Moderate Receipts of Cattle Gre
ates Active Demand From All Classes

Chicago. May lS.-Moderate re-
ceipts of cattle are resulting in a
stronger market. ana today prices were
largely ten cents higher with an ac-
tive demand from all classes of buy
ers. Cheap little cattle continue in
excellent demand and there is fair
stocker and feeder trade.
Cattle trade has of late been quite
satisfactory TO sellers. all but big heavy
steers meeting ready outlet at strong
prices, and even the latter class have
been fair sellers in The past half week,
but the general trade is yet none too
strong and all traders agree that con-
sentative marketing of steers should be
followed during the balance of this
month in order that the present range
of values be held. The consumptive
demand for beef is reported only fair of
late, and trade in dressed beef is at
present sensitive to warmer weather,
which has cut down the strength Of the
demand.
Recent inquiry for good choice year
ling heifers has been quite broad and
selling of these is now active at prices
relatively higher than are being paid
for many good cen'nfed steers which
have been feeding for much longer
period. Buyers say there is a strong in
qury at markets fer light weight cuts
of beef and that the best heifers can be
used very advantagaously in filling that
branch of the consllinptive demand.

"The greatest gold camp on earth" is
the brief way VIM. l.. Wilson describes
Goldfeld, New, in telegram to Presi
dent E. N. Burr of the Rocky Mountain
Securities company, and of which Mr..
Wilson is secretary and treasurer. He
left Denver May l, for Tonopah and
Goldfeld, saying: 81 am prepared to be
disappointed in Goldfield because it has
been praised so highly as region of ex-
traordinary gold resources" He was
accompanied by Fl. E. Elston of Phila-
delphia, heavy stockholder in the Ton
opah Prospectors Development company.
They desire to inspect the assets of this
company which the Rocky Mountain Sc
curities company is financing, and it is
presumed they found the company's six
claims at Goldfeld fully up to the stand
ard of value the prospectors finding them
had represented two months ago.-Min.

COLDFIELD AND TONOPAH
Mark Bradshaw Tells Reno Journal
of their Wonderful Showing.

Mark Bradshaw, young mining engi-
neer, who graduated from the Nevada
University last year, returned from To
nopah and Goldfeld yesterday morning
and gives glowing details concerning the
richness of the camps, says the State
Journal. In statement last evening he
said that the claims and mines in Gold
field and TonOpah were looking better
than tney ever had before and that a
vast amount of work would be done
there this summer. He also told of the
success of some local men in the new Ell
Dorado.
King Ryan, formerly the trainer of the
Reno Wheelman's relay team. has an in
terest in some very rich claims which
have been bonded for $4,000 and in all
probabilities will soon be worth COM
Portable fortune.
Ed Erickson, also graduate mining
engineer of the University of Nevada, has
position with the Gold Hill Mining
company of Tonopah, and is making
reputation for himself as mining man
of ability.
Dave Ward, well known civil engin-
eer of this city, is in the new camp and
intends to go into business in the near
future.
Bradshaw is interested in several rich
leases in Goldfeld and after attending
to some business in this city he will re-
turn to Goldfeld to look after his inter-
ests which he says ''loOk good to him."
There are at present five claims in
Goldfeld working large forces of men
and sacking ore for shipment and Brad
shaw states that as soon as the road is
completed the forces in all the mines will
be increased and more properties will be
worked.

Accident at the White Rock.

Peter Maher and Tom Murray were
painfully but not seriously hurt in an &C
cidept at the White Rock last Wednes-
day. The men we're being lowered and
standing on the rim of the bucket. When
the bottom was approached the whim did
not work properly and the bucket struck
the ground with considerable force. Ma
her and Murray were quite badly shaken
and the tendon in the leg strained but,
as stated above, are not seriously injured,

