Nye County Denied

Un 4er date of the 18th instant, the
Acting Second Assistant Postmaster
General, G. F. Stone, communicated to
Senator Stewart as follows: Refer
ring again to a petition OF citizens of
Nye county, New, transmitted by YOU
to this Office for the establishment of
mail service direct between Butler
and Belmont. New, have the honor
to inform you that after a careful in
vestigation the department is compel
led to decline to grant the request
OF your constituents. There is a rea-
sonably good connection now between
the points named, via Junction, and
the proposed route would only slightly
improve the local exchange of mails.
Very few persons live on the line of
the route who would be benefited by
boz delivery facilitie,,, and the de-
partment is of the opinion that 1t
would not be warranted in establish
ing the route under existing circum-
stances" Thus it does not appear
that Senator Bells resolution of the
last session in relation to this matter
carried much weight or influence with
it.-Bonanza.

CONTROL MINES
Are Gaining a FOOthOId In

1T Is only question of few years
when the mines of Mexico will be con-
trolled by American capital and that
country will then enjoy an era OF
wonderful prosperity"
So said Dennis Ryan of st. Paul.
Mimi, who twenty years ago was
prominent in Utah mining and busi-
nes circles. Mr.. Bryan is a brother
of p. ]. Ryan of this city, whose in
f1uence in local mining circles has
never been underestimated by those
who know his share in contributing to
the development Of Utahs resources.
Dennis Ryan has just returned from
four months stay in Old Mexico,
where numerous mining properties in
which he is interested have responded
to development work with assurances
of remuneration.
Speaking of the outlook for an in
creased mineral output from Mexico,
and with particular reference to the
state of Jalisco. where his own prop
critics are located, Mr.. Ryan said:
1.-The Mexicans have not yet learned
to mine by modern methods. They are
unable to cope with water and insist
upon carrying out the ore on their
backs. instead of installing machinery
for handling the product. Systematic
up-to-date scientific development of
property is unknown to them. but that
will come and is coming quickly as
a result of the influence of American
capital and American methods OF

of the termination of the recent strike

man, and he addressed the crowd in

Mr.. Bole said the jollification was
not because of union victory. as
neither side had won a complete vic
tory, but because of the fact that the
strike was over and the mines had
resumed operations.

Rich Ore From TOnopah

Advices received from Tonopah state
that a shipment of high-grade ores
from the Montana -Tonopah mine is
about to be forwarded to this city
The ore. it is said. will contain sensa-
tional values. and some of the officers
expect to realize therefrom as much
as $4,000.
The fact that this consignment is
soon to reach the local market prob
ably accounts for the rapid advance
made in the price of the stock during
the past week.
Col. A. c. Ellis. who is one of the
largest stockholders. says the en-
hancement of the stock was not un-
expected by the management. He
sees no reason why it should be kept
down, and he believes that it is only
a matter of little time when it will
become as valuable as the original
Tonopah.
There has been considerable hustl-
ing about for Montana-Tonopah stock
during the past few days at advanced
figures. Buyers are willing to pay
% cents per share more for it now
than they would a week ago. Yes

the murder is the fact that the Indians
of that vicinity guard the limited wat

as Mr.. Ryan was in search of water
with the company's tank wagon, ac-
companied by a teamster, who was
also killed, the Indians probably shot
them. So runs an unconfrmed news
