MEN OF HE TROWEL ARE AGAIN WORKING BnckIayerS, After Further Con- sessions to Carpenters,
 Call It Off,

DOUGLAS, March Special. )-
 Some of the bricklayers who have been on strike for the past several days in sympathy with the carpenters are today back at work. their urion at a special meeting late yesterday af- ternoon, following an additional prop osition made the carpenters by the contractors, in which further conces- sions were made, having voted, by narrow margin, 1t is said, to resume work today regardless of the carpen- ters. Their action called of the sym pathetic strike in which they have been engaging and leaves the fate of the carpenters strike to be decided on it's own merits.
 They. the carpenters, declined the new proposition of the contractors which was received late in the after. noon, and which was in effect that the contractors would grant them a minimum scale of s4 for jack legs" and maximum scale of s5 for carpen- ters who are skilled mechanics. The proposition was declined, 1t is claimed, on the ground that the constitution of the carpenters union will not permit of them accepting sliding scale. At any rate they turned down this pro posal and their action in doing so was followed by the desertion of the brick masons who feel that they have done their duty by their brother workmen.
 Notifying the carpenters of their ac- ton the brick masons addressed the following note to them:
 Douglas, March If, 1907. ''To the Honorable Committee Car
 penters' Union:
 We the ,bricklayers Of Douglas, have decided to return to work on the grounds that the contractors will give the mechanical carpenters five dollars per day with a minimum of four dol lars per day for jack leg" carpen- ters. Hoping this will meet with your approval we remain your brothers and co-workers, The Bricklayers.
 "J. P. BIGELOW, Sec"
 This, it Is believed, will bring the strike to an end without further tenn porzing on the part of the contractors If is well known that the brick masons are among the best organized of any craft and that the carpenters are among the poorest. A non-union brick mason is a rarity, while many nO0-uuLGn SdTptuUSES Sdil Dc AOhHO The contractors have made little de termined effort-at least, some oi them-to import carpenters, holding of from that alternative with the hope that an amicable settlement could be made with the striking carpenters Now, however, it is stated, active measures will be taken to import non union carpenters and the contractors believe they will be successful. The carpenters, however, think they are suficiently well organized to keep non union men away, or failing in that are sufficiently loquacioEs to out-talk them when they get of the train
 Walking delegates meet all incom ing trains and if anyone with a kit of tools is sighted or if he has the ap pearance of beng carpenter, wheth CT he looks like a three dollar man ol a ten dollar man, he is called of to one side and interviewed on the unions demand of a minimum wage scale of s5.

BASED UPON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.

The dividend of the Tonopah company has been reduced for this
quarter from 35 cents to % cents a share. This was probably a dbap-
pointment to many. for the general impression was that the dividend
would not be les. than so cents a share.
At first glance this action on the part of the directors seems mex
plcable in view of the fact that the big mine is in better condition than
ever in its history. The 100 stamp mill has been in operation for sew
eal months and a a result there is more ore being reduced than ever
went to the smeHer, and besides this there is little, if any. falling off in
the amount of the shipments to the smelter. The company has more
money on hand than ever.
The action OF the directors was based upon strictly business prin-
cples. The depression is general throughout the country; money is
tight in all quarters. In cases of this kind, the careful business man
conserves his resources, and seeks to pile up his reserve capital rather
than let it go out. In fact, he makes his money a S tight as that of the
big financial institutions. He believes in keeping something O hand in
case OF al emergency. If it should come to pass that the need for ready
money should arise, he figures that it is better to have it on hand than
to be obliged to go out and borrow it from the banks, with the uncer-
tainty Of getting it on the best of security.
This is, without doubt, the view of the matter that the directors
OF the Tonopah Mining company have taken. They believe that in
times of depression it is wise to prepare for prosperity. The mine is in
creastng its yield; it is in a prosperous condition; but suppose that an
accident should happen, or that any other emergency should arise
WheTe ready money were needed. There is no emergency which now
presents itself, that there is not sufficient money in the treasury to take
care OF; for the wise men, in cutting down the dividends have provided
for 1t. Had the dividend been passed all together, there would have
bee ne cause for complaint; but the shareholders may consider them
selves fortunate that this did not occur, and be happy at the thought
mat more than half a loaf is better than no bread

THE OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.

The stock market which was strong o the New York and Gold
held curbs on Saturday last, showed signs yesterday of continuing
strong. There is a diversity of opinion as to the permanency of the mar
ket, and it is in such a condition as to keep even the knowing ones
guessing, Judging by the past experience it would be just as well to
watch things with a careful eye.
The principal feature of a market is to have buyers for the Sc
curiues. Like all other branches of business, the price of stock is de-
pendent upon the demand. The demand is occasioned, II should be
oecasoned by the condition of the mines; by the production of ore; by
the earning capacity, as it were, or the ability to pay dividends. Stocks
are bought for investment on these lines; and for speculation, on the
possibilities of these conditions being fulfilled.
The question arises as to where the buyers are to come to make
the market. On an active market buyers are plentiful, for the chance to
make quick turns appeals to all classes of people, and they follow the
general procession. The thing is to get the buyers started. About this
time last year the principal spectators were the San Francisco people
finds in the Mohawk were gaining currency, and the mine continued to
look better, and IS a gold producer the Hayes Monnette lease was max
ing new history for the Mohawk in the gold mines of the world. Many
of those who started in Is spectators held o to their stocks S in
gestments. Big blocks Of the Mohawk were bought up and the world
began to hear of the great mine The east finally awakened to the OPP
portunities that were being lost. Fl
There we're other finds, and the horse shoe of Goldfed wherein
was supposed to lie all the wealth of the district, became a center for
operations. Then came the craze for cheap stocks, promotions follow
ed, and the COUNTRY was. deluged with stocks and mines. Before some of
the latter had a chance to make good, everything was tied up by the
strike, but the stability had been knocked out of it by conditions, not
only in Godfeld, but throughout the country.
The buyers for the opening of this market seem to be coming from
the eastern centers, which, IS they were the first to succumb to the
general depression, seem to be the first to recover During the dull spell,
the mines were being proved up, and now many of the mines oil Goldfeld
are in a condition to defy knockers and fakirs whether thuy come out
of the east Or Denver. The ore is being hosted out of the shafts at a
rate that makes the great gold mines of Australia and of our own Com
stock look like mere memories
Tonopah shared in the general depression, although there was no
strike here, nor trouble of any kind. The prices of the securities went to
ridiculousy low figures and are still there. The mines of the camp will
take a back seat for no district. The Tonopah mine is the second silver
producing mine in the world, and there are many more mines here

