Georgia Day Plans at jamestown.
President Roosevelt has, upon his
own initiative, made one change in
the program for Georgia day at the
Jamestown exposition, June 10. In
stead of transferring from the May
flower to the ba.tleship Georgia and
completing the trip to jamestown on
the battleship. he will remain on
board the yacht from the time he
leaves Washington navy yard until he
reaches the exposition grounds. He
will visit the, battleship during the
day, but his headquarters will be on
board the Mayflower.
President Roosevelt will speak from
the exposition grandstand at II o'clock
in the morning. From there he and
his parry will drive direct to the Geor:
gia building. Arrangements have been
made for the reception there OF the
party. Mrs. Roosevelt viii be met by
Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Hughes, hostess
OF the Georgia building.
The president and his party viii be
entertained at luncheon Dye the Geor-
gia lady commissioners.
Following the luncheon there win
be a reception to G1orgiaEs only, ad-
mission by card. This arrangement,
was made at the request Of the pres
ident. Later in the afternoon there
will be reception given by Atlanta,
and on June II Savannah will give
a reception in the Georgia building.
. Governor Terrell and President
Mitchell have been invited BY Presi-
dent Roosevelt to accompany him on
the Mayfower on the morning CT June

soaIe-Infected Trees Burned.

At meeting of the state entomo-
logical board, held at the capitol, a
few days ago, the recent action Of
State En.omologist R. I. Smith, in
condemning and ordering burned
peach trees in the orchard of Dr.
J. A. Johnson of Gordon county was
approved.
This action probably means a test
in the courts of the legal extent to
which the state entomologist can go in
protecting the orchards of the state
against pests. An examination OF Dr.
Johnson's orchard showed it to be
infested with San Jose scale. He was
directed to spray his trees in accord
ance with the rules laid down by the
department. This he refused to do.

Total Cost of Gordon Monument.
The Gordon monument commission
has settled up practically all OF its in
debtedness, and the sculptor, Scion H.
Borglum, has been paid in full, except
for the bronze bas-reliefs, which are
to so on the sides OF the pedestal, and
which have no, yet been made. These
will cost about $1,000. The total cost
of the monument and pedestal was
$18,40 This does not include any OF
the incidental expenses or the bas-
relefs, which will bring the total cost
to about $23,OO0 Even at thai the
Gordon monument was erected for
$1,000 less than the Wade Hampton

FIRST ORE SHIPPED
FROM ROSEBUD CAMP

Today. or at least, tomorrow. Over
streets freight teams will start for Hum
boldt House with five tons of Brown Pal
ace ore. says the Rosebud Mining News.
Arrangements have been made by the
manager of the property, Captain Alfene
case with the Western Ore Purchasing
company at Reno to handle the Brown
Palace shipments. Twenty tons of high
grade await transportation, but owing to
the light wagons used by the freighter the
first shipment of ore from the Rosebud
district will be divided into four INSTALL
mentS.
This ore was taken from the shallow
shaft and from the open cut on top of
Brown Palace hill-ore with brittle and
ruby silver glittering all over its sides
ore that will yield way up in the pictures
ore that will remind old-timers of Vir-
ginia City of the palmy days of the Com
stock
The date of the initial shipment of ore
from the Rosebud district should be a
gala day for the camp. 1t should be a
day of rejoicing and celebration. The
camp has been handicapped in many
ways bad roads, difficulty in securing
mining timbers. conflicts and many other
setbacks some one of which usually comes
to ali young camps but which have
seemed to gather in fun force in the Rose
bud district.
This shipment of ore from the Brown
Palace should be followed by similar ac-
ton by the manager of the Dreamland,
and il is probable that the Golden Anchor
will be numbered among the shippers
shortly after the ore shoot is reached in
the drift now being run from the tunnel
on that property.

STOCK EXCHANGE TALK.
Members of Old Organization Say
Soreheads Father New Move.

