The Guggenheim Exploration
Syndicate is still negotiating for
the copper holdings of Newton
Boyd, Thos. Rockhill and w. H
Bray, pioneers of the Ely district,
says the Expositor. According to
Mr.. Boyd, who arrived from Battle
Mountain last night to look after
his Ely interests, G. Madden, an
expert in the mploy of the Gug-
genheims, spent four days looking
over his copper claims about six
miles from Battle Mountain.
WILL LiNvEsneATE
Three other mining men will
make a thorough investigation of
the property. Should the report
of these men be satisfactory, the
syndicate will arrive to take over
the twenty-three claims now own
ed by the Ely men.
III a sale is consum mated, at least
$l50,000 will be Involved, as the
property has long since passed the
prospect stage, and the pcrmanency
of the deposits have been proven.
EXAMINED LAST WINTER
The Guggenheims sent several
experts out to Battle Mountain last
winter to examine these proper
ties, and although their reI ort was
favorable. the Ely men received
notice that the Guggenheims would
be unable TO purchase, on account
of the stringency in the money
market at that time.
"We have discontinued our shaft
work. said Mr.. Boyd, land are
now deyotlng our time to driving
two tunnels. The mines are show
Ing up satisfactorily, and | feel
certain that we will make a sale
this time, as the Guggenheim ex-
pert remained at the mines four
days, and seemed pleased with what
he had seen.'

The HAND OF OP-
PORTUNITY.
The Future of This Section
Very Bright-Mining Men
Flocking to This Dis
trict as the Mecca.

AS time goes on ana we WaIcn
the new discoveries being made in
this State, we wonder if there is
not lying concealed in the long
neglected State of Nevada mineral
deposits that the bringing to light
of will astound the mining world.
True it is that finds of a fabulous
character have been disclosed in
the past few months in this great
State, and there is no reason but
what as the prospect work goes on
new and more remarkable discov-
cries will be made. And such is
the case IN this district to-day.
Surely, Nevada is a great State.
Look at the men who have made
fortunes within her borders. Think
of the poor prospectors who, per-
chance came in on a ''grubstake'
and now wealthy. Think of the
opportunities. Ask yourself if in
the best years Of your life any Sec
tion of this free and independent
land offers more inoucement for
man to lay up that treasure, which,
in old age, will care for the wants
and needs of life than this great
State of ours? The hand of op-
portunity is extended in prolific
qua itities here within our borders.
Many are the ones who can say of
Nevada that fortune smiled on
them in all her festive array. And
as yet the State is i'll her infancy.
As yet the real worth and merit of
Nevada are unknown. Once a
barren desert, passed by unnoticed
by the investing world as being de-
void of all inducement to capital,
Nevada comes to the front and is
the chief topic of conversation in
the lnoneyed marts of the world
to-day. Where at this time is her
equal? Where are there more
pertinent inducements to the in
vestor? None. The minera |
wealth of this great State is but as
the infant in the cradle. Develop
ment will show up the true worth
of tho properties, and the diligent
task of prospecting will bring
forth the fruit of the labor hun
dredfold. When the history of
Nevada is written, the once des-
pissed sagebrush aud sand will CON-
pare to any of the other mineral
lied sections in wealth, in produc-
ing capacity, in all the relative
thugs attendant to successful
mining.
From the outlook at the present
time there is not a locality in the
State of Nevada that has a better
prospect for the future than the
northern end of Lander county
In connection with the agricul-
ture and stock interests of this To-
cality there are innumerable mines
of g Id, silver, lead and copper
that have, and will add greatly to
the wealth Of the county IN the fu-
ture.
With present conditions what {
contrast compared with year ago.
Surely this district is on the verge
of better times and why shouldn
it be? We have the goods, every
ounce of it, and those who canno
see that far have no place in thii
Western World of ours. Minins
men and prospectors have searched
in vain every mountain range il
the west and are now focking t.

District Attorney Jerome, of New York, said one day of a piece of sus- picious evidence:
 Tt is evidence that has been tam pered with, colored. It is like the lady's report of her physicians pre- scription.
 "A lady one day in July visited her physician. The man examined her and said:
 Madam, you are only a little run down. You need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air, and I advise you to dress in the coolest, most comfortable clothes-nothing stiff or formal
 When she got home her husband asked her what the physician had said. The lady replied:
 He said 1 must go to the seashore, do plenty of automobiling, and get some new summer gowns

The foreign office is also in the dark as to whether Sultan Abdel Azis remains at t>eZ or IS marching on Rabat. General Drude Is expected to immediately assume a vigorous offensive. General BIugere formerly commander-in-chief of the French army, in an interview on the Moroccan question, expressed the opinion that the situation is very full of formidable difficulties and may re quire 10 years effort and tho sacrl flee of the lives of thousands ot men and the expenditure of millions ol dollars before the pacificatlon or the country is effected.

PARADE ENDS IN RIOT
Street Cars Stopped by Labor Day Parade and Riot FoIows-Two
 Shot.

San Francisco, Sept.-The labor
 union parade Monday resulted in the shooting of two men by employees of the United Railroads. Car men were attacked by paraders, and, in self-de- fense, opened fire. The trouble start ed at the ferry, where, it is stated a Sutter street car broke the line Of the paraders. A mob of men followed the car, and at the junction of Sutter street members attacked the car. The motorman, seeing his life in danger, opened fire and wounded one of his assailants in the leg. A block further up an inspector was attacked by the mob. He was suddenly struck in the face and ran from his assailants. They followed him to the corner of Sutter and Montgomery streets, wher they overlook him. He drew a pistol and aimed it at union man. who car ried bricks in his hands. The inspec- tor opened fire and shot the man through the groin. Six shots were fired. A riot call was sent in to the police and the fire departments. and a force of police and firemen were soon on the scene.
 The men who did the shooting were arrested, but several rioters who were seized by the police were released. The labor union men who were in the parade evidently thought they had the right of way over the streets. for when the cars of the United Rail- ways attempted to break through the procession there was trouble.

Horses Were Rejected.

New York, Sept.-A drizzling rain, which began falling early Monday morning and continued without ces- sation during the forenoon, did not en- tirely mar New York's celebration of Labor Day. Two great parades of organized workers had been planned, one by the Central Federated Union and the other by the Consolidated Board of Business Agents. Despite the soaking rain, fully 25,0O0 people marched through the streets. In po- sition at the head of the Federated Union parade was delegation of striking telegraphers, bearing a ban ner conveying advice to mail your telegrams." All other organizations carried banners bearing emblems of their union A committee of the horseshoers caused considerable de lay in the starting of the Federated Unions parade by examining the feet of all the horses in line to determine whether or not they wore union-made shoes. All horses whose shoes did not bear the union mark were ordered out of the line, and a number of the mar shals and adjutants and those who had intended riding in carriages were forced to walk
