Articles of Incorporation Filed by
Federal Ely Mining Company
Present Interesting Information

The announcement yesterday that
the Federal Ely Copper company had
filed articles of Incorporation with
the county clerk created an unusual
amount of interest locally, and there
are a number of prominent and con-
servative citizens who profess to seq
in the action an important develop
ment of the Federal Ely property or
possible merger of numerous small
er holdings. This view is based on
knowledge of the list of incorpor-
ators, who are VIM. NJ. Bradley, d. G.
Jackling, Henry Newell, w. II. Dick.
son, w. j. Craig, e. L. Sheets, Rich
ard r. Evans. John T. Hodson, l.. H..
Farnsworth and A. C. Ellis. Jr.
These are names that carry weight
and are somewhat of surprise to
those who aim te keep posted on the
mining game, as being considerably
different from the ones supposed to
be interested in the affairs of Federal
Ely. In fact, 1t is the first knowl-
edge that ID. C. Jackling is or has
been associated in any way with the
development of the property.
The incident of the filing of the
articles of Incorporation was a sub
ject of general discussion yesterday
among Ely business men. A repre-
sentative of the News in getting light
on the matter, interviewed Gael $
Hoag, resident agent for Federal
Ely, and who filed the articles of in
corporation. Apropos of the fact
that Federal Ely is Incorporated un-
der the laws of the state of Utah,
with a capital stock of one million
shares at a par value of $500 per
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1914-02-08

share, Mr.. Hoag stated that the
company is patenting all its claims
and that the fling of the articles of
Incorporation was in fulfillneat OF
the laws of Nevada relating to foreign
corporations. Beyond that the action
had no significance. he said.
This explanation, while of a tech
Dica1 nature, does not fit in with the
views of those who see something
else in the wind, on the natural sup
position that the company had al
ready taken this necessary action at
some time in the past. 1t is this par
tIoular phase that stimulates the be.
lief that a new company is in pro
cess of organization 10 push develop
ment work on a large scale.
The mining lands of the Federal
Ely include the Panama claim about
cne-half mile north of the Star Point
er shaft of the Nevada Consolidated; !;
eight claims north of the Nevada Con-
solidated; three cllms between the
Cumberland-Ely and Turner-Ely, and
the Queen of the West group in Rob
inson canyon. Churn drill borings on
the property are said to have given a
satisfactory showing of ore, and the
development has been by tunnels ag-
2regating about one thousand feet IL
length and three shallow shafts. The
mine has a steam plant and water
supply estimated at S75 miners S
inches in dry season and constitut-
ing a valuable asset. The Nevada
Northern railroad passes the mouth
OF the tunnel. About seven years
ago a 500-ton mill was planned, but
never materialized.

OFFERS TO LEASE BALL PARK.

At special meeting of the city
council Thursday evening to discuss
with Manager Arthur Smith of the
Ely Water Company. plans were put
under way that will in all probability
bring about a satisfactory settlement
of the differences that have existed
between the city and the water COM
pany regarding the alleged damage
to streets and sidewalks from the
water company's mains and pipes.
Another important matter devel-
oped at the meeting concerning the
Ely baseball park, which is the prop
erty of the Ely Securities company.
The lease formerly held by d. j. Sui
livan has expired, and the Securities
company will either have to release
1t or the park will become a thing of
the past Mr. Smith called the at
tention of the council to the situation
and signified his willingness to lease
the park to the city for a very NOM
ina1 sum, rather than dismantle tthe
amusement place for the lumber
upon it, which will have to be done
II some other arrangement cannot be
made TO bring in something in the
way of an income. The Securities
company does not expect to make
anything from the park but desires to
obtain sufficient income to cover ex-
pense of maintenance and taxes.
There is strong feeling in Ely
that Mr.. Smiths generous sugges-
ton is a good one, and that the park
should be retained. Once it goes out
of use as a park, the city has no
available place for such sport as the
park was designed for, and it would
cost very much more 10 build new
than to retain the present one. II il
hoped something can be done that
will insure the permanence of the
Ely ball park.

