Mining Notes.

In the Tonopah district. as development Iroeresses
the leading mines continue TO improve The action
Of the directors Of the TOnOTah Mining COM any IN
reducing its dividend last quarter has engendered
bitter feeling and It Is asserted that this course Is
entirely unnecessary IN view Of the increased produc
tiOn q the mine. The T0nOpah Mining Company
last week shipped 4O00 tons Of ore which averaged
about So a ton
Godheld stocks foT the week have been active
The production in this camp. when figured out in
dollars and cents. IS astonishing. Prices Of the
better class securities are low in the opinion Of the
mining brokers' and it Is asserted that the market
viii have larger upward movement this fall
4 strike made in Red Hills which caused that
stock u advance during the month frum 20 to 75c
The details Of the strike have not been given out
The stock has been traded in during the week 10
the extent Of nearly its total capitalization and on
FHdRy. IN NeW York and san Francisco Il00l0
shares sold.
In the Mohawk which is part Of the Goldfeld
Consolidated property, new strike Of bonanza ere
Is being made nearly every day Over $ 600 900 have
already been taken from this mine. and they are
now working the 45lfcot level Most Of these values
were taken cut by 'leaseTs. who would ship moth
ing but high grade ore
In the Diamondfeld district Daisy and Great Bend
are now IN large bodies Of ore. Great Bend at the
SoO-foot level has struck fine water supply. which
Is IN itself & valuable asset Reports from the
Roanoke indicate they are II excellent ore bodies
and reports from the mine indicate that they arc
nearing the vein that has made the DiamOndfeld
district famous
The Bullfrog district is waiting the completion Of
the Montgomery Shoshone mi which Is expected
10 be in operation IL September The BullfrOg stocks
have been inactive and the opinion Of brokers
seems 70 be that there viii not be period Of act
iTity until the Goldhelds have had a substantial
advances.
AdTices from the Rosebud camp grow better with
each report The Brown Palace VEN has enormous
ore values Nearly every expert who has seen this
camp has stated that Rosebud has the same forma-
tion as the COmstock
Nevada has had a wonderful growth during the
past year Il has added at least 0e00 % its pop

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

The Washington Stock Exchange was
closed yesterday, in accordance with the
rule for the summer vacation.
Herbert l. Jones, of A. o. Brown q
Co, left for New York yesterday and
will take possession of the firms new
office in the Plaza Hotel about August 10.
Before leaving, Mr.. Jones turned over the
books and accounts OF the local Office to
his successor, George /. Evans.
Opinions On the New York Market.
Herbert l. Jones. of A. 0. Brown q
Co.-"Thcre was no pressure Of stock
upon the market at any time Saturday
and there are no signs of impending liqui-
dation. 1t is possible the market may be
duh again on Monday, but as there Is
nothing il sight to warrant any decline,
some Improvement seems probable unless
there should be unexpected unfavorabie
developments over Sunday"
G. Bowie Chipman, OF E. r. Chapman
& Co.-"In view of the mixed condition
of affairs IN London, caused by the threat
ening labor troubles there and the unset
tied state in Egyptian banking circles,
which also aggravates the London situa-
ton. coupled with the bearish attitude
of such operators as are active in our
own market. we continue TO advise eau
ton in market commitments. This situa-
ton, OF course, could change suddenly, as
has been pertinently remarked this week
by one of our foremost fnanciers but
conservatism should still be practiced in
making purchases Of stock and the divi-
dend paying railroad issues given the
preference, and then only on declines"
Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flagg-
The market to-day was duh and in
significant. Fluctuations In prices We're
only fractional, and generally showed
slight declines. The bank statement was
by no means favorable, considering the
low figures of the surplus reserve, but
the changes were not of sufficient Inn
portance to produce any effect on the
market After the recent reaction In
prices, the level is again so low as to be
attractive for purchase for "a turn.
There is no doubt the situation contains
abundant reason for caution, with money
scarce, crop results still uncertain, and
executives and legislatures on the trail
of the corporations"
f. W. Crew Of Henry Clews & CO.
''To-day's bank statement was unfavor-
able. The total reserves are reduced to
the small figures Of sT473,200. This time
last year the reserves were $l4122, SIS. The
statement also shows conclusively the
great demand for money in the further
Increase in the loan item. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that high money rates
VIII follow. Most bankers are looking
for stringency next fall Under the cir
cumstances il is risky TO purchase stocks
unless they can be picked up on .reces-
sions. and then for small turns only"
