The Financial Situation.

New York, April 29.-The Financier says
this week:
The New York banks are still accumu-
lating idle reserves, the total surplus, ac-
cording to the current exhibit. footing up
$5,524,6i5. The factors which were promi-
nent in the previous statement are still
in evidence. They had a further decrease
in loans, the loss of $3.50, 300 being much
less, however, than reported for the week
ending April %. Deposits have fallen off
$S04,3J0 and as cash increased over one
million the surplus expanded $1,S4S us. The
statement IS much better than it has been
looked for. known operations for the
week with the subtreasury resulted in u
loss OF more than three and a half mil
lions to the banks. and this more than
offset the estimated gain from the inter-
AS il transpired, however. the bank av-
erages disclose a better ending for the
week. il IS immaterial whether the ac-
tual condition of the clearing Institutions
is reflected in these averages since the
tendency in money affairs is favoring a
continued flow of funds to this center
and in a broad sense gains are to be eX-
pected from this time on. Whatever
money the banks lost TO the SubtreaSury
during the past few days will probably
be very much more than recovered
through interest disbursements and other
payments beginning May l.

MINES OF NEVADA.
Good Copper Showing In the White
Pine Country.

John Nicholas, who for many years
was identified with Mereur, has re-
4 turned from a nine months stay in
White Pine county, New. Since he left
Utah he has been prospecting near
Ely in the mining district of the same
name. He is high in his praises of the
distinct and says that it is the richest
copper country in the west and only
wants capital to make it rank with
| Butte Mont The country is little
known to the outside world, as it is
/ eighty miles from a railroad, and up to
the time of the recent advance in the
price of copper, had been prospected for
| gold and lead alone. Since that time,
however, a great many copper claims
have been worked with the result that
there is at the present time between
! $1,000 and 10000 tons of copper ore
mined or in sight, which will average
| 10 per cent copper.
! The mine is owned by Richard Reed,
| and known as the Morris crop. In the
| lotion of the shaft he struck ore that
assayed on an average of As per cent
| copper with a fair percentage of gold
and silver.
Mr.. Nicholas states that the country
for four miles in any direction around
Ely is in its formation the best copper
country he has ever visited. All the
veins are overlaid with iron. the foot
walls being of porphyry and the hang
ing walls of carbonized limestone the
prevailing country rock being lime
stone.
One hundred and fifty claims have
been staked out, one group of which is
known as the Robust group, owned
by Salt Lake parties. This property
contains considerable gold ore and the
owners have started a mill which will
handle fifteen tons per day of cyanid-
ing ores which runs on an average of
$40 per ton gold. In another part of
the property there is a good showing
of copper.
His return journey to Salt Lake was
made by way of the Utah & Pacific,
which gave him the opportunity to
visit the placers at Osceola in White
Pine county. These placers are very
rich in proof of which he has with him
about S1.50 worth of gold dust which
he washed out of about an eighth of
yard of gravel. The only difficulty with
these placers is the scarcity of water,
but lately machines have been brought
in which are giving good results. There
the district, upon one of which a TWEEN
ty-stamp mill has been put in opera
tion this spring, and is meeting with
fattering success. This mill is owned
by Salt Lake parties.
Mr.. Nicholas saws that with the adj
vent of capital the mines of White Pine
county viii rival any in the Rocky
mountains.

good thing it is to have d wife. Don't
you remember how l used to banker for

thought enough of me to make me a
present of them. but they never came !:
and now the very first year I am married
get the whole outfit as a birthday pres
ent from my wife. Just look at this
jacket! Isn't il a beauty? And aren't
these pipes. tobacco pouches and match
safes all q man could wish for?''
why, yes" said the cynical friend ::
they are simply out of sight. But it
seems to me that. even beautiful as they
are, bachelor could buy them for HIM
self if he really wanted them
4 suppose he could but no bachelor
ever does"
But" persisted the cynic, even
though your wife did buy these, didn't the
bill for them come i'll to you?''
OF course it did; but what does that
amount to when a fellow really has to
pay it? What / am thankful for it the
nerve she had in buying all this stuff
Even though L had been wanting it all
for the last ten years and really could
afford it, ] never had the nerve to go
and get it all at once. l tell you what,
it takes a wife to do things properly"

Washington. April 29.-Professor H.
f. Moore, of the United States fish
commission, is preparing an official re-
port on the possibility of oyster culture
in Great Salt lake. He has made an
extensive investigation of the subject
and the results of the investigation are
being embodied in his report.
He decides that it is impossible to
produce oysters in or about the Great
Salt lake. Its waters contain % per
cent of salty matter, while that of the
ocean contains only or per cent
Oysters cannot live in the lake and
therefore propagation is impossible.
The report is comprehensive review
