EARLY MORNING FIRE DOES
$500 DAMAGE IN SPARKS

Fire broke out in the j. p. Bern-
hart saloon a few minutes before
200 O'Clock this morning and be
fore the work of the flames had
been completed the entire building
had been destroyed.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. Many attribute the start of
the flames to a defective flue.
A delay in the turning in of the
alarm allowed the flames to get a
big Roadway before the fire de-
partment got water on the building.
The Bernhart saloon was burned
to the ground and the building and
contents are a total loss. The safe
in the front part of the building is
still hot and it will be several hours
before it can be opened and the
contents examined.
The building belong to E. j.
Campbell of Truckee and has been
occupied as a saloon for many
years.
The loss is estimated to be be-
tween $4,000 and S3.5O0.-Sparks

CLUB IS

The Goldfield Unity club closed
On Sunday night, as far as is known
at the present time, permanently.
There is some talk of the club
securing new and smaller quarters,
but nothing definite is known Of
this plan at the present time and
nothing will be done toward re-
opening the club until the return Of
General Manager Hutchinson of the
Consolidated Mines company to Gold
field, when it will be determined
what financial aid the company is
willing to lend to the club.
Some time ago the trustees an
nOunced that the club would close
on Jan. l unless it could secure
rev members and better financial
support from those who were al
ready members. OF late the mem
hership has dropped to less than 200
and the closing was the result of
lack of interest resulting in poor
financial support.
The Unity club has been in eXis-
tence less than three years or since
Feb. 1, 1914. The officers expect
to issue a statement of its affairs
in a short time.

The present high levels for cop

portion of sales ahead by the Utah
Copper company had been made at
figures ranging from 25 to ~
cents.
Col. Jackling said that aside
from the recent augmentation OF
capacity at the Utah Copper com
pany, the Chino was raising it's ca
pacity to approximately 12,500
tons of ore daily and would be
ready to handle that amount of ore

greater saving of values to be effect

speaking, business conditions in

EUREKA DISTRICT MORE ACTIVE
With BOOST in METAL PRICES

property in California gulch has
been somewhat retarded this week
on account of several of his shaft
men being unable t. work through
illness caused by attacks of Ia
grippe. The shaft is now down

Ben Repetto, one of the owners
of the Distinction mine in California
gulch, says this mine is not for
sale now at any such figures as it
has previously been offered for.
With silver at 76 cents and lead
at SS he believes he and his two
partners can make good money Of
the property themselves. A house
to shelter several men is now being
erected at the mine and it is plan
ned to work a small force of men
during the winter.
Albert Matson is now engaged in
hauling ore to the local railway de
pot from Hamilton with his two
teams-a six and an eight. The ore
is from the Bamberger's Ne Plus

the ore. While there is about a
foot of snow in and around Hamil-
ton. he states the road from the

GEOOES TO OPEN
ELY CONS. MINE
WORK ON COPPER PROPERTY
WILL BE ON \ BROAD
SCALE

C. w. Geddes, consulting engin-
eer, accompanied by Frank Shirar,
who was formerly connected With
the Ely Consolidated, which owns
400 acres of patented ground ad-
il. the district a few days ago and
with VIM. Campbell, who has been
engaged as mine superintendent,
are now busy laying out work which
will be prosecuted on the property
backed by the strong financial in
~terests which have recently gained
control.
Mr.. Geddes after looking over
the property, expressed himself as
we'll pleased with it and is of the
opinion that it will 500 be found
in the list of consistent rich pro-
ducers.
Under Superintendent CampetiS
direction men are now at work re-
pairing the hosting machinery. on
the Zack shaft. Following this,
attention will be given to the Bril-
liant and American shafts and Mr..
Geddes will then lay out the work
on the lower levels.
According to present plans, the
ole will be shipped to the Calavaras
Copper company's plant at Balakla-
va, California, where excellent re-
suits have been obtained by the flo
tation process. 1t is believed that
the ores of the Ely Consolidated
will be found to work to good ad-
vantage by the flotation process, in
which event, no doubt, arrangements
will soon be made for the erection
of a plant at the mines here, where
plenty of water is available in
shafts. The water in these shafts
has in the past been a drawback.
but under the new management II
is believed such water can be turn
ed into a valuable asset.
There has been some 1000 feet
of development work done on the
property and much ore exposed in
the workings. 1t is earnestly hop
ee hat another producer is soon
to be added to the list in this dis
+ ct.-White Pine News.