Samuel Plat Says He Wants to Be United
States Senator and Plainly Gives His Reasons

The following is an interview pub
lished in a recent issue of the Reno
Gazette, quoting United States Dis
trict Attorney Samuel Platt, who has
announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
senator:
II suppose" said Mr. Platt, "if
were to follow tradition and affect
becoming modesty which seems to be
peculiar to the persuaded" aspirant
for high political Office, 1t would only
be proper to insist from the begin
ming that my candidacy for the Unit
ed States senate was demanded by
riotous phalanx of ebullient and per-
sistent friends. At the risk of smash
ing precedent, | want to state frankly
that I'm candidate for this big Of

TO represent the people of my native
state in the United States senate. 1t
is a straightforward. personal desire
coupled with the belief that If | sue
ceed. may further crafty myself by
serving my lifelong neighbors and
friends in a manner wholly justifying
their confidence.
"Up to now have deferred to the
possible candidacy of others who in
my judgment have superior oualifi-
cations for leadership. 1t is only a
few short months before the cam
paign and no other announcement
has yet been made. The nature OF
the fight demands work. organiza-
tion and timely preparation. l have

NO APPARENT LACK OF
CANDIDATES FOR THE
TREASU RE RSH|P

Notwithstanding the resignation
from the county treasurership of A..
J. Carpenter, he is still treasurer, and
no action will be taken by the COM
missioners before February 16, the
date of their next meeting, and it is
also possible that definite action may
not be taken at that time. The COM
missioners are not committing them
selves one way or another, one of
them jokingly stating yesterday that
one of their own number expected to
resign as commissioner in order to be
appointed treasurer. MIR. Carpenter
will continue in the duties of office
until his resignation is acted upon.
Meantime, there are numerous
candidates for the position and
speculation is rife as to who will land
the appointment. Morris Roberts.
Ed. White, Frank Root. John Weber.
Layton Plummer, Tom Bath, Marion
Shallenbarger. Jack Callahan, H. w.
Edwards. James Collins, Herman
Wise, George Mezger, William Stew
art. George p. Armand and Dan J.
Sullivan have been mentioned as
likely candidates for the position who
are said to have made application.
Through a mistake the name of
VIM. Mcknight was published in a
local paper as one of those who was
seeking the Office. This is not the
case, as Mr.. Mcknight did not apply
for the position and has no intention
of doing so.
During the past two days rumor
has mentioned Mr.. Sullivan strongly
as the man who is most likely to re-
ceive the appointment. This is prob
ably the outcome Of telegram TO
ceived from Mr.. Sullivan by Mr.. Carr
penter. Mr.. Carpenter had written
Mr.. Sullivan at Carson Citk. asking
MIN If he would daccept the appoint
ment of treasurer. Mr.. Sullivan

has reeked in political mud long
enough.
THE purity of election law now on
the statute books of Nevada means
what it says. | have faith in the be-
lief that the people of Nevada will aid
me in killing off campaign corrup-
tion and the prostitution of voters in
this state. If I can't win through an
honorable ballot, | don't want the
Office. If | am defeated through a
dishonorable ballot my opponent will
never take Office If / live long enough
to prevent 1t. | shall fight as ma
tive son to represent my own state
in the United States senate. / shall
welcome the outsider to Nevada and
solicit his suffrage upon the straight
up matter-of-fact basis that citizen
of Nevada may better protect an out
slider who risks his all with us.
But I'll have more to say as the
campaign progresses. Indications
point to very lively time. For my
self, I'm glad to be in it,"
Mr.. Platt said he had delayed his
announcement until his term of Office
had expired with some consideration
to that date but particularly to defer
to others. AS to the Progressives he
said he thought there was the oppor
tunity for both parties to work in
harmony in the development of
practically the same ideas.
''Some of the doctrines of the Pro-
gressive," said Mr.. Platt. ARE essen
tial in reforms with the Republican
party. No party however big and
strong is immune from mistakes. The
leaders of the Republican party
realize this and recognize the neces-
sity for reform. ] would be in favor
of several planks of the Progressive
party as a rule of action in the Re-
publican party. Many of these re-
forms are desirable and can be ac-
complished in the Republican party.
For instance the apportionment sys-
TEN in the Republican party should
be changed and reformed so that the
entire membership of the party may
be adequately represented in conven-
tions rather than have a dispropor-
tionate representation by virtue of To-
cality. l believe the new plan out
lined by the Republicn National COM
mittee is sufficient as beginning of
this reform.
81 am not In favor of the recall of
judicial decisions" said Mr.. Platt in
answer to question. "but ! would
favor as reform some of the planks
in the present Progressive party and
] do not feel that the Progressives
and the Republicans in this state need
be at cross-puposes with one an
other"
