NUCLEUS OF STATE SOCIETY

Scientific publications througout the
United States have recently had much
to say in the way of favorable
about the formation of the mining and
scientific society Of Nevada; and some
go so far as to say that it will be the
most important society Of its kind in
the country with the exception of the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers basing their prophecy on the fact
that Nevada is rapidly becoming recog-
nized internationally as the greatest of
the Unions mining states and the great
est mining locality in the world.
This society was recently formed by
Goldfeld men, of which the following

Despite labor troubles which caused
the close down of all the mines of the
camp for a period that may last for sew
eral weeks, the market was well sus-
tanned during the week. Any large SELL
ing orders that threatened to break the
market were quickly supported and no
sharp declines were noted. 1t is a fact
that many of the stocks are selling
higher today than they did before the
trouble began. The cause for this is APP
parent. The ores are here. The mines
are equipped. The spirit of the mine
owners is unyielding and 1T is backed up
by the business men and citizens. Any
depreciation in price is an opportunity
for profit, which is quickly embraced.
The market opened weak in San Fran
cisco Monday morning. compared with
Saturday. but this was largely due to
the fact that the wires ' ere not work
ing and the uncertainty of the status
of affairs in Goldfeld caused timidity in
buying. On account of lack of wires
foreign orders were NOT in evidence.
Unfavorable news also came in from
Wall street. In fact the falling off in
prices was due more to trouble in the
financial section of the country han to
local conditions.
Philadelphia also showed a shading
off Monday. but not SO pronounced as In
San Francisco, there being a greater
attempt to forestall events and take
quick profits. There was a rally on the
Philadelphia market amounting to an
average of six points in the afternoon.
The San Francisco curb closed dull
Monday. advices arriving that the crash
in industrials had carried the mining
market down. Everything on the list
took a toboggan slide. Meanwhile the
sessions on both the Goldfield exchanges
were lively, the new exchange transfer
ring $4,000 shares and the old exchange
handling 13S, 800 shares.
The San Francisco market opened
steadier Tuesday morning than Monday
evenings close. Great Bend and a few
stocks continued to advance, but as a
rule there was little fiuctuation. The
situation seemed firmer and a more opti-
mistic tone prevailed. The best feature
of the Frisco board was that most of
the buying orders came from Goldfeld.
Bids were plentiful in Philadelphia
Tuesday morning. the figures being
slightly shaded off from those of Gold
field or San Francisco. A big demand
for Little Florence came from Chicago.
transfers taking place at from 80 cents
to $1.10.

STOLEN oaz RECOVERED

Seeking an attorney to have dis
a writ Of replevin, a confessed
Goldfeld high grader walked into the
district attorneys Office at Denver yes
terday and CAV the nj away.
The fellow. who was arrested. re-
ceived several days ago a consignment
of high grade ore at Pueblo and deliv-
cred it at tho smelter. 1t was iden-
titled as Goldfeld high grade and the
consignment. consisting Of "a sacks, was
replevined.
1t is the belief Of local officials of the
Consolidated Mines company. based
upon good evidence. that the ore was
stolen from the Mohawk during the
operations of the rich leases, that 1t
was kept in hiding here and recently
taken to Rhyolite In an automobile and
shipped to Pueblo by way Of Las Vegas.

MARKET is WELL SUSTAINED

During the day money became easier
in Wall street n the mining market
was greatly stimulated. New York
prices were much higher at the evening
session and the stimulous was felt in
the western markets.
The new exchange on Wednesday
evening discontinued the formal call and
the trading became very active, each
stock being called as rapidly as permits
sion was given by the caller. The Phil
adelphia market was strong Wednes
day. Although the opening was strong
in San Francisco. there was quite a
slump induced by throwing 10000
shares of Booth on the market at 75.
The proceeds were Immediately invested
in Jim Butler. MacNamara and North
Star. open Board was begun on both
exchanges. placing curb deals under the
rules of the exchanges. The sessions
were both lively.
The San Francisco market closed
strong. The leaders were Goldfield
Consolidated. Great Bend, Kewanas and
Triangle. The other stocks were well
supported. Jersey City curb was strong.
New York improved. Philadelphia de-
clined. On all the boards Goldfelds
were as well sustained as the securities
of any of the outside camps.
The assurance that Wall street would
distribute $1s5. 900. 900 in dividends and
interest April / was a stimulant to the
Nevada mining shares markets on all
exchanges and curbs Thursday. The
local market was badly spotted Thurs
day morning. Trading was light with
Consolidated, Fraction, Great Bend and
Triangle the features. The New York
market closed strong but dull. Prices
in San Francisco on the regular session
were not sustained and the informal was
dull and lower.
A telegram from San Francisco yes
terday (Friday) said: The market
opened quiet this morning but soon be-
gan to pick up all along the line. The
impressive dizziness of Go'dield stocks
seems to have passed away and numer-
Gus buying orders are now coming in

a LIBERAL xoIrcx

Tom Lockhart. n of the principal
owners OF the Florence and Jumbo Ex-
tension properties, made good his repu-
tation for liberality recently by grant,
ing an extension to the Florence lessees.
This was not only a God-send to the
owners of the leases. who were thus
given an opportunity to extract ore
after having done an enormous amour
of dead work, but 1t appreciated the
value of Florence shares. the company
thus sharing in the profits of the lessees
without taking chances and without
spending an immense amoun of money.
1t is rumored on the street that Mr..
Lockhart will pursue a similar course
with the Jumbo Extension lessees. This
rumor is what is occasioning the de-
mand for Extension stock and stock in
the leases.
