THE TONOPAH MINING Elk.
CHANGE STATES FACTS.

Pursuant to a resolution passed by the
San Francisco and Tonopah Mining Ex-
change, in an executive session, Satur-
day, December the 18th, the following
statement is given out for publication :
No consolidation of the San Francisco
and Tonopah Mining Exchange and the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board
has been effected, nor is such a move
contemplated.
When the public began to realize that
TonOpah and vicinity was a great min
ing region and that the stocks listed on
the San Francisco and Tonopah Mining
Exchange were good safe Investments,
the business OF this board became quite
lively. This excited the jealousy OF the
ComsiOck brokers, whose business was
overshadowed anu cut into by the deal
ing in the Tonopah and Goldneld stocks.
The Comstock brokers first made Il
p]ropositiun to~consolidate the two boards,
but this did not meet with the approval
of the Tonopah brokers, for several
reasons, the principal one Of which WAS
the great difference in the nature of the
securities dealt in on the two boards.
The Comstuck shares are all assessa-
bic, and there are many mines Oh their
list that have not been worked for twenty
years, and no one expects them to ever
work again; in fact, the value of nc
stock on the Comstock list depends OF
the merit of the mine, but on the man.
ipulation of the stock. In contrast to
this assessment mill and stock manipu-
lation, the Tonopah stocks are non-as-
sessable, and if the mine or prospect has
no merit the stock has no value.
In "plain English" the Comstocks are
CANDLES and the TOnopahs are invest
ments and legitimate speculatiOns.
When consolidation was refused, fif-
teen members of the Tonopah board de-
cided to join the Comstock exchange.
After being elected members of the Com
stock exchange and trying to do bust
Comstock brokers, they asked that the
Tonopah exchange take them back in
a body, and stated that their reason for
wanting to come back was that they were
unable to do a legitimate business in
TOnopah stocks under the methods pre-
vailing on the Com>tOck exchange.
Seven OF the TOnOpah brokers, who
had paid 5000 each for their seats on the
Comstock board, were so glad to get
back into the Tonopah exchange that
they willingly sacrificed their 81 400.
The San Francisco and Tonopah Ex-
change has continued to do a good legit-
innate business in the stocks on it's list
at its board rooms in the Mills building,
and will continue to do so.
Notwithstanding the treachery OF one
or two former members of the Tonopah
exchange and the jealousy of the Com
stock brokers, the San Francisco and
Tonopah Exchange has a larger and
stronger membership than at any time
in its history.
1t may be mentioned that the mem
bers of the San Francisco and Tonopah
Mining Exchange have reduced their
rate of commission, which is now ONE
HALL OF ONE E CENT on amount OF
transactions. Minimum charge 81.
II. G. CUTTING,
President of the S. F. and Tonopah
Mining Exchange,

MILLS FOR COLDFIELD.
Active Constrr ~tion Work on Several
Now Under Way.

One Of thu. first milling plants that
will be in oI Grafton in Guldfcid is now
IN course of e, %struction near Rabbit
spring, about q mile west Of town.
A gang vt wurkmen are now ~-xcavat-
ing for the plant and il is the expecta-
ton of these connected with the enter
prise to have the mill in full operation
in about Fix weeks time.
LIE company that will operate the
buFiness is sty led the Goldfield Reduc-
ton Works. Percy G. Gardner is man
ager. Tie plant will be installed with
ten stamps but later on ten more will
be added, as we'll as a cyanide plant.
The concentrating room is to be 24x36
feet, equipped with four Frue vanners.
The boiler room will be 28x3l feet while
the balance of the mill is to he 24xSO
feet. The machinery that the company
will use is that from a former mill To-
Gated at GARFIELD, twelve miles distant
from Sodaville. All of the machinery
is now at Tonopah and will be shipped
in daily consignments from o on.
1t has been thought by many that a
mill in this section would experience
trouble in obtaining water to run the
plant with, but contrary to anticipations
an ample water supply is o~btainable in
nearly every section. The Goldfield
own hat has a capacity OF about 1000
gallons daily and a contract has been
made with the Goldtield Water COM
pany whereby a sutiiciency OF water is
assured Tor the proper maIntenane OF
the establishment.

ter street. Muskogee Times, A
Here is an excellent suggestion.
Muskogee is spending large sums
of money on her streets. The ap-
pointment of a committee Of busi-
ness men to cooperate with the
street and alley committee willnot
only assist that committee but it
will insure that the money will be
spent in way that will give salts
faction. There should be hearty
cooperation between the business
men of a city and the men who
govern. The plan adopted in Mus
kogeemay offer a suggestion of
value to Chickasha. No. commit
tee of the city council has a more
important wcrS to do than the one
OH streets and alleys.
The streets of Chickasha in the
business part of townand especially
Chickasha Avenue have long been
in deplorable condition. Paving is
the only final remedy for them, but
in the meantime before that is pos
sible, there ought to be some plan
devised by which they can be placed
i'll better condition.
The EXPRESS has reason to be-
lieve that the business men are
ready to cooperate with the coun-
ell in this work. The matter has
been discussed by the com
mercial club and that body has ex-
pressed a willingness to assist in the
work. Something should be done
and ii should be done at once.
