THE SHIRLEY SHAKERS.
Remnants OF society That Was Es-
tablished In 1903.

Within a mile of the town of Shirley.
in Massachusetts,, forty miles from
Boston, is q little remnant of 4 once
ilourishng society OF Shakers estab-
lished in the year 1898 with mem
bership Of forty-four adults and TWEEN
ty-two youths and children. Mother
Ann had visited this neighborhood sew
cral times before the church was final
" established. She was the guest of q
prosperous farmer named Elijah
Wildes, who eventually donated his
farm as the nucleus of the large pos
sessions owned later by the Shakers.
The Wlldes house remained standing
until two or three years ago. and visit
ors to The Shaker settlement We're
shown the room in which Mother"
Ann preached, and also the room in
which she was concealed one night
when a band of men from the village
appeared at the farm bent on mobbing
the hercticai Ann, whose doctrines
were regarded by some OF the Shirley
ties as little short of monstrous and
evil 10 the last degree.
But Elijah Wildes and his wife chung
to the new faith. and her Shirley settle
ment finally grew into a prosperous
colony Of more than 100. owning above
$500 acres of land in common, besides
a church, dozen or more large and
snlenddly built brick houses. great
barns. n dairy, mill and shops Of
various Finds. A thriftier or more in
dustrious class of people never inhabit-
ed the earth. Nor can this singular
sect be surpassed in exquisite cieanli-
ness. Tie interior Of their homes, like
the exterior, is severely plain. but clean
and orderly TO the last degree.
The world Of fashion gives them no
concern. for their dress Is the same
year in and year out In former years
they had distinctive form of dress FOR
both mon and women, and this dress
was very similar to that worn by the
old time Quakers, and. while this dis

Elder John Whitley, now an old man
of eighty-s six and paralyzed. has been

working, three men are now employed
by the company prospecting the
ground, and active development has
commenced, and you a safely buy
this stock at the prices.
Red Top, we understand, has made
a very rich strike, a ledge carrying
values of $500 a ton having been dis
covered. The stock around the pres
ent figures, is a safe purchase, as the
milling ore alone, not counting this
latest strike, is enough to make the
stock worth double what it is now
selling for.
VIZ have been appointed fiscal
agents of the Jupiter. Goldfeld min
ing company, and will offer treasury
stock for development purposes at
the extremely low price Of Zoe per
share. This property consists OF
seven claims southeast of the Port
land group; surface showings are the
most promising, and we can eonsci
entiously recommend the purchase o
this stock; prospectus will be mailed
on application.
Our Goldfield branch has incorpo
rated two new companies in the Ida
Valley, the showings indicate a grant
property, MIR. Chas. Sutro, of Sai
Francisco, has been elected presi
dent of one of these companies; more
details and the price of the treasur.
stock will be given in our next marke
letter. In the meantime our Gold
field branch will answe all inquire

of the best buys on the market, buy

Reports from Goldield, Diamond
field and Bullfrog, + still Of the
most encouraging character; another
strike of considerable Importance
has been made on the Sandstone,
without doubt the banner claim at
Goldfeld. The best posted mining
men in the world predict that this
and the Columbia Mountain Group OF
claims will turn out to be, as we have
always predicted, the best in that
new district. The demand for Sand
storm is immense, from all over the
east and west, constant kilograms
are received by us inquiring about
this stock, and we point with pride
to the fact that we placed the only
so, 900 shares of Treasury stock ever
offered to the public in San Francisco
and all who purchased at those fig
ures can now double their money, 1t
is hard to say what Sandstone stock
can go to but we predict that 1T will
sell much higher.

stock we are now offering will sell

particularly true of Tonopah Com

about it in our mind that the acting

definitely settled this one fact, that
Tonopah and Goldfeld stocks will in
a short time be in great demand and
a big business done in them.

as ten dollars our house having dis

further.
