New Ofk. Jan. 2O.--Ine new de-
cline in stocks had very discouraging
effect on speculative sentiment in the
market, coming after the slight re-
covery which had been achieved from
the sharp fall of last week. The dull
ness and sluggishness of this week
have been viewed as a waiting period
which was to end with a definite ten

days fall in prices conveyed the inn
preston that the question had been
settled in favor of a renewa. of the

turc of the days market was not the
weight of the selling in spite of the
weak showing. but rather the almost
total lack of any measures Of support

pal stocks in the list slipped down

No solcitude was manifested for the

Well Known
Engineer Dead

GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 22.-
Thomas Cornish, one of the best
known mining engineers in the coun-
try, and formerly superintendent OF
the Stratton-Independen mine at
Cripple Creek, died at Steinkas ranch
on the edge of Death Valley, yester-
day of pneumonia.
Mr.. Cornish started for the Fune-
raj Range several days ago in compa-
ny with a party of eastern capitalists
for an inspection of the Lost Burro
group of claims. When near Stem
ka's ranch, Cornish, who was a sick
man when he left Goldneld, became
so i'll that his companions were com
PEELED to leave him at the ranch,
while they returned to this city and
sent for a physician to attend him.
News of Mr.. Cornishs death was
received in Goldfield today and an au-
tOmobile was at once sent to the ranch
to bring in the body.

RENO August 23.-When the Over

day F. I. Kruanaga, little Japanese,
stepped from a Pullman and at his
side appeared tall, beautiful white
girl, his wife. kruanaga has come
to Reno to start a real estate office

on several pieces of real estate in the
city.
This is the first Japanese that has
ever been in Reno with a white
woman as his wife and the appearance
Of the little brown man on the street
with this attractive young white wom-
an created quite sensation. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. kruanaga refused to talk
to newspaper men.
The Japanese are coming into Reno
by the score and at present there are
several Japanese restaurants and busi-
ness houses in the city The Japan
csc are rapidly taking the pieces of
white girls as domestics, and in all
circles of labor they are gaining a
foothOld. In Sparks there is a large
employment agency and nearly all of
the section work on the division be-
tween Carlin and Sparks is done by
Japanese.

Little Coal
For Nevada

According to the Reno Journal of
this morning the transportation COM
panies have sent out a circular stat
ing that the cost of transportation of
coal to Reno will be reduced 81 ton.
This sounds good, but with the letter
comes the news that it will be almost
impossible for the people of that city
To depend entirely upon coal as fuel
as the outlook at the present time is
that the mines will be unable to fill
any of the Reno orders as but a small
supply is being mined and the orders
are being filled in the order of their
receipt. Many of them have been in
the hands of the companies for the
past year and these people are getting
all the coal that is being mined
A company are figuring on putting
a supply of oil and fixtures for the
burning of the same in Reno and use
this material instead of wood and
coal. The outlook is anything but
promising.

OlinghouSe is
A Great Camp

Although there is very little said
about Olinghouse Canyon and the
mines of that district, the fact re-
mains that Olinghouse is one of the
best mining camps in the state.
There are more than a dozen mines
being actively worked in the district,
and all of them are coming rapidly
to the front as producers. The great
est mine in the camp is the Nevada
Consolidated property. This property
is owned by w. l.. Stevenson and
| others, who also own the large re-
duction works at Wadsworth and the
railroad running between WadswOrth
and OlinghOuse. The company has
three electric hoists working, and is
shipping more than zoo tons OF ore
! from the mines to lno Tlill every day.
! One OF the hoistS Is ting ore from
drifts on the 6U0-fOot level, while the
other two are lifting ore from the
zoo and 300-foot levels There are at
present S4 men employed under
| ground in the Nevada Consolidated

The Fuel
Famine of TODAY

The Salt Lake Tribune prints
complete review and practical state
nent of the coal situation as it ex-
lists today. From this the most i'm
portant fact appears to be that a
cruel scarcity of coal is certain on
the opening of the cool weather. 1t
is also evident that the great trouble
in the case is two-fold: First, the
impossibility of getting coal miners
enough to dig out the coal; second
the insufficient motive power on the
railroads. AS to the latter, it must
be understood that the claim made
by the railroad managers that they
have plenty of coal cars is correct
it is the locomotives that are lacking.
1t is clear too, that extraordinary
efforts are being made to open up new
coal mines, to reopen old ones, and
to increase the output OF those which
have been worked right along. But
the scarcity and high price of labor
hamper those efforts, and with the
utmost reasonable expectation real
lied, it is evident that we are facing
coal scarcity more severe, with less
prospect of relief immediate, than
ever before.

Two Railroads
lie Reports

Two railroads operating in this state
have filed their reports with the rail-
road commission of Nevada. These
are the Virginia and Truckee and the
Eureka and Palisade. The former
shows a great volume of business and
the latter will ask relief from the
commission as the enforcing OF the
maximum rate would close the road
to future operations. The report
follows:
The net earnings for the Virginia
& Truckee railroad for the year end
ing June 80, 1907, were $9S,960.3C
while during the same period the Eu
reka & Palisade railroad only netted
its owners $1,9353O.
The Virginia & Truckee, which is
57.4S miles in length, had a total in
come during the IL months OF $297
51633. The total operating expenses
were $1S2,35S.9S, leaving a net in
come of s113,15735. Taxes amounted
to s14197.35.
| The gross earnings of the Eurek;
| & Palisade for the year were S112
70O64.

The Location
of Oil Lands

Oil lands may be located as placer
but actual discovery of Oil must first
be made. The amount of ground
which can be located as a placer claim
is limited to twenty acres to each
person, but an association of persons
may locate a claim in common, which
will in the aggregate not exceed
twenty acres to each person in the
association, and not to exceed 100
acres in all. In such case separate
discovery is not required on each
twenty acres, but discovery on any
part is sufficient to hold the entire
quarter section. The following table
taken from Wilson's mining laws
shows the dimensions of palcer claims
46.69x466.69 contains acres
66Ox330 feet contains 10 acres
1320x66O feet contains 20 acres
SOOx1O69 feet contains 20 acres
933 1-3x933 1-3 feet contains 20
acres.
13G0x1320 feet contains 40 acres.
264Ox2460 feet contains $50 acres.
