MANY IMPROVEMENTS
CONTEMPLATED IN ELY

The meeting of the mayor and city
council next Saturday night. August
), promises to be one of the most i'm
portant ever held by that body since
the incorporation of the city Of Ely.
The interesting subject under con-
sideration is that of municipal bond
issue in the approximate sum of $780,
00e for tho paving of the main tho
roughfare its entire length within the
city limits; repairing the sidewalks,
curbs and cutters the full length of
Aultman street and the construction
of new sections where needed; the
construction of concrete sidewalks.
curbs and cutters on both sides of
Murry street; cutting down the Gen.
ter of Murry street where needed I,
Strengthening out and improving
Murry creek channel to carry off the
high waters from the canyon; and
the building of a sypass sewer in
Central Ely to likewise protect that
section of the city from damage by
floodwaters.
The paving of the main street,
which has been the dream of all pub
,lie-spirited citizens for several years.
seems now about to be realized, and
the estimated cost of this improve
ment alone is 100000. OF this sum,
however, 1t is hoped by prompt action
to procure federal aid in the sum of
$4,000, giving the city the benefit
of the vast improvement by the out
lay of one-fifth of its actual cost, or
approximately $4,000.
The cost of repair and reconstruc.
tion of the sidewalks, cutters and
curbs along Aultman street is esti-
mated by City Engineer Frank W.
Millard in the sum of s5,423.Se.
The outlay required on the part
of the city for the remainder 2f the
improvements on Murry street, along
Murry creek and the bypass sewer is
further estimated ly the city engi-
neer at S14,950.
This makes a total estimated cost
to the city of $44,373.S0.

city council held last Wednesday

LONDON, Feb. 24.-FoX trotting has offended the sensitive soul of MT. Pat Brett, Sim Fein County Council of Mullinger.
 Apparently the colleens of Mullln- ger thought that programme con- posed entirelp of Irish-strictly na- tional-jigs might be as tiresome as one limited to hornpipes or Scottish reels. Hence the syncopations which smote the patriotic ear.
 It was at meeting of the coun- ella meeting on such subject is truly Irish-that MT. Brett thun- dered his denunciation of this English adomination," as he termed it. No true Irishman, he declared would trot to the tune of the insid- ious propaganda.

FUTURE OF KANTISHNA MINING
 DISTRICT IS VERY PROMISING

interested in the mineral deposits and from this trip the Mckinley Gold Pla- cers later was formed, as MT. and Mrs. Van Orsdal wtnt to the states three years ago and got capital in terested, secured funds for operation and are entitled to full credit of plac- ing the first plant in the Kantishna.
 As manager of this company we see the Flushing William Taylor. Mir. Taylor was the first man to ascend Mt Mckinley. He was a member of the Lloyd party of which only two members ever sealed beyond the eleven thousand feet level. Taylor and Pete Anderson, and if we dis credit the report of Dr. Cook, we must give the honor to these men as the very first to ascend the peak of North American fame. Later Archdeacon Stuck, with a small party made the ascent, and stated that they saw the cairn of Taylor and Anderson.
 Joe Quigley has opened one of the richest quartz mines of the Northern age on the side hill, facing Moose creek, the ore running as high as five hundred ounces in silver, but Joe is not enthused as he has made his stake and can afford to wait the pleas ure of the world. It was one of his claims that Thos Aiken leased some years ago and abandoned last year, leaving approximately over million dollars worth of low grade ore on the dump, which will be concentrated some time and realized on Aiken is reported to have cleared three hun dred thousand dollars on the deal.
 Joe Dalton also made his stake in this country having been the success full miner of Eureka creek. He cleaned up a fortune the first year. He is now engaged in quartz prospecting and has several valuable claims, but like all others he must await the pleas ure of our governments in road con- struction.
 pr. Alfred Brooks made a visit to Ithe Kantishna and spent some time at Copper mountain, and was very much enthused over the prospects, stating that he had never seen anything like it before and if the efforts of the old timers of that country who have staked their all; life, health and wealth-are to be rewarded, it is be- licved that the doctors efforts will assist them and Secretary Fall having shown such interest in Alaskan af- fairs perhaps some time this mineral ized Eden will come into it's own.
