night and the plans will be proceeded
with.

Happily, however, the grandstand

This is Miss Stroups second county

Miss Stroup has been with Mr..

BENEFIT GAME FOR
SHORTSTOP CURTIS

Arrangements are under way for G
baseball game in Ely which promises
to surpass all exhibitions of the ma
tional game in this district.
Interest in the game is evident on
all sdes and this is attributed to the
fact that, aside from the prospect of
an opportunity to witness an excel
lent game, the proceeds will be used
for the benefit of Curtis, the star
shortstop of the Ely team who is now
in Salt Lake, where he went to under
go surgical treatment for the severe
break in his arm which he suffered
last Sunday in the first inning of the
game between Ely and Ruth. Curtis
made slide for third and in so doing
fractured his arm at the elbow. The
injury was of such a serious nature
that II was deemed advisable to send
him to Salt Lake for special treat
ment.
The present plans are to stage
game at the earliest date that can be
satisfactorily arranged for between
picked players from the three teams
in the district league.
Such a game was played in Ely
some time ago and will be long re-
doubtedly the largest ever gathered
at a game in this district and the
spectators were delighted with the
exhibition given them.
Curtis is not only one of the fast
est players In the district but is one
of the cleanest that ever appeared
on a diamond.
II is the custom throughout the
country to stage benefit games under
the conditions surrounding the Cur
tis case and the Ely district is not
lacking in true sportsmen who can
be depended upon to do their share
on such occasions.
The final arrangements may be
made today when the baseball men
meet before the game between Ely
and McGill is called. 1t seems safe
to assume that someone will take the
lead and that is all that is necessary,
because of the success of the under
taking would then be assured.

ASSETS
SOLD TO NEW COMPANY

The legal transfer OF the entire
property of the Consolidated Copper

Wednesday. The suit recently insti-
tuted in the district court for the
purpose of procuring legal transfer
Of the property, in accordance with
the plans worked out by the reorgan-
ization committee, which have here
tofore been published in detail, has
been completely disposed of.
Acting under an order entered by

OF the mortgage on which the suit
was brought, bid the property in for
$2.000,000.
There were no other bidders in Ely
and the sale was later confirmed in
the district court. which finally closed
the transaction.
The new company, the Consolidat-
ed Coppermines Corporation, has al
ready started further development
work on the vast area of valuable
mining ground owned by the corpo-
ration. With all debts paid the new
corporation has the tidy sum of ST.
100000 In cash with which to carry
out the work necessary to put the
property on a paying basis.
Robert Marsh Jr, Is now in charge
OF the property and. as told in the
last issue OF the News. the work OF
delineating and further developing
tho orebodies will be carried on as
rapidly as possible consistent with
good business management and SCI
entific mining operation.
1t is conservatively estimated that
ESQ men will soon be employed at
and around Kimberly, where not only
the rich contact ore in the Minnesota
claim will be further developed but
the entire area owned by the Consol-
idated Coppermines Corporation will
be given attention.

until Friday morning. when he de-
parted to continue his tour of the
state in the interest of his candidacy
for the Office of attorney general.
Mr.. Diskin's visit this week was
simply to meet old friends and make
new ones. He has the happy faculty
of making friends and 1t is said to his
credit, "Once Jack Diskin's friend,
always his friend"
He is one of the most able lawyers
of the state and his experience and
training especially equip him for the
high Office to which he aspires. lie
has successfully practiced law in Me-
vada for fifteen years. From Janu-
ary, 1913, to January, 1917. he was
district attorney of Esmeralda county,

field for the practice of his profession
and moved to Reno, where he now re-
sides and enjoys a large clientele. He
was assistant United States district
attorney under William Woodburn,
who retired from that Office o few
months ago.
Jack Diskin, as he Is familiarly
known, is recognized as one of the
most able and conscientious lawyers
in Nevada. He will return to this
district later, when the people will
have opportunity to not only meet
him but hear him from public plat
form, and with those who study him
from all angles he cannot fail TO win
favor.

BOSTON AND ELY NINE
SHIPS ORE TO M'C|LL

Five cars of direct smelling ore
from the property of the Boston and
Ely Consolidated Mining Company
went to the cmelter at McGill Friday
night and the Ely district now has
one more great producer added to
Its list.
The five cars averaged approx
mately fifty tons each, making a total
of $50 tons, and like shipment will
go TO the smelter tomorrow.
An orebin with a capacity of 150
tons Is now in course OF construction
and is expected to be completed with
in two weeks This will be used I'd
handle the ore blocked out in the
mine when II is brought to the mouth
of tho tunnel. where the bin is being
constructed and which is reached by
a sidetrack.
When the $500 tons now on the
dump have been conveyed to the
smelter the work of taking out the
ore blocked out in the mine, consist
ing of about 25, 900 tons, will be ham
died directly into the bin and on the
cars. This will obviate the necessity
of extra handling and will naturally
increase the net profits.
The ore on the dump and blocked
out in the mine is of the direct
smelling grade and is estimated to
average about per cent copper On
14-cent market for the metal tho
total gross value of the ore in sight
figures somewhat over a half-million
dollars
The ore from the mine will be
taken out at the rate of about fifty
tons per day and shipped In ten-car
lots. This will keep the mine run
ming for period of something over a
year. Competest mining men who
have visited the property freely ex-
press the belief that with the taking
out of the ore now In sight much
larger bodies of high-grade ore will
be developed, which will make the
Boston and Ely one of the most i'm
portant producers in the mining in
dustry
