LOCAL STOCK 'CHANGE
NOT TO CLOSE DOORS
BROKERS HAVE SUFFICIENT CON-
FIDENCE IN SECURITIES TO
CONTINUE BUSINESS.

The resident directors of the local
mining and stock exchange met yes
terday morning, and thoroughly dis
cussed the financial situation, in all
of its recent developments, including
the closing of the banks.
While it was admitted that the bus
mess of the exchange would be ham,
pered to a considerable extent by the
closing of the banks, it was deemed
advisable to continue the exchange in
full operation, regardless of the other
phases of the situation.
The exchange directors decided
that their policy would be to accept
checks on either bank in payment for
their stocks bought on the exchange,
and will carry brokers' checks until
the banks reopen and all accounts
can be properly balanced.
This step on the part of the stock
exchange will have much to do with
the prevention of stagnation, and
will add materially to the money in
circulation.
1t also shows the confidence fell
by the brokers in local securities, and
shows that their faith in the coppers
of the district is unshaken by the
financial storm that has swept the
money market of the country

DECLARES COUNTRY
IS PROSPEROUS
NEW YORK BANKER DRAWS AT.
TENTION TO STRONG UNDER
LYING CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK. Oct 30.-A promi-
nent banker pointed out today that
it could not be brought to the atten-
tion of the country at large too
strongly that the present situation is
one dealing solely with the supplies
of currency, and that neither the bus
mess credit of the nation nor its in
dustrial and agricultural prosperity is
affected. In this respect there Is a
sharp contrast with the conditions
prevalent in 1898. At that time many
factories were closed. railroad bust
ness was at low ebb, and all parts
of the country were feeling the
strain of acute business depression.
Today, on the other hand, the
country is extremely prosperous;
manufacturing plants are running
full all the time to keep mp with or
ders; railroad earnings are the high
est ever known and the crop prospects
are excellent. The banks themselves,
especially those of New York. have In
their vaults interest bearing securi-
ties of the best character on which
at ordinary times they would be able
to realize large sums of money. 1t Is
with these securities and good com
mercial paper as collateral that the
clearing house loan certificates will
be issued to the extent of "a per
cent of their salable value. Thus 1t
will he seen that every $75 of loan
certificates issued is secured by 500
of property.

BIG HELP TO THE
MINING INDUSTRY
SUCCESS WHICH PROMISES IN
THE VIRGIN OIL FIELD
WOULD MEAN MUCH.

Report was received from Virgin
City yesterday of the striking of oil
in the second well of the Virgin City
Oil company, a Rhyolite organiza-
ton. The strike was made at 800
feet in the first oil strata of the field
The first well of the company is now
ond strata in the field, which it is ex-
about 600 feet.
Between the No. | and 2 wells of
the Virgin City company, the Dixie
Oil company, a Salt Lake City or
ganization is sinking a well and has
excellent showing at this time. The
formation is very regular and devel-
opment to this time gives ground for
belief that the field is a large one
Exploitation is now going on over an
area said to be as large as that COW
cred by the Salt Lake valley.
Development of the field into the
large producing region which oil men
on the ground are free in exnressine
belief it will become, would mean
vast things for mining interests
throughout Nevada and Utah. AT
present oil used rs fuel in this sec
tion comes from California and can
be had only at figures. when trans
portation charges are added. which
makes its use prohibitive in competi
ton with coal Oil is q more econom

ATTITUDE TAKEN
BY THE BANKS

While during the temporary clos
ing of the banks no money will pass
either in or out of the institutions,
business men will have no trouble
in paying their accounts either in
this town or outside of it.
Drafts will be honOred by the
banks, and the. amounts that are
called for will be transferred from
one account to another, without the
actual exchange of dollar.
Local merchants can meet their
notes, drafts and other obligations by
giving their bankers checks for the
amounts called for, and the banks
will be able to keep accounts straigh-
in that manner
Local exchanges can be effected in
the same manner, and except for the
fact that no real money can be had,
business conditions will not be effect
ed in the slightest degree.
For the convenience of business
men, both banks will maintain their
regular office hours, and all inquiries
as to the validity of checks of per-
sons having accounts in the banks
will be cheerfully answered by the
bankers. 1t is their desire to put as
little restraint on business as posi-
BILE, and they are cooperating in ev-
ery manner possible to keep business
m to its normal standard.

ACCOMMODATIONS
ARE UNEXCELLED
DISTRICT IN LEAD IN MATT ER OF
PROVISION OF DESIRABLE
HOMES FOR IT'S PEOPLE.

