Reporting Is Our Business

We enjoy being proved right.

Take last week for instance.

We ran a story that the forensic audit had found no criminal wrong doing on the part of the Ely Rail Road NNYR.

Some had a conniption fits.

Kind of reminded us of a room full of pissed off chimps.

  Some partisans even leaked to the press some four year old information that something might be suspicious somewhere about the Rail Road.

We could care less. It was four years ago after all.

We do know that if there was something terrible in the forensic audit someone would have said something to someone else and before Bob is your uncle everyone would have known.

That is just how it works in any community of human beings.

Funny thing about that four year old suspicion about something going amiss.

It has to do with timing.

Four years ago City Councilman Steve Marich plead guilty to embezzling from the bank he worked for.

Funny thing even though word got out real quick no one in the Ely media touched it.

We touched it.

We even groped it and for three solid weeks while others sat on their hands we reported it.

Evidently some reporters and bloggers believed that if the sheriff doesn’t give the okay they shouldn’t report NEWS.

The word moron does come to mind.

We will continue to report the news and we will continue to scoop everyone else because we are better than them.

So sit back fellas and follow our lead.

So now we have another gold mine going in eastern Nevada that by the way intersects with a wagon train trail pony express route– maybe.

Our friend Foster Wilson must be just about half way to crazy now.

What with gold mining going on in the Pequops too the BLM seems to love gold mines tearing up the ancient 150 year old ruts of some white dude.

At the same time the BLM seems not to like Foster too much.

Maybe is has to do with the mineral he wants to mine 30 miles north of Wendover–potash.

Sure it isn’t as sexy as gold.

Can’t make a ring out of potash and it isn’t a part of the world economy.

Still Foster would like to make some money at it and provide jobs to Wendover as well.

But the BLM in Utah is a tad different from the BLM in Nevada.

They have to take stupid pills in the Salt Lake office.
