of progress at McGlll are more no
1iceable this year than in several
previous ones.
In a business way Il of the I'M
portant additions is tie opening Of
the pallas or McGill candy kitchen,
which is an elaborate affair. 1t has
a nice front and the interior Is en-
bellished by various works of art for
ornamentation c~ontributive to COM
fort as we'll as beauty. On II side
is a marble and white enamel soda
fountain and outfit, new, clean n
handsome. On the other is the
candy display of a most tempting
character. At the rear are the tables
and booths at the sides, with COM
Portable seats for all and a cool place
for the hot July md August DAYS to
come.
The C%ononelos store is another of
the enterprises thai il Il positive
business brinser for McGill. this be-
ing due in the first place to he ag-
~gressiye policy of its owner in ad-
yertising through the White PINE
News, which has proved like bread
rast upon the waters minus the many
days' clause. Mr.. Cononelos is soon
10 open a large furniture store n the
smelter city, with a complete stock
of lust the kind of goods that will
attract trade from all of eastern Ne
yada. drawing largely from Ely and
other towns at this end of the dis

The Palace market, owned by Ton!
Kopas, will o. about July 10 q

eurean and the Palace management
has ever known that with lightning
intuition.
Fred d. West was perhaps the
first this year to show his faith in
the future of the busy smelter city
by charging his garage. In fact,
before he took charge of it it was
a mere gasoline agency and service
station, but he has built a reai
garage there and handles any work
that is offered in the repair line and
not only does it right but maintains
Il policy of dealing with patrons on
The theory that he will meet them
again sometime and many times. His
huge awning in front, protecting cars
and their passengers from 1nclem-
ent weather and the hot sun when
they stop for gasoline, is the only
one o. its kind in the district.
a new bakery building of cement
blocks is being erected on the west
side of Main street by Harry Kirko-
poulos and a number of associates,
which will give McGill two bakeries.
The j. c. Penney Company store,
under the management of ]. T. Lich-
lyter. is another main attraction
drawing trade to McGill. 1t is run
III conjunction with the Ely Penney
store. on the same aggressive lines
and does a fine business.
Max Herman has recently pur-
chased the store building which h
is now occupying and has given II
Two new coats of paint.
As usual the McGill Club is the
busy place of McGiil. both day and

after by his partners, Messrs. Draper
and Murphy,
The Nevada Consolidated Company
is erecting forty new bungalows O
the ive-room class and has been un
able for several weeks to supply
houses as fast as it has had appli
eants for them. 1t manages to fine
places for new employees to live IL
as they come though several of thes'
have come to Ely and others to Step
zoe City for houses.
A large number of the smaller
houses in tie foreign sections of Nc
Gill are being rebuilt and repaired
many of them having been occupied
IN recent months.
Right and left bleachers have beer
added at the ball park at the soutl
side cf town, the seating capacity O.
the grandstand not being ample TO
the crowds that the games have beer

The copper company has regarded
several of the streets of McGill anc
