OLO RESIDENT OF M'G|lL

Eli Anderson, one of the Oldest
men in the employ of the Nevada
Consolidated Copper Company at Me-
Gill, died at his home there last FRI
day night following an attack OF
pneumonia, with which he was strick-
en- a week ago.
The deceased was a native of Swe-
den, where he was born forty-five
years ago, and when but a mere child
came TO Helena, Mont, with his par
ents and one older brother, Albert
Anderson, who now resides in Cen
tral Ely. He attended the public
schools of Helena and chose as his
vocation in life the mining and smelt-
ing of ores. While young man he
went to Utah. where he engaged in
that line and there married, later
coming to Nevada, where he took up
his residence in McGill about four
teen years ago and has since been
steadily engaged as shift boss in
the conyerters.
The deceased was a man of excel
lent character and was universally
liked by all with whom he came in
contact. His death. following an i'll
ness OF such short duration, came as
a shock to the entire community.
He is survived by his wife and two
daughters. Ellen, aged Is, junior
in the White Pine county high school,
and Edle, aged 13; his aged mother,
now in Sweden, having returned TO
her native land following the death
of his father, which occurred in Hell
ena about four years age; three SIS
ters and two brothers. These are
Mrs. John Palmer, Mrs. George Doll,
Mrs. Ed Walker and Ernest Ander-
son, all residing in Helena, and AL
bert Anderson. residing in Central

Fraternally the deceased was
member OF the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks and the Fra

Arrangements for the funeral have
no. yet been completed but according
TO present plans the services will be
under the auspices of the Elks and

PROPERTY
TO COMMENCE SHIPPING

That the Ely-Calumet Mining Com
pany will probably enter the shippers
class within the coming month Is en-
couragfrg news and Is in line with
the feeling of new life in this DIS
trict which has accompanied the
awakening of the mining district from
the RIP Van Wrinkle" during the
last week.
That vast wealth in the form of
gigantic bodies of ore underlies the
surface holdings of the Ely-Calumet
has been matter OF common knowl-
edge for a considerable period of
time, and ii has likewise been known
that an immense tonnage of ore was
blocked out ready for shipment as
soon as market and smelter condi-
tions would permit.
J. NJ Hayden, one of the most
heavily interested in the property, ar
rived in Ely with his bride during the
week and has procured lease on
the Hoffman home. situated on Can
yon street. In Ely, where they will re-
side for an extended period He is
now deyoting his sole attention to
the property and is in daily consulta-
ton with Manager AL Myers, whose
fame as mining man is worldwide
and whose astounding furd OF energy,
coupled with his supreme knowledge
of the mining game, has done so
much to open up the rich orebodies.
While enroute to Ely Mr. Hayden
stopped in Salt Lake and visited the
plant OF the Utah Zinc Company,
which at cost OF approximately a
quarter of million dollars has been
completed at MURRAY, Utah. This
company, Mr.. Hayden said, has about
1.10e tons OF ore ready for treatment
and of a grade with which the ore
from the Calumet will mix to great
advantage. The new plant has a ca
pacity of about fifty tons per day
Under present conditions Ii is hoped
to consume about ten tons per day,
or two cars per week. from the Ely
Calumet until the ore on hand at
Murray has been worked up. and the
new plant will then take from this
market what 1t can handle up to ca
pacity, which is estimated at perhaps
car per day.
BY the entry Of this big property in
the list of shippers Ely again stands
out before the mining world, and be-
cause of its close proximity, lying as
1t does within a stones throw of the
main business thoroughfare of the
city. men OF mining experience recall
how the city of Butte sprang to the
front and gigantic buildings were con-
structed where through workings
many feet below their foundations
the precious metals were extracted
and thereupon great fortunes built.
The metal market now seems about
ready and by active as well as con-
servative management the Calumet
beat the gun" getting off in front.
where IL Is d ,ubtless destined to hole
a conspicuous position for many
years

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED
RESUMES OPERATIONS

The immediate resumption OF oper.
alton in all departments Of the Ne.
vada Consolidated Copper Company
was the encouraging news which was
spreai over this district during the
week
The mining of ore at Ruth was
discontinued April /, 1921, be-
cause of the unsatisfactory condition
of the metal market at that time and
during the last thirteen months the
inactivity of the large mining and
smelling plants, where formerly large
forces of men were employed. has
been keenly felt. While rumors have
been afloat from time to time that
operations were about to be resumed
no doubt in most cases the wish was
father to the thought and nothing
came from any official source until
last Wednesday. when six ball mills
with a total capacity of $500 tons OF
ore daily were set in operation at
McGill.
During the coming week the opera
ton of two steam shovels at Ruth
will begin and one reyerbatory will be
fred up at MeGill. This reverbatory
Is 81 by 1874 feet, inside measure
ments. and will consume about 80
tons of coal daily. From this reverb
atory the hot gases will be conducted
10 four boilers of 400 horsepower ca
pacity each. which will supply the
steam for the plant. The return in
steam will be equivalent to one-third
Of the coal consumed in the reverba-
tory, or fifty tons per day under the
boilers.
During the shutdown another re-
yerbatory of the same size has been
completed and is ready to be set in
operation as soon as conditions war
rant it. but as to this time there has
been no definite announcement made.
There is now at the smelter some
what over 10000 tons OF high-grade
ore which was taken from the Ruth
mine and shipped to. McGill during
the shutdown.
In the Ruth mine and the pit about
go men are now at work. The force
IN the underground workings of the
mine is not complete and about Toe
miners can now obtain immediate
employment there.
At McGill the force is estimated
at 500 and 1t is understood that no
material increase will be made there
for the next sixty days. as the men
who have recently been engaged In
construction work will now he EN-
ployeG In the operation.
Since the shutdown and as was
announced at the time every consid-
Grafton has been shown to men with
/, families and dependents. While many
twho left the district in search of en-
ployment elsewhere are anxious 10
return 1t is thought advisable for
them to first communicate with some
one In authority and ascertain wheth-
er they will be able to procure en-
ployment in their particular line.
