Ell. MimS& Co. Market Letter

The sluggishness in the Tonopah
stocks is in some measure due to the
fact that local holders see quicker
returns from investments made in
Goldfeld. They are neglecting Ton
opah stocks, in other words sacrifc-
ing them in order to secure holdings
in the new districts of Goldfeld and
Diamondfeld.
The Montana for the past six or
eight months has been the leader of
Tonopah stecks, all others from force
Of habit act in sympathy with the ex-
ception Of Tonopah Extension; the
decline in Montana in our opinion is
due to the fact that inside support is
lacking, and other stockholders who
are not acquainted with what will
occur at the annual meeting are in
doubt as to whether a dividend will
be declared then. Should the direc-
tors decide to declare a dividend the
stock will unquestionably 90 to the
SO mark. The problem that is now
confronting the managers of Tonopah
mines is transportation, which at the
present writing looks very gloomy,
aud it will be several months before
heavy shipments to the smelters car
be made. We quote the leading
stocks as follows: Montana Tonopah.
50 %, 50 80; Tonopah Common.
81 Is, IS; Belmont, 63c 65c; Tonopal
Extension, 81 Is, 81 20; Midway.
40c 45c; Mcnamara, 37c.43c.
While Tonopah stocks have de
clined during the past week, Tonopal
Gold Mountain has remained very
firm, The manager 81 this company
will shortly commence active worl
on an extensive scale. We strougl,
urge the buying Of this stock as The
future Of this property is most fiat
tering. We quote at 20c 22c.

Coal has become mans chief worker.
and horse labor and haman manual
labor are slowly being pushed aside.
In the great transformation it has
been brain power that has triumphed
over brute strength. Man first sought
to shift his burden to the backs Of
the beasts of the field. and the horse
became his patient friend and assist
ant, but now he seeks to harness the
elemental forces Of nature to do his
bidding. The burden is thus lightened
without cruelty to any living creature.
Neither man nor beast has had his la.
bors increased. but steadily decreased.

PEARL FISHERIES.
How the Gems Are Obtained and Dis.
posed of In CeyIon.

How the Gems Are Obtained and Dis.
posed of In CeyIon.
Since Keats told how the Ceylon
diver held his breath and went. all
naked. to the hungry shark many
poets have exhausted the resources OF
their Imagination in trying to describe
the wonderful pearl fisheries Of Cey-
Ion. few facts about them NAV be
of interest. if only as an antidote to so
much poetry.
The pearl fisheries are the property
OF the government of Ceylon. The
divers are paid no wages. but receive
one-third of the oysters they bring up,
the rema4ing two-t thirds being taken
by government agent and sold at
public auction to speculative buyers,
who gather from all parts of the orr
ent. The pearl fishery usually lasts
from thirty to forty days. but does not
take place every year. If it did the
oyster banks would soon he ruined.
Sometimes several years are allowed to
pass by without a fishery.
The diving is done after a primitive
fashion. and the stories told about the
marvellous length of time the divers
will remain under water are quite I'M
founded. The record is 1 minute 40
seconds.
The aucAon. which lasts for several
days. is one of the most interesting
sights to be seen in Asia The oysters
are sold in lots of 1000, and of course
the purchaser is buying "a pig in a
poke There may be no pearls in any
OF his oysters or the first one he opens
may give him fortune This risk ap-
peals to the gambling spirit of the
orient. and pretty nearly all the races
from the Persian gulf to Japan are
represented ut the sale.
The prices paid usually start low on
the first day. Then if the buyers have
found pearls in fair quantities bidding
is keen, and the prices jump skyward
One year they varied from los. Id. per
1000 on the first day to ED Us. Tod.
on the second.
1t is remarkable that the fisheries
are Still so profitable. for there are
historical records that they were work,
ed there 800 years before the birth of
Christ, and it is impossible to say how
many years before that date.
