cry of the market in Wall street proves
that these have been absorbed and that
the market is again in a healthy con-
dition.

when Wall street is depressed the east

cident with a healthy market in New
York.
Back of 1t all, however, is the fact
that the mines of Goldfeld, Manhat-
tan, Bullfrog and Tonopah are improv-
ing daily beyond the most enthusiastic
hopes of Nevada "rooters." and the
output from these districts for the cur
rent year will double and more probably
treble that of any former twelve-month.
The progress of development has been
marked by greater discoveries than ever
before chronicled, and the production
from all camps is constantly growing.
The shipments from Goldheld now ag-
gregate from $500 to 5000 tons per
month, or more than $4,000 monthly;
Tonopah is maintaining it's record of
over $4,000, 900 yearly. the output from
the Tonopah Extension mine for the
past week having been in excess of $50
tons; the mines of Manhattan are yield
ing plethorically, the Jumping Jack
having sent out over $4,000 in ship
ments last month in addition to adding
substantially to its tremendous reserve
of milling ore; in all parts of the dis
trict new strikes are being made and
the large companies, including the Man
haitian Consolidated. Stray Dog. Indian
Camp, Pine Nut, Mustang. Little Grey,
Consolidated Extension, Dexter and
others, are prosecuting exhaustive plans
of exploitation of their respective prop
critics along lines that show the conf
dence mine managers have in the flu
ture of the camp; and Bullfrog is daily
becoming greater by reaso of new dis
coveries and the aggressive plan being
followed by mine owners in opening the
immense deposits of high grade mill
ing ores that are so plentiful in the
southern camp.
The decline in Nevadas from the day
of the San Francisco catastrophe to the
18th of July averaged about 35 per
cent, and, inasmuch as the mines have
improved at least 25 per cent. on an
average. the most experienced men of
finance arrived at the conclusion about
the 18th of July that the average of
Nevada stocks was good for a general
advance averaging from SO to rs per
cent.
The advance of the past two weeks
is nus accounted for. and 1t appears
certain that within the next three
weeks the high level that obtained on
the day before the San Francisco fire
will have been passed and stocks will
be selling by the first of October at
