The altitude of Ely is 6400 feet. Only a few years ago Ely stood discredited in the eyes of the mining world as a district where fortunes had been lost in a fruitless endeavor to wrest the precious metals from the soil. Discovered forty years ago by Thomas Robinson, a prospector and desert pathfinder, the district did not attract any attention for a number of years. The persistent evidence of copper showings over a vast expanse of surface extending for several miles, caused the early prospectors to search the hills for gold and silver. The miners of the district looked upon the red metal with disfavor, as it interfered with the extraction of the gold and silver values in the ores with the process then in use. Although several small smelters were erected for the treatment of the copper ores in the later history of the camp, the crude facilities for Milling ore made it impossible to handle copper on a commercial basis. So it was not the copper ore, but the outcropping veins carrying gold and silver that first received the attention of mining men. During the forty years since the founding of the district, mining claims were located and relocated, and then finally abandoned, only to be taken up by some person who had faith in the future of the entire camp. Two costly cyanide plants were erected in Robinson canyon to treat the gold and silver ores of the camp still remain as minuments of mismanagement and futile efforts on the part of the stockholders. Today the copper kings of the country have substantial interests in Ely, and the long overlooked deposits of copper have been greedily taken up by the best talent in the country. Competent mining engineers have given their estimates of the tonnage of low-grade copper ores in the district, and after a exhaustive examination it is alleged that there was approximately 100,000,000 tons of copper ore in sight in the different mines. The intimation that Ely had been destined by nature as a treasure vault for her copper ores was not realized until last spring. Then the excitement and the rush was on in earnest. Hundreds rushed in from all parts of the country, and the word was passed along that Ely had the greatest known copper deposits in the world. Everybody was agreed that Ely was a wonderful camp, but they had not told half the story. Mining men attracted by the stories of the wealth and great opportunities of Ely, was only a repetition of the rush to the other great bonanzas of the western states. Every branch of industry felt the thrill of excitement. Real estate which could have been purchased for a song was now quoted in the thousands. Mining claims formerly believed to be worthless were eagerly taken up by the incoming prospectors. Mining men whose experience had covered a period of years from Mexico to Alaska, recognized good mineral territory that had been overlooked by the pioneers, and others whose knowledge of mining was limited were willing to take a chance at anything that was within a few miles of the well-known copper belt. As if by magic the fame of Ely copper spread to the financial centers of the east, and the stalwarts of the moneyed world made haste to secure choice ground. Another remarkable epoch in Ely's varied career was the completion of the Nevada Northern Railroad from Cobre to Ely, a distance of 150 miles, on September 30, 1906. That event was properly observed by the people of Ely with suitable exercises to commemorate that great occasion. The driving if the copper spike, which was made from copper ore at the Ruth mine, by M L Requa, who had taken a prominent part in building the road, meant to Ely a realization of something that she had been waiting for during a period of forty years. It would mark the beginning of a career which makes her without a peer among the industrial centers of the world. That Ely has enormous deposits of copper ore will be then a matter of common information. The Nevada Northern will also be the means of furnishing the markets of the world with the stupendous wealth of Ely copper ore. Glorius as the future of Ely seems at the present time, yet the pioneer of the camp can look back upon a day not far distant when the prospects were not clothed in such a roseate hue. The story of Ely of the early days was similar in many respects to that of many mining camps in this state. When the demonitization of silver caused many of the Nevada mining camps to collapse almost entirely, yet the effect on Ely was not so marked. Placer mining was carried on by only a few, and the small silver values in the ores did not cause a phenomenal rush to the district, hence rhw collapse which followed was less complete. Ely still retained its name simply because of an ideal location and a better permanency of its ore deposits. Hamilton, Ward and Taylor enjoyed pronounced booms, and during the days of their prosperity boasted thousands of people within their confines. Yet several years afterwards these towns practically went out of existence, while Ely, even during the days of greatest repression, had a population of about 400 people. Although the Robinson mining district had been worked in a desultory manner since the early seventies, yet the town of Ely, situated near the mouth of Robinson