So quickly did the tornado sweep
through North St Louis that the citi-
zens could scarcely comprehend what
had occurred. In the stiffness that fol-
lowed cries were heard on all sides az
the terror stricken persons ran about
the streets.
Not 2 telegraph. telephone or trolley
pole was left standing along the streets
swept by the tornado and trees were
piled in heaps. The path Of the tor

factories partially demolished and the
streets Uttered with debris.
A Broadway trolley car containing
eleven passengers was struck by fall

whereof we speak. The stock in this
company is bound to go higher, and
we now quote it at zoe. The late
strike made in the Quartzite about
30 feet from the Black Butte's side
lines is leading toward the mountain,
and from a telephone we have had
from L. L. Patrick, they have struck
a ledge eight feet wide averaging
1892, and surely that is good enough
for the most skeptical. To buy this
stock at present prices is a positive
snap, and all who don't send in their
orders at once will surely regret it.
In conclusion, we wish to state we
are at all times ready to give all the

TONOPAH BONANZA.
Ell. MimS& Co. Market Letter

The market this week showed un-
mistakable signs of manipulation, a
bear clique was organized to knock
Montana onopah stock on the an
nual report presented at the meeting.
1t is true the majority Of the public
expected a dividend and were I'M
aware of the fact that quite d nnn-
her Of important improvements had
been made that the management
deemed a whole lot more beneficial
for all the stockholders than declar-
ing a dividend. The wisdom Of this
action bv the directors will surely
show itself later on and all stock
holders will appreciate this one I'M
mistakable fact. Rather than pay a
few dividends and exhaust a surplus
in the treasury it is better to use the
money acquired from ore shipments
for the present nor advantageously
in developing the property than pay
ing one, two or three dividends and
then stopping. The Montana stock
declined when the result of the meet
ing was known, but Immediately on
the purchase of not more than two
or three thousand shares reacted and
reached the So mark and strong at
that. The new discovery just made
is far richer than anything so far en-.
c~ountefed, and w strongly advise
the purchase Of this, one Of the best
mines in Tonopah at the present
price.
Tonopah Common also recovered
and is now IS bid.
Midway and Belmont have beer
mentioned in our previous letters
and their purchase recommended a
the prevailing prices. The Midwa.
is liable to strike the famous Mac
donald ledge, and the day it does tn
stock will Immediately advance t.
60c or 65c whereas it can now b
bought at 40. Belmont is bed roc
in our judgment and a rise in thi
stock can take place at almost an
date.
Mcnamara showed signs Of eX
IRENE activity. The mine is lookin
well and as this stock is continual
going into stronger hands and tn
mine making such a good showing
purchasing it at current prices is a
tended with less risk than W. b.
fore.
Tonopah Extension, as we pr
dlcted in all our previous letters,
constantly getting scareer and Il
price is now Sl.30 bid. This is goir
to make a great mine and under Il
able management and strong dire
tory must sell higher.
The new superintendent of t
Tonopah Gold Mountain mining COZ
pany, Owen Owens, took charge
the property a few weeks ago; wo
on the tunnel on the east side is
ing pushed as fast as labor a do
and according to the expectations
Mr.. Owens he is bound to strike
ledge carrying large values by t

end Of the month. After looking
over the ground for a week or two
Mr.. Owens decided that the best re-
suits could be obtained On the east
side and devoting all his energies
to opening up this wonderful prop
erty. There 4 now six or eight
men working and by the first Of next
month there will be fifty. The stock
is greedily absorbed at present prices
and is considered an absolute bargain
at l8c.
Goldfield and Diamondfield con
tinue to disclose to the world their
wonderful wealth, and the new
strikes are the surprise of the best
mining experts, In most cases peo-
pie on their way to Goldfield cannot
believe what is told them, but On
their return from there are more
than satisfied that the reports are
not only true but are not exagger-
ated. Space will not permit us to
take up each property separately
and we will, therefore, only touch on
some and recommend the purchase of
the following:
Jumbo Mining company stock is in
trinsically worth 81 80 per share and
is selling for 81. BY the end Of the
year the Jumbo Mining company will
have s175, 600 10 the treasury and
300, 600 shares of treasury stock and
will not owe a dollar; draw your own
conclusions.
Goldfield Mining company stock
around 80 cents is another-Al pur-
chase. At the end of the year the
company will have close on to $50, 600
in the treasury and 800, 900 of treas
ury stock. As soon as the lease ex-
pires, which will be on the first of the
year, the company will Immediately
start to work themselves, and the
mine of the Goldtield Mining company
will be worked for the benefit OF the
stockholders. We consider it one OF
the best purchases in Goldfield.
The Red Top at l8c, Mohawk al
224c and Booth at l5c are all good
purchases and we advise buying then
at the prices named. Bulls and Bears
at 15c, Black Ants at l5c and Blue
Bull at 25c, can all be safely pur
chased.
The property Of the Columbi;
!, Mountain Mining company is lookin!
!, exceedingly well and work on til
tunnel is progressing nicely and it i
only a question of a few days befor
lodges will be struck carrying hig
values.
!, The property of the Sandstorl
Mining company gives promise Of
. well defined ledge of Is to 20 fee
wide, running right through tn
property. As soon as the leases &C
down deeper the result will be real
startling. 1t is true the immens

wives or some attentive female

mor-American humor, and funny
incidents graphically told. In fact.
it really is an American girl telling
you these funny and interesting
things and you find it highly inter
esting and enjoyable. The book isn't
full of statistics as to how high this

learn in your geography, nor is it full
of facts that you can read in any his

just the things you and / would ask
Miss McGary, it's young author, if
we could meet her and get her to

Mexicans, and have her tell just the
things we want to know and hear
about.
Miss McGary is a warm, active
Sunshiner in Brownsville, Tex.
where she lives, and / think the book
she has given the public is another
one of her Sunshine deeds. There is
nothing better that you can give a

any other gift, than a copy of this