The talked of organization of another
mining stock exchange, as told Of yes
terday morning, was treated with cOnsid-
cradle leyity by members of the old eX-
change yesterday. Those who were in
clined to give the subject a moments Sc
r1ous consideration expressed the opinion
that there was no more room for two ex-
changes here now than there was eight
years or more ago, when a second ex-
change was started and they had no idea
that. if new organization was perfected
now that ii would fare any better than
did the old one, which simply tended to
confuse the public and spoil what mar
ket there was. The other institution ran
its course in a few months and the pres
ent exchange finally helped il out of the
hole and out of business bV buving its
furniture and effects.
1t is claimed that the strict enforce
ment of the commission rule bv the OK
listing exchange is what is stirring up a
few soreheads who have been in the
habit of working the members. so far as
possible. for reduced commissions Some
members. it is claimed. reached the con-
clusion that it would pay them to sell
their seats for few hundred dollars and
thus escape the payment of annual dues
and then rely on getting their business
done for next to nothing. When il was
decided to make il a serious offense for
any member to cut commissions there
was scramble for memberships and the
price OF seats jumped from a few hun
dred dollars to over 5000 Now. il is con-
tended. the sOTehead element is deter
mined TO get even by starting another ex-
change.

FROM MOUNTAIN CITY
REGION OF NEVADA

S. NJ Levy of the National Develop
ment company's field staff has returned
from a two weeks trip into Nevada
camps where his company is interested.
Among other places he was in Gold Greek.
in the Mountain City country, where the
development of a gold proposition, the
Coleman mines, has been under way for
the better part OF the last year Mr.. Levy
reports that the ground is looking well
and that drift from the 150-foot level
of the new shaft is showing up first
class ore in generous quantity. The work
has been necessarily rather slow on ac-
count of the difficulty in getting men,
but everything is in full swing at the
present time.
Mr.. Levy says there is quite a little
activity in the Mountain City region and
that some good ore is being hauled out of
there this season. At Tuscar0ra every
body is waiting for the campaign of the
$50 100000 company that has tied up all the
mines of that district and the feeling all
through that section is good.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
July Was the Heaviest Month in Bus
mess Volume for Sig Years.

Not since stock boom days of 1901 has
the local stock and mining exchange re-
corded as large a months business as that
for July, finished yesterday afternoon.
The secretarys books show that q total
OF 1,7S3,672 shares of stock, with a selling
value of 81, 200, 647.53, changed hands. Yes
terday's contribution to the totals was
1855 shares and $s1,98475. Through all the
weeks of lively trading prices have been
on the jump and many stocks selling for
cents share less than ninety days ago
are now bringing dollars. 1t has been
strenuous market and brokers who had
figured on vacations were compelled to
stay at home and look after business
Notwithstanding the heavy trading of yes
terday. there were signs that toning
down time is being approached and the
probabilities are that before August is
very old there will be such a falling off
in business that exchange members can
take the rest they so much need. The
weather is holding unusually warm and
no one will care to go the pace much
longer.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during yester-
days two regular and open board calls:

Producing Matte Worth
$400 a Ton.
20 TONS IN FEW HOURS
EVERYTHING IN SHAPE FOR DIV
IDEND CAREER.
20 TONS IN FEW HOURS

