of the
selections was printed in the News
last Sunday. The judges will be
Judge Ben. w. Coleman, A. l.. Haight
and Mrs. l.. G. Sehwalenberg, and
silver and bronze medals will be
awarded first asd second places.
Another incentive to spur to best eff
fort is that two, boy and a girl, will
be chosen TO represent the school at
Reno, in May. for the state contest.
In reaching decisions the boys and
girls will be judged separately, as

MIDLAND LOG TO LAKE VIA
KINSLEy AND GRANVILLE

There was a meeting of the Ely
Automobile club at the city hall,
yesterday afternoon, at which Presi-
dent Gael S. Hoag of the club, made
a report of his recent trip to Salt
Lake, for the purpose of logging the
Midland trail between Ely and Salt
Lake. 1t has been deem decided by
the club, that for the present at least,
the route between these points will
be via Granville, Utah, and Kinsley
or Schellbourne, Nevada The next
step to be taken is the estimating for
the sign boards which are to be put
up along the route, and this will be
attended to as soon as practicable.
1t is practically assured that the
Indiana Automobile Manufacturers
association will come through Ely in
July, en- route to the Pacific coast,
and the local club will make arrange
ments for meeting the Indiana travel
ers and escorting them to Ely. There
will probably be from 80 to so cars
from Indiana, with trucks for trans
porting camp and other supplies.

Thursday night, and decided to have

weather conditions permitting The
outing. which will be the first of the
season, is also an expedition against
the carp in Comins lake, as it is pro-
posed to take along good sized
seine and drag the lake for this un-
desirable fish. Catfish and bass
brought to the surface, will be re-
turned to the water, as those fish
are game fish and it is for the pur-
pose of preserving them that war is
being waged against the carp.
Automobiles will be in readi-
