OLD PRODUCER
IS IN L|ME[|GHT.
JOHN DERN'S MILLIONS WILL
AWAKEN LIFE IN EGAN CAN
YON MINES AFTER FIFTEEN
YEARS OF IDLENESS.

After having lain idle for more
than fifteen years, the mineral es-
tate of the North Mountain Mining
company near Egan canyon near
Cherry Creek, which was consistent
producer in the early days of the
county, is destined to attract the at
tention of the mining world once
more.
Through a reorganization of the
company. backed by the millions of
John Dern the old time properties
will soon be active The resumption
of work after a long period of inac-
tiyity will result in the influx of cap
ital that win spell development work
on a gigantic scale. Before produc-
tion can be maintained. II will be
necessary for the Utah capitalists
who are attempting TO revive mining
in that neglected neighborhood, to
spend considerable money in dead
work, as the original workings are
no. In fit condition for mining.
Since operations were suspended a
watchman has been employed on the
property. George Kelsey, who has
held down that assignment for the
last ten years. encountered a body
of gold bearing ore reported TO be
ten inches wide, which showed assay
values ranging from $3.50 to $500 in
the yellow metal Mr. Kelsey had
worked on his claim several years

Ii Is the general belief that the
discovery of high grade ore on Kel-
sey's claim. which lies contiguous to
the North Mountain holdings. induced
bern and his associates to resume
an active campaign OF development.
IL is claimed that there is a large
quantity of low grade gold and silver
ores opened up on this property.

Soccer cam
Is Organized

Soccer football threatens to become
popular form of amusement in Ely
district. A team has been organized
at McGill, and is anxious to schedule
games with other clubs in this local
ity. Many of the prospective candi-
dates were members of crack teams
III Scotland and Ireland, and they are
going to have the game played right.
In soccer the arms are NOT used
at all, foul being awarded to the
opposition if any player touches the
ball with his hands. Injuries in soccer
are almost unknown and such as are
suffered are generally trivial.
When person has become aeeus-
toned to football as it is played in
this country. he has but hazy idea
of the rules of soccer, as in the
American game the hands are used
as frequently as the feet in propelling
the ball towards the opposition goal.
Twelve men reported for practice
last Friday night at McGill, and 1t
is expected that this number will be
materially increased within the next
two weeks. A regulation soccerfield
will be laid out soon at the Nc
Gill ranch. and daily practice will be
INDUCED in by those who are inter-
ested In the sport.
The following have signified their
intention of trying for places on the
team: Mike O'Hara. Frank Sleeman,
Harry Trewin, Mike Campbell. Cuff

REPUBLICANS HOLD ENTHUsI-
ASTIC MEETING.

The spirit of go" was the keynote
of the members of the Republican
central committee at a meeting at the
City hall last night, which was at
tended by fifty persons from all parts
OF the Ely district. An optimistic
feeling prevailed, and it was the gen.
eral impression of those present that
the possibilities of party success in the
county at the primaries and general
election never possessed more ro-
seate hue.
Unusual interest was manifested at
the gathering. and everything was
lively from. the jumpoff. The tide
of travel from the mines and McGfll
exceeded expectations, and assured
the members of the committee that
the outside portions are taking an
active interest in the forthcoming
campaign.
The local political situation was
discussed from every angle. Candi-
dates for the different political port
folios were discussed, and from the
numerous names that were suggested,
it is assured that the Republicans will
have complete party ticket for the
September primaries.
Legislative candidates were consid-
cred, and two persons announced that
they were anxious to represent the
body polite IN the lower house OF
the legislature No difficulties are an
| ffcipated in filling the remaining
places on the ballot.
In order that nothing might be
left undone. committee consisting
CT Senator \ H. Chaplin, A. L. Parker
and Senator H. A. Comins, were ap,-
pointed by Chairman &C. Gallagher
to fill vacancies wherever necessary
and induce the timid ones with politi-
cal bees in their bonnets to declare
their intentions.
The question of getting complete
registration of the parry vote was one
OF the important things considered at
the meeting A committeeman was

cincts for the purpose of obtaining .

candidacy for sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket. subject to the will of
the voters at the primary election in
September Mr. Caperton has been
a resident of Ely for the past eight
years and is serving his fourth year
as county commissioner. II is almost
needless to state that he has a wide
acquaintance throughout the county
and is looked upon as citizen of
sterling qualities and of good busi-
ness ability and judgment. He is in
the employ of the Steptoe company
at McGill but finds time to look aft
er the county interests that come un-
der the Jurisdiction of the board of
commissioners. As he is popular as a
citizen and active in the affairs of
his party. his friends predict that he
will make strong run at the pri-
mary election, and live candidate
