tunes. They have claims only a few
hundred feet from where Ole Elliott
has ten men at work. Ten more
miners from Goldfeld in the employ
of Elliott are expected to arrive at
the new camp today. Elliott is rum
ing a cut on ledge mater and is said
to have a vein twelve inches wide
which assays $3.50 in gold. There
are fifty men at work in the camp,
most of whom are working their own
properties.
At an election recently held, Hugh
Jones was elected district recorder.
Mr.. Happier tells of two old min
ers who recently. arrived in camp
from California, where they worked
at placer mining for many years. One
was disgusted with the formation of
the country and spent his first day
cussing the camp and signing for
California. He said that gold had
never been found in such formations
and that he knew there was not any
there. The other went out with his
pan and spent the afternoon panning
gravel from different claims. When
he returned in the evening he had
a phial full of gold. These two are
now the most enthusiastic pros
pectors in the camp and the one who
was at first pessimistic says that he
believes the district is one of the
richest he ever saw.-Elko Free

right, but it is a lie, as are many
other statements in these circulars,
for he never paid anywhere near that
amount for the claim, nor even a
third of it. We also learn from the
circular that the Mining Investor"
1--WE presume from Denver), has re-
peatedly assured correspondents,
both by private letter, ETC., of the
reliability of J.. II. Pape & Co." Well,
all we have got to say to the Inves-
tor is that it certainly has got some
explanation to make to the public,
and we would like very much to hear
what it has to offer.
This same circular has a very
pretty picture of Mr.. Pape. Judging
from that picture, he is a pretty
cuss, yet we never see a picture like
that but what the feeling comes W
us to pick up our pen and draw some
bars (iron) across it.
in a letter of advice to their
clients, to make up pools of money
for the purchase of stock by this
firm of j. II. Pape & Co, they refer
"as to their trustworthiness' to such
banks as John s. Cook & Co, Gold
field, Exchange National bank of
Colorado Springs, Colo We would
be pleased to hear from these insti-
tutions and believe they, too, need To
explain what they know of this firm.
We also see that this firm has
been handling properties in Goldfield
and take it for granted the clients
to whom they sold the Goldfeld stock
are as much dissatisfied as those to
whom they sold their Manhattan
stock. We would ask that the news
papers Of that city investigate this
firm, as we have. and give them the
publicity that is due them.-Manhat-

INTERESTING TALK
: BY ]. ". BROCK
.apows LIGHT ON MATTERS in
WHICH NEVADA is
CONCERNED.

John W. Brock, president Oh the
rOuOpah Mining Company and the
roronab G Goldaeld Railroad Com
..ny. left for the East last night in
-. nrIyate car. He had been in this
,..t,op of the country for about ten
,.,s during a part of which time he
listed the southern part of the state
and Greenwater. where he has ex.
tensive interests.
Mr.. Brock could form no idea as
IL where the report came from re-
..rding an alliance on the part of
no southern Pacific and the Santa
70 with the Brock roads against the
clark road. He said that such a
,ouort was purely imaginary. Re-
,srdlng the embargo of the Southern
pacific on freight headed this way,
10 said that the reason for it was
tho failure of the consignees to re-
move their freight from the cars
sfter they had reached here and
Goldfeld.
THE consignees at Tonopah," said
he, are pretty good in that regard,
and the delivery is fair, and in con-
sentence the traffic here is pretty
veil cleaned up. In Goldfleld, how
aver. Il is different, and there are
more than a hundred cars tied up
With all kinds of freight. The peo-
ole over there claim to be in a hurry
for their freight but here is the
record for yesterday:
There were only two cars of
lumber taken out, leaving ifty-three
ii the yard; there were four cars
Of general merchandise released,
leaving t~hirty-one behind. Eight
cars OF general merchandise were re-
leased and tw%enty-eight left behind
in the yards. There are also a num-
Der Of cars Of hay and coal. Tono-
pah is In much better shape, the
lumbe. cars being released imme-
iiately upon arrival, and the general
merchandise being taken away pretty
promptly too. The embargo of the
Southern Pacific does not apply to
food and other perishable stun.
There is coal in the yards here,
but no one seems to be ready to
lake II, yet II is not SO long ago
that there was a demand for coal
BY everyone. We cannot be blamed
for the delay. for the embargo on
freight is to our detriment. The
sooner II is off the better we Will
Ike It, and the sooner the Goldfeld
people get busy. the sooner will the
Southern Pacific get their cars back
and be ready for further shipments. .
Mr.. Brock was asked why there
we're no diners on the Tonopah end
Of the line, and this he readily an
swered.
we have been trying to get a
diner for the past eighteen months, :
said he, but we are apparently as
iaf from the matter as ever. The
reason of this is that the Southern
Pacific cannot get them themselves.
There are diners being built. but the
construction Of one Is the work of
months, not weeks. and we have to
wait until they are completed. There
Is a scarcity Of Pullmans also, for
te number has been cut down to
an alarming rate in consequence of
'he great number of accidents during
'ne year. They are building 400
rullmans which are to be completed
before the end Of the year"

Banks Return Money to Treasury

Washington, Nov. 15.-Secre- tary Cortelyou returned today from New York, where he deliv- cred an address yesterday be, fore the Merchants Association. Before going to the White House to attend the usual Friday cabi- net meeting, the secretary stated that while in New York he had asked several of the lead ing banks there to return to the treasury comparatively small sums, aggregating between S4,- 000,000 and S5,000,00O. The on ly object of this call was to strengthen the working balance, which had been somewhat reduc- ed by the action of the secretary in responding to. calls from banks in several sections of the country for public deposits to meet the increased demands up. on them for cash incident to the crop moving season. The with drawal of so small a sum could have no appreciable effect in New York or elsewhere. and the banks promptly acceded to the secretary's request.
 The demand for additional cir culation continues with slight dimunition. From November 1 to 14, inclusive, the actual ship ments of national bank notes to banks increasing their circula- tion was $2O,642, 800. This large addition to the stock of curren- cy in the country, which is quite up to the expectations of the treasury officials, has marked influence, it is stated, in restor.

State Rests in Bradley Trial

Washington, Nov. 15.-The prosecution today rested it's case in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, charged with mur- der of former United States Sen ator Arthur Brown in this city last winter, and recess until Monday was taken for defense to begin the presentation of it's case. Despite the protest of the defense that the confession was involuntary, the court admitted the evidence of Detective Grant that Mrs. Bradley told him she had meditated the deed for a long time and had decided that if Brown did not do right by her she would kill him.
