PROFITS ARE MANY MILLIONS
Winnings of GOldfieId Stock Investors
Make Large Figures.

GOLDFIELD, Nov 19.-The profits
that have accrued to investors in Gold
field stocks by the recent rise in the
price of these securities is variously
estimated here at from $4,000. 600 to
500, 600, 000- The largest profits were
made by those who acquired their hold
ings at the promotion period of the
various mining companies, when stocks
that are now selling for dollars were
selling for cents. Red Top, which is
selling around IS a share, was sold
here originally at 10 cents. Mohawk.
which is selling around $19, was sold
to spectators and investors at % cents.
Jumbo, which is now commanding IS
a share, cost the original holders 25
cents. Forty other stocks of Goidheld.
Tonopah and Bullfrog, originally pro-
NOTED on basis of % cents net to
the companies have supplied as many
examples.
The tremendous profits earned are
now seeking investment here, and are
being placed in new companies operat-
ing in surrounding districts The

here is all going in this direction

Stock Pnces on Curb Advance
Beyond Board Offers


Twenty thousand shares of the
Golddeld Mining Company were sold
n the san Francisco Stock Board yes
closed at S2-2o bid with very heavy
sales. Silver Pick stock also took an
upward trend. 1t opened in the board
at SlSO and closed at 50. Then, on
the curb, after the informal session
e&as closed at o'clock. there was an
other rally and the selling price was
boosted to $3.50. The curb sale was
large.
Red Top and Jumbo stocks also
made gains. Both opened at s4.20. Red
Top climbed TO $4.32 bid Jumbo
reached $3.50 in sales Great Bend
which had somewhat sensational
spurt last week. again started on the
up grade. 1t sold for $1.35 at the open
ing and the curb raised it to s1.55.
These happenings were the prime
features Of interest yesterday in Bush
street, where. under the high pressure
of mining stock dealings on a vast
scale, champagne now runs like water
and those who dream of making big
money are legion.
But amid the clangor of the Ex-
change. the whirl and turmoil of ex-
citement attendant upon the calling of
and auctioning of shares in more than
400 southern Nevada mines, and the
deals in the perennial Comstocks. there
was another piece of information that
made the friendly disposed brokers
smile. George Gunther. perhaps the
most popular man about the board, was
discovered to be the proud father of
q boy, who was born in Elliott Park
Sunday. Almost enough champagne to
float a ship was quaffed in honor of
the youngster, who already has voice
that could be heard all over the Ex-
change. OF all the prizes of the boom
ing stock season Gunther was voted
to have drawn the best.
Some good news went the rounds in
reference to the stock of the Bulls and
Bears Mining Company. which was
suspended in the board on November
Il. That corporation was supposed to
be out of the ring but buyers of stock
were informed yesterday that they
could get cents share for the stock
of the company that was held by
them. No explanation was afforded.
There are assets of some value. In
that fact is supposed to reside the So
luton of the puzzle
The cause of the rise of Silver Pick
stock is supposed to be a rumor that
ore worth $l3 a ton has been uncov-
cred. This may or may not be true,
but it was sufficient to attract atten-
tion TO the mine with the happily
chosen name. The full story of the
fluctuations of the mining market is
told elsewhere in the published list of
sales.
This market" said President Rug
giles of the Stock Exchange, lis differ
ent from any comstock market of the
old time. With more than 400 stocks
to be called daily it is not to be ex-
pected that the rise or fall of the
leaders will invariably carry the hun
dreds of other stocks up or down.
Hence the market is full of surprises
and is bound to be prolific in happen
ings of interest"

The Worlds Famous Bridges

BRIDGES have played an important part
~ in history, and from the days when
Trajan built the bridge across the Danube
there has been a steady development in the
perfection of these structures.
One of the most peculiar bridges in the
world is the tubular suspension bridge across
Melai Strait. This bridge consists of two
lines of immense tubing, each fifteen hundred
feet long, supported by three granite towers
besides the shore abutments This strange
bridge is one hundred feet above the sea, and
weighs eleven thousand tons.
The famous Niagara suspension bridge was
begun in 1852 and completed in 1855. 1t
is two hundred and forty-fve feet above
the water and eight hundred and twenty
one feet long.
