NEW TOBOGGAM SLIDE
FOR THE YOUTH OF ELY

William Curto and Rufus Seifers
worked hard all day last Sunday max
ing a slide on the mountainside west
of Ely, the idea being to provide a
sliding place for the boys and girls
of Ely and vicinity the coming winter
1t is technically termed toboggan
slide. but as 1t has drop of about 60
degrees and is approximately 1900
feet long. anything from a toboggan
to a flexible fiier ar Jumper" made
from a barrel stave will probably
slide 10 the bottom at a mile-a-min-
ute clip. once the slide is packed with
snow and the slider starts from the
top. The bottom of the slide opens
upon the city ball park, which is con-
sidered will give the sliders ample
space to overcome gravity and bring
whatever they are coasting on to a
safe stop.
Ii was a strenuous days work and
Messrs. Curto and Seifers, who gave
their time to the project. are being
commended for their enterprise in
providing place for healthy, out
door winter sport. Mr.. Curto provid-
ed four horses which were used on
the scrapers and a number of boys
took hand N clearing away stones
and brush.
The slide is twelve feet wide and
Mr.. Settlers purposes when the work
Is completed and everything is ready
for use to have electric lights pro-
vided, so that the sport may be safely
carried on during the evening. II
the plan works out successfully prob
ably. the boys and girls will not be
the only ones 10 enjoy the fun, as
many OF the grownups have never
overcome their desire to slide down
hill when the opportunity presents.
There Is no better sport on a crisp
winter night. with O good snow path
and the moon at just the right de-
gree Of cold brilliancy Since the
automobile has crowded Dobbin of
the highways good old-fashioped
sleigh riding. with its robes and fin
gle and tingle, has become a lost art,
and Jingle bells. Jingle bells, jingle
all the way. no longer echoes
through the moon-lighted, snow-cov-
cred yistas Dobbin as a spark
plug has been succeeded by the car
buretor and the swift. evil-smelling
automobile is a soulless thing with
out sentiment. But sliding down hill
Is still a popular pastime and Ii is
fine to think that Ely is to have a
place upon which to go sliding. belly
bump or any old way.
Arthur Smith of East Ely has gen.
erousiy donated the use of the ball
park until such time as the tract Is
disposed of
Mr. Seifers also has another idea,
and that Is an outdoor skating rink
at one end OF the park. 1t is said this
project will require considerable
work and some money. and there will
probably be no difficulty in acquiring
the amount needed by public SUBJ
scription.
Anything to provide legitimate. red
blooded amusement for the boys and
girls is worthy of support, and If the
tohoggan slide and skating ring ma
terialize successfully it should be an
incentive to bring about long wished
for and talked about swimming pool
by another summer.

RECEIVES BAD INJURY

Ted Oxborrow of Lund was severe
ly injured yesterday afternoon as the
result of bis team running away at a
point on the west side of the divide,
where the highway leads down the
mountain from Murry summit. Mr..
Oxborrow was thrown from his wagon
and being alone at the time he re-
manned for some time in a helpless
condition, until he succeeded in at
tracing The attention of Mr.. Hen
Dirk, who was passing in his automo-
bile.
From the details OF the accident as
given out at the hospital it would ap-
pear that The team bolted from the
roadway. and that the injured man
was thrown out at some distance
from the Travelled road He succeed
cd in signaling help by pounding on
"A tin can.

MAIL SERVICE
WILL COMMENCE SOON

The nonarriyal OF the mail airplane
az the East Ely landing field Friday,
as had been announced as probable,
was disappointment to the popu-
lace. and particularly TO. the business
men. who had been led To believe that
the service was 10 be inaugurated and
thus facilitate the arrival and depart
IRE OF important mail As no word
was forthcoming the credulous be-
came more OF less incredulous and
all sorts OF rumors were afioat, one
OF which was that a colored gentle
man is secreted in the woodpile, ano
that politics are cumming up the
works and retarding the fight of the
Elko-Ely mailplane.
Yesterday Thomas +. Haley one
OF the citizens committee which
brought the mail service question to
Its present situation. sent telegram
OF inquiry to Senator Pittman, ask
ing why the mail service by airship
had not been started as promised
The reply to Mr.. Haley's telegram
was from Senator Pittman's secre-
tary, r. j. Trenwith. and was as fol-
lows:
Senator Pittman absent attending
tendent of air mail service informs
me that air mail service from Elko
to Ely will be commenced as soon as
investigation of landing field Is COM
pleted and schedules are arranged.
and that service will probably start
next week"
The explanation sounds reasonable
Cntil IL IS known definitely that some
little Joker is operating against the
airmail service the News leans to the
opinion that il is matter of expe-
diency, and that as soon as the de-
tails are completed the service will
start. Certain important formalities
are necessary in changing a mail ser
vice and a mail schedule. and the de-
tails are worked out at headquarters
and sent TO the postoffices affected
No such instructions have as yet been
generally issued.
AT present the mail in and out OF
the district is being handled in ac-
cordance with the schedule adopted
for the three times a week trips of
the Nevada Northrn mail train. and
until the schedule can be changed 10
conform with the amalgamated cir
plane service there Will be no change
With the mail coming by train part
of the time and by airplane part of
the time. and the plane mail in part
transferred to the railway for a por-
tion OF the local distribution after ar
rival at East Ely. the question re.
ouires working out. That is. the su-
perintendeuts of the departments will
inform the postoffices and carriers
how II is to be done. rather than hav-
ing the postoffices and carriers telling
the superintendent how they are do
ing 1t.
Since the question came up and II
was announced that the increased
service would begin within a week a
great many have wondered how II
could be brought about so quickly
and contrary to all precedents. And
1t has not been done.
But there seems reason to believe
that eventually II will be done. and
with all expediency possible. and that.
as the telegram says. when the
schedules are arranged" the service
will commence.

his brother Frank promoted the Sill
verhorn district. was in Ely during
the week and yesterday went to the

property with q view to its develop
ment on an extensive scale.
The Kolecheck holdings have indl-
Gated rich possibilities ~ gold-pro-
ducing mine. which metal at the pres
ent time Is considered an attractive
proposition owing TO the growing de-
mand for gold production. It Is said
that Frank Champion has gone to
New York on business matters, and
while nothing definite Is given out
as to their plans II Is possible the two
mining men may in the near future
begin operations that will bring the
Kolecheck workings into prominence
