BRADsTREET's REVIEW

Bradstreet's says: Irregular wea-
ther conditions. with heavy rainfalls
northwest, southwest and south. have
given an uneven appearance to retail
trade reports. Reports from whole
sale trade lines and from leading in
dustries are, however, more cheerful.
House trade in fall goods is reported
light, but travelling men are sending
in better orders, though conservatism
rules IN the buying. Reports as to
industrial resumption at full time
are more numerous in cotton goods
and allied textile lines more than Off
setting reports of shutdowns, and
there are more iron furnaces and
coke ovens reported going to work as
result of the late pig iron buying
movement, which was quieted down.
as prices have advanced. Collections
still reflect the quiet trade doing, in
backward payments.
Money is easy but the inflow from
the country to the large eenters is
Stacking off perceptibly.

TRADING SLUMPs

An exceedingly quiet day for the
Ely stocks was yesterday. the week
closing with all of the local issues
practically stationary at Fridays fig
ures. The trading seems to show sud
den lapse of interest in the coppefs
by the public. This can only be of
short duration
II is expected that with the news
of large production on the part of the
Nevada Consolidated and Cumberland
Ely these stocks will look up during
this week 1t is generally thought
that it is time for increased interest
to be shown. This is more than war
ranted by immense ore showing of
the Veteran of Cumberland Ely and
the monster steam shovel work under
way on Copper Flat.
II is not known when the Ely stock
exchange will reopen for daily calls.

week will see the start. Closing

CENTRALS' SHAFT

Ground will be chosen during the
week for the starting of three COM
partment shaft on the property of the
Ely Central at Copper Flat, accord
ing to announcement made last even

company, who is here for the purpose
of consulting with Superintendent f
S. Pheby.
The shaft will be sunk in all prob
ability near the line of the Central

showing of ore was encountered in a
drill hole sunk last year. Twenty
feet OF ore carrying native copper,
under which was sulphides to an un-
known depth, is the manner in which
Mr.. Turner described the showing of
the hole. When the site of the shaft
has been definitely determined, sink

ply also objected TO an offer to prove
that Bush was mining recorder of
White Pine district at the time that
the documents which were TO be in
troduced were filed. This was also
sustained by the court. The defense
then moved that the action be non
suited on the ground that the affida-
Wit of Minoletti which was offered in
evidence had not been filed within
the prescribed time and could not
therefore be legal. This was refused
by the court that there were no legal
grounds on which this could he done.
The plaintiff rested at this point.
Mrs Mary F. Cupid was put on the
stand but before she had an oppor-
tunity to give testimony Chandler &
Quayle abandoned the case and the
action was as a result declared non
suited. Court then adjourned until
Monday morning at $50.

lived first at Ward, when it was a
town of Importance, later at Taylor
and finally about 20 years ago came
to Ely to settle.
Three children, all of whom are
now dead. were born TO the couple.
In October, 1898, the husband died
suddenly one day while lying upon the
very lounge which yesterday became
her death couch. He was buried in
Ely. Since that time Mrs. Ranger
has lived practically alone. She was
an ardent church woman and men,
Der of the Catholic church.
Yesterday morning. and up to a
half hour before she was found dead,
Mrs. Ranger was apparently as well
as she had ever been In her life. She
spent the forenoon in preparing some
bread and other toothsome dainties
for donation to the food sale which
was conducted by the Catholic la
dies. She sent this down about .
O'Clock and was seen by neighbors
about 2:30.
Shortly before O'Clock Mrs. G..
f. Merger and Mrs. Matte Holmes
went TO the house to make call
upon Mrs. Ranger. Upon receiving
no answer to their knocks they peer
ed in through the glass of the door
and saw her lying on the floor beside
the couch in her parlor. evidently
having rolled off il. Becoming alarm
ed, they notified friends and upon
re-entering the house it was found
she was dead.
Funeral arrangements are not yet
complete. A telegram was sent to

brother named there is another and
married sister, both residing in the
same town as Mr. Revier. Word is
awaited from them.

