District South of That
Place Discovered Full
of Good Indications.
TWENTY CLAIMS STAKED
Will RevOIutiOnize Fuel Situation In
That Section of State...Capttal
Ready to Back Development.

Oil has ben discovered midway be-
tween here and Needles-that is, ON
the surface of springs and the proper
showing of rocks in the way of shale
and otherwise, says the Searchlight
Banner.
The looators are w. A. Rorke, the
restaurant man of this place, and
Tom Wilcox, lately engineer of the
Riverside ranch. They returned last
Saturday after three weeks of the
hardest kind of journeying and, nat
urally,. highly gratified with the re-
suit. However, they are temperate in
their claims, knowing that much de-
ponds on the result of analysis, and
samples have been sent for this pur-
pose. But the surface showing is so
pronounced that there can be little
doubt of a most valuable find.
Capital stands ready to back the
enterprise; also there is one import
ant customer in the Santa Fe rail
road that stands ready to take the en-
tire output of oil.
The region in question, while in an
air line but z 5 miles from here and
the same distance from Needles, by
reason of its travelled roads, is prac-
tically virgin field for prospectors.
The proving up may be expected to
hasten the building of a north and
south railroad, of which many plans
have already been discussed. to cover
between here and Camp Thurman,
and even to the Empire and Chiquita
properties
The trip of Rorke and Wilcox pos
sessed some novel features and some
Illustrate ions of the resourcefulness of
the up-to-date prospector. On a pre-
vious cross country trip, some months
ago, Mr.. Rorke had spotted the good
ground and peculiar water. To find
it again was another matter and ne
cesstated following a compass point
three miles back from the river. The
start was made from the river ranch
by boat. A couple of burros, securely
tied, were part of the cargo. After
DISSEMINATING it was a matter of keep
ing as straight a line as possible and
doing all sorts of climbing stunts.
The return was a far easier PROPOSE
ton and good roads will not be diff
cult to make.
Twenty claims of oil land were
staked. Also on the return trip some
promising mineral was found and To-
Gated. The latter was in place and
rich enough to afford free gold speci-
mems. OF a certainty, something very
interesting and promising in new
mineral country, adjacent to this
camp, has been touched upon and it
will not be long before numbers will
scour every part of it and a certain
number of bonanzas be opened up.

The Bonnie Clare Turns Property
Over on Account of Troubles.

A dispatch sent out by the Bonnie
Claire Mining company. of Tonopah,
says:
I'm view of the labor troubles in
Nevada, the difficulty of getting cash
and the comparatively isolated posi-
ton of the mines, the management
decided it was best to have a receiver
appointed and thereby get the pro-
lection of the federal court. The
mines are in better shape than ever;
the mill is, or was yesterday, running,
and making money. | understand
there is enough concentrates on hand
to pay current debts. The FOrresters,
who own a majority of the stock, APP
piled for the receiver.
THE mill has been running on the
lowest grade ore they have and the
first cleanup made about 100000.
When they get it moving on the bet
ter grades it will make a much larger
showing. If times had been normal
the mill would have been running
much sooner, but this labor trouble
would sooner or later have to be set
tied. | have not sold a share of my
stock and none of the big holders

GROWTH AND PROSPERITY
OF ALEXANDRIA

Consular Agent Powell of AleXan-

the commercial conditions, past, pres

Today a Phoenix risen from her ashes
she stands supreme among Levantine
cities. Her port is one of the busiest
in all the Mediterranean. Her broad
thoroughfares and shaded boulevards

traffic. The crowded quarters of the
old city which suffered so terribly in
1882, have given way to roomier
streets and flower-planted squares

period have been replaced by i'm

The census of Alexandria,, which
has just been taken, gives the pophla-
ton of the municipality as $50, 1000,
of whom about one-seventh are

native enumerators were so unre-
liable that, I am informed, it has
been found necessary to take another

present population of the city as well

The rapid rise of land values in
recent years was quickly followed

A decrease of over 100000 in the
net earnings of the Southern Pacific
road, as compared with last year, is
shown by the annual report received
at Sparks yesterday. The net profits
of the road amounted this year to
S2,633,63S, the gross earnings being
$12, 0S3,974. Heavy operating ex-
penses caused by the freight blockade
is what cut down the profits of the
road.-Reno Gazette.

