MINING, MARKETS AND METAL.
RANGE CATTLE
IN FINE FORM
Have Had Best Season In Twenty
Years...Abundance of Feed and
Water...WOOl land MnttOn Up.

Though cattle and hide prices con-
tinue to be off, cattlemen of White
Pine and of all Nevada are manag-
ing to look cheerful. They say the
season is the best the cattle indus
try has known in years and that the
prospects are very favorable for next
year to distance this in the matter of
plenty of water and feed
Abundant SHOWS last winter and
spring, succeeded by plenty of rain,
made for the best possible conditions
on the range. Now another winter
is setting in which promises to dupli-
cate the last in making for abund-
ant water supply in cold storage in
are fat and in prime condition to go
through the winter.
Local cattlemen have been holding
pretty close to their hoof posses
sions, sales having been light to this
time and promising to grow even
more so.
Beef animals at from SIS to 1922
look pretty good staying on the
range, for a better figure is sure in
the next year. There is nothing at
tractive in the market price for hides
either. They have dropped steadily
from 23 " in February last to ID at
the present time. Buyers have pock-
eted considerable losses on the de-
cline. Fourteen has held for some
time and looks to be the bottom
Butchers are holding at this figure
for an advance. Some movement
has lately been on foot among hide
owners to the end of building ware
house in Ely City and storing supply
until better prices come.
Sheep have been good for the flock
masters this season. Mutton has re-
manned up as has also wool, the latter
commanding II to IS.
Hay is reported plentiful in the
county, the season having been good
on the second cutting, which made
up for short crop on the first by rea-
son of a late season of cold. 1t is
bringing from $40 to 1924.

have operated at various times with
more or less success but there have
been few competent mill men who
ever had chance to demonstrate
what could be odne here in the way
of profitable mining and it is due to
the failures by the incompetents that
has kept the district from forging
to the front many years ago as a
large and steady gold producing
camp.
A start has been made in the right
direction by the Boston Nevada COM
pany under the management of For
est d. Goody, and when he success
fully demonstrates to his hackers in
Denver and Philadelphia, as he soon
will do, that competent mill man
can make mining and milling in Os-
ceola district profitable, there will be
an immense increase in investments
here which will bring good returns
to the investors.
The Boston Nevada company is en-
ploying II men in the mine and mill
and the bins at the mill are being
filled with ore from the Cumberland
mine by two teams each making two
trips a day. The mill had to be over
hauled and is ready to be started and
probably will be before the first of
December.
The New Moon company is Cleve
land corporation that has been driv-
ing a long tunnel into Osceola noun
tain to connect with the shaft and it
is reported that connection has been
made but the local manager will not
confirm it. The mine has good bod
les of ore opened in the shaft work
ings which are to be still further de-
veloped before production will be at
tempted.
Charles w. Baby has a force of
men working on the Gilded Age doing
the annual assessment work for the
owner, M. B. Garaghan, of Ely.
The Garfield MING company is a
new Utah venture that has acquired
property in Mary Ann canyon above
Hogum Bar and is employing four
men.
Frank Anderson, working for jake
Henderson and Henry Nicholson, on
miles west of town, made strike of
ore assaying $12S ton.
James H. Marriott, the pioneer
merchant, reports conditions very
good for this time of year and antici-
pates the usual trade during the COM
ing winter.
William Butson and Will Swallow
are making delivery of 60 tons of
hay to the Marriott store which
comes from the Baker ranch in Snake
valley.
The Gold Bar Placer company,
which is probably the only mining
company in this county that paid a
dividend this year, has closed down
for the winter but is considering
some propositions to lease part of
the ground to parties who will pile
up a lot of gravel to be washed in
the spring.
The Boston Nevada company owns
large tract on the Hogum Bar and

His Troy Camp Demon
stratins Some Large
Bodies Of Pay Ore.
RICH STREAK OPENED
Runs From $4,000 to $4,000 In
GOld-..COpper, Lead and Silver
Values Being Developed.