canyon, did not spring into existence until 1886. Joseph Featherstone conducted a stage station and postoffice in the Riepe Building, which possesses the honor of being the first structure on the land now embraced in the Ely townsite. The second building was put up by Albert Heusser, and is now being used as a blacksmith shop. By an act of the Legislature passed during the session of 1887 the county seat was removed from Hamilton to Ely, and this gave the town its first evidence of permanency. In the fall of 1887 the first term of court was held in the new court house before it was finished. A canvas was made to serve the double purpose of a roof and a protection against the elements. A L Fitzgerald, at present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this state, was the Presiding Judge. Richard A Riepe, who has ammassed a fortune from his mining holdings, was the first postmaster. About this time considerable interest was being manifested in the mines of the district. The famous Chainman mine was located by Thomas Rockhill, a pioneer of White Pine, whose fortune is estimated at half a million dollars, and the Chainman Gore, Turvey, V and Southern Cross, adjoining claims, were taken up by W N McGill, James P McOmie and A J Underhill. A transfer was later effected by which Rockhill transferred his title to the Chainman mine to the above named gentlemen for the Southern Cross mine, which he still owns. General A L Thomas located the Ely and Mohawk mines, near Chainman, at the same time. Shortly afterwards the Robust mine, now included in the holdings of the McDonald-Ely company, became the property of Richard Riepe and General Thomas and Henry Riepe, the latter two of whom have since passed to the great beyond. D C McDonald also secured mining property near the Robust mine during the early days. A number of mining locations were made on the hills north of Ely, but were later abandoned because the gold showings did not come up to expectations. The Ely townnsite and a large tract of land in Robinson canyon were located for placer ground, but as it did not prove to be a paying venture for the owners, it was abandoned. A R, familiarly known as "Buckskin" Watson, was a character of the early days, who was prominently identified with the growth of this district. He was the original locator of the Joana mine, east of the Chainman, and, with Abe Shallenbarger, operated an arastra, which proved to be a great success. With prosperity on every hand, Watson branched out in all directions, and placed location notices on the Eureka and other claims included in the first holdings of the Nevada Consolidated. The Pilot Knob and Brooks claims, the original possessions of the Giroux Consolidated, were located by Watson years before this camp was supposed to be a copper proposition. Part of the ground now owned by the Cumberland Ely Company was first taken by Watson. The Joana property, for which he is said to have refused $100,000, became involved in litigation, and before Watson's title to the mine was determined by the courts, he had spent all his resources, and the mine was taken by his creditors. He died a several years afterwards a poor man. From 1892 to 1897 mining was carried on in a haphazard fashion, the chief reliance being placed on the gold values. Occasionally bunches of high-grade silver-lead ore sufficiently rich to be freighted 150 miles to Toana and then smelted at Salt Lake at a profit were found. The freight charges of those days were something immense, and the ore had to be of a high quality to stand the haul. The old-time prospectors whose faith in Ely was often greater than their pocketbook, made their expenses by making rich shipments of lead ore to outside smelters. With the proceeds of the shipment as a nucleus they began work on their mines with renewed energy and greater hope. During the dark days hopeless decay and neglect were evident on every hand, and streets that once showed signs of activity were now abandoned. Many of the pioneers held on to their mining claims regardless of the disappointments that they had undergone. Their faith in Ely was so enduring that they stayed in the camp despite the obstacles that were thrown in their path. The pioneers, as rule, held mining ground in the canyon, and a large number whose ground was near the copper belt sold out their holdings and were placed in "Easy Street". After the Chainman people had worked the ores from their mine in a small mill on the hillside west of town for a number of years, the property was sold to Charles D Lane, a prominent California mining man, in 1897. He worked the mine for two years as a gold proposition, and spent $168,000 for a water ditch, power plant and cyanide plant. Owing to gross mismanagement of those in charge, and as the ores would not yield to the cyanide process, Lane was compelled to suspend operations. Several years later an eastern company bought the mine, and erected another cyanide plant near by. Sulphide ore was encountered at a depth of 180 feet in a shaft, and the cyanide process for working the ores was a failure. Mismanagement and incompetency in the handling of the company's affairs were again evident, and the properties were closed down, after