PREDICTS BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR NEVADA INDUSTRIES

Alex Baird. deputy mining inspec.
tor, who has been spending some
time on an inspection tour OF the
mining camps of the state, returned
to Ely during the week.
He declares that the state never
looked as well. Hundreds of new
mining prospects are being opened
up and some of them undoubtedly
VIII make mines. The general pros
peeting throughout the state he be-
lieves will result in more real
mines being worked in the next few
years than any time In the mining
history of the state.
One Item OF interest that he has
noted on his travels is the way the
returned soldiers and sailors are fit
ting back into positions. In nearly
every section where mining has been
carried on and the boys left for the
front. they have upon their return
taken up the work at the point where
they left off and evidently without
much thought OF the adventures and
tragedies that have passed in the
year or more away from home and
home work.
Labor throughout the state, he
contends, is in excellent shape. Men
are in demand In all sections and
good wages are being paid. Idle men
are a shy proposition. and be-
tween the demand for laborers in
the agricultural pursuits and the
mining and milling. he sees no ex-
cuse for idleness anywhere in the
state.
Mr.. Baird has taken a chance In
many of the mining booms In this
state. aud while he has not made a
fortune at his ventures. he still has
faith In mining "a the big game to
follow. 1t is such men who keep
the game going in Navada and his
predictions for the future are worth
consideration

ELYS OBSERVANCE
OF NATIONS HOLIDAY

The Fourth OF July celebration in
Ely featured the veterans OF the
great war in a parade that pleased
the citizens and gave them an idea
of the force of fighting men the
United States sent 10 Europe to make
the world safe to live in. The sight
of the veterans marching up the
street was one that stirred a deep
feeling in the hearts of young and
old alike.
The lowering of the flag at retreat
In the evening was an impressive
sight that demonstrated to the or
binary civilian the reverence with
which the flag Is held by the men
in uniform.
Everything planned in the big
work OF feeding the boys was car
rled out to the letter and the bar
becued meat with other tasty food
furnished by the ladies was thorough
ly enjoyed by the veterans.
The enlisted men handed their
compliments to the officers at the
conclusion Of the dinner by assign
ing all commissioned men to X. r..
hut as this work meant helping the
ladies', the officers did not seem
loath to comply with the order.
The most interesting incident OF
the day was the war museum con-
Quoted by the Woman's club at the
Northern hotel The exhibit was dis
played in what was formerly the
Northern bar, and was varied and
comprehensive. II consisted mainly
of relics and souvenirs brought home
by the boys from overseas, and every
particular item had its own peculiar
interest The variety of the display
was astonishing, showing as 1t did
some of the means and methods OF
modern warfare, such as soldiers
kits, ammunition, weapons, photo
graphs. gas masks, helmets, and SOU
venirs of all kinds In great number,
including the handiwork of soldiers
done while receiving treatment for
wounds and sickness In hospitals.
The museum was we'll patronized and
the visitors fingered long before the
cabinets containing the silent but
rorceful reminders of the Great wal
in which 80 many OF the Ely boys
had done their part. 1t was q
