covery of the rich streaks makes
it one of the greatest PROPOSE
tons in the west. With the
new transportation facilities on
hand it is expected that several
carloads Of ore daily will be
leaving Phoebe from the Jack
rabbit mines alone.
Again rumor has it that a tun-
mel will be run from the Day
mine through the Bristol noun
tain to tap the Hillside on the
Bristol side. This would open
up one of the greatest mineral
belts in this section and would
afford easy access to the railroad
of the great amount of ore now
blocked out in several properties
on the other side, such as the
May Day and Gypsy of the Bris-
tol Consolidated, the several
propertiessof the Nevada-Utah,
the Ida May and numerous other
shippers of the Bristol district.
Great activity will follow the
completion of the contemplated
tunnel, and to use well worn
expression the Bristol and Jack
rabbit will be 'hummers" this
coming summer.

cells into the main corridor of
the Jail. They then attacked the
outer door and removed several
of the large rocks with the in
tent to loosen the large staple
upon which the outer door is
locked. That they did not sue

Treasurer Eugene Goodrich was
awakened by the noise, and inn
mediately informed the officers.
However, Jailer Walker and
Deputy Sheriff Galloway were
coming from town about this
time and passed the court house,
while Goodrich was on his way
to Walkers residence.
The officers state they heard
unusual noises, and Officer Gallo

the situation of affairs and mean

What proved to be all but a
successful attempt at Jail break
ing occurred in the county jail
Tuesday morning one o'clock.
Three prisoners. sent up from
Searchlight to await the action
of the grand jury on the charge
of burglary, were the star actors
in the movement. These pris-
oners are charged with dyna-
hitting the safe in Brown-Gos-
ney's store at Searchlight; but
were detected in the attempt by
the nightwatchman of the latter
place lotto Bodice and after
a running fight, in which several
shots were exchanged, were
captured by a posse of deputy
sheriffs and the night watchman.
The evidence against the men
was very clear and they were
held to the grand jury.
Jailer Walker has known the
men to be unusually tough char
acters, being advised of the fact
by other officers in the State.
Therefore. he took extra pre-
cautions toward guarding the
prisoners. Notwithstanding this
extra diligence, the men, through
the assistance of one of the time
prisoners, who is working on the
outside, secured pick in some
manner unknown to the officers

New York Market News

The course of the stock mar.
ket for the week has justified
the analysis of the situation
made in this column a week ago.
The tendency both on the ex,
change and on the curb was
steadily downward until Thurs.
day when the inevitable reaction
begun. This reaction should
continue sharply for several
days.
Stocks have acted since the
panic strictly in accordance with
Dow's theory that after a severe
financial crisis there is always a
very sharp recovery followed by
a slow decline wiping out from
one-half to two-thirds of the ad-
vance. The decline of the past
three. or four weeks wiped out
more than half of the previous
advances and consequently stu
dents of Wall street history argue
that both speculative and invest
ment purchases should be made
now.
Certain it is that no buyer of
investment securities on these
levels will lose money if he buys
outright unless the country alb
solutely goes to the dogs.
With the lessening Of liquida-
ton the bitterness of feeling
which arose on account Of the
presidents last message has SUBJ
sided and a more cheerful feeling
is now evident. Wall street is
prone to accept the Taft victory
in Ohio as indicating the likeli-
hood of a Taft victory in the
Republican convention next sum-
mer. New York fnanciers now
seem to be resigned to govern
ment supervision of corporations
and | believe there will be no
real Wall street opposition to
Taft's nomination when the con-
vention meets.
The advances Thursday were
largely due to short coverings.
There is a big short interest
which can be squeezed hard
when the pools get ready to put
the market higher. Before this
occurs, however. the annual
statements of the great trunk
lines must have been made pub
lie and the rumored dividend re-
ductions put into effect. It is
said that Atchison, N. Y. Gen.

Rich Ore In
the Demijohn

Pioche, New, Feb. 20, 1903.
Mr.. Editor:
/ have had the pleasure, the
last week, to go through the
Demijohn mine, just three miles
west of town; and l must say
that the showing they have in
sight in simply remarkable, and
demonstrates that with proper
development, we have one of the
greatest mineral countries there
are out of doors on the Pacific
Coast. Practically .undeveloped,
(not even prospected) as COM
pared with other countries; and
l think these facts should be
known and published in your
valuable paper.
The Demijohn mining property
was taken over by Salt Lake cap
ital last spring. They have been
steadily developing on the 100
foot level, about 40 feet east of
the shaft; they have encountered
a north and south vein. After
drifting on small streak of iron
about IS feet to the south, they
encountered very promising
streak of ore, which dipped to
the west. They have sunk a
winze on the ore. 1t has en-
larged in size and value as depth
was attained, until they have
one of the finest bodies of ore
that can be found in any of the
properties in and around the
country.
The ore lies in the lime, the
values are phenomenal; going up
in the hundreds Of dollars in
silver, lead and gold. The rich
est Of the ores are sulphides and
chlorides, and for that reason
the values run high. The COM
pany has many hundreds of tons
of lower grade in sight. which
viii, without a doubt, be an ideal
fiuxing ore.
AS the values lie in a soft OK
idized iron with very little silica,
the company intends sinking the
shaft down to 200 foot mark, be-
fore putting any Of the large
body of ore now in sight on the
market. And it is safe in saying
that the Demijohn mine will, in
the near future, be one of the
greatest shippers in and around
Pioche; for you must bear in
mind the Demijohn mine is in
line with the famous Yuba por-
phry dyke. wich win be demon
strated as depth is attained.
Yours for a better and greater

