STOCK MARKET
WAS In TURMOIL

NEW YORK, Oct .16.-Trading on
both the New York stock exchanges
and curb stock was in turmoil as
the result of excited movements and
violent declines in the price of Unit
ed Copper stock in the latter mar
ket. The suspension of the firm of
Gross & Kleberg, members of the
New York stock exchange, contribut-
ed materially, if it was not the chief
cause of the decline, in both markets.
This firm has been trading actively
in United Copper stock and it was
reported that they were members
of pool formed to support the price
of the stock. Apparently there was
a break in this pool yesterday, as the
result of which common stock broke
from $50 to $40 per share, and the
transfer agent of the company de-
clined to record the tarnsfer of a
block of 16 $50 shares which he said
had been sold in violation of the
rights of parties having some interest
in it. Bonds were weak. The total
sales had a par value of $2,0OS, ,000.

upon the county commissioners on
the question of the roads, and to at
tend the meeting of last night. Both
gentlemen talked on Manhattan and
the objects of the committee there,
and their remarks were well receiv-
ed and heartily applauded.
There was plenty of enthusiasm
throughout the meeting. l.. c. Bran
son, temporary chairman, occupied
the chair, and his first act was to
introduce C. E. Mayne. Mr.. Mayne
said that he and Mr. Patteson had
been sent over as delegates to CO.

son that there had been delegation
from Tonopah, and they could tell
more about that matter than he
might wish to. He said, in passing,
that Manhattan has mineral belt,
the like of which cannot be dupli-
Gated anywhere in the United States.
Our ore zone has been proven for
six miles, said he, land then again
six miles to the south of us we have

heard that Tonopah was coming to
our assistance. When we saw that
the people of Tonopah had espoused
our cause, and that the papers of
Tonopah had taken up our fight, We
felt indeed that we were going to get
substantial help. l feel sure that
Tonopah will be well repaid.
"She will if Manhattan can do it.
What we want especially is good
road between here and Manhattan.
The auto and the freight road should
be repaired right away, before the
winter sets in, otherwise they will be
impossible We would like to meet
a committee from your body and con-
fer with them on plan of promo
tion. The people, away down in
their hearts, are grateful for what
you have done for them and for
what you are going to do. Every
man. woman and child in Manhattan
is the friend of Tonopah.
T. A. Patteson then read the cir
cular which had been prepared b.
the Manhattan committee, which
stated the object of their organiza-
tion, to wit, the DEVELOPMENT of the

A plan was outlined for the ex-
ploitation of Manhattan and other
districts, and for the wiping out Of
wildcats. The president has to ap-
point an executive committee of
three; finance committee of three;
and a committee on general investi-
cation of seven. This will be done
before the next meeting.
A committee of three was appoint
ed last night to wait ON the county
commissioners today, and urge upon
them again the Importance of i'm.
proving the roads between here and
Manhattan, and to work with them
in devising ways and means to attain
that object. The committee on good

STANDARDS MOST
ELABORATE Defense

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Counsel
for the Standard Oil Company has
prepared an elaborate defense in the
governments suit for dissolving the
oil combine, which they say will be
developed in its entirety. The gov
ernment's attorneys have concln5ed
taking their testimony. The Stand
ards lawyers said today that they
had not sought to adduce testimony
on cross=examination of officials and
employees of the so-called oil trust,
@hich would refute the allegations
in the rSS'eral complaint, but had
deferred in bringing out much evil
dence until later, when it could be
produced continuously and in bulk.
No intimation was given of the ma
ture of the testimony which counsel
for the trust would bring out. A
telegram was sent to William G..
Rockefeller, assistant treasurer OF
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, last night by counsel of the
Standard Oil, that the government
desired him as a witness before ad-
journment is taken on next Friday
for the month. Frank b. Kellogg,
Of counsel for the United States,
spent the entire day in placing on
record statements submitted by sew
eral witnesses showing profits made
by the Standard Oil in different To-
calities of the country. Statements
were produced showing that not only
had they secured information con-
cerning competitive shipments in the
United States, but in foreign coun-
tries.

mines and prospects, and to raise
the money for said development. He
further stated that the committee
was going to investigate every prop
erty in the camp, and put its seal of
approval on all worthy properties.
1--WE think that the truth is sufIi-
cient for Manhattan" said Mr.. Patte-
son, "and that is what we propose
shall get out What we need most
just now is money, and we are figur-
ing on the best methods of getting
it, We have formed an investigat-
ing committee to look into all our
properties and we can assure you
that anything that goes out with our
approval will be gilt-edged. We have
appointed committee on publicity,
which will send out all the informa-
tion of the camp.
81 cannot tell you how grateful
our people feel toward you for the
interest you have manifested in our
affairs. You are an older camp than
we are, and your recommendation
will go farther than will ours. We
know that your papers have wider
circulation than ours. We came here
to ask your aid in getting good roads
for us, and we know that you can
do If Tn aiding ilS Won will he helm
ing Tonopah, too, for in year. or
two years, we will have big camp;
there is no question about it. | never
have had a bit of doubt about the fu-
ture of the camp; but in the last
two months the development has
been something wonderful. We want
to show to the outside world what we
have and to get the money for the
further development of the camp"

And there are some good oosters
over there, and some Fne fellows,

Wood, who runs the Merchal ts hotel,
is one of the most generous of boni-
faces. He simply threw open his
doors and there was welc jme writ

earth can keep the camp lack. They
may have to wait little longer, but
they can't get away from it that a
boom is imminent, They have the
mines there and they have the mills
in the course of const ruction, and
the first of these will lie completed,
they tell me, by thu first of the

POSTPONE VOTE
Until TODAY

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The meeting
of the Illinois Central stockholders.
which was called at noon today, was
finally adjourned at late hour in
the afternoon until o'clock tomos-
row morning. No vote on the direc-
tors was taken and it is possible that
none will be reached before late
hour tomorrow. 1t is generally ex-
pected. however. that an early ses-
sion will see the new directorate es-
tablished. The delay was caused By
the inability of the three election in
spectprs. who were appointed to act
as committee on credentials in con-
sidering proxies, to finish their
work.