This district is entering The winter
season in far better shape in the mat
ter of accommodations for men and
families than prevailed last year. AT
the mines. at the reduction works and
in Ely and Ely City many houses have
been built The man with family
need under existing conditions have
no hesitation about coming here. He
can feel assurance that accommoda-
tions will be available which will en-
able comfort amid desirable sur
roundings in one of the most health
full climates of the country.
The building which has been done
has been principally by the mining
smelling and townsite companies. IT
has been methodically carried on with
the view of providing for care of the
steadily increasing population, which
, the labor and other needs of the
camp must in the very nature OF
things cause to grow uninterrupt-
ed for some years to come The pol
icy followed has been to provide a
little ahead of needs all the time, in
order that there may be no house
famine with consequent train of suf-
fering and eXorbitant rents. In the
| building which has been done sani-
tary conditions have been well looked
after, while the houses are modern
comfortable and attractive in every
way, particularly those which have
been erected in Ely City and of which
there are now about dozen in eX'
cess of immediate demand.
1t can be fairly said that in nc
other copper mining district in the
country have the large interests taker
so much care or gone to so large ex
pense to provide abundant, desirable
house accommodations as has beer
done here Nor is there another dis
trict in the country in which houses
with so much of attractiveness in con
struction and location are to be
found Butte. Bisbee, Globe ano
most of the other big copper camps
are mere back yards in comparison
with Robinson district in this re
spect.

MATERIALS FOR WORK.
Nevada Northern Yards Filled With
Supplies for Ore Lines.

If there are those who entertain
even lingering doubt as to the big
things the Nevada Northern is doing
and has plans made for along
lines of construction work in the
Camp. on the mines and reduction
plant lines in particular, they can
dissipate their pessimism through a
visit to the yards of the railroad COM
pany in Ely City.
These big yards are now crowded
with materials for the completion OF
work that has been determined upon
and which is now under way. Every
day these materials in the yards are
drawn upon by the construction trains
and building forces and every day
trains bring in more materials from
the outside which promptly fill the
cans made through acquisitions on
tbe stock on hand. Rails, ties, struc-
tural steel, bridge and other timbers
fill the yard tracks and grounds pro
vided for storage purposes. The
great. quantity of the materials to-
gether with the fact that the man
agement of the road is kept busy
keeping up the supply affords the
best of evidence that there Is nothing
tagging on the railroad end of things
in this district.

Not Political Question.
PLENTY OF GOLD.
Stock in Excess of Billion and Half as
Compared with 5000, 100000, 1906.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The gold
stock of the country is already more
than twice that which was available
in 1893, even according to liberal es-
Inmates of the amount in circulation
at that time. The gold stock then
dropped below 5000 100000. 1t is
now in excess of 81 500, 900, 900. The
treasury has free gold, not covered
by gold certificates in circulation, to
the amount of almost exactly $3.50
600 900 or five times its resources
for protecting the public credit in
1906. At meeting held this after
noon the executive committee of the
Merchants association of New York,

tion of thanks to Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou. and to j, Pier

WERE DISAPPOINTED.
Shippers of Copper Ore to Smelters
Will Profit From Advance Later.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 30.-All
grades of copper in the east have
gone up. 1t was expected in local
circles that the local smelters would
raise their price for the metal, but
on the contrary the price as quoted
Yesterday was a cent below the price
of last week. This is accounted for
by the reason that the local smelters
settle for copper one week on the av-
erage of the prices of the previous
week Thus, if the metal holds mp
this week, the average price will gov
ern next week and it will be above
present quotations. When the metal
goes down, the local smelters pay
more than the eastern quotations. SO
the advantage is evenly divided. Next
week will undoubtedly find the metal
much higher than it is now.

Every business man who was ap-

belief that the situation will quickly

tickets, and many of the saloon men
will cash checks on known accounts

Thomas J. O'Neill, of the Palace,

son of the fact that ready money is
taken out of circulation.

WOULD PAY NEVADA
CARRIERS MORE MONEY

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 30.-Assistant
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch
cock has been in Goldfield the past
twenty-four hours examining the new
postoffice quarters in the Goldfield
News building and getting data first
hand for legislation, he will ask from
congress this winter.
Mr.. Hitchcock says he will ask for
a change in the salary rules, whereby
he can have more latitude to meet
emergency cases such as Goldfield
presents. Goldfield is high wage
camp, even the commonest laborer is
paid more than the postoffice clerks
and in consequence of the level in
postal clerks salaries all over the
country, the postoffice in Goldfield
and those in other southern Nevada
mining camps find it almost impossi-
BILE to retain efficient and desirable
clerks.
