can finance bills are not altogether
well founded.
Cashier Gillett, of the First Ma
tional bank, Chicago, says: Il be-
lieve the 6 per cent rate for money
will hold strong throughout the fall
1t is wonderful how business keeps
up. Money is going to be tighter
right along than a year ago. We
for the crops. Country banks are
well loaned up and hold large
amount of paper"
John Mitchell, president of the H.
linois Trust e Savings bank, says
there is no trouble in getting 6 per
cent for money. His bank has placed
large amounts during the past week
at this figure, and could loan all its
surplus funds east at per cent If
desirable.
In st. Louis the time money mar
ket is quiet. Sixty-day paper is be-
ing taken at IL per cent, while
three months, four months and six
months paper is uniformly command
ing per. cent. Business in COM
mercial paper is principally for the
account of out-of-town institutions.
The banks of Ely have been
obliged to call In some loans in or
der to increase their reserve fund,
and that condition probably follows
in all banking institutions. The Ely
banks are not loaning much money
and will not open their vaults until
the money market becomes more
settled and securities present a more
solid foundation. This condition is
brought about, not because mining
stocks and other securities are not
worth as much as they have ever
been, but to provide against any
contingency that may arise.
There is difference of opinion
existing among well-informed men
in the local field as to the future out
look. Some say that the immediate
future does not look bright to them
for mining stocks, while others
think the depression is about at an
end, and money will be more plenti-
full ere long. Local money is, per-
haps, as good an index to the situa-
tion as one can be governed by.

TREASURY SHIPMENTS OF STANDARD DOLLARS
Eastern Trust Companies Say There No Trouble To Get Six
Per Cent Money-.The Local Banks Are Prepared
To Meet Any Contingency That May Arise.

The New York banks continue to
gain from sub-treasury, chiefly on
redemption of per cent bonds
Revenues of treasury. however, are
increasing, while the expenditures
are falling off relatively The deficit
now is about $2,000,000 less than at
this time a year ago and the early
expectation of an excess of expendi-
lures over revenues for July of about
500 900, 900 seems to be doomed to
disappointment. The bulk of the ex-
penditures are always made early in
the month, while the revenues con-
tinue unchanged
cities remains generally unfavorable
to the movement of currency,
but is nowhere low enough
to indicate the necessity of shipping
any considerable amount of currency
from New York.
Treasury shipments of standard
silver dollars and subsidiary silver
to the interior are large than they
were at this time year ago, show
ing continued activity in business.
The treasury still holds in trust
for national banks $256,000 of the
matured per cent bonds of 1907.
The fact that the banks which own
these bonds have not applied for re-
demption of them is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of the hardness of the own
ers of nearly $15,000,00O more of
these bonds outstanding in sending
them to the treasury for payments.
1t seems probable that the redemp-
ton of these bonds may drag along
for two months longer. If SO, the
payment of them will offset at least
partly the excess Of revenues during
that period.
The foreign exchange market is
steady and there is a good demand
for bankers 60 and 80 days bills,
and these are offered with some free
dom, which indicates that reports

ping. Another assay taken from the
same vein, at the surface, SO yards
eastward, gave returns of 500 a ton.
One of the most prominent engineers
OF this district states that in his opin-
ion the Golden Triangle has one of
the best looking properties in the
camp and it is his Judgment that it
will surely make a mine.
In the Saw Tooth section, the War
ner-Stewart company has a most ex-
cellent showing, having two parallel
veins, opened up in five places and
showing good shipping values in all
of them. A main working shaft is
being sunk and is now down rs feet,
with ore in value from $40 to $500
ton. 1t is of the ebert character
becoming more oxydized as depth is
gained, the gold values increasing.
On the White Cat claim, owned by
the Rosebud Investment company, a
12-inch vein has been obtained from
which assays have been obtained run
The Five of Diamonds group,
owned by Parker and associates and
lying about five miles south of Rose
bud have six-foot shaft down in ore
containing as high as $210, silver
and gold.
At Saw Tooth, Ludwig and associ-
ates have a 10-inch streak of galena
ore opened up in two places, 200
yards apart, which contains ore val
ued at over 500 a ton-namely, $40
to $14 in gold, $26 to $50 in silver
and from $40 to $40 in lead.