Equipment
Is Ordered
Nevada State Police Con-
sisting of Six Officers
and Fifty Men Will
Take Field.

A telegram to the Carson News
under date of February 13 from
Ely, Nevada, states:
The first step in equipping the
Nevada state police, which was
created by a special session OF
the legislature. was taken today
by Adjutant General Dickerson
by placing the following order
with the Rawlings Sporting
Goods House of st. Louis: Fifty
3O-30 Winchester carbinss; fifty
Colts pistols, long, both to be Of
the latest model; one hundred
rounds of ammunition for each
carbine and pistol; fifty nickel
plated badges, numbering from
l to SO, with the words Nevada
State Police stamped on each;
four badges with the words Ser
geant Nevada State Police; one
badge with the words Inspector
Nevada State Police; one badge
with the words Superintendent
Nevada State Police.
The order, which is made at
the request of Superintendent
Cox, of the Nevada State Police,
was sent to the house by tele-
graph this afternoon and calls
for the immediate delivery of the
goods by express in Carson.
Special uniforms will also be or.
dered at an early date, but the
superintendent is anxious to
complete the organization and
have it equipped with firearms
at once.
The Nevada state police force,
according to the present plans of
the superintendent, will consist
of fifty men and six officers, who
will be armed and uniformed at
once and placed in readiness to
go wherever duty may call them.
The necessity of ordering the
arms by telegraph is believed to
be due to the presidents desire
that the state should assume
control of the Goldfield situation
at the earliest possible date.

Will Be Made
New Locomotive, Cars and Rails En-
Route For Phoebe & Pacific

Plans have been perfected by
the Nevada Utah management
for the handling of a great ton
mage from their Day mines at
Jaclorabbit.
To make this possible a new
locomotive has been ordered, to-
gether with thirty new ore cars
and ten miles of new track will
be laid. This will put the mar
row gauge in a position to han
die a great amount of ore daily,
which the mines at the Jackrab-
bit end are in a position to fur
nish.
AS to the condition of the
mine, it is stated that it is re-
spending wonderfully to the
work being prosecuted. The
Day mine has been looked upon
as in measure low grade, being
depended upon chiefly for the
tonnage which it would furnish.
but this theory has recently been
shattered by the discovery of
nine bodies of ore running from
80 to $50 ounces to the ton.
There is a veritable mountain of
ore in the Day mine and the dis

Work at the
BOstOn-P PiOche

Work is progressing on the
Yuba East shaft as rapidly as
three shifts can carry it down.
The station on the 200 foot level
was completed on the 18th of
this month and the shaft is down
q feet below the 200 foot. No
attempt to cut the ore bodies
encountered below from which
several car loads were shipped
averaging 121 ounces in silver
and so per cent lead, will be
made. until the station is cut at
the 300 foot level, when drifting
will be started simultaneously
from 200 and 800 foot levels.
This is the ore body, the dis
covery Of which caused the cele-
brated lawsuit between A. w.
McClune, of Salt Lake City, and
VIM. Lloyd and John Cook of
this town. The Boston and
Pioche Mining Company pur-
chased the rights of both liti-
giants, and now the interest of
many not directly concerned is
centered upon the opening up of
this ore shoot in close proximity
and in every way similar to the
old Bonanza ore shoot which
made Phoebe famous a quarter of
q century ago.
1t is the purpose of the COM
pany to ship no more ore for
several months, or until the
metal markets improve, but to
devote every energy to opening
up large reserves of ore so that
when ore shipments begin they
can be maintained with regu-
larity.

Denver Republican,: 1t Is whis-
pered around the Denver Club that
Mr.. J. H. Fesler will soon receive
a testimonial from his innumerable
friends as deserved recognition of
his patriotic service in coming to the
relief of the financial community dur.
ing the recent panic. They say that
when the banks were paralyzed and
the clearing house had lost It's breath,
nothing saved the situation but the
volume Of certified checks valorously
issued by the genial Jack. His was
the magic touch that galvanized the
corpse Of local credit into renewed
life In Denver, and the checks which
he issued were welcomed with avid
ity alike by banks and the public.
When ]. Pierpont Morgan came to
the rescue of Wall street he had to
get s25,000,000 in gold from the
United States treasury to convince
the skeptics of Gotham that he meant
business; but Jack Fesler merely
signed his name to as many checks
as were needed, and 10! the trick was
