JUMBO N. 8 N. CO. TO
GO AHEAD WITH WORK

After weeks of preparation, prep
aration taken because the chief owner,
W. B. Harbin would not allow the
property put on the parket until every
thing was right, the Jumbo Mining
and Milling Company announces the
allotment of 100000 shares of treasury
stock for development purposes.
The company owns four claims N
fhe Jumbo district, adjoining the now
famous Selby Co. mine. The property
consists of two old mines that were
worked when the COmstock was
great and live camp and when silver
was at par. The new company has
taken the property over, reOpened the
drifts and shafts and prospected the
mines thoroughly. The ledge is con-
tinuous through all four claims and
carries enough value in gold alone to
make the ore very profitable. Modern
methods of extraction and reduction
are relied upOn to make these mines
what they formerly were. producers of
bullion. and the treasury stock is now
on sale in order to raise the necessar7'
funds. Complete announcement will
be made later.

SIXTEEN HOUR LAW FOR
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION AS TO
ITS EFFECT IN OPERATING SIM
GLE TRACK LINES

Railroad men at Sparks are discus.
sing now the sixteen hour rest law.
On January tenth this law will come
before Congress for passage and it is
believed generally that it will pass.
The proposed law limits the hours of
continuous service of railroad emplay-
es to sixteen, provided as follows:
Every violation Of this law subjects
the railroad company and the indivi-
dual official who permits any employe
to work more than a sixteen hour
schedule or to resume work without
taking for himself ten hours rest are
subject to a fine of $1,000.
To test the working of this law an
order was put int0 practical effect on
the Salt Lake division Of the Short
line and the direct result was that
freight traffic was nearly to a stand
still. Officials in the operating de-
partments Of the Western roads and
many of the trainmen are of the opia-
ion that the measure is impracticable
on single track roads, and where the
traffic is as heavy as it is on the Har-
riman lines. Crews, power and ca
booses have to be turned many times
in order to balance conditions and it
is generally in this necessity that
crews are called upon to double back
even after they have been on the road
for a period CT hours. To abolish this
privilege and to impose a penalty on
the dispa,chers enforcing it. you'd par

Southern Pacific VS.. ingalls,, the own
er of several valuable claims in Oling-

The court sustained the demurrer of
the Southern Pacific on all points.
The contention by ingalls, that in all
grants from the U. S. Government re-
served the minerals for locators was
overruled by the court. Also that the
contention that tie defendant had
been allowed to go on the land of
the plaintiff and expend large amounts
of money before he was stopped by
the plaintiff was held to be without
force as the patent issued by the gov
ernment gave the plaintiff absolute

NEVADA MINING STOCKS
BEGINNING TO LURE EASTERN
INVESTORS AWAY FROM RAIL
ROAD SHARES

The reason why there has been an
apparently concerted attack in the
East upon the buying Of mining shares
may possible be explained by an item
in Bradstreets, which says that rail
road shares recently placed upon the
New York market (to enlarge old
companies) aggregate $500, 100000 and
that they have been received with
disfavor."
That is enough to make any banker
in New York disguised. The very
idea OF buying uncertain mining stocks
where there is a chance to purchase
approved securities which will be sure
to pay five per cent so long as the
good times last, is so ridiculous -
Then, too, there is a email con 2is-
sion for the banker, when he sells -he
railroad stocks, but not a cent when
the fool man goes off and buys mining
stocks.
But at per cent it takes 20 years
for man to get his money back-and
railroad dividends are not sure for
twenty years to come. But had he
bought Mohawk, for instance, at 60
cents year ago and sold it for SIS,
he would have the ) per cent back al
ready. 125 times over. Or if he had
bought Stray Dog at 50 cents six
weeks ago he would have had his
twenty years interest and the original
principal in his pocket right now.
Then there is another feature about
the business. IF the mines are as bad
as they are pictured in the East they
should all cease to pay within a year,
in two years there would be such q
slowing down that the purchaser OF
railroad stocks would not only not get
his ) per cent, but his principal would
have shrunkon 50 per cent.
As long as We give the eastern in
vestors good returns they will keep
coming this way.

l. 1905. Of this sum Tonopah Mining
paid $1,000 900, Tonopah Belmont paid
100000 and Midway 100000. Ten
mines shipped ore in some quantity
The largest shipper, the Tonopah Min
ing Company, sent out $1,000 tons;
