The total mileage of the steam roads

ANENT THE RISE IN STOCKS.

There is balm in GIead. The ''shorts'' are covering. The "1ongs" are
adding to their stores. The mines of GOldfdd, Manhattan, Tonopah and Bull
frog are yielding ore of commercial value, a a rate that wipes nut all records
of other great mining camps in America at the same period of development.
The people of San Francisco have received their insurance moneys and ire re-
investing in mining stocks The banks and bankers of the East, finding money
easier and nothing in sight to block the countrys triumphant march of pros
penty, are assisting Wall Street to its feet again.
The result is electrical
men of finance on the change of conditions These easily represent the seni-
ment of the country. 1t is apparent that the prosperity that ws with the
Nevada mining camps up to the day of the San Francisco calamity has re-
sumed business at the old stand. Soon the levels which obtained on April II
will be regained.
There is still a big advance in the standard issues If Nevada to be expected
nothing daunted, the work of opening up properties as well as old ones, has
been prosecuted with undiminshed vigor, and the discoveries If new ore bodies
and the increase in the production of ore makes most of the standard stocks
worth today in excesso of so per cent above the price that ruled the day before
the San Francisco fire. The best financial talent in Godfed predicts that
stocks will be selling at a average of so per cent. above April II levels by the
LIST of December.
Investors are to be congratulated, particularly those who have patiently
held OF to their stocks during the early summer slump. 1t is apparent that this
year, as last, investors are going to make millions of dollars in Nevada securities
and because the profits in mining stocks are so tremendous and the percentage
of loss in mining investments are so smal-in fact being half of that in any
other commercial enterprise, according to stnhstns-the investment field in
which grows hourly, and it seems only a casef for investors to pick out a good
standard Nevada mining stock and lay it away for half a year or 50 to realize
anywhere, from so to 100 per cent profit.

A YEARS SHOWING in NEVADA MINES

area has been much extended, chiefly
to the north. The town has greatly in
creased in population and with compile
ton of the railroad now building will
become an important supply point.
Manhattan and Round Mountain, dis
covered within the year. are active and
give promise of great things.
Besides the camps mentioned and
tributary to each, are new mining local
tiles many of them already with excel
lent showing and where development
is going on without regard to the season.
A comparison of conditions in Nevada
today and as they were a year ago
brings out strongly the facts that fever
ish excitement, so prevalent during the
first half of 1905, has passed from the
main centers to outlying districts leav-
ing behind not disappointment but sue
cess; that development has been more
than justified and that a long period of
production from demonstrated ore
bodies may be looked for.-Los Angeles

B. ]. REILLY BUYS
STOCK OF e. MARKS O. CO.

The largest mercantile deal ever con-
summated in Goldfeld took place Thurs
day when the big dry goods and furni-
ture stock of e. Marks & Co. was pur-
chased by B. ]. Reilly & Co. The con-
sideration is not stated but the stock
carried by Marks & Co. is the largest in
town and the price must have been well
up into six figures.
Mr.. Reilly is we'll known in Goldfeld
as the owner of the famous Reilly lease
on the Florence and will undoubtedly
make a big success of his new venture.
Al. Anderson, representing the interests
of his brothers-in-law, II. T. Suhr and s.
Hyman. both of San Francisco and in
terested with Mr.. Reilly in the purchase,
has been selected as manager of the
new firm. Mr.. Anderson has been as
ISOLATED with Levi strauss & Co. of San
Francisco for seven years and has also
been manager of several of the largest
dry goods and mems clothing depart
ments in California.
f. Marks & Co., the retiring firm, are
closing out all of their stores and will
establish a bank at Tonopah and also
engage in the mining business in Gold
field in the near future, being heavily
interested here as well as in the other
camps of the state. They desire to ex-
press appreciation to the public for
their generous patronage and bespeak
a continuance of it for the new firm.

PROS AND CONS OF
THE LEASING SYSTEM

The leasing system, as worked out t.
day in Nevada, has. like most things. its
good and its bad points-but 1t fills the
present need as possibly nothing else
could do.
1t is applicable only to rich deposits
at or neal the surface, and IT certainly,
whenever successful, diminishes rapidly
and extravagantly the gross value of
mines SO opened. On the othef hand, as
recently shown at more than one prop
erty at Goldfeld, the result has been to
demonstrate values hitherto unsus-
pected. and to fill company treasures
with funds to follow exposed pay shoots
TO deeper levels. Shareholders have thu
been very greatly the gamers in fact,
of wealth they owned, but did not
know 1t.
1t is rue that l~easers. when they
open high values generally butcher" a
mine. at least as to those portions of
the vein they can reach within thei.
time limit; unless in the g cement
methods be stipulated. They have a
right to get all they can in any way
they can-and owners who grumble are
not playing the game.
Leaser7 are doing much fo- Nevada.
They have no time to was =, and they
are making strike after strike, pening
II Ire after mine, IN a way that has no
Iard"el The system is in a way waste
fi:l. but it is vastly saving of time
