SUPERINTENDENT
FOR The BELMONT
:. ~. BRADY SUCCEEDS TO THE
POSITION VACATED by II.
y. HENDERSON.

5. u. Brady yesterday formally
took charge of the Belmont as super
tntendent. II. =. Henderson having
resigned. MIR. Brady arrived here on
last Saturday from Houghton, Mich,
where he was for years superinten-
dent OF the Michigan Copper Mining
Company. Mr.. Henderson, the for
mer superintendent only returned
from Philadelphia on Thursday last,
where he went to attend the meeting
of the company. This was the meet,
ing which resulted in the turning
down of Brock, following which a
number of changes have taken place.
Among the changes was the cleo
ton of Morgan Tillinghast as vice
president and general manager, who
has been in the camp for several days
past, and 1t is more than likely that
Mr.. Brady came to Tonopah at his
invitation, although there was no in
timation of the change until yester-
day. H. Morris Teaf has been made
auditor Of the Belmont company. Mr..
Teaf takes no ones place, the COM
pany having been without an audi
tor since the withdrawal of Mr.
Charles from that position.
Mr.. Brady, when asked if he CON
templated any changes in the work
in the mine, said that it was too early
to promise that, as he had not thor
oughly inspected the workings.
You see," he said, 1.-THE Belmont
is not mine that one can go through
in day. For my part, would like
to devote day to level, and then
would get some idea of the prop
erty, for the Belmont is mine If
ever there was one"
"Of course there will be changes
in the methods of working the
mine" was the way that Mr.. Tilling-
hast responded to the query. 1--WE
are going to work the Belmont ac
cording to our ideas of how a mine
SnOulu De worked, ana we nave q
mine there without doubt. There
will not be as many shipments of
high grade ore; we intend to block
that out, mix it with the lower grade
and send it to the mill. The mill
is in very good condition, fine condi-
ton. / will not deny that for the
present we will not take out enough
ore to keep sixty stamps busy. but
we intend to handle the ore of other
mines and make the mill paying
proposition.

STOCK MARKET
IS VERY Dull

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The with
drawai of effective support for prices.
except in spotty. irregular fashion.
and dull inclining tendency, were
the reflection of a disappointment on
the street at the hardness with which
the dislocation of financial affairs is
working towards correction. IL is
clear that the speculative party which
started an advance in prices and held
them over to the end of the year,
counted upon the initiation before
that time of reilux of cash reserves
into the larger banking centers and
relaxation of the strength in al
departments of the money market,
which is consequence. Confidence
is unimpaired that after restoration
of credit there will be sudden heavy
refiuX into the bank reserves and
something like a redundancy of sup
plies in credit market The impress
sion has taken hold of the specula-
tive element in the stock market,
however, that miscalculation has
been made for the period of arrival
of these conditions and revised anti
cipations are disposed to pat it for
ward beyond the turn of the year.
The tone of admonition of some of
the banks to speculative borrowers
and running up of call money rate
this week carry an unmistakable in
timation to that effect.
A dull recovery set in after mid
day with decline in the call money
rate which eliminated in brisk rise
in the last hour, except in extreme
cases of early losses recovered and
most of the favored stocks were quot
ed materially above yesterdays clos
| ing. Bonds were heavy

GOOD SHOWING
FOR TONOPAH

The pay day of the miners which
occurred on the tenth has proved one
of the most satisfactory of pay days
all around that has occurred in many
months in the camp. More than $780,
900 was cashed for the men by two
houses alone in the town yesterday
and the day before. The Tonopah
Liquor Company cashed checks to the
amount of $3S,760.2S, and the Casino
to the amount of $22,462.75.
The men of the railroad will be
paid off today, and this means anoth-
er $4,000 to be disbursed in the
camp. This makes pretty good
showing for Tonopah.

with increasing gravity. 1t is said
to be fact, demonstrated by reliable
statistics, that whereas 50 years ago
more than 20 per cent. Of the college

than 6 per cent. of them look toward
the ministry as life work. OF course,

It is notorious that there is a contin.

man teachers, dGe to the fact that
the number of male applicants of can.
dldates for such positions is steadily
declining. Even the colleges and 9th.
er educational institutions of high
rank experience this difficulty. OF
course, the main reason for a grow.
ing scarcity of theological students,
as well as of male school teachers and
college professions, is the demand for
men in other callIngs that offer great
