welt in his speech as 1.-The most abus-
ed, yet the most popular man in the
United States today" the most en-
thusiastic demonstration thus far in
the convention occurred. Every seat,
apparently, in the big hall came to
its feet and all over the house

was heard. Hats waved, flags and
coats were held aloft.
After. II minutes Of the widest
scenes, Chairman Lodge, giving up
all hope Of quieting the crowd, sat
down. The demonstration continued
undated, the cry of "Four, four,
four years more" echoed through the
hall, the monotonous repetition con-
tinuing like a chant. Cecil Lyon of
the Texas delegation, on the plat
fern. encouraged the continuance of
the demonstration. Lodge raped for
order unheeded.
Suddenly Miss Maude Neal of the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, in the press
stand. produced Teddy bear and
there was greater enthusiasm. Ted
dy" was tossed all over the hall.
Other "Teddies'' came into play, and
pandominium reigned. xietv< - i
The demonstration showed no sign
of abating when Lodge endeavored to
resume his speech, but the rap OF his
gavel only retarded the cheering
After several minutes Lodge tried
again and finally succeeded in get

When Lodge said that any one
who attempts to use the presidents
name as candidate is no friend OF
Roosevelt, the cheering again broke
out, but the seriousness of the state
ments being made. brought the hall
to Quietness.

!. J. Garland was an arrival last
evening from Phoebe, where he has
been employed at the mines for some
time. Mr.. Garland states that con-
ditions around Phoebe have improved
greatly in the last few months and
are now looking brighter than in a
long time. More men are being en-
ployed right along and development
steadily extending. Some very good
ore bodies have recently been added
by development TO the resources of
the district and further results along
this line are confidently expected dur
ing the next few months.
Mr. Garland states that around
Phoebe there is entire confidence that
as soon as financial conditions clear
a little more in the big money CEN
ters and funds become available once
more for the conduct Of new enter
prises. extension OF the Clark road TO
Ely district will be made. There is
report about Phoebe that this extern
sion will bring about new consoli-
dalton of mining interests and shat
one result will be the erection Of an
other smelter and concentration in the
Steptoe valley. Plans To this end
are said 10 have been under way for
some time and to have been prac-
tically contaminated.

changing a number of blows the men
grappled and turned the fight into

MARKET * sTaGSANT.
Traders Who Looked for Continuance
of Turbulent Conditions uisap-
pointrd-St,rngth Manifest.

NEW YORK. Aug. Disap-
pointment was the portion OF those
who thought thai today's stock mar
ket would show some further reflec-
iion of the early weeks turbulence.
As a matter of fact the days bust
ness was almost The dnllest for some
weeks and nearly the smallest of any
full day this year. Trading the first
hour was under 63 600 shares and
in the following hour less than 49,
600 shares changed hands. while
throughout the afternoon session
there were frequent periods OF COM
plete stagnation.
Some uneasiness was fell at the
outset of today's operations, but re-
assuring adyices from official sources
soon impaired a firm tone 10 the list.
The speculative faction is disinclined
for variety of reasons 10 make
fresh ventures Just nov and this at
ttude is quite certain 10 he maintain

cent events has been reached by in

that element for some time to come.
The greater ease of money will be a
favorable factor in STRENGTHENING out
any trouble that may nave resulted
from the recent spectacular market
operations.
A point tending 20 prove the inner
ent strength OF underlying conditions
is found in the fact that while the
past fortnight has been one of the
most memorable in the history of the
local stock exchange, the average
prices of the 20 leading railway issues
shows practically no change. The aft
ernoon session brought little or no
change. but under the lead of South

PSOGRESS MADE HERE IN \
YEAR ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE
CONFIDENT OF GREAT
THINGS IN FUTURE.

Messrs. l.. X. and j. W Morse,
prominent Boston brokers who ar
rived here Wednesday night. spent
yesterday in inspection of the big re-
ducfion works at McGill and return
ed from their trip gratified beyond
expression. as they put IT, with what
they saw.
It Is year ago since these gen
tlemen last visited the Ely district
and in that time they say there has
been more progress made in construc-
tion of the mammoth works at Nc
Gill than one could imagine possible.
We have visited many of the most
important copper camps in the west
during our trip" said one of the
gentlemen last evening. and no.
where have we found anywhere near
the activity and extent of improve
ments that are being made here. The
magnitude of the plans being put
into execution and the strides with
which the work is being accomplish
ed make one wonder.
I'VE had expected TO find big
things doing here but il made us
marvelfto discover that such wonder
Iu1 HtduWdf Hdu btEb maui. ~
sides il is very apparent that the
mammoth reduction works will be
the most modern and efficient In exr
istence and we look to see the COM
panies here in position TO turn out
a tremendous production of copper
at cost very materially less than the
big producers now supplying the
market. With. the economic system
OF mining of the vast tonnage of ores
from the mines of the companies
here. together with the splendid re-
duction works treating same at ex-
ceeding low cost there is every rea-
son why the stocks of Nevada Con-
solidated and Cumberland Ely main
tain their strong positions in the
stock markets. They we'll merit the
favoritism being extended them
among the heavy investors in the
east and everywhere where copper
stocks are dealt in and We look for
them 10 make material gain in this
respect as the time approaches when
they will be among the largest sellers
OF copper.