The Lost Packer company is down to
real business again. Its new smelter was
started up on Friday last and O'Clock
in the afternoon copper-gold matter was
being run into bars at a lively clip. At
O'Clock on Saturday, when visiting of
flc1als left the works to return to Salt
Lake, twenty tons of matte, worth over
$500 ton, or over S, 900 worth, was piled
up ready for shipment TO the smelters
here.
treasurer, Henry Welsh, together with Di-
rectors E. q. Rowe and James R. Ivers
were in the party that went to Loon creek
10 witness the blowing-in of the smeltsr
and TO inspect the mines of the company
They returned yesterday morning very
much eiated over the manner in which
things were moving when they left and
particularly with the shape in which they
found the property.
1t will be remembered that the com
pany's smelter was blown-in last year
ana thaL after running smoothly for a
lew hours, the carelessness of one of the
employees resulted in the breaking of a
water Jacket and the burning out of the
furnace. which had to be practically re-
Quilt 1t required so long to get new
material, and the season was so far ad-
Vanced before it was landed at the plant
that no attempt was made TO do anvthins
with it until this spring In the mean
TIME large force of men was kept on
development a the property and the
blocking out of huge quantities of ore
was continued throughout the fall. winter
and spring months.
All this delay and big expense necessi-
lated the levying of an assessment of
81 share on the company's stock. This
was cheertully and promptly paid ON prac-
ucally ali of the stock ana now the cam
palgn OF production begins under auspices
tndt means the early entry of the conn
pany into the ranks of Idaho's big divi-
oehd-paylng mines as the smelter will
probably produce $4,000 during the first
thirty days. III

ELY-GIROUX EXTENSION.
New York Capital Has Landed Con.
troll of Company,

Ely, July d.-Another big mining trans
I D was made yesterday when z. B.
Drum OF this city sold out his interest In
the Ely-GirouX Extension Copper conn
pany property. The purchasers are New,
ork capitalists and the deal was made
by a. n. Magnan, one of the heavy stocl--
hoIders OF the company. Mr.. Drum pur-
chased his interest in the property on No
Nember /, 1906, and was the onIv local
person who held any Of the stock The
consideration was very satisfactory fo
Mr.. Drum, and although the exact amount
IS not stated, it is known to be a neat
sum.
The Ely-Giroux Extension is centrally
located, being in the heart of the big pro
dueers and adjoining the Cumberland EIv
the Ely Central and the famous Giroux
Consolidated The New York purchasers
J nave 6een anxious to get complete con-
4 ifoi or the property and sent Mr.. Mag
nan TO Ely TO endeavOr to complete the
sale He and Mr.. Drum had CONSUL
tatlon today with the result that he
agreed to take over the latter's big inter-
est at his Drums) figures
Mr.. Magnan, who is the president of
the company, leaves this morning for New
York He has inspected the property and
commencing operations with keystone
dr1ll. The company intends to develop the
Extension on large scale and as soon
as the examination with the drills are
made a shaft will be sunk.
We have some of the strongest people
in New York back of the proposition
he said, land they intend to make a mine
and not a stock proposition out of the
property. They are all sanguine as to the
outlook and are willing to expend all the
money that will be necessary TO develop
the mine. We feel that we have one of
the best undeveloped properties in the dis
trict"
He said that two keystone drills will
be put to work on the mine and holes will
be sunk In all sections OF the property.
One of the drills, which he purchased in
New York, arrived today and passed
through Ely on the way to the mine.
Lee Glockner, the well-known mining
man. has been put in charge of the Ely
Giroux Extension and will commence op-
erations next Thursday with the drill
He will operate in all parts of the claims
Negotiations are being made here for pur-
chasing another drill and il is planned
10 operate with both machines until the
mine has been thoroughly prOspected.
The company intends to start operations
on a permanent basis and for that rea-
son will select the best locality for
shaft. When a shaft is sunk it will most
probably be a regular compartment shaft
and as soon as the ore body is encoun-
tered the ore will be taken to the sur
face and active production will be in
progress.

NEVADA FAIRVIEW
MAKES ANOTHER STRIKE

Following up the developments afford
ed by the rich strike of last week, in a
north drift from shaft at No. 2 tunnel,
Superintendent Williams of the Nevada
Fairvfew, started a drift TO the south, and
with but a few shifts ran into the high
grade ore there. The ore encountered is
Identical in character with that now be-
ing broken down in the opposite DRIFT
and the first assay return showed SlOS50
in gold and silver values, says the Fair
view News.
As if in accord with the great strikes
registered at these two points every face
of ore on the entire property has lately,
been giving better results Eight average
samples deposited on Thursday of this
week brought in a bunch of excellent as
saws, all of them unusually good. Whlle
three show high-grade shipping values
The ASSAYS were taken from all the works,
and are the most encouraging bunch yet
obtained by the superintendent.
In response to the gradual growth OF
the ore bodies at this property, both in
size and value. the stock OF the company
has been gradually climbing. From
cents in May it has shown steady in
crease until it is now selling at Y cents
in Salt Lake City, where it is listed. II
is one of the very few stocks in the state
to show a gain through the summer
months. entirely due to actual develop
ment of pay ore bodies.

