is PLANNING
RESUMPTION OF ACTIVITY

General Manager e. F. Gray of the
Consolidated Coppermines company,
accompanied by Mrs. Gray, returned
last Monday from New York, where
he attended the annual meeting of
that corporation. 1t is anticipated
that the task of raising a million dol
lars for refinancing the company will
soon be an accomplished fact.
1t Is the intention of the manage
ment to further develop the ore re-
serves through ehurn drilling, and IL
is also believed that work will be re
sumed on the underground workings
of the Copermines near Ruth. All in
terests who are identified with the
company are working in complete
harmony and no further obstacles are
expected from any source.
The exploitation of the company's s
resources will be taken in accordance
with plans formulated by Manager
Gray, when it was necessary to sus-
pend operations last August through
the breaking out of war in Europe.

OF PROSPERITY

Pacific is making arrangements to
handle the exposition tourists who
are taking first look at this state
and finding out things they never
knew of its splendid resources and
alluring prospects for development.
Mr.. Wilson in his travels over the
state has opportunity to see what is
being done in the mining industry to
supply the demand for copper, silver,
gold and lead, all of which metals
are here in never-ending abundance.
Aside from mining the live stock and
agricultural possibilities are also be-
coming an important factor in the
states productive growth and the in
creasing number of homesteaders
who are buying lands and settling on
claims is proof that Nevada is bound
to be recognized along lines that
heretofore have not been given parti-
cular attention. The lands are acces-
sible at easy terms and offer ideal
home inducements.
To the News, Mr. Wilson said: Il
am more than pleased with the cop
per district. Ely and vicinity seem
like old times, streets crowded, and
everyone with smile which is the
best indication of prosperity"

TRY WHERE HE OWNS MANI
MOTH RANCH Is GREAT PLACE

Tex Rickard, famed the world over
as the promoter of the Jeffries-John-
son fight, which was the greatest fin
aneial success, in the history of the
nitt game, vouehsafes the informa-
ton that Paraguay is a veritable
paradise. Accompanied by his wife
Mr.. Rickard arrived In Ely last

oession, Paraguay, where he owns a
ranch embracing five million acres
and $4,000 head of cattle. He is
spending several days in the Ely dis
trict looking after his realty and min
ing holdings.
The prominent fight impresario as
serts that Paraguay offers the great
est opportunities of any country In
the world for colonization enterprises.
lie says that only limited number OF
believes that thousands will be bound
Tor the southern cline, as soon as
they learn of their golden opportu-
mites that await them in that land of
promise.
Energy is not essential to success
IN that country as everything grows
in abundance. He says that the bulk
of the population is inclined to
-dormancy in that semi-tropical cline
but intimates that honesty seems to
be their predominating trait
Mr.. Rickard anticipates that he
will within few years divide his
vast agricultural holdings into small
tracts with the expectation of selling
persons interested IN taking up
farming land of merit He says he
was compelled to learn Spanish, as
II is the only language spoken in
Paraguay. Murders and thefts are
rare, according to Mr.. Rickard. He

better protected there than in the
United States.
The former Ely resident says that
considerable rain falls during the

RECEIPTS IN ELY POSTOFFICE
SHOW NOTICEABLE DECREASE

The receipts of the Ely postoffice
for the fiscal year ending next We'd
nesday will show a marked deprecia-
ton, according to Postmaster George
p. Armand. He estimats that the re-
eeipts will be more than $4,000, less
than for the previous period. AS a
result the salary of the postmaster
will be reduced from $21O0 TO $2.-
900.
During the last three months the
business has again become normal.
The parcel post business has IN
creased 500 per cent during the year.
Duckwater, Currant, Sunnyside and
the White River valley have been
largely responsible for the upward
strides in this department. Flour
from Nephi, Utah, is being conveyed
to merchants at Oseeola and Baker
through the parcel post. The gov
erment authorities carry the flour a
distance of 800 miles for 81 cents
sack. The same charge would be
made for freighting between Ely and
Osceola, only about one-sixth OF the
distance.
Petitions have been circulated ask
ing for a daily mail service between
Ely and Lund and Preston, the idea
having been prompted by the wonder
ful growth of the parcel post system