Displayed in the Richard Office
window are some samples of fabu-
lousy rich gold ore brought in dur
ing the week from the properties of
Col. Richard Riepe at his Troy camp,
80 miles south of the city in Nye
county. The samples are from four
inch vein of fat in pay ledge six
feet wide on which sinking has been
going ahead for some time. The
high grade streak is running from
$4,000 to $4,000 per ton in gold
and assures profit from the develop
ment that has been done in no mod
est sum even should the opinion of
Mr.. Riepe that it is probably only a
pocket that he mas prove true.
The formation in which the ledge
is being worked06 granite and lime.
The shaft is now down So feet and
has had pay ore from the surface.
Very rich streaks and seams have
shown occasionally in the ledge but
that which is now yielding returns
is the richest and best defined that
has been had. A tunnel has been
run 1870 feet into the mountain be-
low the collar of the shaft and con-
nection will be made with it by the
shaft at depth of $50 feet. Fred
Frank is in charge of development at
this property, which Mr.. Riepe will
keep going ahead steadily.
Other development work Mr.. Riepe
has in progress at this time with re-
suits attending which are highly en-
couraging is in the Grant district.
A spring has been located at these
properties and is developing much
water, sufficient for the operation of
reduction works should they later
be desired. Finding of the spring is
considered very important, as the dis
trict had previously operated under
difficulties because of the lack of wa
ter. On his Poorman claim in the
Grant, Mr.. Riepe has shaft down
LOO feet and is now running drift
from that level. Rich copper show
ing prevails in the drift along with
lead and silver. On the Carpenter a
tunnel is in 100 feet and is expected
to catch the ledge within the next 80
feet This ledge on the surface car
ries good values in gold, silver and
lead. On the Ramshorn tunnel Is
just starting, as the result of eX-
cellent findings in an open cut made
for length of 80 feet on the ledge.
The ore showing obtained leads to
the belief that the property will make
a good mine. On the Riepe claim
the ledge has widened in the shaft
to 4 feet and is now making pay
ore, values being in gold, silver and
lead. Mr. Riepe is enthusiastic over
his camp and believes that the devel-
opment work which will be done
there within the next several months
will demonstrate big mining propo-
sitiOn.

CLARK TALKS ON COPPER.
Financial Stringency Hit 1t, He Says
Suspicion Must Cease Before
Improvement Comes.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. I.f.-Former
United States Senator W. A. Clark,
president of the Salt Lake railroad,
today returned from visit to the
copper producing sections of Arizona.
Asked for his opinion concerning the
financial conditions, he said:
Financial conditions will show
improvement just so soon as people
cease suspecting one another, and in
that way restore confidence.
The situation in regard to the
copper is about the same as it was
a month ago. Nearly all the wild
cat concerns have been put out of
business, and there has been heavy
curtailment in the established mines.
I'VE have curtailed production SO
per cent at Jerome and go per cent
in Montana. 1t is Improbable to sell
copper at 13 cents when it costs II
or 1212 cents to produce it.

COMMISSION MEN KICK
Say They Are Not Being Given Fair
Deal By Salt Lake Houses-..Talk
Changing Their Base Supply

Ely commission men are making
complaint of treatment accorded
them by Salt Lake wholesale COM
mission merchants and declare that
if it is continued they will swing
their trade to some other point. 1t
is said by the Elyites that when a
reduction is made in butter, for eX-
ample, the Salt Lake commission men
who have standing orders for certain
quantities to be shipped weekly, ship
the butter day before the reduction
goes into effect. On the other hand,
when the price is raised, they hold
the shipment until the raise is eff
fective. One local commission man
caught a large wholesale creamery
house in Salt Lake in this practice
and held SIP from the check paying
for the consignment, the difference in
the cost of the butter before and
after the advance in price. The in
voice of the butter bore the date
prior to the date of reduction, while
the shipping bill showed the goods
were sent on the day tne reduction
was effective. No complaint was
made by the Salt Lake Wholesale
house, which thus acknowledged the
mistake
There was busy local Thanksgiv-
ing trade in all the seasonable deli
cacies for the table. 1t was estimated
yesterday that the sales of poultry
for Thanksgiving ran to more than
1900 pounds, or about one pound of
poultry for every person in the town.
A wagon load of wild ducks were sold
on the streets Friday, mallards bring
ing $3.50 per pair. The birds went
rapidly and there was no haggling
over prices. Among the new delica-
cies that are now in the market are
fine navel oranges at S5 cents per
dozen. Dates are now here, at 20
cents per pound. Dill pickles, new
crop, are due to reach the market
tomorrow to sell at rs per gallon.
Comb honey is another treat, at 25
cents per pound. Cocoanuts are here
at from Is to 20 cents each.

