EASTERN INVESTOR PLEASED
WITH GOLDFIELD VENTURE

that / have deemed so conservative in
their investments that thew would buy
nothing else but gold dollars, and peo-
nile whom / thought I might interest in
project, / have found are loaded up
IN their ears with all kinds of ''fy-by-
night, propositions. 1t has been no
easy matter to pick out those who could
snare the money, or had the money to
snare and would look upon 1t as a strict
" gambling proposition. i could have
d;snosed of the stock some time ago.
but II would nave placed me in an un.
enviable position in case nothing should
be derived from the investment. As
YOU well know, the small toad in the
pool often makes the most noise, and
IL is also true of a small stakeholder
who. for the first time having invested
in gold stock, imagines that 1T is only
necessary thereafter to quit work and
RELY upon his diminutive investment
FOR n future livelihood
The writer. who is so pleased with
tba results of his investigation n so
satisfied with his investment that the
fond pronoun "our' appears con-
s~picuously throughout the epistle, con
%tinues:
at do know that should we be sue
oossful we would have at our command
money sufficient to carry out any fu.
ture legitimate proposition irrespective
of the MANY losses that have been met
with bv local people. A large amount
of money has been put into 'eoppers'
but ANYBODY that has common sense
ought to know that a copper PROPOSE
tion cannot be put upon its feet for
less than a million and a half to two
million dollars, and concerns having a
nroposition worthy of placing them in
competition with such companies as the
Amalgamated, the Val-Verde and Calu-
met and Hecla and other properties are
NOT placing them on the market at 5
and 10 cents per share. A good gold
nroposition, honestly conducted, is far
better for the poor man ten times over
than all the eoppers that are now lying
out of doors.
at is nv opinion that within the
next ten years Nevada will be turning
ont not less than so million dollars of
cold. There are millions of tons of
low Grade rock that will eventually be
handled by the introduction of numer
ous mills that will run the total prod
net up to the figure / have mentioned.
T have no hesitancy in prophesying
that within the next six years Nevada
will he turning out not less thar Is to

A. view of the situation generally DIS
closes steady improvement. Money is
in abundant supply at the financial cen
ters and at low rates for both call and
i'm loans. The prevailing rate from
day to day for stock exchange loans IN
New York is IL per cent to = per cent
while the rate for time oans on hrst
class commercial paper-the true test
of the money markets. 2a per cent
to 80 per cent per annum; a sub-normal
rate of interest for this period OF the
year.
The crop prospects throughout the
country are good, and we have the rea-
sonable assurance of another bumper
year with the equally reasonable GER
tainty of continued high prices for the
products of the farm.
While railroad earnings show a heavy
decline for the past few months from
a like period in 1907, the general eur
failing of expenses of the great railway
systems makes up in a measure the loss
and shrinkage in gross receipts.
In the stock market, taking st. Paul
and Union Pacific, the "market lead
ers' as criterion, there has been q
steady, strong advance which is yet
maintained. st. Paul closes today al
1873 SIS, U. p. at 143h, an advance OF
$40 per share in st. Paul and si2 IN
Union Pacific from the low level in
November last.
The banks are in strong condition
and show a disposition to keep heavy
reserves in cash. The lesson Of the
long drawn out panic Of iao7-a bitter
dose but one swallowed with as good 4
grace as possible-will not soon be for
gotten, and while IL leaves a bad taste

SERIOUS FIRE AT TONOPAH

put up by the citizens of Tonopah, in
dependents of the fire department. The
whole town turned out. A call for help
was sent to Goldfcld, and the local de-
partment was at the depot ready to
embark on a special train, when word
was flashed that the fire was under
control. Hose was sent to Tonopah oy
George Wingfield big auto.
No sooner had the embers of the hre
become dead, than a liberal s~ubserlp..
ton was made to clear up the block u
debris, and before a twenty-four hours
had elapsed, material was on the
ground and rebuilding commenced. VI

WEBER STRIKES BACK
AT HIS ACCUSERS

New developments have taken place
in the criminal and civil proceedings
growing out of the alleged ~mismanage-
ment of the Weber lotations.
Henry Weber filed two suits Monday
in the district court, in the former of
which Captain Thomas Hooper is made
the defendant. 1t is alleged in the com
plant that Captain Hooper obtained
possession of 100000 shares in the
Doctor Mining company through a mis-
take. The plaintiff demands a return
of the stock or its alleged equivalent.
10000. The error in delivering the
stock is charged TO Eugene Pattberg,
the bookkeeper for Mr.. Weber, who
testified some weeks ago that he burned
the stock books of the company at
Weber's direction.
Mr.. Weber also sues the Wonder Vul-
ture Mining company for the return of
l 1859, which he alleges he adj
vaneed to the company between the
dates of October 81, 1907, and April 80,
1908, for development work.

GENERAL FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

tions over the country is having a
direct influence on the mining business,
and especially is it noted in Goldfield
and in the other camps surrounding, and
tributary to this peerless one, as well
as over the state generally. Silver
Peak, Round Mountain, Rawhide, Seven
Troughs, and our new :babies'-
strong and lusty nes they promise to
be-Hornsilver, jamestown and Gold
Mountain, or Old Camp, are bene6tting
by the return of confidence in the east.
Large and influential capitalists are
dropping into Goldfeld by every in
coming train; men who are here to back
up their judgment and who are keen
and "wise' to the wonderful oppor-
t~unities which are here for the safe
and profitable investment of surplus
funds. The outlook is certainly n to
be surveyed with cq%uanimity and con-

TIME HAS COME FOR
CHANGE IN MINING MARKET

that mills are WORKING on short time
and many are closed down, and will
bring forward the political situation as
another bugbear, but experience teaches
that stock markets all discount the fu-
ture, and that is exactly what the rail
and Industrial market is doing now.
''We are in a bull market, and one
that looks like developing into a very
strong bull market. 1t is probably an

for from three to six months, but the
fact remains that it is a bull market,

"The mining market as yet has not
taken on the same activity as the big

above, and which is the reasoning Of

1t was decided that every business

end every one must be prepared to

Arrangements will be made for a

PENDLETON HIGH
SORE At GLOW
STUDENTS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
sEyERING RELATIONS WITH
WALLA WALLA SCHOOL.

Declaring that the conduct Of
Coach Glow of the Walla Walla high
school was ungentlemanly and that
he aimed insulting remarks at their
superintendent and principal, the stu
dents of the Pendleton high school
have adopted resolutions severing all
relations with the local high.
The trouble arose over the work of
Prof Glow as referee in the basketball
game between Pendleton and Walla
Walla high schools in the former city
on February %. The game ended in
a tie which was played off, Walla Wal
Ia winning. Pendleton then arose in
Indignation and said the score had
been juggled and that at the end of
the game they were one point ahead,
which would make the playing off of
the tie unnecessary. Then they claimed
the game, which Glow would not, of
course, allow.
Pendeton Sore.
Pendleton had felt sure of winning
and were sore over defeat. They out
played the visitors, they said, but
never have mentioned anything of the
larger number of fouls called on WAL
Ia Walla than on Pendleton. The rup-
ture is unfortunate, but as long as