only a few months. Several months ago the Chainman properties were purchased by the Nevada Consolidated, and since the Chainman stockholders were not satisfied with the purchase price they brought suit for possession of the mine. On the opposite side of the canyon and closer to Ely, the Ely Mining & Milling Company, composed of Salt Lake mining men, bought the Robinson group, and built a cyanide plant near the mine. The mill made a small run, but was closed down indefinitely because the discovery of sulphides at a small depth made it impossible to work the ores for their gold values on a paying basis. After lying idle for three years these mines were taken over by Thomas Kearns, David Keith and other Salt Lakers, and a company known as the McDonald-Ely Company was organized, with D C McDonald as manager. Development work on the properties during the last few months have shown satisfactory results. A D Campton, the owner of the Ely townsite, was the first person to attempt the smelting of copper ores in this district. The only fuel he had was wood, and his efforts ro smelt the ores were not successful. Although the presence of copper ores had been known in the district for many years, its possibilities were not realized until 1898, when Joseph Bray acquired a group of claims at Copper Plat from Thomas Rockhill and Newton Boyd. After working the mines for a number of years the New York & Nevada Copper Company was formed for development purposes. The company's career was not strewn with success, and several years later a receiver was appointed to take charge of its affairs. At this juncture the company was merged with the White Pine Copper Company, which was financed by M L Requa, and the new corporation was known as the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company. The original possessions of the White Pine Company included the Ruth mine, purchased for $1000, and named after Ruth McDonald. The Nevada Consolidated Company, under the management of M L Requa, an able and energetic man, has done extensive development work, and is now preparing to erect a smelter at McGill's, with a capacity of 10,000 tons a day. This company controls a number of valuable water rights in different parts of the county. Another pioneer in bringing the copper wealth of Ely before the world was the Giroux Consolidated Copper Company, which has been in existence for several years, and which has the largest single group of claims in the district. The Alpha shaft of the Giroux Company is the deepest in the camp, having attained a depth of 1000 feet, and is still in sulphides. In the Taylor shaft of this company some of therichest copper ore of the district has been uncovered. The company is building a 500-ton concentrator on the mines which will soon be in operation. A large number of shafts have been sunk on the property, and the depths range from 350 to 1000 feet. Thirty strong mining companies are now operating in the Ely district. In the holdings of one company there is enough ore blocked out to keep a 10,000-ton smelter at work for 120 years, working every day in the year. There are a number of companies at Ely which have showings of ore almost as great. These vast bodies of ore, which may well be said to be mountains in extent, insure a working population of from 5000 to 10,000 men. This in the mining and transportation of the products of the mines alone. When to this is added the monster smelting plants (some of which are already under construction) that will have to be operated day and night through- out the year in order to reduce the ore, and you account for several thousand more of population. Still we are not through. Though the copper deposits are enormous in extent, there are districts contiguous to Ely which bid fair to become phenomenal producers of lead and silver and other fluxing ores, which in the nature of things must be treated at the smelters at Ely. As will be seen, this will add more to the population of the city. Today there is in course of construction a great smelting plant and concentrating mills, which will handle between 5000 and 10,000 tons of ore per day. Other plants are being projected which mill more than quadruple the tonnage. A contract has been let by which Black Mountain, near Ely, will be torn down and run through smelters and the erstwhile old camp is the scene of such activity as was never dreamed of in the district before. The city of Ely has now a population of over 2000 souls, and is growing every day. It is electric lighted throughout. The older portion of the camp is very prettily built up. There are two banks, several general stores, two daily newspapers, schools, churches, etc. These are being added to as the days go by, yet the business of the district is increasing so fast that it can hardly be kept up with. The Western Pacific is now on the desert and will push a branch into this district before many months have gone. The Tonopah & Ely line has become a necessity and will follow the Western Pacific into camp. A small gap only remains to be filled, and the Clark road will also push into White Pine County. This, with the others, will make the map of Ely in the near future look like a wheel, with this city as its center.