there was something in it; so when

At the time the News paid little
attention to even DR.. >Keeler's story,
believing he had been taken in like
many others who have spent money
looking for these lost bonanzas.
But the discovery of Joe Danen-
berg confirms the statements of the
prospector, and as no one can shed
any light on any previous operations
in that vicinity, it will have to be
taken for granted that this is at least

RAILROAD SUIT
IS POSTPONED

CARSON CITY. July 1.-THE suit
brought by Attorneys Herrin, Dunno
and Kelley for the Southern Pacific,
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake, the Nevada and California, the
Tonopah and G%oldfield, and the Las
Vegas and Tonopah railroads against
the Nevada railroad commission will
not be heard as scheduled in the cir
cult court here tomorrow. Inability
on the part of Attorney General
Stoddard, Judge j. F. Bartine and
State Senator James T. Boyd to pre-
pare their answer to the corporation
representatives complaint in so short
a time caused Judge Harrington to
grant the postponement until July
30.
When the maximum rate law was
passed the Southern Pacific and the
Clark lines began the preparation Of
their defense. Every detail of the
fight was gone into and a lengthy
document alleging the unconstitu-
tionality of the statute was recently
filed in the circuit court. That was
the first information the railroad
commission had that an objection
would be made to the law. Now that
a battle is expected Attorney Gen
eral Stoddard and his associate coun-
sci state they do not mean to act
hastily, but proceed with caution to
win.

RICH ORE FOUND IN
ABANDONED SHAFT

Tales of lost mines are always in
teresting, even to the seasoned min
err, and especially is this true in this
district, where there are supposed to
be several bonanzas abandoned years
ago, and Of which nothing save le-
gend has been heard.
It would be a saerilege to consid-
er a lost mine anything but a boz
nanza, for it appears that nature or
fate, or whatever you might call it,
never intended that a prospector
should die leaving an unknown
quantity behind him in the shape of
a questionable hole in the ground.
But it remained for Joe Danen-
berg to stumble onto a lost mine this
week, and in this instance it is a
bonanza. The old working was dis
covered about two miles northeast
from st. Louis mountain, on the
river side of the range, and assays
from the ore exposed show values of
1888.
Mr.. Danenberg has been prospect
ing in that vicinity for some weeks,
and while following an old trail
came upon a 50-foot shaft around
which was piled several tons of good
looking kuartz. The workings show
that they have not been operated for
some years, yet the shaft was in
good condition. Lying near by was
an old pick and some other rusty
tools, showing that the original own
ers left some of their paraphernalia
behind.
The outerop is traceable several
hundred feet and the ledge is five
feet wide, showing a streak of pay
averaging about eight inches.
Three claims were located on the
find and Mr.. Danenberg is now pre-
pairing to begin development and
take out the rich ore.
The only clue to the identity of
the old working comes through DR..
George d. Keller, who it will be re-
membered came to Searchlight some
weeks ago with the intention of en-
barking in the newspaper business.
But that was not all of DR.. Keeler's
mission, for it is known that he spent
several days in the vicinity of st.
Louis mountain looking for a lost
mine Just before giving up the
search DR.. Keller confided to a News
representative that he had plans and
directions for finding the mine and
that he would return some day and
continue his search. In speaking of
the incident at that time he gave out
the following narrative.
Some months ago | was treating
a miner who said he came from
S~earchlight. He was in a bad way
physically and his death was but a
question of days. AS the end drew
near he called me to him and told
me that he had a wonderfully rich
prospect near Searchlight, and that
knowing he was going to die, he
wanted ms to benefit by finding the
mine. He described it as lying north
east from the st. Louis in a range
OF hills. and said he had performed
considerable work, having taken out
a shipment which he packed to trans
portation on burros. When he left
the property he had some tools and
a quantity of grub which he had
cached near by. He gave me a map
of the ground and | promised to

whose products have been enrtching the world, notwithstanding the de-
preston. More strikes have been made in the working mine, and from
the strikes occurring in the camp, the zone of speculation has widened,
even IS the known oe zone has been enlarged.
With all these advantages, the only thing that can occur to make
. a big market, is the loosening of money in the financial centers. Re-
ports tell us that money is easier in the east, and if the time for the
boom is not at hand, it is certainly approaching. If it comes now or is
deferred or a short while, the mines are aleady doing their share in the
good work. w are ready for the boom. come when it may And it
looks as if the time were at hand.
