Licenses of Two Thirst Parlors
in Old Camp Are Not Revoked
DIFFERENTIATION INTRODUCE TANGLED STEPS sTAD
COMMUNITY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUTBREAKS.
SALOONS ARE NOT

Threats to administer the last rites
to two saloons at Cherry Creek did
not prosper last Tuesday. Getting
into the thick of thighs last Tuesday
the commissioners found that the wild
hilarious times. the quarrels and mis-
understandings that have made the
once famous camp subject for gos-
sip was due to the fact that a delic-
ious form of insanity known as rag
ging was the barrier that separated
the TWO factions, and tended to keep
up a perpetual sort of warfare.
The befuddled situation imme-
diately took on a most serious aspect.
Complaints had been made to the
board that two saloons were causing
trouble, and attempts 10 revoke the
licenses were prompted by reports of
this nature. During the course of
the investigation It was brought out

The tendency on the part of the
commissioner to reduce the expenses
of conducting the county government
was manifested last Tuesday. the first

TAYLOR PLANS
TO BECOME
ACTIVE
WILLIAM MILES SAYS TONOPAH
COMPANY Is ANXIOUS TO GAIN
POSSESSION OF MINES WHICH
HAVE LONG BEEN INACTIVE.

Taylor does not present picture
of blighted hope. Although no
wheels are stirring and but few hu-
man beings are abroad in that once
prosperous camp. that thirty-five
years ago added millions to the
worlds wealth, the atmosphere has
been enhanced and frightened by
frills. The optimistic feeling is due
to the fact that the Tonopah Mining
company is still looking with envious
eyes on the holdings of the Argus
Mines company, according to billie
Miles. who had been leading a life
of ease and solitude in that locality
for several months.
An effort was made to revive the
old camp thre years ago, when the
Tonopah company made a detailed
examination of the old silver mines
J. +. Spur. a noted geologist and
corps of trained experts spent several
eral months at Taylor to determine
whether the character and extent o.
ore deposits would warrant the insti-
tuition of development work on an
extensive scale so that it might
again become a producer of the white
metal after years of inactivity.
! During the last three years the cor
poration that recently entered into
negotiations for contral of the mines
abandoned years ago at Taylor has
taken several suitable propositions
in Colorado and Nicaragua the de
sire being to perpetuate the parent
company.
/ You can never tell when a mining
camp will cease to be lovely anc

precedent by attaining unusual promi-
nence without any attempt to breai

PIONEER OPERATOR DOES NOT
FORGET FRIEND IN SELECTING
SUITABLE TITLE FOR COUNTY'S
GEOGRAPHICAL CENTER.

Death claimed one of the original
owners of the Ely townsite. and the
man who gave the world renowned
copper camp its name. when A. j. Un-
derhll died last Tuesday at Canton,
Ohio. The final sumons came peace
fully to the old pioneer, who was
among the first to recognize that Ely
would eventually attain world wide
prominence in the mining world, only
eighteen days after the death of his
wife.
Since the departure of the Under
hill family from Ely twenty-five years
ago, death has wrought its depreda-
tions in its ranks, two of his wives
having passed to the great beyond
The deceased was Ga years old and it
is estimated that he left fortune es-
timated at $500, 900.
The name of Underhill is closely
/ linked with the early development of
the Ely district. When the courthouse
was still at Hamilton, Mr.. Underhill
looked with enyious eyes on the tract
of land at the mouth of Robinson can
Won, and associated with him in the
venture A. D. Campton and W.
G Lyons, now deceased.
Old time residents admit that nu-
! merous stories have been circulated
as TO the source from which Ely re-
ceived its name They venture the
information that John II. Ely, one of
the adventurous spirits in the halcyon
days of the sagebrush state. who was
interested in the Raymond and Ely
mine at Phoebe, which produced $20,-
900, 900 loaned Underhill So 900 and
in recognition of the favor extended
him in time of need. it Is claimed that
Underhill decided to honor his bene-
factor by christening the new seat
of the county government Ely
Mr.. Underhill was born in Ohio in
1851. He was attracted to Nevada
by the report of the discovery of sill
yer ores of remarkable richness, To-
eating at what is known as Lane City,
during the first excitement in Robin
son canyon. With the decline of
many of the old time camps through
the downward trend in the price of
silver, Mr.. Underhill moved to Taylor
when that section was in the throes of
a full fedged boom He was superin-
tendent of the Argus company during
the brief period of its productivity.
AS that district passed into the dis
card. he removed to Ely He enjoyed
the distinction of being one of the
original loeators of the Chairman
mine, being associated with W. N
McGill, w. G. Lyons and James P.
McOmie in that venture. when 1t was
the general ooncensus of opinion thar
Ely would eventually gain niche in
the hall of fame as producer of the
precious metals.
After devoting his energies several
years to the exploiting of the merits
of the gold belt. Mr. Underhill re-
moved to Canton, Ohio. in 1890. With
the sale of the Chairman group to
New York capitalists in 1901 for a
cash consideration of $15O.000 Mr.
Underhill was amply rewarded in a
financial way for his years of effort
in this locality. He is survived by a
sou. Harry. who is 80 years old.
