TONOPAH.COLDFIELD.
Condition of Affairs Suggests That
Stock Market Needs Attention.

Tonopah and Goldfeld are still boom
ing in all the exuberance of early life,
and from the later reports continue upon
a scale of magnitude in point Of ore
values heretofore unparalleled. Even
State Senator w. G.. Ralston, al expert
reputed to be ''cold nosed" in opinions
of a professional nature, is accredited
with the remark that his report, made
some time ago, and which was certainly
"bullish" enough in tone to suit the
friends of the camp, was too conserva-
tive. This makes a tenderfoOt in the
mining business at this end of the line
wonder what in the world he is up
against.
1t is only recently that the writer wal
treated to a special roast in the most
approved literary style OF a Western
mining camp for his temerity in ques-
tioning the discovery of a 4O-foot ledge
of ore which was said to u $1,000 per
tor. in gold, with stock in the mine at
321a cents on rush orders-"first come,
first served" This was a crusher, when
on top OF it comes the report of the
"Ralston-M Marks Ruggles' committee,
which the mining authority of the trio
now says is too conservative. In view
of such evidence one can only accept the
universal belief and join the chorus of
IL ~ Io& -, nh Ho1IEnlI of
the Nevada.
With such a backing it is about time
some one who knows something about
mining manipulation took hold OF the
market and resolved some orderly con-
dition OF affairs which might lead to
an active speculative demand out OF the
existing chaotic condition Of affairs

Untold Horrors Feared.

Moscow, November 22.-The excite
ment among the peasants in central
and southeastern provinces is spread
ing rapidly, and It is feared that it will
be impossible to suppress the move
ment which promises to develop into
a general uprising, bearing devastation
and untold horror to the whole coun-
try. The revolutionists among the
peasants are industriously spreading
the story that the imperial reform
manifesto really decreed a division OF
the lands, but that the mobiles. intelli-
gencies and Jews distorted It and took
all the freedom for themselves and the
peasants therefore have the right to
possess themselves Of the lands which
the emperor granted to them.

office of governor of Oklahoma. Is a

story at the White House as 10 how
Frantz got the job. 1t is asserted that
Frantzs reputation as a boxer was
known to the president when both
were members of the rough riders.
But as soldiers they had no oppor'
