OK, you gambled that this might be a thread on gambling in Ely but that's old news - just stay at the (in)famous Hotel Nevada and be aware of the cold shower.

Actually, this is a heads up regarding a fund raising challenge presented by Barrick Bald Mountain Mine. They will match dollar for dollar up to 50K - but, only if you give by July 15th, 2009.

Now's the time to donate if ever there was.

Just note (Barrick Challenge) and send a contribution to:
The Nevada Northern Railway Museum
PO Box 150040
Ely, NV 89315

or Call (775) 289-2085

Pardon my intrusion but - it's all about preservation, right?
