The TONOPAH STOCKS
Peculiar Condition of the Rich
Nevada Properties

The Tonopah stock market presents
one e the most peculiar conditions
Of any body of tranactions that has
ever been before the public a number
Of sensational strikes have been made
in the camp, strikes that would have
set the stocks of any other camp on
earth a booming into three figures.
Most of the mines that are operated
in the camp are incorporated and have
stock for sale, or it's stock is held in
close corporations. This seems to
work a drawback to the camp. A great
deal of stock has been disposed of. 1t
is held in every section Of the country,
and while most Of the mines that have
gone any depth have uncovered an ore
stocks. 1t is circumstance that is
hard to explain.
The last strike in Belmont, if one
half of the report is true, is the most
fabulous ever uncovered in this State.

cluded. The sensationh strike has
advanced the stock but few points
Had this same ore been uncovered in
Virginia City today. the stock would
leap with strides into the richest kind
If figures. Montana Tonopah and sev-
eral other strikes were treated in the
same manner. The people do not traf-
fic in the stocks or else they have not
confidence in the returns as yet. The
Belmont strike is the one in particl-
lar that calls attention to the present
condition. The story is in every ones
mouth and its fabulous values have
figured over a hundred times in the
past two weeks but in spite Of this,
the stock remains at an extremely
low figure, considering the amount in
sight.

DANGEROUS WORK.
Electric Light Wires Shorted With
Work of Trouble Maker.

Yesterday morning the sub-statiOn in
this city was compelled to send men
along the line as the telephone line
was out Of commission and it was
feared that the wires were down. A
man was sent along the inc and near
Empire the trouble was found. Some
one had thrown bunch OF bailing
wires over the telephone line and
shorted the circuit Had the wire
reached the high tension there would
have been considerable more damage
done, # nothing worse
The electric company has had con-
siderable trouble with this kind of
trouble and is determined if posi-
bic TO fathom the trouble out On
number Of occasions wires have been
thrown across the high tension wires
which has resulted in the burning out
of one transformer and doing other
damage.
The party dealing in this business
takes a chance of his life. as the min
ute a wire crosses there is all kinds
Of fire works and a small jolt Of it
will wind up the career Of the party
in the trouble On the other hand it
endanSers the lives of others and is
apt to cost the company great deal
of damage, as we'll as the private par
ties on the electric service line.
The killing of the cattle below this
city q few weeks ago was caused by
some one shooting an insolator from
the pole with pistol or rife \ num-
Der Of other instances can be cited
where destruction has been attempt
al by some one The company keeps
/ a standing reward for the arrest and

+ the poles. the wires or in fact any
of their belongings. This is done as
much for the safety Of the public As
anything else. as a break in the wires
is apt to cause the loss of life.
1t is to be hoped that the com
p8ny will be able to hunt out the
party that is giving them trouble and

stated that the only explanation that
he could figure out WAS tnat the mines
We're producing ore. but were not
turning out bullion. He predicts That
as soon as the bullion is placed on tne
markets that the real boom Of Tono-
pah will take place. He also pronounc-
ed the strike in the Belmont the rich
est that the coast has ever known
and is as surprised as any Of the peo-
pie who arc in touch with the situat-
ion, that the stock is transacted at
such low figure.
The real test of Tonopah is still in
the future. 1t will require reduction
works to bring out the mine and
show the values to the world When
the mills commence to turn out bull
ion, something that can be seen by
the people, then there will be a differ
ent story to tell on the stockboard.
The original Tonopah stock has
dwindled down to half Of the price that
was offered a year SO Had the Cas-
tern company that has control milled
the ores, the stock today would be on
"a dividend basis, while at the present
time only enough ore is shipped to
carry on expenses. 1t is a condition
that no camp Ct its size and pretanef
ons has aone through before and BY
the time the mills are in running or
der there win IL ore enough to keer
steady stream Of bullion coming
from the camp The first mill that
starts in Toropah viii be watched by
thousands who are carrying stock i,
the different mines f the camp.