SCOTTY THE FAK|R
AND HIS GOLD MINE
A MINER REFUSES TO GIVE THE
LOCATION, BUT SAYS THEY
ARE RICH.

There is in Goldfield this week a
man who has recently returned from
a personal inspection of the mines of
Walter Scott, says the Goldfield Tri-
bune. In fact, he has even aided
the man in removing some of the
ore. His identity is not disclosed,
owing to his earnest request to re-
main in the background, but he
youches for his information, and
even shows some of the ore.
Scotty has three mines. One of
them is close to the Stenikas ranch,
in Death valley. The other two are
further into the valley, but are not
so rich as the first named.
There are strong reasons for the
belief that the mystery of Walter
Scott's mine will have been solved
to the satisfaction of every one with
in few weeks, at the latest.
Scotty failed to make good ms
promise to show newspapermen OF
Goldfield his property to which SO
much mysticism has always attached.
He said he could not get through
with his autos, but he refused to
take members of the press to the
mine by means of mule teams, such
as he himself always uses in reach
ing the secret treasure box.
The one near the ranch is opened
I'm with a tunnel. There is three
inch seam of ore through which free
gold sparkles. This ore has been
stripped for 800 feet, and probably
runs much further.
Average assays from this strir
show about $4,000 in gold to the
ton. irrespective of the lead values
Both of the other properties have
tunnels. as Scotty believes in this
form of development work, rather
than in vertical shafts, especially
when the mines are SO isolated al
are his. On the mine near the rancf
Scotty has an Indian and whlte
man employed, each working days
only.
All three properties are chimneys
or blowouts, and are said TO oe lhe
only ones of consequence Tor E'lies
around. Some of the picked cpeci
mems run high into the pictures.
Scotty will probably compromise
the threatened litigation on the par
of New York people who grubstakee
him. and who now demand half
interest in his mines. He is sald tt
be in California.
The visitor is convinced that upor
the return of Scotty TO Goldfield HI
will take the public into his conn
dence by disclosing the exact loca

Great activity is in evidence the
whole length of Robinson canyon in
this district, and | doubt If buster
section can be found in any part OF
the state than that presented from
Ely to Kimberly. On the west OF
Ely is a perfect beehive of industry.
First comes the building of Ely City,
two miles west, at the mouth of the
canyon. Twelve miles further on the
building of the largest smelter ever
built is being constructed, employing
about 700 men at present, with more
to go on Just as soon as the work is
far enough advanced to make room
for them. So | say that Robinson
district is all right now.
1t would be strange, indeed, If a
country so heavily mineralized as
is Cherry Creek, Ward, Taylor, Mum
cy Creek, Mizpah, Dolly Warden, Bald
Mountain, Saw Mill canyon, Black
Horse, Osceola, Contact and other
camps in the county should not show
up good values with work. More
especially should this be true in a
county that has been great pro-
ducer in years past. The minerals
are here and only require work to
| produce them.
White Pine will be one of the
greatest sections in the west, in a
mining way, inside of three or fouI
years, and if any one doubts this
statement let them wait and watch
and If they are not sorry that they
did not take chance in this county

the best field for the prospector Of
any in the state.

RUSHING WORK ON
THE NEVADA NORTHERN

Another steam shovel has been
brought into requisition to rush the
building of the High Line ore track
north of High street, connecting
the main track with the High Line
ore track running to Kimberly. A
large force of men, teams, dump
carts and horses, and track layers
are employed between the High
street school house and the eastern
end of the line and it is expected
that a connection will be made very
shortly.

Bush has held a United States pat
