AS the Ak-Sar-Ben limitations draw TO
close, Grand Mufti Bennett, Gus Henze
and others who have charge of the Foun-
tain of Youth are exerting special efforts
to make the Monday evening sessions in
teresting. The average attendance at the
limitations this year has exceeded that OF
any year since the organization of Ak-Ssr-
Ben, and II the reports already received
may be taken as a criterion this years fall
festivities will be better than ever. Every
one connected with Ak-Sar-Ben this year
is up and doing and conditions in the city
and state are such as to auger a grand
festal celebration when the king enters
lis favored city this fall.
One of the special features at the den
tomorrow evening will be the entertain
ment of nearly 100 citizens from Broken
Bow. The delegation will be headed by
Mayor Walter A. George. who has been
commanded to be present by Mayor Dahl
man and Samson. The Broken Bow crowd
will be met at the depot and escorted to
the den by a committee representing the
knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben. A royal time Is
promised for tomorrow evening at the
den.

The wheat market at the opening was
decidedly weak Initial quotations on
Nav were off 1sG5sc to slG7sc, at S1$4GS2.
The chief bearish influences came from
abroad. A cablegram was received from
an English statistician telling of addi-
tionaI rains in India. and giving a revised
estimate on the total wheat crop of Aus
traIia, which showed an increase over
figures previously given. Shipments from
Argentina for the week were reported to
be a trifle larger than for the correspond

scHWAB's NEVADA INVESTMENT
1t Is Figured That He Now Has Paper
Profit of 100000.

Charles NJ Schwab has paper profits
in Tonopah, GOldfield and Bullfrog gold
stocks of $3.50 900. His total investment
is believed to have been less than 81, 000-
600, says the Boston News Bureau.
He secured his first interest in Tono-
par by the purchase Of 100000 shares out
stock of the TonOpah EtenSiOn Gold Min
ing company at 50 cents per share. This
stock sold last week in New York at SD
per share.
Mr.. Schwab contemplates a consolida-
ton of sixteen or seventeen properties
in TOnopah, Goldfield and Bullfrog. The
first step in this consolidation of gold
properties was the organization of the
Montgomery Shoshone Consolidated
Mines company, which combines the
Montgomery Shoshone, Polaris and Rands
Crystal companies in the BuIlfrog dis
tTict-
We understand that the big consoIida-
ton cOntemplates the placing of the fol
4 lowing properties under one manage
ment; Tonopah, TonOpah Extension,
Golden Anchor, McKane Co, Midway
Co, Red Rock Co, TOnopah & Pittsburg,
Belmont Extension. GOIdfieids: Flor
ence, Jumbo Co, Red Top Co. Gold
fields Mining, Diamondfield Co. and
Jumbo Extension. BullfrOg; MontgOm-
ery-ShOshOne. POlaris, RandS-CrystaI,
Gibraltar, Tramps.
The new company will probably be
called the Schwab Exploration & Mining
company, with Mr.. Schwab as president
and d B. GilliS, vice president
Mr.. Schwab does not control all of the
above properties, but he is in negotia-
ton for the control Of 81 per cent of the
stock of the companies he does not con-
troll
Mr. Schwab ha5 recently closed a TWEEN
ty-five-year contract with the American
Smelling & Refining company for the
treatment of the ores of all his COM
panies at a price under the figure paid
for smelling by the TOnopah Mining
company. This contract with the smelt-
ing company was only negotiated after
Mr. SChwab had decided to build his OWL
Smelters-
This smelling contract will be turned
over to the new company without con-
sideTatiOn although it is considered q
valuable asset.
The defined Nevada gold fields. includ-
inf TOnOpah, Goldfields, Bullfrog and
Manhattan are $50 miles long and 20 miles
wide
Tonopah was discovered in 1901 and the
above camps have since produced $40, 000,-
600 in gold. The first year TOnOpah was
discovered it produced SS,000-000 in gold
and for the second and third years pro

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business Is Good and Market |:
GROWING Broader.

Following the holiday business was
quite lively on change. During the day
total of 5000 shares of stock, with a
selling value of S25,943. 70, changed hands.
The market was generally strong and
buOyant at the opening, and, with the ex-
.ceptiOn of two or three stocks, which We're
shaded a little toward the close, moth
ing suffered. In fact, most of the parti-
Cipants in the trading gave splendid ex-
hibitiOns of strength, even where the Of
ferings were large. In other words, the
market is growing broader every day.
Ajax sold at SOC to 3014c, Beck Tunnel
moved up to 59c. Carisa passed the BIC
mark while May Day fluctuated between
19c and zoe, closing at 1870. Uncle Sam
was strongest at the start, when it sold
at PIE It went at 40c to 4012c at the
close. while New York, which was the
heaviest trader of the day, was advanced
from &c to 2SAC. Grand Central was
steady at 1888. Mammoth brought S1.OT1z
and Victoria S2.25 Columbus COnsOlidat-
ed was practically unchanged at $3.50 and

persistent that. a consolidation will be
effected between the Tonopah Mining
company, Belmont Mining company
and Jim Butler Mining company
All these properties are owned and
controlled by the same parties. In the
event that this consolidation is effect
ed it is believed that SO will be cheap
for Belmont and s. for Jim Butler.
It is almost a certainty that the Bel
mont and Tonopah companies, at least,
will consolidate and it is believed by
many that they will include in the con-
solidation the Jim Butler, although this
is not certainty.
1t is also rumOred that on the 900
foot level of the Belmont the biggest
and richest ledge of the Tonopah Min
ing company has been caught.
The sharp advance in Belmont is
supposed to be due TO the heavy pur-
chases now being made by eastern
buyers. which gives credence to the
consolidation of the two companies
first named. Both the companies have
the same officers.
Belmont sold here today for So and
Jim Butler rose to Size bid. West End
sold here for 1925. These are phenom-
email rises.

UNCLE SANS STRIKE.
Main Ore-BearIna Channel of Prop
erty Is Evidently Tapped.

Acting Manager James Chapman re-
turned from Tintic yesterday morning
after having inspected the new ere
body recently encountered in the Wine
below the 500-foot level on the east
or May Day side of the great pOrphyry
dixie that traverses the Uncle Sam Ter
ritory Mr.. Chapman reports that the
ore is of a fine shipping grade and that
nothing has yet occurred to give any
idea of the limits Of the shoot. 1t is
hugging into the dixie and, judging from
appearances at this time. the main and
permanent ore-bearing channel in that
side of the mine has been dropped into.
Other portions of the mine are look
ing fine. also, and the prospects for a
prosperous year could hardly be bet
ter than they are at the present time.
During the week ending Thursday
night five carloads of crude ore and
two carloads OF fine concentrates We're
shipped to market and there will be
several more shipped between now and
the end of the month.