1t Is my specially to fit glasses III
such q manner that thel relieve the
eye strain perfectly, fitting the eye
with spectacles that you can see with
ease and comfort. thus preserving tne
eye. In examining the eye only the lat
est and most improved methods and
instruments are used Physicians cs-
pecially are invited to call and inves-
tigate my methods Of correcting er-
rors Of refraction. Many cases o.
headach. neuralgia, nervousness, in
somnia. vertigo, nervous prostration
and the seeming stupidity of children
are often due to defective vision caus-
ed by an abnormal curvature of the

regularity of the refracting media OF
the eye, ard are relieved at once upon
application of the proper glasses. Nine
ty per cent of the people over 40 years
of age need glasses, and so per cent
of the 90 need them for distance
Glasses are not always given to i'm
prove eyesight, but to relieve undue
strains. in short. to assist nature
Thousands of eyes are ruined yearly
Seven persons out of ten have neither
eyes alike, and one of twenty astig-
matism; hence the necessity of test
ing each eye separately. Special at
tention is given to any inequality that
may exist between the refraction Of
the eye.
Optical science has made advances
within the last few years; the correct
adaptation of spectacles has become
distinct profession. The optician who
thoroughly understands his business
realizes fully that in adjusting glasses
for his patients he is treating with a
most delicate and precious organ,
where the slightest error may result
seriously, while if he does his work
well ,,a not only gives comfort and
ease to his patients, but in many in
stances restores the eyesight.
Special care should be taken in Sc
lecting the first pair of spectacles, nor
should it be attempted without the aid
Of responsible optician. 1t is most i'm
portant that the lenses should be
accurately centered and of the best
quality, and the frame so made that
the wearer looks directly through the
center. Glasses nicely fitted to the
face become an ornament as well as
. necessity.

TRAFFIC, IMMENSE:

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Dec. 30. - The yards of the Iron Mountain at this place are crowded now as never before, even in the rust ling days of the old division, and in spite of the strenuous eff forts being made by authorities to facilitate traffic more freight cars are on the tracts than can be conveniently handled. Not only at this point but all along the line toward St. Louis the con ditions seem to be the same, due to the heavy shipments from Texas and the south. The re suit of this overcrowding is somewhat fatal to the passenger accommodations, and it is a rare instance in which a train pulls out of here on time, or within an hour of time.

AWFUL HOLOCAUST
 IN CHICAGO THEATRE.
Sheet of Flame Bursts From Stage of Iroquois Theatre Panic Ensues Dead Piled Six Feet Deep Nearly 2 Thousand Dead and
 Injured.

Over $50 persons in attendance upon a matinee performance of Blue Beard" at the Iroquois theatre, the newest, largest and as far as human power could make it, the safest theatre in Chicago, lost their lives Wednes- day afternoon.
 Besides this, there are 400 in jured or missing. The morgues and hospitals are filled to over flowing and though the morning papers have printed long lists of the dead and injured, the work of identification has hardly been begun.
 Many of the dead were incin- erated, some suffocated by the gas, but the vast majority of victims were crushed and tram pied to death in the panic which ensued when a sheet of flame burst from the stage over the heads of the auditors in the par quet, scorching those upon the lower balconies.
 The fire originated from a grounded electric light wire and the asbestos drop curtain failed to work, allowing the flames to reach the auditorium. The audi ence was composed largely of women and children. The fire lasted but 40 minutes and the property damage is estimated at $50, 000.

 Old Places to Be
 Closed.

January first will witness a Shaking up in the saloons of Newport and after that date, having taken up locations in the Second ward, the chances seem to be that they will settle down ta business undisturbed.l So '~4 long as the matter rests with the courts the outcome is uncertain; it may be that the ruling of the supreme court will allow the sa- looms to resume business in their old stands if the finding of Judge F. D. Fulkerson be reversed.

He did not ex- pect to move into the Second ward and would close up his present place of business and await developments in court.
 Thad Arlington has made ap- plication for license to run a dramshop at sos Front street and has offered bond of the Ameri- can Surety Company. He was refused license last January and the outcome of his application is Sin doubt.
 The saloons in the First ward will be closed tonight (Thursday) at 12 o'clock and for awhile at least they will be punched in one ward.