which pulled up anchor and Joined the

parted for another port.
Katherine stood by the broad Win
dow in the sewing room in her favorite
attitude, her head sideways against
the pane, her eyes languidly gazing up
on the bay, fingers drumming this time
a very slow march on the window sill.
Dorothy sat in a rocking chair reading
a letter for the second time. There
had been silence in the room for some
minutes, accentuated rather than bro
ken by the quiet drumming Of the
girls fingers on the window sill. Final
ly Katherine breathed a deep sigh and
murmured to herself:
Ear called our navy fades away;
On u n and headland sinks the fire.
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
l wonder if I've got the lines right"
she whispered to herself. She had for
gotten there was any m else in the
room and was quite startled when
Dorothy spoke.
"Kate, that's a solemn change, from
Gilbert to Kipling. I always judge
your mood by your quotations. Has
life suddenly become too serious for
'Pinafore' or the 'MikadoY"
"Oh, I don't know said Katherine,
without turning round. "They are hu-
morous all, and so each furnishes
something suitable for the saddened
mind. Wisdom comes through under
standing your alphabet properly. For
instance, first there was Gilbert, and
that gave us G; then came Kipling,
and he gave us X; thus we get an alge-
braic formula, G. K, which are the
initials Of Ch~esterton, a still later ar
rival, and as the mind increases in de-
spondency it sinks lower and lower
down the alphabet until it comes 10
s, and thus we have Barn-yard Shaw,
an improvement on the Kail-yard
school, who takes the o pshaw view
Of life. And relaxing hold of him I
sink deeper until / come to Wv. w.
Jacobs. How 1 wish he wrote poetry!
He should be the humorist of all sail
ors, and perhaps some time he will de-
sert barges for battleships. Then /
shall read him with increased enjoy
ment."
II wouldn't give Mark Twain for the
lot" commented Dorothy. with de.
cision. At
"Mark Twain isn't yours to give, my
dear. He belongs to me also. You've
forgotten that comparisons are odious.

drop off to sleep and enjoy forty winks

be too harsh with the young man, Kate.
You are quite wrong in your surmises
about him. The Lieutenant never made
any such arrangement as you suggest,
because he talked of nothing but the
most commonplace subjects all the
time I was with him, as 1 was just
about to tell you, only you seem in
such a hurry to get away"
"Oh, that doesn't deceive me in the
least. I'll be back shortly, with the
young mans scalp dangling at my belt.
Now we shan't be long," and with that
Katherine went skipping downstairs.
Dorothy picked up a magazine that
lay on the table and for a few mo-
ments turned It's leaves from one story
to another, trying to interest herself,
but failing. Then she lifted the news
paper that lay at her feet, but it also
was soon cast aside, and she leaned
back in her chair, with half closed
eyes, looking out at the cruiser in the
bay. A slight haze arose between her
and the ship, thickening and thicken-
ing until at last it obscured the vessel.
Dorothy was oppressed by a sense Of
something forgotten, and she strove in
vain to remember what it was. 1t was
Of the utmost Importance, she was GER

mental anxiety the greater.
At last out of the gloom she saw
Sabina approach, clothed in rags, and
then a flash of intuition enabled her to
grasp the difficulty. Through her re-
missness the ball dress was unfinished,
and the girl, springing to her feet,
turned %intuitively to the sewing ma
chine, when the ringing laugh of Kath-
crime dissolved the fog.
"Why, you poor girl, what's the mat
ter with you? Are you sitting down to
drudgery again? You've forgotten the
fortune!'
"Are-are you back already? cried
Dorothy, somewhat wildly.
