delaria mines that have made such a
remarkable piece of history in the
glorious old times of Nevada. We
have a number OF mines in the camp
that are in operation and some OF
them are remarkably rich strikes Of
the kind. Notable among these r
the Azurite group of claims owned
by Messrs. Miller, Williams, Drew
and Mcleod. These parties have 4
copper deposit extending over four
claims that is easy traceable for
1000 feet and | have personally look
ed the ground over. There are
twenty-four openings on the ledge,
which must be fully 200 feet wide,
and the ore is shipping ore largely.
From the surface the formation Is
exceptionally good, being granite and
porphyry. The vein matter is pear
attic. The assays so far taken by
these people range from SIG to s95,
the values being largely copper.
The Copper Queen group, just one
and one-half miles north of this, has
a strong lode and values ranging
from a few cents TO s75. Messrs
Mcneil and company have a silver
property that has a fine showing anC
a force of men is at work here de
veloping the property. The Silvel
Summit mines have a force at work
a shaft is down 1876 feet on thii
property and they are crosseuttinl

ues running as high as 500. tn

disturbance, but there have been a
great many locations, and the loca-

j. Z. Lucey, miner and p%rospector,
was the man who made the initial
location. and those who came after
him named the district the Unknown

they did not know JUST where it was
situated.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

John w. Gates. the Chicago Dlun-

street a heavy loser. is quoted cpl
dramatically on the stock market,
He is said to have remarked that the
present situation makes him think
Of a poker game in which all the big
winners have pulled out and left a
lot OF pikers trying to get even on
each other. The description is SO
perfect that it leaves little more 10 be
said.
The great spectators have either
gon or lost so heavily during the
months since March that they have
lost interest IN the game. II is es-
iimated that the decline in securities
for the current year exceeds a billion
and three, quarters. so It is easy 10
believe most OF the heaviest holders
have very little speculative fever left
in them; and the general public,
which is almost invariably attracted
by a rising market. has been wiped
ont by the continuous decline and
painful calls for margins.
In spite OF the treemudous shock

manufacturing business of the coun-

couple entered the sitting room at eight
o'clock to the strains of Lohengrin's g

his very best. Roses and carnations
were the flowers carried. A splendid
supper was served after the ceremony.
Both are young people who formerly
lived at Estherville, Iowa, and are the
kind we like to see come and make
their home in Oakes. The bride is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. N. Church
Of this city and the groom is the son of
George Rugtiv Of Estherville. Since
coming here he has been with the

week as follows:
No. 10, passenger, from north arrives
at TAO p. m. and No. 9, the same train
leaves for the north at 7:15 a. m. Re-
mains at Oakes over night.
No. GA, freight, arrives from La
Moure at 8O5 q. m. and continues east
at $50 a. m.
No. 63, freight, arrives from east at

The Jamestown train that formerly
came to Oakes now runs to Edgeley
and LaMoure is the end of this freight
division. There Is no change in the

It was announced in the new time
table that the Sunday passenger SER
vice on the east run would be renewed,
but officials have announced that this is

Were in the Wreck.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Stevens arrived
home Saturday morning from their visit
in New York state. They were in the
500 wreck at Kensington, but happily
escaped without bodily. injury. Mr..
Stevens was in the city Monday and
said. that with a common, ordinary
bicycle he could get a worse jolt to his
system than going over a 55-foot
'embankment. The coach that he and
his wife and Mrs. Eaton occupied, went
part way down and was only held from
going to the bottom by the coupling Of
the adjoining coach. Mr.. Stevens
assisted in carrying out the man that
was killed and in rescuing the injured.
Mr.. Stevens had not been to the old
home in twenty-eight years and his
wife had not before been east of the
Mississippi. The east has no charms
for them, and they are better satisfied
than ever with their fine level farm.
