ber of game birds in White Pine

!. N. c. A. HAS
BRANCH IN ELY
PROMINENT CITIZENS ARE AP-
POINTED To RAISE $4,000 IN
COUNTY FOR BENEFIT OF MEN
IN TRAINING CAMPS

A county branch of the Young
Mems Christian Association was or
ganized In Ely last Monday by Fred
erick r. Pargeilis. secretary OF that
Institution at Reno.
The general supervision of raising
the $4,000 allotted to White Pine
county out of the $4,000 assigned
to the entire state In the war work
campaign has been placed In the
hands of a committee consisting OF
Arthur Smith, chairman; ]. w. Big
game. secretary; C. v. Jenkins, w. B.
Graham, w. N. McGill and c. s.
Chandler.
The committee will organize In
the near future and appoint sub-com-
mittees to handle the work in the va
rious sections OF the county, preparar
tory to the drive which will take
place probably during the week Of
November 18th to 18th.
1t is estimated that to carry on
the work at the camps in this coun-
try and abroad approximately $500
per man enlisted will be necessary.
White Pine will have 800 men In the
ranks and therefore its minimum
must be $4,000.
Mr.. Pargellis says that the Y. M.
C. A. in both the army and navy Is
compelled to extend its sphere of In
flnence among the soldiers in Rus
sia, France and Italy, In addition to
continuing its work among the SOL
diers In this country.
"One of the aims Of the organiza-
ton that represent Is the making Of
better morale among enlisted msn
and stronger army" said Mr.. Par
CELLS, during his brief stay In this
district. We must raise $4,000, 900
between November 11th and 18th.
Soldiers in the European war sona,
and In training camps. have been
deeply appreciative for the recrsa-
tions and entertainments provided
through our organization. They de-
clare 1t Is the only place where thsg
can find recreation after their daily
toll Is over.
"I doubt II the public has any idea
of the wonderful work that is being
accomplished in both the army ana

the men with practically the only
comforts they have"

H. r. Amens and r. B. Hildebrand
returned Thursday from a trip to
Gold Hill and other points In Utah,
made in the formers car. Mr.. Amens
commented on the queer feeling
which naturally creeps over Ne
vadan when finding himself for the
first time In what has until recently
been practically unknown real
mining camp that Is absolutely dry.
He states that notwithstanding this
the camp is showing great prosperity
and seems to have a good future.
While there he met L. G. Swallen-

Hill Standard, weekly newspaper,
bristling with live news of most OPP

COAL SHORTAGE
is THREATEN
NEVADA NORTHERN GETS SUF-
FICIENT FUEL FOR IMMEDIATE
USE, BUT HAS NO ASSURANCE
OF GETTING MUCH AHEAD.

A threatened shortage of coal In
the Ely district during the week has
been a source of constant worriment
to the Nevada Northern, Nevada Con-
solidated and other large consumers
in the Ely district.
The Nevada Northern had on hand
only SO tons of coal last Friday
morning, and as the daily consump-
tion amounts to 130 tons to operate
the road, the situation looked quite
serious. However. enough coal was
secured during the day to relieve i'm
mediate wants and continue the
operation of trains. The supply on
hand at present Is sufficient to oper-
ate trains for two days. The man.
agement Is making a desperate effort
to get either Utah or Wyoming coal
for temporary needs. but lack OF
transportation facilities makes 1t diff
ficult to avert a famine.
In order to facilitate matters, the
Nevada Northern has allotted thirty
five of its ore cars TO this service, and
has made the cars two feet higher
on each side, thus Transforming them
into coal cars with a capacity OF forty
tons of coal each. These have been
dispatched to the mines in Utah and
accompanied by messengers to pre-
vent confiscation by other companies.
They are loaded direct from mines
and returned to East Ely without de-
lay. 1t takes about ten days TO make
the round trip. however. thus only
supplying temporary needs.
General Manager Cannon stated
yesterday afternoon that he Is hav'
ing twenty-five more ore cars con
verted into coal cars. which viii
make q total of sixty.
Manager Arthur Smith of the FL,
Light and Power company is moi
worrying over the situation much. as
he is well supplied with fuel and car
assure his patrons light during the
winter months. Mr.. Smith stated
yesterday that he had several months
supply at the plant. but in order be
beyond the danger limit. has tele.
graphed for three additional cars
which will meet every possible
emergency and run the plant until
next summer.
The Smelter and mines have a
reasonable supply on hand but are
taking on all they can get to increase
their stock.
The situation SO far as the general
public is concerned is not at all Sc
rious, the local dealers having plenty
Of coal on hand hand and en- route
to supply all their customers.
