Condition Of The Times.

R. G. Dun & Co cover the conditions
of the day with the following excellent
showing:
Mercantile payments are fairly
prompt, money is easy and abundant,
while confidence nm the future is the
ruling sentiment, The decline IN Wall
street to the lowest average for six
most active railway securities since
last January has had no perceptible in
f1uence on business, and railway earn
ings continue to make favorable COM
parsons with last years figures, the
Aearly returns for April showing gain
of 81 per cent.
Manufacturing activity is undated,
the leading industries reporting a
minimum percentage of idle machinery,
and pig iron production is expected to
establish new record of over 2,OOO,-
900 tons for the current month. For
teign commerce has again shown an
increase at this pert over the same
week last year, imports gaining 81, 16O,-
O6a. For the first time in many weeks
she comparisons as to exports was I'M
favorable, but the decrease was only
1915, 1863.
Real estate transfers are very heavy
in all parts of the country, and in adj
1ition to the large amount of building
operations in progress the number of
new permits indicate that much more
structural work is contemplated.
Little interruption from labor contro-
VERSES is still cause for qualification.
A little .irregularity is Noticed in re-
ports from leading centers of the iron
and steel industries, but it was not to
be expected that production and con-
sumption would continue to establish
new highwater marks indefinitely.
There is still great pressure for
quick delivery of structural steel for
bridges, buildings and cars, while practi-
cally all forms of railway equipment
are in larger demand than supply.
After the stimulation of the special
sales last week decrease in activity
for the dry goods market was to be
excepted. In the primary markets for
cottons a few buyers still purchase for
distant delivery, but as rule opera
lions are again coEfned to current re-
Quirements.
The advancing raw material strength
ems woolens, in which duplicate bust
ness arrives more freely. In all textile
lines the mills are now we'll engaged.
New England shoe shops are receiving
additional fall orders, the prospect now
being for as good season as in 1908.
While the hide market has lost none of
its strength, it is less active but there
is a notable scarcity of country hides,
which are especially firm.
Failures this week in the United
states are 1877, against PIP last week,
2O4 the preceding week and 236 the
corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number Fl, against

DISTRICT JUDGE AND
 REAL ESTATE BROKER

NOTHING retards the development of anew mining country so much as does unnecessary and unscrupulously mani pulated mining litigation especially when the courts are known to be cor rupt. The present legal conditions as to the validity of title to a majority of mining locations in this division would notexist had not Judge Wickersham. by personal participation therein, en- couraged the location of mining claims without first making a discovery of mineral on the ground. By so doing he was either laying the foundation for future immense mining litigation, or he was ignorant of the provisions of the mining law, which he so readily inform ed the Senate committee in 1903, that he did not wished changed because ''it is we'll settled code; everybody knowswhat itis and what it means. 7
 1t is a fact Wickersham has secured property in his division of considerable value which he would not have had the opportunity to acquire had he not been district judge of the division. 1t is matter of record that officials connect ed with; his administration have receiv- ed his official protection in their illegal grating from the government treasury. It is a fact that he upholds and pro- tects his local representative, Commis- sioner J.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
 MINING STOCK JOBBER

TIE corrupt political parasites, who, through tricky manipulations are hold: ing onto their federal positions in Alas la, are doing more to retafd and tl1wart. the advancement of the district than most people seem to realize. When ever self -aggrandizing monopolists ob-- tain official power, the peoples inter-. 'ests are naught to them. Exalted fed. eral officials, drawing their mainten- ance from the government, should be debarred, during their term of office, from personally engaging in commer- cial enterprises involving rights, the controversy over which. the laws force before them for adjudication. Nor. should be permitted to remain in office when it is demonstrated they are use ing their official power and prestige to further their private financial ventures in the commercial arena.
 Fl1is abuse of official power, and the self beneficial use made of the prestige created therefrom, is most thoroughly brought to light by the public exposure. of the corrupt administrative manipu- latiOns of Gov. Brady and Judge Wick ersham. The acton of Brady in pos ing as a mining expert and organizing stock mining company might be con-. asidered legitimate, but for him to use shis official signature, in his company's prospectus, as guarantee to the in- vesting public that the purchase of the stock is safe and lucrative invest ment, should be sufficient grounds for his immediate removal from the exalt- cd position as chief executive of the district.
 The fact that he assured the govern ment of his complete separation from the Reynolds-Alaska Development Co.,,