Tim Cronin is reported to have struck
good ore Monday on the claim which he
is working for John McKane and which
lies east of the lack Butte.
On the Mohawk, No. 2, the east drift is
in 5O feet from the 80 foot point in the
shaft and the west drift 40 feet. There
is no particular change in the formation.
The Hazel Kirk Goldfeld Mining Com
pany have IL men at work on the Sand
storm. The shaft has reached depth OF
10 feet and they are now crosscutting for
the ledge.
Keane. McMahon, Fletcher and Hol
land are prospecting some claims S miles
north of Diamondfield on which there is
a good showing, some of the rock show
ing free gold under the glass.
On the Lanka lease on hte February
the lessees are prosecuting from the Sc
foot point in the shaft. They are in 30
feet on ledge, all good looking quartz,
but the values at this point are low.
Geo. Winkler and associates have three
men at work on the Eagle group trench
ing in various places in order to deter.
mine the best place to sink working
shaft. OF late they have secured num-
ber of good paintings indicating values OF
$40 to $5U per ton.
The Jumbo and Vernal Extension Min
ing company have opened up a ledge
from which good paintings have been
made on the Three Friends Fraction,
near Diamondfeld The directots of the
company have voted to dispose of $4,000
shares of their treasury stock, for which
several offers have already been received.
The shaft on the Oddie, Ickes and Ray
lease on the north half of the January is
now down ITO feet and for some time
good Hooking quartz has been encoun
tered, but the values are low. Yesterday
some sulphides we're struck but the val
ues have not been determined. The les
sees intend to soon crosscut to the ledge
which was struck at depth of 100 feet

still it is plainly visible in some of the speci-
mems. There are three feet of the rich ore at
this point. Mr.. Collins did not state the aver
age value of this ore body, but it is safe to say
that it goes we'll into the hundreds of dollars
per ton There are two other drifts at the 1885,

There have been rumors during the week of
sensationally rich strikes in the Combination
the pioneer mine of the camp, some of the re-
ports stating the ore was plastered with visible
gold in prodigal manner. Another report
was to the effect that quite flow of water had
been struck in the shaft A visit to Manager
Collins proved that the rumors were cxagger-
ated, but he stated that it strictly within
the truth TO say that the Combination, which
has the deepest shaft in the district, never
looked better than it does today, and that the
average value of the ore bodies recently ex-
posed was greater than ever.
Mr. Collins is ltra-conservative and when
the record of the Combination to date is taken
into consideration, his statement shows that the
mine is doing we'll enough to suit the most en-
thusiastic.
The best ore is coming from the west drift
about IS feet from the 1so-foot point in the
shaft While the ore is not as plentifully
sprnkled with gold the enthusiasts had it,

Keane, Mcffahon q Fletcher's.

The owners of the Great Bend group
have decided to install whim and sink
an additional 100 feet from the IS foot
point in the shaft Recent developments
have proven that they have just got the
top of the best ore shoot and had they
sunk three feet less in depth the crosscut
would have missed it entil ely. This
shoot has been drifted on for 30 feet and
in the bottom of the drift the pay streak
is 3 feet wide, but extends upwards less
than 3 feet. As the whole streak con-
tains shipping values and is widening
considerably even in the shallow depth SO
far opened, the wisdom of sinking and
opening up stopping ground, is apparent.
In addition to the sinking of the shaft,
one of the drifts will be continued to
catch shoot which had extra good val
ues on the surface
Strike on the Daisy.
Matt Graham & Co., leasing on the
Daisy, made a good strike this week
about 300 feet east of the Harvey shaft
and on the same ledge. The ledge has
been opened up near the surface for II
width of IA feet, and feet of this shows
big values in paintings. Some of the
paintings indicated values up to 5000 per
ton and of 25 paintings made Tuesday,
not one indicated values less than $40,
while some WEI: as high as 500 per ten.
One specimen, which would not pan a
color, was assayed and the result was
$l65 in gold and $l4.24 silver to the ton
The January Lease.
The pile of mill ore which Kendall,
Reilly, Jones and Patrick have taken
out of their lease on the January is assum
ing the proportions of a small mountain,
a conservative estimate made Friday put
ting the amount at not less than 5000
tons-the gross value being over $780,
600. The sacks of shipping ore also
steadily grow in number as freight teams
cannot be had as often as needed. The
main shaft is now down $50 feet and the
showing in shafts, drifts and crosscuts is
practically the same as last week.
Florence Lease No. 3.
The sub -lessees on Florence Lease No.
are still sinking and are doing some
stopping besides. The rich ore shoot,
which averages above $500 per ton, is
still being followed and maintains it's
widths and values.
Curley George and Boom Factions.
VIM. L. Wilson, secretary and treas
urer of the Rocky Mountain Securities
Company of Denver. Colo, has bought a
controlling interest in the Curley George
and Boom factions, lying east of the
Jumbo. The Curley George lies between
the Saint Ives and the Union Jack of

Geo. s. Nixon Here.

