the exchanges open for business next
Monday there is likely to be something
doing.

result of the strike in the Mohawk.

Extension also profitted by the strike.
as 1t seems to be the general opinion
that the big Mohawk ore body runs
through the Jumbo Extension ground,
because of the finding Of similar ore
body on the Mohawk Jumbo lease a
few days ago. That being the case.
there can be no possible ground for an
apex suit, which has been a bugaboo to
investors in the past. Jumbo Extension
stock was in demand at $2.1O There
was also a heavy demand for Florence
Extension, which sold at 35 cents on the
strength Of a reported strike. Red Hills
continued strong at 4S cents and 81
cents was offered for Atlanta.

Prices were well sustained on the
local stock exchanges this week, al
though owing to adjournment over the

are informed and believe that 1t was
directly understood between Mr.. Wing

1t will be recalled that about year

net product of the mill when the inn

least $50, 900 a month. This will place
the Round Mountain Mining company
on a dividend paying basis at once.

acquired the dividend paying habit to
such a degree that they can't help II.

NEVADA COPPER COMPANY
BUYS LUNING PROPERTY

smelter The properties he purchased
yesterday, upon a thorough test and
analysis and ~experim snting for term
of months, showed .ust The elements
necessary to supplement his other ores
and make a fine smelling product. He
feels now, with this link in the chain
completed, he can go ahead with his
smelter, and states that he will PROB
ably begin work within 60 days.
The properties purchased were four
claims at Luning, known as the wonder
group, located last year by l.. ]. VIII
hanson, for the Frontier Exploration
company of Nevada, of which Charles
S. Sprague is president and chief stock
holder. Mr.. Posey paid Mr.. Sprague
$25,O00 cash consideration. and 100000
shares of stock of a company to be
formed as an auxiliary or subsidiary
of the Nevada Copper company, the en-
tire purchase price being estimated at
$4,000.
The terms of the sale are that work
shall begin upon the property within
S days, and Mr.. Posey will push oper-
ations on the property on large scale
and with his accustomed vigor.

J. P. LOTUS, his wife and baby boy
and Harry Bryant, one of the legal
lights of the Consolidated
made flying automobile trip to Round
Mountain last Wednesday, returning to
Goldfeld the following day. The trip
was more in the nature of an outing
than anything else, but J. p. LOTUS
cannot break himself of the habit of
bringing back the gold. That explains
how the automobile happened to have
as ballast, 500 ounces of bullion upon
it's arrival in Goldfeld. Mr.. LOTUS
just happened to see the big retort
kicking around the Sunnyside mill of
the Round Mountain Mining company.
and took it along with him, just for
ballast.
This small addition to the visible
wealth of the world has no special sig
nificance. 1t is merely the product of
the Sunnyside mill for the month of
June. The mill at present has a capac-
ity of 20 tons a day and makes total

The Nevada Frisbie mine in the Gold
Ridge district, about three miles from
Ida, has a shaft down zoo feet and
about 600 feet of lateral work has been
done. C. w. Hayes. who controls the
property, believes 1t is one Of the big
gest free milling propositions in the
state. 1t contains several bodies of ore
from four to twenty feet wide and aver
aging $50 a ton. The principal work
being done now, is in blocking out the
ore that has been uncovered. Plans are
also being prepared for the erection OF
a mill to handle the output OF the
mine.

MISSING SHIP,
NOT A WRECK,
IS IN DISTRESS
City of Panama Sighted.
Cargo Adrift Shows
Vessel Is in
Danger.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-Last
nights fears that the Pacific Mail
steamer City Of Panama foundered with
all hands have been set at rest by the
sighting Of that vessel far out at sea
on Pigeon Point, about seventy miles
south Of San Francisco That the
steamer is in serious trouble. however,
and may need hurried assistance is
shown by the washing ashore during
the day of thousands of railroad ties
and all of the lumber which made up
her deck load.
The washing ashore of these ties
and other articles of deck furnishes
some explanation Of the finding Of four
of the ships life RATS yesterday. II is
believed among shipping men that when
the deck load was carried on by the
storm which prevailed since the steam
eF left San Francisco at 4 o'clock Mon
day afternoon il also carried the RATS
away. These, according 10 the Pacific
Mail officials, were always kept par
TALLY provisioned. This accounts for
water, crackers. and ropes found on all
the RATS which drifted ashore.
In view OF the fact that the vessel
has been in distress for the past three
DAYS at least, immediate aid has been
sent out.
