TRADE IS ERRATIC
IN Mining STOCKS
Gains and Losses Among Lead
ers About Evenly Divided
On Exchange

Trading in southern Nevada mining
stocks on the Bush street exchange
yesterday was more erratic than has
been the case for several weeks. Gains
and losses among the leaders of the
different districts were about evenly
divided, Great Bend of the Goldfields
experiencing tremendous activity.
Absence of eastern buying orders
had little effect on the market, ac-
cording to the Bush street men, pro-
fessional trading almost wholly TAX
ing the place of the trade from east
ern clients.
A feature of the days business on
the exchange was the appointment Of
committee which viii probe the
Hudgens, who is temporarily discom-
flted.
Great Bend continued the favorite,
opening at 44c, and under a gradual
rise going to 5Sc, when the bear ele-
ment gained control of the situation.
Large blocks OF the stock were
dumped on the market and the price
was mercilessly hammered to 43c,
when, after q slight lull, it rallied 1
point, closing at 44c. Consolidated on
call sold at s5.471s, but followed in the
wake of the decline OF Great Bend and
slid down to S5.421a at close. Florence
saw few sales with a general upward
trend, closing at s3.92k. Daisy fell off
3 points. closing at s1.121a and Franc
tion sold at Csc and 66c.
Of the Tonopahs, Tonopah of Neva-
da lost 125s points, closing at sS37H.
Extension closed at S1.25, a gain of 5
points, and West End was an active
trader all day, opening at 42c, going
to soc and receding to 44c
The CONS tocks were specially
strong, in contrast to recent weakness,
Ophir closing at gain of 10 points;
likewise Mexican. Sierra Nevada was
also active.
A committee OF three, consisting of
Houseworth, Harmon and Hudson, were
appointed yesterday to arrange for the
establishment of clearing house in
connection with the exchange. Nav /
has been fixed as the date upon which
this new plan will be put into opera
ton.

BARTNETT UNDER
CONSTANT GUARD
Indicted Banker Is Carefully
Watched by Those Who
Went on His Bond

Walter J. Bartnett, nominally at lib
erty on s250,00O bail bond, is really un-
der constant espionage. He has a guard
in the person of John OConnell. who
has been engaged by these friends Of
Bartnett who have pledged securities
to his surety company.
Bartnetts manner recently has been
such that it has aroused the anxiety
of his friends, and they fear that he
might do himself an injury or attempt
TO escape justice in flight To protect
themselves from the loss that would
follow they have employed O'ConnelI to
be continually with the indicted banker
Wherever Bartnett goes he Is followed
and attended by O'Connell, and night
and day the latter is near his side
Bartnett is practically never alone This
espionage will be continued until the
Bartnett trial.
Mrs. Anne Dupont Peyton and other
friends have gone on the bail of Bart
indemnity company qualified for $780,
600 bail. In criminal cases a surety
company does not accept a risk unless
the defendant or his friends thoroughly
protect 1t by depositing securities in
an amount equivalent to the bail.
The demurrers of ]. Dalzell Brown
and David F. Walker to the petition of
certain depositors of the California safe

tion. If their expectations are real
lied, the first congressional district

COMPLETES CAMPAIGN PLANS
The San Francisco central commit
tee of the league completed its cam
paign plans yesterday. The executive
committee instructed the district rep
resentatives to arrange for the nonai-
nation of district delegate tickets by
all the clubs on or before next Monday
night. In the fourth congressional
district Julius Kahns scheme for
separate district convention will result
in two delegate tickets being nomi-'
mated by each assembly district club.
Executive Committeeman George L.
Center as chairman. appointed a finance
committee to be composed of the presi-
dents of the several district clubs
This committee will meet Saturday aft
ernoon at the league headquarters. In
the Kanm building, to complete the
financing of the campaign. Although
the Lincoln Roosevelt league was or
ganized eight months ago, it has had as
an organization virtually no expenses
and has solicited no funds.
State and district organizers have
borne all the expenses of their work
The local organization must now pro-
vide for the comparatively small ex-
penses incident to printing and dis
tributing its delegate tickets and a spe-
cial subcommittee appointed by the
finance committee will solicit small in
dividual subscriptions from citizens who
are interested in the fight for free gov
ernment.
1t is the purpose of the central COM
mittee to have the league tickets in the
hands of all the republican voters of

Bing Get is of the common people

cocksure of their ability to deliver that
important and thickly populated dis
trict 10 Herrin, would have expert
enced q rude awakening if they had
attended the meeting held at 1144
oFarren street last night by the Lin
coln-R Roosevelt club.
There were no skyrockets of oratory,
no roman candles of idle boasting. but
there was a strictly business meeting
OF representative men seriously deter
mined to win their fight for clean poll
tics and patiently working out the de-
tails of their campaign plans.
The recently organized Lincoln
roosevelt club in the rty-eighth has
been reinforced by the strength of a
club of independent republicans headed
by ]. L. Murphy, and these two ele-
ments. working harmoniously toward
the common end of exterminating boss
rule, perfected last night one of the
most comprehensive plans for district
work ever attempted in this city.
Ihere are 20 precincts in the thirty
eighth district and 1t has been estimat-
ed that the primary campaign expenses
VIII not exceed $3.50. The club is de-
termined to raise this money by VOL
unteer subscriptions from the republi-
cans OF the district, each precinct to
provide $40 by the collection of small
contributions from those who are in
sympathy with the Lincoln Roosevelt
movement.

Of the people, with absolute home rule

The movement is going with a hur-

Mauzy. and there is no doubt that
the hirty-eighth is going to do its
share"