NEW YORK. June 6.-There was
but scanty material for interest IN
the stock market today. The total
of the days dealings discloses a VIC
lent shrinkage in the volume of trad
ing, the days sales falling 10 a
smaller total than for several months
and during The latter part of the day
there was almost entire stagnation.
There was some reduction from the
unusual dealings ON account of the
dullness of the London stock mar
ket. where there will be a holiday
tomorrow and Monday Aside from
this there was no apparent eXplana-
ton of the sudden lapse of interest
i'm the dealings The demand for
stocks was exceedingly meager. but
the cessation of the selling. which
flooded the market yesterday, was
even more remarkable.
II was this feature which opened
the day TO the slow movement OF
prices. Union Pacific continued TO
hold its dominant place In the deal
ings. and except for some supple
mentary interest in Reading there
was really nothing else calling for
notice in the days proceedings. The
postponement of the public Offering
of the Union Pacific bond issue sub
scribed for by bankers was given
some influence as a deterrent from
active operations. The conclusion of
that financial transaction. however, Is
ascribed as the principal reason for
the sudden cessation of the agrees
i've operations to hold and advance
prices of stock.
A rise In the price of lead here and
of copper in London was of some in
luenee on the Industrial stocks in
those trades. The days results at
the stock exchange as a whole were
trivial
Announcement of the omission of
the semi-annual dividend of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Co. was made
after the close of the market. Stock
of that company was weak in the late

There is one particularly note
worthy feature in the above statistics.
This is the remarkably large output
made by certain states which have
not heretofore figured as copper pro-
ducers of any consequence. Some of
these have had to be grouped in or
der to avoid the disclosure of identi-
ty, but 1t may be remarked that Ala
bama, North Carolina and Virginia
produced nearly 100000 pounds of
copper in 1907; Wyoming produced
upward of $500, 900 pounds; Nevada
produced nearly 100000 pounds;
Vermont produced nearly 700, 900
pounds, and Missouri figured With a
substantial output, These figures
show the great stimulus of high
price for copper in bringing out pro-
duction from many small mines
which normally acn not he worked at
a profit The same condition is re-
fiected in the statistics of the states
like Colorado and New Mexico whose
ore goes chiefly TO custom smelters.
The high price prevailing during the
jor portion of 1907 led to the OPP
Grafton of many little mines, whose
output was large in the aggregate.
Since the price passed under / ) cents,
many of these have ceased to operate.

After it had become apparent that
the court would not admit evidence
offered by the plaintiff in the action
of Charles Minoletti vs.. Mrs. Mary
f. Cupid ct al, Chandler a Quayle,
attorneys for plaintiff, yesterday
abandoned the action. which was
promptly put out of existence by an
order of non-suit by Judge Pike.
Al the opening of the hearing in
the morning peculiar point in law
was brought before Judge Pike. This
was as to whether service of notitica-
ton of forfeiture of right TO mining
property by registered mail is 10 be
classified as personal service. The
court ruled that II is not.
The action involved dispute over
title to the Ne Plus Ultra No. ., a
mining claim said TO be very valuable,
situated in the Hamilton mining dis
triet II is the allegation of Mino-
letti that j. +. Cupid forfeited his
right to interest in the property be-
cause he failed to pay his portion of
the cost of assessment work. The
plaintiff is represented by Chandler
d Quayle, while F. X. Murphy repre-
sents the defendant. Upon the case
being called for trial yesterday a
stipulation, agreed to by both sides,
was entered by the defendant, show
ing that the claim had been located
10y Cupid on January /. 1902. Coun-
ty Recorder Mcknight produced rec
ord books from his Office in which the
following documents were recorded:
A deed from j F. Cupid to Richard
Willis. bearing date of November Is,
1894, and carrying with it a two
thirds interest in the claim in dis
pute A second deed from Willis to
Charles Minoletti conveyed a one
third interest in the group. The
plaintiff then attempted to introduce
in evidence affidavit and notice of
forfeiture which they allege had been
sent by Minoletti to Cupid. Defense
objected, saying there was nothing
TO show personal service upon the
defendant, and was sustained by the
court. The plaintiff took exception.
Another peculiar point later came
to light, when the plaintiff offered to
the court that the registered letter
said to contain the notice of forfeit
ure to Cupid had been received by
him and the registry receipt had been
signed by him. Judge Pike, after
listening TO arguments advanced by
both sides, sustained the objection
of defense on the ground that as
Cupid is dead no testimony on this
point can be competent. To this the
plaintiff excepted. An attempt to Of
fer as evidence letter from Cupid
to d. C. Mcdonald showing that Gu
pid was aware of the state of facts
was successful. objection being over
ruled. Defense excepted.
At the afternoon session the de-
Tense entered objection TO the court
considering the letters. This he
based on the ground that they did
not prove any service of the notifica-
ton of abandonment. He was sus-
tanned by the court, the defense ex-
eepting The affidavit of Minoletti
was also ruled out because there was
no evidence to base a conclusion that
service had been had upon him and
upon the specific ground also that
the affidavit had not been filed within
the 80 day limit prescribed by law.
William Mcknight was recalled
and asked to identify the signature
of Henry Bush, but this was objected
to and the objection sustained. MUIR
