The man with money to invest in
real estate can nnd no better place
to pul it than in the ground of this
district. Our prospects are excelled
nowhere.
The suggested motto of ‘Make
Haste Slowly” for the council cham
ber might be fittingly supplemented
with “Let the Grass Grow.” One goes
with the other, and both are work
ing bully.
And from the action of the big cat
tlemen dominating the oenver as
semblage yesterday, upholding the
Pinchot policies and declaring for
land grabbing, it looks much as if the
friends of the late forester had in
over aealous concern let some cat
out of the bag.
The state assessors very properly
turned down, according to report, a
Job of the telegraph and telephone
companies of the state to have a uni
form low rate adopted for all over
the state. Thus the telephone and
telegraph companies in the towns
would have paid the minimum tax
Justly put on the wire mileage of
the telegraph and telephone com
panies in the deserts, and the as
sessors been cut out of opportunity
to make the companies pay the max
imum for the maximum business and
the minimum expenses of conduct in
cities and towns. The assessors saw
through the job and the majority
had the nerve and honesty to turn
it down
Not in a half decade has .a
opened with the business outlook so
generally auspicious as the year
1910. says Dun's. In January. 1907
there was a tremendous volume of
transactions, but already the clouds
of impending disaster could be seen
on the horiion. In January. 1908.
the crash had arrived, and the busi
ness world was counting the heavy
losses In January, 1909. confidence
nad been in part repaired, but the1
progress toward recovery was very
slow. But in January 1910, the vol
ume of transactions is as large as in
1907. with confidence supreme, and
bo impending disasters casting their
shadows before. Some of the per
plexing issues which contributed to
the crisis of 1907 still remain un
solved. while the question of high
prices has become more acute, but |
It would seem as if business confi
dence were not going to permit these
things to interfere with the further
progress of industry and commerce.!
On absolute merit of resources.:
this camp is assured of a population
of from 3#.000 to 50.006 people
There is no guess work about the
smaller figure. No less population
can handle the work that we will j
have to turn out within the next Are,
yean. The chances are altogether
favorable tor the higher number
within thnt time, Tou will hare
hard work finding anotner locality
in the country able to show you as
•ra and sure a foundation for large
growth in permanent population.'
which will be here and be busy every
day for a longer period than any of
us on the ground today will live to
see the end of. Nor will there be
found anywhere in the country a
more liberal plan for the benefit of
those who wish to invest and build
up with the district than is that af
forded by the Ely Securities Co.,
which puts property within the reach
of every man in the camp It fits
au purses. None are so smalt that
they cannot take advantage, and you
will make a realty or a house invest
ment that rests on the rock of devel
oped resources, the only absolutely
sound and safe foundation for in

McGill. Nevada. 1909.
The popular manager of the Am
erican Trading hotel is no longer
among the population of McGill. HU
innumerable friends will no more
hear his genial, good natured,
"Howdy Men and ' Good Morning
i-adies."
Things were always getting better
every minute with old Harp Never
a word of protest, a howl of discen
sion. or railing at fate. Invariably
a boost for every thing and every
body in the great Ely district. In
fact he was a man we don't meet
every day.
Regarding his future intentions
nothing definite can be learned: the
supposition current among friends
who are supposed to know, is that he
will show Mrs Harper through the
city of Zion, and then return to as
sume the management of one of the
culinary establishments located be
tween here and the mine. Poesiblv -
the Vienna Cafe in Ely. It being an
understood fact hu ability as a
caterer is beyond dispute.
Should this supposition be correct,
we certainly *tsh him success, and
