RICH FIND OF ORE.
Eight Carloads Shipped From Cornu-
copia 10 Sumptcr Smeltcr Is Very
High Grade.

w. G. r. Pruett, city editor of the
Baker city Herald, who is in the city
today says that one of the richest
finds Of ore yet uncovered In Baker
county has just been struck i'm the
Cornucopia district.
Eight carloads have just been haul
ed on wagons from Cornucopia to Ba-
ker city and shipped from there over
the Sumpter Valley railway to the
Sumpter smelter for treatment.
While II is impossible to learn the
exact assay Of the ore, 1t is known to
be remarkably rich. as 1t costs almost
$40 per ton to haul it out from the
Cornucopa district and ship II to
Sumpter. one four-horse team can
haul but one ton over the mountain
roads, and as the management of the
mines will not give out the assay. the
exact value of the ore can only be
guessed at

NEvADA's GOLD CAMPS.
Tonopah and GoldfieId Richest in the
World.

Tonopah and GoIdfeld, Nevada, are
undoubtedly two of the richest mining
camps in the world. Over 81, 800, 900
worth of ore has been shipped from
ore mine alone within the last year or
so, the ore going from $l00 to $500 a
ton with vast quantities in sight. The
wonderful richness of ore in developed
properties, and the assurance that the
entire surrounding region is full of
mineral" offers the greatest of induce
ments to miners and investors. TOno-
pah now has a population of over 5000
and is growing rapidly, while the
towns in the Goldfeld district have
nearly 5000 people. All branches of
business are represented in these
towns, and prices are not eXorbitant.
The Tonopah railway now gives regu-
lar service to both camps, and travel
is 10 longer a matter of extreme diff

No miner or investor should overlook
Tonopah and Goldfeld. While marvel

than probable that finds as rich will
be made I'm the future, and the man
on the ground is the one who viii
benefit from these strikes. Several
millionaires have been made by these
camps, fpr all they are so new, and
many men have accumulated comfort

RISE FOLLOWS
OPENING DROP
Speculative Forces Control the Stock
Market.
TENDENCY TO DlSTRUST
CONSERVATIVE TRADERS PRO
CEEDING WITH CAUTION.

New York, March 1S.-The movement
of the stock market today indicated
the activity of contending forces in the
speculation, and the contest between
them was rather inconcIusive. The
closing was irregular and not far from
last nights level after having been
considerably below that in the early
dealings and generally above on the
rally. Stocks were freely sold during
the early dealings. and the recovery
seemed to be due TO profit taking by
the bears, who were disposed to close
up their contracts Oh three days reac-
ton preliminary to the Sunday inter
val in the market. The showing by the
| banks in their weekly statement which
had been counted upon by the bears to
induce selling and thus afford them an
opportunity 10 cover, proved 10 be not
so weak as had been feared. so that
the buying by the shorts wos of the
greater effect.
The weight of opinion is in favor of
somewhat higher rates for money. But
offerings of funds by the trust COM
panieS at the higher rates may be eX
pected. The usual discussion is thus
invited of the growing part played by
these institutions in the money situa-
ton as a whole. apart from the show
ing by the banks themselves. Foreign

Speculative sentiment showed itself
distrustful of the market from the
opening of the week, but there was
good resistance 10 the moderate pres
sure during the early part of the week,
in the absence of any unfavora bic
prospect in the general business indus
trial and financial conditions. With
the rise in the call loan rate for money
the reactiOnary tendency assumed the
upper hand and pressure to sell over
weighted the market. There is a large
stocks which has held conservative
opinions on the market for some time.
and professional traders have constant
ly tested the market to find a yielding
tendency. These operations had
proved so often unsuccessful necessi-
tating the covering of short contracts,
at a loss, that the bears had grown
timid and were keeping out of the mar
ket The power of the market to resist
short sales and to absorb the heavy
profit taking from time to time. and
the constant development of new points
of strength served to convince the
skepticaI that stocks were being taken
out of the market by substantial hold
ing powers and gave color to the many
rumOrs constantly retailed of accumu-
latiOnS of many stocks for purposes or
control and ultimate plans of combl-
nation and readjustments of relations
which were expected to increase the
values of properties. The bond market
has been less active and there has been

SENSATIONAL ORE FROM THE
CARRIE MACK.

This field is now being exported and
conditions are being sized up by rep

a view of making this valley a great
zinc smelling center. Idaho has re-
ceived attention, and so have Montana
and Nevada, and il is learned from
persons who have been given a tip

ent year Will witness the erection of
smelters somewhere in this valley de-
signed to handle all the zinc-Iead ores
and concentrates produced within a
radius of several hundred miles from
Salt Lake city. Certain preliminary
details of the undertaking which are
now being rounded into form compel
the Withholding of names at this time,
but there is everything to indicate
that the curtain can be raised and de-
tails given during the next few weeks,
at the outside.
The science of handling ores con-
tanning a combination of lead, silver
and zinc has been worked out to such
a fine point during the last two or
three years that no difficulty is eX-
perienced now in finding a market for
rock which previously was charged up

positive and official announcement is
made that a smelter is going up, nu-
merous mills will be started in the
