Ell. Minis Go. Market Letter

The week passed has been quite
eVenttul in 0 than one instance.
Montana Tonopah has shown decided
strength and the stock has been
steadily absorbed at from 81. 22t to
Sl'25. The prospect of a dividend is
still uncertain but the ~concensus of
opinion is that it win be paid inside
of sixty days.
Belmont after being driven up to
around "a by the shorts, on account
OF the annual election. is again to be
had ! N the fifties and our advice is
to get in now and take the profit
that is sure to follow.
Midway has been attacked by the
shorts and on account of a large
block OF some 5000 shares sold here
the other day has shown decided
weakness, but we shall predict quite
a boom IN this stock within the next
sixty days.
Mcnamara shows the fine hand of
manipulation; the stock has had a
rise of some 6 or 7 cents in the past
week and u firm bought upward of
lO,O0O shares on what we would term
good orders. The working of the
mine. is progressing very favorably.
and Mr.. Clay Peters, the president,
assured n of our firm that things
are looking exceedingly well. The
stock sold as high as 25 cents, fol-
lowed by a natural reaction, but the
STOCK Is scarce and can hardly be
bought for less than % cents. The
management Of the Mcnamara are
surveying their ground with the idea
oil eventually selling some of their
ground for building purposes. Lots
Of the size of 3OxlO0 are to be laid Off
and offered at a near date.
Extension as usual is dormant. the
stock is scarce and the price firm;
some few shares can be bought
around IS.
United Tonopah on the strength of
recent strike is quite firm and a
lew thousand shares have changed
hands at Is cents.
Golddeld is still holding its own
and reports from there are very
satisfactory.
People are flocking to both Tono-
pah and Goldfeld in large numbers,
testing the capacity Of all the
OKeefe stages, and our prediction
about the population soon being in
the five or six thousands is about to
be verified.
