"MkSQUE CARNIVAL"

All eyes are on the big Halloween
Masque Carnival at the Auditorium,
Richards street, set for October 31st.
1t is estimated that every costume in
the city will be in use for this occa-
sion. The Auditorium floor will accom-
modate eight or nine hundred people,
and as there is a prize for each cos
tune, aside from the grand prizes Off
teen in number) offered, there is sure
to be a big time.
The numerous races at these Carni-
walls are always interesting. The free
for-all fat mans race, the free-fOr-all
boys race, free-for-all ladies' race,
clowns race and other amusing fea-
lures all go to make up an interesting
program. All Mosques must be raised
before entering the building. Only
those in costume will be allowed OH the
floor before the Grand March. After
that all can skate.

Cheerful Feeling in London.

London, Oct. A-Trading on the stock
exchange today opened with a cheerful
tone on the more encouraging news re-
garding the financial situation in New
York and the prices of Americans start
ed at l point above parity. Buying or
ders from New York and the covering by
local bears steadily drove quotations up
ward and by noon Union Pacific and
Canadian Pacific were points over the
New York equivalent, while Southern Pa
cific and United States Steel received con-
siderable attention at over l point ad-
vance.
The improvement in Americans contin-
ued until the receipt of the news of de
clining quotations in New York. Prices
fluctuated widely after that and fell one
to two points from the best of the day.
At the close there was an easy tendency
but the rises were well above of those of
last evening.

The Mohawk Mining company has
come into full possession of its own.
since practically all the producing
leases have ceased through expiration
of time.
1t was feared that when the leasers
surrendered the ground that there
would be many idle miners in the streets
of Goldfield. but this has not occurred.
for new work has been undertaken by
the holding company. the Goldfeld Con-
solidated Mines, which has levied 30
heavily upon the labor market that the
many new companies that are beginning
work are experiencing difficulty In Sc
curing men.
Surveyors are at work on the Mohawk
laying out the site for an immense ore
house and other ore houses will be
erected at once upon the Jumbo and
Red Top. Surveys are also being made
for spur tracks to these properties. the
intention of the holding company being
to rash extraction of ore as well as de-
velopment work.
The company shaft on the Mohawk Is
being partly retimbered and otherwise
heaviest kind of work. such as will soon
be it's duty to perform. for from this
shaft connections will be made with all
the ore producers of the property.
A large force will be put TO work In
the Frances-Mohawk lease, timbering
the ground that was loosened by the
removal of pillars of ore during the
closing hours Of the lease.
Another big force Is being employed
in the Miss Jessie shaft of the Laguna
holding. This will be increasing to
three compartments and the hoist and
gallows frame from the Rose Mohawk
lease installed there. This shaft Is abb
solutely certain to be as active in ore
production as the main Mohawk bore,
for it was here that the diamond drill
revealed the presence of an immence
body of high grade ore.
