vALUABLE RANCH
CHANGES HANDS

John Lawton Butler. the we'll
known mining man. has purchased
the Horton ranch on Currant creek
in Nye county, according to the state
ment made BY Mrs Horton, who
visited Ely during the week.
This ranch is perhaps one Of the
best known properties in this section
of the country. 1t is admirably sit
pated on Curant Greek. where an
abundant flow of water is to be had
at all seasons OF the year. The price
paid for the property is said to be
S27,O00 cash. and at this figure the
ranch should return to the purchaser
a handsome sum on his investment.
The ranch property comprises 600
acres and the crops and live stock
thereon pass to Mr.. Butler under the
terms of the sale. but the cattle on

Final I nbute to
Late |. C. Moon
MANY ATTEND FUNERAL or
AGED PIONEER WHO WAS
LONG ACTIVE IN AFFAIRS OF
ELY DISTRICT.

The remains of the late 1. G. Moon
one of the oldest and most highly
respected citizens of White Pine
county. were tenderely laid to rest
on Wednesday last while throng of
life long friends of the deceased
looked on with heads bowed down
and hearts sinking within their
breasts. The funeral cervices were
conducted by Rev. David J. Fergu-
son. As told in the News last Sun
day, the deceased passed away sud-
denly on Friday. but the remains
were held until Johnathan c. Moon.
the only surviving brother. could
reach Ely from his home in Califor-
mia.
Mr.. Moon was a native of Indiana
and had reached the ripe old age
1s sixty-nine When his couatry
needed his aid he was one of the first
to go to the front and fought with
credit to himself as we'll as the flag.
At the close of the war he was hon.
orably discharged as union soldier.
He came to Nevada in 1866. Mr..
Moon engaged in the mining business
and followed it through his long and
active career He was a prominent
figure in snch great mining excite
ments as Hamilton. Cherry Creek.
Taylor, and in fact all the active
camps in White Pine county His
labors were rewarded when the boom
struck Ely and he made comfort
able fortune. He resided in Lane
City up to the time of his death. He
was director as we'll as stock
holder in the Ely National bank and
the owner of valuable property in the
city of Ely He was married while
a resident of this county. and the
death OF his noble wife about twelve
years ago cast gloom over this COM
munity from which perhaps Mr.. Moon
himself never completely recovered.
Perhaps no other man could be TAX
en- from our midst who would be
more sincerely mourned than such a
stalwart old pioneer as I. c. Moon.
He had world of faith in the miner
al resources and great possibilities of
Nevada. and loved to discuss with
young and active men the rich noun

ELY BOYS PLAY PART IN BIG

the Panama Pacific Exposition, and
rmerly auditor of the Nevada
Northern railway. was visitor in
the district during the past week
He was accompanied by his secretary
c. M. Bowen, also a former resident
of Ely. Messrs. Durkee and Bowen
came overland from San Francisco
and stopped at the Northern hotel,
leaving Friday for the return trip.
When interviewed by a represen-
tative of the News. Mr.. Durkee ex-
pressed great satisfaction with con-
ditions at the Exposition. He reports
that the success of the Exposition
from an artistic and educational
standpoint was never in doubt and
that the past sixty days have assured
the financial outcome.
Most people," said Mr.. Durkee,
don't appreciate the task that the
builders of the Exposition had before
them. The construction was a three
year job and at one time nearly
twenty thousand workmen we're busy
night and day striving to keep San
Francisco's promise that the exposi-
tion would open February 20 and be
completely ready The European war
necessitated complete change in the
plans for assembling exhibits and a
few foreign installations were not
quite ready on opening day but the
Exposition's wonderfully varied at

period by nearly ten thousand dol

Of her million dollar pledge put us

You can imagine that we had a rath-

We took the bull by the horns and
borrowed twelve hundred thousand

dollars worth of season books and
then went ahead and plunged an
other quarter of a million on our
faith that we had show that would
make good. We we're justified by the
results. Our attendance has steadily
increased. reaching an average of
eighty thousand per day for the last
two weeks and bidding fair to reach

Asked by News representative
regarding the financial condition of
the exposition, Mr.. Bowen stated,
"You have in Mr.. Durkee's presence
the best evidence that the exposition
is a financial success. Since assum-
ing his duties as comptroller Mr..
Durkee has had direct supervision of
the collection and disbursement of
some $500, 100000 and / am quite
certain that he would not desert his
post at this time unless the balance
was on the right side of the ledger.
Financial troubles in the early stage
have been the history with all ex-
positions and the one at San Francico
has been no exception. For some
time following opening day. due to
depressed conditions throughout the
country. the. European war. and in
no small part to unfavorable weather,
the attendance was not all that could
be expected. however. the turnstiles
now record an average of $1,000.
daily admissions with weekly net
profits in the neighborhood Of $15s.-
10000. There is every reason to
hope for a continuance of this re-
markable showing and NO reason to
doubt when the gates are closed at
midnight December 4th the exposi-
tion will have proved as great artis-
tic as well as financial success.
AS to Mr.. Durkee-as an exposi-
tion ofacial he is naturally in favor
of publicity. AS an individual he
abhors the limelight and l don't
want to risk my position by going
into details. He stands well with
with President Moore and is liked by
all OF the directors. while his en-
ployes. which include several boys
we'll known in this district. swear by
him. That he has more than made
good is best evidenced By the many
flattering offers for his services At
