MINING MARKET OUTLOOK
Present Depression in Prices
Should Not Brighten Holders.

oHOulu NOT FflSnLeIl HOIuefS.
Dealings in Tonopah and Goldheld
stocks continue steady and the trans
actions on the two boards show an
undiminisbed interest in the two
great camps. But prices were low,
with no definite reason for the slump
from any quarter, says the Mining
and Engineering Review.
The lack Of news from the Tonopah
camp, due to the r~eticence of the
managers, has had dampening effect
on the stocks. That, coupled with
the fact that there seems to be a
disposition on the part Of certain
operators to bear the market until
they can eel enough of the stocks
now being sold at bedrock prices to
enable them to dictate hereafter the
policy Of the companies, may account
for the depression.
The Review stands alone in the ex
preston Of a definite and firm con
viction that those who are brave
enough to hold their stocks will ben
eft materially il the future. That
conviction was formed when the
writer personally examined the big
mines Of Tonopah, not specifically,
but underground, where millions of
dollars were seen to be represented
by big Lodges of rich ore which would
have astonished the world at any
previous period in the worlds history
Of mining.
The reputation Of the Mining and
Engineering Review for accuracy,
which has been built up and lealously
guarded for many years, IS at stake
on the opinion expressed so often
that the mines of Touopah would rival
those of the great Comstock lode,
and that the stocks of the leading
companies, bought at the present
low prices, would make fortunes for
the holders in the future. That pre-
diction stands today as forcibly as
when first uttered two years ago.
The present depression in prices
should not brighten holders or deter
investors in Tonopah stocks. The
situation may be explained in a few
words. The men who hold big inter
ests aud who are well posted on the
situation, know well what the in
triusic values OF the stocks are. They
are in no hurry to explain to the in
vesting public what these values rep
resent. Gradually they are absorb.
ing the stocks at the low prices
which their own manipulation, or
that of their agents, have caused.
The public has been specializing
blindly. The Review now emphasizes
its former advice, to buy Tonopahs
at present prices and to hold for
future profits.

At the Park.

There was a full house last night
at the Park theater to witness the
second production of The Man From
California; The cleverness of the
play is being proved by the crowds
that it attracts. The versatility of the
company is being proved nightly.
Playgoers will learn with regret that
in a few nights two of the best play
ers of the company will leave. Enrol
and Gross, the comedy actors. In
their stead Manager La Vern an
nounces that he will procure the ser
vices of Lane and D'Avra. two well
known show people, who appeared in
the Star theater last winter. The
work of the two new people was well
liked in their previous work and it is
thought that they will secure a hit
with their audiences when they APP
pear. The Man From California"
will be produced tonight and for to-
morrow night a change is announced.
There will be no show Friday night,
as Manager Tavern will take his
company to Waitsburg to assist in the
A. O. L. w. picnic. Also there will be
no matinee on Saturday afternoon but
as usual Saturday night show will
be offered.

Effect of Army Routine.

Visitors to army headquarters on
Governors Island often notice that Of
ticers have a habit of referring to the
written or printed record for the most
trifling questions of fact. They never
rely upon memory for even unimpor-
tant matters of routine which civilians
would no more think Of forgetting than
hardened commuter would think of
forgetting the tipe of his morning
train to the city. Ask an officer in
the adjutant generals or quartermas-
ter's department, for instance, where
the First Battalion Of the Sixteenth In
fantry is and he will consult his rec
Ords before answering, even when a
letter to the commanding officer of the
battalion is lying addressed on his
desk.
The other day visitor to the island
asked an officer high in command what
time the parade of troops took place
next morning. The man in khaki look
ed at his printed copy of the general
orders before answering: Ten
O'clock" Yet the parade had been 60
ing on every day for mcItns right un-

To me as 1t flies, l find.
Mothers gone, but still often
Find myself, when troubles nigh,
Halt expecting her to soften

Years, but still I see her rocking,
Holding me upon her breast,
Both her arms about me locking,
Setting all my fears at rest.
Years, but still hear her telling
Nc in voice 10 low and kind,
While my tears are swiftly yelling,
Soothing like, There, never mind"
All my boyish troubles vanished
When she spoke those words to me.
All my tears were quickly banished,
Soon l slumbered peacefully.
OFT wish when woes beset me,
And grim worries now find,
That old Father Time would let me
Hear her say, There, never mind"