Silver Bow

Mr.. Robert McClusky has returned
from Silver Bow, where he has been
located for the past six months. Mr..
McClosky has been a prospector all
his life and his reticence would indi-
cate that the Silver Bow district did
moi contain a mine were it not for
the exceptionally high assays made
from the samples brought with him.
Mr.. MeClosky was in the Silver Bow
district before it had a name and his
attention was attracted thither by the
strikes then being made at Kawich.
He was in search of water and picked
up a piece of float which banned
quite freely and from which he got
an assay OF $S3. He Immediately
began a saerch for the ledge and
has now uncovered on the 'Jennie
X" "Pickard" and Tramp" a
twenty five-foot ledge of stephanite
that will average in the neighborhood
of $40 clear across Mr.. J. A. Ma
gill, the broker, is Incorporating a
strong company to handle these three
claims. Work will be commenced
this week and shipping ore will no
doubt be sacked within a short time.
Mr. A. T. Johnson, former super
intendent of the Mizpah mine, will be
president of the company and a
strong directorate will manage the
affairs of the company.
On the COgan, Clark & Ferran
property the shaft is down about sew
enty feet, and rich ore has been en-
countered, five feet going SAG clear
across the ledge on an average test.
Beautiful photos of the town are on
exhibition in Mr.. Magill's office,
showing the tents among the trees,
and a stream of seventy inches of
water running through the town.
with such good rich ore in sight
n a wealth of vegetation, shade
and running water Ca stream
eight miles long of pure mountain
water), Silver Bow will surely make
an ideal mining camp.

Harry Epstine Our Friend

Harry Epstine, trainmaster for the
Sacramento division of the Southern
Pacific Railroad is in Carson, his old
home, on his way back to Truckee,
where he will return to his duties
after al intermission of sixty DAYS,
nearly all of which was spent in the
southern mining districts.
In speaking of the new camps, Mr..
Epstine waxed eloquent. He said:
"Bullfrog is quiet at present on ac-
count of the heat, but the mines are
looking well. Two hundred men are
employed with pick and shovel. Rhy-
olite will be a big town in the fall.
Goldfeld is a little quiet at present,
but strikes are being made every day
and with the advent of the railroda
Goldfelu will be a hummer.
Silver Peak is attracting a great
deal of attention. Mining men from
all parts Of the country are looking
at the properties there, and a good
future is assured for the camp. Ka-
wich has the biggest surface proposi-
ton / ever saw, and with a little more
development work it will become a
good camp. Silver Bow, the latest
find, is an exception to the other des-
ert camps, for the reason that it has
plenty of wood and water. All the
town lots of Silver Bows main streets
were sold at Tonopah in a few DAYS,
six blocks going in a week.
"Tonopah never looked better. The
Jim Butler and the North Star will
soon be sending out ore, making
shippers in the camp."-News

Flood Strikes Il

James G. Flood, son of Jim"
Flood, of Comstock fame, and Messrs.
McNear and Rouse, whose fathers

a few months ago to take a flyer in
some claims les Goldfeld and now
they are glad they did, for a ledge
has been uncovered on the property
which is LITERALLY alive with free
gold. A tunnel is now being driven
to cut the ledge at a depth of 100
feet. The ground is known as the
Goldfeld Moose and is situated -four
miles east of G%oldfeld, on the east

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
ERECT GUIDE POSTS.

The last legislature passed a bill
authorizing the Boards of County
Commissioners to establish sign
boards or guide posts, on the desert,
directing p%rospectors or wayfarers
to the nearest water and the nearest
town or settlement. Thus far but
little has been done toward carrying
out this most excellent provision.
Many a mar has died OF thirst in that
terrible region between Bullfrog and
Death Valley, when but a short dis
lance from water, owing to the exact
location of it being unknown. Part
of that section lies in Nye county,
and we suggest that our excellent
Board OF County Commissioners send
some reliable person down there to
select places where iron signs with
explicit directions should be placed
and that they act as soon as possible
upon his report. No time should be
lost, for the heat in that desolate
region is intense and, in fact, unbear-
able at this time Of the year, and a
few guide posts may be the means of
saving the lives Of many prospectors.