carefully over the Ely Witch and left
impressed with the fact that the ground
was going to meet every expectation. At
the present time a crosscut is being driv-

and ore should be encountered almost
any day.
The White Pine Lead company Mr.
Williams states, is looking well. Ship
mentS have been commenced and during
the season a considerable quantity will
be sent out the forty miles to the rail-
road. The ore of this property runs
around 60 per cent lead and from ten to
twenty ounces silver per ton.

FLORENCE LEASERS.
Section of eoIdfieId That Is Now At
tracing Much Attention.

GOidfield, July 31.-Now that orc hos
i D9eh opened IN the Syndicate lease. min
lLIg men are watching with interest the
ueNelopment of that section of the district
iylng south Of the Little Florence lease
Wnere score or more of leasers and
mining companies are searching for the
Lltte Florence vein, one of the richest
shoots of ore ever opened i'm a GolffieId
mine. Last week the Little Florence mar
keted selected lot of rich quartz weigh
ing, net, 100 pounds on which the re
turns were trifle over 81 a pound This
ore was taken out of a ten-inch strea
OI unusual faness in the four-foot body
OF shipping ore. During the month Of
June the lease produced $4,000 net the
ore averaging 1904 a ton after paying from
80 TO $50 ton treatment charges and
freight.
AS a result promoters have twisted the
VEN all over the south end of the dis
trict, until its course would resemble the
trail of a side-winder From its trend i'm
the Little Florence lease it seemed that
the Florence Extension and Red Hills
were in line for the extension. and both
are faVor1te stocks. In both ore bodies of
generous size have been opened, carving
values around SO a ton. with now and
then bunch of high-grade that makes
the pulse beat faster. and every man in
town is willing to gamble that the coun-
try there will develop other phenomenal
mines.
Leasers Turned Loose.
Adjacent to the south claims of the
lOTtnCe, on the east SIDE, the Merger
company has turned the leasers loose on
a big undeveloped territory and head
frames and gasoline hOistS are as thick
as they were on the Mohawk when the ia
nous nine leases were hosting the pic
ture ore.
AS for the Mohawk. it is producing an
immense tonnage of high class ores, both
from the ground relinquished by the leas-
ers and from the east side of the shaft,
where two big ore shoots have been
opened The richest ore is taken from
the west side, under the old workings
of the leasers and adjacent to them.
Contrary to widely published reports,
the lease blocks. with the exception of the
Frances Mohawk are not in bad condi-
ton. Connections have been made with
them and the company is mining, with
machine drills, several five-fOot faces that
break all the way from $500 to $1,000 a ton.
In the Truett block a fOurteen-inch seam
is maintaining an average value of $4,000.
This class of ore is stored in a burglar
proof vault at the mine until one or two
carloads have accumulated. 1t goes, gen.
orally, to the Selby smelter at Vallejo,
Cal. The regular output from the COM
pany works is about 1000 tons week of
800 ore. Everything under this grade Is
left in the mine for the big mill which
is to be built. In addition Ieasers are
shipping about 100 tons a day
On the east side of the Mohawk the
leasers on the Gold Wedge fraction of the
Jumbo Extension. four of them, are in
high grade, the Frances-M Mohawk, which
formerly operated on the Mohawk, being
the latest to strike the big shoots, which
cross the Wedge fraction travelling from
the Mohawk in a northeasterly direction
to the Red Top
