Show PLEASED WITH ELT. Wonderful are the stories related of Ely and of the Nevada Consolidated mine by W. M. O'Brien, who returned to this city yesterday from a long visit to the district. O'Brien went through the Ruth stope, and on the 500-foot level encountered 1300 feet of solid ore, in places 275 feet wide. Everything about Nevadava Consolidated Consoli-dated is modern, said O'Brien. The j tunnels are eight by nine feet, and trol- lev cars are used for hauling ore instead l of regulation mine cars. ! " Elv-MeDonald," said he, "is con-I con-I sidered one of the biggest propositions in the district. The men behind the company are expert and reliable, and the property is bound to be a winner." Ely, in his opinion, is the greatest copper cop-per camp in the world. O'Brien bought the Bannigan and Brady properties at Mizpah for a sum not mentioned. Gold ana copper values of this district, according to O'Brien, are remarkable - considering the youth of the camp. |