Geo. s. Nixon, the Winnemucca
banker, came in Wednesday to look after

He states that his visit is a purely bust
ness one and has no political significance.
Mr.. Nixon was accompanied by Rube

derson of Glasgow, Scotland. The
former is an old-time miner and very
well known throughout the State.

the Jumbo group. The recent rich
strike on the Saint Ives was made within
3 feet of the side line of the Curley George
and as the same ledge has been opened
[ up on the Union Jack and shows values
up to $500 per ton, the Curley George
apparently has cinch on good ore with
out having to prospect for it.
The Red Top.
On the Red Top Capt. Bradley is just
getting into the ledge in crosscut from
the 80 foot point in the sthaft. The quartz
will soon be encountered and it will then
be determined if the rich ore formed near
the surface has maintained it's values
with depth. In the company workings
there is the same good showing and al
together the Red Tops prospects are ex-
ceedingly bright.
The Saint Ives.
The strike on .artin's lease on the
Saint Ives is improving daily. The shaft
is down 81 feet ami there are 6 feet of ore
which will average $75 to $50 per ton
clear across. This strike is but 70 feet
from the Union Jack claim, into which
property the ledge goes, and from sur
face prospecting on the latter it is prob
able that it is even richer than where
opened on the Saint Ives.
The Jumbo.
Richard and Cowing of Tonopah, have
subleased from Shields and Parham on
the Jumbo. They had been at work but
a short time when they found very good
ore. 1t looks as if they we're breaking in
to rich shoot similar to the one found
near the main shaft and which averaged
$500 per ton. John McKane, one of the
owners, has taken a lease on 100 feet ad-
joining this lease.
Zinn Lease on the Jumbo.
Work is progressing satisfactorily on
the linn lease on the Jumbo and on Mon
day there was over carload of ore sack
ed and awaiting shipment. This ore will
average from $125 to $3.50 per ton.
Short Mining Notes.
v. P. Strange, the mining engineer,
will leave in a day or two to look after
his interests in lule Canyon.
On the Commonwealth the owners have
just put in collar set and will sink 40
| feet and then crosscut to the ledge.
The Combination people have taken up
the option on the O. K. Fraction which
they bonded some time ago from Jones,
Higginson, Martin and Towley.
VIM. Laing Mslcolmson and J. G.
Thrawles have gone to Tonopah to close
deal on group of claims five miles
south which they recently examined and
found of good prospective value. These
claims are owned by Booker, Everett
and Grimes, of Tonopah.

has closed it's run for this season
with an output of about 5000, 900
pounds. At one cent q pound
bounty. the amount authorized by
the last Legislature for the first
year, the sugar trust will be en-
titled to draw from the people Of
this state $4,000 bounty. A part
of the output however, was made
during January. On that part of
it the state is to pay only a half
cent a pound, but even at this
price the amount demanded will
exceed the appropriation made by

THE ROAD QUESTION.

At this season Of the year when
the roads are almost impossible
the question of better highways be-
comes a leading issue. All over
north Idaho it is the order of the
day. Long speeches are made and
whole columns of newspapers are
filled with suggestions as to the
best method of obtaining good
roads, yet the roads get no better.
In Nez Perez county, a petition
literally signed, was presented to
the board of county commissioners
asking that survey be made for
a system of roads to cost not more
than $4,000 nor less than s4O,-
600. This would certainly build
some good roads, but the question
would arise as to what part of the
county would get the improvement.
In this county, being much
larger than Nez Perez, it would re-
quire much larger sum to pro-
vide anything like satisfactory re-
lief and the same question would
arise as to which particular district
would most need the work.
That our roads are in most de-
plorable condition, no one will for
a moment attempt to deny, but
how to remove this condition with
out unlimited means is a question
that has baffled older and richer
counties than this one. Under
our present laws only six mills can
be levied for road purposes and
this amount spread out over
thousands Of miles Of road is hard
ly noticeable. The only way tt
raise funds would be by voting
bonds and while our county is il
the best OF condition financially
taxes all over the state are high
and it is exceedingly doubtful
such an issue would carry. Bal
roads like steep grades are natura
conditions here and, while ever,
effort should be made to improv
both, the people must expect t
contend with these difficulties fo
years to come just as the me-
countries have done, and howlin
and kicking at county officers wi
do no good.

who does not travel on pass, the
most any of them pay is less than
