STOCK MANIPULATION
Lively Fight FOR Control Of

A lively fight for the control of the To-

the good reports continually coming along
from the front regarding the recent de-
velopment of ore in Ophir.
The stock has got the bulge ON them
so far, at one time selling as high as 80
per share. For some time past it has
been running fight, each party scoring
point now and then, the bulls succeed
ing, however, in gaining their lost
ground. How the contest will end de-
pends upon the financial vitality of the
clans at war, with the odds naturally
favoring the longs little, as they have
a mine at their back which looks highly
promising, to say the least.
Here is a winze down 100 feet in ore

few years ago it would have started the
widest kind of speculative market, and

MONKEY MOTION
New Type Of Engine Tested on
the Southern Pacific

A new type of engine, known as the
monkey motion pattern. which it is
claimed will revolutionize steam loco
motion on railroads was successfully OPP
Grated on the Southern Pacific yesterday,
when a train of 1,5O0 tons was run from
Ogden to Sparks, hauled by one of the
new engines. The new type of engine
was designed by Edgar M. Luckett of the
Southern Pacific. There are many ad-
vantages over the standard type claimed
for the monkey notion All the
mechanism is located on the sides of the
engine, making it easy of access. The
steam exhausts very rapidly and there
is no back pressure. 1t is estimated that
the new engine will save from rs to 40
per cent in coal consumption, being able
to run fifty-four miles with one tone of
coal, as against twenty-five to twenty
eight miles under the present system.
The standard engines now in use can be
changed to the monkey motion" with
but very little cost.

Crop Bulletin

For the week ending April II,
1905. The week was unseasonably
cold, the daily mean for the state be-
ing & to 10 degrees below normal,
with heavy frosts and ice in all dis
tricts. The minimum temperature
reported was 10 degrees at Sibley on
the morning of 14th. Except in
southern districts the precipitation
was light and mainly in form of
snow.
Conditions have been generally
favorable for farm work, and good
progress has been made finishing
seeding and blowing for corn, very
large acreage being in readiness for
planting. Growth of grass and
termination of seed has been retard-
ed by cold weather. Reports do not
show material injury to early seed
ed wheat, oats and barley from
effects of freezing. It is probable
that the earlier varieties of fruit
have been injured to some extent
especially in the southern half of the
state.
The general situation is favorable
and the season is still in the advance
of the average. The soil is in extra
good condition for working, with
sufficient moisture to start vegetation
with normal temperature. Farm
work is we'll advanced in all Sec
tons.