Secretary Binford of the Ely stock
exchange left Monday for Denver, to
be absent until the first of the year.
In the meantime a holiday is in eff
feet on the exchange, where there will
be no quotations until Mr.. Binford S
return. Closing of the exchange for
the vacation was made possible by
reason of the fact that nearly all who
do business with the organization
are either out of town for the holiday
season or are going. The prospect
ahead in the event of keeping open
was one in which lonesomeness cut
large figure. Consequently Mr..
Binford determined to sieze oppor-
tunity by the forelock and pay his
family visit. On reopening of the
exchange there ought to be decided
activity In the meantime quotations
on stocks in the local board stand as

Several days ago Mrs. Joseph
Perrin, wife of workman employed
at Hobart Mills, had a narrow escape
from death in a binding snow storm.
She left Truckee at o'clock in the
morning TO walk to the place, dis
lance of seven miles. Shortly after
she had started binding snow storm
began to rage and within short time
she lost her way and wandered about
in the mountains until $3.50 D clock
the following morning. Searchers
started out in the afternoon to find
the woman but could not locate her.
She finally reached the Prosser road
house shortly after 3 O'Clock in the
morning in serious condition.-Car-

While the New York market quo

round in the prices of local stocks,
the fact that copper again reached

and in fact, to most other classes. A
demand for better housing accom-
mediation was the natural result, and
this in turn led to a desire for
modern comforts, which is extending
rapidly, owing to various causes,
which include the annual migration
to Europe for the summer months,
the civiizing influence of travel in
other countries, the greater freedom
which of late years has been given
to Moslem women, the spread of edu-
cation, and the attraction to villige
notables and wealthy fellaheen held
forth by residence in Alexandria or
Cairo. Building sites have changed
hands with bewildering rapidity, and
have in many cases realized twice
their original value in few months.
Old dwellings have been demolished
in every direction and replaced by
large blocks of office buildings, flats
and apartment houses, fitted with
modern sanitary appliances, facilities
for gas and electric lighting, and con-
veniences of every description.
Innumerable stock companies have
been foated to deal with one form
of development and another. Wealthy
Egyptians, no longer in deadly fear of
the taxgatherer and his kourbasn, no
longer afraid to make display COM
mensurate with their means, take
real oriental delight in outshining
one another in The splendor of their
imported carriages and motor cars.
1t is no idle boast to say that there
is no city on the Mediterranean or,
indeed, in all southern Europe, which
can present so dazzling display OF
wealth and fashion as is to be seen
daily between the hours of 4 and I
in the Rue Cherif Pacha of Alexan-
dria or along the Ramleh road.

MAID WEARS PRINCESS APRON.

about four inches OF the lower edge
are cut In one piece, the remaining
portions carrying out the design OF the
conventional models. to which the
panel part is connected by means of a
strip OF embroidery insertion. The
material is gathered at the top and

This kind OF apron will be worn by

For madam's personal attendant the
English lady's maids apron is the pre-

worn by nurses, being very large and
iull, with a hem five inches deep on
the bottom, which in it's turn is button

Take Care OF Your Gloves.

There is nothing so conducive TO a
woman's selfrespect as to be neatly
and fashionably gloved. "A lady is
known by her shoes and BY her
gloves" II is an aphorism that has
stood the test of years.
Many women make the mistake OF
thinking that tight-fitting glove
causes the hand to look small.
Nothing is farther from the truth. A
tight-htting glove makes the hand
bulge In places so that II looks i'll pro-
portioned. On the other hand. the
glove that is too large gives a slovenly
appearance 20 the hand. Everything
depends on the way tho glove is put

once put on crooked can never be
Strengthened.
II is poor economy TO buy bargain
sale gloves, except on rare occasions
when you are sure of their quality.
